Printed in the U.S.A. LONG WHARF THEATRE | 2018–19 3 from the MANAGING DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Welcome to Paradise Blue ! I hope you enjoy Dominique Morisseau’s beautiful play deftly directed by Awoye Timpo. As you know, ticket sales cover only half of our expenses, and we require contributions for the balance. While we receive significant support from institutions like foundations and corporations, our largest source of fundraising is from donors like you. Therefore, I hope you will consider participating in this year’s “Chair’s Challenge.” Our generous board chair, Laura Pappano, will match all new and increased gifts dollar for dollar, up to $20,000, which are received between now and December 31. You may know that Long Wharf Theatre produces local, world-class theatre. But did you also know that: • We serve over 6,000 students a year through our Student Matinee Series, the August Wilson Monologue Competition, and in-school residencies led by our staff of talented teaching artists. • We are a major force in new play development, investing in writers through commissions, workshops, world premiere productions, and our annual New Works Festival. • Our community engagement programs are nationally recognized for their innovation, including partnerships with the New Haven Free Public Library, The Towers, and Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS). • We are a major economic driver for the region, creating over 250 full-time and part-time jobs each year and generating over $1.6 million in economic impact every year. Yet, our work is not possible without the generosity of people like you, as Long Wharf receives minimal government funding (only 1% of our operating budget). If you have never donated to Long Wharf before, I hope you will consider doing so, or if you have, I hope you’ll consider increasing your contribution. If you have any feedback about tonight’s performance, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you so much for coming, enjoy the show, and have a terrific holiday season.

    Annual Report Fiscal Year 2021 Sara Porkalob in Dragon Mama. Produced by American Repertory Theater in 2019, virtually released in 2020. Photo by Gretjen Helene. 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.

  • James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart, Melissa Leo
    Arsenal Filmverleih präsentiert: James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart, Melissa Leo Willkommen bei den Rileys Ein Film von Jake Scott USA 2010, 110 Min., 1:1,85, Dolby Digital OFFICIAL SELECTION SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 2010 OFFICIAL SELECTION BERLINALE 2010 OFFICIAL SELECTION LOS ANGELES FILM FESTIVAL 2010 Bundesstart: 7. April 2011 PRESSEHEFT Die Geschichte Auf einer Geschäftsreise trifft Doug Riley (James Gandolfini, bekannt aus „Die Sopranos“) in einem Stripclub in New Orleans auf die Ausreißerin Mallory (Kristen Stewart, Star der „Twilight“-Verfilmungen). Doug fühlt sich hingezogen zu der jungen Tänzerin: nicht wegen ihrer professionellen Angebote, sondern weil sie ihn an seine Tochter erinnert, die vor acht Jahren bei einem Unfall ums Leben kam. Ein Verlust, den weder seine Frau Loïs (Melissa Leo, Oscar-nominiert für „The Fighter“) noch er verkraftet haben. Doug nimmt sich auf väterliche Weise der jungen Frau an und beschließt, in New Orleans zu bleiben. Eine Entscheidung, die seine Ehefrau aus ihrer Erstarrung reißt und die Ehe der Rileys durcheinanderwirbelt. Regisseur Jake Scott, der bislang vor allem durch seine Musikvideos für Tori Amos, R.E.M. und U2 sowie durch seinen Film „Plunkett & Mclean“ bekannt wurde, ist der Sohn von Ridley Scott und der Neffe von Tony Scott – beide haben den Independent-Film mitproduziert. Interview mit dem Regisseur Jake Scott Worum geht es in Ihrem Film? Wie kam es zu dem Projekt und wie wurden die Schauspieler ausgesucht? WILLKOMMEN BEI DEN RILEYS ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich durch das zufällige Kennenlernen einer jungen Stripperin endlich seiner Trauer um seine Tochter stellt. Der Film handelt davon, dass man lernen muss, mit den nicht zu steuernden Ereignissen im Leben umzugehen.
