DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Most audiences think of Neil Simon as a comedy writer-playwright. After all, that’s how he began his extraordinary career. He wrote jokes and sketches with some of the television greats including Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. He wrote his first play, Come Blow Your Horn, on week- ends while he was working on The Red Skelton Show and Your Show of Shows. Upon completion of his first play, he became a playwright and followed that play with many others – billed as comedies – almost all very, very successful. He understood that humor comes from pain. Be- ing hit in the head with a frozen veal chop, being let go from a job…I think Prisoner of Second Avenue is a fabulous example of that.
Chapter Two is billed as a comedy but if it was written today it would be billed as a dramedy: a word coined in contemporary television to define both drama and comedy in a show. I feel that Chapter Two was the beginning of Neil Simon’s maturation as a playwright which culminated in his hugely successful Brighton Beach Memoirs and Broadway Bound. Chapter Two deals with love and loss: grieving and replacing. A dear friend once told me that in divorce and loss of a loved one, generally, women grieve and men replace. Well, that is the context of George Schneider’s and Jennie Malone’s experience when they choose each other so soon after his wife’s death. Heavy subject matter! And yet, Simon finds the humor that makes life’s sorrows bearable. He celebrates love and loss and brings tears to our eyes through pain and laughter. He finds the joy, the absurdity, and the pain of dying and loving. Neil Simon is not only gifted, he is very brave. He writes about himself and his perspective on life as he experiences it; fortunately for his audi- ences, he has a finger on the pulse of the people in the theatre.

LETTER FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR DAVID IVERS
We owe much to David Ira Goldstein and his tenure with Arizona Theatre Company. His achieve- ments are vast and varied, and his ability to program a season that brings together top-tier artists is admirable to be sure. His most recent stroke of genius was to program Chapter Two at the top of this 51st season as we head literally and figuratively into the next part of ATC’s limitless story.
Neil Simon’s play about finding love after loss was written for his second wife, Marsha Mason, who happens to be with us in Arizona at the helm of the play he lovingly wrote in her honor. Full of humor and pathos, it’s a fitting beginning to ATC’s season and a hopeful reminder that happiness can be just around the corner. I love the heart, the warmth, wit, and intelligence of the play. Mr. Simon’s adeptness with language and character is on full display as he literally pens from his life. It’s a great honor, as well, to have this extraordinarily talented cast and team with us, supported by a very dedicated staff of full-time and seasonal employees. I can’t tell you what a thrill it is to know that Ms. Mason, prolific stage and award-winning film actress, returns to us as a director. I hope you’ll join me in welcoming her back from last season’s hit An Act of God, and with me, convince her to return. My goal is to nurture a “family” of artists. To provide them with an “artistic home.” Arizona seems the perfect community to embrace these theatrical “snowbirds.” So, thanks Ms. Mason.
I’m here now too, same first name as my predecessor (although taller), happy and inspired to carry the torch with the hope the next 50 years will bring us together surrounded by stories that help contextualize our world even as they entertain and inspire. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms to your beautiful community, and for demanding excellence from our institution. We are here to serve our community as a whole and relish the chance to be in a room with you experiencing the power and majesty that only live theatre can provide.
As Liviu Ciulei, renowned Romanian director/writer and former Artistic Director of the Guthrie Theatre, says: “A community can be measured by the questions its theatre asks.” So it is with us.
And so we are here.

Chapter Two.
Thanks for your support,

LETTER FROM MANAGING DIRECTOR BILLY RUSSO
I am so thrilled to return to Arizona Theatre Company this year in the official capacity as Managing Director. I had the great privilege to meet many of ATC’s family of audience, donors, board, and staff during my time here over the last eighteen months as the executive management consultant and acting managing director. During that time, I came to have great affection for the Board of Trustees; the communities of both Tucson and Phoenix; and especially the talented, committed, and resilient staff of this great organization. During the search process for the new artistic leadership of the organization, I got to know David Ivers very well, and it became immediately clear that we had a shared vision of the value of ATC in the cultural life of Arizona and the immense opportunities for its future. That, added to my newfound love of living in the desert and the vibrant and varied cultural lives of Phoenix and Tucson, I was thrilled to be asked to join David as part of the new Executive Leadership of the organization.
At the beginning of ATC’s 50th Anniversary Season, I witnessed a unique galvanization of the communities behind ATC, and the outpouring of support both financial and of friendship was beyond impressive and of a scale rarely seen in the American regional theatre industry. Because of such support, we were able to move forward with a season that was grounded in the belief that for an arts organization to thrive and be vital it must be brave and ambitious in its programming and – with fiscal responsibility – strive to bring its audiences work that is exciting in both scope and aspiration. We are thrilled to report that in the 2016/2017 season, subscription sales increased by over 16%, single tickets increased by 45%, the annual fund contributed income was 25% above the past ten-year average, and with the implementation of a multi-year Fund for Working Capital Campaign, the year ended with an operating surplus of nearly $1 million.
All of this success and forward momentum could not have been possible without the stalwart support shown by the communities in Tucson and Phoenix, and across the whole state of Arizona. David Ivers and I are well aware that there is still a lot of work to be done to place ATC on a firm financial footing and to properly capitalize the organization’s operations, and we are thrilled to be embarking on this next chapter together from a position of strength and growth. We resolve to live up to that belief and vote of confidence.
I’m sure you will be hearing from us in the near future about other ways you may engage with the company and support Arizona’s only fully professional producing theatre, but right now I just wanted to say thank you.
With deep gratitude,
Billy Russo [email protected]
