Summer News 2007/08What the critics said of
our 2006/07 Season:
It’s our Fifteenth Anniversary Season and what betterway to do justice to this milestone year then with aseason that revolves around DRAMATIC JUSTICE?
Plays that center on the law, trials, ethics and justice ofall kinds will form the backbone of our season this year.Our Mainstage season kicks off with a gripping tale ofillicit love and murder in the Catholic Church. A hit from1976 (and selected as Best Play of the year by BurnsMantel), The Runner Stumbles, by Milan Stitt, is thestory of a country priest and a young nun and a differ-ent kind of love that-dare-not-speak-its-name. It’sbased on a true story from the turn of the last centuryand is written by a writer who may not be a householdname, but is a true man of the theatre.
Born in Detroit, Mr. Stitt is a playwright, director, pro-ducer and professor. A graduate of the University ofMichigan and the Yale School of Drama, Mr. Stitt was along-time member of the Circle Repertory Company forwhom he wrote, directed and served as dramaturge, aswell as founded its play development program andserved as its Executive Director. His has written exten-sively for television and, in 1996, was nominated for anInternational Emmy for his teleplay, Long Shadows forAmerican Playhouse. The film version of his screen-play for The Runner Stumbles was directed by StanleyKramer and starred Dick VanDyke, Kathleen Quinlan,Beau Bridges, Ray Bolger and Tammy Grimes. Hisother plays include Labor Day and Back to the Races.
The Runner Stumbles will be directed by TTAACCTT ArtisticDirector, Scott Alan Evans, at the Beckett Theatre atTheatre Row from October 27th through November
25th, where, once again this season, TTAACCTT will be inresidence.
But first, our Salon Series of concert play readingskicks off in September with another salacious offering– this one with a French twist. A Shot in the Dark byMarcel Archard, adapted by Harry Kurnitz, boastsintrigue, deception, violence and, well, laughs! Sinceit’s French, of course, there’s a mistress, too. JulieHarris starred in the original Broadway production asthe gamine mistress with William Shatner playing anambitious young prosecutor. Harold Clurman helmedthe proceedings which was a hit for the 1961 season.
Contemporary critics have heralded Marcel Achard asuccessor to such lauded French writers as Marivauxand De Musset. His work, which first gained populari-ty in the 20’s and 30’s, followed two paths. His boule-vard plays were sentimental and somewhat dreamlike– many of them garnered their titles from popularsongs of the day – and made him a lot of money. Hislesser-known works, however, showed interestinginnovative techniques and highly original themes. AfterWWII, Marcel continued to enjoy success. In fact, hismost popular works came in 1957 – a comedy entitledPatate (Spud) – and again in 1960, with his comic mys-tery L’idote (The Idiot) on which A Shot in the Dark isbased. Harry Kurnitz’s playwriting career includes sev-eral Broadway productions, including Once More, WithFeeling in 1958, which featured Joseph Cotton, ArleneFrances and Walter Mathiau, who received a TonyAward Nomination for his work. He followed that upwith his adaptation of A Shot in the Dark. Kurnitz went

