POINT OF VIEW The 1978/79 season at Actors Theatre of Louisville was a landmark. In January it premiered a Join us for the final first play by 27 year-old Beth Henley, one that would eventually win the Pulitzer Prize. Crimes of the Heart came at the end of a tumultuous decade that saw the founding of the National Women’s Political Caucus in 1971 and the ratification failure of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1979. When three shows of our we selected this American classic for revival this year, it was with the prospect that the ultimate glass ceiling for women might be broken, offering a view of how far women had come in the intervening 36 years. Instead, Henley’s vision of Southern sisterhood in a world resistant to change is all the exciting 2016/17 Season! more pertinent today. If progress in the last decade has been substantial, the American theatre has been slow to embrace the work of women artists. In the 1978/79 season of Beth Henley’s debut, TheatreWorks was an exception, producing three plays with all female casts: Uncommon Women and Others by Wendy Wasserstein (who would become our most produced contemporary playwright); Voices, A Play for Women by Susan Griffin; and Jack Heifner’s Vanities (which became a A SAVINGS OF OVER 50%! world premiere musical here in 2006). This season, Crimes of the Heart is the second of four plays centered on women. It follows Daddy Long Legs, based on Jean Webster’s proto-feminist novel, with the regional premiere of Velina Hasu Houston’s Calligraphy up next and a revival of the musical Rags in April, centered on the life of Jewish Coming in March, we present , a regional immigrant Rebecca Hershkowitz in 1910 New York. And if most of our plays in the 70s were directed by men CALLIGRAPHY (especially me), we now have brilliantly creative staff directors Giovanna Sardelli and Leslie Martinson at the helm of premiere about two cousins determined to bridge the Crimes and Calligraphy, and last summer we delighted in Lisa Rothe’s direction of Confederates. Perhaps Crimes of the Heart was a turning point for women in the American Theatre. It demonstrated the cultural gaps between East and West, and find the laughter passion, insight, frustration, and underlying sisterhood that were emerging from the Women’s Rights movement. in life’s toughest questions. In April, you’ll rise cheering Told boldly and honestly from a female perspective, it attracted large audiences eager to see a woman’s point of view on stage, impressing producers nationwide. I had the pleasure of meeting playwright Henley as she worked on for RAGS, an exhilarating musical about the New York her latest play at our New Works Festival in 2013. Her humor, perception, and good will were intact and infectious, and led me to reconsider the unforgettable comedy that had launched her career. We are proud to make it part of immigrant experience from the creators of Wicked and TheatreWorks’ season in a year that has already focused on America’s women in so many unexpected ways.

In Crimes of the Heart, Henley is exploring how family and society define and confine female characters. She is challenging our assumptions and our easy definitions of good and bad. She is asking us to see that the road to understanding and forgiveness cannot be simple. She’s exploring the absurd experience that is living and, lucky for us, she has a dark but engaging sense of humor; she wants us to laugh and recognize that no one’s pain is the most precious thing about them. One of my favorite quotes from Henley is, “I’m constantly in awe that we still seek JAN 13–15 FEB 16–18 love and kindness even though we are filled with dark, bloody, primitive urges and MTT Conducts Mahler’s John Adams’ The Gospel desires.” She says she likes to write characters who do horrible things but whom Das klagende Lied According to the Other Mary you can still like.

My name might fool you, but on my mother’s side of the family, I have relatives named Birdie, Bones, M’Lynn, and Squinch. While Oklahoma might not be considered the South, you sure could have fooled me with that technicality. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Southern Gothic and the Southern sensibility and a deep love and admiration for Beth Henley, who changed the course of my life when I encountered her work in college. Beth Henley was the first woman in 23 years to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama when she won in 1981 for Crimes of the Heart. It was her first professionally produced play and it was revelatory in its style and in its focus on deeply flawed, eccentric female characters. When I was assigned Crimes of the Heart in college, it was one of the first plays I read that spoke to me in a deeply personal way. I had never before experienced a play about three sisters (Chekhov was to be read the following year) and, as I was the middle sister of three, I found something extraordinary in the way the play captured the special dynamic that comes from that particular trio. But it was more than that. It was experiencing a play written by a woman and centered on the lives and stories of women—women who were allowed to be angry, ugly, vengeful, and deeply funny without any obligation to be nice or beautiful. That was a revelation for me to behold as a young college woman toying with independence and feminism. This play, more than any other I experienced in college, led me to pursue a career in theatre.

Beth Henley was born May 8, 1952 in Jackson, Mississippi. The daughter of an actress, Henley spent much of her childhood attending plays, reading scripts, and helping her mother memorize lines. Through these experiences she developed a keen ear for dialogue, though she recalls not feeling “smart enough” to be a writer, and instead stuck to performing.

Henley enrolled in the acting program at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. While there, she took one playwriting course, and had her first one-act play produced by the University’s Margo Jones Theatre while she was still an undergrad. She completed her BFA in 1974, and in 1976 headed for Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
