| Learn to spell apocalypse and spewing and they just might. Meantime, let's look at some of Richard's qualifications, shall we? (I hope he doesn't mind my tooting his horn for him. Ah, who am I kiddin', he loves it!) RICHARD HAASE holds a BFA in Drama (NYU School of the Arts), an MA in Dramaturgy and Performance Studies (NYU Grad School of Arts and Sciences), an MA in Psychology (CCNY), and is a current candidate for an MA in Criminal Psychology (CCNY). He is also one of the major working auteurs of the 21st century. Since 1976, when he was the youngest professional director in America, he has been active as the principal creative (writer, director, composer, lyricist, producer and dramaturg) in developing some of the entertainment industry's most important new projects in both theater and major legitimate theatrical release motion pictures and television. He is now developing several major projects for the Broadway stage, both musical and non-musical, for such known industry legends and major award winners/nominees as Michael and Jermaine Jackson, Melvin and Mario Van Peebles, Tom O'Horgan, Bernadette Stanis, Andre de Shields, and Broadway composer Barry Keating, among others. Among his diverse credentials as a director, Mr. Haase was legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member LaVern Baker's stage director since 1990, directing her in his musical High Tea at the legendary Cotton Club in 1992, and again in his internationally acclaimed groundbreaking professional revival (and first major professional African American production) of Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz's Grammy Award winning worldwide musical mega-hit Godspell, which ran at Harlem's legendary Victoria Theatre during the 1996–98 seasons. Mr. Haase was also the director for the first Off-Broadway revival of Hair in NYC in 1980, which also played a command performance in front of 100,000 people on the Capitol steps in Washington, D.C. He has also directed the works of Sartre (No Exit at the Entermedia and West Fourth Street Theatres amongst others), Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Strindberg (Miss Julie and The Stronger), Ibsen (Hedda Gabler), Chekhov (The Seagull), Wedekind (Lulu), Genet (Deathwatch), and Shakespeare (Twelfth Night at Circle in the Square downtown and Hamlet), amongst others. As a composer and lyricist, Mr. Haase has collaborated with the late Grammy winning composer Keith Diamond and Tony Award nominated composer Barry Keating, amongst others, on such projects as Millennium Man (with Barry Keating), President Macbeth, The Phantom (suggested principal: Michael Jackson), Suddenly Midsummer (a Keith Diamond jukebox musical), Star Crossed Lovers, Excusez Moi, Sirens, Brown Unbound (co-written with international best selling novelist and legendary literary figure Joyce MacIver), Clownz (a rock opera based on Leoncavallo’s tale of love, passion, and show biz gone wrong), Soul on Fire: The LaVern Baker Musical, and High Tea. As a playwright and television writer, his works include Ghost (a modernization of the Ibsen masterpiece), Mrs. Warren's Profession (a modern update of the George Bernard Shaw play), Frederick Douglass, Cool to Be Earnest (a modern update of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest), and On the Fritz. In development for television are Miami Law and One Time. Mr. Haase has also done work as a writer, principal character actor and announcer for WNBC Radio in New York City. During the 1985-86 radio season, his characterizations and material were heard on such shows as Janet from Another Planet, The Joey Reynolds Show, and of course, Howard Stern. Since 1976, Mr. Haase has been the artistic director of the Two Per Cent Solution Repertory Company, and is part of said company's head producer unit, the Two Per Cent Solution Production and Development Company Inc., as well. From 1977-1981, he was the artistic director of the NYU Repertory Theatre and "Shakespeare in Washington Square Park.: From 1982-85, he served as Senior Vice President of Project Development for Walsh Communications, an NBC affiliate, and from 1986-89, he was the Vice President of Management and Operations for K Films, a Warner Bros. affiliate, under CEO and movie industry legend Sid Kiwitt. He was also a speechwriter for former NYC Mayor David Dinkins, and at one point headed the postgraduate Professional Playwriting Program at Middlesex College. Mr. Haase is a member of the Writer's Guild of America – East, the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and the Dramatist's Guild. He is currently represented by Steve Kurtz, Esq. of Marquee International, the same team that brought Christina Aguilera through her first Grammy Award winning season.
