Remy Bumppo Presents the Chicago Premiere of Tom Stoppard's Award-Winning Comedy Heroes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Stephanie Kulke / Ph: 773-244-8119 August 31, 2009 [email protected] REMY BUMPPO PRESENTS THE CHICAGO PREMIERE OF TOM STOPPARD’S AWARD-WINNING COMEDY HEROES CHICAGO – Remy Bumppo Theatre Company presents the Chicago premiere of Heroes, winner of the 2006 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, written by Gerard Sibleyras and translated by Tom Stoppard. Heroes runs Oct. 14 through Nov. 29 in the Downstairs Mainstage of the Greenhouse Theater at 2257 N. Lincoln Avenue. Preview performances begin Thursday, Oct. 14 with opening night Sunday, Oct. 18 at 7:00 p.m. The Heroes cast features guest artist Mike Nussbaum making his Remy Bumppo debut, Artistic Associate David Darlow and guest artist Roderick Peeples. Heroes is directed by Remy Bumppo Artistic Director James Bohnen, with set design by Tim Morrison, costume design by Samantha C. Jones, lighting design by Rich Norwood, sound design by Jason Knox and properties design by Nick Heggestad. "I say we go...up that hill, where the poplars are. There where the wind blows...it's not a bad halfway house between Indochina and a picnic." - Heroes It's 1959 and Philippe, Gustave and Henri, three veterans from WWI keep each other company on the back terrace of a retired soldiers' home. Through a series of witty scenes, the men goad one another into new adventures. The men's cantankerous camaraderie becomes strained as they plot an expedition to Indochina, or at least as far as the poplar trees on the distant hill. Heroes is a funny and bittersweet play about memory and "not going gently into that good night." The 2009-2010 Season is made possible by Prince Charitable Trusts, The Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, The Illinois Arts Council and by a City Arts Program 3 grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. -

Founded over forty years ago, Theatre Forward fosters collaboration between America’s prominent regional theatres, connects them to funding and resources on a national level, and advocates for the arts in America. The Theatre Forward cohort comprises a network of 19 leading theatres in as many separate cities, providing an efficient conduit for funders to support important cultural institutions and their communities on a national level. 505 Eighth Avenue, Suite 2504 | New York, NY 10018 | T. 212 750 6895 | www.theatreforward.org TO THEATRE FORWARD FUNDERS At this writing it has been fifteen months since the COVID-19 pandemic forced theatres across the country to close. We imagined it would be a period of weeks, or perhaps a few months, before normal operations would resume. As time passed and the severity of the pandemic became more apparent, theatre executives courageously faced the unavoidable and made difficult but necessary decisions to downsize and, in many cases, to cut salaries for remaining staff, and take programs and fundraising events online. During this dark period, Theatre Forward and its valued partner-donors remained committed to providing funds for general operating support, workforce stabilization, education programs, and the advancement of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within the theatres and their communities. In May of 2020, Theatre Forward was proud to administer a $1 million COVID-19 relief grant program on behalf of the Hearst Foundations. And in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, grants and donations from individuals, corporations and foundations made it possible for Theatre Forward to distribute $870,000 to its member theatres. -

The Little Foxes Program
THE LITTLE FOXES 2016/17 SEASON We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Zelda Fichandler, Arena Stage’s co-founder and first Artistic Director. She was 91. Zelda was an extraordinary woman and brilliant theater professional who transformed American theater with her vision and artistry. From Artistic Director Molly Smith: Zelda is the mother of us all in the American theater. It was her thinking as a seminal artist and architect of the not-for-profit resident theater that imagined resident theaters creating brilliant theater in our own communities. A revolutionary idea. Her thinking and her writing have forged the way we were created and the resident nature of our movement. She is irreplaceable but lives on in every single not-for-profit theater in America — now over 1,500 strong. Her legacy stretches from coast to coast. Arthur Miller wrote in the preface to Arena’s 40th anniversary keepsake book (The Arena Adventure) that Arena had the makings of a national theater for the U.S. Without Zelda and Margo Jones and Nina Vance there would not be this robust American theater landscape. So, it was a vision like Zelda’s that could lead to a time where our vision at Arena for American work can thrive. She had a remarkable openness to new ideas and most of all, to always, always support the artist. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends who knew her best. The Lillian Hellman Festival is dedicated to the memory of Zelda Fichandler. 2 2016/17 SEASON Remembering Zelda Fichandler1924 - 2016 Celebrate the Life of Zelda Fichandler The Words of a Visionary The Molly Smith Study Sunday, October 23 2:00 PM - 7:00 PM Public Memorial Service The Fichandler Monday, October 24 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM VISIT ARENASTAGE.ORG/ZELDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. -
