MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.’s “I HavE A DREAM” sPEECH Washington Mall, August 28, 1963. 1 From the ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. In her remarkable and fearless play, The Mountaintop, playwright Katori Hall takes us on an imagined journey through the final night in the life of Dr. King. Set in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in early April, 1968, on the eve of his assassination, Katori Hall engages in a brave re-imagining of the character of Dr. King. Seeing him as both an exhausted and all-too-human man struggling with events that are out of his control, and as the man of faith who wrestles with his God in a titanic battle of faith, The Mountaintop is a play of huge reach and ambition set in the sort of mundane room we take for granted and pass through every day. I am thrilled that ATC is again introducing the work of exciting American playwrights to Arizona. The Mountaintop is a play that took the world by surprise, but Ms. Hall is a playwright who has already given us several more plays of depth, intelligence, and gripping theatricality. Opening in a small fringe theatre in London, The Mountaintop won the Olivier Award for Best Play (Britain’s version of the Tony Award) and then went on to Broadway and many other productions around the world. It is always particularly inspiring for all of us at ATC when we can produce the work of provocative, acclaimed new American voices on our stages and have them create dialogue in the community, as with last season’s Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris, or the previous season’s Red by John Logan. I hope that you will findThe Mountaintop to be a play that not only keeps you enthralled in the theatre, but will give you something to chew over and discuss. The Mountaintop brings a constellation of ATC favorites back to collaborate with us. As you read their biographies in this program, I feel certain that you will agree that these artists have created some of the most memorable and impactful work that ATC has produced during my tenure as Artistic Director. Lou Bellamy, the director, is one of our favorites and a great man of the theatre. If you would like to get a more personal view of Lou, I invite you to view the report about him that was aired on NBC’s Rock Center and can be accessed at http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2011/12/26/9725509-on-the-road-with-director-lou-bellamy?lite At the stirring 50th Anniversary gatherings that marked Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech this past August, we were reminded of the history of that dream and about the ongoing pursuit of its ideals. In The Mountaintop, Katori Hall reminds us that for all the statues and monuments that honor Dr. King, he was a very real and complicated human being struggling like all of us to make sense of the next step in front of us as we journey through life.

  • Performance Measurement Report
    THEATER SUBDISTRICT COUNCIL, LDC Performance Measurement Report I. How efficiently or effectively has TSC been in making grants which serve to enhance the long- term viability of Broadway through the production of plays and small musicals? The TSC awards grants, among other purposes, to facilitate the production of plays and musicals. The current round, awarding over $2.16 million in grants for programs, which have or are expected to result in the production of plays or musicals, have been awarded to the following organizations: • Classical Theatre of Harlem $100,000 (2009) Evaluation: A TSC grant enabled the Classical Theatre of Harlem to produce Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe at the Harold Clurman Theatre on Theatre Row in Summer 2009. This critically acclaimed reworking of Moliere’s Tartuffe directed by Alfred Preisser and featuring Andre DeShields was an audience success. The play was part of the theater’s Project Classics initiative, designed to bring theater to an underserved and under-represented segment of the community. Marketing efforts successfully targeted audiences from north of 116th Street through deep discounts and other ticket offers. • Fractured Atlas $200,000 (2010) Evaluation: Fractured Atlas used TSC support for a three-part program to improve the efficiency of rehearsal and performance space options, gather useful workspace data, and increase the availability of affordable workspace for performing arts groups in the five boroughs. Software designers created a space reservation calendar and rental engine; software for an enhanced data-reporting template was written, and strategies to increase the use of nontraditional spaces for rehearsal and performance were developed. • Lark Play Development Center $160,000 (2010) Evaluation: Lark selected four New York playwrights from diverse backgrounds to participate in a new fellowship program: Joshua Allen, Thomas Bradshaw, Bekah Brunstetter, and Andrea Thome.

I went there to enlist her partic­ ipation in a health education program I was developing for a hospital in the community. She welcomed me with a warm smile and big, brown, twinkling eyes that illuminated her caramel­ colored face. With a gentle wave of her hand she offered me a seat on a couch in the living room and after adjusting her headtie, which matched her orange and red African dress, sat b.,side me. We talked like old friends, first about the numerous plaques decorating the Jiving room walls, then about the program, in which she readily agreed to participate. Needless to say I was delighted, but what made me even happier was her accepting me as a member of The Family which, for her, included everyone of African descent. For Alma Vessells John was the quintessential community mother who dedicated her life to serving her people, most of whom, she said, "are God-fearing, hardworking and upstanding citizens. And there isn't anything wrong with the other five percent that more love, more understanding and more opportunity wouldn't help." Sister John, as she insisted on being called, helped people. I remember those Saturday mornings when she would share a wealth of information with actors, students, entrepreneurs who came to her place seeking assistance in starting a career, developing a -- ~ business, or on locating grants to finance a college education.

  • In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT
    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. atpIssuel 4,aFall 1999 y In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT aggie Edson — the celebrated playwright who is so far Off- Broadway, she’s below the Mason-Dixon line — is performing a Mdaily ritual known as Wiggle Down. " Tapping my toe, just tapping my toe" she sings, to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain," before a crowd of kindergarteners at a downtown elementary school in Atlanta. "What a glorious feeling, I'm — nodding my head!" The kids gleefully tap their toes and nod themselves silly as they sing along. "Give yourselves a standing O!" Ms. Edson cries, when the song ends. Her charges scramble to their feet and clap their hands, sending their arms arcing overhead in a giant "O." This willowy 37-year-old woman with tousled brown hair and a big grin couldn't seem more different from Dr. Vivian Bearing, the brilliant, emotionally remote English professor who is the heroine of her play WIT — which has won such unanimous critical acclaim in its small Off- Broadway production. Vivian is a 50-year-old scholar who has devoted her life to the study of John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." When we meet her, she is dying of very placement of a comma crystallizing mysteries of life and death for ovarian cancer. Bald from chemotherapy, she makes her entrance clad Vivian and her audience. For this feat, one critic demanded that Ms. Edson in a hospital gown, dragging an IV pole.
