Ph.D. Program in Theatre

The Graduate Center City University of New York

Volume XIII (Updated) SP 2016

Welcome to the updated version of the thirteenth edition of our Alumni Revue!

This issue was created since it was decided to publish a new edition every other

year beginning with SP 2017. It once again expands our numbers and updates

existing entries. Thanks to all of you who returned the forms that provided us

with this information; please continue to urge your fellow alums to do the same

so that the following editions will be even larger and more complete.

For copies of the form, Alumni Information Questionnaire, please contact the

editor of this revue, Lynette Gibson, Assistant Program Officer/Academic

Program Coordinator, Ph.D. Program in Theatre, The Graduate Center, City

University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016-4309. You

may also email her at [email protected].

Thank you again for staying in touch with us. We’re always delighted to hear

from you!

Jean Graham-Jones Executive Officer

mailto:[email protected]

Hello Everyone:

his is the updated version of the thirteenth edition of Alumni Revue. As

always, I would like to thank our alumni for taking the time to send me

their updated information. I am, as always, very grateful to the

Administrative Assistants, who are responsible for ensuring the entries are

correctly edited.

The Cover Page was done once again by James Armstrong, maybe he should be

named honorary “cover-in-chief”. The photograph shows the exterior of

Shakespeare’s Globe in London, England and was taken in August 2012. It

depicts the reconstructed Globe Theater together with posters for that summer’s

season.

As stated in my emails to you, for the past two years we have had alumni events

near the end of the fall semester. We were happy that many of you attended

Marvin Carlson’s 80th birthday celebration at the beginning of the fall semester this

year. We will not be having a cocktail party before the end of the year, but we are

planning to hold a Graduate Center event for alumni sometime in the early spring

2016 semester. We promise to keep you informed.

We hope you enjoy this updated edition. Best regards.

Lynette C. Gibson Editor

THE GRADUATE UNIVERSITY CENTER

OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

From the Editorial and

Graphic Arts Assistants

James Armstrong: I hope everyone enjoys the cover this year, with a picture of one of my

favorite theatres! It’s always a pleasure to work on the Alumni Revue

and help people keep in touch with colleagues, new and old. The

breadth and depth of research being done by our graduates is truly

amazing.

Emily Clark: I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work on the Alumni Revue

throughout the years. As I move closer to completing my work, (it’s

within reach!), it’s exciting to learn about your successes. I cannot wait

to see what 2015 has in store for all of you!

Margit Edwards: This is my first year here in the department and working on the Alumni

Revue. What a wonderful experience it has been reaching out to our

dynamic Alumni and learning about their accomplishments. Through

the work I have done on the Alumni Revue I have been given a window

into the future. I hope you all enjoy this year’s edition.

Joseph Paul Hill: Last year I was in more direct contact with many of you because

I worked to collect many of the additions and edits to your

Alumni Revue entries. Although I have spent this year solely on

the editing side of the process, I am no less enthused about the

amazing things that our alumni do both in academia and in

alternative careers. My favorite part of each entry continues to

be “what you would most want your GC colleagues to know,”

and I am particularly fond of the tidbits of advice that some of

you have left in these notes. Thank you for those.

Bindi Kang: It was a pleasure to work on the Alumni Revue again. Reading

entries full of professional and personal success gives me hope

whenever I turn to the dark side and rail against the

impenetrable structures of the job market. I so wish that I could

have attended the Alumni Cocktail Party to celebrate and to

meet many of you.

Alison Walls: It has been so interesting, encouraging, and exciting to get a

glimpse of the impressive accomplishments and varied lives of

our alumni through working on the Alumni Revue. It was

especially nice to meet some of you in person at the Alumni

Cocktail Party. I’m pleased to see that other loves (food, wine,

animals) unite us, as well as theatre!

Hobbies, Community Service, Volunteer: Hobbies include films, drumming, the beach for downtime, travel, music, dancing, and horseback riding.

