  • Alan Bennett's Prize-Winning Comedy Talking Heads Will Receive Its
    by BWW News Desk October 18, 2014 Alan Bennett's prize-winning comedy Talking Heads will receive its central Ohio premiere when APT launches its third professional touring production with three public performances beginning on November 13-21. Talking Heads will be performed at the BalletMet Performance Space in downtown Columbus on November 13, at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Clintonville on November 20 and at the Abbey Theater of Dublin on November 21st. All performances are at 8 pm. Linda Dorff plays "Violet," who at nearly one hundred years of age has lost some of her memory but none of her wicked sense of humor. Kerry Shanklin is "Irene," a lonely woman who writes one-too-many poison-pen letters. Anne Diehl is "Miss Fozzard," a prim, middle-aged department store saleswoman whose sore feet lead her into a rather unusual romance. All three are members of Actors Equity Association, the union of professional actors. Originally produced on the BBC in 1988 and 1998, Talking Heads is a series of twelve prize-winning dramatic monologues focusing on seemingly unremarkable people (mostly women) whose lives are nonetheless filled with tragedy, melodrama and especially comedy. Acclaimed by critics - and now included in the advanced high school curriculum in Britain - these mini-plays have become what one critic called "a British cult classic." Talking Heads was produced in the West End (the British equivalent of Broadway) in 1992 and 1998, and has been produced on professional stages all over the English-speaking world. An award-winning Off-Broadway production in 2003 ran for two hundred performances and several of the pieces have been seen on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre.

  • About the Production
    Alliance Communications presents a Redeemable Features Production a film by everyone who worked on it 94 Minutes Rated PG-13 A Redeemable Features Release Press Contact: Jeremy Walker Jeremy Walker Associates (212) 595-6161 Page 2 SYNOPSIS "All I Wanna Do" is a comedy about a closely-knit group of friends set at a traditional New England all-girls boarding school in 1963. But at its core, "All I Wanna Do" is also the story of young women who recognize their own value and potential when their all- female sanctuary becomes threatened by the specter of men. The film was written and directed by Sarah Kernochan, an established screenwriter making her feature directorial debut. For Odie (Gaby Hoffmann), a pretty but moody teenager, being sent to Miss Godard's Prep School for Girls midway through the year is a little bit like being sent to prison. Miss Godard's has all kinds of rules, and a lot is expected of the girls there. But Odie soon discovers that the girls at Miss Godard's also have a lot of fun, and most important, the school is something of a haven where girls can behave, well, just like girls since there are no boys in sight. After a tour of the campus guided by Abby (Rachael Leigh Cook), an uptight, brown- nosing "monitor" on the Self-Government Committee, Odie just wants to cry. But things start looking up when Odie meets her new roommates, Verena (Kirsten Dunst) and Tinka (Monica Keena). Verena is a schemer who likes to break the rules.

BroadwayWorld.com will be talking to nominees throughout the day so keep checking back! "Well I woke up to phone ringing and a friend leaving me a message singing into my machine. And then I went to breakfast with my daughter and told her about the nomination and she started screaming. This is a special show. It is not like any other show that has been on Broadway from what I know and different from any show I have been a part of in the past. I was hopeful people would "get it" and I think they did. We're a hard working cast and it's amazing to me that we can do as many shows as we do each week. Everyone pulls their weight and I expected us be noticed for the excellence. The highlight of this show for me is being in a cast people who are so dedicated. The music is great to listen to every night and we have a crew that is great to us. It's nice to be back on Broadway." Lillias White, nominee for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Fela! "My wife called me this morning with the news.
