| Red Bull Theater Continues Its Mission During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Crisis on Monday, April 27th with Its Second RemarkaBull Podversation: "CRY HAVOC" WITH ELIZABETH MARVEL RedBullTheater.com/remarkabull-podversations Red Bull Theater (Jesse Berger, Founder and Artistic Director | Jim Bredeson, Managing Director) today announced the next event of its special benefit programming to provide an opportunity for its community of artists and theater lovers to gather in the virtual space during this unprecedented time of COVID-19: a RemarkaBull Podversation with Elizabeth Marvel. This FREE event can be viewed by anyone through a variety of Livestreams and on Facebook Live. RemarkaBull Podversations are a series of informal, online conversations that investigate approaches to essential passages from the Shakespearean and Jacobean canon ― and beyond ― with some of the finest actors working in the classical theater today. On Monday, April 27th: "Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war" with Elizabeth Marvel, who will join Red Bull's Associate Producer Nathan Winkelstein for a conversation focused on Mark Antony's other iconic speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Elizabeth Marvel took on the role in Oskar Eustis's controversial 2017 production for Shakespeare in the Park. She'll read the passage and discuss her approach to the text. They'll take questions from lucky registrants, too. Red Bull is also inviting up to 50 participants to connect via Zoom. A few lucky participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the Podversation. If you would like that opportunity to participate actively, complete your free registration here. Selected registrants will receive a notification of their selection to participate by 9:00 am on Monday, April 27. If you simply want to view the Podversation, there is no need to register. American-born stage and screen actor Elizabeth Marvel has been an integral part of the New York theater scene since graduating from Juilliard. She has won four Obie Awards for her work Off-Broadway, most notably for her role of Hedda Gabler in Ivo Van Hove's 2004 revival of the play. She received a Drama Desk Award nomination for her performance in Fifty Words.

Other Broadway credits include King Lear opposite Glenda Jackson, Picnic, Top Girls, Seascape, An American Daughter, Taking Sides opposite Ed Harris, Saint Joan, and The Seagull. Ms Marvel most recently enjoyed recurring roles on NBC's "Manifest," "House of Cards" for Netflix, and "Homeland" on Showtime.

Red Bull Theater LIVE launched Monday, April 20th with the FREE LIVESTREAM presentation of an online reading of John Ford's classic play 'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE, featuring the cast of Red Bull's acclaimed 2015 Off-Broadway production. These informal FREE events are designed to continue to serve Red Bull Theater's mission to revitalize the classics for today's audience during the uncertain time brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The livestreams will be available at Red Bull Theater's website at https://www.redbulltheater.com/live, on Facebook, and at VIMEO. Next up for Red Bull Theater LIVE is The Witch of Edmonton on May 4, which Red Bull Theater produced Off-Broadway in 2011. The reading will feature members of the original company led by Charlayne Woodard in the titular role. Red Bull Theater wishes to express its gratitude to the Performers' Unions: ACTORS' EQUITY ASSOCIATION, AMERICAN GUILD OF MUSICAL ARTISTS, AMERICAN GUILD OF VARIETY ARTISTS, and SAG-AFTRA through Theatre Authority, Inc. for their cooperation in permitting the Artists to appear on these programs. Red Bull Theater, hailed as "the city's gutsiest classical theater" by Time Out New York, brings rarely seen classic plays to dynamic new life for contemporary audiences, uniting a respect for tradition with a modern sensibility. Named for the rowdy Jacobean playhouse that illegally performed plays in England during the years of Puritan rule, Red Bull Theater is New York City's home for dynamic performances of great plays that stand the test of time. With the Jacobean plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries as its cornerstone, the company also produces new works that are in conversation with the classics. A home for artists, scholars and students, Red Bull Theater delights and engages the intellect and imagination of audiences, and strives to make its work accessible, diverse, and welcoming to all. Red Bull Theater believes in the power of great classic stories and plays of heightened language to deepen our understanding of the human condition, in the special ability of live theater to create unique, collective experiences, and the timeless capacity of classical theater to illuminate the events of our times. Variety agreed, hailing Red Bull's work as: "Proof that classical theater can still be surprising after hundreds of years." Since its debut in 2003 with a production of Shakespeare's Pericles starring Daniel Breaker, Red Bull Theater has served adventurous theatergoers with Off-Broadway productions, Revelation Readings, and the annual Short New Play Festival. The company also offers outreach programs including Shakespeare in Schools bringing professional actors and teaching artists into public school classrooms; Bull Sessions, free post-play discussions with top scholars; and Master Classes in classical acting led by veteran theater professionals. "The classics-shaking Red Bull Theater," as Time Out NY has called it, has presented 20 Off-Broadway productions and nearly 200 Revelation Readings of rarely seen classics, serving a community of more than 5,000 artists and providing quality artistic programming to an audience of over 65,000. The company's unique programming has received ongoing critical acclaim, and has been recognized with Lortel, Drama Desk, Drama League, Callaway, Off Broadway Alliance, and OBIE nominations and Awards.
