Stage West is a proud member of The Live Theatre League of Tarrant County (livetheatreleague.org) ABOUT THE SHOW Arthur Schopenhauer defined The Sublime this way: “If we are very lucky, we may stumble into an experience so vast and terrible, it threatens to overwhelm the individual or reduce our existence on this planet to a mere speck. Desert landscapes, earthquakes, violent ocean storms, the starry night sky, are some examples of The Sublime.” Schopenhauer listed five levels of The Sublime: • Level One: Weakest Feeling of Sublime – Light reflected off stones. (Pleasure from beholding objects objects devoid of life) • Level Two: Weaker Feeling of Sublime – Endless desert with no movement. (Pleasure from seeing objects that could not sustain the life of the observer) • Level Three: Sublime – Turbulent Nature. (Pleasure from perceiving objects that threaten to hurt or destroy observer) • Level Four: Full Feeling of Sublime – Overpowering turbulent Nature. (Pleasure from beholding very violent, destructive objects) • Level Five: Fullest Feeling of Sublime – Immensity of Universe's extent or duration. (Pleasure from knowledge of observer's nothingness and oneness with Nature) ABOUT THE PRODUCTION STAFF KARA-LYNN VAENI (Director) is thrilled to return to Stage West. The last play she directed pre-Covid was The Children for Stage West, and this is the first play she has directed since Covid began, and she is really grateful to SW for their intense commitment to the arts and artists.

May 20, 2019- PROFILE THEATRE’S next season will fea- ture three of America’s most widely celebrated contemporary playwrights: Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (b. 1984), Lynn Nottage (b. 1964), and Paula Vogel (b. 1951). Profile Theatre is one of only three theaters in the country to dedicate their season to an in-depth exploration of a playwright’s vision, using that unique vision as a lens to broaden perspectives on our shared world. Now, in an innovation that deploys Pro- file’s mission to unique effect, we present Generations: two seasons of plays from three of America’s most beloved playwrights whose plays dramatize life, labor and death in the United States and beyond from three different generational vantage points. These visionaries are all connected through the prizes and programs that have shaped them. A gifted playwright, Vogel mentored a generation of playwrights, including Lynn Nottage, who studied with Vogel at Brown. Jacobs-Jenkins was the Paula Vogel Playwright-in-Residence at the Vineyard Theatre, and was on the Su- san Smith Blackburn committee that awarded the prize to Nottage for Sweat. All Pulitzer Prize nominated (or winning), all heralded for the beauty of their writing, their innovative theatricality and deep humanity, Vogel, Nottage and Jacobs-Jenkins’ work stands as a testament to the brilliance of American theatre.

In this melodrama, set on a plantation in Louisiana, audiences witness the drama of Zoe Peyton, a mixed-race white-appearing heroine who learns after the sudden death of her owner/father, that she is relegated to the condition of "chattel property" belonging to the estate, since she was born of a mother who had herself been enslaved.2 Rather than submit to a new master, having been sold at auction, Zoe poisons herself and dies, graphically, on stage.
