FROM THE DESK OF DAVID ARMSTRONG EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

90 YEARS IN THE HEART OF SEATTLE

his fall marks the 90th Anniversary of The 5th Avenue Theatre. On September 24, 1926 Seattle celebrated the debut of this spectacular venue with Ta grand opening that drew “one of the largest crowds ever assembled in downtown Seattle.” It is still very easy to see what all the fuss was about. With its spectacular authentic Chinese inspired décor and its warm and surprisingly intimate auditorium, The 5th has been a showstopper from day one. This theater was built to showcase the most popular musical theater of the 1920s—Vaudeville. There were many theaters in Seattle in that era, but The 5th was quickly acclaimed as the most glamorous and inviting. By the end of the decade movies had begun to talk and Vaudeville was fading, so for the next 50 years The 5th Avenue Theatre became Seattle’s premiere movie palace. By the late 1970s the heyday of large-scale cinemas was over, and the appeal and vitality of Downtown Seattle was on the Lastly (but certainly not least), you will experience our new decline.

This stunning production No matter how hopeless, no matter how far.” is brought to life by a trio of women—Director Allison Narver, Music Director Cynthia Kortman – Cervantes/Don Quixote, Man of La Mancha Westphal and Choreographer Maria Torres. I asked them each to reflect on the experience of Qandbringing thisA musical to The 5th Avenue stage.

What matters is that he is indelibly set free even more, it’s about the power that we all have to find in our imaginations and discovers for us a new quality beauty and meaning in the face of adversity and struggle. about the human spirit. The prisoners in the play are ultimately captivated by Cervantes’ act of make-believe.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS 5TH AVENUE PRODUCTION OF A MUCH-BELOVED SHOW? AN: When re-reading it and listening to the music again, CKW: This production is led by three strong women! I was struck by how relevant this show is to events in In our field, it is still highly unusual to have a female the world today.

Yes, this is the story of Inquisition, a time when heretics were imprisoned without the man of La Mancha, but in the end, I really see tests of any kind, were locked up in prisons, tortured and Aldonza as the one who has taken the biggest journey condemned. The resonance of this play made me want and made the most dramatic transformation. to create a contemporary setting—a place that could MT: The production is set in a present day world with be a refugee detainment camp or some kind of political modern influences.

To me this is one of the most powerful symbols of what it means to make art in the face of grim brutality. The beauty of the human voice declares itself despite the bleakness that surrounds it.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE THE AUDIENCE WALKS AWAY WITH AT THE END OF THE SHOW? AN: More than anything, I want the audiences to walk importantly, despite the weighty themes above, the away feeling that dividing the world into “us” and “them” play is really funny and I hope people laugh a lot. is no longer viable.

We are one world and of us—would continue to choose love over hate, hope at times, the act of storytelling or creativity can lift us to over despair, courage over fear. I hope that audiences see, approach the world with more courage and compassion. hear and feel that what Don Quixote called “The Quest” If people walk away enchanted by the beauty of the is our best defense against hate and despair and fear.

encoreartsseattle.com 11 THE IMPOSSIBLE MUSICAL By DREW LICHTENBERG, Literary Manager/Resident Dramaturg at the Shakespeare Theatre Company Reprinted with permission from the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C.

