  • RUNAWAYS Music, Lyrics, Book by Elizabeth Swados
    RUNAWAYS music, lyrics, book by Elizabeth Swados STUDY GUIDE compiled by Shaila Schmidt Content Warning: This play contains explicit language and themes, including child abuse and sexual assault. ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT Elizabeth Swados Writer. Novelist. Composer. Performer. Screenwriter. Director. Born in Buffalo, New York in 1951, Swados had an eye on working with young people and focusing on the pressing social issues of her time. She transformed the stage into a platform for political change and was devoted to breaking down the elitist subject matter that permeated musical theater. “Broadway is a museum that’s not moving forward, and musical theater should reflect what and how we are now.” - Liz Swados, 1991 New York Times interview Swados got her start in downtown theaters like La MaMa and The Public Theater. She wrote her first major musical, Runaways, in 1978, when she was only 27. It was a runaway hit, and came to life after Swados conducted interviews with groups of runaway and homeless youths. Swados prolific career after Runaways included writing dozens of musicals, three novels, seven children's books, one memoir, a collection of poetry as well as collaborating with several artists. She received five Tony nominations, three Obie Awards, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Ford Grant, a Helen Hayes Award, a Lila Acheson Wallace Grant, a PEN Citation, and among others. Elizabeth Swados’ music goes beyond conventional classification, combining elements of calypso, East Indian ragas, rock and roll, American Indian chants, ragtime, disco, Japanese theatre music, cabaret, and even birdcalls. Her first major success came with Nightclub Cantata, a theater revue based on text by major poets, including Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda, Isabella Leitner, Muriel Rukeyser, and Nazim Hikmet.

  • Anne Kauffman and Jeanine Tesori Named Co-Artistic Directors for 2018 Encores! Off-Center Season
    PRESS CONTACT: Joe Guttridge, Director, Communications [email protected] 212.763.1279 Anne Kauffman and Jeanine Tesori named Co-Artistic Directors for 2018 Encores! Off-Center season November 15, 2017/New York, NY—New York City Center President & CEO Arlene Shuler today announced Anne Kauffman and Jeanine Tesori as Co-Artistic Directors for the 2018 Encores! Off-Center season. “Encores! Off-Center began a new phase last summer under the direction of Michael Friedman, which was tragically cut short,” said Shuler. “We are fortunate to welcome two of his good friends and colleagues as guest co-artistic directors to lead us through this transitional year. Both Jeanine and Anne have connections to the Off-Center series. As founding artistic director, Jeanine served as a champion for the work of other artists for four seasons and we were delighted to welcome Anne to the Off-Center family last summer as the director of Assassins. It is always difficult to move on from such a loss, but as an institution it is essential that we continue the mission of Off-Center and bring these important works to a new audience.” Encores! Off-Center was founded in 2013 with the mission of presenting Off-Broadway musicals that pushed creative boundaries when they were first produced. Filtered through the lens of today’s artists, these shows are presented not as historical documents but as living, vital works that speak to audiences both new and old. The New York Times has called Encores! Off-Center “a summer theater highlight,” with past productions including Violet with Sutton Foster (which transferred to Broadway the following year); tick, tick…BOOM! with Lin-Manuel Miranda; A New Brain with Jonathan Groff; Little Shop of Horrors with Ellen Greene and Jake Gyllenhaal; Elizabeth Swados’s Runaways; and The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin with Nikki M.
