New interviews from: Dr. Erik Loomis, expert on labor history; Deborah Shaffer, Academy-Award winning documentarian and director of the film The Wobblies; Jay Williams, author of a three volume biography of Jack London (Author Under Sail).
"A lovingly-crafted audio drama...What truly makes this three-episode adaptation shine is [UTC61]’s unabashed embrace of London’s equally naked socialist views." - Discover Pods
"A really wonderful listening experience that was not only enjoyable, but informative." - Aticus's Attic
"It serves up food for thought with an appealing heart-on-sleeve warmth."
Podcast available at:
The first modern dystopian novel, written as a socialist propaganda piece in 1908. Jack London envisions a world in which the oligarchs form a fascist regime in America, told from the perspective of two young socialist lovers. Antonia Meredith, a historian from a utopia in the far future, provides dubious historical context. A mixture of romance, rhetoric, and revolution, accompanied by the folk music of the IWW Songbook.
Adapted as a three-part audio drama from our earlier stage adaptation.
Adapted and directed by Edward Einhorn
With: Craig Anderson, Kevin Argus, John Bronston, Joshua Wolf Coleman, Ivanna Cullinan, Yael Haksal, Jason Harris, Mike Iveson Jr, Jenny Lee Mitchell, Yvonne Roen, Victoria Rulle, Trav SD and Maxwell Zener

"5 stars. This is a podcast we can whole heartedly recommend. It costs nothing, it’s massively entertaining and informative, it’s beautifully produced and acted and it leaves me both hoping and looking forward to the next offering from Edward Einhorn and Untitled Theater Company No.61." - Set the Tape
"This was a fantastic listen overall. I strongly encourage you to keep your ears open for great productions like this. If you want to listen to a wonderfully made play, look them up and listen in." - Atticus' Attic
"The story is so surprising that listeners will gasp at the turns each episode takes...This podcast is recommended for the casual historian and storyteller." - Discover Pods

Performance for One
continues on demand
|
|
Written and directed by Edward Einhorn
Originally developed with Yvonne Roen
Performance for One is now available on demand! Parts 1, 2, and 3 can be experienced together! Performed by Yvonne Roen.
$25 for a 25 minute, one-on-one performance. Email performancefor1@gmail.com and send us some possible times, and we will set up a showing.
"Einhorn excels at the meaningfully meta; in his plays medium never overpowers message, though they do dance divinely...in the role of the storyteller Elizabeth Chappel was a careful and compelling bearer of these fragile flickers from the past, and the fullness of human warmth and emotional forthrightness it takes to incarnate them."
“Potent...I liked that this show acknowledges a theater audience is not passive. We’re not mere vessels being casually filled by the art. Our brains are whirring. Our emotions are being churned. Things are happening in the audience–sometimes positive, sometimes negative. But it is an active practice."
"Performance For One not only manages to succeed as a highly intellectual show but also as an emotion-packed experience.”
“An unusually intimate experience, and a lovely way to feel a personal connection through theater.”
The performance is about memory, but even more so, it is about relationship between performer, audience member, and author. What is the responsibility of the audience member, and how is it felt differently when there is only one audience member? Who is the story teller, the author or the performer? What happens to a memory that two people share after one of those people is gone?

Art featured in Doctors Jane and Alexander
Free to a good home, donations appreciated

For those of you who were able to attend Doctors Jane and Alexander, you are already familiar with the art of Jane Einhorn. For those of you who have attended Performance for One, you were able to meet her through the stories you were told. Jane passed away in May from Covid, and she left behind a treasure trove of art. Some the family is keeping and some has already been given away, but it is all on a website, janeeinhornart.com.
We would love to share the art with those of you who are interested in owning a piece of it. The art that is claimed is marked with an asterisk, all the others are available. Use the form on the contact page to email us. And for those of you who are able to donate to the theater company in return, it is much appreciated. Like most art organizations at this time, we are looking at a long period of time without much revenue, and the donations would greatly help us in our efforts to continue to produce events like those below.
