Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stage Left of Broadway This is fast-paced story of two talented New York women, Winnie and Bette. These two have been friends since childhood. The complicated relationship between these strong, self-reliant women begins to crumble as they both head out in opposite directions to pursue their exciting futures. Futures that are as different as their personalities. Winnie, who loves the theatre, knows the importance of bringing great plays to life. Plays that will not only entertain but heal. Through her eyes, what really goes on behind the scenes of this Black Theatre Ensemble is revealed. The constant struggle for funding, handling an exciting, quirky, cast of actors while trying to grow up, only makes Winnie more determined. While Winnie fights to keep her Theatre open, Bette chooses instead to climb the corporate ladder. For a Black woman in the 80s she is forced to use whatever and whoever is necessary for her to reach the next rung. Bettes single focus on being upwardly mobile blinds her at times. She fails to worry about who she hurts in the process. She insists that she knows best and refuses to listen to the people around her. Her life and career take a downward spiral toward an unavoidable nightmare that at the same time forces her to grow up and discover those who really love her. When the lives of these to amazing women collide again, old secrets and a series of misunderstandings test the true nature of their friendship. This cautionary tale of life, love and ambition remind us that sometimes the best things in this life are not at the top of the ladder or in the brightest of lights but are maybe just slightly Stage Left of Broadway.

Download or read book Mozart in the Jungle written by Blair Tindall and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir that inspired the two-time Golden Globe Award–winning comedy series: “Funny . . . heartbreaking . . . [and] utterly absorbing” (Lee Smith, New York Times–bestselling author of Guests on Earth). Oboist Blair Tindall recounts her decades-long professional career as a classical musician—from the recitals and Broadway orchestra performances to the secret life of musicians who survive hand to mouth in the backbiting New York classical music scene, where musicians trade sexual favors for plum jobs and assignments in orchestras across the city. Tindall and her fellow journeymen musicians often play drunk, high, or hopelessly hungover, live in decrepit apartments, and perform in hazardous conditions—working-class musicians who schlep across the city between low-paying gigs, without health-care benefits or retirement plans, a stark contrast to the rarefied experiences of overpaid classical musician superstars. An incisive, no-holds-barred account, Mozart in the Jungle is the first true, behind-the-scenes look at what goes on backstage and in the orchestra pit. The book that inspired the Amazon Original series starring Gael García Bernal and Lola Kirke, this is “a fresh, highly readable and caustic perspective on an overglamorized world” (Publishers Weekly).

Download or read book Blue-Collar Broadway written by Timothy R. White and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the scenes of New York City's Great White Way, virtuosos of stagecraft have built the scenery, costumes, lights, and other components of theatrical productions for more than a hundred years. But like a good magician who refuses to reveal secrets, they have left few clues about their work. Blue-Collar Broadway recovers the history of those people and the neighborhood in which their undersung labor occurred. Timothy R. White begins his history of the theater industry with the dispersed pre-Broadway era, when components such as costumes, lights, and scenery were built and stored nationwide. Subsequently, the majority of backstage operations and storage were consolidated in New York City during what is now known as the golden age of musical theater. Toward the latter half of the twentieth century, decentralization and deindustrialization brought the emergence of nationally distributed regional theaters and performing arts centers. The resulting collapse of New York's theater craft economy rocked the theater district, leaving abandoned buildings and criminal activity in place of studios and workshops. But new technologies ushered in a new age of tourism and business for the area. The Broadway we know today is a global destination and a glittering showroom for vetted products. Featuring case studies of iconic productions such as Oklahoma! (1943) and Evita (1979), and an exploration of the craftwork of radio, television, and film production around Times Square, Blue-Collar Broadway tells a rich story of the history of craft and industry in American theater nationwide. In addition, White examines the role of theater in urban deindustrialization and in the revival of downtowns throughout the Sunbelt.
