  • The Little Foxes Program
    THE LITTLE FOXES 2016/17 SEASON We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Zelda Fichandler, Arena Stage’s co-founder and first Artistic Director. She was 91. Zelda was an extraordinary woman and brilliant theater professional who transformed American theater with her vision and artistry. From Artistic Director Molly Smith: Zelda is the mother of us all in the American theater. It was her thinking as a seminal artist and architect of the not-for-profit resident theater that imagined resident theaters creating brilliant theater in our own communities. A revolutionary idea. Her thinking and her writing have forged the way we were created and the resident nature of our movement. She is irreplaceable but lives on in every single not-for-profit theater in America — now over 1,500 strong. Her legacy stretches from coast to coast. Arthur Miller wrote in the preface to Arena’s 40th anniversary keepsake book (The Arena Adventure) that Arena had the makings of a national theater for the U.S. Without Zelda and Margo Jones and Nina Vance there would not be this robust American theater landscape. So, it was a vision like Zelda’s that could lead to a time where our vision at Arena for American work can thrive. She had a remarkable openness to new ideas and most of all, to always, always support the artist. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends who knew her best. The Lillian Hellman Festival is dedicated to the memory of Zelda Fichandler. 2 2016/17 SEASON Remembering Zelda Fichandler1924 - 2016 Celebrate the Life of Zelda Fichandler The Words of a Visionary The Molly Smith Study Sunday, October 23 2:00 PM - 7:00 PM Public Memorial Service The Fichandler Monday, October 24 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM VISIT ARENASTAGE.ORG/ZELDA FOR MORE INFORMATION.

  • The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman Directed by Eda Holmes
    The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman Directed by Eda Holmes “There are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it … Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it.” In a small town in the deep South, two brothers, Ben and Oscar Hubbard put together a business deal to build a cotton mill in their town. Determined to be a part of plantation aristocracy, they find themselves in need of more capital to complete the deal. They turn to their sister Regina and her husband Horace for the extra money. They have written letters to Horace who is ill and in hospital but he never responds to their requests. In order for the family to maintain controlling interest in the business, they need this money. Oscar: Naturally, you are our sister and we want you to benefit from anything that we do. Regina: And in addition to your concern for me, you do not want control to go out of the family. That right, Ben? Ben: That’s cynical. Cynicism is an unpleasant way of telling the truth. Regina resolves that she will get her husband to agree to their terms and sends her young daughter, Alexandra, to bring Horace home, despite his illness. When Alexandra protests, Regina stands firm, “You must let me be the judge of his condition …Tell your papa that I want him to come home, that I miss him very much.” A week passes and Horace has not returned with Alexandra. In desperation, the brothers begin to formulate a plan to get Horace’s money without his permission.

    Elizabeth Taylor - Child Actress to Film Queen - The New York Times ADVERTISEMENT ELIZABETH TAYLOR, 1932-2011 A Lustrous Pinnacle of Hollywood Glamour By Mel Gussow March 23, 2011 Elizabeth Taylor, the actress who dazzled generations of moviegoers with her stunning beauty and whose name was synonymous with Hollywood glamour, died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. She was 79. A spokeswoman at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said Ms. Taylor died at 1:28 a.m. Pacific time. Her publicist, Sally Morrison, said the cause was complications of congestive heart failure. Ms. Taylor had had a series of medical setbacks over the years and was hospitalized six weeks ago with heart problems. In a world of flickering images, Elizabeth Taylor was a constant star. First appearing on screen at age 10, she grew up there, never passing through an https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/movies/elizabeth-taylor-obituary.html[4/27/2020 3:07:02 PM] Elizabeth Taylor - Child Actress to Film Queen - The New York Times awkward age. It was one quick leap from “National Velvet” to “A Place in the Sun” and from there to “Cleopatra,” as she was indelibly transformed from a vulnerable child actress into a voluptuous film queen. In a career of some 70 years and more than 50 films, she won two Academy Awards as best actress, for her performances as a call girl in “BUtterfield 8” (1960) and as the acid-tongued Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966). Mike Nichols, who directed her in “Virginia Woolf,” said he considered her “one of the greatest cinema actresses.” When Ms.

  • The Little Foxes Sept
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contact: Pam Menhenett [email protected] (216) 288-4551 CLEVELAND PLAY HOUSE OPENS 99TH SEASON WITH THE LITTLE FOXES SEPT. 12 - OCT 5 IN THE ALLEN THEATRE Press Opening Night: September 17 at 7:30 pm CLEVELAND, OH (September 2, 2014) When the Hubbard siblings have the chance to strike it rich, not even the ties of blood or marriage are safe from their cold calculations and elaborate schemes. Artistic Director Laura Kepley launches Cleveland Play House’s 99th season with Lillian Hellman’s delicious drama of ambition and greed in the Deep South that warns us to keep our friends close – and our relatives closer. The Little Foxes, directed by Cleveland Play House Artistic Director Laura Kepley, will run from September 12 – October 5 in the Allen Theatre at PlayhouseSquare. The focus is on Southerner Regina Hubbard Giddens, who struggles for wealth and freedom within the confines of an early 20th- century society where a father considered only sons as legal heirs. As a result, her avaricious brothers Benjamin and Oscar are independently wealthy, while she must rely upon her sickly husband Horace for financial support. Cleveland native Maggie Lacey will play the role of Regina, a role previously played by such iconic actresses as Anne Bancroft, Elizabeth Taylor, Tallulah Bankhead, Stockard Channing and Bette Davis (film version). CPH Artistic Director Laura Kepley comments: “The theme of our 99th season is Legacy and we open our season with a great American play, The Little Foxes. It premiered 75 years ago, yet is so incredibly topical and startlingly relevant I keep forgetting it’s a classic American play.
