Jeffrey Sweet, The Value of Names and Other Plays (syyskuu 9 klo 17:00)
Jeffrey Sweet.
This evening with Jeffrey Sweet, author of the new collection The Value of Names and Other Plays will include readings of excerpts of the work as well as the opportunity for Q & A with Sweet, who will place particular emphasis on how actors may use improvisation to develop new scripts. One of the key ... (lisää)figures of the Chicago theatre movement, Jeffrey Sweet is a resident playwright of the Tony Award-winning Victory Gardens Theatre, where eight of the nine plays in this book have played. Actors who have performed in the plays enclosed include William Petersen, Jon Cryer, Jack Klugman, Jill Eikenberry, Michael Tucker, Helen Hunt, Lindsay Crouse, Shelley Berman and Hector Elizondo. On Sweet and The Value of Names and Other Plays: MIKE NICHOLS: I read a lot of plays, but these are rare: ballsy, surprising, and, most of all, funny. . . . These plays are eminently producible and alive. TOM FONTANA: Jeffrey Sweet is not only a gifted writer, he is a protean chronicler of our times. His characters are complex, yet identifiable; his stories are moving, and provocative. Thank god we now have all these enlightening, entertaining plays within easy reach. MARSHALL W. MASON: Like Shaw and Ibsen, Jeff Sweet is a moralist who uses the dramatic form to explore crucial decisions we face at critical junctures. . . Sometimes humorous, sometimes achingly painful, these are authentic people caught at a crossroad, and that makes for damn good drama.

Reading & Book Signing with Rue McClanahan, My First Five Husbands & the Ones Who Got Away (syyskuu 30 klo 19:00)
Rue McClanahan.
Join us for this rare appearance of author & showbiz personality Rue McClanahan. She'll be reading from and signing copies of the new paperback edition of her book, My First Five Husbands... and the Ones Who Got Away. This book is about men I have known, in both the Platonic and Biblical senses. Some ... (lisää)I knew only slightly, some quite well. Some I’ll love always, some I no longer like very much, and there are a few I’d like to strip naked, tie to a Maypole, smear with sweet syrup near a beehive, then stand back and watch. I’ll describe a goodly number of these hot dudes—and duds—keeping the nicest man for last because—if for nothing else—I’d like to leave you, dear reader, with a good taste in your mouth, and Hubbies #3 and #4 might make you want to rush to gargle. There were times I truly wondered, Lord, will I EVER get it right? Thank God I thrive on variety. --From My First Five Husbands... And the Ones Who Got Away Raised in small-town Oklahoma in a house thirteen telephone poles past the standpipe north of town, Rue developed her two great passions—theater and men—at an early age. She arrived in New York City in 1957 with two-weeks worth of money in her pocket, hustled her way into a class with the legendary Uta Hagen, and began working her way up in the acting world against the vibrant, free-spirited backdrop of the sixties. That’s when she met and married Husband #1—a handsome rogue of an aspiring actor who quickly left her with a young son. Still, she was determined to make it on the stage and screen—and in the years that followed, rose to the top of the entertainment world with a host of adventures (and husbands) along the way. Rue McClanahan was born in Healdton, Oklahoma, and graduated cum laude in theater from the University of Tulsa. Most noted for her role as Blanche on The Golden Girls, McClanahan has had a number of well-known starring roles in television and on Broadway. In addition to her work as an actress, McClanahan speaks regularly for breast cancer awareness and prevention of cruelty toward animals. She lives in New York City with her husband, Morrow Wilson, and her cat, Bianca.
