7 imagesOpening night of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," Alvin Theatre, NYC, 1951 Actor Kirk Douglas and his wife Diana Dill. Can be seen Betty Smith, writer Fleur Cowles (in glasses) actress Martha Wright, and others, i.e. theatre critics. (original note from Fried) Two contact prints, two 35mm sleeves Assignment for Theatre Club A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a musical with a book by George Abbott and Betty Smith, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and music by Arthur Schwartz. First produced in 1951, the musical is based on Smith's autobiographical novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1943), but when Shirley Booth was cast as Aunt Cissy, a secondary character in the novel, the prominence of this role was expanded and tailored to Booth's comedic talents, diminishing the relative importance of other characters, in particular young Francie, through whose eyes the plot of the novel unfolds.

3 imagesDo I Hear A Waltz, 1965 with Stephen Sondheim Arthur Laurents, Richard Rodgers Black & White and color. Sondheim had participated in three straight hits, but his next show – 1964's Anyone Can Whistle – was a nine-performance failure (although it introduced Angela Lansbury to musical theatre). Do I Hear a Waltz?, based on Arthur Laurents' 1952 play The Time of the Cuckoo, was intended as another Rodgers and Hammerstein musical with Mary Martin in the lead. A new lyricist was needed, and Laurents and Rodgers' daughter, Mary, asked Sondheim to fill in.

35 imagesJudson Poets' Theatre Judson Memorial Church Images include play "Antigone" and "Speed Limit" Including Associate Minister, pianist and head of the arts, Al Carmines. Robert Morris, Judith Dunn and many others. 1963-66 Saturday Evening Post Performance Art Rev. Howard Moody Associate Pastor, Al Carmines Judson Dance Theatre Theatrical Productions NAACP Event In the early 1960s, Village poet Robert Nichols asked Al Carmines if Judson Church could host productions of experimental theatre pieces, including his own short plays, for which he had no other venue. Only Café LaMama and Caffé Cino were beginning to present a few new plays in their spaces. Judson Church became the third venue from which "Off Off Broadway" developed. The productions were done on a shoestring and admission was by contribution. Most plays were presented in the church's balcony space, although some larger productions, such as Theo Barnes' "Antigone" in Kabuki style, used the main Meeting Room. Joel Oppenheimer's "Great American Desert" was the first play produced by the church under the "Judson Poet's Theater" label (Al Carmines insisted on using the American spelling "theater"). Larry Kornfeld, formerly a director at the Living Theatre, moved to the Judson Poet's Theater, where he directed new works by Rosalyn Drexler, Maria Irene Fornès, Diane DiPrima, Rochelle Owens, Paul Goodman, George Dennison, and many others. Guest directors included Jacques Levy, Remy Charlip and James Waring. Choreographers included Dan Wagoner and David Vaughan.

1 imageMacBird! 6/6/67 35mm color slides MacBird! is a 1967 satire by Barbara Garson that superimposed the transferral of power following the Kennedy assassination onto the plot of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Thus John F. Kennedy becomes "John Ken O'Dunc", Lyndon Johnson becomes "MacBird", Lady Bird Johnson becomes "Lady MacBird", and so forth. As Macbeth assassinates Duncan, so MacBird is responsible for the assassination of Ken O'Dunc; and as Macbeth is defeated by Macduff, so MacBird is defeated by Robert Ken O'Dunc (i.e. Robert Kennedy). This action is significantly influenced by the Three Witches, representing Students, Blacks, and Leftists.Stacy Keach as MacBird,Rue McClanahan as Lady MacBird,Paul Hecht as John Ken O'Dunc,William Devane as Robert Ken O'Dunc,John Pleshette as Ted Ken O'Dunc,,John Clark as Earl of Warren,Cleavon Little as Witch 2
