  • Patron Services Representatives Are the Official Face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS Lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn
    REPRESENTATIVE JOB DESCRIPTION Patron Services Representatives are the official face of the Theatre Development Fund on the TKTS lines at Times Square, South Street Seaport and Downtown Brooklyn. They assist patrons at the booths with all of their questions and are primarily charged with discussing the current theatrical offerings with potential ticket buyers. The goal of a Patron Services Representative is not to “push” or “sell” certain shows or seats, but rather to help our patrons to make informed decisions for themselves and get all the information they need about any given show or shows. In a nutshell, Patron Services Representatives are well informed, kind, and passionate theatre professionals working for TDF/TKTS, in order to help our patrons’ understanding of the booths, and improve the overall TKTS experience. Like all TDF’s programming, they are trying to make theatre accessible to as many people as possible by improving the experience of the booths and simplify the sometimes overwhelming world of New York City Theatre. Representatives are expected to: -Work year round at the TKTS Booths, for the most part out-of doors. -Have an excellent working knowledge of New York City in order to best help patrons (especially of the Theatres and their areas) -Be able to discuss with patrons of TKTS the various shows we have on offer. -Offer help to anyone looking for informational assistance at our Booths. -Keep up to date with information on the current season of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions. This may include attending various shows which offer invitations to the team. -Assist in Patron’s understanding of the TKTS Booth’s operations, rules, and function.

  • THE NEW CENTURY by PAUL RUDNICK May 10-20, 2012 WEDNESDAYS–SATURDAYS 8 PM SUNDAYS 2 PM & 7:30 PM
    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. 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.

IRB protocol # 12-0485 iii Abstract Thorson, Gregory Stuart (Ph.D. Department of Theatre) The Dream Continues: American New Play Development in the Twenty-First Century Thesis directed by Associate Professor Oliver Gerland New play development is an important component of contemporary American theatre. In this dissertation, I examined current models of new play development in the United States. Looking at Lincoln Center Theater and Signature Theatre, I considered major non-profit theatres that seek to create life-long connections to legendary playwrights. I studied new play development at a major regional theatre, Denver Center Theatre Company, and showed how the use of commissions contribute to its new play development program, the Colorado New Play Summit. I also examined a new model of play development that has arisen in recent years—the use of small black box theatres housed in large non-profit theatre institutions.
