IN MEMORIAM Zoe Caldwell • dawn e. crysler • Richard Farrell • Ann Ferencz • Mary Haney • Martha Mann • Jennifer Phipps • David Schurmann • Bob Vernon • Colin D. Watson welcome to a season unlike any yet seen at The Shaw. That’s not surprising, is it? This year and a bit has been unlike anything any of us have lived through before. The frustration, for anyone who works in the field of live performance, has at times been overwhelming. But if one looks for a silver lining, it isn’t hard to find: I think I will never again hear anyone say that live theatre is dying, or an unnecessary luxury. The sparkling eyes of the audiences who came to our concert series last fall tell a different story. Even with masks on, there could be no mistaking the smiles on their faces. Human connection will never be a luxury. However we gather this year (and of course our priority will be keeping everyone safe), let’s take a moment to look at each other, to smile with our eyes, and to feel grateful for the chance to experience something together. We can’t make it on our own. tim carroll, artistic director

Bernard Shaw Director’s Note by Philip Akin

What is an “even life”? What would that look like and how would it manifest to others? An “even life” to me is such a personal, idiosyncratic understand- ing that, when it intersects with others, we open the door to T.S. Eliot’s phrase “falls the shadow”. Trouble in Mind delves into that shadow and, through honest humour and courage, examines that collision of lives. And perhaps bring us all a greater insight into “even”.

TOP: RUTH ALLERHAND DIRECTING A CHOREO- AMERICAN NEGRO THEATER OPPOSITE: PORTRAIT GRAPHY CLASS WITH THE AMERICAN NEGRO GROUP PORTRAIT INCLUDING OF ALICE CHILDRESS, THEATER COMPANY, C.1950 (NEW YORK PUBLIC SIDNEY POITIER, ROBERT EARL C.1950, BY ALICE NEEL. LIBRARY FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS). JONES AND HILDA HAYNES (NYPL). The Troubles in Her Mind by Kimberley Rampersad

Like Bernard Shaw, playwright Alice Childress experienced her parents’ separation when she was young; like Shaw, she was a voracious and avid reader; like Shaw, she did not com- plete her grade-school education; and, like Shaw, she found her people early in life, she with the American Negro Theater, where she developed into a polymath – actor, playwright and director – he with the Fabian Society, where he developed into a social and political activist that indelibly shaped his future career as a playwright. Childress is at the beginning of a long line of modern black female playwrights in America whose work responds to the late W.E.B. DuBois’s call for work “about us, by us, for us, near us.” For Trouble in Mind, she won an Obie Award – the first African-American woman to achieve this distinction. With its wicked social commentary born of the most truthful moments, and infused with laughter, Trouble in Mind is bril- liant both in indicting audience members who proudly consider themselves woke, and, at the same time, in amplifying the truth of the marginalized. A most Shavian sensibility. In interviews, Childress speaks to her great desire to write something for every- one as a part of her legacy. She writes as an actor, playing all of the parts, she says, as she puts pen to paper. Her approach allows for a plurality of opinions amongst polarized groups, a result, perhaps, of the way she walked through this world as a fair-skinned black woman. As an actor, she encountered obstacles as she was told she was too fair to play black roles and too richly hued to play white roles. Her appear- ance allowed her “to pass,” granting her access to conversations she would not otherwise have been privy to. The points of view amongst the black characters in Trouble in Mind – Wiletta, Millie, Sheldon and John – and the white characters – Manners, Judy, Eddie, Bill and Henry – are authentically varied. This cascades into an evenly-written play in which the audience gains insight into the psyche of each character. Similar to Lynn Nottage’s 2015 play, Sweat, the framework of Trouble in Mind is an integrated work space – a Broadway theatre in 1957. And similar to Jackie Sibblies Drury’s more recent (2018) play, Fairview, we feel the pressure of the oppressive gaze upon this world until it is called out by our protagonist, a black female. In Trouble it is Wiletta. As the white gaze descends upon the play, how is it that we find the characters of Wiletta (a female African-American actor) and Henry (an Irish-American male who was once a the- atre electrician and now a doorman), seemingly with a chasm between them, but actually joined by a bridge of an unflappable alliance? The bridge is their equal desire for self-determination. And though the journeys of Wiletta and Henry are distinct, their emancipation from the gaze, manifest in the character Manners in particular, is apparent and a part of the human condition. This concept is why Shaw’s work still resonates today in communities that have fallen to colonialism. Through Henry we hear echoes of O’Flaherty V.C. and a universal cry to break free. The power of Childress is in her ability to avoid comparing the pain of these characters. Pain is not the same. Who compares pain? And to what end? Wiletta and Henry are experts in their own pain, and are able to share it with one another. Their experiences are relatable, and a connection is formed because of it. In sharing their own experience and listening to another’s, they draw connections not only for themselves but to each other. Childress wrote two endings for Trouble CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: AN AMERICAN in Mind, the original, which is used in this NEGRO THEATER AUDIENCE, 1940S; CANADA LEE, HILDA SIMMS, ALICE Shaw Festival production, and a later one (for CHILDRESS AND ALVIN CHILDRESS a three-act version of the play) that producers IN THE BROADWAY PRODUCTION OF convinced her would be more palatable for ANNA LUCASTA, 1944 (BOTH NYPL); Broadway audiences. After seeing the original ROSA PARKS (1913-2005) BEING FINGERPRINTED IN 1956 FOLLOWING version, the irony of this endeavour will be 12 HER ARREST FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE apparent to you. Childress’s reluctance was IN THE WAKE OF THE YEAR-LONG well-rooted, for when The New York Times MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT (ALAMY). reviewed the new version (still off-Broadway), it praised the play – except for the re-worked, defanged ending. This fed her conviction that she understood the truth of her play better than her white producers. Trouble in Mind never made it to Broadway, and Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun then became (in 1959) the first Broadway play written by a female African-American. In Trouble in Mind, the black actors also challenge words – the language being used in the play-within-the-play, Chaos in Belleville. The power of words is undeniable. It is why the victors write the history books. But words are dynamic in that they are symbols to which we attach meaning. Thus, words can also hold multiple and contradictory meanings. What does it mean to Wiletta when Manners con- tinues to ask her “to relate,” “to justify,” “to be truthful”? Do these words mean the same thing to her as they do to him, or do they hold different meaning? The language of the body – movement – holds the same power. It is why 13 E.

