INTELLIGENCE

2016/17 SEASON STORIES THAT

In the midst of change, theater helps us make sense of the world and incites crucial conversations. The stories you see on stage here at Arena cast a spotlight onto the diversity of American experiences and American voices. Our newly announced Power Plays initiative deepens our commitment to stories around politics and power that make us a more well-informed democracy. We invite you to join the conversation by supporting these stories that must be told.

2016/17 SEASON 3 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

Arena Stage is a theater that takes our focus on free speech seriously. Whether on stage, in our audiences or with our students, we actively encourage citizens to speak out freely.

Jacqueline Lawton is not only a playwright, but she is also a committed activist and educator. She is inquisitive, asks the tough questions and is a soldier for equity, diversity and inclusion. We are fortunate to have commissioned her to write this important new play, exploring truth, lies and what happens in between. I am also excited to have director Daniella Topol at Arena Stage who brings a wonderful sensitivity and, yes, intelligence to this production. It is a critical time to consider the motives of those who hold political power, and what an individual can do — or is forced to do — to fight for justice.

Intelligence is the third play to be produced from Arena’s Power Plays commissioning program. This initiative will commission 25 new plays or musicals from 25 writers over the next 10 years. These plays will explore an idea, person or place in America, covering every decade from 1776 to today. Power Plays will span the nation’s history, investigating and illuminating our American character. Already, audiences have seen Lawrence Wright’s Camp David, giving insight into the process behind the Camp David peace accords, and The Originalist by John Strand, which is a story about a conservative Supreme Court Justice, his liberal law clerk and the inner workings of the Supreme Court.

Washington, D.C. has a unique position as a voice on American politics. Local news is national news, and local politics are national politics. Other cities have their unique voices too — these voices are well represented in theater, television and movies, but our city is the place where legislators draft the laws, debate the laws and make the laws. Our city is where major decisions are made, whether by Supreme Court decision, executive order or two-thirds majority. Our city is the capital of our nation, and we take that responsibility with pride, not complacency.

There is no other place in the country where plays like Intelligence could have such an impact, and there is no better time to launch this massive commissioning cycle. Learning and understanding American stories of politics and power over the decades makes us more informed as a democracy and sheds light on how we can come together as a nation to face personal and political adversaries. It is one way to learn, debate and grow as a people. These plays will not fall along party lines — they will challenge all of us, and I am eager to provoke these discussions.

Thank you for you for your hunger for these stories. As a theater focused on free speech and American artists, we look forward to the conversation.

All Best,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

4 2016/17 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

You may be wondering how new work like Intelligence makes it to our stage. One of the ways is by commissioning work from established and emerging playwrights. Commissioned playwrights are as much a part of the Arena tribe as our full-time staff and resident playwrights. It’s a contractual and creative agreement that begins with a conversation about an important story that is necessary to be told. Institutionally we seek artists that align with our mission of presenting work that is as dangerous as it is profound while exploring America’s past, present and future. Once common ground is found, then a contract is signed and the writing begins. The timeline of a commission can vary from six months to six years. Regardless of the wait, it’s thrilling to foster the creation of new work in this way. Jacqueline Lawton’s Intelligence commission was signed in June of 2015.

The development process for commissions can take many forms depending on the stories themselves. Once a first draft is received by Molly and our artistic development department, the process begins. The goal is always to get the script ready for a final draft and rehearsals. Under the supervision of our deputy artistic director, Seema Sueko, a plan is put in place and can include an early pairing with a director, recruitment of subject matter experts, full scale readings and many consultations with our senior dramaturg, Jocelyn Clarke. Intelligence had full readings in February and October 2016 and from that detailed work came the frame for the production you’ll see today. In addition to that workshop, the literary fellow has been in rehearsals of Intelligence to track any changes in the script. Dion Boucicault, the great Irish dramatist, said, “plays are not written, they are re-written.” In this way commissions are more than a contractual agreement. They are an investment in the artistic life of the piece.

Arena’s relationship with a new play can endure beyond our first production. Many of our commissions or original production agreements include ongoing participation, like a continuing right to produce; or if commercially produced, a top line royalty/profit share (paid by the producer) and a share of subsidiary rights from a sale to other media; or stock and amateur rights. Current Broadway standout Dear Evan Hansen began its journey here at Arena, and because of our initial investment of Arena resources in the production, we will continue to financially benefit from its Broadway success. Another example would be John Strand’s The Originalist. This show also began at Arena and is slated to receive several subsequent productions nationwide. The show will bear Arena’s name in all future productions linking its success with the work done at Arena. The commitment to commission or do the original production comes with a title page credit for similar partnerships.

Of course none of this would be possible without the audience we have at Arena Stage. You are always up for the artistic risk required to engage with new work and your embrace is why we have the confidence to commission new plays. I hope you enjoyIntelligence. It has been developed with you in mind.

All Best,

Edgar Dobie, Executive Director

Intelligence: A Clarion Call By Jacqueline E. Lawton “But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is ... to tell the truth.”

Howard Zinn, Marx in Soho: A Play on History Tell the truth.

I write out of a deep frustration for the lack of strong, complex and engaging roles for women in the American theater.

In theater, representation matters. The way we write women and people of color impacts how women and people of color are perceived in everyday life. When Artistic Director Molly Smith asked me to write a play for Arena Stage’s Power Play initiative, I wanted to write about a woman whose experience had transformed our political landscape. With Intelligence, I am writing about the role of women in the CIA. At the center of the play is a woman, a covert intelligence officer, who is fighting to ensure the national security of the United States.

Tell the truth.

I write to bear witness.

In theater, we are able to explore the powerful, strange, terrifying, curious and beautiful human experience. After 9/11 and in the two years leading up to the war in Iraq, I began to write with a deeper sense of civic duty and an increasing interest in the unfolding narrative of the United States. With Intelligence, I turn my focus to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the lies that led to that invasion and the act of retaliation that occurred when the truth was revealed. At the center of the play is a woman, a wife and mother, who is fighting for freedom and justice.

Tell the truth.

I write to have a voice and advocate for change.

In theater, we gather communities, cultivate empathy and raise awareness around issues that impact our lives. We are at a pivotal moment in the history of this nation. With Intelligence, I’ve written a play that is as much a political thriller as it is a clarion call for citizens to remain actively involved in ensuring the principles of democracy. At the center of the play is a woman, Join us for a post-show a citizen, who finds the courage to speak truth conversation with the artists on: to power and demands that our political leaders held accountable for their actions. March 14 at 7:30 p.m. March 15 at 12:00 p.m. Never before has this message been more March 28 at 12:00 p.m. urgent than right now and there is no better March 29 at 12:00 p.m. place for this play to be seen than at Arena March 30 at 8:00 p.m. Stage, in the heart of the nation’s capital.
