The Civic Theatre board of directors recently approved
changing the name of Center Stage to Studio 10 in order to
better communicate the purpose and nature of its productions.
Studio 10 has as its aim to produce plays that are little bit out
of the mainstream, requiring a smaller cast and usually simpler
sets and costumes. Occasionally, a play may be chosen which
because of adult themes will be for mature audiences only.
2008-09 SEASON
By Ron Hutchinson
Produced in cooperation with Dramatists Play Service
1939 Hollywood is abuzz, Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn't work. So what's an all-powerful movie mogul to do? while fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard Of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.
