2 ALICE IN WONDERLAND Wonder and Wonderland A Note from the Founding Artistic Director

Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. Alice: I don't much care where. The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go. Ian Gallanar Alice: ...So long as I get somewhere.

There’s so much to love about Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland (and Alice Through the Looking Glass). The characters are fantastic and funny and odd and unpredictable. These are EXACTLY the kind of folks I like to hang out with in my life.

And these characters and these lines and this world give me A Little Conversation About Art: such a thrill. In this illuminating series of I’ve been looking forward to our producing Alice in Wonderland lively conversations, Founding Artistic Director Ian Gallanar for several years now. I like theater that does as Terry Gilliam exchanges ideas with CSC’s said about his fi lm Time Bandits: “I want something that’s smart leading artists. enough for kids, but action packed enough for adults.” Not only No. 5: Hot Off the Presses is that how I feel about theater for families, it’s a sentiment (and with CSC’s Resident Costume syntax) for which Lewis Carroll would have approved. But what Designer Kristina Lambdin. does it mean? What are we to learn from Alice in Wonderland? Read the series online at ChesapeakeShakespeare.com. We might learn something about the care and feeding of a Read Q&A on Page 7 Jabberwock. It may be that Mr. Carroll wanted us to have a clearer intellectual understanding of 19th Century politics through satire. Perhaps Alice is in a developmental period portrayed as she is engaged in a romance quest for her own identity and growth, for some understanding of logic, rules, the games people play, authority, time, and death.

Or maybe it’s all about the Walrus.

I just hope you enjoy the play. I do. I think it’s a great old story that deserves to be told over and over again. As with our A Christmas Carol, I fi nd great purpose in the telling of well-known tales. Mmm… kinda like Shakespeare. Goo goo g’joob! Warmly,

Ian Gallanar Founder and Artistic Director

ALICE IN WONDERLAND 3 A Bounty of Benefits for Our Beloved Subscribers A Note from the Managing Director

"The Seasons Alter" -- A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Lesley Malin We love our audiences. We love that you are so engaged in our community that you come Downtown to see great theatre. Our actors love talking to you after the shows. We love hearing from you in your notes and calls, too. We treasure the relationship between our patrons and our artists and staff . It’s our pleasure to do our best for you.

So you can understand that we do even more for our subscribers, because they fi nd their experiences with us so meaningful that they plan to spend time with us every few weeks. We show subscribers how much we care in some pretty concrete ways:

• Savings of up to 20% on ticket packages, compared to buying individual tickets. This includes best prices on our Flex 4, Flex 3, and Saturday Matinee choices.

• A 10% discount on Adult and Senior single tickets purchased by subscribers all season long (on all plays except the Movable Macbeth). We hope this helps subscribers bring friends or family with them or make a lovely gift of tickets to someone special.

• Season Extras: Subscribers get fi rst dibs on hot tickets to ourtwo add-on plays. They enjoy the lowest prices we will off er for A Christmas Carol tickets (which are not part of this season’s subscription series). Also, the highly-coveted tickets to our Movable Macbeth are available to subscribers now, before they’re off ered for sale to the public. Our movable plays outdoors in Ellicott City sell out quickly, because we are limited to only about 100 patrons walking with the actors per performance. Order your add-ons before August 6th.

Here are some other nifty notable new things about next season:

• Don’t miss the Henry IV Saturday Marathon: Part I, dinner, Part II. Watch for an off er to join us at this signature event. Enjoy a Falstaffi an Feast of Shakespeare!

• Saturdays are for friends and family: Our value-priced tickets for ages 25 and under are now available on Saturday nights.

• Where do I eat before the show? The No. 1 question asked at the box offi ce has a new answer: We are delighted to let you know that the superb (and show-time conscious) Chez Hugo bistro is now open just next door to the theater at 206 East Redwood.

Join us for our 2018-2019 Season. Enjoy our gorgeous theater and festival stage, our informal and friendly atmosphere, and our excellent, exciting productions. We can’t wait to have you back!

Warmly,

Lesley Malin Managing Director

IAN: Well you do an amazing job of it. In my experience, ac- tors don't always like putting on their costumes for the first time. They often have a hard time getting used to them and often complain about how difficult they are to work with. I never hear that about the costumes you create. You are definitely an "actors’ cos- tume designer." Do you have costume designers or visual artists that inspire you or that you admire?

KRISTINA: When I was in King and Queen of Hearts costumes high school, I was really for Alice in Wonderland, designs by inspired by the costumes Kristina Lambdin. in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, designed by Eiko Ishioka. She created bold and detailed costumes that were stylized and infused with symbolism, but you could believe that they fit into the time period of the late 19th century ...she created a “world” with her designs.

IAN: Oh yeah. Her work is so original. Well, I love collab- orating with you Kristina. I always feel that we don't get in each other's way and that, well, my work is better be- cause I collaborate with you. Last question: Is there a show you’re dying to design that you haven’t had a chance to design yet?

KRISTINA: Alice in Wonderland was the one!

The Chesapeake Shakespeare Company creates performances and education programs out of great classic theatre. Classic plays can be awfully good, but only if they speak to their audience and the community in a way that is dynamic, personal, and pleasurable. We do plays that people like and we perform them in innovative and intimate ways that intensify the connection between audiences and artists. We do this because we want to know what makes Shakespeare so great — and we ask our au- dience and our community to explore that question alongside us. Chesapeake Shakespeare Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofi t organization.
