Highlights, Our Dramaturg's Guide Next on our HANDLE WITH CARE TIGERS BE STILL THE ELEPHANT MAN stage: NOV. 19-DEC. 20 JAN. 21-FEB. 21 MARCH 17-APRIL 17 HIGHLIGHTS Ayelet (Roneet Aliza Rahamim) discovers a surprising connection with Josh (Max Tachis) in Handle With Care. Show photos taken by Susan Mah Photography. A companion guide to Handle With Care By Jason Odell Williams, with Hebrew by Charlotte Cohn Synopsis Magic can happen anywhere—can't it? In this comedy about love, nostalgia, cross-cultural communication, and the importance of GPS tracking devices, a young Israeli woman with little command of English and a young American man with little command of romance are brought together on Christmas Eve under the most bizarre circumstances. Is it chance or destiny? Or the perfect Jewish Christmas story? The cast of Handle With Care, from left: Ayelet (Roneet Aliza Rahamim), Josh (Max Tachis), Edna (Roberta J. Morris), and Terrence (Jeremy Ryan). Characters In his script, playwright Jason Odell Williams describes his characters this way: Ayelet: Female. Thirties. Israeli. Beautiful, lovely, but has lost her smile. Wounded by a break-up last year, but not quick to cry. Practical. Focused. Searching for more from life but afraid to admit it. Josh: Male. Thirties. American. Handsome. Has an innate charming-shy-funny way about him. Tends to talk quickly, words tumbling out when he’s nervous. Used to be an English Lit teacher at Virginia Tech, but quit after his wife died. Though wounded by his loss, he doesn’t like to dwell on the emotion and never becomes overly weepy when talking about her. Edna: Female. Mid- to late seventies. Israeli. Ayelet’s grandmother. Loves life. Loves to smile. A ball of vitality, vigor, and energy. Terrence: Male. Thirties. American. Virginia accent. Works as a delivery guy for DHX. Kind of a screw-up, but very well- meaning. Not an idiot, just not worldly. A solid good-guy. Funny without meaning to be. Roneet Aliza Rahamim and Jeremy Ryan in Handle With Care. The creators and backstory of Handle With Care Handle With Care didn't start out as a holiday play. In fact, it was first performed in July. The comedy had its world premiere at the Kitchen Theatre Company in Ithaca, New York, in 2011, right in the middle of the summer. (Originally, it was called At a Loss, which makes sense considering that the characters of Ayelet and Josh meet because a delivery service has lost an important—crucially important—item.) At the time of the Ithaca premiere, the writers had no idea that the romantic comedy Handle With Care would become a popular alternative holiday offering for theaters who were tired of the usual scripts. Their goal was to tell a story about communication and human connection. For playwright Jason Odell Williams, who had started out as an actor, Handle With Care was his first full-length play. He specifically created Ayelet as a role for his wife, Charlotte Cohn. Charlotte recalls that when Jason asked her what kind of part she dreamed of playing, she said, "I'd like to not be able to speak at all, or to be misunderstood.” Why? Charlotte has always been fascinated with language, especially since she speaks more than one. A native of Denmark, she grew up in Israel, and the couple now lives in New York with their daughter, Imogen. Charlotte’s experienced many a culture clash and language barrier. "When they get in the way, how do people communicate?" she says. "What do human beings use in order to communicate with each other when language is not there to serve them?” Jason Odell Williams. After Jason finished Handle With Care, Charlotte came in to write Ayelet’s Hebrew lines. They found the experience so rewarding that they continued collaborating as writers. In November 2015, they premiered a new play they had written together, Someone Else, at the North Carolina Stage Company. Charlotte starred in this story of a marriage hitting some unusual mid-life bumps. Being collaborators as well as spouses has worked surprisingly well, Jason said. "When you're with somebody else, you've always got to be careful with your words," he said, but with his spouse "there's no ego. It's just about 'make it better, make it cleaner, make it funnier, make it sharper.’" Handle With Care has now been performed in 19 regional theaters, including a Charlotte Cohn. much-praised 2013 production Off-Broadway. The New York Times chose the production as a critics' pic, calling it "hilarious and heartwarming." While playing Ayelet, Charlotte had the thrill of performing with Carol Lawrence as Edna. A Broadway veteran, Carol was the