    By Lanford Wilson Directed by Kati Oltyan July 1 ~ 3, 2021 Lakewood, CO Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. About the Playwright Compiled by Jan Sutton Lanford Eugene Wilson (1937-2011) was born on April 13, 1937, in Lebanon Missouri, a town that he used as the setting for several of his plays, including the one you are seeing tonight. His parents divorced when he was 5 and he was raised by his mother and her second husband, a Missouri farmer. He attended college in Missouri and San Diego but left in 1957 to live in Chicago. He experimented with writing short stories but decided that his ideas might do better as plays so he attended play-writing classes through the University of Chicago Extension Program. In 1962 he moved to New York City where his plays were widely performed in Off-Off- Broadway theaters such as La MaMa Experimental Theater and Café Cino. In 1967, he received the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Playwright for The Rimers of Eldritch. In 1969 he co-founded the Circle Repertory Theater, an Off-Broadway theater that was his literary home for almost 30 years. The first play of his that was successfully performed there was The Hot l Baltimore in 1973, for which he received the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and the Obie Award for Best New American Play. In 1975, he received his second Obie for Playwriting for The Mound Builders, also performed at Circle Rep. Talley’s Folly is part of a trilogy of plays about the Talley family, all of which explore the effects of war on a family in Missouri.

  • Michael Warren Powellis
    WELCOME to the Fifteenth Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference. We at Prince William Sound Community College are very proud of this event, and hopefully by the end of the week you will see why. I started coming to Valdez (for the Conference) in 1995, its third year, and it became an annual pilgrimage for me. I quit jobs to make it here. I ran up credit cards. I did whatever it took for me to get to spend the week here. I crashed on the floor at the college, survived off the food at receptions, and worked on whatever anyone asked me to. No one was more important to me in those early years than Michael Warren Powell, the first coordinator of the Play Lab. I remember being in awe of how insightful the responding panel was critiquing plays that were all (in my opinion) pretty problematic. Michael and the other panelists became my idols. Which made it all the more important to me when one day I was hanging out with friends at the picnic tables in the middle of the park strip and we saw Michael walking our direction. He came up and engaged us in conversation, and we became friends. He let us know that he considered us his peers. In the late 90s, I decided that, of all the people I had met, there was no one whose life I wanted to emulate more than Michael’s. I made producing new work and nurturing playwrights my focus, and the answer to most of my questions can be found in the answer to the question “What would Michael do?” I am very excited to have him back with us this year.

    Directed by Timothy Busfield Written by Jeff Daniels Produced by Michael A. Alden, Timothy Busfield, Jeff Daniels, Melissa Gilbert Executive Produced by Donald Clark Grand River Productions, LLC RUNNING TIME: 75min Guest Artist Production Information Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Joseph Harris (Jeff Daniels), has not written a play in twenty years. Unable to unleash his voice in a way that he sees fit, Harris finds himself trapped in a no man’s land of artistic discontent with his only refuge in the bottom of a glass. When he is commissioned to write a play for a small-town theatre company, in a place he would rather not be in, Harris unwillingly emerges from his self-imposed exile. Upon Harris’ arrival at the local train station, he is met by an eager to please apprentice, Kenneth Waters (Thomas Macias). Not in the habit of being chaperoned, Harris demands to be booked on the next train back to New York. As Kenneth desperately tries to keep his gin-swigging hero from leaving, the two strike a deal that leads them to explore the tangled relationship between the dreams of youth and the wisdom of age. Grand River Productions presents Guest Artist. Jeff Daniels writes, produces and stars in the film, alongside Thomas Macias, Erika Slezak, Richard McWilliams, McKara Bechler, Ruth Crawford, Dan Johnson and Lynch R.Travis. It is directed as well as produced by Timothy Busfield. Also producing the film are Melissa Gilbert and Michael A. Alden. Donald Clark is the executive producer. The filmmaking team includes director of photography Willy Busfield, editor Alyssa Loveall and music by Ben Daniels.
