Playwright Israel Horovitz, 81

The author of more than 70 scripts, “[he] enjoyed his biggest successes Off Broadway and in regional and European theaters” — he was reportedly the most-produced American playwright in France — “[notably] at the Gloucester Stage Company in Massachusetts, which he helped found in 1979. His plays gave opportunities to a number of young actors who went on to become household names. … [But his] career was tarnished by accusations by multiple women that he had sexually assaulted them.” – The New York Times

Virtual Cabaret That You Can Boss Around

“In addition to occasionally telling a performer what to do, audience members set the order in which the show’s components — short scenes (written by Bear), dances, musical bits, computer-generated poetry — were executed. We could raise a virtual hand to roll virtual dice, and the cast of six would perform whatever scene had been assigned to the resulting number.” – The New York Times
