Our 42nd season was one for the record books. Roundabout Theatre Company was not only represented in New York City by nine productions on four stages, but also seen by audiences across the country through the second year of our critically-acclaimed national tour of Twelve Angry Men. This unprecedented wealth of theatrical productions earned a huge number of accolades, including a record 20 Tony Award® nominations. This season was not-for-profit theatre as it is meant to be: diverse, challenging, captivating, and entertaining.

The main reason for the incredible artistic and institutional health of Roundabout is Artistic Director Todd Haimes, who celebrated his 25th season this year. When he began as Roundabout’s managing director in 1983, he stepped into a 300-seat Off-Broadway theatre reeling from years in Chapter 11 and on the brink of disaster. Todd has steadily expanded the company artistically and institutionally, and today we are stronger than we have ever been. It is an honor to work with him and to acknowledge his profound contributions to Roundabout on this important milestone.

During his tenure, Todd has overseen the acquisition of permanent theatrical homes for our work, including the purchase of Studio 54. This season saw the conclusion of our ambitious $32 million capital campaign to pay for important renovations to this historic theatre, as well as the beginning of a much-needed endowment to secure Roundabout’s future. Although the vast majority of the work was done to the infrastructure of Studio 54 and is mostly invisible to our theatregoers, it has brought this 80-year-old theatre into the 21st century with brand-new electrical, sound, and lighting systems that allowed a technologically cutting-edge production like Sunday in the Park with George to call it home this season. We’ve also created amenities that every audience member can appreciate, including new bathrooms and a sleek donor lounge. Thank you most sincerely to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Speaker Christine Quinn and the New York City Council for funding much of this renovation. I’d also like to personally thank Vice Chair Mary Solomon for her leadership of the campaign, as well as the Campaign Committee, and the fellow members of our Board for their support. Thank you also to the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, The Kaplen Foundation, and The Kresge Foundation, whose Challenge Grant helped us to meet our ambitious financial goal.

It is with great warmth and a bit of sadness that I bid adieu to two colleagues as they retire from full-time participation on our Board: Chris Yegen and Bob Donnalley. Chris joined the Board in 1979 and was Roundabout’s financial savior in our darkest hour. Since that time, he has twice served as chairman, rendering outstanding leadership to the entire Board. Bob has been a Board member since 1990 and his financial generosity and invaluable guidance have been crucial during our biggest period of growth. Both men have made an indelible mark on Roundabout and their names will live on in perpetuity as the namesakes of the Yegen/Donnalley Lounge at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. The Board is proud to honor them for their years of service by naming Chris as Chairman Emeritus and Bob as Director Emeritus.

Finally, I would like to thank all of you: our loyal subscribers, our generous donors, our incredible staff, our supremely talented artists, and, of course, my fellow Board members. It is your support that makes our work at Roundabout possible. This year alone we reached almost 1 million theatergoers across the country. We hope you will continue to support our work as we engage and delight audiences for years to come.

Thomas E. Tuft Chairman of the Board

As artistic director of Roundabout Theatre Company, people often ask how each season gets put together. It’s a simple question to which there isn’t a simple answer. I often wish it were as easy as picking a rich mix of plays and musicals and slotting them each into our season, but the process is much more complex. Theatre is a collaborative art form, and as a not-for-profit company, we have a commitment to nurturing artists by challenging them with great works of theatre. Thus, it is imperative that we put together the right creative team and match that team with the right play or musical. And sometimes that takes time. At any given moment, Roundabout has 20 to 30 productions in the works, waiting for the moment when the stars align and it can finally appear on one of our stages.

In our 2007–08 season, the stars aligned to spectacular effect, allowing our subscribers and audiences to see the work of top theatre artists in a bold and eclectic slate of productions. In the fall, audiences could travel to Edwardian England in a daring new interpretation of Pygmalion at the American Airlines Theatre; to 1990s Rwanda in a provocative new play, The Overwhelming, at the Laura Pels Theatre; and to the gay underworld of 1970s New York City in a revival of The Ritz at Studio 54. And that’s only three of the nine productions on our stages! It’s so gratifying—both professionally and personally—to be able to present such a wide range of work all under the auspices of Roundabout.