original Maria in West Side Story. "She was so much fun," Charlotte recalls. "I almost started a blog with all the stories she would tell me at half-hour before the play every day. I heard every story about West Side Story and what that was like. We even had a night where we did a sort of reunion of all the surviving West Side Story cast members.” That night, when Charlotte performed in Handle With Care, she got one of the thrills of her life: Chita Rivera gave her a standing ovation. "I couldn't believe it," Charlotte said, laughing. "If you had told me, when I was a little Orthodox Jewish girl growing up in Jerusalem, that one day this would be my life, that Chita Rivera would give me a standing ovation while I'm on stage with Carol Lawrence, I would be like, 'Nope, you are incorrect.' It was pretty incredible." Jason Odell Williams and Charlotte Cohn spoke with City Lights' Rebecca Wallace via the magic of conference calls: he was in New York and she was in Asheville, North Carolina. The couple met in grad school for acting before Jason pursued a career in writing, which has included his novel Personal Statement and writing and producing for the National Geographic TV series Brain Games. Charlotte’s long performing career has included La Boheme and Coram Boy on Broadway, and Happy End at A.C.T. in San Francisco. To hear the full interview, go to bit.ly/hwc_podcast. A moment with Carol Lawrence Here we must pause to pay tribute to the great Carol Lawrence, singer, dancer, autobiographer, cookbook author, television guest star and thespian extraordinaire. Besides originating the role of Maria in West Side Story in 1957 and earning a Tony Award nomination, she has performed in many other Broadway shows, including I Do! I Do! and Kiss of the Spider Woman. She’s also starred in productions around the country, including Funny Girl, Mame, Sweet Charity, Camelot and Follies. Were you watching General Hospital in 1992-93? She was playing the matriarch Angela Eckart. Carol has also guested on such TV shows as Rawhide, The Fugitive, Hawaii 5-0, Saved by the Bell, Murder She Wrote and Sex and the City. In addition, Carol wrote the cookbook I Remember Pasta and hosted Chef du Jour on the Food Network, along with publishing her autobiography. She drew on her Italian heritage, mixing culinary advice with warm remembrances. In 2013, when she starred as Edna in Handle With Care, she delighted audiences once more. They included New York Times reviewer Anita Gates, who wrote in an enthusiastic review: “A remarkable 56 years after her star-making Broadway role as Maria in “West Side Story,” she still has the cheekbones, the smile and the eager charm. And we cherish her character’s belief in true love.” Pictured: Above left: Carol Lawrence in a scene from General Electric Theater, an anthology television series that ran from 1953 to 1962.

The other real-life couple behind this rom-com Love is in the air! Not only was Handle With Care written by a real-life couple, the City Lights production stars one, too. Our Ayelet and Josh may meet cute on stage, but actors Roneet Aliza Rahamim and Max Tachis are already a pair. They’re also both longtime actors and regular members of the City Lights family. Needless to say, director Kit Wilder and the rest of the team were thrilled when they both accepted the roles. For Roneet, who grew up speaking Hebrew, Handle With Care gives her a rare opportunity to use both languages on stage. It’s a different kind of artistic stretch from an earlier holiday-show role at City Lights; in 2013’s Coney Island Christmas, she played a 12-year-old Jewish girl, though she was 28 at the time. “When you play certain characters, it’s more about finding that posture, the way they walk that gets you into the character,” she told a reporter from the Jewish news weekly j. Back at City Lights in 2014, Roneet took on the role of the strong, good-humored Constanze, Mozart’s wife, in Amadeus. As luck would have it, Max was in the show, too, playing Venticelli 2. In fact, this is where they met. (We take full credit.) “We met at auditions and got to know each other over the rehearsals and the run, and the rest is history,” Roneet said. Roneet and Max are comfortable in both comedy and drama, and Max in particular has gotten to show both kinds of chops at City Lights lately. Over the last two seasons, he’s played: a Victorian solicitor / serial killer in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a video-game developer in Build, a World War I soldier in Truce: A Christmas Wish from the Great War, and a neurotic young Frenchman in Art.

