3 Letter from the Chairman

I am very proud to report that, despite one of the most challenging times in our country’s history, Roundabout successfully continued to pursue its mission during the 2008–2009 season by producing vibrant theatrical works on our stages seen by hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers—including 42,000 subscribers—and employing hundreds of theatre artists and technicians in the process.

We began the year projecting a significant operating deficit, but through the extraordinary efforts of the company’s leadership and staff, we ended the year with a balanced budget. This is all the more remarkable given the difficult financial climate. It didn’t come without sacrifices as we made some difficult decisions: staff layoffs, cuts to expense lines, and salary reductions for our top management. Our goal in streamlining our already-lean administrative expenses was to ensure that our focus remained where we all agreed it should remain: the quality and diversity of work on our stages. We are immensely grateful to the amazing staff of Roundabout for making this possible.

In fact, it was this work that had the biggest impact in closing our projected deficit. Our nine productions on four stages represented both a wide range of theatrical styles and Roundabout artists working at the highest caliber. By producing great work that audiences wanted to see, we were able to significantly exceed our budget projections for single-ticket sales and balance our budget.

At the same time, we remained committed to initiatives that give back to the community at large. In spite of cuts in funding to our education and outreach programs, we continued work in the public schools to affect the quality and learning of the traditional curriculum by incorporating theatre techniques into classroom teaching. We were able reach over 5,300 public high school students and 600 teachers throughout the five boroughs. We decided that affordable tickets were needed now more than ever by the theatergoing public, and we were pleased to provide over 18,000 tickets to our award-winning work at prices as low as $10, or in the case of some of our education programs, free of charge.

Because of the combined success of this year’s efforts we will begin our 44th season in a much stronger place than we originally projected. I would like to thank all of you for making this possible: our loyal subscribers, our generous donors, our dedicated Leadership Council, our incredible staff, our supremely talented artists, and, of course, my fellow Board members. It was your support in this difficult year that allowed our work at Roundabout to continue. We hope we can count on your support as our artists work to find new ways to engage and delight you for years to come.

Thomas E. Tuft chairman of the board

4 back to contents Letter from the Artistic Director

This was a season of soul-searching at Roundabout, although I hope you didn’t realize it. Hit with the worst economic downturn in decades, the entire Board and staff of Roundabout took the opportunity to look inward and question not only how we did business but also why we did it. Meanwhile, we worked diligently to make sure that the only thing our artists, audiences and donors experienced was the highest quality of theatrical work.

One thing we discussed intensely was the quantity of work that appears on our stages. With nine productions, it was natural to question whether we could cut expenses by reducing the number of shows we produce. Other not-for-profit cultural institutions had announced that they were reducing their number of productions; should Roundabout follow suit? We decided decisively that this was not a path Roundabout wanted to go down. Quite simply, we felt an obligation as one of the largest cultural institutions in New York to maintain the quality of work we produce. Our mission is to support theatre artists at all stages of their careers by ensuring they have a voice on our stages. To provide artists with less opportunities to work, and our audiences less opportunities to experience that work, would be defeating the very reasons we exist.

We also looked at how we could make our theatre even more accessible to audiences. We expanded Access Roundabout, our program to increase the number of younger and underserved audience members at our shows through a wide range of discount ticket initiatives. Perhaps the most gratifying production of our season was the first Broadway revival of Waiting for Godot which broke box office records for Roundabout, becoming our highest grossing play during its regular subscription run. The fact that audiences responded so enthusiastically to a very difficult play that questioned the very fabric of human existence truly reaffirmed the value of classic theatre.

Beyond any success or shortfall in any given season lies our commitment to providing a theatrical home where top theatre artists have the freedom to take creative risks. This season, we gave Frank Langella, so often cast as compelling villains from Dracula to Nixon, a chance to try on sainthood as he brought Sir Thomas More to new life in a vibrant production of A Man for All Seasons at the American Airlines Theatre. Director Scott Ellis, the pioneer of our musical theatre program, got down and dirty in the physically and emotionally harrowing drama Streamers by David Rabe at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre/Laura Pels Theatre. Richard Greenberg created a new book for Rodgers and Hart’s musical Pal Joey, brought to vivid life by Joe Mantello and a stellar design team at Studio 54, featuring Stockard Channing and Martha Plimpton. And those are only three of our nine productions.

