Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: Michael on June 28, 2018, 05:00:28 AM: I think the first play I saw was The Divine Sarah starring Denise Pelletier. I was taken to the final performance (a Sunday matinee) I was mesmerized by the one person play about Sarah Bernhardt. It was a fantastic performance. But sadly Madame Pelletier would die a few days later during open heart surgery. She was very ill but one would never know that watching her perform.

There may have been plays before but this is the one I remember.

Post by: John G. on June 28, 2018, 05:22:12 AM: I think the first professional play I saw was at Actors Theater of Louisville. It was a Halloween production of Dracula, and it wasn’t very good, but I enjoyed it. I was into Dark Shadows in those days, so anything vampire was good to me.

Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on June 28, 2018, 06:01:03 AM: I'll have to say my first play ever was OUR TOWN or PYGMALION (whichever came first) at my high school. It's actually hard to imagine seeing either of those, or anything else, and thinking, "This is my first play!" But I'm not dredging up anything that's likely to have been earlier.

First professional play was probably LUV on tour at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami. At least that seems to be the earliest program I have. It's dated August 1965 and starred Tom Bosley, Dorothy Loudon, Herbert Edelman, and was staged by Jack Sydow. I was a late starter, as we lived in Fort Lauderdale and it was a haul getting to any theater prior to the construction of the Parker Playhouse right there in town.

First play on Broadway was SLEUTH, early summer of 1971, starring Anthony Quayle, Keith Baxter, Philip Farrar, Harold K. Newman, and Roger Purnell. ;) Clifford Williams directed.

Side note: It's likely that the Columbia recording of LUV was my first play on record. What I don't recall is which came first, seeing it or listening to it. I just know I took to it from the start. The other early recording I thrilled to was VIRGINIA WOOLF, but that was done surreptitiously at the library. I didn't think I dared buy that one and play it in the house!
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on June 28, 2018, 06:13:27 AM: The thing I dislike the most, or commiserate with the most, in BK's report about the play?

The curtain.

Now there's a question. What was the first play or musical you attended that didn't use a curtain?

I wouldn't have any idea. I just know I deplore the practice. It's such a damned thrill now to walk into a theater, professional or non-, and see it in use.
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: John G. on June 28, 2018, 06:32:33 AM: The curtain talk is interesting to me because Actors Thester, my home away from home as a teen, more often than not avoided use of a curtain. Neither did the Shakespeare in the Park productions or the dinner theater in the round that we frequented. So my first few dozen plays were without, so I don’t mind it at all.
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on June 28, 2018, 06:37:02 AM: I cannot remember from this time distance if my first play was a community theatre production of Blithe Spirit, which I saw with DR Ginny's husband Richard, or a high school production of The Diary of Anne Frank, which I saw with my brother Macbeth, while I was a junior high school student.

First national tour in Cincinnati was either The Sound of Music or Camelot. I wish I still had the playbills to tell me which was first.

First Broadway show was 1966, The Man of La Mancha, original cast, which was still playing in Washington Square before moving uptown to Broadway.

First opera was Die Fledermaus at the Cincinnati Opera while they still performed in an open air theatre inside the Cincinnati Zoo.
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on June 28, 2018, 06:42:47 AM: Ah, the Zoo Opera. I was only there a couple of times, but I loved that it existed and I do wish I'd been around Cincinnati more in those years.
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on June 28, 2018, 06:47:55 AM: My first opera was probably FAUST, in Fort Lauderdale's War Memorial Auditorium, conducted by Emerson Buckley.
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on June 28, 2018, 06:49:45 AM: I'm certain about Buckley because he conducted the local symphony orchestra and most everything that came through, but I wish I had a program to see who else was involved.

Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: Ginny on June 28, 2018, 08:01:26 AM: TOD - My first play, I think, was Rumplestilzken (sp?) performed by a children's theatre troupe that toured around the Detroit Public Schools.

First touring Broadway show was THE MUSIC MAN, with Forrest Tucker and Joan Weldon at the Riviera Theatre in Detroit. That theatre was replaced by the Fisher Theatre and my first show there was THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, starring Karen Morrow and Harve Presnell.

In keeping with BK's topic of plays, at the Fisher while I was in high school, we saw HADRIAN VII, THE LITTLE FOXES, A DELICATE BALANCE. My favorite play experiences were at Wayne State University's Hilberry Theatre (http://http://historicdetroit.org/building/hilberry-theatre/): SAINT JOAN, THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH, THE TEMPEST, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM.

First Broadway show on Broadway was CABARET, original cast, in the summer of 1967.

Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on June 28, 2018, 10:51:19 AM: At least two of our 100-or-so seat community theaters have the curtain. I can't say they always use it, but it's there and it's functional. The high schools usually use it, and a couple of the colleges where I've seen musicals in the past year have it and use it.

I love intermissions, too. BK, was last night's single intermission sufficient for your tastes?
Title: Re: LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
Post by: George on June 28, 2018, 11:08:52 AM: Topic of the Day:

I think the first play (not musical) that I ever saw was probably I Remember Mama at my high school and my sister was in it. She was in Drama for her last two years of high school and played Dagmar.

I have no idea what might've been the first national tour play that I saw. It must've been something at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.

The one time I went to NYC in 1995, the only play (not musical) that I saw was Paul Robeson (http://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/paul-robeson-4319) with Avery Brooks. It was one of the theatrical highlights of my life!

Trust me, I know what it is like to lose your mother.
Yes, it is hard. I was 34 when I lost my mother.

Post by: TCB on June 28, 2018, 09:44:43 PM: T.O.D.

I think the first play (non-musical) I ever saw, not counting grade school crap, was either TAMING OF THE SHREW or A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
