About the play “LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion”
  The moment Ronald Rand takes the stage as Harold Clurman in his
solo performance, LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion, embodying Harold Clurman, through voice,
gesture and size, we are immediately thrust into a world of boundless
passion for the theatre, and taken on a inspiring journey that lingers
within our consciousness for a very long time.
Mr. Rand as writer and performer captures the essence of who Harold
Clurman was and what he stood for. His creation instills in the audience
an unforgettable experience of passion, courage and inspiration.
We follow Harold Clurman from his beginnings on the
Lower East Side, through his education at the Sorbonne in Paris with
Aaron Copland
as his roommate, his initiation into the theatre through The Provincetown
Players and The Theatre Guild, his friendship with Lee Strasberg, and
their decision with Cheryl Crawford, to found The Group Theatre, as well
as his relationships with Stella Adler, Alfred Stieglitz, Marlon Brando
and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, among several others.
LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion, starring Ronald Rand is a dramatic journey of
humor, boldness and fervor, of the man heralded as "the elder statesman
of the American Theatre." An experience you don't want to miss!
LET IT BE ART! Harold Clurman's Life of Passion is a SPONSORED PROJECT OF THE NEW YORK FOUNDATION OF THE ARTS.
