Program and Advanced Actor MANAGER) Is a Proud Montana Combatant with Society of American Native Who LOVES Working with Boho Theatre BoHo Theatre creates bold theatre that challeng- es convention through innovative storytelling and creates a shared community of artists and patrons in which all members are moved through art to make thoughtful, well-examined, caring relationships the highest priority in their lives.

Samorian www.BoHoTheatre.com /BoHoTheatre @BoHoTheatre FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR With each production, BoHo explores one of the bohemian pillars: truth, beauty, freedom, or love. The stories we share ask us to examine how these pillars affect the relationships we experience or encounter in our everyday lives. With THREE DAYS OF RAIN, we delve into the pillar of “truth.” One of the most mysterious of relationships is that of parent and child. I’m constantly in awe of how little I actually know or understand about my parents, and conversely how little I feel they know about me. I'm from a time period similar to the characters in Act I, and I share both their drive to understand where they're from and also their hope to try and make sense of childhood memories and mysteries. What’s difficult to accept in my search for understanding is the fact that my parents are defined through my own personal filter... and that filter is almost certainly guaranteed to obscure the truth. Moreover, I can’t help wondering if my parents are asking these same questions about my truths, perhaps wondering how past moments, memories, or secrets they’ve held have shape who I am today. BoHo was drawn to THREE DAYS OF RAIN by its exciting and complex relationships and the show's focus on unearthing “truths” in these relationships. Being able to experience both sides of “assumption” and “truth” through the lens of the parent and child relationship – and doing so on behalf of a beautifully written and incredibly intelligent script – is exactly the reason this kind of story excites us as a company. It challenges my own perceptions of what I believe to be “truth” in my parental relationship, and I hope it similarly inspires others to do the same. For my part, understanding the story of my parents will be a life long journey. Yet with each passing day, a little “assumption” gives way to “truth.” Watching this production reminds me of how far I have yet to travel to find the full story.

    OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show.
