Summary
A Working in the theatre seminar on the playscript. The program features four panelists affiliated with the New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater: playwright Thomas Babe, director-in-residence Robert Allan Ackerman, play department co-ordinator Lynn Holst, and head of play development Gail Merrifield Papp. The panel also includes composer David Aldrich, play agent Susan Schulman, and playwright Stephen Currens. Discussion covers getting a new play produced; submitting a play for production; reading and evaluating a play; the origins and activities of the play development department at the Public Theater; the evolution of a play from script to final production; working with a playwright as a director; the operations of the Public Theater's play selection process, and the decision making of its producer Joseph Papp; and the panelists' various experiences getting their plays produced. Includes discussion on the productions of Babe's A prayer for my daughter and on Gorey stories, conceived and adapted by Currens, music composed by Aldrich, based on the stories of Edward Gorey. The discussion is followed by question and answer session with audience.
