The Public Theater’s 2006 Summer Gala will bring the Public’s 50th Anniversary Season to a close by honoring Kevin Kline

contributions to The Public Theater over the last four decades. The Gala will take place on
Wednesday, June 28th at the Delacorte on the opening night of Macbeth, the first production this summer of
Shakespeare in the Park. Artistic director Oskar Eustis said “Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep are the greatest stage actors of their
generation and are indelibly linked to the history of The Public Theater. In honoring
them we celebrate their achievements of the past and welcome them back to a central
role in The Public Theater’s future.” The full article can be read

Streep talks upcoming projects
Posted: 2006-04-12 | Source: Webmaster |
In an article by the Summerville Journal, relating to her recent win of the Cooldige Award, Meryl
has given a statement on her upcoming work. Here's what she said:
I just finished a very weird little piece from the artist Laurie Simmons, who makes interesting
photographs, called “The Language of Regret.” She’s made her first film, and I did a sequence
in that where I sing with Adam Guettel. And then I’m doing Tony Kushner’s adaptation of
“Mother Courage” in Central Park. And I’m making a film with the Chinese director Chen
Shi-Zheng, called “Dark Matter,” in June.

Meryl Streep receives Coolidge Award
Posted: 2006-04-06 | Source: Webmaster |
Streep blew into Brookline yesterday to accept the third annual Coolidge Award, handed out by
the independent nonprofit Coolidge Corner Theatre to honor original and challenging filmmaking.
“This award is really celebrating not so much me as what a small art theater, independent (means),
and that creature has to be preserved,” she said yesterday. “I think it’s a really important
thing and I’m proud to help out. Some of my really good friends are associated with the
theater and I’m happy to support that.”
Here's
an article on Meryl's Coolidge Appearance. More photos in the

Premiere Magazine honors 100 Greatest Performances of all Time
Posted: 2006-04-03 | Source: Webmaster |
While the first spot for the greatest performance of all time went to Peter O'Toole's "Lawrence
of Arabia", Meryl is featured with two performances on Premiere's 100# list. Many thanks
to Maverick for the transcript:
# 71: Meryl Streep as Karen Silkwood (Silkwood, 1983)
Karen Silkwood - based on her real-life whistle-blower at an unsafe nuclear plant - undergoes an ordeal that has forever linked Streep's suffering face with our fear of nuclear power. Karen reveals her factory's questionable safety standards and soon after finds herself so contaminated with plutonium that even her bathroom sink sets off a Geiger counter. Streep loses her patrician self entirely in the loose-limbed, radical Texan, who flashes a harassing coworker and takes bites of other people's sandwiches. With a simple flare of her nostrils and widening of her eyes, you can feel her skin crawl at the thought of the radioactive poison in her body.
# 3: Meryl Streep as Sophie Zawistowska (Sophie's Choice, 1982)
Streep puts a face on the horror of the Holocaust and the torment of survivor's guilt in a performance so finely layered, so exquisitely accented (in English, Polish and German, no less), that she transcends her craft. Her Auschwitz inmate flowers from sickness to the hope of rebirth in a volatile love affair and the promise of America. But it's an impossible dream, and Streep goes to excruciatingly painful depths to show, in the twitch of her face and the frailty of her touch, that Sophie can never escape her past.
