WOW!! 2020 has been a wild ride, hasn’t it? Even though I have had to take actions to change the rest of our 56th Season I know you will love every show. While you will see the cast without masks tonight I must ask you to wear your mask while here at the theatre. Do it for yourself, your neighbor and our community. I would also like to let you know that we have tested every cast member to make sure they are negative before we allowed them to remove their masks onstage. All precautions are being taken to keep everyone as safe as possible during this time. I hope you will join us as we continue to present Broadway quality entertainment here at the Titusville Playhouse! ANNIE is an amazing show and means so much to me personally! It is actually the first Broadway show I ever heard, on LP, in my life. It started my path down the road of theatre. The Wall family, in our little town, went to NYC and saw ANNIE in 1977 and brought the album back home. I listened to it with them and loved the show, and then for Christmas that year they bought me a copy of the album. I played that record so many times. When I was seven I would sing the song Maybe at the top of my lungs and one afternoon when I was in my bedroom my Mother came in and told me to turn down the record player but she saw that it was me singing, over the record. That was the first time my Mother realized that I had any ounce of talent. The rest just seemed to fall into place. I have always LOVED this show and have never had the opportunity to direct or be in it. I am so happy to be able to bring this show, that has meant so much to me, to you and our theatre. It is a great show, full of hope and optimism. Exactly what we need today! Thank you so much for your support and I will see you at A Tuna Christmas or for Ghost, The Musical in the New Year!

Perhaps once in a generation there is an event that so deeply impacts the very nature of life on this planet that it becomes their defining moment. As a society we have had to forge a way forward. As educators we have had to forge a way forward, as education is essential to our future. As live performers, we are working to forge a way forward in an industry that was the first to close and will be the last to fully return; and yet ‘live performance’ is so crucial and necessary to expressing our very soul and the struggles we confront. Our season theme is not rebuilding or reshaping our world.

  • Rachel Chavkin Takes on Broadway

    Rachel Chavkin Takes on Broadway

    Arts & Humanities High Art, High Ideals: Rachel Chavkin Takes on Broadway The Tony Award-winning director of Hadestown may be theater’s most forward- thinking artist. By Stuart Miller '90JRN | Fall 2019 Zack DeZon / Getty Images Making her way to the stage of Radio City Music Hall to accept the 2019 Tony Award for best direction of a musical, Rachel Chavkin ’08SOA was thinking about time. She had all of ninety seconds to get to the microphone and deliver her speech, which was written on a much-creased piece of paper folded in her hands. Seven months pregnant, Chavkin, thirty-eight, was not about to sprint. As she told Columbia Magazine days later, “I warned my husband: if they call my name, I won’t have time to hug you!” Hadestown, an enthralling, profoundly moving retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, would, by night’s end, capture eight awards, including best original score and best musical. The accolades were not only hard won — Chavkin, a leading light of experimental theater, and Anaïs Mitchell, a singer-songwriter from Vermont, shaped and refined Hadestown for seven years — but also, some might say, overdue. In seventy-three years of the Tony Awards (named after Antoinette Perry, an actress, director, and theater advocate), Chavkin became just the fourth woman to win for best direction of a musical, joining Julie Taymor (The Lion King), Susan Stroman (The Producers), and Diane Paulus ’97SOA (Pippin). And in 2019, out of twelve new musicals on Broadway, Hadestown was the only one directed by a woman. The show, playing at the Walter Kerr Theatre on West 48th Street, is set mostly in a New Orleans–style barrelhouse at a time of economic and environmental decay.
