Director Terry Kinney Reconceives Indie Rock Band Other Lives Director Terry Kinney reconceives indie rock band Other Lives’ performance as a unique theatrical event— Reconfiguration: An Evening with Other Lives, Oct 9 & 10 at BAM Reconfiguration: An Evening with Other Lives Mix Tape Productions Conceived by Rebecca Habel and Terry Kinney Directed by Terry Kinney Set design by Frank McCullough Lighting design by Ben Stanton Projection design by Daniel Brodie Sound design by Drew Levy Original drawings by Matt Huynh Bloomberg Philanthropies is the Season Sponsor BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Oct 9 & 10 at 7:30pm Tickets start at $25 August 28, 2015/Brooklyn, NY—True to its title, Reconfiguration: An Evening with Other Lives reconceives the acclaimed rock band’s live show as an immersive theatrical experience helmed by Steppenwolf Theatre Company co-founder Terry Kinney in this world premiere collaborative work. Other Lives’ Jesse Tabish, Jonathon Mooney, Josh Onstott, Daniel Hart, and Danny Reisch will perform songs from their most recent album, Rituals, along with previous releases, while Kinney crafts an engrossing audio-visual narrative inspired by the band’s cinematic music. Reconfiguration features set design by Frank McCullough (Associate Scenic Designer: An American in Paris, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), lighting design by Ben Stanton (Fun Home, Sufjan Stevens), projection design by Daniel Brodie (Disney’s Aladdin, Bonnaroo festival), sound design by Drew Levy (Honeymoon in Vegas), and original drawings by Matt Huynh. Presented in a thematic, three-act structure, the production features scenic elements, animated illustrations, video, and multiple-surface projections. Director Terry Kinney said, "Other Lives is the flagship concert for our company for so many reasons—we wanted to work with a band that should be, but perhaps isn't, a household name yet. We wanted to create a large palette for them to work with, where they might otherwise be used to smaller venues. This is a band with a lush, evocative, full sound; their music is full of theater. Each of them plays multiple instruments and they loop together layers in a way that feels orchestral. Their music can build to a huge swell, or be as intimate as a voice and a piano. Other Lives created pictures in my head—we are simply trying to create those for our audience." Other Lives—from Portland, Oregon via Stillwater, Oklahoma—features members Jesse Tabish (piano, guitar, lead vocals), Jonathon Mooney (piano, violin, guitar, percussion, trumpet), Josh Onstott (bass, keys, percussion, guitar, backing vocals), Daniel Hart (violin, backing vocals, guitar), and Danny Reisch (drums, percussion). In addition to its latest album, Rituals, released in May (with a recently-released Dan Deacon re-mix of the track “Easy Way Out”), the band’s discography includes a 2009 self-titled album; 2011’s Tamer Animals; and an EP, Mind the Gap, released in 2012. The band opened for Bon Iver in the fall of 2011 and for Radiohead on the first leg of their North American tour in 2012. Later this fall, Other Lives will support Belle and Sebastian on European dates. Its lush, layered music has been heralded as “vividly cinematic” by Pitchfork and “uniquely sublime, meticulous, and heroic” by BBC Music. Terry Kinney is a co-founder of Steppenwolf Theatre Company. His directing credits there include The Violet Hour, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Clockwork Orange, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which moved to Broadway and won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. He is currently directing Steppenwolf’s world premiere production of East of Eden. New York directing credits include the world premiere of Checkers by Doug McGrath and Neil LaBute’s reasons to be pretty for MCC and Broadway, among others. As an actor he has appeared in films such as Last of the Mohicans and The Firm; television credits include the role of Tim McManus in the HBO prison drama Oz, as well as roles on Black Box and The Good Wife, among others. Kinney currently appears in the HBO mini-series Show Me a Hero and is filming the new Showtime series Billions. Mix Tape Productions was formed by Rebecca Habel and Terry Kinney to produce concerts that are directed and designed by theater artists in theater venues, bringing the visual and story elements of that discipline to the music—creating a new form and a new way to experience live music.

Theater has borrowed from the rock and pop music scene for a long time, mining lyrics for storyline, with the music as the engine. We were clear from the outset that our imagery would emanate from the movement of the music itself, ignoring lyrics for the most part.

