Taper Picks Award Winners for ’95 Season : Theater: Edward Albee’s ‘Three Tall Women’ and the Gordons’ ‘Family Business’ fill two of six slots on the upcoming schedule.

Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Three Tall Women” and David and Ain Gordon’s “The Family Business” will take two of the first three slots on the Mark Taper Forum’s 1995-96 season, joining the previously reported “Slavs!”

The choices were announced in a renewal brochure recently mailed to Taper subscribers, along with a list of six plays from which the season’s remaining three productions will be chosen.

Tony Kushner’s “Slavs! and “The Family Business” will share a subscription slot, with subscribers receiving only one as part of their packages. That choice will depend on whether a subscriber’s tickets fall into the run of “Slavs!” (Oct. 26- Nov. 17) or that of “The Family Business” (Dec. 3-22). But any subscriber can purchase half-price tickets to the other show.

“The Family Business” was written by the son-father team of Ain and renowned post-modern dancer-choreographer-writer David Gordon, who will perform it along with Valda Setterfield, Ain’s mother and David’s wife. David Gordon’s theater piece “The Mysteries and What’s So Funny?” was staged at UCLA’s Wadsworth Theater in 1992.

In “The Family Business,” which won an Obie in 1994, David Gordon plays an ailing aunt whose condition dominates her family. A new production that just opened at New York Theatre Workshop was hailed by Newsday as “a wonder” and by the New York Post as “engrossing,” but was mostly panned by the New York Times.

Taper artistic director Gordon Davidson said he is trying to import the original New York production of “Three Tall Women,” which is scheduled Jan. 11-Feb. 18.

The six plays from which the last three season slots will be filled:

* “Psychopathia Sexualis,” a new comedy by John Patrick Shanley (“Moonstruck”) about a man who feels compelled to wear his father’s argyle socks during sex;

* “Blade to the Heat” by Taper literary associate Oliver Mayer, about two Latino boxers, which was staged by George C. Wolfe for the New York Shakespeare Festival last fall;

* “Changes of Heart” by 18th-Century writer Marivaux, adapted and directed by Stephen Wads- worth (Music Center Opera’s “Xerxes” last fall), who previously did this play at the McCarter Theatre in New Jersey;

* “Suburbia,” Eric Bogosian’s first multi-actor play (as opposed to his noted solo shows), first staged at New York’s Lincoln Center last summer;

* “Simpatico,” Sam Shepard’s play about a businessman returning to his native Cucamonga, first staged in New York last fall;

* “Nine Armenians,” by New York actress Leslie Ayvazian, about three generations of Armenian Americans, to be premiered in August at Seattle’s Intiman Theatre.
