“Tear Up the Front Page” Takes to the Road - March 19, 2008

Corrupt corporations, scheming politicians and co-opted journalists... It’s not tomorrow’s headlines, it’s the world of “Tear Up the Front Page,” a play from TAPIT/new works. Join us Saturday, April 5, at 8:00 PM, TAPIT/new works Studio Theater, 1957 Winnebago St., to send this pointed contemporary play on the road to Purdue University and a Wisconsin tour. Tickets are $10 at the door.

In a storm-ravaged city, a major political party plans its future while behind the scenes players manipulate information to make sure it’s the future they want. Inspired by real events, this play tells the story of a journalist led astray by practicing business as usual. In a world of spin and counter-spin, it’s easy to lose your way and truth is one of the first things to disappear.

“Tear Up the Front Page” is written by TAPIT/new works producing artistic director Danielle Dresden and directed by Pete Rydberg. The play features actors John Gustafson, Matt Schrader, TAPIT/new works producing artistic director Donna Peckett and Dresden.

The voice and work of cartoonist P.S. Mueller have cameo roles in this production, with Mueller playing the part of John Doe, a political cartoonist. Hannah Murray is the “Tear Up the Front Page” costume designer. Steppe is stage manager and technician. Michael Duffy created the wall hangings based on quotes from state-wide listening sessions conducted with Wisconsin residents during the Fall of 2006.

The fully accessible TAPIT/new works Studio Theater, at 1957 Winnebago Street, will be transformed into a 21st century newsroom, as well as the halls of power and more.

TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater was established in 1985 to develop and perform new theater productions.

“Source Code: Candide”  in San Miguel de Allende Biblioteca Publica - February 25, 2008

Roll over, Voltaire. 

“Source Code: Candide,” a satirical play for today running March 26 – 30 at the Biblioteca Publica in San Miguel de Allende, offers a new take on the book you don’t remember reading in school. 

Where a foolish optimism, proclaiming this was “the best of all possible worlds,” was the focus of Voltaire’s comic novel, Candide, this award-winning play from TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater tackles fundamentalists of all stripes.

“Source Code: Candide” a two-act play written by Danielle Dresden, takes audiences on a wild ride through the carnival of contemporary “isms” as they follow Candide from his innocent beginnings through hilarious and hair-raising adventures in Afghanistan, Florida, Iraq, Las Vegas and a vegetarian coffeehouse in Minnesota.

“Source Code: Candide” is inspired by Voltaire’s classic satire of the faiths and foibles of his time, with an equally fierce and funny approach to our era.  Like Voltaire’s original character, this Candide is motivated by love.  He’s enamored of Betty, a co-worker at Barron’s T 3, a Fundamentalist conglomerate.  Vertically-integrated and producing everything from Bibles to bombs, Barron’s T 3 has just developed a source code so advanced it can force any system into compliance.

When Betty and Candide tentatively kiss, they drop the source code, alarms go off and Candide’s adventures kick into high gear.  The pursuit and loss of the source code, along with the vagaries of the human heart, propel the madcap action of the plot.

The production, directed by Jeanne Leep, features an original score by Diane Monroe, sets and visuals by Michael Duffy, costumes by Donna Breslin and sound design by Stephanie Wild.  The cast includes Donna Peckett, who acts and tap dances, Nelson Zane Eisman, Sam White and Dresden.  Talk-backs will follow selected performances.

TAPIT/new works is a performing arts organization established by producing artistic directors Donna Peckett and Danielle Dresden in 1985 to create and produce original theater.  This ensemble theater has developed and mounted 25 productions, touring and conducting residencies across the United States and abroad.

“Source Code: Candide” has a fresh approach to the book you don't remember reading in school, taking audiences on a hilarious ride through the carnival of contemporary “isms,” from Candide's innocent beginnings with a faith-based multi-national corporation to the deserts of Iraq and a vegetarian coffeehouse in Minnesota.

