VILLAGE THEATRE’S 2018–2019 SEASON THE NOTEWORTHY LIFE MATILDA I DO! I DO! THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE MILLION DOLLAR OF HOWARD BARNES November 8, 2018 – January 17 – DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME QUARTET September 13 – November 18, 2018 February 3, 2019 March 24, 2019 March 14 – May 19, 2019 May 9 – July 28, 2019 Director’s Note Cast My process for approaching a new Agnes ................................................................................................................................................Kendra Kassebaum* project is always the same. I get the Michael .......................................................................................................................................................... Peter Saide* script or screenplay as soon as I can and I let it sit on my desk until I UNDERSTUDIES know I can read through it nonstop Agnes ........................................................................................................................................................Jessica Skerritt* Michael ................................................................................................................................................Kevin Vortmann* without interruptions for the first, and sometimes the last, time. I turn off my phone, line up a couple of mechanical #2’s and turn the page. If something Orchestra seems confusing, I circle it and move on. I don’t pause to figure it out because Conductor .................................................................................................................................................Bruce Monroe I know the audience isn’t going to get Keyboard 1 ............................................................................................................................................Michael Matlock to take that pause either. I ignore the Keyboard 2 ................................................................................................................................................Julia Thornton Violin ....................................................................................................................................................... Winnie Dungey “Stage directions” in order to align Cello ..............................................................................................................................Grant Olson or Rachael Beaver myself with the same creative freedom Bass .................................................................................................................................................................. Chris Jones afforded the original director, but I don’t Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet, Soprano Sax ....................................................................Dane Andersen or Dewey Marler erase them either. For me, theatre is a Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet ................................................................................Koryn Orcutt or Bruce Carpenter sacred tradition of storytelling that is Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Bari Sax ....................................................................... Derek Smith or Jay Easton meant to be passed on. I mark what I Trumpet .......................................................................................................................................................... Greg Lyons love, and what I don’t love, and I listen French Horn .............................................................................................................................................David McBride to my gut. I also listen to what my body Trombone ...................................................................................................................... Keith Winkle or Rebecca Ford tells me. Am I emotional? Confused? Percussion ....................................................................................................................................................Alec Wilmart Bored? When I got the script for I Do! I Do! I turned the page and read, “This story Musical Numbers covers 50 years of marriage of Michael There will be a 15-minute intermission between acts. and Agnes beginning in 1898” . and I was hooked. The pages turned themselves and I went through two ACT I ACT II pencils. I was delighted to see how “All the Dearly Beloved” “Where Are the Snows” relatable these themes are even now “Together Forever” “When the Kids Get Married” and how beautiful music will always “I Do! I Do!” “The Father of the Bride” be beautiful music. I wondered if the “Good Night” “What Is a Woman” incredible director/choreographer Gower “I Love My Wife” “Someone Needs Me” Champion had the same reaction when “Something Has Happened” “Roll up the Ribbons” “My Cup Runneth Over” “This House” he read it back in 1965 and opened it “Love Isn’t Everything” on Broadway in 1966. I Do! I Do! is an “Nobody’s Perfect” inviting reminder that although some “A Well Known Fact” things change, good and bad, some “Flaming Agnes” things stay the same – and some things, “The Honeymoon Is Over” good and bad, will always get you right in the gut! —Michael Arnold Crew Master Stage Carpenter (Issaquah) ....................................................................................................
