NATIONAL READING EVENT OF "It Can't Happen Here"

2011-10-24T12:54:00.000-07:00

Burning Clown Productions
joins theatres across the USA to read
IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE
by Sinclair Lewis' and John C. Moffitt
celebrating the
75th anniversary
of the Federal Theatre Project
and it's historical production of
this powerful drama.

BCP presents
a free play reading event
on Sunday night, October 23rd @7pm
in the

Ellington Room
of
Manhattan Plaza,
400 West 43rd St. 2nd floor
(between 9th and 10th avenues)

Admission is free
reservations are required
to gain entrance to the building:
(212) 591-0358.

Featuring: Spencer Scott Barros, James Edward Becton, Tom Berdik, Evan Bernardin, Katie Braden, David Palmer Brown, Kelly Anne Burns, Lori Faiella, Charles E. Gerber, Ken Glickfeld, Richard Kent Green, Tim Scott Harris, Heather Massie, Jeff Paul, Gerianne Raphael, Tracy Shar, Mike Smith Rivera, Georgia Southern-Penn, Ben Sumrall, Fred Velde, Jon Weber, & Shaun Bennet Wilson

Readings in theaters, art centers and living rooms across the country will follow the spirit of the original production, which opened in 22 theaters in 18 US cities on October 27, 1936 and was seen by more than 316,000 people.

There will be readings in Chicago, Los Angeles, Hollywood, New York, Louisville, Cleveland, Syracuse, Kansas City, Reno, and many other cities

The play envisions a fictional America where a powerful senator becomes a dictator, abolishing labor unions, free speech, and a free press. His sinister allies, known only as “the Corpos,” recruit unemployed and dissatisfied young people and intimidate anyone who opposes their agenda.

The 2011 national reading project was initiated by Darryl Henriques, formerly of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, and is co-sponsored by the SFMT and Dell'Arte International. Henriques hopes to call attention to an important piece of American history and to alert today’s audiences to The Federal Theater Project, which employed theater workers, circus performers, cabaret and vaudeville acts a part of the WPA. Those who've seen Tim Robbins' 1999 movie "The Cradle Will Rock" were introduced to that incredible time when Uncle Sam became the greatest producer of plays in the United States and there was for a fleeting moment a National Theater administered by the brilliant and indefatigable Hallie Flanagan.

2010-12-12T22:53:00.000-08:00

Don't miss
heartBeast Productions' staged reading of Michael Beh's new play
BEAUTIFUL FRANKENSTEIN!

MONDAY, DECEMBER 13TH - 7PM
at The WorkShop Theater Company's Main Stage

directed by
David Gautschy

Featuring:
Katie Braden, Kelly Anne Burns, Mike Smith Rivera,
Jenny Strassberg, Anna Emily Wood, Amy Ferrante-Martin,
Peter Tedeschi, Brandon Williams
and Broadway's Michael McEachran.

LOVE IS MONSTROUS!
In this modern day imagining of the Frankenstein story, love is a vicious commodity that involves sacrifice, murder, friendship, lust and betrayal. Michael Beh's new play "Beautiful Frankenstein" takes audiences on a sumptuous journey weaving Mary Shelley's Frankenstein myth though the real life drama of the Romantic poets and the women that they exploited.
But this monster is a new Adam, sensual, naive and cloned, provoking our understanding of the sublime and nature of man.

"Sometimes I can see the future and I know that you will last the testament of time but that people will misunderstand you. You will be reimagined and misremembered and confused. And that is as it should be, for you are a monstrous nightmare in the making."
-- Beautiful Frankenstein

Long ("People Be Heard") scored the fellowship with his play "The Huntsmen," about a boy plagued by bad dreams, while Olmos snagged the residency for "I Put the Fear of Mexico in 'Em," about an American couple's chance encounter in an alley in Mexico.

Sundance fellowships are funded by the two-year-old Time Warner Storytelling Advancement Fund, which awards grants and creative support to up to 20 fellows over a four-year timeframe."

Since 2002, RIPFEST has provided an outlet for some of New York and LA’s brightest filmmaking and theatrical talents, allowing both established and up-and-coming artists to collaborate on professional-quality short films over a 16-day process. While other quick filmmaking projects try to churn out lots of short films in just hours, RIPFEST brings together a carefully selected group of professional and emerging film and theater talent to collaborate on high-quality, original short films, and gives them the process and support that they need to make great work. Each team is supported through a carefully developed creative process and at the end, all the films are given a public premiere.
