America Hurrah

Studio Connections
Tucson, AZ

Studio Connections presents America Hurrah, plays by Jean-Claude van Itallie. Winner of the Drama Desk Award and the Outer Circle Critics Award, the three short plays making up America Hurrah... was the watershed dramatic event of the sixties..
"Brilliant!" Harold Pinter
...a compelling image of American violence... an extension of our powers of envisaging ourselves." Newsweek.

Van Itallie was one of the original playwrights at Ellen Stewart's LaMama Experimental Theater Club. Playwright-of-the Ensemble of Joe Chaikin's Open Theater, van Itallie wrote THE SERPENT, arguably the most successful piece of ensemble theater by any theater group.

Van Itallie's classic translations of Chekhov (CHEKHOV, THE MAJOR PLAYS, Applause Books), prized by directors and actors for their clarity and subtle rhythms, are possibly the most performed Chekhov versions on the American stage.. "Best translations of Chekhov into English," Vitaly Voulff, pre-eminent Moscow critic.

Note: Please note: America Hurrah is performed at our NEW HOME - 4625 E. River Road (Swan at River), in the grounds of St. Francis in the Foothills.
