CORE PRINCIPLES ENGAGING THEATRE that constantly surprises and ignites conversation. 2 DEEP EMPATHY for humankind 3 while not suffering fools gladly. The SPIRITED CHALLENGE of the assumptions and the power structures that rule our lives. A passionate belief in EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY. The use of WIT AND PASSION to stamp out hypocrisy and pretension. The love of a GOOD ARGUMENT. Chair’s Report

A great theatrical company respects the past, but more importantly, relishes the future. In 2011, the Shaw Festival not only celebrated fifty years of delivering theatrical excellence, but also took steps to secure our next fifty years, both artistically and financially. On the playbill this year was a brilliant new production of My Fair Lady, with an energetic cast of 26 actors and a 19-piece orchestra that played to sold-out houses. Audiences couldn’t get enough of Morwyn Brebner’s head-spinning adaptation of The President by Ferenc Molnár, and it was hard to get a ticket to Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. To meet audience demand we extended Paul Sportelli and Jay Turvey’s new musical Maria Severa, as well as Drama at Inish by Lennox Robinson. Our audience reached 259,000 – an increase of more than 5% from 2010 – and our annual fundraising efforts saw an overall increase of 12%. This growth, at a time when arts organizations around the world are suffering, is encouraging and demonstrates that we are on the right track. And yet, we ended the year with a significant deficit. The Board and senior staff take the deficit issue very seriously: difficult decisions have been implemented; an organizational restructuring has taken place; and the 2012 budget is based on conservative attendance targets, while instituting aggressive strategies to grow through fundraising and ticket sales. These steps will strengthen The Shaw, as financial strength in 2012 is critically important if we are to continue to be a leader in offering great theatre. In 2011, the Shaw Festival entered into an agreement with Vintage Hotels to purchase property next to Queen’s Landing, where the Anchorage Motel currently stands. This once-in- a-lifetime opportunity allowed us to secure land for potential expansion, and to consider the future artistic needs of the company. With your continued support, we look to the future with optimism, excitement and energy. I must take a moment to acknowledge the administrative leadership of Executive Director 4 Colleen Blake, who, after 17 thrilling seasons at The Shaw, will retire in 2012. Colleen has been 5 in the pilot’s seat through many of the organization’s most turbulent moments and has faced the challenges with a calm and steady hand. Her energy, heart and steadfast commitment to the company will be greatly missed. I also wish to recognize the many people who played roles in the Shaw Festival’s 50th season: my fellow Governors and senior volunteers of the Governors International Advisory CAT ON A Council, the Shaw Festival Endowment Foundation and the U.S. Shaw Festival Foundation; Artistic Director Jackie Maxwell, the Ensemble and Company; government supporters at all levels; and the individual, corporate and foundation donors who generously supported us.

We led off with Molly Smith’s stunning production of My Fair Lady, which rendered this classic anew with dazzling designs and brilliant performances, delighting audiences and becoming the highest selling production ever for the Festival. The first of our co- missioned Shaw “remixes” – Michael Healey’s version of On the Rocks, gave a new spin to this political satire, emphasizing its dizzy- ing relevance. Our productions of Candida and Heartbreak House gave us a Shaw play on each stage, the latter being joined by Morris Panych’s delightful new musical take on The Admirable Crichton. We had a universally hailed production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof where our Associate Director Eda Holmes lay open the play, allowing for ab- solutely riveting, barn-burning performances. We also remounted the phenomenally successful lunchtime show, The President. A new musical kept us looking forward, with Paul Sportelli and Jay Turvey’s passionate Maria Severa which, along with the little known comedy Drama at Inish, proved so popular that both had their runs extended. In the Studio, the future of the company shone brightly. The opening up of our mandate to include ‘Contemporary Shavian’ writers has revealed itself as a vital addition to our pro- gramming. We produced two extraordinary contemporary dramas – Suzan-Lori Parks’ Topdog/ Underdog, directed by Obsidian Theatre’s Philip Akin and When the Rain Stops Falling by Australian Andrew Bovell, directed by Peter Hinton. Both drew stunning performances from our actors who revelled in these new worlds. The unanimously enthusiastic reaction to these two shows and the diverse audience it brought in made it very clear that, while we will always 8 re-examine the works of Shaw and his contemporaries, we must also include the provocative, challenging work of our own contemporaries to keep ourselves truly relevant. It requires bravery and creative risk-taking from all parts of the organization to produce a season like last year’s and, once again, everybody stepped up to the plate. While there is no doubt that we still have work to do to build our Festival Stage audiences, we took a significant step forward and feel confident, combining fiscal belt-tightening with a strong line-up, that we will continue to do so next year. Risks must continue to be taken, however, and strategically, creatively, they will. I thank our Board, our endlessly enthusiastic staff and all the artists in this brilliant and unique company for their inspiring work and vision and look forward to the new theatrical worlds we will proudly offer our audiences in 2012.

