DIRECTED BY JOSH HECHT PLAYWRIGHT PROFILE LISA KRON

Welcome to the fourth production of our 2018–2019 season! Throughout it all, what makes Lisa’s writing indelibly Lisa’s is her interest in the mix of theatrical forms — from the For our 21st season, we’re doing straight play to solo story-telling something special: an 18-month to ensemble-generated work, “double-season” featuring the sometimes co-existing in the works of Anna Deavere Smith and same piece — her commitment Lisa Kron. Patrons have been on a to politically-engaged work, and year-long journey, seeing the world her conviction that laughter and through the eyes of our Featured tears, joy and sorrow, can inhabit Writer. Lisa Kron may now feel like the same moment. an old friend to some of you. For those eager to learn more about this smart and funny writer, welcome to her “Playwright Profile.” Lisa grew up in Lansing, Michigan and like many artists, moved to New York after college. As a teenager and young woman in Michigan and in New York, she pursued acting in straight plays, increasingly dissatisfied with the roles for women, and especially LGBTQ women. Seeing the work of the pioneering group Split Britches had a profound impact. Lisa writes, “It was so beautiful and com- plete and so utterly unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was strange yet totally familiar. Funny and heartbreaking and so sexy. It was nonlinear — that blew my Midwestern MIND. And — they made it themselves. To me this was a revelation.” Through Split Brithes, Lisa found her way to the WOW Cafe, a hot-bed for experimental lesbian-centered work in New York’s East Village, the city’s bohemian heart. At WOW’s tiny storefront theatre she found a like-minded tribe of theatre-makers devising their own work, writing their own plays, sometimes in a few months, sometimes in a few days, with sets and costumes made from found materials. It was here that she started doing her own solo work. And it was here that she, her girlfriend Peg Healy, and friends Maureen Angelos, Babs Davy, and Dominique Dibbell, formed The Five Lesbian Brothers. Throughout the ‘90s, both Lisa’s solo work and the plays created with the Brothers gained increasing prominence, and were produced throughout New York at PS 122, The Kitchen, Dixon Place, HERE Arts Center and even- tually at large off-Broadway venues like New Workshop, and in 1997, , where 2.5 Minute Ride opened to rave reviews, winning OBIE, Drama-logue and GLAAD Awards. The Public Theater became an artistic home for Lisa, developing and producing her plays Well, which transferred to Broadway, earning Tony nominations for Lisa and co-star Jayne Houdyshell; In The Wake, Lisa’s most traditionally well-made play; and Fun Home, her musical written with Tony- winning composer Jeanine Tessori, which also transferred to Broadway, winning 5 of its 12 Tony nominations, including Best Musical of 2015.

A fearless of phrases), and the risks and searching moral inventory is the step most of us stumble on, after all.

ABOUT PROFILE THEATRE Founded in 1997 by Jane Unger, Profile Theatre centers a season around a single writer. Jane’s tenure established the theatre as a leading voice in Portland’s cultural scene, exploring the work of some of the 20th Centuries most important masters. Profile’s second Artistic Director, Adriana Baer, was interested in exploring the writers we would come to think of as our “21st Century Masters,” contemporary writers investigating the most pressing concerns of our time. Josh Hecht became Artistic Director in 2017. His commitment to new work and robust community engagement has led to two new commissions in 2018-19 and our Community Profile Program that uses art-making as a means of community-building. In 2010, Profile Theatre was awarded an inaugural “New National Theatre Company” Award from the American Theatre Wing designed to bring national attention to “the most inspiring and innovative theatre companies on our national landscape.” More recently, Profile has twice been recognized by Age and Gender Equity in the Arts for its leadership in equity, diversity and inclusion.
