Harold Clurman

On stage 4 productions, 1 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Worked with more than once12 names

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking. 10 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

Pipe Dream

These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

• Being familiar with The Method from my studies with Stella Adler, I could imagine that a Group member had had a dog at the time, and Harold Clurman put it onstage as an exercise to keep the actors in the moment. If you don’t know what a dog will do in a scene, then you have to focus.

• 70 Harold Clurman's review of West Side Story (The Nation , 12 October 1957) was a rather bitter attack on the show and its authors, and Sondheim's quotations from the review are exactly as they appear in Clurman's original.

• In the late Seventies, Harold Clurman lamented to a young actress that the theatre was no longer "a profession." When he'd started out, in the Twenties, a young actor or writer had to make an effort to be seen, but once that happened he had, in effect, stepped onto the first rung of a ladder, as Clurman saw it. After that there was a whol…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
• Directing Traubel was a man who’d staged twenty-one Broadway productions in twenty years. Choosing him might have seemed prudent, but Harold Clurman had never staged a musical. Still, he was theatrical royalty—having directed five Clifford Odets plays, including Awake and Sing —so he seemed worthy of a chance.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — director — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
