DEAR FRIENDS

It is truly thrilling to open our 2012/13 Season with Sunday in the Park with George, a musical that illustrates the emotional complexity and personal sacrifice of a working artist. We are blessed at Chicago Shakespeare Theater to work with the leading artists of our time, and with your help, provide them with the resource needed to create extraordinary productions reflective of Shakespeare’s genius.

Associate Artistic Director Gary Griffin’s staging of this production beautifully connects audiences with the journey of an artist, amplified by the epic intimacy of our Courtyard Theater. In subtle ways, the play is also informed by the civic connection Chicagoans have to the inspiration for the piece. Seurat’s painting, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884, is part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago—mere blocks away from the Theater. Only in Chicago could you have these two masterpieces in conversation with each other—a testament to our city’s commitment to cultural excellence.

Over the coming season, Chicago Shakespeare Theater will produce work that is vibrant, surprising, accessible and bold—at our home on Navy Pier, in the schools and neighborhoods of Chicago, and at festivals across the world. We hope to welcome you back soon to our global theater, reflective of the world-class city that we call home. American Airlines is proud to partner with Chicago Shakespeare Theater for 20 years of bringing extraordinary productions to Chicago and the world.

Visit chicagoshakes.com to explore more ideas hirty years or so ago, Stephen and stories behind the art on CST’s stages. TSondheim and librettist/ director James Lapine spent days at sunday in the park with george the Art Institute of Chicago, gazing music and lyrics by stephen sondheim at Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on book by james lapine n di rected by La Grande Jatte—1884. gary griffin n courtyard theater What’s most famous about the painting (as Chicagoans know n septembe r 26– well) is the innovative relation of parts to whole: all those november 4, 2012 hundreds of thousands of dots, insistently separate when seen n 312.595.5600 close up, coalesce into passages of shimmering color when n www.chicagoshakes.com viewed from the right remove. At a moment catalytic for the show’s conception, Lapine saw that the same principle, operating virtually in reverse, governs the gazes of the figures in the picture. He was struck by “the curious fact,” as Sondheim later put it, “that of all the fifty-odd people” in this large luminous image of a community at play, “not one … is looking at another.” Everyone’s assembled; no one quite connects.

There’s the tension that shapes the show: between the

Stuart Sherman, Associate impassioned pursuit of harmony (a key word in the script from Professor of English at Fordham start to finish) and the welter of missed connections that make University, is a specialist in eighteenth-century literature and deep harmony barely attainable in art, nearly impossible in life. the author of Telling Time: Clocks, Diaries and English Diurnal Form, Sunday in the Park with George incarnates these tensions in its 1660–1785. characters’ intrinsic isolation, and in their baffled, variable desire for convergence. As opening gambit in that splendid game, Sondheim and Lapine name their fictive female protagonist Dot. She is Seurat’s exuberant, exasperated mistress, muse, and model. In the show’s first song, we see her locked into the pose George has assigned her, while going volubly, silently, and hilariously crazy at the disparity between her atomization as an aggregate of dots obsessively stippled onto canvas, and her

10 Fall 2012 | Sunday in the Park with George actuality as the complex flesh-and-blood woman she’s longing for her lover to see. In later songs we learn that George, while not oblivious to her wish that he look past painting into passion, knows nothing of how to fulfill it, or even how to want to: his painting is his passion; distraction might do it damage.

Out of such crossed purposes gorgeously vocalized, Sondheim had shaped wonderful thwarted-love stories before (think of Mrs. Lovett crooning her ardor to Sweeney Todd as he, simultaneously, sings a love song to his razor). In Sunday, though, the lovers’ subtler sunderings become the template for all the tensions and contentions among the lesser characters: the fights and slights out of which Sondheim and Lapine shape a bright kaleidoscope of songs. Sondheim has written about his newfound pleasure in “allowing songs to become fragmentary, like musicalized snatches of dialogue,” without the “static verbosity of recitative.” Sondheim’s fragments work like Seurat’s dots; they index both the energies of isolation and the elusive possibilities of harmony, of coalescence.

Sondheim and Lapine give us two Georges: in the first act the late-nineteenth-century Parisian painter, struggling with his method, his models, his materials; in the second his troubled (and fictional) namesake and great-grandson, a late-twentieth-century American Sondheim’s fragments work like Seurat’s dots; they index both the energies of isolation and the elusive possibilities of harmony artist adrift after initial success in a world of fickle benefactors, daunting new technologies, endless iterations and tyrannic fads. Here, as the young George fretfully sings, art isn’t easy; “putting it together” has become for him more chore than challenge. The second act pervasively, often parodically, echoes the first, as Sondheim pointedly reapplies melodies now familiar to topics and lyrics strikingly new.

