在美国路易斯维尔的演员剧院,每年春天举行一次新美国戏剧节(简称ATL)。九年来,ATL已经成为美国比较有名的戏剧中心之一,产生了《心灵之罪》、《上帝的阿格妮斯》等优秀作品。这个剧院在乔恩·琼利的指导下,近年来培养了一批年轻剧作家,包括马歇尔·诺曼、简·马丁、贝思·亨利等。一九八○年,这个剧院赢得了每年一次的美国戏剧奖。1885年春天有十几个戏在这里参加新美国戏剧节。从风格和主题看,有地方风俗剧、政治主题剧、历史剧,还有一个关于福音传道的讽谕剧。其中不少剧本在去年的戏剧节上已经上演过,一半以上是独幕剧。剧评家认为,把所有这些剧作联系在一起的,是简洁和狂热这两个不相干的因素。一般认为,最令人满意的剧本是《帐篷聚会》,
At the actor’s theater in Louisville, USA, a new American Theater Festival (ATL) is held every spring. For nine years, ATL has become one of the more famous theater centers in the United States. It has produced such outstanding works as Sin of Soul and Agnys of God. Under the auspices of Jon Kingli, the theater has trained a number of young dramatists in recent years, including Marshall Norman, Jane Martin, Beth Henry. In 1980, the theater won the annual American Drama Award. In the spring of 1885 there were a dozen plays here to attend the New American Theater Festival. From the style and theme, there are local customs, political drama, historical drama, as well as a satirical drama about evangelism. Many of these plays have been staged at last year’s festival and more than half are single-act shows. The critics think that linking all of these dramas is an irrelevant element of simplicity and fanaticism. It is generally believed that the most satisfying script is the “tent party”
