A Note from The 2009 INKubator Summer Series Co-Curator When Sasha and Victoria asked me to curate The 2009 INKubator Summer Series with them developing new work by women writers, I knew there would be no shortage of fabulous material. Though less than a third of 441 Lexington Ave, PH new plays produced nationally are by women, anyone in the field of new play development knows that, scratch New York, NY 10017 the surface of the new writing scene, and you will find that many (dare I say most?) of the most exciting, adven- 212-682-0265 turous, and engaged plays are being written by women. www.wetproductions.org WET is a Resident Company at the DR2 Theatre As the plays started coming in -- from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Louisville, DC, as well as from Brooklyn, the West Village, and Midtown -- I found myself being drawn to plays that, in vastly different ways, WET Staff engage with the sense of a world order ending and another on the horizon.— this sense of a nation on the Executive Producer & Creative Director of WET......................Sasha Eden cusp...but of what?

Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.

Adjustable Wrench dates from 1987 and comes from a body of work that reflects an array of influences ranging from Bartók and Philip Glass to Chaka Khan and the Talking Heads. • Torke originally composed this piece for a chamber ensemble of 15 players divided into three groups, each comprised of four instruments paired with a keyboard instrument: woodwinds with piano, brass with marimba, and strings with a synthesizer. The composer however, adapted the score to make it suitable for an orchestra by allowing the string parts to be performed by multiple musicians.

  • The Morning Line
    THE MORNING LINE DATE: Monday, December 14, 2015 FROM: Melissa Cohen, Michelle Farabaugh PAGES: 14, including this page. C3 December 14, 2015 Public Theater Announces ‘Twelfth Night’ Musical By Andrew R. Chow The Public Theater’s popular Public Works program will return in the summer with a musical adaptation of “Twelfth Night,” created by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Shaina Taub. The Public Works program brings together professional and nonprofessional actors from across New York City’s five boroughs with song-and-dance productions of classic works. “The performers come together to create a vibrant theatrical tapestry; you may be able to tally the newcomers onstage, but in this embracing context they bring as much pleasure as the polished performers,” Charles Isherwood wrote in The New York Times about last season’s “The Odyssey.” This season will lead off with “Twelfth Night,” Shakespeare’s comedy of crossed signals which appeared in its nonmusical form at Shakespeare in the Park with Anne Hathaway in 2009. The Public Theater puts on Shakespeare in the Park. The music and lyrics for the musical will be written by Ms. Taub, who has ample experience in both the pop and Broadway worlds. Mr. Kwei-Armah, a British actor and the artistic director of Baltimore’s Center Stage, will direct. According to Ms. Taub, the production will be set in a port city during a carnival. While the spoken text will be in Shakespeare’s words, the songs will be in contemporary language. “It’s so amazing to start from a play that works so well, and just zoom out the emotional moments and turn them into big songs,” Ms.

  • Dear Evan Hansen - a Global Phenomenon and How Broadway Celebrates Its Millennial Audience
    Dear Evan Hansen - a global phenomenon and how Broadway celebrates its millennial audience Followed the world-renown Hamilton - the hip-hop-infused rap musical about the Founding Fathers of America, Dear Evan Hansen is the next star at the box office that tells the story of adolescent struggles in the age of social media. Before making its home in Toronto at the Royal Alexandra Theatre this March, Dear Evan Hansen has caused a stir as the Broadway production swept six out of its nine nominations at the Tony Awards. Grossing over $88 million, the show is in high demand, filling theaters every night with young audience members, who carry playbills, merchandise and wait eagerly for the show to start while softly singing Pasek and Paul’s widely-acclaimed score. Dusting off the classic look of Broadway musical theatre with jazz hands and extravagant dance numbers, Dear Evan Hansen is a breath of fresh air that joins in the new wave of popularity for contemporary musicals. The musical tells the universal story of a socially anxious teenager and the common struggles of growing up: isolation, loneliness, depression, and self-doubt. It also speaks to the pain of parental loss, as well as the grief parents feel when they fail to reach their children. With a simple set design and a small cast consisting of eight actors, the show’s story is told through catchy pop- and rock-infused tunes that take its audience on an emotional rollercoaster, making them laugh one moment and choke back tears seconds later. Its music is raw, real and as uplifting as it is heartbreaking, which effortlessly resonates with the audience.
