On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

    The Greek Theatre in the United States from the End of the 19th Century to the 21st Century Katerina Diakoumopoulou* RÉSUMÉ Cet article couvre l’activité théâtrale des immigrants Grecs aux Etats-Unis à partir de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Il souligne l’histoire de beaucoup de troupes de théâtre qui avaient fait leur apparition dans les communautés grecques d’Amerique à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et ont connu le succès jusqu’à un déclin marquant dans la seconde décennie du vingtième siècle, déclin précipité par l’enrôlement de beaucoup de jeunes immigrants Grecs dans les Guerres Balkaniques. Le développement théâtral impressionnant, qui s’en est suivi de 1920 à 1940, et après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, est examiné en mettant l’accent sur une variété d’aspects tels que les nombreuses troupes, d’amateurs et de professionnels et leurs répertoires, thèmes, tendances, problèmes, influences politiques, enjeux sociaux, etc., nécessaires pour comprendre le rôle et l’impact que le théâtre grec a eu jusqu’à nos jours. L’auteur note que l’on observe deux tendances particulières depuis la Seconde Guerre Mondiale: les auteurs dramatiques Américains Grecs composent leurs œuvres principalement en anglais et beaucoup d’Américains d’origine grecque de la seconde génération participent à des troupes de théâtre grecques, tandis qu’un nombre d’acteurs de la première génération ayant longtemps servi dans le théâtre sont devenus des professionnels. ABSTRACT This article covers the theatre activity of the Greek immigrants in the USA from the end of the nineteenth century until today.

And it is so bad, this film Where Greek Wedding offered a satirical take of old-world family ways as fond and familiar as it was stereotyped, My Life in Ruins offers roundly stereotyped caricatures of just about everybody, but without the fondness or familiarity.
