Since 2001 it has been located on West 40th Street, where it provides a variety of services to the actors, directors, producers, and other theatre professionals who work both on and off Broadway. Many of its employees THE PLAYERS are young performers, and a number of them take part in 16 Gramercy Park South events at the Shop’s lovely black-box auditorium. In 2011 Manhattan the store was recognized by a Tony Award for Excellence RECEPTION 6:30, PANEL 7:00 in the Theatre . Not surprisingly, its beneficiaries (among them Admission Free playwrights Eric Bogosian, Moises Kaufman, Lin-Manuel Reservations Requested Miranda, Lynn Nottage, and Theresa Rebeck), have responded with alarm to reports that high rents may force the Shop to relocate or close. Sharing that concern, we joined The Players and such notables as actors Jim Dale, Jeffrey Hardy, and Peter Maloney, and writer Adam Gopnik to rally support for a cultural treasure. DAKIN MATTHEWS ♦ Monday, January 28 We look forward to a special evening with DAKIN MATTHEWS, a versatile artist who is now appearing in Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed Broadway dramatization of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Conference chairs Jane Ann Crum and Brian Quirt have invited special guests that provide innovative models of creative dramaturgy: (in order of appearance) Moisés Kaufman, Paul Lazar, Annie-B Parson, and Anne Cattaneo.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting The
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal September 22, 2016 The President. Thank you! Everybody, please have a seat, have a seat. Thank you so much. Everybody, please sit down. I can tell this is a rowdy crowd. Sit down. [Laughter] Welcome to the White House, everybody. Now, throughout my time here, Michelle and I have tried to make it a priority to promote the arts and the humanities, especially for our young people, and it's because we believe that the arts and the humanities are, in many ways, reflective of our national soul. They're central to who we are as Americans: dreamers and storytellers and innovators and visionaries. They're what helps us make sense of the past, the good and the bad. They're how we chart a course for the future while leaving something of ourselves for the next generation to learn from. And we are here today to honor the very best of their fields, creators who give every piece of themselves to their craft. As Mel Brooks once said—[laughter]—to her—to his writers on "Blazing Saddles," which is a great film: "Write anything you want, because we'll never be heard from again. We will all be arrested for this movie." [Laughter] Now, to be fair, Mel also said, a little more eloquently, that "every human being has hundreds of separate people living inside his skin. And the talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to other characters living within him." And that, I think, is what the arts and the humanities do.

  • San Francisco's Historic Club Fugazi to Reopen Fall 2021
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kevin Kopjak | Prismatic Communications | [email protected] “Sets the benchmark of modern circus” —The London Evening Standard “A whole new kind of awe-inspiring theatre” —NBC SAN FRANCISCO’S HISTORIC CLUB FUGAZI TO REOPEN FALL 2021 THE 7 FINGERS, THE WORLD-RENOWNED CIRCUS AND ARTS COLLECTIVE, TO CREATE AN ONLY-IN-SAN-FRANCISCO INTIMATE AND IMMERSIVE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE SAN FRANCISCO (May 19, 2021)—Today, internationally recognized arts leader David Dower announced the launch of Club Fugazi Experiences, a new arts and culture venture conceived and created by a team of celebrated and award-winning producers. Under this new venture, Club Fugazi—the former home of Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon—will become the site of a brand-new theatrical experience from the world-renowned circus and arts collective, The 7 Fingers. The intimate and immersive resident production, created by Bay Area natives and The 7 Fingers co-founders Gypsy Snider and Shana Carroll, will serve as a love letter to the City by the Bay. Performances of the new production will begin in Fall 2021. Tickets will go on-sale in late June 2021. Additional details, including upcoming arts initiatives and events from Club Fugazi Experiences, will be announced at a later date. For more information and to sign-up for email updates, visit www.clubfugazisf.com. "This project is a labor of love for all involved,” said Dower. “I launched my career in theater here in San Francisco. Gypsy and Shana are native San Franciscans. To have the opportunity to reanimate a venue with such a rich history, at the very moment we are coming out from under this long, dense cloud, is a powerful and energizing privilege for us.

  • Mainstream AIDS Theatre, the Media, and Gay Civil Rights
    Mainstream AIDS Theatre, the Media, and Gay Civil Rights This book demonstrates the political potential of mainstream theatre in the U.S. at the end of the twentieth century, tracing ideological change over time in the reception of U.S. mainstream plays taking HIV/AIDS as their topic from 1985 to 2000. This is the first study to combine the top- ics of the politics of performance, LGBT theatre, and mainstream theatre’s political potential, a juxtaposition that shows how radical ideas become mainstream, that is, how the dominant ideology changes. Using materialist semiotics and extensive archival research, Juntunen delineates the cultural history of four pivotal productions from that period—Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart (1985), Tony Kushner’s Angels in America (1992), Jonathan Larson’s Rent (1996), and Moises Kaufman’s The Laramie Project (2000). Examining the connection of AIDS, mainstream theatre, and the media reveals key systems at work in ideological change over time during a deadly epidemic whose effects changed the nation forever. Employing media the- ory alongside nationalism studies and utilizing dozens of reviews for each case study, the volume demonstrates that reviews are valuable evidence of how a production was hailed by society’s ideological gatekeepers. Mixing this new use of reviews alongside textual analysis and material study—such as the theaters’ locations, architectures, merchandise, program notes, and advertising—creates an uncommonly rich description of these productions and their ideological effects. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of theatre, politics, media studies, queer theory, and U.S. history, and to those with an interest in gay civil rights, one of the most successful social movements of the late twentieth century.

Further Reading Note: These notes are designed to provide a context for viewing a performance of The Laramie Project . The articles and questions and activities are designed to give an insight into the play’s beginnings; the play’s context within the Matthew Shepard murder; and the play as a theatrical work. Rather than being an analysis of the text, these notes are aimed at providing information which will lead to an exploration of the issues, process and ideas which form The Laramie Project . 1 1. Company B Belvoir The originality and energy of Company B Belvoir productions arose out of the unique action taken to save the Nimrod Theater building from demolition in 1984. Rather than lose a performance space in inner city Sydney, more than 600 arts, entertainment and media professionals formed a syndicate to buy the building. The syndicate included nearly every successful person in Australian show business. Company B is one of Australia’s most prestigious theater companies. Under the artistic leadership of Neil Armfield, the company performs in major arts centers and festivals both nationally and internationally and from its home, Belvoir St Theater in Surry Hills, Sydney.
