America in the Round
More than a chronicle, America in the Round is a critical history that reveals how far Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage could go with its budget and racially liberal politics, and how Arena both disputed and duplicated systems of power. With an innovative "in the round" approach, the narrative simulates sitting in different parts of the arena space to see the theatre through different lenses--economics, racial dynamics, and American identity.
A St. Vincent Valentine
Successful realtor Madison Themans is nursing a broken heart when she receives the offer of a lifetime. A first-class trip to the gorgeous tropical island of St. Vincent to sell a spectacular mansion worth millions. However, before being hooked up with her lucrative client, she will have to pass a test from the strangest source: the woman her ex left her for. Fighting against personal pride for the sake of her career, Madison is too driven and excited about the job prospect to care. But once in St. Vincent, she is puzzled by the enigmatic owner of the manor, who seems to be worshipped by his staff, and makes ridiculous demands of her. Before Madison can really make sense of the strange new world she's stepped into, she finds herself in over her head with a tortuous attraction to her mysterious client, who demands that their relationship be kept strictly professional. But his eyes tell a different story, and his hands, and his lips... And when his identity is revealed, everything changes.
Act Like a Man
"In the first comprehensive study of plays written for male characters only, Robert Vorlicky offers a new theory that links cultural codes governing gender and the conventions determining dramatic form. Act Like a Man looks at a range of plays, including those by O'Neill, Albee, Mamet, Baraka, and Rabe as well as new works by Philip Kan Gotanda, Alonzo Lamont, and Robin Swados, to examine how dialogue within these works reflects the social codes of male behavior and inhibits individualization among men. Plays in which women are absent are often characterized by the location of a male "other"—a female presence who distances himself from the dominant, impersonal masculine ethos and thereby becomes a facilitator of personal communication. The potential authority of this figure is so powerful that its presence becomes the primary determinant of the quality of men's interaction and of the range of male subjectivities possible. This formulation becomes the basis of an alternative theory of American dramatic construction, one that challenges traditional dramaturgical notions of realism"--Publisher's description.
An Empty Seat

It's been years since she left Ben and she's committed to not returning to him. Faced with Ben's good looks and charm, Madison's resolve is weakened.

Nostalgia
Individuals decide, in the present, how to recall the past, and, in the process, imbue the past with meaning that has evolved over time and is relevant in the present."

Churchill on Leadership
Success often depends on the strength of a single quality: leadership. Winston Churchill is universally recognized as one of the 20th century's great political leaders and his words ring just as true in the world of commerce. A wise, witty, and inspiring leader, Churchill ran Great Britain like a great corporation. "Perhaps the finest book on practical leadership ever written." — Brian Tracy Churchill on Leadership demonstrates that the principles that guided Churchill ably translate to private industry today. Author Steven F. Hayward gives strong evidence that, if you remove Churchill from his political context, he would have the resume to be among the great business leaders of any age. C...
Beyond Political Correctness
The reason that the right dominates debates on crime, family values, and economic freedom while the left defends diversionary policies such as affirmative actions and equivocates on ecology and the political empowerment of the young, argues Cummings (political science, U. of Colorado) is that too many progressives have avoided politically sensitive issues, thus condemning themselves to intellectual atrophy and political ineffectiveness. c.