Community Outreach includes performance work at Long Beach Library for Women's History Month and Irish

Heritage. Community service includes: produced and performed as Blanche DuBois in a staged reading of A

Streetcar Named Desire with my company Mississippi Mud Productions at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in

Long Beach as a fundraiser for MLK, opposite Geoffrey Owens of “The Cosby Show” and Broadway's “Romeo

and Juliet” as Stanley Kowalski. I completed my certification in the Dustin Hoffman MasterClass for Acting, a

cutting edge virtual course, and I voluntarily organized the first ever New York City live meetup of actors in the

MasterClass so we could have a live working space to expand upon our virtual work, all sanctioned by

MasterClass. I was proud that I raised funds for Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit big cat sanctuary, from performances

of my original solo show I wrote and perform, Sharon Tate in Heaven. I adopted via the "adaption kits" Alex the

Tiger who paints with his paws and Ares the Puma, among others, to help six tigers, lions, and pumas in total, and

these sponsorships help the big cats with food and medical and daily care. With Mississippi Mud Productions and

as This American Blonde Actress I act, direct, produce, and teach, and with my solo show on Sharon Tate I

continue to give to charity for wild animals in the USA and around the world.


I was named after actress Jennifer Jones, who said “My mother taught me never complain, never explain.” I think it

is a great mantra. Achieve, be happy. My original solo show The Blonde Bombshell Project: Marilyn Monroe

(premiered in 2013 in New York City) was invited to Long Beach Public Library for a Project Hope supported by

grant funds. I also wrote and perform my original solo show Sharon Tate in Heaven about 1960s actress Sharon

Tate and have played it now in New York City, Lido Beach, and Los Angeles. In 2016 I go on tour with it for a

fourth time to Los Angeles, and also Florida and then New York for Earth Day. The show helps charity, including

Big Cat Rescue and newly this year, Mountain Lion Organization and select others that help wild cats, wolves, and

wild mustangs. My film for New Media version of the show, titled Sharon Tate in Heaven: Super 8, shot in

location in LA, will be released Christmas 2015 into 2016 in four episodes, and made available on YouTube and

Vimeo. I have performed in three New Media "Dailies" episodes with The Wooster Group, playing the lead part of

Paula (opposite Jim Fletcher of GATZ). Select acting projects include Nina in SeaGull69 (an original adaption by

Mud of Chekhov's The Seagull, set in LA in 1969), directed by Austin Pendleton; A Streetcar Named Desire

(Blanche, The Cherry Pit, NYC); Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Maggie Pollitt, NYC); and a solo show about actress

Vivien Leigh performed regionally and in New York. I am creating a new solo show about actress Michelle

Pfeiffer that will deal with acting, Hollywood, film and the arc of a career from teen to “MILF” as a woman star. It

will debut in March 2016 for Women's History Month at Long Beach Public Library. I teach and coach children,

teens, and adults for stage and TV/film acting (special shout out to Long Island actress Alex B. who booked two

national commercials and was accepted into the BFA program at Pace). I am teaching workshops and classes in

Acting and Acting for TV/Film by invitation from Artists in Partnership, and hosted by the City of Long Beach--

Youth and Family Services. This past summer I taught the newly launched The Craft of Acting and directed the

class showcase at North Shore Public Library in Shoreham-Wading River, Suffolk County, LI. In summer 2016, I

plan to share "Sharon Tate in Heaven" out at Wading River Congregational Church on Long Island, in the hamlet I

was raised in, for charity.

New Haven, CT 06520

Recent publications/papers: I am delighted that my “Small Planet” essay was reprinted in the Routledge

companion to Dramaturgy, edited by Magda Romanska. Also published in the spring

of 2014 was my entry on “Postdramatic Theatre” in the Oxford Encyclopedia of

Aesthetics, 2nd Edition. My article combining Age and Theater Theory,

“Estragement” (yes that is not a typo), developed from a PS19 paper delivered at

Stanford the previous summer, was published in a special issue of Performance

Research. In June of 2014, this essay was given the “Outstanding Article” of the year

award at this year’s ATHE conference in Montreal. I was a Faculty member of

Harvard’s Mellon School for Theater and Performance Research, where I gave a

lecture on dramatic Landscapes and taught a seminar. I gave papers at two conferences

in 2014, the first at the international Age conference in Galway, Ireland, the second at

the annual ASTR conference in Baltimore, on Ibsen and Ecology.

