1933réf. 2559New York: Coward-McCann Inc. 1933. First Edition First Printing. An angry Depression-era play that chronicles the impoverishment of a factory worker's family and shines a spotlight on the corruption of the American financial and political systems. Brooks Atkinson The New York Times theatre critic called the play "a bristling indictment of the American political system." The New York Times January 23 1933 page 9. "We the People" premiered at the Empire Theatre in New York on January 21 1933. Rice himself directed the play which consisted of 20 scenes and featured more than 40 actors. While some critics dismissed the play as left-wing agitprop "We the People" was an important contribution to realism in the American theatre showing how working-class and middle-class people were brutalized and degraded in the Depression years. Rice wrote a number of dramas with left-wing themes and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929 for Street Scene about New York tenement life.

1955réf. 2089Tempo Playhouse Playbill Stein Gertrude and Jean Genet. Julie Bovasso and Cletus L. Gundy Present a Tempo Playhouse Production: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March": Selections From the First Reader and Jean Genet's "The Maids." New York: Tempo Playhouse 1955. A rare playbill for the first plays presented by Julie Bovasso's Tempo Playhouse in New York: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March: Selections From the First Reader" and Jean Genet's "The Maids." In fact this was the first production of "The Maids" in the United States. Both plays were directed by Strowan Robertson with sets and costumes by Lester Hackett. The 24-year-old Bovasso founded the theatre with $250 from the sale of a painting by her husband George Ortman. She rented an apartment at 4 St. Mark's Place in the East Village and built a small stage and a box office. See Stephen J. Bottoms "Playing Underground: A Critical History of the 1960s Off-Off-Broadway Movement" pages 37-38. The playbill doesn't give the opening date but a small item in The New York Times of March 10 1955 states the opening would take place on Saturday March 12. The Times also placed the location of the opening at Speyer Hall Playhouse 184 Eldridge Street which must have been a temporary venue. Bovasso played the role of Claire in "The Maids" which ran until mid-July 1955. The following year the Village Voice initiated the Obie Awards for Off-Broadway. Bovasso won the first Obie for Best Actress and Tempo Playhouse received a special citation that year. Bovasso's co-stars in "The Maids" were Joyce Henry as Solange and Fran Malis as Madame. Being the versatile actress that she was Bovasso also apparently played Solange at times. For the Stein production -- which was actually two plays: "In a Garden" and "Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters" -- the actors were Herbert King Philip Stanley Pitts Kit Raccoon Nancy Ponder Lucy Willow Anne Edwards Helen and Marcia Pavia Ellen. Just like playbills for the Living Theatre the Tempo playbill lists paintings and sculptures for sale at the theatre. Painters include Joan Mitchell Perle Fine Lois Dodd Angelo Ippolito Michael Goldberg Margaret Barlett George Ortman and Miles Forst and the sculptors Marisol Escobar and William King. This playbill is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings although a separate search turns up a copy at the University of Florida. RARE. PHYSICAL DETAILS: Octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches; 215 x 140 mm 8 pages in stapled wrappers. CONDITION: Some creases and folds but clean and unmarked. A Very Good or better copy. Tempo Playhouse paperback
1952réf. 2088New York: The Living Theatre 1952. First Edition First Printing. Small Quarto 9 1/8 x 6 inches; 230 x 155 mm 16 pages in stapled red wrappers printed on Japanese paper. Program for Paul Goodman's "Faustina" which opened at the Living Theatre on May 251952 starring Julie Bovasso as Faustina. Judith Malina directed and Julian Beck designed sets and costumes. This production was part of the first season at the Living Theatre's first permanent performance space at the Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village. The program includes a "portrait sketch" of playwright Paul Goodman by Laura Perls; "Notes on a Ritual Tragedy" by Judith Malina; and a full-page drawing by Larry Rivers for "A City Winter and Other Poems" by Frank O'Hara. There are also advertisements from local businesses especially bookstores and cafes; a list of paintings for sale by Julian Beck; and a list of sponsors which included John Cage Jean Cocteau Merce Cunningham Betty Parsons and other luminaries of the art and literary worlds. "Faustina" was an important milestone in Living Theatre history. The play's title refers to the wife of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. At the end of the play Faustina is supposed to step forward and chastise the audience for not leaping on stage and stopping a murder. However Julie Bovasso as Faustina felt this moment was pretentious and told the audience on opening night about her irritation. She quit the production after just a few performances. Stephen J. Bottoms Playing Underground: A Critical History of the 1960s Off-Off-Broadway Movement pages 25-26. Despite the controversy the speech "was the beginning of direct audience confrontation by the Living Theatre a technique used extensively in later productions." Theodore Shank American Alternative Theater pages 8-9. This program is notable for the use of stunning Japanese paper for the wrappers. OCLC shows only three institutional holdings at SUNY/Buffalo Syracuse and Michigan. RARE. CONDITION: Slight toning to the pages and bit of edge wear to the Japanese paper wrappers. A beautiful production. Near Fine. The Living Theatre paperback
