Meet Hana!

Published by

Hi there! My name is Hana (she/her/hers) and I am the summer 2021 Marketing and Development Intern here at Primary Stages! I am a rising senior at Elon University in North Carolina pursing a double major in a B.F.A in Acting as well as a B.A. in Arts Administration with a minor in Business. I am originally from Westchester, New York and have been so fortunate to grow up being a quick train ride away from New York City and all it has to offer! As  the proud daughter of two immigrant parents from Morocco, I have loved exploring my culture and heritage and finding a place for it in the arts. I am a big believer in using the arts to expose ourselves to differing life experiences and stimulate conversation. 

I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the individuals at Primary Stages. I have always valued connecting with theatre audiences and arts communities to further their artistic experiences and foster new theatrical experiences. Primary Stages is the perfect place to explore these interests. Not only do they support playwrights in their process and promote the creation of new works, they encourage and educate emerging artists in their craft through their theatre education programs, ensuring the growth of theatre artists and a strong future for the arts. As the Marketing and Development intern, I am able to explore my interest in communications in combination with my love for theatre arts.  

Working in an atmosphere of highly adaptable and flexible individuals who continue to be devoted to creating theatre as we work our way through this pandemic is so uplifting. The passion and spirit they have for their work has made it so easy for me to learn from them! This internship has been such a great encouragement for me to work towards being a strong, multi-faceted artist like the ones I am surrounded by! 

Fun Facts: I LOVE birthdays, I make the best guacamole (confirmed by my friends and family), I clean when I’m stressed, the beach is my happy place, and I can speak Arabic and French!

Primary Stages former intern and ESPA student collaborate across the pond!

The theatre world is a small one, but with the introduction of digital theatre as a result of the pandemic, it has become even smaller. This was made obvious when I was asked to produce the digital adaptation of the song cycle …The F*CK Am I Doing? Although the majority of the team like myself is based in London, I immediately noticed the lyricist, Ali Keller, had workshopped selected songs from the show as part of the 2017 ESPA Detention Series and later further developed the …The F*CK Am I Doing? in Adam Gwon’s classes at ESPA. As a former intern and staff member of Primary Stages it was so exciting to know Ali and I had common ground while beginning a production process that would rely on Zoom to connect us from London and New York.

About …The F*CK Am I Doing? 

After …The F*ck Am I Doing? was initially developed at ESPA, it was later produced as part of the 2019 New York Musical Festival Concert Series. Ali describes co-writing …The F*CK Am I Doing? with composer Emily Rose Simons as a weekend long adventure based out of tiny NYC dorm rooms and the result of the two creators asking themselves the question that later became the title of the show. Though it was originally written about millennial burnout and the growing pains of your 20’s, …The F*CK Am I Doing? ‘s exploration of mental health and loneliness sums up the ebbs and flows of this past year living through a pandemic, and is a timely piece sure to be a cathartic experience for anyone who lived through 2020 and has ever felt like they had know idea what the f*ck they are doing. The digital adaptation of the …The F*CK Am I Doing? was produced as a virtual benefit for the UK non-profit Playing Sane and is booked for a digital run at Brighton Fringe from May 29 – June 27 2021. 

Primary Stages Family

After we connected the dots that we both had fond memories and history with Primary Stages we knew we wanted to share how Primary Stages lead us to this moment of working on …The F*CK Am I Doing? 

What has your time at ESPA/Primary Stages looked like?

Ali: I think my first class with ESPA was in 2015 or 2016 – it was a weekend workshop/lecture with Rob Askins. Since then I’ve taken a ton of workshops and writing classes throughout the years. My time at ESPA has evolved from a place to take unique classes no where else seemed to offer, to a place to experiment and test my limits as an artist and find my favorite collaborators. 

Maddie: I was a Development and Special Events intern in the winter and spring of 2019. After the completion of my internship I was lucky enough to return in 2020 as an arts administration assistant as theaters adjusted to working virtually throughout the pandemic. 

What was one of your favorite experiences at Primary Stages/ESPA? 

Ali: As strange as it is to say, one of my favorite experiences at Primary Stages ESPA has been taking classes through the pandemic. Not only was I able to take classes with some of my favorite teachers (shoutout to Adam Gwon and Abe Koogler) and take classes with two of my new favorite teachers (Daniel Talbott and Kait Kerrigan). Through those classes I met a ton of new people, many of whom (teachers included) that were based all over the US and in other countries during this time. And although I would have much preferred working in person, I wouldn’t have met a lot of these amazing people that I now work with regularly if it weren’t for these circumstances. And now I get to cheer on my teachers and classmates who are working all over the world!