I will always be grateful for my theatre studies education at the CUNY Graduate Center in the 1970s, which gave

me mentors, colleagues, close friends, and a continuing joy in learning and teaching. I continue to mourn the loss

of my great mentor Daniel Gerould, whose teaching I have continued in my own variations at the Yale Drama

School. After 21 years there, however, I am retiring at the end of the Spring, 2015 term. Much as I have loved my

time at Yale, I need time to complete several writing projects. And after all, it is time for someone else to have the

job. ========================================================================================

Hobbies, Community Service, Volunteer: Swimming, gardening, and ballroom dancing; running a professional theatre company from 1997-2003.

What you would most want your GC colleagues to know: I taught Drama and English at several CUNY divisions, the last being Hunter College. After retiring in 1997, I

founded American Playwrights Theatre in NYC, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit small theatre company, where from

1997 to 2003 I produced Equity showcases of new American plays in midtown Manhattan, as well as numerous

staged readings at the NYC public library. In 2005, my husband and I moved to a large senior complex in

Massachusetts, where in 2006 I started The Linden Ponds Players, a troupe of actors I trained aged 60s to 90s.

From 2006 to 2012, I wrote, produced, and directed about 16 productions at our fully equipped 250-seat theatre, as well as at nearby senior centers. I also teach courses in our “Lifelong Learning Program” and occasionally

interview people on our in-house television show, “Live at Linden Ponds.” In late 2014, I started “The Readers

Theatre,” a monthly program of short play readings on our in-house TV station, (LPTV), which has wide

distribution among senior communities throughout the U.S. I’m putting together a book of my own one-acts about

seniors, plays that have already been produced in NYC and around the country.

What you would most want your GC colleagues to know: I retired from Ithaca College, in May 2012, having been there since Fall 1990. While there I taught Intro to Theatre

(the first 11 years), Theatre History (the whole time), Contemporary Developments in Theatre (since 2000), and the

occasional upper level seminars, the topics of which include Avant-Garde Theatre in Europe from 1880-1940,

Theatre in the U.S. between the Wars, and Minorities in American Theatre. One of my favorite courses was a

Humanities & Science Honors Seminar titled (rather tediously) A Tale of Two Theatrical Cities: Literary,

Performing & Visual Arts and the French Revolution, which I taught twice on the home campus and three times at

the Ithaca College London Center (ICLC). This course was inspired by the great seminar I had in 1999 at CUNY

with Marvin Carlson and Daniel Gerould (may that fine man rest in peace). When I taught the course at ICLC it

included a weekend in Paris and attendance at productions relating to the course and the Revolution, including the

English National Opera’s production of Dialogues of the Carmelites, the Royal Opera’s production of The

Marriage of Figaro, and the RSC revival of Marat/Sade. I have taken students to the Edinburgh Festival annually

since 2000 and strongly encourage students to study abroad, either at our London Center (ICLC) or any place they

desire. I taught at ICLC in Fall 2005, and in January 2007 gave myself a trip to Greece for my 60th birthday

present. My last year of teaching, 2011-12, was spent in residence at our London center, teaching the seminar on

the French Revolution and helping to plan the celebration for the 40th anniversary of ICLC, which was a great

success. I’ve been retired a year and a half now, and so far am spending it enjoying the beauty of the Upstate area

of South Carolina and the mountains of North Carolina, only about an hour’s drive away. I walk along the quaintly

titled but quite lovely Swamp Rabbit Trail every morning, and subscribe to three concert series of the Greenville

Symphony Orchestra, a group that surprised me with its excellence. In late September 2013 I took a two-week trip

to Spain (Madrid and Barcelona, with day trips to Avila, Segovia and Toledo)—my first trip abroad during

retirement. It was a fine way to start! Since then I have traveled about twice a year, spending three weeks in

I’d like to share a few stimulating memories of what the Ph.D. Theatre Program was like in 1970. We were a fierce

little group of dedicated students, most of whom had already slugged it out in such disparate worlds as advertising,

teaching and Off-Broadway Theatre (there was no Off-Off-Broadway; one “Off” was far enough away). The

Faculty was superb: people like Alois Nagler of Yale, Alan Downer of Princeton, Dan Gerould and Bernie Dukore.

