2 PRC APR 24–28, 2019 Joan H. Gillings Center for Dramatic Art | playmakersrep.org | 919.962.7529 VIVIENNE BENESCH PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome to the Kenan Theater, and to Virginia Grise’s radical performance manifesto, Your Healing is Killing Me.

As our spirited new Associate Producer Alejandro Rodriguez told me recently: “What Virginia’s writing teaches us is that no space is a safe space for certain bodies in America, and what appears as a familiar comfort to one group (health care, law enforcement, etc.) might actually be a lethal threat to another. If our goal is truly to ‘draw our circle wider’ we must be willing to be exposed to—and indeed confronted by—the reality of other lived experiences, especially the experiences of women of color who have borne the brunt of so many accumulated layers of systemic oppression.” Fortunately, the PRC2 Series has evolved into the perfect platform for these sorts of theatrical confrontations: experiences that often leave us feeling rattled and disoriented but also more alive, more empathetic and more humane. Among a season of incredible highlights in both our spaces here and out in our community, I have to admit that several of my favorite moments of the year have happened right here in the Kenan. I want to personally thank you, our regular PRC2 attendees, for your loyalty, bravery, and appetite for risk. We can only ever be as bold as our audiences, and this season has convinced me you all are among the boldest in the country. If you’re meeting PlayMakers for the first time tonight, thank you for jumping off the deep end with us. We hope you’ll choose to take advantage of the full menu of programming we have on offer. With this show, our 2018/19 season, Shifting Ground: Theatre That Moves, comes to a close. We hope you’ve enjoyed the journey as much as we have. We’re back at it again in August with nine new dynamic, entertaining productions for you to enjoy, starting right here in the Kenan, with local literary giant Howard Craft’s one-woman-show, No Fear & Blues Long Gone, about the life & music of Nina Simone. Even before then, please come back and join us for our Summer Youth Conservatory’s highly-anticipated production of Bright Star, a musical set right here in North Carolina, written and composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Thank you again for helping us to shift ground this year; we’ll see you next season as we both look back and charge ahead with our 2019/20 line-up, Legacy | NOW.

Warmly,
