2019/20 SEASON 5

ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

Women have never been strangers to politics. It has been almost a hundred years since women were granted the vote in 1920, but now there are more women in Congress than ever before. Along the way, there have been several notable female politicians and one of the greats was Texas Governor . This is the best time in my life to be making theater — people are politically alive in ways I have never before seen. With the #MeToo Movement and the last election, women are raising their voices and making sure they are heard and felt through their activism. Politicians like Ann Richards paved the way for today’s burst of women in Congress. She never held back her opinions, she was fierce and formidable; her strength as a politician was in being courageous by taking on big ideas and fighting for the rights of the people. Only unusual people can truly speak their minds in public — Ann Richards was one of these real people. It’s fascinating to look back and realize that many of the early women in Congress first got there by association with their husbands — either filling a term or continuing their husband’s work in the same place. Of course they already had their own unique ideas and opinions, but they weren’t taken seriously unless it was in association with their husbands or fathers. Today, women are elected because of who they are, not because of who their husbands or fathers were. Arena Stage was founded by a formidable woman, , 70 years ago. She founded the theater in partnership with her husband Tom Fichandler and theater colleague Edward Mangum. Is there a pattern here? It was Zelda’s artistic vision that made Arena a groundbreaking leader in the American theater community. I’m proud to have been here myself, now 22 years, and prouder still that more women are becoming artistic directors across the country than ever before. From Maria Manuela Goyanes at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company to Hana S. Sharif at Repertory Theatre of St. Louis to Nataki Garrett at Oregon Shakespeare Festival to Pam MacKinnon at American Conservatory Theater to Stephanie Ybarra at Baltimore Center Stage, women are moving into leadership positions at the greatest rate I’ve ever seen. It’s really about a multiplicity of voices — if we don’t have representatives from more women in positions of power where they can openly share ideas, challenge the status quo and push for change, we will never be able to be the country that we strive to be. Arena has a history of producing plays about great Texas women. Many of you will recall in Red Hot Patriot, bringing us the sharp of journalist . A fun connection between today’s production, Ann, and recalling Red Hot Patriot is their candid and forthright way of speaking. No kid gloves here! Is it because they were both from Texas? Is it because they were both women? Hard to say. Nonetheless, I’m thankful for them and thankful for their legacy of truth-telling. May we continue to be influenced by these brilliant women!

Ann Richards was known for her feisty wit and ambitious political activism. How does an outspoken liberal democrat become the second female governor of the state of Texas? She was a fighter, and yet there have to be partnerships and a willingness to both battle and compromise with different thinkers. We are pleased tonight to partner with Dallas Theater Center (DTC) on this production. Far from being different thinkers, Arena and DTC are aligned in our commitment to the artform. For DTC, the story of Ann is bringing to life a former governor of their state and possibly, in this divided political time, reminding their audiences of a time where differences of opinions were not about building walls. For Arena’s Washington, D.C. audiences, this may be a story of a political activist willing to speak her mind in order to change the establishment. Arena looks forward to several positive partnerships this season in addition to Ann. August Wilson’s Jitney is a partnership with creative artists and the Broadway producers of the successful 2017 production, reviving the show to share with our audiences as part of the August Wilson Festival. We also return to a partnership with Oregon Shakespeare Festival, bringing their production of Mother Road by Octavio Solis, one of Arena’s commissioned Power Play writers. Arena audiences will remember Equivocation, Sweat and Roe as recent examples of partnerships with OSF. A Thousand Splendid Suns also comes to Arena through a connection with American Conservatory Theater (ACT). The project was developed there and is enjoying a partial re- mounting of their production, giving this touching story continued life in regional theater. We continue the partnership with ACT with a co-production of Toni Stone, a world premiere in New York this summer from the amazing Lydia R. Diamond. This is a moment in time to consider what connects us as individuals even through polarizing political events. Other shows this season will explore these kinds of connections, such as Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise — the story of a courtship through letters during World War II — and Celia and Fidel — a look at the notorious leader of Cuba and how a close personal relationship could have impacted political events. These portray different kinds of partnerships than I’ve discussed above, but they are still relevant to the idea of how people work together and connect, sometimes across long distances or political divides. Back in our own neighborhood, in addition to the mainstage shows, Arena hosts Civil Dialogues, where a panel of people discuss complex topical issues with questions and comments from audience members. The Civil Dialogues are an attempt to get people talking from different viewpoints, so that everyone learns and grows. Arena “partners” directly with our community. We hope that you will take a look at these shows this season, continue to bridge across aisles and share your own outspoken wit in order to build a bright future for our communities. Warmly,

Edgar Dobie Executive Producer President of the Corporation
