Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, said, “The Theatre Directors Retreat marks an expansion of our Theatre Program to support directors exclusively for the first time. It also grows from our long-held belief that engaging in a new context, environment and community can provide fresh perspectives for artists.” Philip Himberg, Artistic Director of the Sundance Institute Theatre Program, said, “We have long felt compelled to understand and support the specific needs of stage directors, and when our director alum, Anne Kaufman, came to us with many of the same concerns, we knew it was time to deepen our support in this area.” Maja Hoffmann of the LUMA Foundation said, “'The LUMA Foundation is supporting Sundance Institute to develop live theater and performance art.

    For Immediate Release: September 12, 2008 Contact: Kati Mitchell 617-496-2000 x8841 American Repertory Theatre in association with the Loeb Drama Center presents the world premiere of The Communist Dracula Pageant by Americans, for Americans with hallucinations, phosphorescence, and bears by Anne Washburn directed by Anne Kauffman October 18 — November 9 Zero Arrow Theatre Cambridge, Mass. — The American Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Anne Washburn’s The Communist Dracula Pageant directed by Anne Kauffman, at the A.R.T.’s Zero Arrow Theatre, corner of Arrow Street and Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge. The production begins performances on Saturday, October 18 and runs through Sunday, November 9; it will be available for press viewing from Wednesday, October 22. “History, peopled with our faces, is not our story. Do not hope to find yourself in history. Look for yourself only in the terrible recesses of your own heart.” — The Communist Dracula Pageant Anne Washburn is one of the most exciting new voices in the American theatre. Her plays are feasts of imagination, with vivid characters, storylines that veer off in surprising directions, a wry sense of comedy, and a playful love of language. The Communist Dracula Pageant is a spectacular example. Drawing from trial transcripts and from Romania’s rich folklore, Washburn dramatizes the final days of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu, the autocrats who ruled Romania from 1965-1989. This romp across Romanian myth and history exists in three time periods: 1989, when the Ceausescus’ dictatorship fell; 1976, when the dictators, at the height of their powers, commissioned kitschy pageants to celebrate the glory of the Romanian nation; and the fifteenth century, during the reign of Vlad Tepes, the historical Count Dracula.

    Contact: Becky Biegelsen PRESS RELEASE (858) 228-3094 | [email protected] LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES HUNDRED DAYS, THE BENGSONS’ “LUMINOUS MUSICAL MEMOIR,” AS FINAL PRODUCTION OF 2018/2019 SEASON RUN DATES SET FOR FULL SEASON SLATE La Jolla, CA – La Jolla Playhouse announces Hundred Days, book by The Bengsons and Sarah Gancher, music and lyrics by The Bengsons, directed by Anne Kauffman, and movement direction by Sonya Tayeh, as the final production of its 2018/2019 season, to run September 22 – October 21 in the Mandell Weiss Forum. Dubbed “a luminous musical memoir” and a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, Hundred Days is an exhilarating and heartrending autobiographical piece, written and performed by husband-and-wife team Abigail and Shaun Bengson, about embracing uncertainty, taking a leap, and loving as if you only had a hundred days to live. With their magnetic chemistry and unique musical style, the Bengsons explore the fundamental question of how to make the most of the time you have. “This deeply honest and life-affirming show is a terrific addition to the 2018/2109 season,” said Playhouse Artistic Director and 2017 Tony Award winner Christopher Ashley. “I’m always looking for vibrant and distinct new voices – as well as unique ways of storytelling – and the Bengsons speak to both these aims, culminating in a singular piece of theatre that defies genres. I can’t wait to share with our audiences.” Hundred Days joins the previously-announced 2018/2019 season productions of The Squirrels (June 5 – July 1), queens (July 3 – 29), Seize the King (August 21 – September 16), The Year to Come (December 4 – 30) and Diana (February 19 – March 31, 2019).
