In the Wings: Miller’s All My Sons Arthur Miller’s All My Sons is one of the towering masterpieces of American theater and will be the Masquers’ fourth show of our 2012 season. The Pulitzer Prize winning drama won the Tony award for Best Direction (Elia Kazan) and a Special Tony award for the author. Based on a true story, it tells of ordinary people destroyed by lies and betrayal, with criticism of the American Dream lying at the heart of the play. Directed by Dennis Lickteig, we anticipate a wonderful opening, come late August.

Thank you for our first BATCC awards ever! Stage One, our three-week kids' theater workshop, is set for July 9-27. This year, we've added a writing component. The program will culminate in short pieces written, directed and produced by the kids themselves. Our own Suzan Lorraine heads the program and promises lots of hands-on activities. They’ll also take a break to produce and record a pre-written radio show. The age range is from 10-14. Tuition for the three-week course is $500. If you know a kid who should participate, contact Betsy Ringer; if you want to participate, contact Suzan Lorraine. Coming Sunday June 10: Love in the Time of Caller ID On June 10, 2012, at 7:00, Off the Page, the Masquers Playhouse ongoing series of readings of new plays by Bay Area playwrights, will present Love in the Time of Caller ID written by Rod McFadden, directed by Fellow Masquers Suzan Lorraine and Bill Chessman, and featuring Loretta Janca, Melissa Keith, Mark Holobetz, Claire Stevenson, and Kate Willet. Love in the Time of Caller ID is a classic comedy of mistaken identities, but updated for our time, when identities reside in hand held devices, and everyone is just one phone call away. When Dennis’ girlfriend, Julie, mistakenly takes his phone after a party, she finds a long list of women’s numbers stored in it. To divert her suspicion, Dennis convinces his friend, Vincent, to tell Julie that she has his phone. But the complications are just beginning as more phone exchanges occur, and everyone’s wireless wires get crossed. All Off the Page productions are free to Masquer Season Ticket Holders and Masquers Members. General admission is $5.00. There is no need to make reservations. 5 FUNDRAISING NEWS Bargains By The Boxful: Masquers Garage Sale 2012 Nineteen years ago, Santa Fe Market owners Bob and The group worked all day selling stuff, keeping things Marie Peckham came up with a Masquers’ fundraiser organized, selling maps of the participating homes, idea , which has become a historic tradition: a Point selling raffle tickets, etc. Of course we were aware of Richmond community-wide garage sale.

  • Desire and Homosexuality in the '90S Latino Theatre Maria Teresa
    SPRING 1999 87 Out of the Fringe: Desire and Homosexuality in the '90s Latino Theatre Maria Teresa Marrero The title of this essay refers to a collection of theatre and performance pieces written and performed between 1995 and 1998 by some of the most prolific Latino artists working in the late 20th century.l One the characteristics that marks them is the lack of overall homogeneity found among the pieces. Some, like Svich's Alchemy of Desire/Dead-Man's Blues (1997) and Fur (1995) by Migdalia Cruz, function within an internal terrain that the play itself constructs, making no allusions to identifiable, specific, geographic locations (be they Hispanic or Anglo). Theirs is a self-contained world set within what could be termed the deliberations of language, the psychological and the theatrical. Others, like Alfaro's Cuerpo politizado, (1997), Greetings from a Queer Señorita (1995) by Monica Palacios, Trash (1995) by Pedro Monge-Rafuls, Stuff! (1997) by Nao Bustamante and Coco Fusco, and Mexican Medea (1997) by Cherríe Moraga, clearly take a stance at the junction between the sexual, sexual preference, AIDS, postcolonial discourse and identity politics. While the collection of plays and performances also includes fine work by Oliver Mayer, Nilo Cruz and Naomi Iizuka, for the purpose of this essay I shall concentrate on the above mentioned pieces. The heterogeneous and transitory space of these texts is marked by a number of characteristics, the most prominent and innovative of which is the foregrounding of sexual identities that defy both Latino and Anglo cultural stereotypes. By contemplating the central role of the physical body and its multiplicity of desires/states, I posit this conjunction as the temporary space for the performance of theatrical, cultural, and gender expressions.
