Sometimes something wonderful comes from pure chance.

It was spring of 2011, and I was in New York on a project with a free Monday night. I ended up at a new play reading at Manhattan Theatre Club — and I ended up as a near theatre stalker, with Alfred Uhry as my prey. I had just heard a reading of Carl's Sister, Uhry's exquisite adaptation of Marie Brenner’s beautiful book Apples and Oranges, My Brother and Me, Lost and Found, and I was determined to find a way to bring the work to Atlanta. I was also in tears.

As the little sister of an adored brother from whom I could not be more different, the piece had shaken me to my core.

Alfred Uhry is an Atlantan. An Atlantan whose writing happens to have won an Oscar, a few Tonys, and a Pulitzer Prize. He is also a supremely gracious being who didn’t seem to mind the artistic director lunging through the throngs of admirers to see if there was any way his newest play could premiere in his native city. Happily, through his own commitment to this city, and the generosity of Lynne Meadow, Manhattan Theatre Club’s Artistic Director (and visionary director of the production you’re about to see), here we are.

Some things are meant to be. An opportunity for the Alliance to welcome home one of its most celebrated native sons with a work of pure, deep and soul-shaking beauty seems inevitable somehow. Thank goodness for a free Monday in March and people who embrace the word “yes.”

Welcome home, Mr. Uhry.

Playwright Alfred Uhry, a prodigious reader, once told an interviewer that “me in a bookstore is like an alcoholic going to a bar.” That book

habit led to both his first professional theater project, the 1975 musical The Robber Bridegroom, from a Eudora Welty novella, and his latest, Apples & Oranges, from a memoir by author-journalist Marie Brenner. The Alliance Theatre is giving Apples & Oranges its world premiere.

Real-life brother-and-sister story brings playwright Alfred Uhry back to his hometown by kathy janich

Audiences here know well his Driving Miss Daisy and Tony Award-winning The Last Night of Ballyhoo.

Lately Uhry, 76, an Atlanta native and faithful New Yorker, took time to talk about Apples &

Oranges as well as his early career with Broadway composer Frank

Loesser, and his stirring and disturbing 1998 musical Parade, which played in revised form in 2007 at London’s Donmar Warehouse.

What interested you in Apples & Oranges? I heard about Marie Brenner’s book,

and it sounded like something I wanted to read. Almost the next day, Lynne Meadow

[Artistic Director of the Manhattan Theatre Club, who directs the Alliance Production] called and asked if I’d like to turn it into a play. So I read it. I was very moved, and I immediately saw the dramatic possibilities. I was particularly drawn to the subject because it concerns the adult relationship of a brother and a sister — no other siblings in the family. I come from the same setup — one brother, one sister. The dynamics are quite different than that of two brothers or two sisters or a family with other siblings. I wanted to explore this, so I signed on.

Did you know Brenner?I didn’t know Marie when I read the book but had read and admired her work. I met her almost immediately,

alliancetheatre.org 9

and she became a friend as well as a big help. I went out to Washington state with her to see her brother’s apple orchards and to meet his friends. I learned a lot that went into my play.

Why did you feel strongly about having the show’s world premiere at the Alliance?For several reasons. I wanted to spend time in Atlanta and hang out with my family and some old friends. I have had good luck at the Hertz Theatre. The Last Night of Ballyhoo premiered there during the 1996 Olympics and went on to win the Tony Award as best play. And Driving Miss Daisy played there for a long time. I think it still holds the longevity record. And, finally, Susan Booth was at the final reading, loved the play and offered to do it.

What changes did you make in your script?A play is all dialogue. A book is not. Most of this one is descriptions and Marie’s observations. Obviously that doesn’t work on the stage. I had to reimagine it as a play. That took a while.

How different is it, if it is different at all, to write for just two characters?After quite a long struggle, I realized that I needed to write a two-character play. I had never attempted that before. I’ve done a few with three characters, Miss Daisy included. That’s easier because the two main ones have somebody else to talk to. With just two it becomes harder to keep the train on the tracks — a lot harder.

What kinds of projects attract you?I guess I’m always interested in writing about people, as opposed to events. I wouldn’t be much good at an action thriller, but I seriously doubt if anyone would ever ask me to do that. I like variation. I enjoy doing plays, musicals and movies. I haven’t done much television, but who knows?

Frank Loesser was a big influence in your career. Can you tell us about that?When I first came to New York, I was very fortunate to sign a contract with Frank Loesser’s music publishing firm. I was strictly a lyric writer then. Frank was a master of his art. I still think Guys and Dolls is the finest musical ever written. The most important thing I learned was that every word, every syllable counts. Maybe that’s why I rework my stuff so much.

When might Atlanta see the Donmar revision of Parade?Jason [Robert] Brown and I would be delighted to have the Donmar version of Parade done in Atlanta. We were happy to have a chance to do more work on the show and, I’d say, changed about 15 percent of it for London. So, please! Somebody step right up!

Kathy Janich is Encore Atlanta’s managing editor and an avowed fan of Parade. For the full interview, go to EncoreAtlanta.com.

“Who understands more about families and their quirky mysteries than Alfred Uhry? He is a master of empathy with a pitch-perfect gauge of the heart.” — Marie Brenner, broadwayworld.com

Marie Brenner is a woman of letters. A journalist of note, writer-

at-large for Vanity Fair, she covered Charles’ wedding to Diana, created a compelling portrait of the big tobacco whistle-blower that inspired the film The Insider, and documented tensions between the French Islamic community and the rest of the country. Her 2008 memoir Apples and Oranges, My Brother and Me, Lost and Found portrays her ongoing battle of wits and wills with her older brother, Carl. In an interview at the end of the book, Brenner says, “So, we fought all the time. Our mother called us apples and oranges. We were different.” But where they meet is in the process of adaptation — Carl an adaptor of apples, Marie an adaptor of experiences into words.