    Kert, Larry (1930-1991) Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence performing on by Craig Kaczorowski the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Film still from a YouTube video. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The gay actor and singer Larry Kert originated the lead romantic role of Tony in the landmark 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story. With his expressive, vibrant tenor, he introduced some of the most memorable songs in the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim score, including "Maria," "Tonight," and "Something's Coming." In 1970, Kert triumphed again on Broadway in another Sondheim musical, Company, as Robert, a New York bachelor observing the strains and tensions in the marriages of his best friends, as well as struggling to commit emotionally to each of his three girlfriends. Other Broadway shows involving Kert were unfortunately short-lived, and his later career was devoted mainly to cabaret, television, and regional theater. He was born Frederick Lawrence Kert in Los Angeles, California on December 5, 1930 into a comfortably middle-class family. His father was a jeweler and his mother an actress. He had a brother, Morton, and two sisters, Evelyn and the singer later known as Anita Ellis. He initially attended Hollywood High School but transferred to the Hollywood Professional School in Los Angeles. While still in school, Kert performed as an extra and stunt double in several movies, including Lassie Come Home (1943), where he was a stand-in for the film's star Roddy McDowell. After graduation, Kert took some classes at Los Angeles City College but soon dropped out and moved to New York City where he studied with the celebrated acting teacher Sanford Meisner.

  • West Side Story” (Original Cast Recording) (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Robert L
    “West Side Story” (Original cast recording) (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Robert L. McLaughlin (guest essay)* Original “West Side Story” cast members at recording session (from left: Elizabeth Taylor, Carmen Gutierrez, Marilyn Cooper, Carol Lawrence) “West Side Story” is among the best and most important of Broadway musicals. It was both a culmination of the Rodgers and Hammerstein integrated musical, bringing together music, dance, language and design in service of a powerful narrative, and an arrow pointing toward the future, creating new possibilities for what a musical can be and how it can work. Its cast recording preserves its score and the original performances. “West Side Story’s” journey to theater immortality was not easy. The show’s origins came in the late 1940s when director/choreographer Jerome Robbins, composer Leonard Bernstein, and playwright Arthur Laurents imagined an updated retelling of “Romeo and Juliet,” with the star- crossed lovers thwarted by their contentious Catholic and Jewish families. After some work, the men decided that such a musical would evoke “Abie’s Irish Rose” more than Shakespeare and so they set the project aside. A few years later, however, Bernstein and Laurents were struck by news reports of gang violence in New York and, with Robbins, reconceived the piece as a story of two lovers set against Caucasian and Puerto Rican gang warfare. The musical’s “Prologue” establishes the rivalry between the Jets, a gang of white teens, children mostly of immigrant parents and claimants of a block of turf on New York City’s west side, and the Sharks, a gang of Puerto Rican teens, recently come to the city and, as the play begins, finally numerous enough to challenge the Jets’ dominion.

  • East Side West Side
    WRITINGS OF JOHN MAUCERI JOHNMAUCERI.COM Prologue to Mr. Mauceri's book, "Celebrating West Side East Side, West Side – Story" published by the University of North Carolina School of the Arts 50 Years On How can one measure West Side Story? Do we compare it to the other Broadway shows of 1957? Do we value it because of its influence on music theater? Can we speak of it in terms of other musical versions of Romeo and Juliet? Do we quantify it in terms of the social history of its time? And, most of all, fifty years after its opening night on Broadway, does it mean something important to us today? The answer to all those questions is yes, of course. The fiftieth anniversary of a work of performing art is most telling and significant. That is because after a half century the work has passed out of its contemporary phase and is either becoming a classic or has been forgotten altogether. Fifty years on, members of the original creative team are generally still able to pass on what they experienced once upon a time, and yet, for many, it is an opportunity to experience and judge it for the very first time. Rereading an original Playbill magazine from the week of February 3, 1958 (I was twelve years old when I saw the show), is indeed a cause for multiple surprises and discoveries. Consider the musicals playing on Broadway that week: Bells are Ringing, about a telephone operator; Jamaica, a new Harold Arlen musical with Lena Horne; Li’l Abner, based on a popular comic strip; My Fair Lady with Julie Andrews, New Girl in Town, based on O’Neil’s Anna Christie; Tony Randall starring in Oh, Captain!, based on the Alec Guinness film The Captain’s Paradise; The Music Man with Robert Preston and Barbara Cook.