Maddie: I have multiple! But similarly to Ali, I am always most grateful to have worked with such wonderful people. I gained incredible mentors, developed what I’m sure will be life-long connections with my fellow intern class, and had the opportunity to pass down my experience to interns when I returned in 2020. I deeply value the creative community that I have cultivated as a result of working with Primary Stages. 

What would your advice be to other ESPA artists or Primary Stages interns?  

Ali: My advice to other ESPA artists would be to take the class that scares you. All the teaches are amazing and meet you where you are, whether you’ve done something a million times or have no idea what they’re talking about on the first day of class. For me those classes were Adam Gwon’s lyric class and Daniel Talbott’s screenwriting class. I basically had no experience entering either of those classes. But by the end, I walked away with a song cycle that was produced at NYMF and with The COW Community in the UK, and a short screenplay that’s won a bunch of awards at film festivals all over the country. But even without those shiny things, they are pieces I am extremely proud of because I pushed myself to create them. I can’t stress enough how great ESPA is for testing your creative limits. You can walk in shouting, “I have no idea what this is or what I am doing!” And you can walk out with a really cool project that people respond to. So take the chance.

Maddie: Ask all the questions! People are so willing to share their experience. Working in theater is so collaborative and the conversations I had at Primary Stages helped me define my goals and sharpen the skills in my toolbox that I carried with me when completing my MFA at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and beyond as I look ahead to my career in creative producing.

Meet Sofia!

Published by

Hello, my name is Sofia Vilches (she/her) and I am the Marketing and Development Intern here at Primary Stages! I was the intern in the fall, and loved it so much I was honored to be asked to stay on for another semester. I am a second semester senior at Marymount Manhattan College, finishing up my BFA in Musical Theatre, with a minor in Arts Management. I am originally from Portland, Oregon, and made the big cross country leap to come to college in New York City three and a half years ago. Best decision I have ever made! I am half Chilean, and have lived in Chile, Mexico, and Cuba with my family. 

One of the reasons I was able to come to school in NYC was thanks to a playwriting scholarship I won in high school, so I was so excited when I found out about Primary Stages and their dedication to producing new works. They are also dedicated to having important conversations, supporting artists, patrons, and students, and especially to keeping theatre arts alive during this crazy pandemic!

This internship is definitely not a traditional one, as we are all working remotely. Luckily, the people of Primary Stages are so fun to work with, even through a Zoom screen. I have learned so much, and was even inspired to apply to grad schools to further study arts management. My goal is to work at a NYC theatre, while auditioning and continuing to perform. I love musical theatre, and art that sparks conversation. Especially now, I am inspired to create and see what others are creating. This internship is an incredible experience for me, and has encouraged me to be the multi-hyphenated artist that I have always wanted to be.

Fun Facts: I have a gluten allergy (not so fun), I am addicted to matcha lattes, I am a major night owl, and I speak Spanish!

Virtual Master Class with Stephanie Klapper

Published by

Our latest Virtual Master Class Video features Stephanie Klapper (Casting Director, Stephanie Klapper Casting; Bronx Bombers, A Christmas Story on Broadway, Pride and Prejudice, Dividing the Estate, and more at Primary Stages, “Lazytown”).

Stephanie discusses her career in casting, advice for actors auditioning and self-taping, and the realities of theater post-COVID.

Read more of Stephanie’s thoughts below and CLICK HERE to view her Master Class video on YouTube!

“I have been reflecting a lot about how I want to come out on the other side of this time. I would like to use this time to make some contributions to our community, to my family, and to the world at large. I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be kind, mindful, and more aware. A longtime friend of mine and I were talking early on in our Covid -19 stay at home order days, about the need for the world and our environment needing to rest and recharge. I guess, in a sense, I am trying too, to recharge.

I have been participating in more panels about casting, diversity, equity, and educational outreach to students in High School, college and universities. I have always loved teaching and have been fortunate to have had more opportunities to connect with students around the country in a time when so many of their usual classes and plans have been upended. Zoom teaching has allowed me to visit many more locations then I ordinarily would, and to keep a dialogue going about what we can do to create, keep in touch, and still believe in the magic of what we care about and do. I am looking forward to the upcoming panels and classes I will be participating in and on.  I have been having great conversations with friends of mine who are Professors, Elementary School educators, Assistant Principals and more about what it means to teach and learn and inspire at this time. I have been fortunate to learn so much from such a range of educators and their students about being adaptable and having fortitude.

