Brown and Dramaturg Jessica Johnson On August 4, 1892, the grisly murders of Abby and Andrew Borden would shake their small community of Fall River, Massachusetts and would become the inciting event of one of America’s most famous unsolved crimes. At the center of the case stood Lizzie Borden, the prime suspect put on trial for murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet. Though ultimately acquitted due to a lack of physical evidence, Lizzie has remained an icon of American crime lore, and has been the subject of folk rhymes, books, theatre, television miniseries, and films. One can even stay in the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in the same house where the murders took place. It is a question that has intrigued the public for over a century: “Did she do it, and if so, what would possibly lead this mild- Lizzie Borden mannered Sunday school teacher to commit such a gruesome act?” Not all theories point to Lizzie committing the crime. Despite having enormous wealth from his career as an undertaker, banker, and property owner, Andrew Borden was a frugal man who kept tight control over his fortune and his daughters, Emma and Lizzie. Though able to live amply, he chose to live simply just down the hill from the wealthy neighborhoods of Fall River, his home being the only one on the block without indoor plumbing. Some believe that perhaps an enraged enemy of Borden had committed the murders in revenge for a faulty business deal, or that it could have been orchestrated by John Morse, brother to Lizzie and Emma’s mother, who was staying in the Borden guest room in the days before the murder. The overwhelming majority of theories point to Lizzie being the perpetrator due to her presence at the house at the time of the killings, conflicting details during her testimony, and her aloof demeanor during police questioning and the inquest. Some speculate that Lizzie killed her stepmother in a fit of rage due to her father’s recent gift of property to Mrs. Borden. A physician at the time even suggested temporary mania, stating, “hacking is almost a positive sign of a deed by a woman who is unconscious of what she is doing.” Others posit that what pushed Lizzie to murder her father was his recent killing of the pigeons she kept caged. Rumors have swirled about Andrew Borden and if he sexually abused either of his daughters or Bridget Sullivan, the family maid. Many have wondered about Lizzie’s sexuality and if social pressures triggered her attack, as she remained unmarried and solely in the company of women, such as neighbor Alice Sullivan and stage star Nance O’Neil. However, these rumors remain unsubstantiated. These theories and many more have been explored repeatedly in the media. Despite all discourse and dissention, one common theme persists behind most retellings of the Borden story—Lizzie’s reclamation of power under patriarchal suppression. Said author Ann Saddlemyer about a 1980 play adaptation titled Blood Relations, “The story epitomizes the strengths and originality of theatre about women imprisoned in a man-ordered universe.” Many women today still feel the reverberations of a “man-ordered universe” in their daily lives, as they try to maneuver and push back against a society structured for and revolving around men’s inclinations. LIZZIE, the rock re-telling of the infamous case, aligns with these themes of reclaiming power in a time of female suppression and extreme desperation. In this production, Lizzie is a fragmented soul that copes with her abuse and oppression by creating an imagined version of her world that is accented by expressionistic, vibrant, wild modern rock music. We join Lizzie in her fight to make sense of her reality—one that is defined only by limitations of power, money, expression, freedom, and love.

  • A Bronx Tale
    A Bronx Tale Synopsis A Bronx Tale, a new musical set in the early 1960s, is based on the autobiographical play written by Chazz Palminteri. It tells the coming-of-age story of Calogero Anello, a young boy from a working class family who finds himself caught between his loving father and a charismatic mob boss. In Act One, Calogero witnesses Sonny, the mob boss, murdering someone right in front of his house on Belmont Avenue; Calogero covers for Sonny when questioned by the NYPD. Calogero’s father, Lorenzo, who is an MTA bus driver, wants to instill a strong sense of right and wrong in his son, but Calogero goes against his father’s wishes. After Sonny is released by the police with no charges against him, he takes Calogero under his wing and helps him get involved with the “glamorous” world of organized crime. Sometime later, Calogero is all grown up and a full prodigy of Sonny, but his father has no idea he has continued to see Sonny. Calogero has also developed a group of Italian- American friends that Sonny thinks is a bad influence over him and encourages Calogero to stick to his schoolwork. Calogero meets an African-American girl, Jane, on Webster Avenue which is a very different side of the Bronx than where Calogero lives. He asks his father for advice on what he should do when he and Jane go on a date. Calogero’s father doesn’t exactly approve of him going out with Jane because he is concerned for his son’s safety, considering the high racial tensions on the time period, but Lorenzo still gives him advice.