OPPOSITE: NAFEESA MONROE AS WILETTA. Wiletta tries to stand John up while Manners insists he stay on his knees. A black man on his knee(s) is a powerful image. Trouble in Mind is an act of protest, reflecting the fight and spirit of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955. The play protests both the lack of agency over how African-Americans are depicted on stage and screen, and the dangerous stereotypes that run through both mediums. Both are so dangerous that Wiletta corrects the young African-American actor John when he speaks of being in the theatre: “JOHN: You’re in it, aren’t you proud to be a part of it all? / wiletta: Of what all? / JOHN: Theatre. / wiletta: Show business, it’s just a business. Colored folks ain’t in no theatre.” Trouble in Mind speaks to the hypocrisy “Some live by what they call of the privileged who espouse the virtues of great truths. Henry I’ve always diversity, inclusion and representation, and wanted to do somethin’ real who claim to use their power for the uplifting grand...in the theatre...to stand of all. The fact is, we can all have good inten- forth at my best...to stand up tions, but if we do not actually love (in its greatest here and do anything I want.” scope) someone who walks through this world wiletta, in trouble in mind differently from us; if we are not aware of their daily triumphs and obstacles; if we are not pay- ing attention to patterns revealing themselves within their day and acknowledge that we our- selves might be an obstacle; then we are prob- ably generating a false narrative regarding their truth and therefore a false help.

KIMBERLEY RAMPERSAD IS AN ACTOR, DIRECTOR, CHOREO- GRAPHER, AND CURRENT ASSOCIATE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR FOR THE SHAW FESTIVAL.

Production History Trouble in Mind premiered at New York’s Greenwich Mews Theatre on November 3, 1955, directed by Clarice Taylor and Alice Childress. It ran for 91 performances and won an Obie Award for best original off-Broadway play of the 1955-56 season. It was scheduled to move to Broadway in 1957, but, unwilling to accept script changes proposed by the director, Childress withdrew it. The play was shown on British television in 1965. The British stage premiere was at London’s Tricycle Theatre on October 12, 1992, directed by Nicolas Kent. A 2007 production directed by Irene Lewis at Baltimore Center Stage, starring E. Faye Butler, was remounted at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, and Arena Stage in Washington, DC. The Roundabout Theatre Company is planning to open a Broadway production in late October, 2021. This Shaw Festival production is likely the Canadian premiere. Trouble in Mind, 2021

