Presenting the Ivy’s very own bookseller Jim Magruder, in celebration of his impressive new book project The Play’s the Thing: Fifty Years of Yale Repertory Theatre (1966-2016)! David Yezzi will join Magruder to discuss this thoughtful chronicle, which shows how dozens of theater artists have played their parts in the evolution of a sterling American institution. Each of its four chapters is dedicated to one of the Yale Rep’s artistic directors to date: Robert Brustein, Lloyd Richards, Stan Wojewodski Jr., and James Bundy. More than just a valentine to an important American theater, The Play’s the Thing is a story about institution-building and the force of personality; about the tug-of-war between vision and realpolitik; and about the continuous negotiation between educational needs and artistic demands. |
