The Living Room for Artists exists to both fuel the growth of emerging theatre artists and encourage people of all ages to create and enjoy the live theatre experience. Its annual commitment to emerging theatre artists of all disciplines is represented in open calls for writers, directors, producers, stage managers and designers to work on the Summer Play Festival. It has also partnered with The Donmar Warehouse in creating The Donmar Warehouse Residency Program, a yearly program that provides an opportunity for Festival writers to spend three weeks in residency at London’s famed theatre, where their plays are given a reading. In addition, its relationships with theatre companies in the United States and Europe are being expanded to create opportunities of work, collaboration and networks in New York and throughout the world.
Famous quotes containing the words living, room and/or artists:
“The legacies that parents and church and teachers left to my generation of Black children were priceless but not material: a living faith reflected in daily service, the discipline of hard work and stick-to-itiveness, and a capacity to struggle in the face of adversity.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
“Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A really great poet is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