The Author

ALICE CHILDRESS (1916-1994) was celebrated in an obituary in Britain’s Guardian news- paper as someone who was regarded as “a champion of impoverished black people, who used her writing to chronicle the exploitation of African-Americans.” Born in Charleston, South Carolina, she was raised in Harlem by her grandmother (the daughter of a slave). Childress dropped out of high school following the death of her grandmother and took a series of low-paying jobs in New York. In 1934 she married an actor named Alvin Childress, with whom she had a daughter. She later joined a New York amateur theatre group, American Negro Theater, where she gained experience in a wide variety of theatrical activ- ity, including acting and playwriting. Her Broadway acting debut came in 1944 in Philip Yordan’s play Anna Lucasta, which, with an all-black cast, including her husband, ran for over two years at the Mansfield Theatre. Childress’s early plays, such as Florence (1949), Just a Little Simple (1950) and Gold Through the Trees (1952), were all produced in Harlem under the auspices of the Committee for the Negro in the Arts. Her next play, however, Trouble in Mind, based in part on Childress’s own experience of racial 16 stereotyping in theatre, moved south to Greenwich Village, where it opened on November 3, 1955 at the 200-seat Greenwich Mews Theatre. After her marriage to Alvin Childress ended in divorce in 1957, Alice Childress continued to act on- stage, in film and on television, while her writing for theatre took on new forms when, with her second husband, composer Nathan Woodward, she co-wrote several musicals, including Young Martin Luther King (1968) and Sea Island Song (1977). Her play Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Story in Black and White (1966), about an interracial relationship in 1918 Charleston, was performed in Ann Arbor and Boston, but failed to find a New York producer until Joe Papp presented it at his New York Shakespeare Festival in 1972. A subsequent dramatization for abc television was rejected by several abc affili- ates because of the play’s controversial subject matter. Childress’s Wine in the Wilderness, which addresses sexism within the African-American community, was first performed on wgbh television in 1969 as part of a series called “On Being Black.” She added fiction to her accomplishments in the 1970s, her novel for young readers A Hero Ain’t Nothing but a Sandwich, about teenage drug addiction, winning the American Library Association Best Young Adult Novel Award in 1973. She wrote the screenplay for the 1977 film version, directed by Ralph Nelson, starring Cicely Tyson and Paul Winfield. Her 1981 novel A Short Walk, which deals with the migration of American blacks from the rural south to the urban north, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1977. Among her other awards was the Paul Robeson Award for Outstanding Achievement in Theatre and the Harlem School of the Arts Humanitarian Award.

PHILIP AKIN Director SHAW 2021: Director for Trouble in Mind. “Where are you from?” What a seemingly simple yet complicated question that comes complete with dog-whistle overtones. On one side, I am a Canadian citizen born abroad in Kingston, Jamaica. So I was never Jamaican and, after coming to Oshawa in the early ’50s, I never felt like I was truly a Canadian either. Even though I am a third-generation Canadian “where are you from?” has always been the question asked to deny my right to be here. So I am from the heart of my friends, partners and family. I am from the artists who excite and inspire me. I am from the cama- RACHEL FORBES raderie of fellow travellers and I am from the world inside my imagination.

RACHEL FORBES Set Designer SHAW 2021: Set designer for Trouble in Mind. I was born 17 and raised in Mississauga, in the suburbs of Toronto. My family before that hails from Africville in Halifax, Trinidad and Jamaica. I don’t remember the first piece of theatre that I experienced, but I do have an idea of what made me fall in love with it. Growing up, my mother instilled in me a great love of reading and storytelling. Storytelling in all forms has been a major draw for me. I’m certain a direct link can be made between my childhood Lego worlds, paper dolls, and my work today. I found myself interested in the theatrical form in high school, and once I discovered I could be a storyteller in theatre without doing any public speaking, I was in. After uni- versity I was mentored at Obsidian Theatre Company and with Astrid Janson. I learned countless lessons from them both.

MING WONG MING WONG Costume Designer SHAW 2021: Costume designer for Trouble in Mind. I am from Bright’s Grove, Ontario, a border town in a corner of Sarnia. I am a graduate of the Integrated Media program at the Ontario College of Art & Design, and came into costume design purely by chance. Coincidentally, my first time working in professional theatre was with Philip for Obsidian Theatre on Intimate Apparel at the Berkeley Street Theatre. On that show I learned the ins and outs of great design, great direction, and the potential of what great theatre can do. It’s one of the main reasons that I decided to pursue a career in theatre and costumes. I’ve been lucky enough to make this happy accident my liveli- hood and passion for over fifteen years. This year I had the honour of being named the 2021 recipient of the Virginia & Myrtle Cooper Travel Award in costume design. MIKAEL KANGAS Lighting Designer SHAW 2021: Lighting designer for Trouble in Mind. I walked into the theatre at my high school – Etobicoke School of the Arts – and never left. Designing for theatre has become my passion. The teamwork, creativity and dedication have inspired me since the first show I ever worked on. Having assisted at the Shaw Festival over the past several MIKAEL KANGAS seasons, I’m pleased to be given the privilege and opportunity of designing again, for a third time, this season. Our time away from in-person gatherings, has reinforced for me how important the shared experience of performance is for everyone.