With so much outstanding work by such a wide variety of artists in one season, it’s impossible to pick a favorite production. Yet two stand out for me, but both for very different reasons. The first was Speech & Debate by Stephen Karam, a small play that’s had a big impact on our organization. As described later in this report, our passion for this play reinforced Roundabout’s belief that early-career authors need a safe place to take risks and nurture their craft; thus began a brand-new initiative: Roundabout Underground. Speech & Debate was the first production of this initiative, and we couldn’t have hoped for a better start. A second production that’s particularly close to my heart allowed me to continue a relationship with an artist that I consider absolutely indispensible to both Roundabout and American theatre: Stephen Sondheim. It was such a pleasure to have a new, artistically innovative production of one of his masterpieces, Sunday in the Park with George, on the Studio 54 stage and to once again observe first-hand Steve’s unbelievable generosity to and encouragement of the next generation of theatre artists.

Making professional theatre accessible to all audiences is an important part of our not-for-profit mission and we increased our efforts this year with Access Roundabout. This season we offered 22,000 deeply discounted tickets through a series of innovative and popular initiatives including $10 First Preview; a $20 ticket for Roundabout Underground productions; our popular HipTix program for young professionals; ½ Price Tickets for Kids; Rush Tickets; and more. Allowing young and underserved audiences the opportunity to explore new worlds and theatrical styles through these programs is particularly gratifying.

I’m blessed at Roundabout to work with such extraordinary people: the new and returning artists who share their extraordinary talent, the best staff in the business, a dedicated Board of Directors under the leadership of Tom Tuft, and our family of donors and subscribers. In the following pages, you will read about the fruits of our collective labor, including a full slate of developmental readings and workshops to nurture plays and musicals for future seasons; our annual gala in which artists give so freely of their time and talent to raise funds for Roundabout; and our city-wide education programs. I’m so proud to have your support.

Todd Haimes Artistic Director 3 Mission Possible

Roundabout Theatre Company serves a multifaceted artistic mission that has evolved over its 42 years. What be- gan as a small company dedicated to classic plays is now one of the largest not-for-profit theatre companies in the country. Roundabout serves artists and audiences through innovative productions of new plays and musical revivals. In addition, Roundabout conducts vital artistic development programs with readings, workshops, and new play commissions, as well as education pro- grams that serve our community. Throughout its 2007–08 season, Roundabout demonstrated its maturity as a not-for-profit theatre in full bloom by presenting a diverse slate of theatrical activity. By looking back at this season, we can see the progression of that mission over the years and how it now plays out on each of Roundabout’s four stages.

CLASSICAL CANON When Roundabout began in 1965, its mission was simple: team great theatrical works with the industry’s finest artists in order to re-energize classic plays for a loyal subscription audience. That mission is still going strong as evidenced by the first production at the American Airlines Theatre, George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. For this production, director David Grindley returned to the original text of the play, unenhanced by the additions of subsequent film adaptations. There, he rediscovered Henry Higgins as a 40-year-old man in a state of arrested development, pampered by his upbringing and impervious to the feelings of others, rather than the older, debonair Higgins most audiences associate with the role. To bring this new interpretation to life, Grindley enlisted Tony Award® winner Jefferson Mays as Higgins, Tony Award® winner Boyd Gaines as Colonel Pickering, and an effervescent Claire Danes in her Broadway debut. The result was a controversial production that crackled with new life as these three actors expertly wrestled with Shaw’s themes of class, transformation, and human kindness. It succeeded in Richard Thomas in Twelve Angry Men doing what Roundabout tries to do with each production: see a work in a new light through bold reinvention. debauchery of this bygone world to life, reinterpreting these classic characters for a new generation of audiences. Christopher Hampton’s 1985 play Les Liaisons Dangereuses is adapted from a classic 1782 novel by Audiences around the country have had the opportunity to Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Taking place just before the experience one of Roundabout’s classic revivals first-hand in French Revolution, the play shows the decadence of the an unprecedented second year of a wildly successful national French aristocracy through a cruel game played between tour: Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men. Recreating the two former lovers who eagerly use people as pawns and magic of his acclaimed Broadway production, director Scott sex as the ultimate weapon. This production simmered for Ellis put together a stellar cast, including Richard Thomas three years before the perfect team was finally assembled: as Juror #5. Straight plays are usually a tough sell in the director Rufus Norris, Academy Award® nominee Laura musical-heavy touring market, but audiences and critics Linney as La Marquise de Mertuil, and Ben Daniels in his across the country have embraced this timeless story of one Broadway debut as La Vicomte de Valmont. Along with a jury’s deliberations and one man’s deeply felt responsibility to talented team of designers, they brought the elegance and pursue the truth. Through this tour, Roundabout has extended its reach to become a truly national theatre company.