    A WORD FROM THE PRODUCERS Michael Holzer Jacque Carnahan One year ago, we came together at the Gershwin Theatre for the very first Arts for Autism concert. Dozens of Broadway actors joined more than 150 young performers to take part in a show that inspired, educated and entertained us. It was uplifting to see so many passionate artists collaborate to raise awareness, encourage acceptance and to celebrate the power of the arts. We also witnessed the Broadway debut of Gina Hitsos, a young singer with autism who found her voice through the magic of music. There was an infectious feeling of love, excitement and optimism as everyone left the theatre that night. After a year of planning and projects we are back! We have many new and exciting developments since last June. After debuting a special arrangement of “Defying Gravity” in last year’s concert, we released a music video to share the beautiful message with an even wider audience. In February, we ventured out to the Ice Plant Recording studios in Queens with three former Broadway Elphabas from Wicked to reimagine the song we know and love. You can find the video on our website at ArtsForAutism.net. In May, we joined Autism Speaks at MetLife Stadium for the Northern New Jersey Walk. We were thrilled to be there and show our support. Jacque and our talented musicians serenaded and entertained the walkers; it was wonderful to see firsthand the positive impact that music can have. Now it’s June, and here we are again at the Gershwin Theatre.

  • Keynote Address an Independent Study Richard Oberacker Composer and Music Director
    NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS OF THEATRE ANNUAL MEETING 2017 Keynote Address An Independent Study Richard Oberacker Composer and Music Director It seems traditional to open a lot of keynote addresses with a quote, usually a poem on the secrets of the universe. Maybe Shakespeare. I'm going to quote a restaurant owner. And I'm not even going to give him the dignity of an exact quote. I'm paraphrasing. Danny Meyer is the owner of Union Square Cafe, Shake Shack, many other restaurants, and one of the most successful hospitality consulting firms the world has ever known. A lot of publishers came after him to write the definitive book on hospitality management. He said—and here's the pseudo quote—I can't just write down some secret formula. But I'm willing to tell you the story of my life, the choices I made, what happened because of those choices, and if anything in there inspires someone to change their business approach to be more successful, then that's pretty cool. And that's what he did. The book is called Setting the Table, and I highly recommend it. It'll change your approach to all management situations, and you'll never look at eating in a restaurant the same way again. But this is theater. Lunch is later. When I was asked about speaking to a gathering of the greatest theater educators in our country, I thought, "What the hell are they thinking?" But my experience in college was unique. And what I do with it—how I view the world because of it—is also unique.

  • Press Release: EDGES (2021)
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Alert for Theatre Editors, Reviewers and Calendar Listings Orange County premiere of Edges Chance Theater returns to live in-person performances for the first musical written by the award-winning songwriters of Dear Evan Hansen, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul ANAHEIM, CA: Chance Theater is excited to announce that the Orange County premiere of Pasek and Paul’s musical, Edges will be the third show in its 23rd Anniversary Season, and the first show presented live and in-person since shutting its doors on March 13, 2020. This clever and charming musical is directed by Resident Artist James Michael McHale and music direction is by Resident Artist Robyn Manion. The show is performing July 9 - August 8, 2021. Before they wrote Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dogfight, and many other modern musical classics, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul wrote a thrilling song cycle about four burgeoning adults asking classic coming-of-age questions about love, commitment, identity, and meaning. For the first time in Orange County, see how the Oscar, Grammy, Tony, and Golden Globe Award-winning song team started their journey — with a charming, witty and honest examination of adulthood that explores what happens when we’re teetering on the edge of the rest of our lives. Please note that this show contains adult language. Back in 2005, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul were undergraduates at the University of Michigan who were feeling dissatisfied with the roles they were being cast in for their college shows. Deciding to do something about it, Pasek and Paul (who had casually written only a couple of songs together at this point) decided to produce their own show -- an original piece called Edges that would be made up entirely of songs they would write and would star fellow college students.