Out of his two Georges, Sondheim crafts for himself something like what Shakespeare may have attained in Hamlet: a probable (or at least plausible) self-portrait, as close a map as the oeuvre offers to the workings of its maker’s mind, to the shaping vectors of his art.

“See George attempting to see a connection,” the young protagonist sings wearily of himself near the very end. Sunday’s power consists in the assiduousness with which it tracks the pleasures, costs, and strain of those attempts for everyone involved in the art of making art. “We do not belong together,” Dot sings to George near the end of the first act. “We have always belonged together,” she sings, to the same melody, at the end of the second, in a song whose title and refrain (“Move On”) argues for the flow, in art and in life, toward which Dot, like all those dots on Seurat’s canvas, has striven from the start. But even now there are dividing lines: the song is a duet between the living, younger George of Act 2 and a Dot, his grandmother, long dead; within moments, she’ll disappear from the stage as well. Even at the show’s high points of exquisite harmony, its makers hint gently but insistently at inevitable sunderings. …the perfection’s not in the park but in the picture. Outside its frame there can be no perfection

By the time the figures in the painting sing hypnotically of “our perfect park,” we know well that the perfection’s not in the park but in the picture. Outside its frame there can be no perfection—only faulty mortals, missing connections while dreaming toward connection. La Grande Jatte is, as the painting’s title points out, an island after all; and so in a sense, as Seurat and Sondheim suggest (contra John Donne), are all the people on it. But out of imperfection and missed connection come longing, hope, and the aching beauty of this painting and this play. n entertain with style

22 Fall 2012 | Sunday in the Park with George sunday in the park with george Playgoer’s Guide

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884

Art Institute of Chicago Trustee Frederic Clay Bartlett returned home from his 1924 collecting trip, where he purchased, among other works of art, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884. After his wife’s death the following year, Bartlett gifted the Art Institute with the Helen Birch Bartlett Memorial Collection, and Georges Seurat’s masterpiece, measuring approximately seven feet high and ten feet across, was among the first to represent the artist’s work in America.

Seurat devoted two years, from 1884 to 1886, to the painting. He began with detailed studies of the site, recording the location of each tree and natural feature, and creating a pictorial landscape—a “set design” that he would complete with his human subjects. In the park the artist sketched small studies, then returned to his studio to create his large canvas. When Seurat entered his new work into The Eighth Exhibition of Painting, Monet and Renoir (among others who were dubbed the “Romantic Impressionists” to distinguish them from the “Scientific Impressionists”) withdrew their submissions.

Seurat painted his only true portrait, Young Woman Powdering Herself, in 1890—the painting that Dot requests from George in Sunday in the Park with George. Seurat’s model was Madeline Knobloch, his lover and the mother of his child, who was born in 1890 and named Pierre Georges (his father’s names reversed). The next year, at the age of thirty-one, Seurat died suddenly from a contagious, but undiagnosed, disease— which his infant son, too, fatally contracted.

He put hundreds of thousands of dots on that canvas. And every one was a separate decision. Some people say there were five million individual decisions. And that is what art is. ­—Michael Kantor and Laurence Maslon, Broadway: The American Musical (2004) sunday in the park with george In Performance

With Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters in the lead roles, Sondheim and Lapine workshopped Sunday in the Park with George in 1983 at Playwrights Horizons, an off Broadway, nonprofit theater devoted to the development of new and innovative work. The play opened on Broadway on May 2, 1984—one hundred years after Seurat began his work on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Despite receiving ten Tony nominations, the play garnered just two awards for design. New York Times Theater critic Frank Rich was one of the few to champion the work as a masterpiece, and it was perhaps Rich’s recurrent musings that kept the theater sold out through the show’s 604-performance run. In 1985 the play was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Sunday in the Park with George was first staged at CST in 2002, directed by Gary Griffin in the theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare. n

www.chicagoshakes.com 33 director Q & A The Ecology of Art

Visit chicagoshakes.com to explore more ideas irector Gary Griffin and stories behind the art on CST’s stages. Ddiscusses his production of Sunday in the Park with George. sunday in the park with george Returning to Sunday in the Park ten years after music and lyrics by first directing it in the theater Upstairs at Chicago stephen sondheim book by james lapine Shakespeare, how are you looking at the play n di rected by differently? gary griffin n courtyard theater GG: This play is twenty-eight years old and, as with all n septembe r 26– of Sondheim, time has been very kind to it. As a piece of november 4, 2012 great art, it has become a part of us, and so now we’re able n 312.595.5600 perhaps to look at it from another direction. This time for n www.chicagoshakes.com me the show has so much to do with how we pass through life and how artists capture us. There’s that moment in Our Town when the Stage Manager responding to Emily’s question—“Does anyone ever realize life when they’re living it?”—answers simply, “Saints and poets.” Life is a passage. The artist knows that and captures it. The people who once walked along the Seine are still alive in Seurat’s painting, and in this play. I want us to feel that extraordinary charge as the artist captures us—and the requisite challenge of moving on.