4 MODERN MARVELS As Roundabout expanded over the years, it began to look beyond the established canon to include more contemporary plays that deserved to been seen anew. This season, Roundabout brought three of these plays to life, beginning with Terrence McNally’s ribald farce, The Ritz, which hadn’t been seen on Broadway since its debut in 1975. Set in a gay bathhouse in New York City, the play had all the elements of classic farce: mistaken identity, outrageous characters, and dozens of doors. In his first production at Roundabout since his Tony Award®-winning production of Assassins in 2004, director Joe Mantello kept the action fast and furious Sarah Paulson, Jennifer Dundas, and Lily Rabe in Crimes of the Heart as a mild-mannered businessman tried to escape a Mafia hit by hiding in the eponymous club. Audiences delighted the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg as the cast of 25 took Studio 54 by storm, including Kevin Center for Theatre. Winner of the 1982 Pulitzer Prize, Crimes Chamberlin, Brooks Ashmanskas, and Rosie Perez delivering of the Heart is a true ensemble piece about three sisters a madcap musical turn as the deluded nightclub singer in 1970s Mississippi and the secrets and love that bind Googie Gomez. them together. To bring these finely wrought characters to life, none other than Academy Award®-nominated actress It was a joy to welcome back writer Beth Henley, author Kathleen Turner made her NYC directing debut. Also at of Roundabout’s 1998 production, Impossible Marriage the Pels was a stunning revival of Christopher Durang’s (which was the first play commissioned by Roundabout), The Marriage of Bette and Boo. In this jet-black, semi- with a brand new production of her most acclaimed play at autobiographical comedy, Durang doesn’t shy away from one family’s troubling legacy of alcoholism, religious fervor, and mental illness. Director Walter Bobbie (Roundabout’s The Twentieth Century) delivered a pitch-perfect production featuring Victoria Clark, John Glover, Julie Hagerty, and Christopher Evan Welch deftly finding the delicate balance between humor and pathos.

MESMERIZING MUSICALS When Todd Haimes took over the reins as artistic director in 1989, he quickly realized that there were many classic works of a uniquely American form of theatre that were being neglected. This mission inspired Roundabout’s acclaimed Musical Theatre program, which rediscovered a string of critically-acclaimed productions such as She Loves Me, 1776, Cabaret, Nine, and The Pajama Game. Not surprisingly, the work of a single composer has been seen on Roundabout’s stages again and again: Stephen Sondheim. Through first-class revivals of Company, Follies, Assassins, and Pacific Overtures, Sondheim has become an esteemed member of the Roundabout family, always eager to allow startling new interpretations of his seminal works. A case in point was this season’s production of Sunday in the Park with George. A Pulitzer Prize winner in 1985, Sunday is well- remembered for the landmark original production directed by co-writer James Lapine. Rosie Perez and Kevin Chamberlin in The Ritz

5 Sunday in the Park with George is the fictionalized story BRING IN THE NEW of the real-life painter Georges Seurat and the creation Over the years, many of the writers whose work was of his masterpiece, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island presented by Roundabout in revival were interested in seeing of La Grande Jatte.” Director Sam Buntrock had an idea: their new work produced by the growing company. Haimes what if the audience could enter Georges’ head and assessed the situation and created the New Play Initiative see the park depicted in the painting evolve on stage with important support by the Laura Pels Foundation and from his first brush stroke to the final canvas? With a The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust. Established background in computer animation for film, Buntrock to focus on new plays by established writers, Roundabout began to develop ways to adapt this technology to the has since had a rich legacy of new work such as the stage and bring his vision to life. The result was a rare American premiere of J.T. Rogers’ The Overwhelming, a feat: cutting-edge technology that thoroughly enhanced vivid piece of political theatre. Set just before the Rwandan the work on stage. As performed by Olivier Award winners genocide of 1994, this rich drama focused on an American Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell and a terrific cast, this family recently transplanted to the African nation and its production redefined both a classic musical and the attempts to help a country it doesn’t begin to understand. possibilities of the stage.

New plays come in all stripes and Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps offered a comic tonic for audiences of all ages.

6 conditions. For our donors, it’s the prospect of getting a sneak peek at the next season. Last year, David Rabe’s Streamers, directed by Scott Ellis, was staged as part of the Friends of Roundabout Playreading Series and is now part of the 2008–09 season.

