Yale Rep on stages across the country
Yale Repertory Theatre’s production of Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters, adapted by Constance Congdon, directed by Christopher Bayes (head of physical acting at the drama school), and starring Steven Epp in the title role, has been delighting critics and audiences across the country since its run in New Haven in 2010. In the spring of 2012, the production played the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC, where it was recently nominated for three Helen Hayes Awards for outstanding director, lighting designer (Chuan-Chi Chan ’10MFA), and lead actor. The show closed out the year—and opened the new one—at Minneapolis’s Guthrie Theater before traveling back east for a two-week run at ArtsEmerson in Boston that ended on February 10.
Amy Herzog’s (’00, ’07MFA) critically acclaimed play Belleville, which was commissioned by Yale Rep through the Binger Center for New Theatre, made its New York debut February 12–March 31 at New York Theatre Workshop. Hailed by the New York Times as one of the top ten new plays of 2011 following its world premiere at Yale Rep that year, the production—again directed by Anne Kauffman—reunites original cast members Pascale Armand, Maria Dizzia, and Greg Keller (joined by Phillip James Brannon), as well as scenic designer Julia C. Lee ’12MFA and costume designer Mark Nagle ’12MFA. Kauffman will also direct a separate production of the play for Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company this summer.
