Dear Friend,

Welcome to the Walnut! We owe our success to the continued support of loyal theatregoers like you. Thank you for making the Walnut not only the most popular theatre in Philadelphia, but also the most subscribed theatre company in the world!

I’m thrilled to have you as our guest for the wedding of the year in High Society! Tonight you’ll see the Philadelphia premiere of a sparkling, feel-good musical — a wonderful way to open our season. Filled with some of Cole Porter’s greatest songs, this show celebrates the romance of a glamorous era. I hope that you too will fall in love with this dazzling musical comedy.

This holiday season I’m delighted to share with you another Philadelphia premiere, the musical hit A Christmas Story, based on the popular classic film. Next we’ll have the Pulitzer Prize- winning Broadway and Hollywood comedy, Harvey, followed by our swashbuckling production of Peter and the Starcatcher, the grown-up’s prequel to Peter Pan. We’ll end our season with Photo: Mark Garvin the divine musical smash Sister Act, based on the film starring Whoopi Goldberg.

I’m excited to announce that we have extended our Independence Studio on 3 season! We’ve added a week of performances to each production to give more of Philadelphia the opportunity to enjoy our intimate theatre. I hope you’ll join us for a daring tale of a high seas adventure, Shipwrecked!; Becoming Dr. Ruth; Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten; the Tony Award-winning Best Play, Red; and the musical celebration, Always…Patsy Cline!

As part of our WST for Kids series, adults can read books with their children and then see the stories come to life on our stage. This year we’re excited to produce Shrek The Musical Jr., Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Zombie In Love, Freckleface Strawberry The Musical and Miss Nelson Has A Field Day. I hope to see you there with your littlest friends.

For tonight, let’s raise a glass to Cole Porter’s High Society!

Sincerely,

Bernard Havard, Producing Artistic Director
