Description: Programs from Switch Bitch and Warp! 1973 plus programs inserts. Switch Bitch Women Behind Pars Warp II & III The Organic Theater was founded in 1969 in Madison, Wisconsin by Stuart Gordon and Carolyn Purdy-Gordon. Gordon had already produced a number of plays as a drama student at the University of Wisconsin, including The Game Show, an original “audience-assault” piece and an updated version of Peter Pan which was banned by the University because of the inclusion of a nude sequence. On Paul Sills’ invitation, Gordon moved the company to Chicago in 1970. After two shows at the Holy Covenant Church (Animal Farm and an adaptation of The Odyssey), the Organic moved into one of the theaters at the Body Politic on Lincoln Avenue. Their first show The Tarot Cards was an original production consisting of 22 scenes based on the audiences' shuffling and cutting of a Tarot deck. Their next production, a commedia del arte style Candide, went on to a short run at New York’s Public Theater. In 1971, the Organic opened Warp, an original science-fiction epic adventure written in serial form by Stuart Gordon and Lenny Kleinfeld (pen name, Bury St. Edmund). The three full-length plays played to sold-out houses for a year. In February 1973, the Organic took Warp to the Ambassador Theatre in New York. The show ran for a brief five days, although many of the reviews were positive. Cookie Gluck won the New York Drama Desk Award for Most Promising New Costume Designer.
