Waterfall Program FINAL 5-15-15

Dear Friends, As I write this, I am amazed to realize that we have come to the end of our 2014-15 season� We have had a truly wonderful Sheldon Epps year here at The Playhouse, and I am proud Artistic Director to say that we have touched so many theatrical bases with great skill, experti se, and arti stry� The quality of the work on our stage has been justly celebrated and rewarded recently in so many ways� I am grati fi ed that many of you have been with us on these journeys throughout the season, experiencing a variety of delights— from Shaw to Cole Porter, from new plays to revivals, and from searing drama to musical frivolity� I am very proud to have had yet another rewarding season� I am even more proud that we are closing out the year with the premiere producti on of Waterfall, a new American musical�

One of the more fortunate parts of my job is being introduced to potenti al new projects for our stage on nearly a daily basis� It is exciti ng for this theatre to be desired as a home for the “care and feeding” of new plays and musicals� That is especially the case when the project itself and the creati ve team involved are also highly desirable, and would be most welcome at any major theatre� I am therefore tremendously honored that those involved sought out The Playhouse (along with the highly esteemed 5th Avenue Theatre in Seatt le) to give birth to this project� I am a longti me fan of the writi ng team of Richard Maltby, Jr� and David Shire� They have created some of the most admired works in the American musical theatre canon� And I have come to greatly admire our director, Tak Viravan, who brings to this producti on a combinati on of authenti city and theatrical verve, which is exactly what is needed� My thanks to the enti re creati ve team and to our enti re cast who have the requisite spirit of adventure that is so needed to bring a new musical to life� My special thanks to our producing partner, Jack Dalgleish, whose passion for this project was so evident from the moment we fi rst discussed the show� That passion for this musical has conti nued to burn strongly throughout the enti re process�

Even as we fi nish the year with the thrill of this exciti ng new musical on our stage, we are already deeply involved in bringing together our next thrilling season� On another page of this program you can read about what is in store� Once again, we have put together a season that is dynamically eclecti c and as potenti ally exciti ng as the recent “traffi c on our stage�” We will make every eff ort, with the full support of the many arti sts involved, to deliver another season that will make all of us arti sti cally vibrant, nurtured, nourished, and theatrically fulfi lled� I invite you to subscribe to the 2015-16 season and to be with us for each of our next journeys, as well� Believe me, your being “on the ride” with us is what makes each performance unique, special, and disti nct�

For now, let yourselves be carried away by the rich and romanti c journey of Waterfall, which is full of delights for the eyes and ears�� and hopefully for the soul, as well�

Sincerely,

sheldon Epps Arti sti c Director of The Pasadena Playhouse