In the following pages, you’ll read about the full range of work that the gifted artists of Roundabout contributed to this exciting theatrical year. I’m so grateful for the incredible support of our Board, Leadership Council, donors, subscribers, and staff that made this work possible.

Todd Haimes artistic Director

Each season, the productions that appear on the stages of Roundabout Theatre Company reflect years of work behind the scenes. Artistic Director Todd Haimes actively seeks to pair each play or musical with just the right director, actors and designers with the goal of giving that property the best chance of success. Often that process takes time and patience as schedules are cleared, rights are secured and the appropriate theatre becomes available. Because each production is on its own unique timetable, no season is planned in advance with a set theme beyond wanting to provide a rich mix of work for Roundabout audiences: play and musicals, revivals and new works, comedies and dramas.

Yet sometimes, in retrospect, a pattern emerges, a thread that ties together all the works that appear within a season. That is especially true of the productions within Roundabout’s 2008–09 season. It was a year of introspection as history caused each of us to examine his or her relationship to our government, our work, our financial resources, and ourselves. Likewise, the heroes (or anti- heroes) of this season’s productions could be seen as struggling to figure out who they are and what they stand for. In following these journeys, we often learned more about ourselves as our experiences were refracted through the dual prisms of great works of theatre and current events.

EVERYDAY SAINTS and provocative, not the saint he was later anointed. “The trap,” recalls Langella, “is if you just play a man who from the first The season began with a real-life theatrical study in moral seconds is on a high plain. Instead, you must play a man who’s introspection: Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons at the genuinely frightened of losing his life and genuinely trying to American Airlines Theatre.

More, In Distracted at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for a devout Catholic, refuses to neither approve nor disapprove Theatre/Laura Pels Theatre, playwright Lisa Loomer explored a of the King’s actions, choosing to remain silent…a silence that much more contemporary real-life problem: a mother coming costs him his life. Brought to life by Broadway legend Frank to terms with her son’s diagnosis of ADHD (Attention Deficit Langella in Doug Hughes’ moving production, More was witty Hyperactivity Disorder). Desperate for a solution, the mother, played beautifully by Cynthia Nixon, must look deep in herself and decide what she’s willing—and unwilling—to put her son through to make him “normal.” “The play is basically the mother’s journey,” explains Loomer. “She’s the one who does the changing in this play, not the child. She goes from someone who believes that if you go to the right experts you can fix things. But this may not be something she can fix or needs to be fixed. She learns to think less in terms of the ‘problem’ child and be more present with the child, with who he is.” This contemporary play had a huge impact on audiences, many of whom stayed to engage in post-show discussions with Loomer and experts in the field of child development, eager to share their own experiences.

Down in the Black Box Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, two artists new to Roundabout collaborated on a new play that was also ripped from contemporary headlines: The Language of Trees. For the second Roundabout Underground production, twenty-four-year-old playwright Steven Levenson and Obie Award-winning director Alex Timbers collaborated on this boldly theatrical play dealing

The first example came to Studio 54 in the form of Roundabout’s revival of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart’s musical Pal Joey. Based on John O’Hara’s short stories, Pal Joey introduced the anti-hero to the Broadway musical by centering around a cad named Joey who uses anyone in his path to realize his dream of owning his own nightclub. “I don’t think audiences quite knew what to make of it when it premiered in 1940,” reflects Haimes. “Here’s this musical comedy that centers around someone who has many unsavory qualities. This was years before Carousel tackled similar territory in a very dramatic way, so audiences were a bit unprepared.”

