Remembering Frederic Franklin, Dance/USA Honor Recipient
Editor’s note: Dance/USA remembers Frederic Franklin, one of the United States’ great ballet dancers, teachers, stagers, and ballet masters. His career spanned much of the 20th century. In 2008, Franklin received the Dance/USA Honor award for his “extraordinary leadership in the field through artistic excellence and force of vision.” Franklin died on May 4, 2013. From the Green Room reprints excerpts from an interview conducted by long-time critic and dance writer Mindy Aloff conducted in 2008. Between 200 and 2001, Franklin was the subject of a 41-transcript oral history co-sponsored by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center and The George Balanchine Foundation.* If you have remembrances of Mr. Franklin, please share them below.

For Jon Robin Baitz, all politics is verbal
In the expansive living room of their bright Tribeca apartment, Jon Robin Baitz and his friendly, three-legged dog Trip both pad about restlessly, looking for comfortable places to alight. For the 51-year-old Broadway playwright, who recently underwent back surgery, this task proves especially daunting.
