Theater Talkback: Charles Isherwood Answers Readers’ Questions

By THE NEW YORK TIMES

 

Q.

With all the shows that are in the New York City area, including Off and Off Off Broadway, and regional and school productions, how is it determined which ones are reviewed in the Times? Are you ever sent to review something and decide that it isn’t something that should be in the paper and then don’t write about it? — donlincoln2

A.

The Times reviews all Broadway productions and all the Off Broadway productions from established not-for-profit companies. When it comes to Off Off Broadway things are trickier, since it’s a universe unto itself that is sometimes hard to navigate.

The theater editor, currently Stephanie Goodman, in consultation with the critics, determines which shows to cover using various criteria, generally related to the prominence of the artists involved and the reputations of the companies. And sometimes downtown buzz lets us know which new companies and unknown (to us) artists to cover. But it’s not an exact science; occasionally a worthy show goes uncovered.

And yes, on a couple of occasions I’ve decided a show I planned to cover is better left unremarked upon. But I’ll name no names here.

FRIGID NEW YORK is pleased to present THE LOPSIDED COMPANY reading of LATE NIGHTS WITH THE BOYS: confessions of a leather bar chanteuse by Alex Bond, directed by Steven Yuhasz. LATE NIGHTS WITH THE BOYS will be presented at Under St. Marks (94 Saint Marks Place, between 1st Ave & Ave A).

Press are cordially invited to all readings.


With delightful and poignant tales of a Southern Songstress and her gay family, Alex Bond and David Carson read selections from Ms. Bond's novel and transport you to Dallas 1977, a magical time before HIV/AIDS, but not before ignorance and prejudice. A favorite at the 2008 San Francisco Fringe and the 2009 Fresh Fruit Festival.

A reclusive former Southern debutante/cabaret performer in her sixties, Anna Zander hires Craig Bauer to help her write about the best years of her life. She recounts the tales of singing in the gay leather bars of Dallas (when she looked like a drag queen and sang coloratura!). As she reveals memories, lessons, and losses... the collaboration on the book grows, and so does the friendship between Anna and Craig.

ADVISORY: adult language and content.

The selections will be read by Alex Bond (Flamingo Court), and David Carson (Nixon's Nixon).

LATE NIGHTS WITH THE BOYS has the following schedule through March 7th:

Wednesday, February 24th at 6pm
Saturday, February 27th at 7pm

Clyde Fitch Report asks "Sartre" 5 Questions

"The inescapably French philosopher, playwright, screenwriter, novelist, political activist and critic Jean-Paul Sartre died in 1980. But his distinctive, ineludible 20th century ideas — Existentialism and the ever-conflicting glories of the left — have remained as examined, thrashed about and cautiously celebrated as they ever were during his own time.

Here in New York, meanwhile, a company called Nutshell Productions is mounting what could well be the umpteenth revival of Sartre’s play No Exit, running at the Times Square Arts Center (300 W. 43rd St., 4th Fl.) through Dec. 6. The production, directed by Robert Haufrecht, translated by Samuel Gilbert, features Richard Hymes-Esposito, Geraldine Johns, Karen Giordano and Etienne Navarre playing the characters caught in Sartre’s keen underworld of the mind.
And we are proud, here at the Clyde Fitch Report, to announce a scoop: an interview with the dead playwright himself. It was, shall we say, a very long-distance call, but as you will see, Sartre is as feisty and maddening as ever. (Thanks as well to Haufrecht for facilitating the discussion.)"
