By: BWW News Desk Dec. 05, 2006
Oskar Eustis, the Artistic Director of The Public Theater, Gregory Mosher, Director of the Columbia University Arts Initiative and former director of Lincoln Center and Goodman Theatres and Diane Borger, General Manager of The Royal Court Theatre, will form "The Role of Non-Profit Theatres in the Arts" panel for the December 5th Tuesday Talkback. This panel discussion will occur following the 8pm performance of My Name is Rachel Corrie, as part of its ongoing series.
Ny Name is Rachel Corrie is playing an extended limited run through December 30th.
The show was originally produced at London's Royal Court Theatre, where it opened in April 2005 and returned for an encore engagement in October 2005. In Spring 2006, it played for nine weeks at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End.
"Compiled from writings left behind in the diaries, letters and e-mails of American activist Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old protester who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza in 2003, My Name is Rachel Corrie chronicles the human, social and political evolution in the life and controversial death of a young woman." The play is edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner, in collaboration with the Royal Court Theatre's International Department and produced by Dena Hammerstein and Pam Pariseau for James Hammerstein Productions, with the kind permission of the Corrie family.
