Playwright Ellen Fairey will make her New York playwrighting debut with Graceland . Her first play, 'Girl 20' was named one of the 10 Best Plays of 2006 by Chicago Tribune theatre critic Chris Jones and was nominated for two LA Weekly theatre awards. Graceland premiered earlier this earlier this year at Chicago's Profiles Theatre. Director Henry Wishcamper directed Conor McPherson's 'Port Authority' at the Atlantic Theater Company and 'The Seafarer' at Hartford TheaterWorks, Horton Foote's 'Talking Pictures' at the Goodman Theatre and the NY premiere of Jane Martin's 'Flags' at 59E59ST. Citing the need to develop strong relationships with new artists and to develop a new audience, Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of Artistic Director Andre Bishop and Executive Producer, Bernard Gersten) created LCT3 to offer new artists fully staged productions. Paige Evans is the Director of LCT3. This spring, LCT has begun construction of a new theater, rehearsal and office space complex on the roof of the Vivian Beaumont Theater.
