LONG WHARF THEATRE | 2018–19 3

from the MANAGING DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

Welcome to The Roommate, the first show of our 2018 – 2019 season!

Many of us, perhaps all of us, have been in a place in life where we have reached a point of stasis. Maybe we look backwards more than we look forward, maybe we think that our greatest days are behind us, and maybe our emotional baseline is one of ennui or melancholy. We are “stuck in a rut,” going through the routine, but not feeling any new energy or optimism. Then, someone comes into your life to shake up your world. Perhaps that person is a love interest, but often it is someone you may not have much in common with on the surface, but shares the same inner world.

One of my grandmothers comes to mind, and in her case, it was also a roommate who changed her. She had a number of health problems, and my 90-year-old grandfather took care of her. We all thought that she would pass away first, but then my grandfather was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and died very quickly after its discovery. While she had her family, my grandmother had suddenly lost her life partner of nearly 65 years. In addition, since she could not live on her own, she moved from her hometown, where she had essentially been all of her life, to an assisted living facility closer to us but about an hour away from her community. You can imagine the complex range of emotions which she experienced.

To top it all off, the facility did not have any single rooms available at first, so she was stuck with a roommate. She was a young woman from New Rochelle who was there temporarily due to serious, multiple fractures in her leg. My grandmother was frustrated to lose privacy, especially to a stranger. At first, she refused to speak to her roommate at all. Well, you know the old saying that you should not discuss politics and religion with people you do not know. That was not my grandmother. However, she learned that when she started to have conversations with her roommate, the two of them started to realize how much they had in common. Both of them were devoted to their houses of worship, both of them were close with their families, and both of them were trying to lead lives that might make the world a better place. Eventually, the roommate was discharged, but she visited her all of the time, took her out for walks, and became one of the most important people in my grandmother’s life in her final two years.

Jen Silverman captures a situation like this so delightfully and beautifully. She is one of the most exciting people writing for the American stage (those of you who attend our New Works Festival may remember her All the Roads Home, the story of three generations of women told with music). We are so excited to be producing her on our Mainstage for the first time, and we hope that you enjoy it. If you have any comments or feedback about tonight’s performance, please email me at [email protected]. I always respond!

Thank you for coming and spending your time here with us. I hope you have a great time.

All my best,

Josh

LONG WHARF THEATRE history Long Wharf Theatre was founded in 1965 by Jon Jory and Harlan Kleiman and is currently led by Managing Director Joshua Borenstein. Long Wharf Theatre is an organization of international renown and has been a leader in American theatre, producing fresh and imaginative revivals of classic and modern plays, rediscoveries of neglected works and a variety of world and American premieres. Under the artistic leadership of Arvin Brown for over 30 years, Long Wharf Theatre established itself as an important force in the regional theatre movement. Following Brown’s leadership, Doug Hughes served as Artistic Director for four seasons. Throughout its history, Long Wharf Theatre has created a unique home in New Haven for theatre artists from around the world, resulting in the transfer of over 30 productions to Broadway or Off-Broadway, including Napoli, Brooklyn, Satchmo at the Waldorf, My Name is Asher Lev, The Glass Menagerie, Durango, BFE, Sixteen Wounded, Wit (Pulitzer Prize), Hughie, American Buffalo, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Quartermaine’s Terms (Obie Award/Best Play), The Gin Game (Pulitzer Prize), The Shadow Box (Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award/Best Play), The Changing Room, The Contractor (NY Drama Critics Circle/Best Play), and Streamers, among many others now in the American Theatre canon. In 1978, Long Wharf Theatre was honored with a Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. Currently in its 54th season, Long Wharf Theatre produces an annual season of six plays on its two stages, along with children’s programming, new play workshops and a variety of special events.
