ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

One of the biggest mistakes we make as human beings is to fail to learn from our past. In 1944, was forced to drop out of the because of his Japanese ancestry. He was born, raised, and educated in America yet his family was made to abandon their home, personal belongings, and farming business to move into an internment camp because of their heritage. A life that held the promise of the “American Dream” was destroyed because of his ancestry. Gordon's story is one that we attribute to the past. It would impossible today, right? Yet, here we are. 75 years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order clearing the way for the forced relocation of 127,000 , President Trump issued a travel ban on immigrants from Muslim-majority countries, an indefinite ban on refugees from Syria, and seeks to crack down on “chain migration” which could permanently separate families in need of help. For the families affected by Trump's ban, this is a horrific nightmare. As Gordon's story shows, such decisions have an enormous impact on families and communities. Fueled by the "need to protect America first,” this mindset wreaks havoc and devastation on innocent Americans’ lives. Refugees who have been waiting for years to immigrate and have undergone months of vetting are facing further delays preventing them from reuniting with their families. In 2018, who would have thought our country would be on the edge of repeating a shameful episode from our nation's past? Hold These Truths is a lesson in courage about standing up to government officials when they fail to protect its citizens. What an honor to welcome Ryun Yu in this tour-de-force performance with director Jessica Kubzansky to Washington, D.C. Jeanne Sakata’s powerful play has been opening the eyes of audience members across the country. May it be the same for us here in our city. Many thanks,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

Arena Stage works diligently to ensure that the experiences of all Americans are seen onstage in shows that are appealing and stimulating. You might be surprised to learn that we have a similar commitment backstage. One of the core values of our mission is to “cultivate an engaged, diverse, and responsive board, staff, audience, and community.” While we will always work toward diversity and gender parity within our organization, I hope to illustrate evidence of our commitment to this value. We have teal staff shirts that proudly proclaim that we are “Artists All.” Beyond being theatre artists, our staff has a diverse array of backgrounds, hailing from states across the country. They are spouses, parents, educators, athletes, coaches, chefs and gardeners. They bring their experiences, educations and expertise to help bring our shows to life in their own unique ways. They have also found new ways to expand Arena’s programming outside of the theater. Some of these avenues have included the 10 Job Fairs we have hosted at the Mead Center, our ongoing book drive for Martha’s Table Feeds the Minds, and our involvement with the Southwest Bid to improve our neighborhood. We come together as “Artists All” to produce not only the work on our stages, but to serve the community as a whole. Our Board of Trustees engages with our organization by serving as our governing body. Within our Board we have both community leaders and professionals from a variety of areas of expertise. They are lawyers, public relations professionals, doctors, entrepreneurs, lobbyists, authors, developers and business owners. They are parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and are active in the community through their service on multiple boards outside of Arena Stage. We are grateful to have them as subscribers, donors and champions for the theater out in the community. We encourage diversity in our audiences by producing plays and musicals that highlight the multi-cultural fabric of the United States. We continue to discover work by writers from underrepresented groups and commission playwrights from various backgrounds. Post-show discussions allow us to connect with historians and experts in the community who specialize in the topics the shows cover and allow our audiences the chance to process the work they saw, ask questions and engage beyond the performance. Our consensus organizing allows us to connect members of our community with our programming. For example, for Hold These Truths, we are partnering with the Japanese American Citizens League. Arena Stage is a resident theater for the Washington D.C. public. We take our place in the community very seriously. I hope that as you watch Hold These Truths you appreciate knowing the ways in which Arena Stage continues to encourage diverse, engaged and responsive citizens and artists onstage and off. Thanks for reading,

