ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

Laughter triggers endorphins, boosts immunity, increases resilience, relieves pain and is contagious. Right now, we are a city that needs to laugh. At its heart, Dave is a love story to an America where an Everyman becomes President. On the surface you may think you’ve heard this story before, but I assure you this is a tale with fresh twists, wonderful characters and fabulous music. One of the unusual aspects of our city is that we live in the city of presidents. We breathe in their personalities and ideas whether it’s through the monuments, or in the streets or at the White House. Eight years ago we took a gamble on remounting a popular production of Oklahoma! in the summer. Historically and traditionally, Washingtonians went other places in the summer and theaters took a break because they believed audiences weren’t here. We had just opened the Mead Center and were basking in that success. It was a gamble that worked. The “reboot” as we called it was so successful that we decided to take that risk again, and then again and again. Pretty soon our peers caught on and now Washington has a bustling summer theater and arts scene. Arena’s most well-known summer premiere is Dear Evan Hansen, and assembled today with Dave is a high caliber team of artists preparing an equally ambitious project. Director Tina Landau and I have wanted to work together for years. To say she’s a talented director does not do her justice: hot on the heels of a successful premiere of a wonderfully zany musical — SpongeBob SquarePants — Tina brings a career full of experimentation and risk-taking. She’s an inventor to her core. I am equally delighted to welcome back Tom Kitt, who is the composer of Next to Normal. I first got to know Tom when he came to Arena withNext to Normal for it’s magic second production before the musical moved to New York to win the Tony and the Pulitzer. The stellar creative team for Dave, including Nell Benjamin, Sam Pinkleton, Rob Berman, Dane Laffrey, Toni-Leslie James, Japhy Weideman, Walter Trarbach and Peter Nigrini, leads a fantastic cast and company. We long for a presidency that brings people together, because when we unite as a diverse country, we are always stronger. May this production of Dave remind us of our better angels and the simple act of patriotism through serving our country. See you at the theater,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

On our first day of rehearsal forDave , Tom Kitt our composer shared that we were missing Thomas Meehan in the room. Thomas had passed away leaving his collaborators to finish the work. The show must go on. I had the great pleasure of working with Thomas as a writer when I was managing producer for the Tony Award broadcasts. Later while at Trinity Rep in Providence, RI, Thomas and his co-authors rode into town to sort out a controversial production we had produced of their legendary musical Annie. In every circumstance, he revealed a kindness of spirit, a joyful outlook on life and a killer instinct for what you can get away with on the stage. It comes as no surprise to me that when Thomas was sought out for this musical by his equally gifted collaborators Nell Benjamin and Tom Kitt and the savvy producers Mark Kaufman at Warner Bros Theatricals, Allison Thomas and Lauren Shuler Donner, Thomas saw the potential right away. The story of Dave is the stuff of musical theater perfection. Like a wonderful fairy tale, it helps to explain the world we live in (in our case Washington politics) giving us escapist tools but also reminding us of our “better angels”. It is joyful, hopeful and reassuring all at the same time. If it is all in the timing — then we have timed it right! So what brought Dave to Arena’s shore? At the same first day of rehearsal Tina Landau explained that Arena Stage was always their first choice to try out this new musical. Given the stakes involved and the resources required to mount a new musical, it is the wise producers who elect to go out of town when there are Broadway aspirations involved. And for this show with its brilliant creative team, authors and cast, why wouldn’t they have their sights set high? Thank the theater gods for Mark Shacket at Foresight Theatricals for being strategically involved and counselling patience as we waited over two seasons to put all the pieces in place. Tina and her team and the producers saw that Arena has a lot to offer including a discerning audience that enjoys the risks and rewards associated with supporting new ventures. Of equal importance is our talented and dedicated artistic, production, communications and administrative staff, paired as we are with our state-of-the-art facilities. So as is always the case with any theatrical adventure we have aimed for perfection. Many reasons motivate us. Making Thomas Meehan proud is certainly one of the reasons that motivated me. Pushing all my Canadian humility aside — I say bull’s eye! Cheers,

Edgar Dobie, Executive Producer [email protected]

DIRECTOR'S NOTE A BRIEF Q & A WITH DAVE DIRECTOR TINA LANDAU still possible. Dave allows us, has allowed me, to feel the stirrings of an idealism, a patriotism really, that we carry within us but which so often remains hidden or deadened, maligned, or even shamed into silence. Yes, the character of Dave can be described as naïve or idealistic (depending on how cynical one is feeling), but I can’t help but want to share in that idealism. How does the show interact with the specifics of our current political moment for you? TL: Ìt’s not bogged down by topicality, which makes a show only work this week or next Executive Producer Edgar Dobie and week. It’s not about what’s going on on CNN Director Tina Landau at the first rehearsal ofDave . tonight, but it’s amazing how relevant it is, despite that. We don’t chase current events, Welcome to Arena Stage, and to D.C.! This is your but every day as the world changes around us, first time directing here, correct? the show still reflects back what’s going on. When I started working on the piece, it was so TINA LANDAU: Yes! I’ve known Molly since her beautiful because it seemed to me a wish, a Perseverance days, and I’ve always admired kind of prayer, certainly an invitation to action. her, and I’ve always assumed that a theater It was a reminder of certain values — especially that she’s captaining would be a wonderful honesty and engagement, in our political home and my experience on Dave has proved actions and in our personal relationships. But that to be entirely true. And for this show, since the 2016 election, it’s become less an there was never any question that Arena was invitation than a call. The show is about how the top choice for where to develop it. We’ve extraordinary values exist in ordinary people. hoped to be inspired by the environment How Dave, the little man, the ordinary citizen, while we’re making it, and we look forward to discovers his own efficacy. But it’s turned audiences that will have a certain knowledge of for me from “this can happen” to “this must and investment in the story that’s happening, happen.” We’re not saying to the audience “Oh because it’s happening in their hometown. We look, you too are Dave, you can do this, it’s want to give this story to this audience, and we easy to participate!” Instead, it’s “You have to want to hear back from and learn from them. find the Dave in you — your belief in your own self, and in the Presidency and its potential to On the first day of rehearsal, your excitement and operate with integrity and do good — and you passion for this show was infectious and inspiring. have to take responsibility in your own way and What do you find so exciting about the piece? go out there and play your part.” TL: Its idealism, its heart, its hope.
