    THE NEW CENTURY BY PAUL RUDNICK May 10-20, 2012 WEDNESDAYS–SATURDAYS 8 PM SUNDAYS 2 PM & 7:30 PM TICKETS AVAILABLE AT www.maxandlouie.com AND COCA BOX OFFICE 314-725-6555 DIRECTOR’S NOTE Are these characters stereotypes? Sure, why not. Some argue stereotypes are a reflection of reality. So…what about the Helene Nadlers, Mr. Charle- ses, and Barbara Ellen Diggs in this world? I certainly have been blessed to know a few in my lifetime. Are we capacious enough to make room for the likes of these wonderfully eccentric and wise characters? Or is there a limit to our tolerance and acceptance? However you may choose to answer these questions, one thing is for certain. These characters—these people—will continue to forge ahead and create their own peculiar brand of beauty. A beauty characterized by transforming the pain inflicted by an onslaught of cruel and unforgiving circumstances into exuberant laughter and celebra- tion. It’s a new century. Will we make room for them at our tables? Time will tell. I am afraid if I don’t, it will be my loss. Personally, I like to laugh and learn, so I think I’ll give them a place of honor. Ultimately, this play is a romp! And that is probably a conservative description. Combine Rud- nick’s sharp, biting, wicked humor with the seemingly inexhaustible come- dic talents of a cast like this and perhaps I should have been paying Max & Louie instead of the other way around. It has been a blast! MISSION Statement Max & Louie Productions enhances lives through the arts, by presenting bold, brave plays with humor and heart that entertain and challenge, bringing artists and audiences togeth- er in a shared experience that illumi- nates life through joy and the release of laughter.

  • Rudnick, Paul (B
    Rudnick, Paul (b. 1957) by Robert Kellerman Paul Rudnick. Image is a still from a Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. promotional video for Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, inc. Standing on Ceremony: Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The Gay Plays, a collection of monologues and short plays American playwright, novelist, and screenwriter Paul Rudnick is a humorist who writes regularly for a variety of media, often on gay subjects. His subversive wit characteristically punctures pretensions and lays bare hypocrisies, yet it is also typically forgiving and healing. Born in 1957 in the New York City suburb of Piscataway, New Jersey to a father who was a physicist and a mother who worked as an arts publicist, Rudnick recalls his childhood as uneventful. He had the advantage of frequent theater trips, which cemented his early goal to be a playwright, and a very funny family, which provided him with a great deal of source material and a comic outlook on life. Rudnick knew he was gay by the time he went to Yale University, where he received a B. A. in theater. He considered further study at Yale's graduate program in drama, but soon decided he needed to move to New York to begin a career in writing. In New York, he initially supported himself with a variety of odd jobs--copy writer, stage set painter, and the like--until his first play, Poor Little Lambs, a comedy recounting the antics of the all-male Yale singing group the Whiffenpoofs, was produced in 1982. The play, which starred the young Kevin Bacon, received a mixed critical reception, so Rudnick turned to novel writing.

  • Laughs Come Easily in Festival's Frothy, Frolicsome Comedy
    Laughs Come Easily In Festival's Frothy, Frolicsome Comedy THEATER REVIEW - `I Hate Hamlet' January 22, 2002|By Elizabeth Maupin, Sentinel Theater Critic Gary Peter Lefkowitz is everybody's nightmare vision of a Hollywood producer -- gold neck chain, sunglasses, multiple rings flashing in the light. Gary doesn't see the point of theater, and when his best friend is set to play Hamlet in Central Park, Gary flies in from the coast to make him a better offer. "TV," he says. "It's like art perfected. When you watch TV, you can eat." Gary Peter Lefkowitz, a supporting player in the comedy I Hate Hamlet, is a trip in anybody's book. But in the Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival's telling, he's got a little something extra. Gary is played by Eric Hissom, most recently Petruchio in the festival's Taming of the Shrew and not long before that the title character in Macbeth. To see someone so well-versed in Shakespeare play Gary Peter Lefkowitz -- and play him to the hilt -- gives this show a layer of mischief nobody expects. There's plenty of mischief already in I Hate Hamlet, an absurd little comedy that the Shakespeare festival has blown up to proportions of epic silliness. This is a show where everyone adds to the merriment, from the six accomplished actors to the composer who contributed a jingle for a fictitious snack called Trailburst Nuggets and the costume designer whose confections must be seen to be believed. And director Thomas Ouellette, a faculty member at Rollins College , has brought it all together so that the show looks effortless -- an airy buffoonery that makes grown men snort.
