THIS PRODUCTION HAS BROADWAY POTENTIAL TELEVISION WRITER/PRODUCER OF THE BRADY BUNCH & GILLIGANS ISLANDLLOYD SCHWARTZ IS THE WRITER/ BRAINCHILD BEHIND THIS PRODUCTIONSchwartz said “ I was intrigued with the idea of what would happen if the very troubled Shakespearean characters went to couples therapy. What would it be like if Hamlet and Ophelia sought help? Or Romeo and Juliet? Or MacBeth and Lady MacBeth? Or Othello and Desdemona? or Kate and Petruchio? Would it help? And I then started imagining if the therapist had her own problems which would make her patient's problems even worse. And it leads to a group therapy where they are all there, and whatever problems they have get even worse. CLASSIC COUPLES COUNSELING is a comedy that pokes fun at Shakespeare's most famous couples...a comedy about tragedies. Or as Shakespeare said in "A ;Midsummer's Night Dreram:" "Oh, what fools these mortals. be."Established in 1962, Theatre West is the oldest continually running professional theatre company in the city of Los Angeles. It is a membership collective of actors, playwrights, directors, and technicians.

Theatre West has produced more than 300 plays and musicals. Of these plays, nearly 70% are original works developed in its workshops and many have led to Broadway, regional tours, and feature films including A Bronx Tale by Chazz Palminteri and A Very Brady Musical by Lloyd Schwartz and Hope Juber.

Shakespeare is one of the most famous people ever born, and part of the reason for that is his characters are all memorable and well-written.  They're also all riddled with neuroses.  Apparently it's not just modern life that breaks you down.  It happened 450 years ago too, and it was common enough to write numerous plays about it.  Lloyd decided to capitalize on this by writing Classic Couples Counseling, a play about some of said characters receiving modern-day psychotherapy.

In 'The Splendid And The Vile,' author Erik Larson details Churchill's first year in office, during which England endured a Nazi bombing campaign that killed more than 44,000 civilians. Larson says Churchill told his citizens the truth and inspired them to resist. (Originally Broadcast March, 2020)Lloyd Schwartz shares a collection of songs by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong that's particularly soothing right now.

John Barry's 2004 book about the 1918 influenza pandemic is a current bestseller. Barry talks about the parallels that are relevant to today's COVID-19 crisis. In both cases, he says, "the outbreak was trivialized for a long time." Also, we remember eccentric pop music figure Ian Whitcomb. Many people knew him for his 1965 novelty song 'You Turn Me On,' which was a top 10 hit. He died last month at 78.And classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz shares what he's been listening to during these difficult times.

Author Max Brooks became an expert on disaster preparedness — from pandemics to nuclear war — through researching for his books, 'World War Z,' 'Germ Warfare' and the forthcoming 'Devolution.' Classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz recommends some music to listen to that feels right for this moment: A compilation of all the songs Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded together. It's called 'Cheek to Cheek.' We remember Broadway playwright Terrence McNally, who died March 24 due to complications related to COVID-19. He won Tony awards for 'Kiss of the Spider Woman,' 'Ragtime' and 'Master Class.' McNally was openly gay and wrote about the lives of gay men in his plays. He spoke with 'Fresh Air' in 1993.

We also cover a couple of pieces in the magazine about a blackface confession, and the latest season of True Detective. Stick around for the poetry of Richard Milhous Nixon, too.

Lloyd Schwartz, looks back at 50 years of the bunch named Brady

May 7, 2018 at the Boston Athenæum. Poets are supposed to pour their souls into their work. In so doing, however, they often adopt masks, speaking through others. This cast of characters can be extremely varied: genders are switched, professions are tried on, contrary ideas rehearsed, Phillis Wheatley hangs out with Robinson Crusoe, Sacagawea headlines with Crazy Jane. This set of readings by actors from The Poets' Theatre, which ranges from Erica Funkhouser to Alfred Lord Tennyson to Richard Howard, from the Earl of Rochester to Elizabeth Bishop to Lloyd Schwartz, reveals poets in masquerade, ventriloquizing a wide array of extraordinary individuals, even pretending to be... versions of themselves.