RYAN deSOUZA Music Director / Sound Designer SHAW 2021: Music director/sound designer for Trouble in Mind. Coming back to work this year, after weeks on Zoom was amazing. We had a band rehearsal for The Duke and Two Irenes. We set the band up on the South Lawn Patio on a beautiful Thursday morning. It was sunny and warm, yet there was a cool breeze. For years we had longed to rehearse outside. It is so hard to be stuck in rehearsal hall on a beautiful day. Now here we were, playing together as a band for the first time in eighteen months, looking out over the Commons. It seemed surreal. I counted off the intro to “Take the A Train” and then we were off… With so much fear and uncertainty that came with this pandemic, there have been some wonderful silver linings! RYAN deSOUZA

ALICIA RICHARDSON 18 Dialect Consultant SHAW 2021: Dialect consultant for Trouble in Mind. I’m originally from Boynton Beach, Florida. My first time in the theatre was as an eager ten-year-old, doing the school musical (which my fourth-grade class wrote, composed and performed). I didn’t realize then the pro- found gift of arts education through the actual practice of it; it was the only coursework that didn’t involve textbooks or memorization by route. I truly got to innovate – create melodies, learn new instruments and build entire worlds as I saw them. I will never forget how deeply empowering that was, to be the author of my own story. It’s why I’m still an artist to this day.

I grew up in two different worlds – one in southern Ontario, in Toronto, and one in northern Ontario, in Thunder Bay. Between the two, I found myself in my first play at the age of eleven – A Midsummer Night’s Dream, KALEB ALEXANDER KALEB and from that moment I was hooked. No matter how far I strayed from performing, the arts have called me back. From being a farmer in Australia, to sipping coconuts in Sri Lanka, to the Shaw Festival today, theatre has always been a home that I love to return to.

DAVID ALAN ANDERSON Sheldon Forrester SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind and The Devil’s Disciple; 2nd season. I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, where our house was filled with creative energy – my mother’s drawings; music she played on her childhood piano; soul music being played in the family room, coming from the band my dad managed DAVID ALAN ANDERSON as they rehearsed. I first stepped onto a stage when I was about nine. I attended a wedding reception at the Madam Walker Building in Indianapolis. While exploring, I got lost. While trying to find my way back, I found the stage.

NEIL BARCLAY Eddie Fenton SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind and Charley’s Aunt; 31st season. From the moment I was taken to my first play at the age of ten, I was smitten: I collected my programmes, I bought every cast recording I could find, I recorded plays on our vhs machine and watched and re-watched them. I nagged my mom to take me to New York at spring break and then to make summer pilgrimages to Stratford and Shaw. My grade ten North American Literature teacher, Father Peck, NEIL BARCLAY urged me to audition for Our Town at Loyola High School, and that led to a deep dive at cegep and then nts. And for the past thirty- three years I’ve been making a living at it. I have been blessed to work alongside scores of extraordinary actors and, this season, I am thinking of three who were particular friends and inspirations: Jennifer Phipps, Mary Haney and David Schurmann.

KRISTI FRANK Judy Sears SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind; 9th sea- son. I hail from the beautiful Battlefords, Saskatchewan, the land of the living skies. Growing up I was fortunate that my mother regularly took my sister and 19 me to see everything from KRISTI FRANK touring shows, to gallery exhibits, to week-long fringe- festival extravaganzas. One memorable experience was watching Ernie Coombs in a tour of his Mr Dressup show.

ALICIA RICHARDSON ALICIA We were fans, and to see him in person was such a delight. His connection to the audi- ence and the world of make- believe transported us, and to this day it still brings back such fond memories. PATRICK GALLIGAN Bill O’Wray SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind and Charley’s Aunt; 18th season. It’s rare for an actor to play the same role twice, even rarer forty years apart. In 1981, in my final year at Brebeuf College High School, I played Sir Francis Chesney in our high school production of Charley’s Aunt. Although I remember having

great fun playing a fifty-one-year-old, retired, British army GALLIGAN PATRICK officer, a career in the performing arts was something I never really considered. But when I think back to that year, I am struck by how much one teacher affected my future. In Mr E.J. Barry’s English class, we were inspired not only to study plays like Waiting for Godot and Hamlet, but to bring them to life. It was thrilling to participate in a kind of alchemy, where words on a page were transformed into something alive and magical. Thank you, Mr Barry!

