Young Playwrights Festival The 25TH ANNUAL YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS FESTIVAL 25 THE FUTURE OF THEATRE IS HERE Welcome to the 25th Anniversary of The Blank Theatre’s Young Playwrights Festival! Wow! Did I really just write that? In Hollywood, nothing stays relevant for 25 years! What did it take to keep this program alive, vital and growing for a quarter of a century? People - exceptional humans who volunteered to give a professional opportunity to the most talented young writers in the nation. Money – generous donors who have supported YPF over the years; from Foundations to individual donors who gave whatever they could, some even children themselves. Love – tons of love, from artists and audiences alike. When you see a play that stirs you, then see the 15-year-old who wrote it, you can’t help but fall in love. And most of all, it took exceptionally talented young people who were brave enough to write a play and submit it to YPF. They are all my heroes, whether they won or not. In 25 years, we have produced 296 plays from 33 states by 166 young women and 142 young men (some plays were by more than 1 writer). Our winning alumni have been honored with: Tony Award for “Best Play”; 3 Grammy Awards; LA Drama Critics Circle Award for “Outstanding New Play” (at age 25); Primus Prize for Playwrighting; 2 Pulitzer Prize Finalist designations; “Best Play”- NY Drama Critics Circle, Obie Awards, NY Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, Drama Desk; Ovation Award nomination (at age 19); NY Outer Critics Circle Gassner Playwriting Award nomination; and many others including Helen Hayes and San Diego Critics Circle nominations. I am grateful to have been a part of the massive community of the Young Playwrights Festival over 25 years. Thank you for your support today. Just by being here, you are making a dierence for the Future of Theatre.

Daniel Henning Founding Artistic Director, The Blank Theatre o for being here to help us celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Young Playwrights Festival – YPF. The AnBlank Anniversary Reunion Soiree Every year in June, we share with you amazing work from creative young minds. Each year, we are in Celebrating 25 Years of Young Playwrights awe of the depth and wealth of talent that submit their stories. This year we are especially proud of the June 4, 2017 work that commemorates this 25th year. It takes a village to produce this festival. I want to thank all the producers, mentors, crew, directors, Honoring writers, volunteers, cast, creatives, board, sta and anyone who touched any part of this process.

Again, thank you for being here and especially for supporting your local theater in LA. oeo Paulo Andres on behalf of The Blank Theatre Board of Directors o The AnBlank Anniversary Reunion Soiree Celebrating 25 Years of Young Playwrights June 4, 2017 Honoring April Webster & Austin Winsberg with the Future of Theatre Award oeo Brie ior o The Blank Theatre’s Young Playwrights Festival began in June of 1993 at the Lost Studio as one-night-only readings, with winning plays from Los Angeles. 25 years later, it has grown into a month- long festival of 12 plays professionally staged for full weekend runs, with submissions from all across the country. YPF is unique in the United States, perhaps the world. It is a professional playwriting competition for writers ages 9 to 19. Winning playwrights are provided careful mentoring and direction from industry professionals to help prepare their work for public performance and hone their skills, talent and condence. Nowhere else in the nation can young playwrights receive the prize of seeing their vision come to life in a professional production featuring known actors from lm, television and theatre. The Festival plays a critical role in training and supporting the next generation of theatre artists, many of whom have gone on to successful writing careers. These astounding young people are the Future of Theatre. We support their work today to ensure we have a generation of artists tomorrow. Stephen Karam, 3x YPF winner, won the 2016 Tony Award for “Best Play” for The Humans. He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize nalist and has won every major theatrical honor in New York City. Lauren Yee, 2x winner, won the 2017 Primus Prize. This coming season, her plays will be at Atlantic Theatre, Goodman Theatre, Denver Center, Seattle Rep, Kirk Douglas Theatre & South Coast Rep. Austin Winsberg, 5x winner, opened his musical First Date on Broadway. He was the writer for The Sound of Music Live! on NBC, and he created Jake in Progress, which made him the youngest Creator/Showrunner in ABC history. Aliza Goldstein, 4x winner, at age 25 was awarded the 2017 LA Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Outstanding New Play and the Ebell Prize for her rst full-length, A Singular They. Thanks to YPF, these exciting writers all made their professional debuts in Los Angeles. Along with 292 others over the years. And many of them now consider LA as home. The Blank Theatre’s Young Playwrights Festival brings attention to Brie ior o LA as an important creator of new artists and work, gives young people’s voices a chance to be heard in a professional setting, and gives audiences a glimpse into these young hearts and minds — as well as the thrill of seeing future Tony Award winning playwrights and Broadway librettists in their rst professional productions. We have also given opportunities to young, and at the time, emerging actors, many of whom have gone onto success in Hollywood: Academy Award Winner Octavia Spencer, Debra Messing (Will & Grace), Noah Wyle (Falling Skies, ER), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buy the Vampire Slayer), Tessa Thompson (The Avengers: Innity War), Katie Lowes, Bellamy Young (Scandal), Constance Zimmer (Unreal), Khary Payton (The Walking Dead), Alison Brie (Mad Men), Molly Shannon (SNL), Sherri Shepherd (The View), Mae Whitman (Parenthood), Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), Jeremy Sisto (Six Feet Under), Brianna Brown (new Dynasty), Todd Grinnell, Eric Nenninger (One Day at a Time), Abigail Spencer (Timeless), Angel Parker (The People vs. OJ Simpson), Michael Grant Terry (Bones), Lenny Jacobson (Frequency). Established working actors who could have spent their summer hiatus other ways but chose to support these remarkable young writers include: Chris Pine (Star Trek), Josh Radnor, Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother), Heather Morris, Max Adler (Glee), Dale Dickey (Winter’s Bone), Eliza Dushku, Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters, Amber Benson, Tom Lenk, Danny Strong (Buy the Vampire Slayer), Gale Harold, Scott Lowell (Queer as Folk), Matthew Moy (2 Broke Girls), Elaine Hendrix (Sex&Drugs&Rock& Roll), Tiani Thiessen (White Collar), Kat Foster (‘Til Death), Parvesh Cheena (Transformers: Rescue Bots), Jerry O’Connell (Jerry Maguire), Kristen Vangsness (Criminal Minds), Ariel Winter (Modern Family). Plus over 1500 other professional artists including mentors, directors, actors, producers and crew! We thank them all for their amazing work over 25 years! The Future of Theatre is here.

