First, the researcher identifies Pulitzer Prize-winning plays from 2000 until 2009, in order to locate elements of feminist ideas such as liberal feminism, cultural feminism and socialist feminism. Subsequently, the researcher analyses each selected feminist theory and how their ideas are incorporated in the themes and character and characterisation of the selected plays, where he later compares and contrast the influence of different feminist theories in the selected Pulitzer Prize winners in the new millennium. This is a qualitative research, where the researcher has conducted his research by studying the aspects of liberal feminism, cultural feminism and socialist feminism, as well as reading and comprehending the scripts of the case studies. The selected Pulitzer Prize winners in the ‘Drama’ category chosen by the researcher for this thesis are Proof by David Auburn, Doubt, A Parable by John Patrick Shanley, Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire and August: Osage County by Tracy Letts. It is found that cultural feminism has the biggest influence in these selected plays, followed by liberal feminism and socialist feminism.

    588 Sutter Street #318 San Francisco, CA 94102 415.677.9596 fax 415.677.9597 www.sfplayhouse.org PRESS RELEASE VENUE: 533 Sutter Street, @ Powell For immediate release Contact: Susi Damilano December, 2011 [email protected] Regional Premiere of BECKY SHAW By Gina Gionfreddo Directed by Amy Glazer January 24 th to March 10th PRESS OPENING: January 28th San Francisco, CA (December, 2011) – Gina Gionfreddo’s 2009 Pulitzer finalist, Becky Shaw will receive its regional premiere at the SF Playhouse (Bill English, Artistic Director; Susi Damilano, Producing Director) opening January 28 th (after previews that begin January 24 th ) through March 10 th . Artistic Director, Bill English says he was drawn to Becky Shaw “because it seemed like a wonderful 21st century twist on the drawing room comedy genre. If Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, or Frank Capra were writing today, aware of our much more complex and knotted relationships, they might have fashioned something like "Becky." The character Becky Shaw, like a time bomb with a slow fuse, is the nitro, thrown into the glycerin of a deeply co- dependent family. And the witty dialogue with zingers abounding is worthy of comparison to a Philadelphia Story or Private Lives .” Like the Victorian upstart Becky Sharp, this modern Becky is unsure, overdressed and socially ambitious. But watch out. She’s no shrinking violet, as the silkily cynical Max soon learns. From their first blind date, which includes an unscheduled visit to the police station, these 30-somethings, along with the newlyweds who set them up, surprise us—and themselves—in a comedy thriller The New York Times called “as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage!” This play asks what we owe the people we love the most and the strangers who land on our doorstep.

  • Aq-Rule4-10Z4 Precisely the Type of Scenario the Legislature Envisioned When the Administrative Procedures Act Was Adopted
    Jamie Long Attachment We, the 58 undersigned members of the Minnesota Legislature, offer the following comments in support of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Proposed Rules Adopting Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards—Clean Cars Minnesota, Minnesota Rules, chapter 7023. We appreciate the opportunity to comment in these proceedings and encourage adoption of the rules as necessary and reasonable, and commensurate with the public interest and Minnesota law. Clean Cars Minnesota has been the subject of significant public interest and discussion. As legislators, we have participated in robust ongoing dialogue regarding the merits of the proposed rules with our constituents, stakeholders, and each other. This careful and deliberate scrutiny has led us to the conclusion that the proposed rules will benefit Minnesotans and should be adopted. Statutory Authority and Legislative Intent As current members of the legislative branch, we are uniquely positioned to offer our perspective on the authority and responsibilities granted to the agency by the Legislature specific to vehicle emissions as well as the agency’s general rulemaking authority. The powers and responsibilities of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) are described in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 116. Of particular relevance to the proposed rules, Section 116.07, Subdivision 2, states “the agency shall also adopt standards of air quality, including maximum allowable standards of emission of air contaminants from motor vehicles…”. This provision demonstrates in very specific terms the Legislature’s intent that MPCA is expected to adopt standards of the exact type now proposed by the agency. This language was adopted in 1967, which means that the Minnesota House and Senate have had 54 regular sessions in which we could have reconsidered and agreed upon a repeal or amendment of this section of law.

TO HOLD AS T’WERE THE MIRROR UP TO HATE: TERRENCE MCNALLY’S RESPONSE TO THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT IN CORPUS CHRISTI by RICHARD KIMBERLY SISSON Under the direction of Matthew C. Roudané ABSTRACT In 1998, the Manhattan Theatre Club’s staging of Terrence McNally’s play Corpus Christi ignited protest and virulent condemnation from various religious and politically conservative groups which eventually led to the cancellation of the play’s production. This led to a barrage of criticism from the national theatre, gay, and civil rights communities and free speech advocates, including the ACLU and PEN, which issued a press releases about the cancellation that decried censorship and acquiescence by the theatre to neo-conservative religiously political groups.
