Kindle Edition, 2015 © The New Yorker COMMENT SEARCH AND RESCUE BY PHILIP GOUREVITCH On the evening of May 22, 1988, a hundred and ten Vietnamese men, women, and children huddled aboard a leaky forty-five-foot junk bound for Malaysia. For the price of an ounce of gold each—the traffickers’ fee for orchestrating the escape—they became boat people, joining the million or so others who had taken their chances on the South China Sea to flee Vietnam after the Communist takeover. No one knows how many of them died, but estimates rose as high as one in three. The group on the junk were told that their voyage would take four or five days, but on the third day the engine quit working. For the next two weeks, they drifted, while dozens of ships passed them by. They ran out of food and potable water, and some of them died. Then an American warship appeared, the U.S.S. Dubuque, under the command of Captain Alexander Balian, who stopped to inspect the boat and to give its occupants tinned meat, water, and a map. The rations didn’t last long. The nearest land was the Philippines, more than two hundred miles away, and it took eighteen days to get there. By then, only fifty-two of the boat people were left alive to tell how they had made it—by eating their dead shipmates. It was an extraordinary story, and it had an extraordinary consequence: Captain Balian, a much decorated Vietnam War veteran, was relieved of his command and court- martialled, for failing to offer adequate assistance to the passengers. -

Stage Kiss” by Sarah Ruhl Directed by Jeffrey Bracco January 16-February 16 Supported by Producers Sandra Moll & Rick Holden Synopsis
Next on our stage: CODED THE LITTLE FOXES OUR TBA MUSICAL! MARCH 12-APRIL 11 MAY 14-JUNE 14 JULY 16-AUGUST 23 HIGHLIGHTS A companion guide to “Stage Kiss” by Sarah Ruhl directed by Jeffrey Bracco January 16-February 16 supported by Producers Sandra Moll & Rick Holden Synopsis What happens when life and art get too cozy? Part backstage comedy and part offbeat love story, Stage Kiss follows two actors with a history. After they’re cast opposite each other again, the lines start to blur. “When I kissed you just now, did it feel like an actor kissing an actor or a person kissing a person?” the leading lady asks. Either way, the show must go on — consequences be damned. Characters Nearly everyone plays more than one role in Stage Kiss, which (as one would expect from a comedy-love story about the theater) contains a play within a play. She (April Green): An actress in her mid-40s. Plays the role of Ada Wilcox opposite He, her former lover. He (Asher Krohn): An actor in his mid-40s. Plays the role of Johnny Lowell opposite She. In Act Two, after the play closes, they take on altogether different roles, in more ways than one. The Director (Tom Gough): A director Adrian Schwalbach, who helms the play in Act One and then heads to a new artistic project. In Detroit. Kevin (Matthew Regan): The reader and awkward understudy. Also plays the doctor, the butler and the pimp. The Husband (Damian Vega): The husband, or Harrison. Is he clueless, long- suffering or smarter than you think? Angela / Maid / Millie (Alexandra Velazquez): Millie and the maid in Act One; Angela in Act Two. -
Chef David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris Make Every Day a Celebration
f you suspect every day is a celebra- tion at chef David Burtka and actor Neil Patrick Harris’ house, you’d be right. That’s because, for Burtka, it’s life of the isecond nature to turn any gathering— even weeknight family dinners—into a party. He’s encouraging the rest of us to do the same in his first cookbook,Life Is a Party, coming out next month. “I think it’s so important for us to be social and get together with friends,” says Burtka. Harris agrees: “Life is a party when you have other people to celebrate with.” Burtka and Harris have been celebrat- ing together since 2004. They welcomed twins (by surrogate) in 2010 and married in 2014. After living in Los Angeles for 10 years while Harris, 45, starred in How I Met Your Mother, they now reside in New York. Gathering friends and family to enjoy good food is a family tradition. It’s what Burtka, 43, learned growing up in a large family in Dearborn, Mich. “It was normal to go to a party for any reason—a christening, a birthday,” he recalls. “It was always a good time—a celebration around food and drink. Everyone would chip in, and we’d have fun, and there’d be dancing and games. It was just a really great A way to grow up.” P RTY His culinary Chef David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris make career turned pro when he graduated every day a celebration.

The Morning Line
THE MORNING LINE DATE: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 FROM: Michelle Farabaugh, Jennie Mamary Cameron Draper, Katelyn Fuentes PAGES: 17, including this page. April 15, 2015 Review: ‘It Shoulda Been You,’ a Wedding on Broadway By Ben Brantley As the father of the bride might put it, “Oy.” “It Shoulda Been You,” which opened on Tuesday night at the Brooks Atkinson Theater, confirms the sad truth that weddings — those supposed celebrations of everlasting love — bring out the worst in some people. That includes cynics, show-offs, heavy drinkers, envious have-nots and, it would seem, the creators of American musicals. The last big wedding-themed show I remember on Broadway was “A Catered Affair” (2008), a singing adaptation of Paddy Chayefsky’s 1956 movie that turned the sentimental tale of a blue-collar bride into a dishwater-gray dirge. “It Shoulda Been You” takes the opposite tack. It’s so aggressively bubbly it gives you the hiccups. Or do I mean acid reflux? In any case, it’s not easy to swallow. Featuring a book and lyrics by Brian Hargrove, with music by Barbara Anselmi, this crumbly meringue of a production would seem to be hoping to capitalize on the success of reality television shows about brides behaving badly, as well as cinematic laugh-fests like “Bridesmaids.” But this show, directed by the actor David Hyde Pierce and starring Tyne Daly and Harriet Harris as battling future mothers-in-law, also looks further back for inspiration. I mean way back, as in the 1920s, when a sappy little comedy called “Abie’s Irish Rose,” by Anne Nichols, became a runaway hit over the strenuous objections of the New York critics. -

Zagoren John Hila ∆∆ – Denotes Trustee Emeritus ∆ – Denotes Honorary Trustee From the Resident Artistic Director Earlier this season we presented Joe DiPietro’s powerful The Second Mrs. Wilson, a real life historical drama about two very fascinating and complicated people: Edith Galt Wilson and her husband, President Woodrow Wilson. The very enthusiastic response to that play was a testament to our audience’s desire Michael Mastro for new plays, the presentation of which is Resident Artistic Director a significant part of George Street’s mission. You’ll understand, then, how excited we are to be following up that production with our current offering, Nureyev’s Eyes. David Rush’s beautiful play is also about two very real people. However, the world in which his characters – international ballet star Rudolph Nureyev and painter Jamie Wyeth – find themselves is as far from the White House as you can get.