Another important part of Roundabout’s mission is to provide educational programs that will enrich the lives of children and adults. Described in full detail in the supplemental Education Report, these intensive programs reached 5,644 students in New York City alone and thousands more through the educational outreach of the Twelve Angry Men tour. These programs are a vital part of Roundabout’s commitment to have a meaningful impact on our community. Jason Fuchs, Sarah Steele, and Gideon Glick in Speech & Debate In 2007–08, Roundabout productions played to over 833,600 audience members around the country, served Adapted from the screenplay of the early Hitchcock thriller over 40,000 subscribers, and hired over 400 artists and by writer Patrick Barlow and director Maria Aitken, a cast of technicians.

As Todd Haimes explains, “There to life with only a few props, some costumes, and a whole lot are so many talented people out there who want to work in of Tony Award®-winning sound and lighting. So successful the theatre—actors, directors, playwrights, and designers. was this production that it transferred to the Cort Theatre for I feel like the more opportunity we can give to people, the an open-ended commercial run. stronger Roundabout will be and the stronger the American theatre will be.” This year also saw the development of a second new play initiative called Roundabout Underground (see page 14) dedicated to writers at the beginning of their career and launched by Stephen Karam’s comic gem, Speech & Debate. As directed by Jason Moore (Avenue Q, Shrek) and a youthful cast of four, Speech & Debate was a hilarious and timely exploration of the effects of the Internet age on a group of high school misfits. Since its Roundabout premiere, Speech & Debate has been performed at theatres across the country and has been optioned for a film, launching the career of the 26-year-old Karam.

ON STAGE…AND OFF Although Roundabout produced five Broadway productions, four Off-Broadway productions, and one national tour, a large part of its work last season was done off stage as part of our artistic and education programs. We held 25 readings and workshops of a wide mix of new plays, new musicals, and revivals. For Roundabout, it’s a chance to work on plays or musicals that are under consideration for a future season. For actors and directors, it’s an opportunity to try out new roles or to see a production on its feet in rehearsal

19 Broadway Karaoke

This year saw the introduction of a new event featuring the next generation of Broadway stars–uncensored and unrehearsed!—at Broadway Karaoke. On May 5, 2008, 250 young NYC professionals mixed and mingled with some of Broadway’s brightest stars at Arena, a state-of-the-art nightclub in Times Square. An evening of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres was followed by performances by some of the hottest young talent on Broadway, who took the stage to sing pop favorites. The line-up included Tony Award® winner John Lloyd Young (Jersey Boys), Tony Award® nominee Kerry Butler (Xanadu), and Nellie McKay (The Threepenny Opera), plus stars from Spring Awakening, Avenue Q, and more. All proceeds benefitted Education @ Roundabout. A highlight of the evening was a performance by two of our students who delivered an unforgettable duet from Rent. The evening was a true celebration of the future of Broadway!

20 spring gala 2008 Feeling Groovy

Roundabout Theatre Company opened its doors in 1965, a time that also marked the dawning of a brand- new age. While Roundabout revitalized classic plays on stage, pop music and fashion were being redefined. At our Spring Gala on April 8, 2008, over 500 Board members, donors, patrons, and artists of Roundabout celebrated this dynamic time with a unique evening called Feeling Groovy: Pop Songs of the 60s. To honor this extraordinary decade, Tony Award® winner Kathleen Marshall created a one-night-only musical celebration featuring Broadway’s hottest stars: Kelli O’Hara, Alan Cumming, Rosie Perez, and Brian D’Arcy James singing the unforgettable music Capaithia Jenkins singing Until You Come Stars of Sunday in the Park with George Back For Me Jenna Russell and Daniel Evans of the 1960s. With inspired leadership by Gala Chairs Lois Robbins and Andrew Zaro, the event raised a record $1.5 million for Roundabout’s Musical Theatre Fund. These important funds will help ensure that Roundabout’s rich musical productions such as Nine, Assassins, The Pajama Game, 110 in the Shade, this season’s Sunday in the Park with George, and Pal Joey can be enjoyed in exciting interpretations for new generations of theatregoers to experience.

21 Workshops and readings Through a series of Artistic Workshops and Friends of Roundabout Playreadings, We are committed to cultivating new plays and musicals as well as re-working classics. Artistic Workshops provide an intensive forum in which playwrights, composers, lyricists, and directors can test works in front of a small group of their peers. Friends Playreadings provide these artists with the opportunity to have their work performed in front of an enthusiastic audience and give Roundabout donors the unique experience of seeing theatre in the early stages of the development process. The following Artistic Workshops and Friends Playreadings were produced during Roundabout’s 2007–08 season.