Henrik Ibsen created one of the most brash anti-heroes in theatre history in Hedda Gabler, which is what makes the titular character such an enticing role for actresses. At the American Airlines Theatre, Mary-Louise Parker made her Roundabout debut in a vividly reimagined Hedda Gabler. In the play, Hedda is icy and often openly cruel, at one point encouraging her former lover to kill himself. Working from a new adaptation by Christopher Shinn of Ibsen’s original text, director Ian Rickson and Parker created a Hedda for the 21st century: a controversial

I was doing a dissertation on The Misanthrope, and it just occurred to me at that particular point in history, which was 1968, where all the universities were exploding all over Europe, that somebody who’s the opposite of The Misanthrope [who openly criticizes everyone] would be just as annoying in that sort of radical climate.” This satire Peter Stormare and Mary-Louise Parker in Hedda Gabler emerges as a critque of nice-guy professor (played by Matthew Broderick) who, in refusing to succumb to his colleagues’ excessively critical ways, winds up destroying his own credibility. woman caught in a fever dream of events unspooling out of her control. “We had the same idea,” says Parker of the THE BIG QUESTIONS collaboration. “We wanted to do something that felt new and The season’s biggest hit was also the most surprising: the first viscerally exciting and that felt true to what Ibsen wrote.

Dynamically staged by Roundabout’s Glover, also directed the first London revival back in 1964 with Associate Artistic Director Scott Ellis and memorably performed Beckett’s input. “I think the play has changed for the world,” by his 10-man cast, this drama became relevant all over again reflects Page, “In terms of the idea of a godless universe, that to our country currently at war as these soldiers adjust to life in there’s nothing beyond death.

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 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 2008–09 season.

Roundabout’s education programs address today’s need for young people to develop skills in critical thinking, public speaking, teamwork, and problem-solving. Through a range of programming, Education @ Roundabout reached over 5,300 students and 600 teachers during the 2008–09 school year.

Theatre Access Through Theatre Access, we provide student groups from throughout the tri-state area with free and discounted matinee tickets to our productions. To prepare students for a trip to the theatre, teachers receive lesson plans and are invited to participate in professional development workshops. All-student matinees include post-show talk-backs with actors and creative teams. During the 2008–09 school year, we provided 5,524 free or discounted tickets to students, conducted 90 artist sessions serving 2,238 students in preparation for their attendance at productions, and held 8 post-show talkbacks with Roundabout actors and creative teams.

Through both classroom partnerships and more intensive school-wide partnerships, we work to customize these models to the teachers’ and schools’ needs. During the 2008–09 school year, we provided 171 residencies to 2,991 students through our Perspectives, Page to Stage, Curriculum Connections, and Producing Partners curriculum models, including Bill Irwin leads Bronx Theatre High School student Danny Astacio in a 65 specially-designed residencies clowning master class

Professional Development Recognizing that the key to successful learning begins with the teacher, we offer a variety of Professional Development workshops and one-on-one mentorships to help teachers use theatre as a tool for learning. Our unique Theatrical Teaching Framework—which utilizes basic theatrical elements such as theme, plot, spectacle and character and establishes parallels to educational components such as academic content, lesson plan, structure, classroom setting and teaching demeanor—serves as the basis for all of our professional development work. During the 2008–09 school year, we provided 2,449 hours of professional development sessions for 273 NYC public school teachers and a four- day intensive Theatrical Teaching Institute for 40 classroom Teachers participate in Roundabout’s annual four-day Theatrical teachers and teaching artists.

Classic songs, glittery stars and the swankiest crowd in town…all of this could be found on Monday, April 6, 2009 at Roundabout’s annual Spring Gala: Take Me Back to Manhattan. It was an unforgettable night that celebrated the Golden Age of New York City with Roseland Ballroom transformed into an elegant nightclub circa 1940. The Jason Robards Award for Excellence in Theatre was presented to Douglas Durst and The Durst Organization, and Bank of America. These two companies Board member and Jason Robards Award for Excellence in Theatre Recipient Douglas have given Roundabout the stewardship of Durst with daughter Anita the newly rebuilt Henry Miller’s Theatre in the new Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park, bringing this Golden Age theatre back to Broadway. Audra McDonald performs “Tess’s Nathan Lane hosted the festivities with an Torch Song” audience that included over 450 Roundabout supporters alongside many favorite artists: Philip Bosco, Matthew Broderick, Margaret Colin, John Glover, Doug Hughes, Bill Irwin, Eddie Izzard, Stephen Karam, Cherry Jones, Robert Longbottom, Jason Moore, Cynthia Nixon, David Hyde Pierce, Lily Rabe, Richard Thomas, Steven Weber, Julie White and Maury Yeston. The highlight of the evening was an original musical Gala director and choreographer Kathleen revue directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall with gala chair Lois Robbins-Zaro Marshall (Tony Award® winner for The Pajama Game) featuring timeless music by composers like Rodgers, Ellington and Gershwin performed by top Broadway stars: Mario Cantone, Edie Falco, Boyd Gaines, Cheyenne Jackson, Jane Krakowski, Audra McDonald, Kelli O’Hara, Martha Plimpton and Brooke Shields. The evening also featured a jazz-singing quartet made up of Peter Benson, Jeff Kready, Laura Osnes and Richard Roland, along with the incredible swing dancing of Nick Adams, Shawn Emamjomeh, Lisa Gajda and Lorin Latarro. Through the extraordinary work of Gala Chair Lois Robbins, Roundabout’s Board of Directors and Leadership Council, the Cherry Jones, Bank of America’s Rena DeSisto, event netted over $1.2 million for Roundabout’s Jane Krakowski wonders “Why Don’t and David Hyde Pierce Musical Theatre Fund.

