By Michael Downs| Baltimore Fishbowl Verified The Yale Repertory, an institution of American theater, celebrated its 50th anniversary eight years ago, in 2016. James Magruder’s book about the Rep’s history was first dreamed of as a way to mark that anniversary, but for many reasons (including a pandemic), the book is only now arriving on bookshelves.

By Michael Downs| Baltimore Magazine Verified For decades John W. Ruark has told the story at cocktail parties: how on a November night in 1977, as a student at what was then Towson State University, he took Truman Capote’s arm and led the inebriated, incoherent, profanity-spewing writer off stage. “Mr. Capote,” he told him, “It’s time to go.”A crowd of about 1,800 people had come to the university’s Towson Center to hear Capote read from his work, according to a report that week in The Towerlight, the school newspaper.