In this installment, poet and Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Lloyd Schwartz argues that creativity is a skill that can -- and should -- be taught.

January 18, 2017 at the Boston Athenæum. Historically, Boston has been home to numerous prominent American poets. This remains true today, making its civic moniker of “the Athens of America” as fitting now as it was in the nineteenth century. This evening’s performance, directed by Poets’ Theatre President and Artistic Director Robert Scanlan, is a gathering of Boston’s best poets, including Jennie Barber, Martha Collins, David Ferry, Regie Gibson, George Kalogeris, Marcia Karp, Fred Marchant, Jill McDonough, Lloyd Schwartz, and Meg Tyler. They will read their own works paired with the works of their nineteenth-century predecessors, invoking the ghosts of poets such as William Cullen Bryant, Lydia Maria Child, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathanial Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edgar Allan Poe, and Walt Whitman. The program will pay tribute to the Athenæum’s rich historical and literary roots while demonstrating how a living and contemporary literary scene continues to be nourished by this tradition.

Lloyd Schwartz is a surly bastard that doesn't pull any punches. The Night Time Show staff sat down with Lloyd who didn't give a crap about anybody's feelings past present or future. Lloyd tells it like it is and walks us through the history of Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch and what it was like to help Marcia Brady get over it a drug addiction. Find your safe space... It's time for the NIGHT TIME SHOW!

We’re celebrating THE BRADY BUNCH with Actress Jennifer Elise Cox (“The Brady Bunch Movie”) & Executive Producer (“The Brady Bunch”) Lloyd Schwartz A glowing The post 'The Brady Bunch Movie' Star Jennifer Elise Cox & 'The Brady Bunch' Executive Producer Lloyd Schwartz first appeared on Pop Culture Tonight.

Suzanne and Bob talk about their new book, Where Hollywood Hides: Santa Barbara, and are then joined by Lloyd Schwartz, one of TV’s most prolific writer-producers for stories of his long and successful career in Hollywood. Starting as a standup comic (with a member of The Black Panthers as his working partner), Lloyd recalls selling his first network script while still in college and describes the confidence and writing skills that made him Hollywood’s youngest television producer. With TV writing credits ranging from Harper Valley PTA and Baywatch to movies like The Invisible Woman and A Very Brady Christmas, Lloyd was well prepared when he became the producer of one of television’s most iconic series of all time, The Brady Bunch. Lloyd doesn’t pull any punches as he describes his notion of “happy projects” and reveals his secret to building a lasting writing career and delivers a realistic and practical step-by-step strategy for breaking into the studio system.  “If you do exactly what I’m saying, you’ll get into the business”. Throughout the conversation, Lloyd shares stories of his favorite actors, talks about what it was like moving up through the ranks from dialogue coach to producer—eventually becoming a network executive—and then to writing America’s first live dinner theatre plays. It’s a high-energy inspirational interview peppered with rock-solid tips for surviving in Hollywood, including Lloyd’s personal mantra “The phone will never ring.  You have to make it happen.” Lloyd Schwartz has a unique and inspiring story, and if you want “the keys to making it in Hollywood”, you’ll want to hear this podcast.    

A generation of great journalists cut their teeth at alt-weeklies, and The Boston Phoenix produced some of the best of them. When the Phoenix announced it was closing last March, the city lost a powerful cultural force and a vibrant source of information. We discuss the Phoenix‘s legacy and the ways in which its loss will affect Boston. Panelists are author and essayist Anita Diamant, who started out answering the editor’s phone in the mid-1970s; Charles Pierce of Esquire and NPR, and a staff writer with the Phoenix in the 1980s and ’90s; poet and classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz, who won a Pulitzer Prize with the Phoenix; and Carly Carioli, who started as an intern and rose to become the paper’s editor. Seth Mnookin moderates.

An informal conversation remembering the life and work of Elizabeth Bishop, with Lloyd Schwartz, Frank Bidart, Rosanna Warren, Gail Mazur, and Megan Marshall. Conducted at Harvard University in March 2012, and used by permission of the participants and the Woodberry Poetry Room, Harvard College Library. To see the event video, click here.
