Even after New York’s Puerto Rican Traveling Theater found a permanent home, its tireless founder never rested in her passionate artistry and advocacy.
Lured to L.A. at the beginning of the regional theatre movement, he stayed and changed both.
He kept returning to his work with more to say and more ways to say it; we keep returning to his work because we can feel the love.
My late colleague and a friend did more to elevate playwrights than any other theatre leader I’ve known.
Though a quiet presence offstage, onstage he sprang to life in a wide variety of roles over a long and busy career.
At Stratford and on Broadway, he was a master craftsman and perfect gentleman. And who else could have had a career ranging from Hamlet to Lady Bracknell?
The Irish playwright’s international success began after an inspiring experience at the Guthrie Theater.
The iconic actor was also a great artistic director, a tireless theatre enthusiast, and a gracious mentor to young artists.
If the late director was tireless, it wasn’t for his own sake. He demanded as much from himself as he did from others, and we are all the richer for it.
A playwright remembers the late actor’s grace under fire, and the memorable fury with which she delivered a simple five-word line.
