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:
“Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master. I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world.”
—Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922–1978)
“Make room, Roman writers, make room for Greek writers; something greater than the Iliad is born.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
“of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
and we still have to stare into the absence
of men who would not, women who could not, speak
to our life—this still unexcavated hole
called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
