Samuel J. Friedman

Type) Proscenium
Level) Broadway




1)
Such plays include Master Class, Venus in Fur, The Columnist, Wit, Good People, Rabbit Hole.
2a) The pictures of Master Class does not make use of Proscenium stage because they do not use the fly space available. Although Master Class is big and formal which is a great element of proscenium stages, it does not make use of all the other elements.
2b)You can see large set pieces on the stage such as the piano, but because of the nature of the show the rest of the set is simplistic when a proscenium stage can have elaborate sets.

3a)The plays that the Samuel J. Friedman puts on are new plays that typically have great reviews. They housed Venus in Fur which is a new play that was nominated several times at this years Tony Awards. They definitely bring successful New plays make them popular and then they are done at many other Theaters. This is the core of their mission statement.
3b) I feel like their mission statement is achieved because their shows are then brought to many off Broadway Theaters. There does not seem to be any discrepancies between their mission statement and their productions.
4) There is a real magic about big proscenium Theaters on Broadway that give birth to many new and amazing plays. I also  love their mission statement of collaborating with regional Theaters to bring new American plays to broadway. It was the theatre that first released "Hair" which is one of my absolute favorite musicals. Although Broadway is filled with many Theaters the Samuel J. Friedman has made a name for itself among all the stiff competition.