This satirical play for today is full of absurd situations, disguises, revelations of characters, and physical comedy.  Where a foolish optimism, proclaiming this was “the best of all possible worlds,” was the focus of the original Candide, this play takes on fundamentalists of all stripes. 

TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater, a 23-year-old Madison-based performing arts organization, tours throughout the United States and abroad.  This year has gotten off to a busy start for the Company, with a January-February tour to Canada of their “Garden Party” comedy and the upcoming week of performances of “Source Code: Candide” in San Miguel de Allende in March.

A Different Kind of Belly Laugh - November 21, 2006

Will it be latkes and lentils?  Spaghetti sauce and sour cream?  One thing’s for sure, humor will definitely be on the menu when “The Girls From Building B” comes to Bunky’s Café, at 2827 Atwood Avenue, for “A Mediterranean Chanukah” on Sunday, December 17 at 6 pm.

“A Mediterranean Chanukah” is a uniquely Madison sort of dinner theater, combining the energies of TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater and Bunky’s Café.  Teresa Pullara, who runs the east side eatery with her husband, Rachid Ouabel, enjoys offering her customers a side order of entertainment to compliment their Italian-Mediterranean cuisine.  She brings in area belly dancers on a regular basis and has twice presented TAPIT’s “Garden Party,” a comedy for gardeners both casual and crazed.

“The Girls From Building B,” one of TAPIT’s most successful productions, has toured from Florida to Ohio and throughout Wisconsin, playing venues ranging from a 3,000-seat theater to Madison’s Overture Center to a showmobile.

To celebrate Chanukah this year, in the intimate setting of Bunky’s Café, TAPIT will present selected scenes from this comedy about life as it is lived – and commented on – in a Miami Beach apartment complex.

Based on interviews in Madison and Florida, “The Girls From Building B” celebrates the spirit of the Greatest Generation.  Through comic scenes, song and tap dance, we see how these older adults make a way of life for themselves, despite the challenges of advancing age, uncooperative children, tricky digestive tracts and the threat of their building going condo.

The performance, directed by Sarah Whelan, will feature actor Nelson Zane Eisman, recent Wisconsin Green Party gubernatorial candidate, pianist and composer Jane Reynolds and TAPIT/new works’ producing artistic directors, Donna Peckett and Danielle Dresden.

Courses will alternate with comedy, music and tap dance as “A Mediterranean Chanukah” unfolds.  Rumor has it that Dresden, the play’s author, will even try to include a game of dreidel in the evening’s entertainment.

"Who's That Lady?" Premieres - March 4, 2004

Think of it as sketch comedy, with a twist and a tap.

It's "Who's That Lady?", the latest theater piece from TAPIT/new works, running Thursdays through Sundays, March 4-7 and 11-14, at the TAPIT/new works Studio Theater at 1957 Winnebago St.

In the style of the great television comedy variety shows of yesteryear, like "Your Show of Shows," this production mixes comic scenes, monologues, song and tap dance. An "I Love Lucy" leitmotif runs through the show, linking scenes about commercials, gaydar, business and latent brides.

"Who's That Lady?" takes a comic look at contemporary society, but this time around the women speak for themselves. This production features Lynda Sturner, the artistic director of the Provincetown Repertory Theater Company on Cape Cod, as a writer, actor and director.

An equal opportunity production, "Who's That Lady?" also features a piece by James Dalgleish, Sturner's male colleague from Provincetown. This collaborative project grows out of TAPIT/new works efforts to develop a national network of working artists committed to the development of new works.

TAPIT/new works associate director Danielle Dresden authored several scenes and performs in the show as well. TAPIT/new works associate director Donna Peckett contributes her unique approach to tap dance, combining hoofing with humor in vignettes on cooking, medical tests and Anne Sexton's poetry.

