SUMMARY:ATCA Connects | A Conversation with the Goodman Theatre's Robert Falls
DESCRIPTION:Robert Falls \nThis summer\, Robert Falls will be stepping down as artistic director of the Goodman Theatre after more than three decades. We’ve got questions. Join us Tuesday April 19\, 2022 at 8pm Eastern. \nFrom his early days with Wisdom Bridge Theatre through his epic production of “2666” to his bold video/hybrid pandemic production of Adam Rapp’s “The Sound Inside\,” Falls has been a groundbreaking theater artist. Under Falls’ leadership\, the Goodman Theatre produced bold work\, opened its stages to other regional companies and created innovative development programs. \nATCA member Lou Harry will lead a conversation about the evolution of the Goodman and the challenges of taking shows to Broadway (where Falls won a Tony for his “Death of a Salesman” and directed the hit “Aida”). Attendees will gain insight into Falls’ work with legends such as Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Miller\, learn about his long-time artistic partnerships with playwright Rebecca Gilman\, actors Brian Dennehy and Stacy Keach\, and others\, and find out what’s next for one of American theater’s leading creatives. \nATCA Connects events are free for ATCA members to attend. Registration (purchasing a free ticket) is required. \nSuccessful ticket purchasers will receive two emails. One is the purchase receipt and will have the subject line “Your American Theatre Critics Association order is now complete” and the second with the subject line “Your ticket from American Theatre Critics Association” will include the session Zoom link. (If you do not receive the ticket email and you have purchased a free ticket\, contact webmaster Martha Wade Steketee.) \nA video of the event will be posted to the ATCA YouTube channel and the ATCA Facebook page at a later date. \nOPEN TO MEMBERS ONLY

SUMMARY:ATCA Connects | A conversation with playwright Paula Vogel
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, Feb. 15\, 2022 at 8 p.m. EST for a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel\, hosted by ATCA member Wendy Rosenfield. \nPaula Vogel \nVogel’s play “Indecent” was nominated in 2017 for an outstanding play Tony Award. Her Pulitzer Prize-winning play “How I Learned to Drive” opens on Broadway in April 2022 with the same three leading actors and director as when it premiered 25 years ago off-Broadway. \nThe pandemic pause has given Vogel the chance to work on a wave of projects\, including producing a dozen works on-line by other playwrights in the “Bard at the Gate” project for the McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton\, New Jersey. She wrote her first memoir\, “Travels Without Carl\,” based on her cross-country road trip when she visited women’s bars through the Deep South and West\, following the death of her brother from AIDS in 1988. \nShe has continued her playwriting workshops online\, including a new one for veterans. Vogel\, an acclaimed playwriting professor\, mentor and theatrical guru — with many of her students going on to earn Pulitzer Prizes and Tony Awards of their own — is also halfway through a book on the art of playwriting. \nWendy Rosenfield \nIn conversation with Vogel will be Wendy Rosenfield\, the former editor-in-chief of Broad Street Review. Rosenfield was a theater critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer from 2006-2017\, and was theater critic for the Philadelphia Weekly from 1995 to 2001. Follow her on Twitter @WendyRosenfield. \nThis event is free for ATCA members to attend\, but purchasing a free ticket is required. The Zoom link will be sent to registrants by return email.

SUMMARY:ATCA Connects | A BEID Regional Theater Case Study
DESCRIPTION:COVID afforded theaters an opportunity to pause and re-evaluate their policies\, procedures and productions. For Raleigh Little Theatre\, that meant re-examining their annual production of CINDERELLA. What happened next is a testament to what happens when you engage the community in conversation\, listen\, and commit to creating a safe space for all. It is a case study of how one theater addressed and embraced Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion\, and may provide a model for other organizations struggling to do the same. \nThis panel discussion is organized by the ATCA Belonging\, Equity\, Inclusion & Diversity Committee. RLT Executive Director Heather Strickland and Artistic Director Patrick Torres will be in conversation with LGBTQIA Advocate Candis Cox. ATCA Executive Committee member Lauren Van Hemert moderates. \nJoin us on Facebook or register to join us on Zoom for a lively discussion. \nThis is part of a series of ATCA events designed to be for critics\, by critics. Featuring ATCA members as panelists and moderators\, these events will be free\, informal and geared toward working arts writers.
