Drama Book Shop Became an Independent Store in 1923
SAVORING THE CLASSICAL TRADITION IN DRAMA ENGAGING PRESENTATIONS BY THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD I N P R O U D COLLABORATION WIT H THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB THE PLAYERS, NEW YORK CITY THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION SALUTING A UNIQUE INSTITUTION ♦ Monday, November 26 Founded in 1917 by the Drama League, the Drama Book Shop became an independent store in 1923. Since 2001 it has been located on West 40th Street, where it provides a variety of services to the actors, directors, producers, and other theatre professionals who work both on and off Broadway. Many of its employees THE PLAYERS are young performers, and a number of them take part in 16 Gramercy Park South events at the Shop’s lovely black-box auditorium. In 2011 Manhattan the store was recognized by a Tony Award for Excellence RECEPTION 6:30, PANEL 7:00 in the Theatre . Not surprisingly, its beneficiaries (among them Admission Free playwrights Eric Bogosian, Moises Kaufman, Lin-Manuel Reservations Requested Miranda, Lynn Nottage, and Theresa Rebeck), have responded with alarm to reports that high rents may force the Shop to relocate or close. Sharing that concern, we joined The Players and such notables as actors Jim Dale, Jeffrey Hardy, and Peter Maloney, and writer Adam Gopnik to rally support for a cultural treasure. DAKIN MATTHEWS ♦ Monday, January 28 We look forward to a special evening with DAKIN MATTHEWS, a versatile artist who is now appearing in Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed Broadway dramatization of To Kill a Mockingbird. In 2015 Dakin portrayed Churchill, opposite Helen Mirren’s Queen Elizabeth II, in the NATIONAL ARTS CLUB Broadway transfer of The Audience.

By Noah Haidle Directed by Anne Kauffman
OCTOBER 2013 SMOKEFALL BY NOAH HAIDLE DIRECTED BY ANNE KAUFFMAN ® 1 Imagining Smokefall: A Conversation with Noah Haidle By Tanya Palmer Noah Haidle’s latest play, Smokefall, examines life’s big questions through the prism of an ordinary Midwestern family. Inspired in equal parts by Thornton Wilder’s simple evocative humanity, Samuel Beckett’s bleak poetry and Haidle’s own wild theatrical imagination, it begins on an average morning as the family is getting ready for their day, and then telescopes in—and out—to look at both the minutia of daily life and the broader implications of choices made for the individual, the family and the community. Funny and painful, the play was first developed as part of the Goodman’s New Stages festival, and was subsequently featured in the prestigious Pacific Playwrights Festival at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, California, where it was produced this spring in a co-production with Goodman Theatre helmed by award-winning New York–based director Anne Kauffman. In a recent conversation with Tanya Palmer, the Goodman’s director of new play development, Haidle—whose work was last seen at the Goodman in 2006’s Vigils—spoke about the genesis of the play and where it fits into the trajectory of his own Noah Haidle burgeoning career as a playwright and screenwriter. Tanya Palmer: Can you talk a little bit about the origin and evolution of Smokefall? Noah Haidle: The director of Smokefall, Anne Kauffman, says the big question of this play is: is life worth living? Smokefall is an incredibly personal play and while I don’t feel comfortable having people understand the exact life circumstances, my circumstances, that inspired me to write a play about the meaning of existence, I can talk about it as a piece of writing.

