Village Voice theatre critic and moderator Michael Feingold
Playwright Edward Albee,
Living Theater's Judith Malina,
and
La Mama's Ozzie Rodriguez
Tony Award-winning playwright Edward Albee, Obie Award winner and founder of the Living Theatre Judith Malina, and director of the archives of La Mama Experimental Theater Ozzie Rodriguez, will join in discussion with Village Voice theatre critic Michael Feingold.
This special panel discussion on the history of off-Broadway theatre brings together three of the leading lights of American theatre in what has become known as the birthplace of American theatre-the Provincetown Playhouse. The Playhouse, which was the first to present the work of Eugene O'Neill and others, was the site of the American debut of Albee's first play, The Zoo Story in 1960.
