Synopsis

After Hitler shuts down the Bauhaus, some of the faculty emigrate to Los Angeles, where scores are settled between the founder Walter Gropius, his ex-wife Alma Mahler and composer Arnold Schönberg.

"An ambitious three-part undertaking — three plays performed in two parts, with the second and third play combined in the latter — playwright Tom Jacobson's THE BAUHAUS PROJECT is set in a contemporary school for art and design in Southern California where a group of five students are pursuing an unusual art project: a historical re-enactment of what may have occurred at Bauhaus from its founding to its closure … Part 1 [WEIMAR, 1919–1925] covers the internal struggles within the institution itself: for example, the rivalry between [founding director Walter] Gropius and Johannes Itten, an artist and popular instructor who … exercised great influence over his students." —Deborah Klugman, Stage Raw

"Scintillating … Jacobson's broad array of ideas … reveal the breadth of his imagination. This project doesn't offer facile diversion — rather, it offers us labor, and the reward of that labor is well-worth its trouble. All of this doesn't even address the jaw-dropping beauty of what can only be called arias in Jacobson's writing." —Steven Leigh Morris, Stage Raw

"Fascinating … Artfully rendered … By the time the project concludes we have truly come to understand how, though the Bauhaus lasted but 14 years, its influence, diffused by its leading faculty members for decades to come, still exerts an influence over our concept of design, beauty and purpose." —Eric Gordon, People's World

"Impressive … A chilling warning for us all. Kudos for Tom Jacobson's research and creativity." —Leigh Kennicott, Showmag
