For me, this season is the fulfillment of several long- held dreams. Pirandello has been a favorite since I was very young, when I found that his family and mine came from the same side of Sicily. Playwright Matt Foss and I worked in the WHAT Lab to create our own fresh adapta- tion of Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, anchoring the play in the soil of Pirandello’s island. WHAT has never produced a Tennessee Williams play, though Williams worked and played in nearby Provincetown. I’m so pleased that our production of a Williams classic, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, will run for three weeks at WHAT and then transfer to the Tennessee Williams Festival in Provincetown. It is becoming rare that a professional theater can feature unknown playwrights. I’m thrilled that we will celebrate the playwright Marina Keegan by opening our season with her play, Utility Monster. And, it hardly gets better than being able to bring one of my oldest and dearest friends to the WHAT stage – an actor who happens to be a stage, film and television star. You’ll see Mark Linn-Baker in One Slight Hitch, an outrageously Dan Lombardo (Rick Grossman photo) funny play by his dear friend, Lewis Black.

Greetings dear friends,

NEWCOMB Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater was born out of the urge to voice the powerful message that live theater can HOLLOW GALLERY deliver. Now in our 29th season, we strive and struggle to not only keep that core value alive, but to provide the Outer Cape with a wide range and depth of cultural experiences that will enrich our beloved community. With the Julie

JEFF Harris Stage and the WHAT for Kids tent as our home, we seek to offer a hand to those individuals and organizations SODERBERGH who might not have venues such as these from which to speak. BURDICK GALLERY Over the past year we have embraced partnerships with SPAT, Outer Cape Health Services, 350 degrees.org, Cape Cod Institute, Harwich Junior Theatre (who can forget the Cuban chorus experience in 2012?), Cape Cod _ _ Chamber Music Festival, and the Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Conversations with other _ _ _ organizations and individuals continue on a daily basis. We are most grateful. _ _ _ Every potential partner has a different voice, but each has the same purpose: to enhance and educate the public. _ _ _ Each day at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater we find out a little more about ourselves. _ _ _ Your involvement is key to our growth and to the growth and stability of the Outer Cape.

14 what.org Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater 2013-2014 15 Remembering Ellen Grossman Photos by Rick Grossman All of us at WHAT were saddened when we learned that Ellen Grossman passed away on March 31st surrounded by her family in their Brook- line home. Ellen and her husband Rick spent years helping to shape this organization. They devoted count- less hours as board members and volunteers and displayed extraordinary leadership as donors. Theater was a major part of Ellen’s life – as was dance, photography, and American arts and crafts. She knew the power these three art forms had to transform people and affect them personally. Ellen did just that – there is no one who can forget her energy, smarts, kindness and warm and meaningful hugs. She knew it was important to entertain and inspire – and she worked to ensure that fragile or- ganizations like ours had the structural support they needed. We shall all miss her dearly. On behalf of the entire organization, our love and support go to Rick and the Grossman fam- ily – Alexa , Erica, David and Edee. When you experience theatre, dance and music in this venue and venues around the world– think about Ellen’s wonderful smile and how it changed so many people’s lives. Jeffry George Executive Director • • • My first memories of Ellen and Rick when I came to WHAT nine years ago, were of two photographers who, with great warmth and grace, took part in every opening and every celebration at the theater. Their photographs chronicle their passion for WHAT and for life. Ellen brightened every room she entered. She loved actors and everyone who worked at the theater, and we loved her equally. She worked tirelessly on our Board and made immeasurable contributions. We always thought of Ellen as “ours,” but I know she single-handedly kept the Society of Arts and Crafts alive, and was a central figure in the American Crafts Council. Her crafts expertise lead to her famous WHATKnots, the jewelry she sourced for us to sell in our lobby. My fondest memory is of Ellen hosting casts of plays at their beloved house in the woods. After sumptuous food and drink, she got everyone out on the floating dock in the pond. Sun, wonderful stories, warmth, and love. Ellen made life in the theater an uplifting, noble, and joyous thing.

One of the great things about a professional, large theater arts organization like WHAT is the opportunity to provide a top-notch, industry-credentialed (that means these kids can put it on their resumes) educational and training experience for emerging professionals. WHAT employs 10 interns during the production season to work in all areas of the theater. Typically, interns are enrolled in a post-secondary school and range from sophomores to recent graduates. Interns are recruited nationally, but WHAT naturally draws on an applicant pool from the Northeast and particularly from Boston and New York City. Interns receive advanced professional development through seminars facilitated by staff, designers and Intern Ben Doehr, 2012.

WHAT interns receive a hands-on train- ing experience in their chosen field, plus cross-training from production to administration to front-of-house that provides an industry-recognized credential. Additionally, interns are trained to be ambassadors for the theater through regular interaction with patrons and donors during openings, closings and special events. Interns participate in entrance and exit interviews, are required to keep a weekly journal and complete a self-evaluation at the end of their experience. In addition, each is given a written evaluation by the executive director, and starting this year, 6 months after their experience, WHAT will be asking our 2013 interns to complete an alumni It’s never to late to join them! survey to assess and document their continued Interns Ryan Campbell and Carolynn Richer, 2012. education, professional growth and job placement.