In both my casting life and teaching life, with my SKC team and students, we talk a lot about what we can do to remain creative, healthy and mindful of where we currently are and what we can do moving forward without it being a “race” or “competition.”

I have been working through this time of unrest to encourage positive conversations, informational discussions, and improving communication regarding racial equality and inclusion on both a personal level, professionally, and through CSA.

As a member of the Casting Society of America‘s New York Board I have had more time to be more active on several committees – some as co-chair, and some as a member. Those include – Diversity and Inclusion (with name change to follow to reflect the times); Training and Education, AEA Committee – where we are having ongoing conversations with AEA about what “film capture audition” protocol will be moving forward, what will in-person auditions will be like in the future and more. As one who is not naturally tech savvy, I joined the CSA Tech Committee to learn about what technology is available to use for auditions, meetings, and day to day life. This last committee has pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone, but I hope will inform me of ways we can move forward with handling auditions for the foreseeable future. I am proud to have initiated the very first CSA/AEA Covid – 19 self-taping / question and answer webinar that had over 2,000 AEA Members attend along with 5 Casting Directors who participated on the panel. Most recently I joined the newly formed CSA book club. For our upcoming first gathering we are reading and will be discussing “The Cultural Politics of Colorblind TV Casting” by Kristen J. Warner. I am in the midst of reading it currently. It’s a little dry… but there are certainly plenty of talking points.

Through a recent production, a new friendship has emerged with the author, party and life style expert, Mary Giuliani (who is NOT related to the other Guiliani that may come to mind….) She and I worked on SIDEWAYS, the Experience together. Mary created and provided the culinary experience that the audience could partake of prior to the performance. It wasn’t that long ago, and yet it feels eons ago. She and I met at the show’s meet and greet and felt as though we had always known each other. Recently, she and I spoke and said that she wanted to revisit her first love, and return to acting. She shared her memoir, “Tiny Hot Dogs, a memoir in small bites”  with me. I fell in love with her story and the book and would love to produce her in it as a one woman show. It is uplifting, inspiring, and human! And while I am on the subject of inspiring and human, I continue to be involved with Nolan Williams Jr’s, Grace the Musical, which was supposed to be part of the Humana Festival at Actors Theatre of Louisville. I am hoping that together we can find a new life for it moving forward. It is a beautifully moving piece about family lineage, food and love. Karen Hartman’s play,  “The Lucky Star” is also a casualty of Covid – 19. A magical play based on a true story of a man triumphing over difficult times and his family’s resilience, I so want to make this show happen, and along with the creative team, we are working on ideas of how to keep it in the forefront at this time.

I have been afforded the opportunity to be a guest on several podcasts both here and internationally, with participants from all over the world . I’ve really enjoyed taping a few workshops (including this one), and working to master the art of self-taping myself for various pieces. It is a whole new world being on the other side of the camera. I have an even greater appreciation for what sactors go through to create a self-taped audition. I have been enjoying my conversations with my clients and doing all I can to be of help and service to them. I have appreciate the opportunity for us to connect on an even deeper level. This new rebooting time is allowing me the opportunity to create new projects, make new friends, and reconnect with friends from various parts of my life here and abroad. I am working to listen better and with a more open mind and heart.

My responsibility to my family has always been important to me. And at this time even more so. I have been helping my mother on the weekends in the hopes of keeping her healthy, safe and connected. I view this as an opportunity to hear her stories, and make the most of the time we have together and not take a moment for granted. Since my father’s death last year, we have had more and different “quality” time. I consider it bonus time, and a gift.

For much of my two children’s lives, I have worked many late nights, and missed dinners with them.  On one particular occasion, we even had to cut a family vacation short when a casting emergency came up. My kids and husband have been very accepting and patient over the years. Now my children are older – one is living on her own, post college, and the other, just finished up his freshman year at home, not so thrilled that his year (and single dorm room) was cut short. This imposed break on day to day life as we knew it has given me the opportunity to cherish, even more, each and every moment I can have with them together and separately. 

I relish Zoom conversations (while trying to avoid zoom fatigue) and brainstorming sessions with friends in and out of the industry. It has been a pleasure to talk with them about ways we can all support each other and think outside of the box.  I am fortunate that many of my clients and I have been in each other’s lives for many years – I value their friendship and am in awe of their ability to keep going and being resourceful and remain human during the Pandemic For the most part, our conversations have reached a higher level of connection and meaning.  

