Theatre In Video will be
adding some very unique and rare content in it’s next release. Much of the
material is coming from the Creative Arts Television archive, which produced and
broadcast theatre related programs like Camera Three. Camera Three often
featured performance excerpts, and in-depth analysis from theatre luminaries
such as Arthur Miller, Jose Quintero, and Joseph Chaikin. Some of the highlights
coming to Theatre In Video include F. Murray Abraham in Andrei Serban’s
The Master and Margarita; Olympia Dukakis singing Brecht; William Shatner
proving he was once an actor in three different scenes of German Theater of
Protest; Lee Strasberg teaching acting; and Cicley Tyson in Lorraine Hansberry’s
To Be Young, Gifted, and Black.