“Jackie Maxwell has directed her cast with just the right amount of heightened realism, allowing the various sagacious women, foolish men and lovable eccen- trics to introduce themselves to us at their own leisurely pace.” TORONTO STAR Executive Director’s Report “There’s not a chance in a million that the Maria-Armando alliance can succeed, but MARIA Sportelli and Turvey have put together an 2011 marked the joyous climax of fifty incredible seasons for the appealing amalgam of text and music that Shaw Festival. Growing from very humble beginnings in 1962, The SEVERA has the audience rooting for the couple... Shaw is now widely acclaimed as one of the best theatre companies Martell and Uhre sing superbly throughout.” in the English-speaking world. We celebrated our past and looked to the future with brilliant productions, several parties, a stunning THE BUFFALO NEWS book, and a thoughtful and provocative forum entitled The Speed of Ideas. Looking to the future, Board and management identified an ideal location for new facilities in the Anchorage Motel property and secured the option to purchase it in a remarkable partnership with Vintage Hotels. The 2011 repertoire brought well-deserved accolades on all fronts and we were particularly thrilled with the response to the Studio Theatre productions of Topdog/Underdog and When the Rain Stops Falling. Molly Smith’s lively production of My Fair Lady broke all previous records with attendance of almost 95,000. Paid attendance for the season increased by 5% over 2010. Certainly, another cause for celebration during the 50th season was the increased financial support from many individual, foundation and corporate donors. I wish to acknowledge several individuals and foundations for their exemplary philanthropic leadership: Michele Darling and Michael Eagen and the Halo Foundation; Nathan and Marilyn Hayward and the 1916 Founda- tion; Nona Heaslip; Gundy and Donald Jackson; Diane and Jim King; and Mona and Harvey Levenstein. On the corporate side, we announced a new three-year, six-figure partnership with visa Infinite, now the Shaw Festival’s Official Payment Card. Similarly, rbc confirmed their support of our Apprenticeship Training program for the next four seasons. Overall fundraising revenue increased by 12% over 2010. Despite these many achievements, the 2011 season resulted in a substantial operating deficit. While we increased fundraising and box office revenues over 2010, the fact is, it wasn’t 10 enough. As a result, in planning for 2012 we have made several difficult decisions, implemented restructuring, and set conservative revenue goals. We are determined to restore the fiscal vitality that will ensure a strong and vibrant future for The Shaw. I am sad to report the recent passing of Valerie Pascal Delacorte, an avid supporter of the arts and ultimately of the Shaw Festival, thanks to the late Cathleen McFarlane Ross. Mrs Delacorte established the Gabriel Pascal Memorial Fund in 2010, leaving The Shaw her share of the rights to My Fair Lady and the motion picture adaptations of The Devil’s Disciple, Major Barbara, and Pygmalion. This wonderful gesture will benefit The Shaw for many generations to come, and for that vision, we are sincerely grateful. In the spring I will leave The Shaw with a great sense of accomplishment and pride in what we have all been able to achieve together, and with sincere appreciation to two outstanding Artistic Directors, an extraordinary staff and company, an exemplary Board, our generous volunteers and contributors, and the millions of people whose loyal patronage has helped to sustain the magic of the Shaw Festival experience.

