Great Theatre Debates
(2000, 2001)

The Clyde Fitch Group produces a "Great Theatre Debates" series, partnering with such organizations as the Drama Desk, New Dramatists, and the New York International Fringe Festival. The mission of "Great Theatre Debates" is to elevate discourse about the American theatre -- to illuminate the art and artists, commerce and crises, and triumphs and trends driving the industry. By assembling distinguished and influential artists, producers and opinion-makers, "Great Theatre Debates" reflects upon the growing position of the theatre in American cultural life -- and the need to enhance that growth.

150 Years of The Next Big Thing

Gilbert; Happy Birthday, Tina Marie (1997), a black comedy about a former Hollywood child star in struggling to make a comeback; and The Barbra Streisand Comedy Hour (2062), about Barbra Streisand, cryogenically frozen since 2002, coming back to life and attempting to star (write, produce, key grip, direct) her own weekly television variety show.
