Grew up in Queens, New York, just a few subway stops from Greenwich Village, and the heart of Gay America. At twenty-four, he founded the Ridiculous Theatrical Company, where he wrote, directed and performed in almost every production for the next two decades, often with Everett Quinton, his life partner and muse, by his side. Renowned for drag, high comedy, melodrama, satire, precise literary references, gender politics, sexual frolic, and a multitude of acting styles, the Ridiculous Theater guaranteed a kind of biting humor that could both sting and tickle. His many plays included Turds in Hell, Der Ring Gott Farblonjet, a riff on Wagner's Ring Cycle, Bluebeard, and The Mystery of Irma Vep, his most popular play, and a performer's tour-de-force. Ludlam continued working until almost the day he died of PCP pneumonia, just three months after his AIDS diagnosis. He was 44.

Heidi Ettinger, under her married name Heidi Landesman, made theatrical history when she became the first woman ever awarded a Tony for her set design of the musical Big River. Her work for that show (for which she also received a Tony as co-producer and several other awards, including the Drama Desk and Outer Critcs Circle prizes) was followed by her third Tony as designer of Secret Garden and her fourth nomination for producer. In all, she has been nominated for seven Tonys, won an Obie for Sustained Excellence, and has a mantelful of other prizes and nominations.

Ms. Ettinger’s career on Broadway began with the design for the Pulitzer prize winning ‘Night Mother by Marsha Norman and has continued without interruption (except for the birth of three sons) ever since. Among her favorite designs include the Michael Mayer production of Triumph of Love, the Jerry Zaks production of Smokey Joe’s Cafe, the folk artistry of Tom Sawyer, an enormous abstract elevator for Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame in Berlin, the calamitous but beautiful Red Shoes, and a number of productions at The 2nd Stage, The Public, and several residential theatres. She also served as co-producer for the Sondheim/Lapine hit Into the Woods. Most recently, she designed the set for the new opera by Stephen Schwartz (composer and lyricist of Wicked), Seance on a Wet Afternoon, based on the film of the same title, which will be produced in the spring of 2011 by The New York City Opera Company.

She is a graduate of Occidental College and received her Master’s degree from the Yale School of Drama, on whose Board she now sits as Advisor. She is also a member of the Boards of the Municipal Arts Society and The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival.

Bio as of November, 2007.

Born in Chicago in 1950, while at college in New York State he had several short plays produced and after graduating spent a year in England. Returning to America in 1973, he wrote a series of radio plays, many of which used for their source material current American affairs, notably the Watergate scandal as it unfolded. Richard Nelson's first professional stage production was The Killing of Yablonski. Developing his interest in reportage the play dealt with a journalist's investigation into a recent political assassination. This was followed by two more plays Conjuring An Event and Jungle Coup, both of which also had a reporter at the centre of the action. Over the next five years Nelson consciously experimented with different dramatic forms from the epic Rip Van Winkle or The Works to the mock 30s farce of An American Comedy, the agitprop of The Return of Pinocchio and the expressionism of Bal. Throughout the early 80s Richard Nelson also worked as a dramaturg to the British director, David Jones, the Rumanian Liviu Cliulei and the American Gregory Mosher. During this time, he prepared adaptations of plays from the international repertoire by Beaumarchais, Brecht, Chekhov, Erdman, Fo, Goldoni and Moliére. Working on Chekhov's Three Sisters had a particularly strong effect on his own original writing. These international relationships also developed an interest in cultural differences and rootlessness. This theme was given its first and most obvious expression in the 1983 play Between East and West, where a Czech emigre couple find themselves at a loss in New York City. This play was presented in England at the Hampstead Theatre. On a more popular front, he explored similar themes in his book for the American production of the musical Chess in 1988, where East meets West over the chess board. New England is the sixth play by Richard Nelson to be presented at the RSC. In each he has continued to explore his preoccupation with characters who are alienated from the world in which they find themselves. In Principia Scriptoriae two young writers are imprisoned in Central America and are forced to address their art in the face of tyranny. In Some Americans Abroad a group of American academics look to England for their cultural heritage, while in Two Shakespearean Actors 19th-century English and American actors in New York compete to establish their legitimacy. In Columbus and the Discovery of Japan heroic adventure is ironically explored as accident, while Misha's Party (co-written with Alexander Gelman) has Russian dinner guests failing to recognise the significance of a revolution happening outside their restaurant.

He was nominated for a Tony Award and won the Drama Desk Award for his design for Aint Supposed to Die... in 1972 and was nominated for a Drama Desk in 1983 for Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo and produced by Circle Reperatory Co.

Bio as of April, 2010.

ROBERT U. TAYLOR (Scenic Designer, Production Designer, VFX Art Director, CGI Art Director) began his career studying classical styles of painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania. He went on to Yale University to study Scenic Design under Donald Oenslager. Since then he has created designs for over one hundred productions in Repertory and Regional Theaters throughout the United States.

