These free, one-day student workshops led by professional Bay Area actors, playwrights, directors, visual artists and photographers are often a next step up in a young person’s theatrical, literary or visual art career. Host- ed by the Foundation and supported by NPS and grants from the Dean and Margaret Lesher and Wood Family foundations, the workshops take place in the dramatic rolling hills of Tao House. Many thanks to the instructors who took part in Student Days for their dedication and enthusiasm in sharing their craft - Don Lacy, Amber Flame, Erin Edens, Evertis Wright and John Armitage, and kudos to all the students who participated, eager to challenge themselves in pursuit of their creative goals. Finally, our gratitude to the many volunteers who helped make this year’s event a success. “Today was really eye-opening for me. Thank you so much for dedicating your Saturday to better me as an actor and as a person. The enthusiasm and life you bring to the art of theater is so much fun to be a part of.” - Zach Lowhurst, student 2 THE EUGENE O’NEILL FOUNDATION, TAO HOUSE NEWSLETTER SPRING 2017 THREE NEW ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE TO VISIT TAO HOUSE THIS SUMMER Three new Artists in Residence have been selected recognized in professional and academic theatre com- for the 2017 Travis Bogard Residence Program at Tao munities as a major figure, though not a mainstream House, bringing with them an impressive breadth of commercial success. scholarship.

We are bringing in an historic Reservation Line (925) 838-0249 preservation crew from the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center in Maryland to do this work. The crew will work over the course of two weeks meticulously preserving and replacing the bricks on the porch, while rebuilding the supporting understructure. Once completed, it will look much like it did when Eugene O’Neill and his wife Carlotta built the house, but hopefully it will hold up better to the elements. We hope that you can come up to the site this year to experience a performance, tour the house, or just wander around the landscape where Eugene O’Neill gained inspiration to write his most powerful and in- fluential works. As one of the 417 National Park sites, it belongs to you, and I hope you can take some time in 2017 to enjoy it.

Locally, the Eugene O’Neill Foundation lost one of its pioneers with the passing of Carol Lea Jones on February 27, at the age of 83.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER October 12, 2006, 8:00 p.m. on PBS Lincoln Center's American Songbook presents Audra McDonald & Friends "A supremely gifted lyric soprano and actress." Those are the words of Stephen Holden writing in The New York Times about "Build a Bridge," the latest CD recording by Audra McDonald. At New York's Lincoln Center one of the most admired offerings is the series called "The American Songbook." On Thursday, October 12 Audra McDonald and The American Songbook will come together on the stage of the Allen Room at Lincoln Center's Rose Hall for an evening called "Audra McDonald and Friends." Front and center will be songs by American singers/songwriters. The cameras and microphones of Live From Lincoln Center will be on hand to bring the event directly into your homes. This may be a good time to emphasize the word "live" in our title: I have occasionally been asked when the programs of Live From Lincoln Center are taped. Except for last May's program, which consisted of a kaleidoscopic survey of highlights from our thirty seasons of programs, Live From Lincoln Center is absolutely LIVE at the moment of transmission (though some stations along the PBS Network chose to schedule the programs on a tape-delayed basis). Audra McDonald, raised in Fresno, California was born into a musical family. As a youngster she appeared in many local and regional theatrical productions, perhaps most notably as Aldonza in "Man of La Mancha." Coming to New York she enrolled at Lincoln Center's Juilliard School, and even as an undergraduate she won her first major role on Broadway as a replacement Ayah in "Secret Garden." The year after her 1993 graduation from Juilliard she was cast as Carrie Pepperidge in Nicholas Hytner's production of "Carousel." Never before had an African-American woman played the role, and her performance won for her her first Tony Award.

    MASTER & STUDENT: (left to right) Sierra Boggess & Tyne Daly in revival of Master Class on Broadway. Photo: Joan Marcus Theater Review Master Class: Tyne Daly's gutsy take on Maria Callas MASTER CLASS Book by Terrence McNally Directed by Stephen Wadsworth Through August 21, 2011 Manhattan Theatre Club at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre 261 West 47th Street, (212-239-6200) www.ManhattanTheatreClub.com By David NouNou Revivals are a great way of re-examining a theatrical piece and its durability, especially if the work is an award-winning play. I must admit that I am a sucker for revisiting seldom-revived plays, and Terrence McNally’s Master Class is no exception. It was the 1996 Tony-winning drama for Best Play, Best Actress, Zoe Caldwell, and Best Featured Actress, Audra McDonald. I know back then I was really rooting for it to win Best Play, and there was no contest in the Best Actress category. No one had a chance running against the legendary Ms. Caldwell, La Divina of the theatrical world. Seeing what Master Class was up against that year, I can understand the victory in 1996. (The other Best Play nominees were weak and, in some cases, big, pretentious bores). However, if it would have opened earlier this year, and qualified for the 2011 Tonys, other than Tyne Daly as Maria Callas for Best Actress, what else would it have been up for? This is not to say that Master Class is not still enjoyable, entertaining, and enthralling. In this version, it seems less of a play and more of an extended monologue.

  • Here, in Photographs by Lynn Horner Keith, Are Highlights of the Shakespeare Guild’S 1998 Gielgud Festivities
    Here, in photographs by Lynn Horner Keith, are highlights of the Shakespeare Guild’s 1998 Gielgud festivities. (1) During a prologue to the main event, NPR correspondent Susan Stamberg interviews the couple a New York Times profile dubbed “Mr. and Mrs. Broadway.” This engaging conversation took place against the backdrop of an Al Hirschfeld rendering of producer Robert Whitehead and his wife Zoe Caldwell, whom Mr. Whitehead had recently directed in a Tony-winning production of Terrence McNally’s Master Class. (2) Following the program, Susan and Louis Stamberg talk with Elaine Mead Murphy. (3) The following evening Sir Derek Jacobi, who had received his Gielgud Award the previous year, presents the 1998 Golden Quill to Ms. Caldwell. (4) A day later Ms. Caldwell addresses a live NPR audience during a lunch- eon gathering at the National Press Club. (5) Shifting back to the Folger ceremony, we see Ms. Caldwell as she revels in the accolades of gala presenters George Plimpton, Sir Derek Jacobi, host Robert MacNeil, pianist David Loud, and performer Audra McDonald. Mr. Loud and Ms. McDonald had been supporting members of the cast in Master Class, where Ms. McDonald earned the second of her record six Tony Awards. (6) Robert Whitehead and Zoe Caldwell bask in the company of three admirers: cartoonist and playwright Doug Marlette, publicist and Guild Advisory Council member Jan DuPlain, and Board member Barbara Hammerman. (7) Author George Plimpton enjoys a drink with NewsHour founders Jim Lehrer and Robert MacNeil. (8) The Guild’s Jan Denton and John Andrews compare notes with satirist Christopher Buckley.
