In Alabama State Parks, a Show About the Boys Who Built Them
American Theatre – June 27
Wherever director Annie G. Levy goes, she finds a favorite tree. It’s a game she’s played since she was young—“such an only child thing,” Levy modestly chuckles. So when Levy—a thrice-degreed, Ivy-groomed Manhattanite—left her faculty position at Pace University to lead the MFA Directing program at the University of Alabama, she was sure to find a favorite tree in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Luckily, there were many trees to choose from. To some, Levy’s journey could seem reminiscent of the premise behind the 1990s television show “Northern Exposure,” a fish-out-of-water setup where a Jewish Columbia grad disembarks from the comfort of America’s biggest city for something more rural. What Levy found was a community of artists, students, and collaborators who care about theatre just as much as they care about “Roll Tide” football. She also found an opportunity to revive and tour a show in a state where the themes are wildly relevant.
