O S A E S

Mad Cow Theatre Mad Cow Theatre was founded on the belief that the theatre is a dynamic and powerful means of social understanding, as well as a hugely entertaining art form.

Through the combination of passionate, skillful acting and compelling, insightful writing, nurtured by an attentive and ever-changing process, Mad Cow presents entertaining works of theatre to an ever-widening audience — promoting, enhancing, and celebrating the human condition through art.

Mad Cow Theatre is supported in part with public funds from the State of Florida, Department of State, Division

of Cultural Affairs; the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; the Florida Arts Council; the National Endowment for the Arts, the Downtown Development Board; and Orange County through the Arts & Cultural Affairs Program and United Arts of Central Florida, home of Orlandoatplay.com and UAArtsEd.com. A great nation deserves great art!

Mad Cow is a 501(c)(3) organization and welcomes all donations including funds, materials, time, and goodwill. We are especially delighted when audience members bring others to share the theatrical experience.

uncredited, on the screenplay of the 1950 film adaptation.

His other stage work includes directing The Diary of Anne Frank (1955), which ran for 717 performances, and the musical Funny Girl (1964).

Kanin wrote and directed his last play, Peccadillo, in 1985, the same year he was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.

His first film as a director was A Man to Remember (1938), which The New York Times considered one of the ten best films of 1938. Kanin was twenty-six at the time. Other directing credits include The Great Man Votes (1939), My Favorite Wife (1940), They Knew What They Wanted (1940) and Tom, Dick and Harry (1941).

Kanin’s Hollywood career was interrupted by the draft. He served in the United States Army from 1941 to 1945. During this time Kanin, with Carol Reed, codirect General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s official record of the Allied Invasion, the Academy-award-winning documentary The True Glory (1945).

During this time, he began writing what would become his greatest play, Born Yesterday.

However, Kanin’s best-remembered screenplays, were written in collaboration with his wife, actress Ruth Gordon, whom he married in 1942. Together, they wrote the Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn film comedies Adam’s Rib (1949) and Pat and Mike (1952), as well as A Double Life (1947), starring Ronald Colman, all directed by George Cukor.

Kanin died at age 86 in Manhattan of undisclosed causes.

(playwright)

began his show business career as a jazz musician, burlesque comedian, and actor.

He graduGarson Kanin ated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and made his Broadway debut in Little Ol’ Boy (1933). In 1935, Kanin was cast in a George Abbott play and soon became Abbott’s assistant. Kanin made his Broadway debut as a director in 1936, at the age of twenty-four, with Hitch Your Wagon.

In 1945, Kanin directed Spencer Tracy in Tracy’s first play in 15 years.

Tracy had been through a dark patch personally—culminating with a stay in hospital—and Katharine Hepburn felt that a play would help restore his focus.

Tracy told a journalist, “I’m coming back to Broadway to see if I can still act.” The play was The Rugged Path by Robert E. Sherwood.

The Rugged Path was a difficult production, with Kanin later writing, “In the ten days prior to the New York opening all the important relationships had deteriorated. Spencer was tense and unbending, could not, or would not, take direction”.

Kanin’s 1946 play Born Yesterday, which he also directed, ran for 1,642 performances. Kanin worked,
