The first three volumes in the TCG Oral History Project, Preserving the Legacy series, tells the story of the American not-for-profit theatre movement over the past 50 years through the eyes of some of its most noted practitioners. Each of the nine individuals served as the President of the board of directors of TCG, the national organization for theatre, during the past 40 years; and their stories become a microcosm of the field itself. As theatre in the U.S. moves further into the 21st century, it becomes increasingly urgent to document and celebrate the accomplishments and artistry of our past.These interviews offer insights into what it means to create a life in the theatre: their first encounter with theatre, their early careers, their heroes, the role of the artist and the future of theatre. This series provides rare access for the future generations to the legacy of the theatre movement in America.DVD features: Interviews are searchable by index topics. Complete interview transcripts can be downloaded and printed from a computer.

<p><p>This volume gathers sixty years of essays, speeches, and manifestos by the founding mother of the resident professional theatre movement. As a founder and artistic director of the flagship Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., and chair of New York University's Graduate Acting program, the late Zelda Fichandler changed the where and how of the American theatre. The Long Revolution gathers Fichandler's most prescient writing about that movement, ranging over such topics as The Institution as Art-Work, the Profit in NonProfit, Race and a Deepening Aesthetic, and Creativity and the Public Mind. It also includes intimate portraits of artists with whom she frequently collaborated and director's notes from the major productions that defined her vision. Celebrated as the defining architect and builder of the most sweeping transformation of twentieth-century American theatre, her brilliant writing reestablishes Fichandler as one of its most expansive and provocative thinkers.</p></p>