He has also designed many Off Broadway and Broadway productions in New York City (where he has had three shows running on Broadway at the same time). He won two Drama Desk Awards, the Maharam Award, and an Obie Award; Raisin, which he designed, won four Tonys. Clive Barnes said of his set for Beggar's Opera, "...it is the best setting I have seen in the New York Theatre all this season." Newsweek said of his work, "Taylor's' set... is perfect. This is one of those rare productions that advances the whole notion of theatre."

Taylor co-founded and designed all the sets for both the Colonnades Theatre Lab in 1976 (across from Joe Papp's Public Theatre on Lafayette St) which ran for several seasons in repertory, and the Greek Theatre of New York, which presented plays for three seasons by classical and modern Greek authors, in NYC.

He has had ten one man shows of his paintings, watercolor and oil, on the east coast and Texas. He has been on the faculty of St Cloud College, at Princeton University, Hunter College in New York, and taught graduate classes in CGI film VFX Design at the Rhode Island School of Design. He also has been a Lecturer on CGI film at Yale University. Several of his designs and models can be seen in various books on set design over the past 20 years, and have been on exhibition at the Smithsonian, the International Theater Institute, and at the San Antonio McNay museum's permanent collection of scenic art.

He has worked extensively in film and television, and has designed over seven hundred commercials, many of which have won Clios. His sets for these commercials included onstage Jungles, Forests, the North Pole with glacial ice, full scale rockets, Shakespearean heaths and moors, entire cities in model scale, distant planetary terrain, along with an enormous collection of house interiors of varying styles.

In 1989, Taylor was called by Doug Trumbull to design the production of the "Back to the Future" ride for Universal Studios' Florida and Hollywood theme parks. Using advanced motion control photographic techniques and detailed miniature sets, the simulated chase through time for the ride was filmed in the 180 IMAX Dome format. Acclaimed by critics and the ticket-buying public alike as the most exciting movie ride in the world, Back to the Future has been described by Premiere as "the attraction that even Disney folk regard with awe," and by the Los Angeles Times as "unlike any other motion picture format . . . the effect is unbelievably intense."

He then was Production Designer on another technologically advanced film and environment project for Steven Spielberg; "Cliffhanger". He designed a video simulator film for Sega, and a number of film projects using advanced projection systems for Doug Trumbull (one using the Biosphere Project in Arizona, remarkably similar to Trumbull's ground-breaking film - "Silent Running").

In 1992, Taylor began production and environment design on three large-scale attractions, directed by Douglas Trumbull for Luxor Las Vegas, a $350 million casino resort built by Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. The technologically cutting edge production of three films designed by Taylor, involved the process of integrating computer previsualization, live action and motion control miniature photography, computer graphic imagery, and digital image compositing in a manner never before attempted.

The resulting trilogy, entitled "Secrets of the Luxor Pyramid", opened in November 1993 and broke further ground in its innovative use of immersive technologies, receiving the annual Digital Hollywood Award for best virtual reality experience in the world. Variety noted that the attractions "... Set new standards for the film industry... has taken participatory films to a new level; The New York Times observed "... it's like being inside, not just at, the movies," and Hugh Downs of ABC News 20/20 told his television audience "you've never seen a movie like this one before... The seats are part of the action, giving new meaning to the term motion pictures!"

Mr. Taylor then was Visual Effects Art Director with Mass.Illusion for the feature film "Judge Dredd", designing a vast city of model and computer built futuristic architecture and graphics. Also for Mass.Illusion, he was VFX Art Director for a number of feature films: "Eraser" with Arnold Schwarzenegger; "Event Horizon", and effects for "Shadow Conspiracy", and the "painted" location effects for "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams. He designed "Starship Troopers", and shot planning and visualization for "Evita", "First Wife's Club" and the effects in "The Matrix", for John Gaeta, which V FX won an Oscar in 2000.

He then returned to work as VFX Art Director and Production Designer for Doug Trumbull, designing for Entertainment Design Workshop an unfinished CG project based on the book "Dinotopia".

His next project, which was "The Book of Pooh", was directed and produced by Mitchell Kriegman for Disney Productions. He designed and for the first and second season of BOP, for a total of 120 programs, on the Disney channel.

He subsequently designed several short 3D films and ridefilms for Powderkeg Productions (one of which won Best New Production at the IAPPA convention in Orlando, FL. 2002). He designed a Santa Claus theme park building for "Santa Claus Village" in Vermont - a themed 200' long Santa Claus Workshop several stories high, with accompanying interior themed entertainment; and several other US Theme Park 3D film projects.

In 2008/09, he designed for Adirondack Scenic an amusement park ride for Universal Studios Dubailand in Dubai. In 2010-11 he acted again as Production Designer for Doug Trumbull, designing several space station sets for a projected motion picture from the book "Ender's Game", and a Burger King commercial based on Doug's VFX for the film "Tree of Life". He recently completed a group of 34 paintings for a one-man show at the Welles Gallery, Lenox, MA in June 2010. He is engaged in providing detailed Concept Boards for various Independent film makers, and local architects. He completed a large interior design project for the Make A Wish Foundation: the 20,000 sq.ft. Wishing Castle in Monroe, NJ; a Sesame Street Darkride project for Resorts World, Universal Studios, Singapore, and three extensive show environment designs for Wuhan Movie Themepark in Wuhan, China.