COMPANY NEWS“Well, where the heck is everyone? Why haven’t I heard from so-and-so?”Fret no more, inquisitive TTAACCTTicians, for here’s the company news:
Compiled by Jamie Bennett
The Company and Broad of Directors of TTAACCTTare pleased to announce two new membersof the Board: WWaarrrreenn HHaannddlleemmaann and EEllaaiinnee
WWoollbbrroomm. Warren comes to us through TTAACCTTmember James Murtaugh and is a former memberof the EST Board of Directors. A patron of the arts,Warren has many interests including antique cars.Elaine and her husband Irving have been TTAACCTTsupporters for several years now. A formerGeriatric Social Worker, Elanie volunteers at theJewish Brail Library and at the Jewish Museum iswidely involved in the arts – Jacob’s Pillow andCarnegie Hall and now TTAACCTT. But then theatre hasbeen in her blood since she was a girl. She is aproud graduate of the Performing Arts High School.
AAsshhlleeyy WWeesstt just finished playingLeontine in the Olney Theatre Center’sproduction of 13 Rue De L’Amour and inJuly she’s heading down to Sarasota’sFlorida Studio Theatre to play Izzy in the
Pulitzer Prize winning drama Rabbit Hole.
MMaarryy LLoouuiissee GGeeiiggeerr (M.L.) is just back from lightingMerry Widow with Susan Graham and LuisaFernanda at LA Opera. The latter starred PlacidoDomingo, so “things were pretty glam.” Now she’soff to ACT in Seattle to design Victor Pappas’ pro-duction of Stuff Happens, and then to IdahoShakespeare Festival to light Drew Barr’s produc-tion of Arsenic and Old Lace (AaOL at aShakespeare Festival? There must be somethingin the potatoes). Afterwards, she’ll be collapsing
upstate for the rest of the summer. If anyone iscoming to Glimmerglass, please give her a call!
SSiimmoonn JJoonneess has just finished amonth-long run of Phallacy at TheCherry Lane Theatre. The play waswritten by the internationally respect-ed chemist, Professor Carl Djerassi,
inventor of the Birth-Control Pill. The play con-cerned an academic dispute that centered on acertain appendage on an early Roman bronze stat-ue. Reviews were similarly divided about the play(“Djerassi should keep his day job”, NY Post; “Anelegant comedy of academic manners”, The NewYorker) but were unanimous about Simon’s per-formance (“excellent”, NY Times; “Without a flaw”,Broadwayworld.com - Who? Never mind!) He hasalso won a 2007 Audie for The Hitchhikers’s Guideto the Galaxy - The Quintessential Phase. (Says he:“No money, no tchochke, alas”). Go Simon!
CCyynntthhiiaa HHaarrrriiss has been very busy:This past winter, she narrated twoseries on Wide Angle for Channel 13.She also appeared with MarionSeldes at Food For Thought, readingthe Tennessee Williams one act play The Lady ofLarkspur Lotion. Then there’s been time for help-ing playwrights hear their new plays being read sothey can continue to develop them.

on to receive a Tony Award nomination himself forhis book to the musical, The Girl Who Came toSupper (1963), written with none other than SirNoel Coward.
A Shot in the Dark, was made into a film in 1964 byBlake Edwards, which starred Peter Sellers andElke Sommer, but as The New York Times reportsin its review of the film, “… the title and the issue ofa maid in a French family… are the only tangibleties to its nominal source.”
Looking ahead to the Spring, we’re thrilled to bepresenting the rarely seen The Eccentricities of aNightingale by Tennessee Williams. This will beTTAACCTT’’ss first encounter with Mr. Williams and we’rehonored to have been granted special permissionby the Williams estate to present this fascinatingplay. Eccentricities will be directed by TTAACCTT com-pany member, Jenn Thompson in the ClurmanTheatre at Theatre Row from April 26th throughMay 24th.

The 2006/07 Season was TTAACCTT''ss "Year of theGreat Leap Forward." We'd had thirteen previousseasons of working together as a repertory com-
pany (something precious few theatre companies canboast). We needed to know whether all of our accu-mulated experience would enable us to balancebetween continuing in the style for which we're bestknown - the well-executed concert performances -and staging fully mounted productions. Our objectivewas to enlarge TTAACCTT''ss horizons and announce ourexistence to a wider theatre-going audience, while atthe same time fulfilling our original mission. It was asizable challenge - but we can now look back on theSeason with a sense of justified triumph.
Our two full productions - HOME and THE SEAreceived some of the best notices of the season fromall sources. The effect on the box office was electrify-ing. (Even at a mere $20 a ticket, theatre-goers need,it seems, to be told by the newspaper of record thattheir money is not going to be wasted!) It was sad thatin both cases, budgetary restraints prevented us fromextending our runs - but then we fulfilled the oldtheatrical caution: "Always leave 'em wanting more."
At the same time, we gave our faithful subscribers alarger menu of delights than usual, presenting a series