Giuliana Miolo rounds out the cast. Tara Ayres is assistant director and has several cameos as the "Stage Manager." Original music for the production is by Ty Kroll and sets, special properties and other visual elements are by Angela Richardson. Donna Breslin, a former Madisonian now based in Washington, D.C. is the costume designer.

"Who's That Lady?" runs for two weekends, March 4-7 and 11-14, with performances at 7:30 pm Thursdays, 8 pm Fridays, 2 pm and 8 pm Saturdays and 2 pm Sundays. Tickets are $12 on Thursdays and $14 for all other shows. Please call TAPIT/new works at 244-2938 for information and reservations, or visit our website at www.tapitnewworks.org.

"One Wall Missing" Premieres - September 2003

America has been attacked, suspicion is the name of the game and the search for safety threatens to become a hunt for scapegoats.....

Is it the dawn of the McCarthy era or the 21st century? "One Wall Missing," the latest play from TAPIT/new works, explores the links between our past and present security concerns.

Opening in the Marquee Room of the Madison Civic Center, "One Wall Missing" will run Thursday - Saturday, November 6,7,8, at 8 pm, with a matinee on Saturday, November 8, at 2 pm. Special matinees for high school students are scheduled Wednesday-Friday, November 5-8 at 10:00 AM.

The play, written by Danielle Dresden, weaves together the story of newcomers moving into the ready-made comfort of a New Urbanist subdivision and the Fifties era tale of a refugee physicist. As contemporary characters react to the arrest of an unseen Arab neighbor, and the Jewish physicist is brought in for questioning, audiences discover the surprising political and personal links between yesterday and today.

Directed by Jo Scheder, "One Wall Missing" features a score by acclaimed violinist Diane Monroe from Philadelphia, with recorded taps by Donna Peckett and costumes by Washington, DC-based Donna Breslin. Nelson Eisman performs along with Peckett and Dresden in the production.

For reservations, call the Madison Civic Center Box Office at (608) 258-4141.

"One Wall Missing" explores how what we shut out shapes us, from the private consequences of history to exclusion practiced in the name of safety. There's lots to talk about here and TAPIT/new works has created many opportunities for community members to join in the discussion.

TAPIT/new works will offer a series of outreach sessions combining excerpts from "One Wall Missing" with panel presentation and audience discussion. The panelists, Mary Layoun, an Arab-American, professor of Comparative Literature at UW-Madison; Sam White, of the Wisconsin Army National Guard; Angie Hougas, an activist with Amnesty International ; and Robert Kimbrough, a retired UW-Madison English professor and political activist; all discuss issues raised by the play from their perspective.

The outreach sessions are as follows:

• Saturday, October 11, 2:00 pm, Kraemer Library, Plain, Wisconsin
• Sunday, October 12, 6:00 pm, Deerfield Lutheran Church
• Monday, October 13, 6:00 pm, UW Whitewater

• Saturday, October 25, 1:30 pm, Canterbury Booksellers
• Saturday, November 1, 10:00 am, Spring Green Public Library.

Further Steps on a "Soul Journey" - February 2003

At first, the topic "Madness and Arts" might sound like something from the Department of Redundancy Department.

But TAPIT/new works will reveal the many facets of the issue on Sunday, March 16, at 4 pm at the Barrymore Theatre, with a special performance of "Soul Journey," followed by a panel discussion.

Nearly 17 million Americans suffer from clinical depression. "Soul Journey" tells the true story of Madison-based vocalist, Lynette Margulies, who beat the odds and learned to transcend her illness. The production shows there is life, laughter and joy after depression.

“ Soul Journey” uses song, monologues, tap dance, and comic scenes to tell Lynette’s story, a tale full of humor and heart.

Following the performance, writer Star Olderman, therapist Mare Chapman and sociologist Amber Ault will discuss the issues of art, women and mental health from artistic, healing and socio-political perspectives. Audience members will have plenty of opportunity to join in the discussion, too.