And I have been watching more Netflix, HBO, you name it, enjoying shows such as “Money Heist” that my son turned me on to (first in English translation, and then in Spanish- which I have enjoyed even more); “Unorthodoxed,” both the series and the documentary about the making of…. and getting swept up in the escapist telenovela style soap opera “Dead to Me.” I now have a new found appreciation for Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini, and James Marsden. I’ve really enjoyed mother/daughter time binging on “Sweet Magnolias” but was very disappointed with the non-ending. And finally, dare I say it… I am all caught up on 90 Day Fiance, the franchise. My husband and I have enjoyed all the iterations of the show together. Additionally, it has also provided vibrant and spirited conversations with my SKC team on our weekly catchup calls.

A longtime friend came back in to my life and he and I are writing a book together about Musical Theatre. Another friend and I have weekly meetings about the podcast we are creating.

Several friend/clients and I are putting together readings, projects, brainstorming about how we can move forward with our lives and work. The readings we have done – screenplays and plays have been wide ranging from Shakespeare’s King Lear to Deb Laufer’s The Three Sisters of Weehawken, which garnered comments from as far away as Hungary!

It’s been a time of watching friends make big changes in their lives. Longtime friends who have lived in New Jersey for many years have decided to sell their home so they can take advantage of (New York) city dwellers who want to get out of the city. So many friends have left their New York City homes indefinitely and relocated to their country homes. Who knows if and when they will return to the City? Remaining in New York City has made me feel as though I am amongst the last standing on the Titanic. But then I think about the sense of shared survival we all have and like Anne Frank, I believe in the goodness of humanity and that no matter where we are, we are still connected and WILL get through this together.

I have been an avid listen of NPR for many years and am now an even more regular listener. I love listening the varied personal stories told on The Moth Radio Hour , the new and audience free (for obvious reasons) versions of “Wait, Wait Don’t tell Me”, Ophira Eisenberg’s Ask Me Another, and Manoush Zomorodi’s return to NPR as the New Host of the TED Radio Hour. I have been enjoying listening to Dan Harris’ Ten Percent Happier meditation app, and pod casts and in the first months of the pandemic, every week day there was a live segment that featured Dan in conversation and practice with different mediation teachers. I definitely started relying a little too much on the daily programming when I felt a bit disappointed and abandoned when Dan ended the week day live teachings and relocated with his family to the suburbs. Well, at least the podcast is continuing on weekly, and there is the app and great courses to take so all is not lost.

I am enjoying long walks in my neighborhood, connecting from an acceptable social distance with some of our neighbors, and discovering that I have more friends in the neighborhood than I realized.  I’ve enjoyed the virtual museum tours, “trips” and “visits” to the zoo and botanical gardens I have gone on, all while not leaving the comfort and safety of my apartment.          

In my fantasy world – I’d love to find a project to work on with Dame Diana Rigg, play flute duets with Lizzo, and continue to celebrate all that I am thankful for.

I am working to embrace the adventure, both good and not, that this is and come out on the other side hopefully wiser, stronger, kinder, and if I lose a few pounds, and eat a few less bagels, that’ll be ok too!  I will never take good health, family, friends, colleagues or work for granted.” – Stephanie Klapper

Meet Megan!

Published by

Hi there! I’m Megan (she/her/hers), and I’m the Summer 2020 Development Intern at Primary Stages! I’m a rising junior at Marymount Manhattan College pursuing a double major in Theatre with a concentration in Producing and Stage Management and Public Relations with a minor in Arts Management. I’m from Staten Island, New York, and have always loved the city that never sleeps (I can relate, I don’t sleep very much pursuing a double major).

My WFH set-up!

This is my first internship EVER and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to start my career in the theatre industry with Primary Stages. Working in development combines my interests in theater and communication; it’s the perfect place for me to begin exploring careers that suit how broad my course of study and skills are. I want to be prepared and understand how each aspect of this industry works, from knowing how shows and organizations are funded to the more technical intricacies of calling a show. I’m passionate about new works and am ecstatic about doing my small part in helping us all stay connected to theatre while we are apart this summer. Join me on Wednesdays for our weekly Lunch-and-Learns!

A little bit about myself: beluga whales are my favorite animals, I believe pancakes (try this recipe!) are the superior breakfast food, Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 is my favorite musical with Torch Song being my favorite play, and I would definitely live in Walt Disney World if I could.

BELUGAS!
