THE ARMENIAN DRAMATIC ARTS ALLIANCE SPONSORS A READING OF WILLIAM SAROYAN’S PLAY ‘HELLO OUT THERE’ AT THE ARMENIAN LIBRARY AND MUSEUM OF AMERICA
On Sunday June 11, 2006 in Watertown, MA, the Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance (ADAA), a newly formed non-profit organization dedicated to projecting the Armenian voice on a world stage sponsored a reading of one of William Saroyan’s lesser known plays, "Hello Out There" at the Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA). The reading was presented in ALMA’s contemporary art gallery on the 3rd floor of their museum building and coincided with the exhibit "My name is Bill: Remembering William Saroyan" in the Terjenian Hall. The play was directed by Zoya Kachadurian of NYC and starred Paul Shafer, Danielle Bauman, Jason Taylor, Michele Markarian.
Jacqueline Papasian Kazarian from San Francisco gave an interesting talk about her "Uncle Bill" after the reading and a reception followed for the guests.
Saroyan is better known for his story "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze" and his play "The Time of Your Life". Written in 1941, "Hello Out There," tells the story of a wandering gambler who finds himself arrested and jailed in a small Texas town after a false claim of rape. A young girl who serves as the jail’s cook is the only person to believe in the gambler. The gambler ultimately gives all of his money to the girl before a mob, headed by the husband of the alleged victim, breaks into the jail to kill the gambler. This play was first produced for the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara. On the 10th of September, 1941, "Hello Out There" served as the curtain-raiser to George Bernard Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple."
Sponsoring and supporting readings and productions of Armenian plays and scripts is at the heart of the Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance’s mission to share the Armenian voice.
