André De Shields, Theatre God • The Broadway veteran, still kicking in ‘Hadestown,’ has blazed a path so that others may follow
ROLE CALL: PEOPLE TO KNOW • For this special expanded edition of American Theatre’s monthly Role Call column, which lifts up theatre workers of all conceivable job descriptions, recommended by colleagues who think they should be on your radar, we decided to place our focus exclusively on veterans who’ve spent decades of hard work in the trenches of the American theatre, and in many cases are now passing on the lessons they’ve learned to succeeding generations in both formal and informal teaching environments. We hope you’ll find, as we did, that their experiences and examples have tremendous intrinsic value in themselves, but also that they offer great teaching value as well.
The Business of ‘Carol’ • More than a mere box-office cash cow, Dickens’s classic is a community builder, a gateway drug, and a holiday tradition
The Art of the Comeback • What Arkansas Rep learned after it suspended operations last year and turned itself around
Devising German Democracy • Berlin’s Gorki Theater is at the forefront of an urgent international dialogue about diversity, immigration, and human rights
Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp.
Cathedrals Made of Bricks • To introduce this month’s playscript, Caryl Churchill’s new four-play collection Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp., we’re publishing a version of a speech playwright Lucy Kirkwood (The Children, Chimerica) gave at the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain in January when it bestowed its highest award on Churchill.
