PlayMakers Repertory Company by Bobbi Owen,Adam Versényi Pdf

"This book traces the trajectory of the first fifty years of PlayMakers Repertory Company (PRC). As you will read in the pages that follow, when Tom Haas and Arthur Housman conceived of PlayMakers Repertory Company in 1975, they created a unique institution, a professional theatre company not only located on the campus of a major research university, but one embedded within UNC's Department of Dramatic Art. That combination of professional artistic achievement coupled with the highest quality theatrical training characterizes PlayMakers Repertory Company from its inception to the present day. Then as now, the core of the resident company--composed of faculty who are both teachers and practitioners--along with the graduate students in the Department's three MFA programs, is constantly supplemented by the best directors, designers, and performers working in the field today.

Stick Fly by Lydia R. Diamond Pdf

The affluent, African-American LeVay family is gathering at their Martha’s Vineyard home for the weekend, and brothers Kent and Flip have each brought their respective ladies home to meet the parents for the first time. Kent’s fiancée, Taylor, an academic whose absent father was a prominent author, struggles to fit into the LeVay’s upper-crust lifestyle. Kimber, on the other hand, is a self-described WASP who works with inner-city school children, fits in more easily with the family. Joining these two couples are the demanding LeVay patriarch, Joe, and Cheryl, the daughter of the family’s longtime housekeeper. As the two newcomers butt heads over issues of race and privilege, long-standing family tensions bubble under the surface and reach a boiling point when secrets are revealed.

A History of the Theatre Costume Business by Triffin I. Morris,Gregory DL Morris,Rachel E. Pollock Pdf

A History of the Theatre Costume Business is the first-ever comprehensive book on the subject, as related by award-winning actors and designers, and first hand by the drapers, tailors, and craftspeople who make the clothes that dazzle on stage. Readers will learn why stage clothes are made today, by whom, and how. They will also learn how today’s shops and ateliers arose from the shops and makers who founded the business. This never-before-told story shows that there is as much drama behind the scenes as there is in the performance: famous actors relate their intimate experiences in the fitting room, the glories of gorgeous costumes, and the mortification when things go wrong, while the costume makers explain how famous shows were created with toil, tears, and sweat, and sometimes even a little blood. This is history told by the people who were present at the creation – some of whom are no longer around to tell their own story. Based on original research and first-hand reporting, A History of the Theatre Costume Business is written for theatre professionals: actors, directors, producers, costume makers, and designers. It is also an excellent resource for all theatregoers who have marveled at the gorgeous dresses and fanciful costumes that create the magic on stage, as well as for the next generation of drapers and designers.
