  • Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban
    June 4, 2010 Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban By STEVEN McELROY Joseph Papp first presented free Shakespeare performances in Central Park more than 50 years ago. Today, like heat advisories and smelly subway stations, Shakespeare among the elements is intrinsic to summer in the city. While Papp‟s legacy — the Public Theater presentations at the Delacorte in Central Park — is the best known of the productions, there are myriad offerings from smaller companies, and some of them are already under way. For some purveyors of outdoor theater, the appeal lies partly in one of Papp‟s original goals, to bring Shakespeare to the people. Hip to Hip Theater Company, for example, performs in parks in Queens. “To these people the Delacorte might as well be in Montana,” said Jason Marr, the artistic director. “It appeals to my political sense that we are doing something in the community and for the community.” Several artistic directors said that when admission was free and audiences could wander in and out as they pleased, they were more likely to sample Shakespeare or other classical plays, even if they were unfamiliar. “It brings people in who would not go to see Shakespeare, no matter what level of education,” said Ted Minos, the artistic director of the Inwood Shakespeare Festival. Such settings can also enrich the Shakespeare experience. “Many of the plays have natural outdoor themes because they were all performed outdoors originally, and that‟s something not to forget,” said Stephen Burdman, the artistic director of New York Classical Theater. “Shakespeare‟s language is so nature-oriented, whether he‟s going on and on about fishing, which he does, or we learn about the Forest of Arden” in “As You Like It.” “You hear the frogs croaking and the crickets chirping,” Mr.

  • The Whipping Man by Matthew Lopez
    News Release Virginia Repertory Theatre For Immediate Release Date: January 27, 2015 Contact: Susan Davenport Director of Communications Virginia Repertory Theatre [email protected] 804-513-8211 804-783-1688 Ext 1133 Virginia Rep Announces the Opening of The Whipping Man by Matthew Lopez Community Partners include the American Civil War Museum, Weinstein Jewish Community Center and Black History Museum and Cultural Center Richmond, VA – Virginia Repertory Theatre announces the opening of The Whipping Man, by Matthew Lopez at the Sara Belle and Neil November Theatre, 114 West Broad Street on Friday, February 13 with a preview on Thursday, February 12. The show runs through March 8, 2015. This production of The Whipping Man is part of the Acts of Faith Theatre Festival. Set in Richmond, Virginia, in April of 1865, The Whipping Man tells the story of a young rebel officer who returns to his home, only to find it in ruins and occupied by two suddenly freed household slaves. Untended wounds threaten their calm as they struggle to find common ground amidst the ashes of a fallen city. Artistic Director, Bruce Miller talked about the timing of this production. “Virginia Rep is proud to stage this production to commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. When I first spoke to the playwright several years ago, I knew we had to do this play, but I wanted it to coincide with the citywide celebrations. Not only does it give us a glimpse into some of the most important days in our country’s history, but it tells a unique story through the lens of a Jewish family.” Director Debra Clinton makes her directing debut at Virginia Rep and shares her thoughts on the show, “The Whipping Man is the story of our struggle to belong to a community: as people of Richmond, the South, and as people of faith.
