Mark Humphrey

When the soul of post-punk vinyl finds the heart of modern stage, a spiritus mundi is born. The one-acts showcase tribute to The Clash entitled “London Calling” transports the condensed emotions found in song and expands them into a wider human narrative found on stage. Not necessarily reinventing the wheel but taking it down a feckin' fun path.

American Repertory Theater of WNY will host a staged reading of Mark Humphrey's Artie Award winning play, 'Speed of Dark' on September 21st, 7:30 pm at the 545 Elmwood performance space.

In American Repertory Theater of WNY's inaugural season, the company found a perfect theatrical space to operate two of the three shows slated in the 2007-08 season. Working out of the TheaterLoft (545 Elmwood Avenue), home to the acclaimed and diverse Ujima Theatre Company, ART/WNY presented two works WHEN YA COMING BACK, RED RYDER, by Mark Medoff, and Tennessee William's THE ROSE TATTOO (which earned the company's first Artie Nomination for Best Ensemble). These two productions brought notoriety to the upstart company and established ART/WNY's reputation for producing thought-provoking, unknown or rarely done works that tell the American story.

The Curtain Up! production features Artie Award-winning playwright Mark Humphrey's weaving tale of dishonesty and loyalty in his work ROOMMATES.

As summer decides on whether to stick around or not, American Repertory Theater of WNY will come out of the company's season hiatus with one of the first events of the 2017-18 season.

Thursday evening November 19th was a busy night of art openings in Chelsea despite the torrential downpours that bathed Manhattan, but none more significant than the Suzanne LaFleur Exhibition opening reception at the Hollis Taggart Gallery at 521 West 26th Street. Attended wall-to-wall, canvas-to-canvas by lovers of abstract expressionism at its best, LaFleur's meteoric rise among art critics and collectors alike has established her as one of the preeminent artists of her generation in the genre. Scroll down for photos from the event!

In keeping with the company's mission statement of promoting and fostering an environment for regional playwrights, American Rep Theater of WNY will be presenting a one-night only reading of Mark Humphrey's ROOMMATES at ART in the Box, 16 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo NY 14209, 7:30 pm.