PETER MILLARD Henry SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind and The Devil’s Disciple; 34th sea- son. My brother and sister laughed at my antics, taught me how to play the ukulele and many family jokes. My father played drums, piano and cello, became a pharmacist like his father, was a Justice of the Peace, and built a 150-seat, 16mm-movie theatre. We, the family, became box office, ticket takers, ushers, popcorn sellers and projectionists. My mother, the daughter of a Methodist minister, taught in a one- PETER MILLARD room schoolhouse before she married, made me prac- tice piano, sing in music festivals, and often wouldn’t accept the real reasons I was absent or late home from school. So I got used to making up stories that sounded more believable to her than the truth. How could I not end up in the theatre? I am also inspired, daily, by my 20 grandson Charles Eliot Millard. NAFEESA MONROE Wiletta Mayer SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind; 2nd season. I started my life in theatre when I was ten years old; my mother took me to the Palo Alto Children’s Theatre and said, “Can she help out?” The theatre staff took me under their wings and by the age of twelve I was building sets, hanging lights, sewing costumes, practicing the art of folding programmes, and performing in three to five shows a year for the next decade. The theatre became my home; and all those within its walls became my family. With my ba in African-American

Studies and my mfa in classical acting, my life’s path SANGSTER KIERA led me to found Classics in Color: An INclusive Theatre Company to bring radical inclusivity (both on-stage THÉA PEL and off) to classic and classical works.

KIERA SANGSTER Millie Davis SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind; 15th season. Raised in Toronto, Ontario, my primary/elementary school, R.J. Lang, was a “proj- ect” school for the district… meaning all students were exposed to many unique programs most other schools didn’t offer. Our school had a stage, which meant that anytime a cool new song came out (Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now” comes to mind), I seized the opportunity to teach my friends something that could be performed during our school assemblies. Mr Cole was a teacher who changed my life. He encouraged my mother to enrol me in an arts-focused school, which I continued throughout my elementary and secondary education. Thankfully it worked out! GRAEME SOMERVILLE Al Manners SHAW 2021: Trouble in Mind and The Devil’s Disciple; 19th season. The entreaty of Henry V’s chorus to “eke out our performance with your mind” is what enthralled me from a young age to this life in the theatre. Raised in Cambridge, Ontario, I spent many summer evenings of my youth being driven to Shaw and Stratford and then, for a few hours, being transported into Illyria or Rome, down into the alleys of Canning Town, or up into West End drawing rooms. As the chorus in Henry sug- gests, the audience never really forgets that they are sitting in a theatre of an evening; that the marble is a cunning paint job, the stars are electric, and the characters are but players with a memorized script. GRAEME SOMERVILLE But every so often, our imaginations intertwine and together we transcend.

AMY JEWELL Stage Manager NAFEESA MONROE SHAW 2021: Stage manager for Trouble in Mind; assistant stage manager for The Devil’s Disciple; 22nd season. Although I grew up in Ajax, Ontario, I have spent most of my adult life in the Niagara Region. The first professional production I remember seeing was The Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theatre. I loved it so much (the effects! the singing!) I saw it three times, and my love of theatre began. In high school I worked on productions both at school and in the community and ultimately, with the support of my family, decided to pursue theatre as a career. I initially began university 21 with an acting focus, but I quickly fell in love with the technical side. Although I ultimately chose to pursue a career in stage management, in my spare time I continue to make use of the carpentry and sewing skills I learned at school.

THÉA PEL AMY JEWELL Assistant Stage Manager SHAW 2021: Assistant stage man- ager for Trouble in Mind; 7th sea- son. My earliest memories of stage management are from when I was four years old, sitting under the production tables at the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto. My father would dump out his tool kit and task my sister and me with reassembling it as quietly as possible. I think this started my love for post-its; a love that I would rediscover years later after university. The chaotic, quiet, hilarious magic of sitting in a rehearsal hall watching a production be assembled before your eyes, brings me renewed joy with each show I meet.

“The Shaw has always been a form of respite from our busy lives. It was only natural for us to become actively involved in the Shaw community as volunteers and donors. Over the past year, we have reflected on all the pleasant experiences and activities that we’ve enjoyed at the Festival and it became apparent that we both needed and wanted to leave the Shaw Festival a legacy that would support this

wonderful organization’s ability to continue Schmidt. Tina by Photo Collins. Glenna and Derek touching the lives of all those who enjoy its work now and into the future.” – Derek & Glenna Collins