One of the first things to know about Man of La Mancha, perhaps the most popular adaptation of Don Quixote, is that it isn’t an adaptation at all. During a 1959 trip to Madrid, playwright Dale Wasserman read the book (or parts of it, it isn’t entirely clear) and came away convinced that this book, considered the greatest novel of all time, this “monument to human wit and folly could not, and should not, be dramatized.” Wasserman was right. Begun, most likely, as a short story ridiculing the romantic notion of chivalry, Cervantes’ Don Quixote quickly expanded into two volumes of brilliant, mercurial prose. A failed playwright and civil servant writing at the end of a long and chaotic life, Cervantes somehow produced, by some strange alchemy, a brilliant panorama of Spanish society in the 16th century, a profound meditation on life and death, and an endless hall-of-mirrors on the mysteries of identity. The premise of Don Quixote is a simple one: a country gentleman by the name of Alonso Quixana becomes enamored of chivalric literature, and determines to become a knight errant, by the name of Don Quixote. Accompanied by his faithful manservant Sancho Panza, what follows are countless variations on this theme. Vladimir Nabokov, the author of Lolita and an inimitable literary critic, once sat down and tallied up the result of each adventure. He realized they resembled a tennis match: “6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 5-7. But the fifth set will never be played. Death cancels the match.” In between his own adventures, Quixana/Quixote hears the life stories of characters from all walks of life—noblemen, knights, poets, priests, traders, barbers, muleteers, scullions and convicts. Continuing the digressive pattern, Cervantes includes prologues to both volumes in his own voice, addressing the reader as well as another unnamed friend. Dialoguing with this ghost Cervantes, our author wonders how to tell this tale, the “true history” of Don Quixote. There had never been anything like this. Nothing with such a variety of incident, such a dizzying menagerie of overlapping voices, so many layers of reality between the reader and the fictive world. As many critics have pointed out—Nabokov and Kafka among them—Cervantes himself is a weak and piddling character in the book, dwarfed immeasurably by Don Quixote, his great creation. One’s mind, of course, turns to Shakespeare, who pales Dale Wasserman next to his own characters such as Falstaff and Hamlet.

22 THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE LOCAL STUDENT ANGEL RODRIGUEZ WINS NATIONAL SONGWRITING COMPETITION

By ANYA RUDNICK, Director of Education and Outreach

This past spring, The 5th Avenue Theatre and the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture were invited to join the National Endowment for the Arts—with additional support from Playbill, Inc—to bring the Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge to Seattle and King County. This was the pilot year of the national initiative with students from Seattle/ King County, Dallas, and Minneapolis/St. Paul invited to submit original musical theater songs for the Challenge. Finalists from each area were selected to travel to New York for a weekend in July to participate in workshops and sessions with professional songwriters. After two days of intensive work sessions, the three finalists performed their songs for a panel of judges. We are thrilled to share that Angel Rodriguez, a student from Renton, was awarded the first prize for his original song, “Bleeding.” Angel won a $5,000 scholarship provided by the National Music Publishers’ Association Supporting Our Next Generation of Songwriters (S.O.N.G.) Foundation and will have his song published by Sony/ATV. Student Angel Rodriguez works with Mentor Here are some of Angel’s impressions about participating César Alvarez on his song Bleeding. in the Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge and his PHOTO BY JOSEPH MARZULLO FOR PLAYBILL, INC. experiences in New York: “I first got into songwriting when I was about nine. My brother myself in what the character is going through. I write off of my was learning the guitar, so he started teaching me. Then I just feelings, but then I put myself in the character’s shoes—and started learning by myself and writing songs from there— then just build off of that.” and just kept going. In most of the songs I [write], I picture “The song that I wrote is ‘Bleeding.’ It’s about being in a situation where you feel like you’ve fallen down and you don’t know if you’ll be able to get back up. I was in a situation like that. […] Literally I felt like I was bleeding out.”

“Originally I was not going to enter [the competition]. I was like, ‘I’m not gonna win. I’m not gonna be a finalist. I’m not gonna have time. I don’t even know if this song’s good enough.’ But [a friend] said, ‘Hey, just do it. You’re feeling the song. Just go with it. Enter!’ The trip to New York was an amazing experience. We talked to songwriters and music directors in the music business and had mentors to help us with our songs for the final competition. We also went out and experienced New York. I went to Times Square, Central Park, Sardi’s, the Empire State Building. We also went to see a Broadway show, The Color Purple, and met with [Director] Chelsea Mayo (Runner Up), Jake Berglove (Runner Up), Angel John Doyle and some of the cast. I am grateful and happy to Rodriguez (National Champion) and NEA Chairman Jane Chu pose for a picture during the final competition for The Musical have been able to represent Seattle in this competition.” Theater Songwriting Challenge for High School Students.