How will staging this production in the Courtyard Gary Griffin, CST Associate Theater affect your approach to the play? Artistic Director and director of Sunday in the Park with George GG: Our Courtyard is a thrust space. I love to challenge the notion of how this show “should” be staged. What I love most about our space here at CST is that it forces a deeper level of commitment and truth to what these relationships are. I hope that we will create a George that is inhabited, that we feel ourselves inside the universe of these characters.

Can you talk about how you understand the relationship between the two acts of this play?

34 Fall 2012 | Sunday in the Park with George GG: The second act of this show is hugely debated and is certainly the most controversial. It’s my favorite, however. The second act asks profound questions– questions that are left open for the audience to respond to individually. I want to look at the love story of Act 1 less as a romance than as an obstacle—an obstacle in the face of an inevitability that the artist will finish the hat. I want to find the parallels between the George of Act 1 and the George of Act 2, and make that evening feel like one journey. Life is a passage. The artist knows that and captures it.

Perhaps it’s all of us in the audience who don’t want Act 1 to have to end…

GG: Because you like her. And you like him. I think it’s hard to accept that that choice exists. I’ve been thinking a lot about what Dot comes back to say to George in the second act. It’s the things we don’t get that send us on the journey we didn’t anticipate. Dot comes to thank him for giving her the life she has had. Spiritually, she comes to say thank you through the book she once captured George’s own words in.

If we intrinsically “like” the George and Dot of Act 1, help us understand the second George we meet— his great grandson in Act 2.

GG: In the way that Hamlet needs to try to make sense of what’s happening, that’s what I think this George does as he searches for the inspiration that will again motivate his art. I think he is afraid of Dot’s book, handed down to him by his grandmother Marie. Still, he takes it with him to Paris and starts to read it, almost begrudging its existence. And it’s in Dot’s notes that she once jotted down in the book’s margins, “Charles has a book…” that George experiences something like a rebirth. “George sees a park...” It’s very simple, childlike language, but you feel him reaching the point where he can once more imagine. Dot’s book takes him into his soul.

You’ve urged the cast to spend time with Seurat’s painting at the Art Institute.

GG: Perhaps it’s just civic pride, but the painting lives here; its home is in our city. Sondheim and Lapine’s American couple, Mr. and Mrs., travel abroad to acquire paintings and return with them to the States. How did all these masterpieces get here? Seurat’s is just across the park, and you can walk over and visit it.

Since working on Sunday in the Park in 2002, you’ve directed several other Sondheims. How do you now understand this play in the context of Sondheim’s career?

GG: Sunday in the Park was the first he wrote with James Lapine. Sondheim feels this show transporting his work into new territory. When you realize that what he’s doing is rediscovering his art in the act of creating this piece, you understand the kind of profound endeavor that’s happening. I think that Follies is Sondheim at the height of his power. “I can write anything—and did!” Whereas I think in this one, Sondheim’s heart as an artist is more present than in any other show. Perhaps it’s just civic pride, but the painting lives here; its home is in our city. At the first day of rehearsal with the cast, design team, staff and some of our board of directors present, you talked about how Sondheim acknowledges all the people required in art-making.

GG: One of the extraordinary things about this piece is how it investigates the entire ecology of making art. All those people are there with the same dream, hoping it will succeed and hoping that they will see something that’s formative and new and original. I don’t know another show, of any kind, that celebrates as this one does all of the roles involved in making art. n THE 2012/13 SEASON

In Memoriam Corinne E. Johnson, a longtime friend of Chicago Shakespeare Theater, passed away last fall. A teacher at York High School in Elmhurst for 32 years, Corrine was a CST subscriber for over two decades and active participant in the Theater’s nationally renowned education programs.

Per her wishes, her legacy gift now directly supports our education programs, helping to bring Shakespeare to life for over 40,000 students and teachers each season.

By including Chicago Shakespeare Theater in your will or estate plans, you too can help safeguard the future of Chicago’s Home for Shakespeare. Contact the Advancement office today for information on the First Folio Society.
