  • UNIVERSES, Whose Theatrical Works Fuse Poetry, Theatre, Jazz, Hip-Hop
    Who Are UNIVERSES? UNIVERSES, whose theatrical works fuse poetry, theatre, jazz, hip-hop, politics, down-home blues and Spanish boleros, came together in 1995 in the open mic scene of New York City. Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz-Sapp were performers at the NuYorican Poets Café in Lower Manhattan who blended their talents. William Ruiz (a.k.a. Ninja) auditioned for UNIVERSES in 2004 after graduating from college and became a core member of the ensemble. Over the group’s 20-plus-year career, they have created and/or performed such pieces as The Ride (1998), Blue Suite (a.k.a. Eyewitness Blues) (2004), The Last Word (2005), One Shot in Lotus Position (2006) and others. They presented their pieces at places such as the Actors Theatre of Louisville’s Humana Festival of New American Plays, Berkeley Repertory Theatre and The Public Theater and have performed in Poland, Chile and Colombia. Their first show and one of their better- known works is Slanguage, which premiered in 2001 at the New York Theatre Workshop, directed by Jo Bonney. Since then, they have continued to write and perform nationally acclaimed shows that are socially conscious and rooted in historical narratives and icons. Ameriville, which premiered at the Actors Theatre of Louisville in 2009, focused on their observations of the people affected by, and their social commentary of, the politics surrounding, hurricane-ravaged New Orleans. For Party People, the group interviewed members of the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords to capture the challenges of their activism in the 1960s and the legacies of that work.

  • Writer Lemon Andersen
    ToasT a play by Lemon Andersen directed by Elise Thoron DESCRIPTION In 1971, an inmate had to choose between going home after twenty-seven years of imprisonment or joining the uprising in Attica. ToasT is a new play by Lemon Andersen that celebrates the poetic history of Black narratives called "Toasts". The play takes fictional characters from this oral tradition and puts them in a non-fictional setting (Attica Prison) . The most famous hero from the toast tradition "Willie Green", also known as "Dolomite", has been locked up for the past twenty-seven years in Attica's D-block for multiple counts of murder. He shares the prison with other folklore heroes like Jesse James, Hobo Ben, Stackolee, and Hard Rock. They kill the hard prison time spending their days sharing war stories, playing cards, and drinking hooch. The brutal conditions these inmates are living in pushes the young hotheaded Hard Rock to lead a revolution. He spends his time trying to convince his fellow inmates to join him in an uprising even if it means sacrificing their lives. Behind Hard Rock's preaching about grievances lies the real story of Dolomite secretly being given an unexpected early release date. Having to tell his fellow inmates about his release is defeating his soul. Every time Dolomite has a chance to tell the inmates, his moment to reveal the truth is interrupted by daily prison culture, Hard Rock's rants, and signifying toasts. As temperature rises and an uprising approaches, Hard Rock is taken by the guards, what will Dolomite do? BACKGROUND "Toast" is an art form of reciting poetry based on characters and situations derived from the Black experience, mostly told and performed in the prisons, bars, and pool halls of America.

    SANAA LATHAN IS VERA STARK IN PULITZER PRIZE WINNER LYNN NOTTAGE’S WEST COAST PREMIERE Acclaimed Cast Also Features Kevin Carroll, Merle Dandridge, Amanda Detmer, Spencer Garrett, Kimberly Hébert Gregory and Mather Zickel Helmed by Obie Award Winner Jo Bonney Opening Night September 26, 2012 LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2012 — Stage and screen star Sanaa Lathan (A Raisin in the Sun, Contagion) returns to the title role in Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage’s By the Way, Meet Vera Stark for its West Coast premiere at the Geffen Playhouse. Lathan, who originated the character of Vera Stark in the critically acclaimed New York run, will once again take the stage as the 1930’s era maid turned movie star, reunited with original cast member Kimberly Hébert Gregory (Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer) reprising her role as fellow aspiring African American actress Lottie. Broadway vet and Geffen alum Merle Dandridge (Spamalot, Rent, Aida) will take on the spicy role of Anna Mae, who fakes a Brazilian accent for a slice of fame, and former leading lady of ABC’s Man Up, Amanda Detmer, will portray Gloria Mitchell, the white starlet dubbed “America’s little sweetie pie” and Vera’s first employer. Helmed by award-winning director Jo Bonney, the West Coast premiere cast also features Kevin Carroll (Paid in Full, Being John Malkovich), Spencer Garrett (Iron Man 3, Air Force One) and Geffen alum Mather Zickel (Extraordinary Chambers, Rachel Getting Married). It’s Hollywood’s heyday and the streets of Los Angeles are filled with glitz, glamour and the chance at stardom — that is as long as you have the “right” look.

    2017/18 ANNUAL REPORT Harriet D. Foy and Joniece Abbott-Pratt in THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND, Photo by Joan Marcus Board of Trustees Dear friends- James C. Nicola As we sit and reflect on New York Theatre Workshop’s 2017/18 season, we are humbled by all that our ARTISTIC DIRECTOR community of artists, staff, supporters and audiences brought into the world. We are living in a moment of great uncertainty and cannot express enough gratitude for the artists who have taken this uncertainty head Jeremy Blocker on, grappling with questions of how we move forward both as individuals and as a collective. MANAGING DIRECTOR These questions are daunting and have no single answer. Each individual and community brings their own Barbara Warner Howard CHAIR perspective and imagination. For the first time in many years, we expanded our production capacity from four to five productions, making space for more artists to contend with these pressing questions. And it was a true Kelly Fowler Hunter honor to welcome back four women who have long been part of the NYTW family to helm these ambitious PRESIDENT projects. Allan S. Gordon The season began with Amy Herzog’s deeply human MARY JANE. Anne Kauffman’s quietly stunning VICE CHAIR production celebrated a resilient mother and the power of both fleeting and sustained human connection. As the days grew shorter, we were graced with the haunting and healing melodies of Shaun and Abigail Bengon’s Jack Bamberger VICE PRESIDENT HUNDRED DAYS, reminding us that love and hope bring light in fearful times.
