2015/16 SEASON 5 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

Karen Zacarías is a true Renaissance woman. She is a playwright, director and actor. She is a teacher — through both Georgetown University and her work as founder of Young Playwrights’ Theater of D.C. She is a mother of three beautiful children. Karen writes plays for all ages — children and adults. Her work has been featured all around the Washington area and in cities nationwide. She was a natural choice to be one of Arena’s participating playwrights in the Women’s Voices Theater Festival. The idea of the Women’s Voices Theater Festival was generated by artistic directors, including myself, thinking about how we could all work together to increase the visibility of Washington’s thriving theater scene, while at the same time respond to the pressing issue facing the field — that far fewer female writers’ plays receive full productions nationally than those of their male counterparts. The idea of a region-wide event grew to include more than 50 theaters producing a world-premiere play, musical or adaptation by a female writer during September and October of 2015. Join us all over the city! Come back to Arena and see Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End later this fall. Choose a theater you haven’t been to before … there are many wonderful options. The first playwright we invited to join the Arena team as a resident playwright, Karen immersed herself in Arena’s artistic life as well as taking full advantage of the opportunities the residency provided. Ten writers have now worked with us through the residency program, and I am interested in the full range of their work, not only what was worked on during the residency. In Karen, Arena has not only a strong artistic and creative relationship, but we have a true friend. Her enthusiasm is boundless, her talent is remarkable and her drive is inspiring. When Karen had the idea to write Destiny of Desire — a fun and wild story in the style of a telenovela — I was instantly intrigued. I want to produce stories at Arena we haven’t seen before and my guess is that none of you have seen a telenovela on stage, and maybe only some of you on the small screen. Karen surprised me again with a delightful and complex story peopled by characters who keep changing shape. Who you think the characters are at first is definitely not who each ends up to be. The Mead Center was built to hold a broad and rich treasure trove of voices. Tonight you’ll experience an all-Latino cast in the making of Destiny of Desire. We are pleased to welcome director José Luis Valenzuela to Arena. As a prominent artist in American theater, José Luis is the ideal director. Elegant and charming, he is already taking Arena into his warm embrace. It’s a pleasure to have Karen’s voice welcome all of you to Arena’s 2015/16 season. May your destiny and desire keep you coming back! Best,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

6 2015/16 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

You may be wondering why we are front and center on the Women’s Voices Theater Festival. When Molly got together with several of her fellow hometown artistic directors to discuss ways to work together to strengthen and build visibility for our theater scene, I was thrilled the group decided on women’s voices as a region-wide theater festival. Clearly as “produced playwrights,” female writers are vastly under-represented. Addressing that situation is a strong idea to rally around, and will build awareness of the breadth and vitality of the Greater Washington theater community — one of the best-kept secrets in the nation. I am also reminded that beyond important storytellers, many women over my 40-plus year career have been true visionaries. My first job as a managing director was working alongside Pamela Hawthorn, founder and artistic director of the New Play Centre in Vancouver, B.C. The mission she defined led to the establishment of a center where every local playwright who submitted a script was guaranteed a reading, a meeting with a director, dramaturgical support and maybe a full production in a one-act festival, or eventually a production in a purpose-built theater on the waterfront in downtown Vancouver. One of our proudest moments was the world premiere of Betty Lambert’s Jenny’s Story, a powerful play about a shameful period in Canada’s history when women who were determined to be of “insufficient intellectual capacity” were sterilized. Betty had a ferocious voice and Pam, a keen ear tuned to important stories that otherwise would not have found an audience. Of course baked into Arena’s history and artistic DNA are the breathtaking ideas of first Zelda Fichandler and now Molly Smith. Zelda saw the obvious need to make a place in our nation’s capital where everyone was welcome and where the artists making the work were resident in our community, not only visitors. Then over 17 years ago, Molly arrived with a challenge to focus on American artists’ work, with an equal emphasis on well-established and brand-new plays and musicals. Both artistic leaders also consistently remind us of our responsibility to engage our organization in educating the next generations and encouraging and celebrating our diverse voices. So I love the idea of the Women’s Voices Theater Festival. In the age of enlightened self- interest, I welcome the new voices, rejoice in the fact that we live in a region that has the capacity to act successfully on this initiative and happily value the influence that women I have worked with (and will continue to work with) have already had on our art form and my life. Thanks for listening! All best,

Edgar Dobie, Executive Producer
