PATTERSONWhile BAM is definitely on its way to becoming a major metropolitan theater center, it has not arrived just yet.As of this date, the new BAM Repertory Company consists of an artistic director, David Jones from the Royal Shakespeare Company, who arrived here September 10 to begin his tenure; Charles Dillingham, managing director, Susan Satow, assistant general manager; and literary advisor, Richard Nelson.This skeleton staff is beginning the long, arduous andnecessarily serpentine negotiations which go into the planning of a season which must also serve as a foundation for the national classical company BAM has committed it self to creating. The Academy received a substantial grant from the Ford Foundation to launch this undertaking%u2014$400,000 outright, to be supplemented over a ihree year period by a million and a half dollars to be raised by the BAM board from other sources. %u201c We don%u2019t have any specific pledges to announce right now,%u201d said Dillingham, in response to questions about the fundraising progress, %u201c but with the conversations we%u2019ve been having, we know the money is going to be there.%u201dAs one would expect, with this kind of money at stake, planning is careful, deiailed, and cautious. %u201c David has only been here since September 10th,%u201d said Dillingham, \hasn%u2019i had time to start or finish anything. He has been seeing many plays looking at actors to form the core of the company and this week he is going to spend about thirty hours looking at actors unfamiliar to him, looking to fill the ensemble. As for leading actors, we just don%u2019t know yet. We arc lalking to many people but there are no firm commitments to announce. So we can%u2019t announce anything.%u201dLast year Jason Robards and Richard Dreyfuss were mentioned in passing ai the Ford Foundation cocktail party which welcomed David Jones to his new post. No names arc mentioned ai this point, only a tentative, unspecified opening%u2014sometime in February. The first production will come from the Shakespearean canon but that is the extent of news on the matter of repertoire. There will probably be four or five plays in the first season.Everything about ihe company is in a state of limbo ihen. Bui it is interesting to note the heavy investment both BAM, and another group, Riverside Shakespeare Company, have made in presentation of the Bard. It signals a shift in the power from the Public/NYSF to Brooklyn and possibly upper Manhattan. Shakespeare was, for a number of years, Papp%u2019s private reserve. No major groups challenged him. Unfortunately his political and fundraising success have never been matched by a similar artistic achievement. Most NYSF Shakespeare has been found wanting; the institution%u2019s successes have been primarily in contemporary theater, black theater, and innovative musicals. This has left the classical field'wide open, and BAM is evidently moving purposefully into the breach, signalling with their opening piece the nature of the work in which they wish to excel.In the meantime, the resilient and daring Dodger Theater Company is all geared up, ready to take off on October 23 with %u201c Emigres,%u201d a play about two refugees and their struggle for freedom, written by Slawomir Mrozck, a Polish expatriate. It is directed by Andre Ernottc and will play through November 11.Following this piece will be a new musical, %u201c Holeville,%u201d by Jeff Wanshel. The music and lyrics are by Des McAnuff who managed to startle the blase off-off Broadway crowd with %u201c Leave It To Beaver Is Dead%u201d at the Public. Their third play has not as yet been announced.The Dodger funding picture for the year is bright: grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and box office receipts have allowed them to begin selling subscriptions for a three play season. It looks as if this group is well launched and ready.The National Youth Theater of Great Britain is also scheduled to return to BAM during the fall season.Page 10. The PHOFNIX October 4. 1979