TAPIT/new works assembled this blend of performance and discussion to mark Women's History Month, and to ready the Company for a major tour date -- three performances of “Soul Journey” at the First International Festival of Madness and Arts in Toronto, Canada, March 24-29.

Joining groups from more than six countries, TAPIT/new works associate directors, Donna Peckett and Danielle Dresden, will also participate in panel discussions, with Lynette Margulies conducting a vocal workshop.

“ Soul Journey” premiered in Madison in 1998 and went on to successful productions at the Madison Civic Center and in Chicago at the annual meeting of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill.

Song is Lynette’s medium, and this vocalist, who has connected with audiences from Vienna, Austria to New York City’s Lincoln Center, uses music in "Soul Journey" to convey her pain and the strength she found to see her through.

“ Soul Journey” deals directly with depression, yet it has laughs, too. The comedy stems from portrayals of social attitudes towards mental illness, such as a meeting of Over-Achievers Anonymous and a visit to the self-help grocery store.

Tap dance, by award-winning choreographer Donna Peckett, adds a rhythmic, emotional counterpoint. Monologues and comic scenes by award-winning playwright Danielle Dresden supply narrative structure and social comment.

Musician and composer Jane Reynolds brings her elegant passion and precision to the music. The story of one person can illuminate the lives of many, and director Sarah Whelan deftly combines these elements to show the heart, humor, humanity and hope revealed for us all.

The Madison performance and discussion was funded, in part, by a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council, with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the State of Wisconsin; and the Neil Allen Peckett Memorial Fund.

Tickets are $14. Call the Barrymore Box office at (608) 241-8633 for reservations, or check out their web site at www.barrymorelive.com for information on ticket purchasing and outlets. Call TAPIT/new works at (608) 244-2938 for information about the production.

Diagnosis Humor - "Syncopated Syndromes" Premieres - October 2002

Laughter is the best medicine, as they say, and TAPIT/new works promotes this prescription in its new production, "Syncopated Syndromes," running November 8-23.

"Syncopated Syndromes" takes a satiric look at the symptomatic side of modern life.

This new play features an original score by Jim Schwall, cartoons by P.S. Mueller, in-door kites from Marc Ricketts of Guildworks, tap dance by Donna Peckett and script by Danielle Dresden.

Post show talk-backs will be hosted by Dr. Zorba Paster, family physician and co-host of Public Radio International's Zorba Paster on Your Health.

The plot concerns Shelly Simon, a woman who's had about every symptom you could name -- and then some. But she's getting a handle on her health and has written a book -- "Our Bodies, Someone Else's" -- to describe her struggle and inspire others. Shelly and her book may just be the Next Big Thing, but will she and her colleagues, Dr. Adam Webster and Natalie Petit, be able to withstand the pressure?

TAPIT/new works is a Madison-based performing arts organization, founded in 1985 and touring throughout the United States and abroad. Danielle Dresden and Donna Peckett, an award-winning playwright and award-winning choreographer respectively, are associate directors of the Company.

Mueller's cartoons are seen in Isthmus and regional and national publications. He has contributed set pieces for two prior TAPIT/new works plays.

WAM! Project Bursting Into Bloom - April 28, 2002

Even with this year’s wacky weather, spring is a time for blossoms.

The WAM! Project will fit right in. WAM stands for “Words and Art in Motion” and, starting April 29, the six children participating in this nine-month project will offer 11 performances of a work that’s been germinating for some time.

The flowering of The WAM! Project is a 40-minute show, combining dance, rap, readings and gymnastics. All elements of the show -- the writings, the movement, the backdrop and their costume T-shirts -- were developed by the participating children through a series of workshops with professional artists.

Their writings explore issues like big and small, different ways to be strong and bullying. They dance to modern funk and Aretha Franklin. In one piece, they perform Cholly Atkins’ original choreography for The Temptations in “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.”

