	Stein Soup
		Long cherished as a world-class figure for her stories, sketches and essays, Stein, author of over seventy plays, has remained obscure as a dramatist--partly because of her deliberate abstruseness of course, but also because most directors lack the insight, imagination and patience to paint her work, as it were, from memory.
		LeCompte's instinct for finding classic texts that are indeed freshened and clarified by her explosive multimedia deconstructions is, once again, part of what's impressive.
		Devoid of the arbitrariness and triviality that plagues so much other multimedia work, her pieces lay bare what was essential and enduring in the original texts and then force that core into intensely revealing interaction with mediated detritus from today's surrounding cultural environment.

		LeCompte: I was surrounded by big egos, all of them, and part of the reason that Spalding and I broke up is that I like to see a lot of people on stage and he really wanted to be seen alone.

		Co-founder Elizabeth LeCompte is a middle-aged woman with sandy hair and a deceptively quiet voice; she still rules the Wooster roost, and directs its latest effort, To You the Birdie!
		LeCompte relies upon her signature use of video images and voice dubbing, along with loud sound effects, to present a disjointed mural of court life.
		The script was so much a personification of Schmidt that, LeCompte said, one of her most difficult tasks ever as a director was finding the voice of Phèdre: "I was thinking of Paul all the time.

	NOT EITHER/OR BUT AND: Fragmentation and Consolidation in the Postmodern Theatre of Peter Sellars by Don Shewey
		Director Elizabeth LeCompte's ability both to boil down these works to their essence and to recast or reinvigorate their meaning through radical and often deeply personal theatrical juxtapositions has clearly emboldened Sellars in his staging of classic plays and operas.
		The previous generation of theater makers, those who were seen to be moving the theater forward, had put a premium on creating their own work, taking at best a critical attitude toward classical texts.
		In doing so, he hew to the tradition of directors such as Wilson, Foreman, Lee Breuer, Elizabeth LeCompte, and JoAnne Akalaitis, all of whom embrace a vision of theater that depends upon cross-disciplinary exchange to battle the insidious effect that photography, film, and television have had.

		As opposed to a psychological approach, the actors parody television hosts, or speak with their backs to the audience as monitors display close-ups of their eyes and a sound technician distorts their voices.

	Poor Theatre, a CurtainUp review
		The Wooster Group, directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, applies its polished jaunty deconstructionalism to a two-part tribute to their theatrical ancestor Jerzy Grotowski and contemporary dancemeister William Forsythe in Poor Theatre: A Series of Simulacra.
		Audience comments ranged from "a send-up" to to "a workshop?" The most tantalizing reaction was the audience laughter which seemed come out of nowhere at no particular object and for no special reason except perhaps an instinct to mirror the actors' joy.
		Director LeCompte appears on video screen as a critic who asks actress Sheena See why Acropolis is being done in Polish.

		Besides being the best combination of athleticism and drama this side of Salt Lake, director Elizabeth LeCompte gives each of Phèdre’s players a body part on which to fixate, and an industrial space in which to physically play out each character’s grief and obsessions.
		Theramenes, Hippolytos’ friend (a standout performance by the multi-talented Scott Shepherd), is also the mouthpiece of the group; overdubbing thoughts and dialogue for the major players, he is a living throat.
		Racine wrote that in Phèdre, "the mere thought of sin is as horrible as sin itself," and director Elizabeth LeCompte has managed to express each character’s sin through a multitude of twitchy, obsessive encounters and masturbatory gestures.

	SPALDING GRAY: My Life Is Art, a 1980 interview by Don Shewey
		These monologues grew out of a trilogy of more elaborate but equally personal theater pieces called Three Places in Rhode Island, created over a period of four years in collaboration with director Elizabeth LeCompte and a company of actors who, like Gray and LeCompte, are veterans of Richard Schechner's Performance Group.
		Gray found that by incorporating the reactions of the other actors, and by allowing LeCompte to edit the work and provide a visual framework for it, he was able to transform personal material into art without descending into self-indulgent confessionalism.
		But its careful exploration of volatile emotional issues (suicide, madness, religion, family, art) and its imaginative use of film, dance, music, child actors, and non-linear texts made it one of the most impressive and innovative theater events of the '70s.
