Earlier this season, Amanda Card-McCoy took on one of the three roles in the Tennessee Women's Theater Project's Secrets of a Soccer Mom, earning good reviews while impressing TWTP artistic director Maryanna Clarke, who has raved about her talent and her work ethic. The Nashville native got her professional start at Nashville Children's Theatre and she counts Nashville theatre stalwarts David Alford, Brenda Sparks, Denice Hicks and Matt Carlton as among her role models - the folks who inspired her to pursue her career in the theatre. Last weekend, Amanda took the time to answer our questions and to give readers at Nashville.BroadwayWorld.com a glimpse into her 'Life in the Theatre.'
Today, in honor of the DVD release of Rob Marshall's film version of the 1982 Tony-winning Best Musical NINE, Maury Yeston was gracious and generous enough to grant me a few hours in which I could ask him intimate questions about his life, career and the future of theatre itself. Not one to mince words, Yeston is a veritable font of knowledge and it became clear during the interview that he may be as gifted and talented in his educational and mentorship skills as he is as a two-time Tony-winning composer and lyricist. His stage musicals include two Tony-winning Best Musicals, NINE and TITANIC, as well as: IN THE BEGINNING, GRAND HOTEL, PHANTOM, and the forthcoming DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY, as well as a full-length ballet of TOM SAWYER premiering later this year. From the handwritten letter sent by Katharine Hepburn to Frederico Fellini after seeing the workshop of NINE thirty years ago to this very day when NINE hits DVD, we will take a look at this magnanimous maestro's starry career in this inaugural InDepth InterView. Enjoy!
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie asks what will happen if you do just that. The short answer is that the mouse will continue asking for things, have a lot of fun, and in the process destroy your house. But along the way, this children's theater production currently playing on the Arden Theatre Company's Arcadia Stage teaches a good lesson about cause and effect. The play is based on the beloved children's book written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. On stage, two actors bring the story to life with all of its hilarious antics and the addition of physical comedy.
You may know her from Broadway's recent revival of The Seagull. Or, Come Back, Little Sheba. Or the feature films 'Revolutionary Road' with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, 'It's Complicated' with Meryl Streep and Alex Baldwin, 'The Valley of Elah,' 'Me and Orson Welles'...the list goes on. True, she does bear the famous last name (grandfather is Elia Kazan), but Zoe is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and diverse up-and-comers in entertainment, and can currently be found every night at the Shoenfeld Theatre starring alongside Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell and Anthony Mackie in Martin McDonough's A Behanding in Spokane, directed by John Crowley.