CLASSICAL 96.3 FM, TORONTO Professional Training: Programs which provide in-service training for members of the company, as well as apprenticeships for promising actors, designers, directors and stage managers. The Academy has also programmed a three-week Mandate Intensive designed to give young actors an immersion into the world of our namesake. Of special importance to the company is the annual Neil Munro Directors Project, produced with the help of Theatre Ontario and Sun Life Financial. Two one-act plays directed by our Intern Directors – Craig Hall and Johnna Wright in 2011 – are presented to the company, to Governors Council members, and to an audience of artistic directors and other theatre professionals. This program is unique in Canada and the overwhelming number of appli- cations received each year is a testament to its reputation. Educational Outreach: A range of programs designed to promote greater understand- ing of our work and our productions for both adult and student audiences. These programs 14 include the Shaw Seminars, Autumn Hostels, 15 Teachers Days, Tuesday q&a, Pre-show Chats, Saturday Conversations, backstage tours, lec- tures, and post-show conversations with members of the Ensemble. In 2009, we initiated a drama school for aspiring thespians between the ages of 8-18.

NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT The Shaw’s play development program continues to develop and produce contemporary plays and adaptations that can sit alongside the works of Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries. The 2011 season featured three plays developed at The Shaw: Maria Severa by Paul Sportelli and Jay Turvey; a new version of Shaw’s On the Rocks by Michael Healey and The President, adapted by Morwyn Brebner. Other new works in development include projects by John Murrell, Erin Shields, Robert Chafe and Michel-Marc Bouchard.

THE SPEED OF IDEAS As part of the 50th season celebrations, The Shaw hosted a two-day forum featuring interviews with playwrights Tony Kushner and Suzan-Lori Parks and a talk by theatre critic for The Guardian, Michael Billington. The two days of debate and discussion celebrated the core of our mandate – the necessity of provocative ideas and asked what Shaw can say to us in the next 50 years and what part theatre can play in the expression of and engagement with ideas that challenge assumptions and inspire debate. We later published Billington’s speech, entitled The Relevance of Shaw’s Plays to Our Times. 29

WHEN THE From the first spark of an idea to create a summer theatre festival dedicated to the work of Bernard Shaw there have been generations of community members who have carried this flame forward, and made sure that the Shaw Festival thrived and the work on its stages burned brightly. We applaud those who have lit the way for so many seasons. We salute The Slaight Family Foundation for their transformative gift, advancing the work of The Slaight Family Academy. RAIN STOPS Together with donors to the Shaw Festival Endowment Foundation, they are helping to ensure that the Shaw Festival will continue to touch the hearts, minds and imaginations of theatre-goers for generations to come. SPECIAL GIFTS As we commemorate The Shaw’s 50th season, we applaud our loyal donors for their passion and support in celebrating this FALLING milestone. Commemorating the 50th season is important, not only to reflect on the many artistic achievements we have shared in the past, but also to inspire us as we look ahead to the next 50 seasons. We salute the following donors, whose special gifts this season helped to make these dreams come true.

Volunteers Volunteers make a vital contribution to the health of the Shaw Festival. We are fortunate to have a talented and dedicated group of supporters in the Shaw Guild. With over 400 members, The Guild is involved in almost every aspect of our operations, from fundraising to tearing tickets, to hosting on the Members Terrace during intermission and working in the gardens. In 2011 our Docent program continued to thrive, with specially-trained Guild members conducting public tours as well as tours for groups and schools. Other individuals volunteer their talents in other ways: Nancy Butler runs our Library with the help of Faye Goodwin. Many volunteers work on special fundraising events like the Shaw Shivaree and the annual Film Series. Overall, we estimate that our volunteers donate a total of more than 10,000 hours each year. We are very grateful for their support! DESIGN BY SCOTT MCKOWEN PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID COOPER EDITED BY JOANNA FALCK THE ENSEMBLE IN MY FAIR LADY.
