SHAREomaha.org SUPPORT THE — 4 — DIRECTOR’S NOTES How does a memory get made and why do we keep or not keep certain ones? What is the difference between a moment that becomes a memory and one that just passes? Often, exceptionally consequential or deeply emotional moments are seared into our memory. But what about those trivial things that also manage to secure a space on the register of our personal history? Why do simple things like sunsets or unbuttoned blouses or bad jokes find a place alongside first kisses and final goodbyes? Maybe they’re not trivial at all. Perhaps it is the memory of all the little things that make up a life. In Before After, we see the importance of the big and little memories that make up a life when we learn in the first scene that Ben has lost his memory. Ami, given the choice to tell him the truth or not, takes advantage of the clean slate and attempts to start again. As the musical progresses, each scene alternates between the memory of their first relationship (Before) and the progress of their second relationship (After). In the “before,” Ben and Ami meet, fall in love, and create a life full of memories together. In the “after,” Ben believes he’s meeting Ami for the first time, but she is using her memories of their first relationship to correct their mistakes from before. Alissa Hanish, Elizabeth Stinman, Scott Van Den Top, and I have had the pleasure of working together twice before on creative projects, and I couldn’t be happier for the opportunity to collaborate with them again. And this time, we’ve added Chloe Fulbright as stage manager to our team. In the past, we’ve dealt with themes of love, humor, heartache, seduction, wars, and giants. Now, we’re approaching this story which focuses in on art and memory. As artists ourselves, we’ve really enjoyed crafting a story in which art plays such a central role in creating memories and fostering healing. We hope you enjoy the story as much as we’ve enjoyed telling it. Suzanne Withem WELCOME FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT Greetings BLUEBARNers! Welcome BACK. Who knew that one year ago, it would be this long before I would have the pleasure, the relief, of saying that? The inimitable actress Lynn Redgrave once said “I think the theatre is as essential to civilization as safe, pure water.” I have to agree, but can also relate to this on a more personal note. Prior to the pandemic, I knew that theatre was a critical part of my life and my heart. But a few months in, it became clear that my need for live theatre - beauty, community, creativity, art - approximated my need for water. A basic need that could not quite be fulfilled by livestreams and podcasts. So, here we are dipping a toe in, and hoping this is the beginning of a path back to full scale production in this venue and all others where we can share community, love, emotion, and growth. Together, in person, once again. And here’s to the amazing minds that came together to design and construct the space that is the BLUEBARN. A space with such amazing adaptability that allows us to begin this journey back... around a bonfire. Enjoy this wonderful series - I really can’t wait to see you all again.

  • It's Showtime
    : THE DETAILS TO DELIVER: SCOTT STRINGER’S MAYORAL PLANS Volume 8 It’s Showtime: A 25-Point Plan to Revive Arts and Culture in New York City and Build a More Equitable Future May 6, 2021 IT’S SHOWTIME: A 25-Point Plan to Revive Arts and Culture in New York City and Build a More Equitable Future EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There’s no place like New York City when it comes to arts and culture. From our world-class museums, to the bright lights of Broadway, to local DIY venues, to trailblazing artists and companies, the five boroughs represent the artistic center of the country and perhaps the world. It is where Abstract Expressionism and minimalist art, bebop, hip hop, and salsa, modern dance, modern ballet, break dancing, and voguing were born — and where every corner of every neighborhood is bustling with creativity and culture. New York City’s ecosystem of artists, educators, craftsmen, media, philanthropy -- and yes, audience members -- are unmatched anywhere in the world. And yet it is precisely this interconnected network that has been so existentially threatened by COVID-19 and the profound job losses the pandemic wrought after cultural venues were forced to shutter more than a year ago. Scott Stringer understands that New York City is all but defined by its arts and culture, and as mayor he will lead the charge to bring back the creative sector. Today, more than one year after the first Broadway stages closed their doors, the city’s cultural workers and cultural sector are still struggling and need a robust plan to not only recover, but to build a more vibrant, enriching, inclusive, diverse, STRINGER FOR MAYOR | MAY 6, 2021 2 populist, and daring cultural sector than ever before.

As a member and as Chair of the University’s Board of Trustees for many years, I know the traditions and rich history of this institution, and I am committed to continuing both. When I arrived back in August, one of my top priorities was much greater detail. As you will see, our young men and to meet the St. John’s community — to go out and speak with women are profoundly impacted by service and, once they the students, alumni, faculty, administrators and staff who graduate, carry the Vincentian spirit with them to communities comprise this magnificent institution.

The show is based on the characters of the Addams family created by Charles Addams in gag's mono-panel animations, which depict a macabre American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Although there are numerous film and television adaptations of Addams' cartoons, the musical is the first stage performance based on the characters.

The original cast featured Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia. [4] Production closed on December 31, 2011, and a revised national tour of North America began in September 2011. The Addams family won several awards during its Broadway performance including a Drama Office Award for Outstanding Ensemble Design,[5] an External Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Set Design,[6] and the 2010 Drama Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Musical Theatre Award (presented to Nathan Lane). [7] The show was nominated for two Tony Awards, among other nominations. [8] The British premiere of the Addams family was announced on 5 September 2016 and opened at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre in Edinburgh in April 2017 before embarking on a major UK tour.
