PlayMakers Repertory Company
The Triangle's Premier Professional Theatre
Category: Chapel Hill Theatre in North Carolina
Description of this Chapel Hill Activity: PlayMakers Repertory Company was founded in 1976 by Tom Hass, Artistic Director, and Arthur Houseman, Executive Producer. As a member of the League of Resident Theatres, PlayMakers employs members of Actors\\\' Equity Association, members of United Scenic Artists Association; and members of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers.
PlayMakers has a three-fold mission: 1) to engage our community in an ongoing exploration of the nature and significance of theatre in contemporary life; 2) to investigate the theatrical event and the methods used for its realization in performance; and 3) to nurture succeeding generations of artists and audiences to continue our work.
PlayMakers Repertory Company's major contribution to the art form has been in nurturing young American artists - actors, directors, and designers - capable of creative work in a broad stylistic range of contemporary and classical theatre. The company has also provided a creative home where seasoned artists can extend the range of their work. Young actors such as Michael Cumpsty, Kathryn Meisle, Joseph Haj, Bernard Addison, Fred Weller, and Sharon Lawrence have begun their professional careers here, and the company has contributed to the development of such emerging directors as Bartlett Sher, John Rando, Drew Barr, Michael Wilson, and Charles Newell. In addition, such seasoned performers as Eva Marie Saint, Kathleen Nolan, Judd Hirsch, Jonathan Bolt, Tandy Cronyn, DeAnn Mears and Trezana Beverley and directors such as John Rando, Daniel Fish, Nagle Jackson, John Dillon, Kent Paul, Tazewell Thompson, and Loretta Greco have taken on new creative challenges with our company and contributed to the atmosphere of artistic growth which we strive to maintain. Among the seasoned designers who have contributed to our ongoing work are Narelle Sissons, Bill Clarke, Robert Wierzel, M.L. Geiger, and Robert Brill, while we have nurtured the development of younger artists such as Patrick Holt, Todd Campbell, and Walt Spangler. International guest artists have included directors Laszlo Marton from Budapest and Mark Wing-Davey from London, designers Michael Levine and Victoria Wallace from Toronto and playwrights Simon Bent and Nick Stafford from London.
Our seasons have regularly featured exciting realizations of classics and lesser-known works by such writers as Shakespeare, Shaw, Wilde, Sheridan, Gay, Rostand, Ostrovsky, Chekhov, Beaumarchais, Coward, Ibsen, O\\\'Neill, Williams, and Miller. The repertoire is balanced each season with works by such contemporary playwrights as Donald Margulies, David Auburn, Margaret Edson, Romulus Linney, Lyle Kessler, Christopher Durang, Eric Overmyer, Barbara Lebow, Lee Blessing, Craig Lucas, Richard Nelson, and Edward Albee. In the 2003-2004 season, PlayMakers produced two American premieres: A Prayer for Owen Meany, a play for the stage by Simon Bent adapted from the novel by John Irving, and Nick Stafford\\\'s Luminosity. New plays developed and produced by PlayMakers include Sunrise in My Pocket: The Comical, Tragical, True History of Davy Crockett by Edwin Justus Mayer, adapted by Jeffrey Hayden, Constant Star by Tazewell Thompson, The Death of Papa by Horton Foote, For Lease or Sale by Elizabeth Spencer, The Guiteau Burlesque by Dick Beebe, Life on the Mississippi by Bland Simpson and Tommy Thompson of The Red Clay Ramblers, Mobile Hymn by Robert Litz, Sherman, the Peacemaker by James Reston, Jr., Threads by Jonathan Bolt, The Nutcracker: A Play by David Hammond, and Beauty and the Beast by To