2017/18 SEASON 7 MOLLY SMITH’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON NEW WORKS, NEW VOICES AND WORLD-PREMIERE PRODUCTIONS A great believer in new work, Molly Smith has placed new play development at Arena Stage’s artistic center. Focusing on world-premieres and second and third productions, Arena has shepherded reimagined classics, shows like Baskerville and A Time to Kill, as well as unheard stories like The Shoplifters and Love in Afghanistan. Under Smith’s tenure, Arena Stage has produced 39 world-premieres by writers who represent the diversity of America, and workshopped more than 120 new plays. Enjoy her thoughts on these premiere productions! BLUE 1999/2000 SEASON “Charles and I first met right after I was named Artistic Director of Arena Stage. We met in the best way possible for artists to meet — through the work on stage. I saw his production of Insurrection by Robert O'Hara at ACT in San Francisco and was wowed by it. I immediately asked him to come direct at Arena Stage and we began our artistic adventure together. Many projects later as either playwright or director, Charles has showcased his talent over and over again. We trust each other and Photo of John Cephas and Clinton Derricks-Carroll in Polk County by Scott Suchman. that's a rare thing in this crazy business. His production of Motown continues to show itself dramatically around the world.” POLK COUNTY 2001/02 SEASON “Stories of America’s past are not always pretty. Sometimes they are painful, painting a picture of a world many are happy to relegate to the past. Polk County may be one of those stories, but for others, Polk County is a magnificent view inside a tiny African- American sawmill community in 1930s Florida. Hurston’s language — juicy, gutsy and full of the complexity of the human condition — is from the world in which she grew up. Two people nurtured the development of this play after its discovery through the Library of Congress archives: Kyle Donnelly and Cathy Madison. They nurtured — indeed loved — this piece of theater onto the stage through years of Photo of the of Blue by Stan Barouh. reading, revision and focused passion.”

PASSION PLAY, A CYCLE 2005/06 SEASON “Sarah Ruhl created a huge work which asks complex questions on the intersection of politics and religion with ordinary people, challenging everyone, artists and audience alike, to expand our hearts, minds and worlds by experiencing them. This breathtaking, enormous work of art required a titanic dose of courage from all involved. I knew that it would stretch every one of us to our limits with its extended rehearsal period, complicated designs which stretched across three eras, financial risks and the sheer Photo of Kelly Brady, Laurence Redmond, J. Fred Shiffman and Carla Harting in Passion Play, a Cycle by Scott Suchman. enormity of the ideas. Sarah is one of the most important writers in the theater and I’m happy we were part of her recognition as a major new voice for the theater.” LEGACY OF LIGHT 2008/09 SEASON “Karen Zacarias is a true Renaissance woman; a playwright, director, actor, mother and teacher. Karen writes plays for all ages — children and adults. Her work has been featured all around the Washington area and in cities nationwide. In Karen, Arena has not only a strong artistic and creative relationship, but we have a true Photo of Stephen Schnetzer and Lise Bruneau in Legacy of Light by Scott Suchman. friend. Her enthusiasm is boundless, her talent is remarkable and her drive is inspiring. She is now the most produced Latina playwright in the country. We’re proud to be part of her trajectory.” THE BLOOD QUILT 2014/15 SEASON “Katori Hall is undeniably one of the most exciting playwrights of our time. Her writing is daring and fearless, one of the distinct voices in our coterie of writers. A joy of this production was the strength of the African American women helming the project: playwright, director, composer, costume designer, and of course five Photo of Caroline Clay and Afi Bijou, with Nikiya Mathis inThe Blood Quilt wonderful .

PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTE / SPECIAL THANKS

PLAYWRIGHT'S NOTE This play is based on a true story, inspired by many hours of interviews I conducted with Gordon Hirabayashi and several of his friends from the 1940’s, by numerous letters written by Mr. Hirabayashi during his imprisonment and by contemporary articles written by and about Mr. Hirabayashi. It is a work blending historical fact with fiction, and certain actual events have been compressed or altered in terms of chronology or content for dramatic purposes. In Act II, Gordon’s letters are works of fiction inspired by his actual writings from the Ring Family papers in the University of Washington Special Collections, Accession Number #4241-001. Dramatic license has been taken with the actual historical texts. In May 2012, Gordon Hirabayashi was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, by President .

SPECIAL THANKS A very special thanks to Gordon Hirabayashi for his time, hospitality and generosity in sharing his story.

For more information about making a planned gift or to inform us of your existing planned gift, please contact Holly Oliver at 202-600-4029 or [email protected].

“We feel the long-term viability of theater really has to come from two sources — annual fundraising efforts and long-term donations [in the form of a planned gift] from the people who love the theater and are willing to commit to it in perpetuity.” — Beth Newburger Schwartz and the late Richard Schwartz
