More Plays from New York (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

My first volume, New Plays from New York and this second one contains both dramas and comedies which vary in length. All have been produced in festivals (national and international) and small theater companies in Manhattan between 2011 and 2016 and are a collection of my theatrical adventures and memories. The Divvy: We loved your work and hope you are as excited as [we are] to see it on the stage. Congratulations again! (Deborah Grimberg [with John Chatterton], Midtown International Theatre Festival). Flutter Punch: Very funny play. Love it (Jeffrey Stocker, director and acting coach, American Readers Theatre and Joffrey Ballet School both of New York, Portland Civic Theatre Guild, Portland Center Stage, etc). A talented playwright with a good ear for dialogue and a great feeling for age and time. Theres a whole lot of good stuff there (Marlene Thorn Taber, director and choreographer, SDCF, New York, National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts). Rescue the Perishing: I just finished reading your play and I am so glad that I finally did . . . It left me wanting more about New York then and about these well-crafted characters (Eileen Lacy, SAG-AFTRA actor, New York City). Shes a very talented writer and weve produced several of her shows (Steven Barrett, artistic director, Love Creek Productions).

Autor

A native of Manhattan, Jeanne Chenault Porter is living proof that there is an afterlifethat is a life after a long, very different, but successful career. Jeanne is a recovering academic who has always been involved in the arts. For seven years she studied piano and theory at Juilliard and violin at Mannes. After majoring in art history and English literature at Barnard College, and receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, for years Jeanne was a professor of art history at Hunter College, Finch College, The University of Tennessee and, most recently, The Pennsylvania State University where she taught seventeenth century painting in Italy, France, and Spain with a focus on her signature city of Naples. She was a recipient of numerous scholarly awards including a Fulbright to Rome. Her publications are primarily in the field of European Baroque or Modern American painting but since she had always attended and loved the theatre, she decided recently to write a play. One effort led quickly to another and within three years she had produced eight. Jeanne appreciates the support she has received from actor husband, Richard James Porter, also a former art historian and gallery director, who is currently on stage in Manhattan and elsewhere. To put it another way, for Jeanne the theatre is Act III.
