So, to clarify. This is not a basement-no-royalties-production. As I'm sure you're all aware (or maybe you're not) there is a maximum number of weeks before a production that MTI will send out materials. I have been able to read the libretto, but have not seen the back appendix which houses audience instructions, a list of scenarios, and suggested words and definitions. I am simply trying to do my director homework and be as prepared and studied as possible. That's all. No illegalities or con...

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I am directing a production of SPELLING BEE at a university here in New York later in the year. I have been able to locate all the materials to start preparing, however there is an appendix in the back of the script which has information on audience participation scenarios as well as a suggested list of words, definitions and sentences. I have not been able to find it anywhere. If anyone has it, or could point me in the right direction it would be GREA...

I believe they have just had some kind of sexual relation, and as best as I can remember they are eating grapes as well.

This scene, in Wedekind's original Spring's Awakening, is not terribly similar. Some of the dialogue has been pulled from the original piece, however there are actually many more homoerotic undertones in the original.

I meant *this* production got great reviews.

So I just posted it on the other off-broadway posting, but Martin Sherman's BENT is running at the 13th Street Repertory Company through November 29. The show really has something important to say, and I would think that this community would take a piece like that to its heart!