I recall a fantastic course given by a distinguished classics Scholar from N.Y.U. (forgive me for having forgotten

his name) during which we spent the entire term studying Sophocles’ Antigone line by line! It really was

invigorating. After classes we’d go out into the night on West 42nd Street and mosey around the theatre district,

some of us hitting Hector’s Cafeteria, some the steak place on the south side of the street (grilled steak on a platter

for $1.69), and some even taking in free Broadway shows after the Intermissions. Incidentally, the waitresses at

Hector’s Cafeteria were mostly actresses who knew we were theatre students so they gave us the necessary

considerations on the bills. All in all, it was a glowing time! ===============================================================================

You can do a lot of good work with little stress if you learn to work moderately, yet steadily. For instance, write on

an article or book for at least fifteen minutes a day, and you will get work finished sooner than you think!

new directing venture). I have been invited to contribute a chapter to the Stanislavsky Companion, which will be

published by Routledge in 2013; the essay’s working title is “Stanislavsky, the System, and Women.” And I have

received a fellowship from the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin to spend a month

studying the Stella Adler archive. Highlights of the last year include seeing CUNY friends at ATHE, WTP, and

I am now retired and busily pursuing an active career in theatre and academia. I plan to have some adaptations

of Rousseau of plays presented soon and eventually published. My short play Visitation Rites was

presented in October 2010 at the Shortened Attention Span Horror Festival at the Players' Loft on MacDougal

Street, NYC. My short play Overalls w a s presented on Feb 23-26, 2011 at the Richmond Shepard

Theatre. Just completed the final draft of my full-length Melodrama ROEBLING'S DREAM, the story of the

building of the Brooklyn Bridge, to be presented as a staged reading in the Spring. Hope to have published my and my wife Kathleen Huber’s modern adaptations of and introductions to the Comedies of Jean-Jacques

Rousseau. Completed THE GETAWAY, an Enlightened Comedy in 2 Acts. ===================================================================

Teaching another round of fabulous graduate students this fall, 2013, in a class in both precarity (and post Operatist

political theory) and in object theory – as a response to 2012 issues of TDR and TJ. Great experience at PSi

conference this summer, and lots of nourishing performance and theatre here in NY this fall. Currently working on

articles for Theatre Research (Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument) and TDR (Tiresias by Heather Cassils),

and preparing for a seminar at ASTR for the Performance and Philosophy panel (also on Hirschhorn). Primary

research interest is currently in radical temporalities and performance, at the intersection of philosophy. Promotion

to Full Professor as of this fall, 2013, and a search for a much needed full-time tenure track colleague at the College

of Staten Island to be in place by Fall, 2014 are all good things. So is the return of my daughter Erin, from her year

in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, fluent in Swahili, for her senior year at Mt. Holyoke, where she is working on a thesis

and on a Fulbright application which she hopes will head her back to Africa after graduation. Joel is in a third year

at Person of Interest – also a good thing. And my son Naoise is doing his part to hold up the intellectual tradition

with two AP classes in his sophomore year of high school, as well as playing some serious soccer defense and

making his way through Don Quixote. ================================================================================ DDrr.. WWIILLLLIINNGGEERR,, DDaavviidd PP.. email: [email protected]

1 University Circle, 102A Browne Hall, Macomb, IL 61455

Artistic Director

Starry Night Repertory Theatre, P.O. Box 6, Macomb, IL 61455 Recent publications/papers: This last year I created a new honors course: American Dreams: Immigrant Stories on

the Stage. In preparing that course, I discovered a new research path into the great

store of dramatic literature on this subject and I hope to present on that subject at next

summer’s ATHE conference in Chicago. In addition to my research and teaching, I

have been active creatively. I directed A Flea in Her Ear and Shakespeare’s The

Tempest for Western Illinois University. For my own theatre company I directed

Vincent (a solo performance piece about Van Gogh), the charming comedy, Enchanted

April (in which I also played Mrs. Graves), and A Shakespeare Soirée. I wrote the

script for the Soirée, which showcased 6 actresses reading favorite speeches from

Shakespeare, as well as original commentary and projections of the great Juliets, Lady

Macbeth’s, and other major female characters Family: Spouse/Partner: Dan Woods, Artist/Actor



In my free time, I like to read and travel. My primary volunteer work is as a mentor to junior colleagues.


As always, I must acknowledge my appreciation for the CUNY Graduate program in Theatre. I still have such a

large circle of friends from my experiences there so many years ago. I only wish I were in New York to see the

great work being done at the Center and to network with other CUNY students and alums.