Adaptation has a proud tradition in the world of theatre. William Shakespeare was a master of theatrical adaptation: turning early Italian novels into tragedies, Plantagenet history into the History Plays, and Celtic history into theatrical

Romance. The Greek dramatists adapted myths into dramatic structure as we know it. Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director of Manhattan Theatre Club, recognized the theatrical potential of Brenner’s memoir and brought it to Alfred Uhry, recognizing between playwright and journalist a shared sensibility.

Apples and Oranges... was first a book, written in the first person from Marie Brenner’s point of view. But the first person rarely can encompass dynamic and dramatic conflict, since one voice dominates the storytelling. What Alfred Uhry has done is to portray sibling rivalry as a battle of equals. Carl and Marie stand side by side, each telling their own side of the story. The result, like a new apple made from other apples, is a wonderful example of theatrical adaptation, celebrating a master apple adaptor through the gaze of a loving orange.

SynopsisThe rivalry between siblings marie and Carl Brenner, according to family legend, occurred on her first day home from the hospital, when 2-year-old Carl threw her out of a window. or placed her gently on the grass, depending on who is storytelling. in an entertaining he-said she-said form, Apples & Oranges explores the universal question of sibling rivalry: how can two people from the same family be so different? When Carl plunges into a medical crisis, he embroils marie’s investigative talents honed by years of reporting and work as Vanity Fair’s writer-at-large in his need to control and understand his illness. And while on her investigation, marie seeks to probe and understand her unique and deeply private brother.

discover us. discover you. members of our community respond to the work on the Alliance Stage

in Apples & Oranges i rediscovered how shared hardship can overcome the Scylla & Charybdis of sibling relationships — deep-seated love and rivalry. After spending a lifetime disagreeing and pushing each other away, Carl’s illness is the catalyst that allows Carl and marie to redefine their relationship. marie is able to understand his final act as one of brotherly love rather than selfishness. Rather than apples and oranges, sibling relationships are like honeycrisp apples — they can be hell to cultivate;

they’re delicate and bruise easily; but when they are just right, they are the perfect fruit.

— John C. Keller, Alliance Theatre Board of Directors


about the alliance theatre


Founded in 1968, the Alliance Theatre remains closely tied to the cultural identity of Atlanta, growing as the city has grown. The theatre has gained national recognition and prominence as Atlanta has become a leading international city. in 1977, the Alliance merged with the Atlanta Children’s Theatre (founded in 1929) in order to include Atlanta’s youngest audiences in fully produced theatrical experiences. in 1979, the Alliance created the Theatre School (now the Acting Program and Education Department) in order to strengthen the relationship with our community. in 2007, under the leadership of Susan Booth, the Jennings hertz Artistic Director, the Alliance received the Regional Theatre Tony Award®, in recognition of sustained excellence in programming, education and community engagement.

Realizing that our audience and the national field supports plays developed in Atlanta, the Alliance has created a large body of new work. The Alliance produces world premiere American musicals with a strong track record of Broadway, touring and subsequent regional productions. The theatre creates and nurtures the plays and careers of early-career playwrights through the Alliance/Kendeda National graduate Playwriting Competition, providing a premiere for the winner as part of our regular season and national networking opportunities for four finalists. locally based artists create work on a nationally watched stage, launching and sustaining Atlanta’s artistic community. Finally we create and produce original plays for young audiences at every age level: from the Collision Project, which creates opportunities for high school artists to collide with classic texts, to the groundbreaking Theatre for the Very Young, creating interactive work for infants and toddlers.

The Alliance takes great pride in our multigenerational educational programming. Believing that the same excellence found on our stage must be found in our education programs, the Alliance created the institute for Educators and Teaching Artists. A collaborative partnership between the Alliance and partner schools, the institute programs equip teachers with theatrical techniques that link directly to school curriculum, align with the georgia Performance Standards and increase student learning. These innovative programs include gA Wolf Trap, a nationally recognized professional learning program that focuses on literacy skills for children in pre-K – 2nd grade; Dramaturgy K-12, a unique program that empowers student scholars to create research material that both informs Alliance productions and prepares their peer audiences; and Collision Plus, which takes the creativity and collaboration of the Collision Project into our high school classrooms. The Alliance also offers community education, including classes for all ages and abilities of theatre interest; and adult student productions of unproduced plays in development (working with local writers and playwrights from the National graduate Playwriting Competition). Twice recognized by the Federal Department of Education as leaders in the field of arts education, these programs reflect the Alliance’s commitment to citywide arts access.

The Alliance Theatre strives to set the highest artistic standards and create the powerful experience of shared theatre for a diverse audience. Above all else, we value excellence, pursued with integrity and creativity, and achieved through collaboration.

Do you appreciate live theatre, enjoy meeting new people and trying new things? if so, then get involved with one of the largest volunteer forces in the arts. The Alliance Theatre volunteer STARS program offers a wide range of opportunities, which includes advocating for live theatre, ushering for Alliance productions, participating in and staffing fundraising & hospitality events, and assisting Alliance staff

members with daily office tasks. STARS is composed of four separate organizations working together on fund-saving and fund-raising projects to benefit the theatre. The four volunteer groups are the Alliance Children’s Theatre guild, Alliance Theatre guild, the Direct Volunteers and the Usher Corps.

For more information on becoming a volunteer, please contact Shana orr at [email protected] or call 404.733.4761.

When you Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, the money you collect provides medicine, clean water, and

nutrition for children around the world.