Greg will also be filming ascene in the new film by Charlie Kaufman calledSynecdoche, New York. (Says Greg: “That’s thename of the film, by the way - a play on words fromSchenectady, New York. It’s not a typo. It’s justweird.”) Those of you familiar with little known literarydevices might get the joke, but the rest of us don’t.
After directing Badge (see above), JJeennnn TThhoommppssoonn willbe tackling The Foreigner for Connecticut’s River RepTheatre Company. For more information visitwwwwww..rriivveerrrreepp..ccoomm.
Meanwhile, MMaarryy BBaaccoonn is an actingmachine: after playing Miss Yates in TheMadras House at the Mint throughMarch, then playing Kate in Taming ofthe Shrew for Richard Hamburger’s final
production as artistic director of the Dallas TheatreCenter, and then working on Conversations withShakespeare at Symphony Space, she headed out tothe New Works Festival in Steamboat Springs for aDan O’Brien play for the rest of June. Finally, she’ll bedoing Bald Soprano at Shakespeare Theatre of NewJersey this July & August, directed by Matthew Arbor.But before that, she’ll be joining TTAACCTT for its specialpresentation of Light Up the Sky in Pennsylvania.When it rains, it pours.
After over five years and nearly 1900shows JJoohhnn PPlluummppiiss gave his final per-formance as Timon in the national com-pany of The Lion King on May 20th. Aweek later, he began rehearsals for the2007 Colorado Shakespeare Festival, where he willplay Truffaldino in Goldoni’s The Servant of TwoMasters, Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, andvarious Romans in Julius Caesar. The Festival playsin Boulder through August 18. Upon his arrival inColorado, John met up with Scott Alan Evans and hisfamily, enjoying the sights and sounds of MemorialDay in Boulder. Saving the best for last, John isthrilled to be marrying Celia Smith in Columbus, Ohioat the historic Southern Theatre on October 8. Thecouple met while John was on tour, and they plan toreturn to NYC at the end of October. Congratulations,John and Celia!
Speaking of SSccootttt AAllaann EEvvaannss, he and his family didenjoy a beautiful Memorial Day weekend in Coloradovisiting his sister, Brooke and her family. After a verybusy year with his work for the American MusicalsProject, directing Home and The Sea, and completingthe TTAACCTT season of Salon Series presentations, it wasa wonderful respite. Now, it’s on to next season!
JJaammeess PPrreennddeerrggaasstt has a co-starring role inthe feature film of the play The Changeling,which just completed a successful run atTwo Boots Pioneer Theatre in New YorkCity. Coming up: a trip to Munich to work

RRaacchheell FFoowwlleerr appeared as Carol in Man and Boy inthe Salon Series, and recently played Mafawny in TheSea with TTAACCTT. As she’s expecting her first child Sept1st, she described the work as “challenging”; most ofher stage time was spent pretending to be Cerberus,watchdog of hell! She has become involved in read-
From themoment I wasasked, “what
are my five favoriteroles played withTTAACCTT?” my mindhas been racingover the last fifteenyears of being withthe company. Itmade me realizewhat an extraordi-nary experience
this has been for me.I don’t believe there are many actors in this coun-try who have gotten to play over 30 roles with thesame company and, at the same time, appear intheatre productions and in other medium outsidethe group. I’ve had the opportunity to exploremany different characters in a variety of outstand-ing plays, without the constraints of “type cast-ing” or star status that exists in the strictly com-mercial theatre. TTAACCTT has also been the impetusfor me to read all sorts of theatrical literature tofind those plays “just right” for the company toact and for our audiences to enjoy. It has been,and I hope will continue to be, one hell of a mar-velous, thrilling ride.
Now, the question at hand... a really tough one asI get attached to every role I play. The magic ofacting for me is to be another person, in anotherreality, and yet at the same time, to bring myselfto the given circumstances. I suspect whatmakes these FAVE FIVE I’ve chosen is that theywere either fun to play, or a great challenge, orthey allowed an escape from the “external” me, atthe same time, reflecting some aspect of what Itruly am. Actually, I’m not sure it’s all that ration-al a choice.
In any event, here are my FAVE FIVE - in no orderof preference:
Fanny Farrely in Lillian Hellman’s WATCH ONTHE RHINE. A comfortable, innocent Washington
matriarch, forced toface the realities ofthe impending war inAmerica and the hor-rors already takingplace in Europe.She’s naïve, she’sbrave, she is foolish,and she loves herfamily – and eventual-ly grows up.
Countess Aurelia inJean Giraudoux’s THEMADWOMAN OFCHAILLOT. A trueeccentric in appear-ance, word, thought,and deed. Determinedto save Paris (during theGerman occupation),she epitomizes what itmeans to take the roadless traveled and have the courage to be yourown person.
The Countess in YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOUby George Kaufmann and Moss Hart. How fabu-lous to be in a zany American comedy full of hopeand optimism; not appear till the last act; play adown-at-the-heels Russian noblewoman withsome of the funniest lines of the play; get laughsand walk off stage having had a really great timeand being certain the audience has had one too.
A realupper!
Marjorie inHOME byD a v i dStorey. Afrightened,b r o k e nd o w nlower classE n g l i s hwoman inan institu-tion for thementally ill- unattrac-tive in
a p p e a r -ance, unable to communicate her fears, with littleor no hope for any kind of future outside the fourwalls and grounds of the home. I feel for her. Adowner, perhaps, but so interesting to explore.
Madame Ste. Pe in WALTZ OF THE TORE-ADORS by Jean Anouilh: the hypochondriac har-ridan of a wife to a General who lusts for a youngwoman. No holds barred anger and nothing tolove about her, yet I found her fascinating to play.
So that makes one American, one Englishwoman, two Frenchwomen and one Russian…and always with the pleasure of my fellow TTAACCTTactors, and the joy of Scott directing. I feel sovery, very lucky, and I’m so glad you asked thatquestion.

