There will be an intermission. There is no recording or photography allowed during the performance. A NOTE from the PLAYWRIGHT For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is preparation. -Rainer Maria Rilke The longest journey is the journey inwards. -Dag Hammarskjold My given name is Sharon Schlaerth (shlarth). In the delivery room, the nurse scolded my mother, “You can’t name a child Sharon Schlaerth.” My mom laughed and said, “She’ll be married by the time she’s eighteen.” That didn’t happen. Born of the ’60s, a feminist, I didn’t need a man to make me whole. I’ve always been fascinated by what goes on between men and women. The misunderstandings, the cruelties - often not meant but deeply felt, the kindnesses rebuffed, ignored, or magnified, the overwhelming desire to be seen, accepted, and loved by a creature so unlike oneself. How can such disparate beings create relationship and then how can that relationship possibly be sustained? It comes back to me. Acceptance of all that I am along with an acknowledgment that I don’t know, that I’m not sure, that I might be wrong, that I’m afraid and lonely and silly and dumb sometimes, and that it’s all fine. Acceptance of myself allows acceptance of the other. WAITING FOR GRACE is one woman’s journey through the treacherous terrain of intimate relationships. Ultimately a love story, the play tackles the sexual politics between men and women in all its absurdity as well as in its delicacies. Our protagonist discovers that what she wants may not be what she needs - no matter how desperate her desire. A NOTE from the DIRECTOR The artifice of womanhood is fascinating to most girls. We watch our mothers and older sisters get ready for nights out. We follow the ritual of making ourselves pretty for presentation. We get the obligatory compliments on clothing and hair styles. But, then we grow into actual women and find that being female can mean entering into a labyrinth of emotions and expectations. It can be a daunting thing to figure out which path is the right one for us. Where do we fit on the spectrum of femininity? And how does that reconcile our sense of feeling strong with our sense of feeling needy? How do we blend our lives with another’s and remain true to our own nature? Can we lose ourselves in love, and not lose our sense of who we are?

All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

Shubert, the Shubert organization was the dominant shaper of New York's theater district. Beginning as producers, the brothers expanded into the building of theaters as well, and eventually helped cover the blocks east and west of Broadway in Midtown with playhouses.

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.