Leading the cast was real-life mother and daughter Vanessa Redgrave and Director Scott Ellis with Natasha Richardson Natasha Richardson playing Madame Armfeldt and her daughter Desirée, whose country estate becomes home to a vivid cast of characters over the course of a midsummer’s weekend. The stellar cast also included Christine Baranski, Victor Garber, Kendra Kassebaum, Marc Kudisch, Steven Pasquale and Jill Paice. Directed by Scott Ellis with Paul Gemignani leading a 27-piece orchestra, the event was underwritten by Ted and Mary Jo Shen and Michael Cohen and drew stars such as Alec Baldwin, Matthew Broderick, Marvin Hamlisch, Nathan Lane, Liam Neeson, Bernadette Peters, and Anna Wintour to the performance and an exclusive after-party, netting over $350,000 for Roundabout’s Musical Theatre Fund.

24 back to contents Natasha Richardson 1963–2009

Natasha Richardson was one of the rare actresses I’ve had the pleasure to work with who constantly reveled in setting the bar ever-higher for herself. We first met when she approached me with her idea of reviving a dark, difficult play by Eugene O’Neill called Anna Christie. While it had won the Pulitzer Prize in 1922, it had been eclipsed by O’Neill’s later work, yet Natasha was drawn to the challenge of playing a former prostitute who falls in love. She had a clear vision of the play and even had a co- star in mind: Liam Neeson. Opening in January 1993 soon after we moved into our first Broadway home, Anna Christie was a runaway hit and a landmark production in our history. It won Tony Award nominations for both Natasha and Liam and won the award for Best Play Revival, putting Roundabout decisively on the Broadway map. Meanwhile, Natasha and Liam fell in love over the course of the show, and they eventually married and had two children.

Four years later, Roundabout was in the midst of the rather arduous task of bringing Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall’s new, environmental staging of John Kander, Fred Ebb and Joe Masteroff’s brilliant musical Cabaret to Broadway. Alan Cumming, an actor unknown to U.S. audiences, was on board to reprise his critically-acclaimed turn as the Emcee from the Donmar Warehouse production in London. But who could erase the memory of Liza Minnelli, who was so closely identified with her Oscar-winning film performance as Sally Bowles? Natasha was eager for the challenge. Watching her build her performance over the weeks of rehearsals and previews will always be one of the highlights of my career. A self-professed non-singer, she should have been totally wrong for the role; instead, she brought out a set of contradictions in Sally and mined them for maximum dramatic effect. Her Sally was needy and resilient, deluded and mesmerizing. She went on to win the Tony Award for her performance, and Cabaret ran for over six years, another major landmark for Roundabout.

Natasha kept giving memorable performances at Roundabout: her tortured Blanche du Bois in A Streetcar Named Desire (a dream role for her that I was so happy to bring to fruition) and her funny and wise portrayal of Desirée Armfeldt in the 2009 concert reading of A Little Night Music which was, tragically, her last stage appearance. When I think of Natasha—which is often—it’s hard for me not to think of all the roles that will now go unplayed by her. But Natasha was more than an actress and more than a friend to Roundabout, so generous with her time to the theatre; she was also a true friend to me during some of my most trying times and I’ll forever treasure her friendship. It is with such deep sadness that I say goodbye to one of the shining lights of the stage.
