The play is booked into the Joseph Papp Public Theater in Manhattan after a world premiere at Yale Rep in January. Another Public Theater attraction, "The Swan" (the swan is a man as far as the audience can tell) by Elizabeth Egloff, is scheduled for Theater Works in Hartford. Theater Works's favored playwright is Lee Blessing whose new work called "Patient A" bumped the originally scheduled season opener, "Kiss of the Spider Woman," in its pre­ musical dramatic form. "Patient A" was commissioned by the family of Kimberly Bergalis, who died of AIDS. The concerns of Mr. Blessing, an issue­driven playwright who wrote "A Walk in the Woods," will also be heard at Square One Theater Company in Stratford where "Two Rooms," which is about an American hostage and his waiting wife, is to be seen in February.

  • Acting in the Academy
    Acting in the Academy There are over 150 BFA and MFA acting programs in the US today, nearly all of which claim to prepare students for theatre careers. Peter Zazzali contends that these curricula represent an ethos that is outdated and limited given today’s shrinking job market for stage actors. Acting in the Academy traces the history of actor training in universities to make the case for a move beyond standard courses in voice and speech, move- ment, or performance, to develop an entrepreneurial model that motivates and encourages students to create their own employment opportunities. This book answers questions such as: • How has the League of Professional Theatre Training Programs shaped actor training in the US? • How have training programs and the acting profession developed in relation to one another? • What impact have these developments had on American acting as an art form? Acting in the Academy calls for a reconceptualization of actor training in the US, and looks to newly empower students of performance with a fresh, original perspective on their professional development. Peter Zazzali is Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Kansas.

  • A Look at the Life and Legacy of Lucille Lortel by Leann Mullen

Lortel’s work as a producer helped establish Off-Broadway, introduced many playwrights to the American stage, and provided opportunities for theatre artists. However, her career has not been the focus of much theatre scholarship. Developed through archival research of Lortel’s collection in the New York Public Library, this thesis analyzes how Lortel’s time as an actress shaped her producing career, her navigation of the press’s sexist characterization of her work, and her unique status as a self-funded producer.

  • 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.