The WAM! Project was coordinated by TAPIT/new works and made possible by Pleasant Company’s Fund for Children. Starting in the fall of 2001, children worked on dances with choreographer and TAPIT/new works associate director Donna Peckett. They developed a script for their show through creative writing with playwright and TAPIT/new works associate director Danielle Dresden. Visual artist Lou Ann Erickson Petersen helped participants create a backdrop, special props and T-shirt design.

Now they’re taking their show on the road. They will perform at schools and community centers throughout Madison and in Mount Horeb. They will also be part of the Madison Civic Center’s Children’s Arts Festival, May 18. Please see the attached schedule for more details

The WAM! Project offers talented children from diverse socio-economic backgrounds access to an in-depth arts experience they might not otherwise have enjoyed. Performances of their work show children of all backgrounds that the arts offer everyone opportunities for enjoyment and self-expression.

TAPIT/new works collaborated with the Atwood Community Center, Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center and the Transition Education Program to select children to participate in the WAM! Project.

All children in The WAM! Project had been involved in previous TAPIT/new works residencies.

The WAM! PROJECT is made possible, in part, by support from Pleasant Company’s Fund for Children, the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the state of Wisconsin, the Atwood Community Center, Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center and volunteers from the Madison Metropolitan School District.

Call TAPIT/new works, at 244-2938, for more information about The WAM! Project. TAPIT/new works creates and produces multi-disciplinary theater and promotes the art of tap dance. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, the Company was established in 1985 and tours throughout the United States and Europe. Connecting with audiences of all ages and backgrounds is a key part of The Company’s mission.

“The Girls From Building B” Come Home - January 1, 2002

Better get ready. Alert the grandchildren and stash the Sweet ‘n’ Low. “The Girls From Building B” are coming home.

You could call them a different sort of snowbird, because although their story began in Miami Beach, it first came to life in Madison, Wisconsin.

“The Girls From Building B” is a new play mixing comedy with music and tap dance to celebrate life as it is lived, and commented on, in Miami Beach. After a highly successful debut at the Madison Civic Center, in December, 2001, this TAPIT/new works production is on the road.

TAPIT/new works, based in Madison, Wisconsin, was founded in 1985 to develop new theater work. The Company tours throughout the United States and Europe.

Through comic scenes, song and tap dance in “The Girls From Building B,” we see how older adult residents of a Miami Beach apartment complex defend their way of life, despite the challenges of advancing age, uncooperative children, tricky digestive tracks and the threat of their building going condo.

It’s fitting the first tour date is Miami, because that’s where it all began. The script for “The Girls From Building B,” by award-winning playwright Danielle Dresden, is based on interviews conducted with older adults in the greater Miami area.

Directed by Sarah Whelan, the production features the song stylings of Lynette Margulies, a jazz diva with a penchant for Hebrew music. Jane Reynolds, composer and music director for the show, brings her impeccable grace to the keyboard. Award-winning choreographer Donna Peckett contributes her inimitable tap dance, at once comic and poignant.

Dresden and Peckett play “The Girls From Building B,” as well as their off-spring and assorted daughters-in-law. They are joined by actor Nelson Zane Eisman, who plays one of the few men in the complex, as well as a son who still needs to prove he’s grown up and a waiter who guards the Sweet ‘n’ Low with his life.

Technical director, Joseph Muenich, adds a vibrant on-stage presence with his snappy cameos. Visual artist Lou Ann Erickson Petersen designed the set. Costumes are by Washington, DC based designer, Donna Breslin.

Performances of “The Girls From Building B” are set for 3 pm, Sunday, March 24, and 7 pm, Monday, March 25, in the Social Function Room of Center Building, Ocean View Apartments at 19380 Collins Avenue (at 193rd St) in North Miami Beach .

Tickets are $10. Please call Lee Liebman at 305-932-9713 for reservations.

“The Girls From Building B” tour is made possible, in part, by support from the Purple Moon Foundation and the Neil Allen Peckett Memorial Fund.
