  • Emma Wahl's Statement Regarding Her WEST Fellowship Project Two
    Emma Wahl’s Statement Regarding Her WEST Fellowship Project Two of my biggest passions are musical theater and helping people who are less fortunate than me. Over the years, I have been able to combine these interests by raising money for great causes like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Children’s Miracle Network, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Two years ago, I learned about another wonderful organization called Artists Striving To End Poverty (ASTEP), which provides creative arts and AIDS education for poverty- stricken children. ASTEP has “adopted” four locations to be recipients of its programming for poor children: India, South Africa, New York City and rural Florida. ASTEP sends professional actors to work with young people who have no access or exposure to arts education. Its mission is to engage and empower these children with the goal of increasing their self-esteem and making them self- sufficient. One of the ways that ASTEP raises funds for its programs is by producing concerts featuring performances by Broadway actors and actresses. With the incredible support of ASTEP founder Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Hathaway Brown School, where I am an eighth-grader, I have been working on a unique, two-year project to produce ASTEP’s first benefit concert in this part of the country, right here in Cleveland. This event, called “For Good,” will be held on Monday, April 13, 2009, in the Performing Arts Center at Cuyahoga Community College’s Eastern Campus in Highland Hills Village, Ohio. Mary-Mitchell Campbell is one of the busiest and most well-respected music directors on Broadway.

  • MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by George Furth Based on the Original Play by George S
    A publication of UPSTAGE SPOTLIGHT MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by George Furth Based on the original play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart Directed by Noah Brody Following its triumphant Into the Woods, Roundabout’s company in residence, Fiasco Theater, reimagines its next Stephen Sondheim creation. With Fiasco’s one-of-a-kind imagination, this audacious musical about a trio of showbiz friends who fall apart and come together over 20 years emerges as newly personal and passionate. Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls Fiasco “a force to reckon with in American theater.” Roundabout welcomes this ensemble back for this emotionally rich new production that confronts the pains and pleasures of fame, fortune, and old friends. A NOTE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR TODD HAIMES Merrily We Roll Along needs little introduction. Now a cult classic and one of Stephen Sondheim’s most beloved works, Merrily was widely considered Sondheim’s least successful musical when it debuted on Broadway in 1981. But with every subsequent revival, the show continued to grow and evolve, and this production, helmed by Roundabout’s company in residence, Fiasco Theater, represents a particularly special chapter in the lifespan of this musical. We have worked closely with Fiasco to develop their vision for the show over the past few years, and, in making some bold changes to the original Merrily script, Fiasco’s fearlessly inventive production has distilled the musical down to its core. Beneath Merrily’s lengthy history, Fiasco reminds us, beneath the years of reviews, revisions, and revivals, lies a quintessential story of friendship, the American Dream, and the tension between the two.

  • 1 YORICK's SKULL by Frank Gagliano (A Four-Day New York
    1 YORICK’S SKULL By Frank Gagliano (A Four-Day New York Odyssey: With Sondheim, Goldoni, Jacques Brel, Odets and Yorick’s Skull) (Part One) DAY TWO/Monday/12 June, 2006: —it turns out the skull was real. It was my second day in New York City. I was attending a run- through and fully performed workshop production of Carlo Goldoni’s classic farce, THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS. Stuart Vaughan and his wife Anne had written the new version and Stuart was directing it. It was being performed for one night only at The Players Club on Monday, June 12, 2006, at 7PM. My friend Ronald Rand was appearing in it and he had invited me to the event. I first met Ron at the 2005 Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Valdez, Alaska. There, Ron had performed his solo play, LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman’s Life of Passion—a fine piece and an uncanny performance that seemed to channel the essence of the late director, critic and founder of The Group Theatre—and that especially contacted Clurman’s passion about theatre and life. (In the founding days of The O’Neill Theatre Center, I would marvel at how Harold Clurman—when addressing all of us “emerging playwrights” in the sunken garden, under the magnificent beech tree in Waterford, Connecticut—would go from a calm zero to a fiery 60 in seconds; and one feared that Mr. Clurman, when in high gear, would start chewing off the bark of the beech tree, as he attacked the then current 2 flabbiness of American theatre, and as he challenged us to be “artists” in “this corrupt commercial world.”) Where, oh where, and in whom, is that Clurman passion today? Ronald Rand had Harold Clurman’s bark-chewing chops down to a T, as well as Clurman’s sensitivity, and a solid overview of The Group Theatre and where it fit into American and world theatre history.