AUTHOR Gentile, John S. TITLE the Performer As Writer. PUB DATE
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 289 192 CS 505 814 AUTHOR Gentile, John S. TITLE The Performer as Writer. PUB DATE 16 Nov 86 NOTE 12p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (72nd, Chicago, IL, November 13-16, 1986). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (120) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Acting; Audiences; *Authors; *Characterization; Creative Writing; *Creativity; Drama; Media Adaptaton; Monologs; *Oral Interpretation; Scripts; Theater Arts; Writing Processes IDENTIFIERS *Performer Writers; Speaking Writing Relationship ABSTRACT Most performer-writers accept the writing process simply as a means to an end: the shared performance event with a live audience. While writer-performers regard a script as more important than the performance, a solo performance is, however, a showcase of the artist's talent, and creating one's own text offers the performer artistic control. Some performers, such as Hal Holbrook and Emlyn Williams, adapt and reconstruct works by other writers into a new text. Lily Tomlin's collaboration with Jane Wagner recently produced the highly successful "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe." Monologist Ruth Draper performed purely oral performance texts for years (condensing, extending, or altering them according to the needs of a particular audience) before she finally wrote them sown late in her lifetime. In such places as Colonial Williamsburg or Disneyland, the employees assume the rule of fictional or historical characters, which is another way of combining writing with performing. Although considerable research is conducted for each character, the performers create their own dialogue through improvised interaction with each other and visiting tourists.

Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Sex Drugs Rock and Roll by Eric Bogosian Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Sex Drugs Rock and Roll by Eric Bogosian Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead. In his fifth, brashest solo show, Eric Bogosian again aims scorching social commentary at the contemporary urban and suburban scene. From subway panhandlers to barbecue-crazed millionaires, Bogosian reveals the hidden humor, fear, hypocrisy and rage of Americans - including, for the first time, "Eric Bogosian," a hyperaggressive standup comic. With this seductive element of self-revelation, he heightens the disturbing connections between his characters and, by extension, between us and the people we try not to see - and not to be - every day. One of America's premier performers and most innovative and provocative artists, Eric Bogosian's plays and solo work include suburbia (Lincoln Center Theater, 1994; adapted to film by director Richard Linklater, 1996); Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll , Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead ; Griller ; Humpty Dumpty ; 1+1 ; Skunkweed ; Wake Up and Smell the Coffee ; Drinking in America ; Notes from Underground and Talk Radio (Pulitzer Prize finalist; New York Shakespeare Festival, 1987; Broadway, 2007; adapted to film by director Oliver Stone, 1988). He has starred in a wide variety of film, TV and stage roles. Most recently, he created the character of Captain Danny Ross on the long-running series Law & Order: Criminal Intent . In 2014, TCG published 100 (monologues) , a collection that commemorates thirty years of Bogosian's solo- performance career. User Reviews. I have to admit that I've seen Bogosian in the theater a few times. The endearing thing about him is that the audience, by design, is never in step with him and is sometimes even the punchline.

A BRIEF HISTORY 1974-2020 a THESIS in Theatre Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansa
THE UNICORN THEATRE: A BRIEF HISTORY 1974-2020 A THESIS IN Theatre Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by SARAH JEAN HAYNES-HOHNE B.F.A., Missouri State University, 2013 Kansas City, Missouri 2020 © 2020 SARAH JEAN HAYNES-HOHNE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE UNICORN THEATRE: A BRIEF HISTORY 1974-2020 Sarah Jean Haynes-Hohne, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2020 ABSTRACT The Unicorn Theatre was originally founded under the name Theatre Workshop in 1974. It was a theatre company formed by three UMKC graduates, Jim Cairns, Rohn Dennis, and Liz Gordon who wanted to create an Off-Off-Broadway theatre in Kansas City. Their work focused on experimentation and using theatre as a political statement for social change. For years, the theatre operated as a community of people who wore many hats and performed many functions. In some ways, this still remains true. However, the theatre made a significant shift in its goals and future when they joined Actors’ Equity Association in 1984 shortly after Cynthia Levin was named Producing Artistic Director. The company has operated out of four different locations over the past 45+ years, but it has been in its current location at 3828 Main Street, Kansas City, MO since 1986. Many expansions and financial campaigns have contributed to the success of the theatre, which now houses two stages, The Levin Stage and The Jerome Stage. The Unicorn Theatre now operates under the vision of producing “Bold New Plays” and thrives on a mission that revolves around inclusion and diversity.