  • Laurie Metcalf: I Think It Was the Glass Menagerie That Got Us a Bit of Our First Real Notice
    Laurie Metcalf: I think it was The Glass Menagerie that got us a bit of our first real notice. Richard Christiansen came up to see it, and he was like, “Hey, everybody in Chicago, you have to make the trek up to Highland Park and see this play!” That was our first little blip on Chicago’s radar. Terry Kinney: The Glass Menagerie was absolutely one of the smallest, most perfect miracles I’ve ever been involved in. The poetry of [Tennessee] Williams was not interrupted with concept, it was just served. Laura [played by Laurie Metcalf] wasn’t a romantic figure on any level. The selfishness of Tom [John Malkovich] was very much brought to the fore. I was playing the Gentleman Caller, and Laura would experience that moment where I say I have a girlfriend, then she walks to the Victrola. The audience weren’t just moved. They were devastated. It was part and parcel with that small black box space, but it was also this trust that we had that we could go that far and still be OK because somehow the other actors onstage will still be holding you up. Margie Marcus (founding board member, Steppenwolf Theatre): I was reading the Tribune one morning in August of ’79. And I saw that there was a play being done in Highland Park by a group I had never heard of. My daughter was 15 years old at the time, and she was taking drama classes in high school, so I said, “Miriam, you’re studying drama, there’s a play right here in Highland Park, let’s go see it.” Well [laughs]! I didn’t know what had happened to me when I walked out after seeing John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, and Terry Kinney in Glass Menagerie.

  • Message of John MALKOVICH, World Theatre Day 2012
    WORLD THEATRE DAY MESSAGE 2012 By John Malkovich International Message I'm honored to have been asked by the International Theatre Institute ITI at UNESCO to give this greeting commemorating the 50th anniversary of World Theatre Day. I will address my brief remarks to my fellow theatre workers, peers and comrades. May your work be compelling and original. May it be profound, touching, contemplative, and unique. May it help us to reflect on the question of what it means to be human, and may that reflection be blessed with heart, sincerity, candor, and grace. May you overcome adversity, censorship, poverty and nihilism, as many of you will most certainly be obliged to do. May you be blessed with the talent and rigor to teach us about the beating of the human heart in all its complexity, and the humility and curiosity to make it your life's work. And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, "how do we live?" Godspeed. - John Malkovich Michelle Pfeiffer and Glenn Close. After this role which marks a significant step in his career, he will act in more than 70 movies in the United States and abroad. Interpretating a wide range of roles, he has been nominated twice for the Oscar for best actor in a supporting role for Places in the Heart (1984) and In the line of fire (1993), and he has been awarded for his interpretations in movies such as the John Malkovich ©Christian Coigny Killing Fields, the Dangerous liaisons, Being Biography : US actor, producer, John Malkovich or Changeling.

Midtown may seem like a few blocks north, but it’s a world away for Midge and Susie. From Paris to the basement of B. Altman, from the Catskills to a nightclub in DC, Midge’s choice to pursue stand-up makes her more aware of the bubble she’s lived in and of the sexism she faces every day. Midge’s decisions have a ripple effect on all the people in her orbit: Abe and Rose question the life they lead; Joel grows up and becomes the man he always knew he could be; and Susie starts thinking about her future as a manager of talent.

  • For Immediate Release
    ‘BEFORE YOU SAY “I DO”’ PRODUCTION BIOS ZEV BRAUN (Co-Executive Producer) - Chicago-born Zev Braun has been a successful and honored filmmaker for over 30 years. In 1964, his production of “Goldstein” won the Prix de la Nouvelle Critique at the Cannes Film Festival. In 1974, his co-production of Maximilian Schell’s “The Pedestrian” won the Golden Globe Award as Best Foreign Film and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category. In 1986, Braun again teamed up with director Schell to co-produce “Marlene,” which earned him another Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature along with winning the New York Film Critics Award, The National Society of Film Critics Award and the National Board of Review Award. Braun’s all-consuming interest in filmmaking led him fresh from studying Humanities and Classic Arts at the University of Chicago to enter movies while still serving as President of Braun International, his family’s packaging firm. Some of Braun’s other productions include: “Angela,” starring Sophia Loren and John Huston; “Freedom Road,” starring Muhammad Ali and Kris Kristofferson; “The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu,” starring Peter Sellers; and “Where are the Children,” starring Jill Clayburgh and Frederick Forrest. The 1987-88 television season saw the company produce the TV movie “Stillwatch,” starring Lynda Carter and Angie Dickinson; a four-hour mini-series, “Murder Ordained,” starring JoBeth Williams, Keith Carradine and Terry Kinney; a two-hour NBC movie, “The Father Clements Story,” starring Louis Gossett, Jr., Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Carroll O’Connor (winner of the Christopher Award and CEBA Award).
