2015/16 SEASON 5 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

I have always loved LBJ.

President Johnson had brashness, strength and the ability to talk anyone into anything. There’s a reason his biography is titled The Master of the Senate. I think he was one of the greatest presidents in my lifetime.. From his signature War on Poverty program to championing the Civil Rights Act, he was a bold visionary who got things done. At this moment of history, it’s a joy to reflect on his ability to get results — through charm, intelligence and lots of arm twisting. What can I say, I’m from Alaska and I like big personalities.

I first sawAll the Way three years ago at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and I was riveted. This work chronicles a significant chapter of our history: the transitional period after President Kennedy’s assassination and the fluctuating power dynamic between the people and the government. I’m particularly excited to have Jack Willis reprise his role as President Johnson. He is the perfect, towering figure to play LBJ, a role he created for both All the Way and The Great Society (Robert Schenkkan’s sequel covering the later years of LBJ’s presidency) in their premieres at OSF. Guided by the sophisticated hand of director Kyle Donnelly, Jack will bring this pivotal period in America to life, along with an exceptional cast and design team.

All the Way is a terrific story for the Washington audience. We live and breathe politics in D.C. We wake up in the morning to The Washington Post and The New York Times. We listen to NPR during the morning commute. We argue about the primaries over dinner every evening. In the midst of an intense presidential election, it seems as though the issues raised in this play are as relevant today as they were in the 1960s.

All the Way is this year’s second production to come from OSF. Earlier this season we partnered on the co-commission of Sweat, a brilliant new work by Lynn Nottage which recently won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Political work and a strong relationship to our community are passionate values at both of our theaters. I look forward to working with our friends at OSF again next season, when we will co-produce the world premiere of Roe by Lisa Loomer, a powerful play about one of the most influential Supreme Court cases of our time.

I can only imagine the discussions in the lobby during this production. Enjoy the show.

All best,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

6 2015/16 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

You may be wondering how celebrated plays like All the Way get developed? They don’t always start with the Oval Office, but they almost always begin with a big idea.

Arena has a meaningful partnership with Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF). As sister resident theaters, we pride ourselves on our commitment to new work. All the Way makes its D.C. debut after premiering at OSF as part of their commissioning program, American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle. Big ideas and legacy plays need time; and both Arena and OSF have found the resources to create, develop and cultivate powerful stories for the stage.

At Arena, we also understand that significant initiatives require investment. That is why we host resident playwrights, the American Voices New Play Institute (AVNPI) and commission new works. AVNPI was launched in 2009 and endures. It has focused its energies around the Institute residencies and the creation of new development opportunities for writers locally and nationally through the Playwrights’ Arena and Kogod Cradle Series, in addition to supporting our commissioned writers and all ongoing new play development efforts. Lydia R. Diamond, Amy Freed, Katori Hall, Samuel D. Hunter, Lisa Kron, Charles Randolph-Wright, John Strand and Karen Zacarías have all been resident playwrights. David Henry Hwang and Lynn Nottage hold project residences with Arena, and some of our current commissioned playwrights include Mary Kathryn Nagle, Aaron Posner and Cheryl L. West.

You have seen some of these commissioned world premieres come alive on our stages over the years with Camp David by Lawrence Wright and The Originalist by John Strand; earlier this season with Destiny of Desire by Karen Zacarías; and next season brings Intelligence by Jacqueline E. Lawton.

Sometimes a play takes one year from an idea to opening night; sometimes it takes ten years. Arena’s enduring instinct is to commission new, powerful plays and raise them in a supportive environment. We are encouraged to present their plays (whether from our own or others’ development programs) by the welcome embrace of our Arena audience who understands the value of new work being a vital part of our season.

Look at all the great stories ahead of us!

Thanks for reading!

Edgar Dobie, Executive Producer

DRAMATURG’S NOTEBOOK

BY LINDA LOMBARDI, ARTISTIC ASSOCIATE AND LITERARY MANAGER

The Shakespearean size and scope of Robert Schenkkan’s All the Way is equal to the men and women involved in the events surrounding the Civil Rights Act and the Presidential election of 1964. With the tragic events of November 22, 1963, Lyndon Baines Johnson was catapulted into the presidency and accomplished some of the 20th century’s greatest legislation, beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Shortly before rehearsals began, I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Robert Schenkkan to discuss the inspiration and process of All the Way. Below is an excerpt of our conversation.

What attracted you to Lyndon Baines Johnson and how did the All the Way The Great Society idea for and originate and develop? I grew up in Austin, Texas, the Hill Country, only 40 or 60 miles from LBJ’s birthplace, and what would become his ranch, the western White House. There are family stories of a visit to the ranch. There’s one story where our station wagon got bogged down in the mud and Senator Johnson came out in his own truck and helped put his shoulder to the fender. I don’t remember any of this, but it’s a great story. The ’64 election, the Johnson/ Goldwater election, which is covered in the play, is the first election I participated in. I was 11 years old and I wore my button and my stickers on my school books, and my mother and I went down to the headquarters on Congress Avenue and stuffed envelopes, and I got to stay up late and watch the returns. I have a very vivid memory of that, of the success. He’s always been in my head. There’s always been this idea that I would write about him at some point. When Oregon Shakespeare Festival commissioned me for their American Revolutions project, I quickly settled on “the accidental President,” his first term. It lays out so beautifully; the coming in at this moment of crisis and tragedy after being in the wilderness politically.

Was there a moment in time when you realized that something unique was happening? When we opened in Ashland and heard the response of the audience, we thought, “Well this works, this is very good.” Jack Willis originated the part of LBJ. D.C. audiences are extremely fortunate to be able to see his performance. He’s fantastic. It was a very, very powerful experience.

I do think – because of the debacle of Iraq, which made people think a lot about Vietnam, and the election of Barack Obama, the first African- American President — the play highlights the Join us for a post-show conversation with question of how much progress have we really playwright Robert Schenkkan following the made, in this country, especially in terms of 7:30 p.m. performance on May 3. race relations. It became a real attractor for politicians from both sides of the aisle. I think Join us for a post-show conversation with artists immediately following people felt like this is an accurate depiction these performances: of the challenges of trying to pass legislation. It’s tough, messy work, what Bismarck called April 13 at 12:00 p.m. “the sausage making of politics.” It’s not pretty April 14 at 8:00 p.m. but it’s too important to leave to other people.
