2017/18 SEASON 5 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

John’s play has everything — the red meat of politics; power and how one deals with it; an intimate look into the workings of the Supreme Court through the mind of one Justice; a fiery battle for the soul and the heart of ‘the other’; one’s legacy and what it means; and whether the possibility of a middle in today’s political landscape is possible.

Wow, we’ve come a long way politically since we premiered The Originalist in March 2015. Justice Scalia passed away in February 2016. We have a new President and administration, and nationally the political atmosphere is on fire. We are more polarized now than we were two years ago. Is the dream of finding a middle ground simply naïve?

I don’t think so, and I believe John Strand agrees with me. At moments like this, this story is even more important to experience. To listen, to take time to understand an opposing view, to get to the heart of complex matters and find a way to work together are components of practicing free speech.

Arena Stage has launched Power Plays, an ambitious initiative to commission 25 new plays or musicals spanning the history of our nation from 1776 to the present decade. We will experience stories of presidents, broken treaties, government secrets, lost parts of American history and more. Learning and understanding American stories of politics and power makes us more informed as a democracy, and can shed light on how we can face personal and political adversaries. Sometimes the way we understand our lives is through stories about this moment in time and sometimes through plays from an earlier era that underscore where we are in history. These plays will not fall along party lines — they will challenge all of us and I am eager to open these dialogues.

The Originalist is part of the beginning of Power Plays, and it’s a pleasure to produce it again this summer. Since we premiered it, The Originalist has travelled to Asolo Repertory in Florida, Pasadena Playhouse in and will be produced in at Court Theatre. Audiences have been energized and fascinated by John’s story. With what has passed — and is happening at this very moment — the story is richer and deeper than before. Edward Gero’s performance as Justice Scalia is masterful and since Scalia’s passing — he is the living embodiment of the Justice.

This is a powerful time in America — and we each need to speak out loudly about what’s important to us. Our lives — and our country — depend on it.

All Best,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

6 2017/18 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

As many of you know, Arena premiered The Originalist in Spring 2015. Playwright John Strand was in residence with us, and he and Molly were bold in creating this meaty play about Justice Scalia and finding a way through political dialogue to a middle ground to address the polarization of our political parties. It was a new play with a current topic and, I have to admit, we were all nervous. Not because the play wasn’t strong — one just never knows how audiences will respond when it’s all new. It turned out that Washington, D.C. audiences loved the play, loved Ed Gero as Scalia and the run of the show was extended due to high demand.

Since then, The Originalist has been produced at Asolo Repertory in Sarasota, FL, and Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, CA. Back to Arena for a limited run this summer, it will next travel to Chicago’s Court Theater, home of Scalia’s alma matter, in Spring 2018. Audience reaction has been similar in these diverse places. There are many discussions about future productions as well — and who knows, you may even see it take the same route as Next to Normal, The Velocity of Autumn, Sweat and Dear Evan Hansen.

However, The Originalist has not only been successful in going to other cities, its premiere played a prominent role in inspiring Molly’s ambitious Power Plays initiative, to commission 25 new plays or musicals spanning American history through a political lens. Arena’s commitment to new work is generously supported by many of you, and we welcome new interest as well. Power Plays will tackle five broad voices: Presidential Voices, Women’s Voices, African- American Voices, Musical Theater Voices and Insider Voices. This season will see the premiere of Mary Kathryn Nagle’s Sovereignty, which connects the history of the U.S. government’s attempts to erase the inherent sovereignty of Native American Tribal Nations — such as Cherokee Nation — through intersections of political and personal truths. Please continue to join us as we build the framework for the future of American theater.

While awards are not the goal of a not-for-profit arts organization, it was encouraging for Arena Stage, and our local peers at Ford’s Theatre, to be present at the this past June celebrating the success of several productions which had their premieres in Washington, D.C. You are in the right place to be at the forefront of new theater. The support of our audiences is essential — you play a big role making it all possible.

Warmly,

Edgar Dobie, Executive Director

It has since been performed at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Florida, the Pasadena Playhouse in California and next spring will head to Court Theatre in Chicago. How has this play grown in its travels? A MODERN AMERICAN CUISINE RESTAURANT SERVING SW DC JOHN STRAND: It’s gotten tighter and sharper — the normal process of listening to audiences and tossing out whatever is not essential to the story.

Justice Antonin the show, then come back to enjoy dessert. Scalia passed away and we have Trump in the White House. What does it mean to bring this play back to D.C. in 2017?

JS: First of all, it means returning to the most politically sophisticated audience in the U.S. at the top regional theater in the country, so that’s a pleasure. It means discovering that Antonin Scalia is no longer “the most polarizing figure in American civic life,” as Cat declares. The current president stole the crown. The play is still about the hope of compromise and what it takes to stop seeing our political adversaries as monsters. It’s an ideal that seems farther away than ever now.

THANK YOU FOR LEAVING YOUR LEGACY AT ARENA STAGE ARENA STAGE REMEMBERS LYNWOOD ‘LYN’ SINNAMON (1935 - 2017)

Lyn and his wife, Thalia, have been ushers, supporters and stalwarts of the Arena Stage community for over 20 years. As volunteers at each opening night performance, the couple would discuss the works seen on stage with audience members, often sharing in-depth knowledge about the theater, artists and directors. Over the years, they have been overly kind and generous and have become an integral part of the Arena family.

Lyn has left a lasting legacy not only for Arena Stage and its staff, but for all the ushers, audience and community members he has encountered. We will be forever grateful to Lyn for his kindness and dedication to Arena Stage and its mission.