Dans sa demeure, les hommes vont se livrer à une autre guerre : celle de l’amour. Et notamment celle qui fait rage entre Béatrice et Bénédict, que leur entourage tente de réconcilier tout en essayant de déjouer les agissements malfaisants de Don Juan. William Shakespeare est probablement né le 23 avril 1564 et décédé le 23 avril 1616 à Stratford-upon-Avon. On fêtera en 2014 le 450ème anniversaire de sa naissance (www.shakespeareanniversary.org). Il est considéré comme l’un des plus grands dramaturges britanniques (16 tragédies, 12 comédies, 10 pièces historiques, 6 recueils de poèmes) et est l’auteur le plus adapté au cinéma. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que les réalisateurs aient pioché leur matière scénaristique dans cette mine d’or que représente le travail littéraire de Shakespeare.

  • Film Review: Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing: Whedon
    e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy Film Review: Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing: Whedon, Branagh, and the Anxiety of Influence Jessica Maerz University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona, USA [email protected] Long before he was the internationally famous head of a major Hollywood superhero franchise, Joss Whedon was a beloved writer/director of cult TV shows, boasting a dedicated following of fanatics who parsed his every quirky turn of phrase. In the 1990s, when Whedon was building his fanbase with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Kenneth Branagh was at the height of his dominance as a mainstream interpreter of screen Shakespeare, thanks to the series of adaptations that he inaugurated with 1989’s Henry V. While Shakespeare plays like Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth have received multiple big-screen adaptations, Much Ado About Nothing has received only two: Kenneth Branagh’s own in 1993, and Joss Whedon’s, exactly twenty years later. This essay examines Whedon’s adaptation through the lens of Branagh’s, noting the many conceptual, stylistic, and industrial similarities that unite them—for despite Whedon’s insistence that Branagh’s Much Ado did not provide him with an adaptational roadmap, the films demonstrate striking similarities in context and content that can’t be simply explained by their shared source text. Indeed, Whedon takes pains to distance his own version of Much Ado from Branagh’s. Whedon refers to the 1993 film only occasionally in interviews (and generally has to be prompted by his interviewers to mention it at all); clearly he prefers to avoid the issue of comparison.

    BEHIND THE BIG DESK: HOW NEWS PARODY RESTRUCTURED THE NETWORK LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW AND REINVENTED AN AMERICAN ART FORM A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Alexander Mitchell Washington, D.C. April 19, 2018 Copyright © 2018 Alexander Mitchell All rights reserved ii BEHIND THE BIG DESK: HOW NEWS PARODY RESTRUCTURED THE NETWORK LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW AND REINVENTED AN AMERICAN ART FORM Alexander Mitchell Thesis Adviser: Brian Hochman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT On June 16, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy bounded into Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Tonight Show host Jack Paar had invited Kennedy onto his program as the first presidential candidate to appear on late night television. Paar treated Kennedy with deference and worked to keep his program largely apolitical, focusing mostly on charming banter with the candidate and questions about his personal life. However, despite Paar’s best efforts, the press slammed him for being too political by even having a politician on his program. Fast- forward fifty-six years to 2016. In the exact same studio, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon conducts a similarly friendly interview with controversial presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Once again the host is widely attacked by the presses. But this time the criticism isn’t that Fallon was being too political, it was that he wasn’t being political enough. In this senior thesis I explore what changes occurred over this six-decade span to make Americans expect more from our late night talk show hosts.