Countess Auriela in TheMadwoman of Chaillot
Interestingly, a film version of the play, starringBlythe Danner and Frank Langella, made it’sbroadcast debut in the summer of 1976 on PBSjust four months before the Broadway production.
When its Broadway premiere finally came inNovember, 1976, it was deemed inadequately castand lasted just three weeks. The play has beenproduced only rarely since.

Some plays taketime to maketheir mark.
Tennessee Williams'The Eccentricities of aNightingale is certainlyone. The story of theplay's evolution andWilliams feelingsabout it are fascinat-ing theatre history, butgood dramaturgyalone does not a goodplay make. No,
Eccentricities has more than just a good backsto-ry. It stands the test of time and, we feel, belongsin the cannon of Williams’ most important works.Which is why we are including this brilliant play inour 15th Anniversary Season.
The play is itself a reworking of another work,Summer and Smoke, which opened on Broadwayin October of 1948, following The Glass Menagerieand running concurrently with A Streetcar NamedDesire. Given the extraordinary success of thoseother plays, Summer and Smoke was overshad-owed and the Broadway production was anunderwhelming venture.
Begun in 1945, the seed of Summer and Smokecan be found in two of Williams’ stories, "Oriflame"and "The Yellow Bird." Variously titled The Chart ofAnatomy and The Water is Cool, by 1946 Williamswas "switching back and forth between two longplays, the one about the sisters started in Chicagoand the one about a spinster begun in New York."The one about the sisters would eventually betitled A Streetcar Named Desire. The other playwould become Summer and Smoke.
Dissatisfied with the original script and disappoint-ed with the Broadway production, which ran just afew months, Williams busily rewrote the script,retaining the same characters and locale. It washis hope to substitute the now titled TheEccentricities of a Nightingale for Summer andSmoke in the London premiere in 1951, but whenhe arrived with the revision, the production wastoo far advanced to accommodate the change.
In his forward to the published script, Williamswrote "I think The Eccentricities of a Nightingale isa substantially different play from Summer andSmoke, and I prefer it. It is less conventional andmelodramatic."
He expressed the hope that the publication of theplay would lead to a production on Broadway thatwould confirm his conviction that this "radicallydifferent version of the play" was a superior script,but his hope went unfulfilled for over a decade. Infact, Eccentricities was not produced at all until1964.

SEAby Edward Bond
The
of no less than six concert performances, introducing (or reintroducing) atruly catholic range of classic plays all deserving of revival, and most unlike-ly, for economic reasons, to be seen in any other form than ours.
We all - our valiant company, our indispensable and fondly regarded sub-scribers and supporters, our steadfast Board - can justifiably pause, just for
a second, to pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. We should alsotip our hats in salutation for the astonishing efforts of Scott Alan Evans andCathy Bencivenga. Between them they managed to achieve what other the-atre companies, not much larger than ours, employ a staff of ten and up toaccomplish, often with less success.
We have a solid foundation for our new season, and it's going to be anoth-er banner year: our Fifteenth. See you there!
