  • Ripe Frenzy Program (Download PDF)
    WELCOME Greenway Arts Alliance has been honored to serve thousands of students, artists and community members for the last twenty years. Did you know that you are on the campus of Fairfax High School in a building designed and constructed by Fairfax students as a “Social Hall” in the 1940’s? Based on articles in the school newspaper, the students were committed to building a home in which to “socialize.” Greenway continues this commit- ment through our mission to unite communities through our productions at the Greenway Court Theatre, which give our patrons the opportunity to share in the communal experience of live theatre. Jennifer Barclay's Ripe Frenzy, produced through the National New Play Network's Rolling World Premiere program, is the culminating production of Greenway's 20th Anniversary season. In it we showcase our recommitment to producing important new works that explore the pressing social issues of our time. As we write this letter in preparation for Opening Night, we do so with the knowledge that students, teachers and parents in Santa Fe, Texas, are mourning their friends and children lost in yet another school shooting. Since Columbine, we have watched in horror as 85 similar shootings have occurred, killing 223 people. As a theatre in residence on a high school campus, we say ENOUGH, and hope that this produc- tion will inspire our audiences to interrogate society's role in the proliferation of these events, and look for ways to work toward ending them. We regard Greenway Court Theatre as our home and are grateful that you are here.

  • Into the Heart of Screenland Culver City, California
    INTO THE HEART OF SCREENLAND CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA AN INEXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION OF URBAN CONTENT THE CENTER FOR LAND USE INTERPRETATION CENTER E FO H R T L A N N O I D T U A S T E RE INTERP THE HEART OF SCREENLAND “The Heart of Screenland” is the official city motto for Culver City, an incorporated city of 40,000 people in the midst of the megalopolis of Los Angeles. “All roads lead to Culver City,” its founder, Harry Culver, once said. All roads indeed. Culver built the city from scratch starting in 1913, selecting a location that was halfway between downtown Los Angeles and the beach community of Venice, at the crossroads of a now long-gone regional public trolley system. Culver City quickly became home to several movie studios, some of which disappeared, others which still dominate the scene. Hal Roach’s Laurel and Hardy comedies, shot on Main Street, captured the town in the 1920s, and Andy Griffith’s everytown of Mayberry was broadcast from the city’s backlots to screens across America. In the 1950s, the city modernized. Its original Main Street was upstaged by a new Culver Center shopping area, a few blocks west. The studios turned to television, and the 1950s became the 1960s. In the 1970s the studio backlots were filled in with housing and office parks, as homogenization flooded the Los Angeles basin, turning Culver CIty into part of the continuous urban suburb. In the 1990s, the city’s efforts to restore its identity and its downtown Into the Heart of Screenland: Culver City, California An Inexhaustive Investigation of Urban Content came together, beginning a rebirth of the Heart of Screenland.

  • The 2017 Remodel of LA Theater
    The 2017 remodel of LA theater laobserved.com/intell/2017/12/the_2017_remodel_of_la_theater.php By Don Shirley | December 23, 2017 9:09 AM If you see only one satire of musicals this month, "Something Rotten!" is the better choice. Photo by Jeremy Daniel. 2017 was a pivotal year for Los Angeles theater, but not because the quality was better or worse than usual. It's because of institutional changes. After two years of heated debate, new Actors' Equity rules finally took full effect in smaller theaters. Receiving far less attention were changes in the leadership of four of LA's larger nonprofit theater companies. Meanwhile, "Hamilton" - at the Pantages -- dominated the second half of the year, not only in terms of attendance, attention and profits but also in terms of innovation. In most of my previous year-end summaries, I briefly comment on my favorite shows, arranged in alphabetical order. I'm still mentioning most of my personal theatrical faves this year, but I'm weaving my references to them into the context of discussions about these larger changes. Because I've already written about most of my favorites in earlier columns (which are available here), I'm going to restrict longer mentions only to those few shows that were highlights but which didn't fit into earlier columns. 1/7 Also, for those readers who simply want some recommendations about what to see during the holidays, feel free to skip to the last section of the column. Let's start with our biggest nonprofit company, Center Theatre Group - the proprietor of the Ahmanson, Mark Taper Forum and Kirk Douglas Theatre.
