Under the supervision of Artistic Director Philip Himberg and Producing Director Christopher Hibma, the initiatives are among the Theatre Program’s five annual Labs and Residencies for theatre artists and part of the 24 artist residency labs across many creative disciplines Sundance Institute offers annually. New this fall, the Playwrights Studio at Flying Point offers Theatre Program alumni an uninterrupted period of time and the space to work on their projects in a studio setting. The two one-week sessions each year are generously hosted by George and Joan Hornig. Himberg said, “These fall labs provide unique and inspiring locations for these new and established artists to develop and explore their stories. MASS MoCA allows the creators of these innovative musical theatre and ensemble-generated projects the time and space for collaboration and rehearsal, while the Playwrights Studio offers a home to our alumni who continue to grow and experiment and can take advantage of the retreat setting to focus solely on their work.” The artists selected for the fall session of Playwrights Studio at Flying Point in Water Mill, NY are: David Cale David’s solo shows include The History of Kisses, Palomino, A Likely Story, Lillian, Deep in a Dream of You, Smooch Music and The Redthroats.

    XML Template (2008) [21.11.2008–2:40pm] [88–93] {TANDF_REV}RIOC/RIOC_I_37_04/RIOC_A_355573.3d (RIOC) [Revised Proof] MARKET RULES US theatre now prefers to play it safe rather than risk controversy and alienate the mainstream, says playwright Christopher Shinn The question of self-censorship came to prominence in 2006, when New York Theatre Workshop, a major non-profit theatre widely viewed as politically progressive, cancelled a planned production of My Name is Rachel Corrie at the last minute. Weeks before the production was to travel from an acclaimed run in London at the Royal Court Theatre to the East Village for a stint at the Workshop, the theatre (depending on whom you believe) either postponed or cancelled the play. Jim Nicola, the artistic director of New York Theatre Workshop, told the Guardian: ‘In our pre-production planning and our talking around and listening in our communities in New York, what we heard was that after Ariel Sharon’s illness and the election of Hamas, we had a very edgy situation. We found that our plan to present a work of art would be seen as us taking a stand in a political conflict that we didn’t want to take.’ The theatre then made an unconvincing attempt to backtrack from this statement in the press – the production was delayed because the size of the set used in London would not fit into the Workshop’s space, the personnel didn’t have the proper visas to work in the US etc. There were other, only 88 XML Template (2008) [21.11.2008–2:40pm] [88–93] {TANDF_REV}RIOC/RIOC_I_37_04/RIOC_A_355573.3d (RIOC) [Revised Proof] MARKET RULES – CHRISTOPHER SHINN slightly more defensible rationalisations, including that the Workshop wanted more time to organise post-show discussions that would include voices seen as ‘pro-Israel’ to balance the perceived ‘pro-Palestinian’ bias of the play.

In this dissertation, I examined current models of new play development in the United States. Looking at Lincoln Center Theater and Signature Theatre, I considered major non-profit theatres that seek to create life-long connections to legendary playwrights. I studied new play development at a major regional theatre, Denver Center Theatre Company, and showed how the use of commissions contribute to its new play development program, the Colorado New Play Summit. I also examined a new model of play development that has arisen in recent years—the use of small black box theatres housed in large non-profit theatre institutions.

  • Teddy Ferrara by Christopher Shinn
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan November 21, 2013 [email protected] 212-609-5955 New from TCG Books: Teddy Ferrara by Christopher Shinn NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of Teddy Ferrara by Christopher Shinn, the author of the Pulitzer Prize-finalist, Dying City. This gripping new drama inspired by real events received its world premiere at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in winter 2013. “Chris Shinn explores politics and ethics without moralizing and finds justice and beauty in intimate life, keenly observed and rendered scrupulously, unapologetically, fearlessly… I admire his work enormously.” ― Tony Kushner When a campus tragedy makes national headlines, Gabe, a senior who runs the Queer Students Group, discovers that events surrounding the tragedy aren’t as straightforward as they seem. Inspired by the case of gay Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, who killed himself in 2010 after being harassed by his straight roommate, Teddy Ferrara is a searing new play about what happens when a tragedy sparks a movement – and the truth gets lost along the way. “Mr. Shinn is among the most provocative and probing of American playwrights today.” ― New York Times Christopher Shinn is the author of Four, Other People, The Coming World, What Didn’t Happen, On the Mountain, Where Do We Live (Obie Award for Playwriting), Dying City, Now or Later (Evening Standard Award for Best Play shortlist) and Picked. His work has been produced at the Royal Court Theatre, Lincoln Center Theater, Manhattan Theatre Club, Vineyard Theatre, Playwrights Horizons, South Coast Repertory and Soho Theatre, among others.

The adaptation, commissioned by the Armory and penned by Obie Award-winning and Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Christopher Shinn, is staged by famed British theater director Richard Jones, who returns to the Armory to helm this gripping moral parable following his critically acclaimed, eight-time Drama Desk–nominated production of The Hairy Ape at the Armory in 2017. With much of the narrative centered around an ill-fated train depot, Judgment Day and its vast set will take on special resonance in the 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall—reminiscent of the great nineteenth century train sheds of Europe, with its vaulted ceiling and raw industrial design. The production runs December 5, 2019 through January 11, 2020.
