John Beckman completed another year of producing outstanding theater in Chicago including two Joseph Jefferson Citation–recommended original plays: [the] Violent Sex by David Scott Hay, and Arrangement for Two Violas by Susan Lieberman. His company, Visions & Voices, has chosen to go on hiatus. “No one ever really quits theater, you just take a break,” explains John. Plans are underway to shoot [the] Violent Sex as a low-budget film. John was “on location” in New Jersey in May for the installation of Action! An Adventure in Moviemaking—the traveling exhibit he produced for his employer, the Museum of Science & Industry. John serves as co-chair of the Skidmore club in Chicago, which has many great events scheduled this year. For more information, visit www.skidmore.edu/alumni and click on “clubs.”
