THE LITTLE FOXES
2016/17 SEASON We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Zelda Fichandler, Arena Stage’s co-founder and first Artistic Director. She was 91. Zelda was an extraordinary woman and brilliant theater professional who transformed American theater with her vision and artistry.
From Artistic Director Molly Smith:
Zelda is the mother of us all in the American theater. It was her thinking as a seminal artist and architect of the not-for-profit resident theater that imagined resident theaters creating brilliant theater in our own communities. A revolutionary idea. Her thinking and her writing have forged the way we were created and the resident nature of our movement. She is irreplaceable but lives on in every single not-for-profit theater in America — now over 1,500 strong. Her legacy stretches from coast to coast. Arthur Miller wrote in the preface to Arena’s 40th anniversary keepsake book (The Arena Adventure) that Arena had the makings of a national theater for the U.S.
Without Zelda and Margo Jones and Nina Vance there would not be this robust American theater landscape. So, it was a vision like Zelda’s that could lead to a time where our vision at Arena for American work can thrive. She had a remarkable openness to new ideas and most of all, to always, always support the artist.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends who knew her best.
The Lillian Hellman Festival is dedicated to the memory of Zelda Fichandler.

Zelda Fichandler is Arena’s American Giant who we lost a few months ago and we dedicate the Lillian Hellman Festival in her honor. Zelda was the co-founder of Arena Stage with her husband Tom Fichandler and Edward Mangum. She was, in many ways, the designer of the not-for-profit movement through her speeches and ideas. Each of us in the theater have a bit of her star inside us and our theaters now stretch from coast to coast. Each day I walk in her footprints at Arena Stage. Zelda is irreplaceable.
The Little Foxes is arguably Lillian Hellman’s most enduring work and seemed the perfect way to launch the festival bearing her name. She is an American Giant in the theater and our first female Giant.
This season is the perfect moment to go back in time to one of our most influential writers, Lillian Hellman, after the Women’s Voices Theater Festival last year. And we’ve gone one better: this season seven of the plays are written by women, and six are directed by women, including Kyle Donnelly for The Little Foxes. It’s the Year of the Woman on so many levels in the USA, with the first woman — Hillary Clinton — running for President, and the greatest number of medals won by American women at the Olympics — so many that, if they were a country, American women would bring home the third largest haul of medals in the world!
Lillian Hellman lived life large as a writer, a radical activist and a lover of life. Her craft and artistry with words moves me. She’s dangerous and provocative and yet embeds it all in human stories. She was always, always a political writer, whether she was writing about greed or the rise of fascism. She was independent and outspoken and brave. She grew up during the roaring twenties, became political during the Depression, was popular as a writer during WWII, survived blacklisting during the 50’s and was an idol of the women’s movement.
To give you a taste of her work, we will produce both The Little Foxes and Watch on the Rhine, present readings of plays like Toys in the Attic, host panel discussions about her remarkable life and revolutionary politics, hold a public reading of her memoir Pentimento, screen the movie Julia and launch a series of recipe videos from her cookbook with all-star chefs for social media.
Somehow I think Zelda would have loved this Festival. She wrote me a note some years ago:
“I just read Lillian Hellman’s Watch on the Rhine for the young artists here. It bowled me over to a real stream of tears — it’s time again for this anti-fascist play and its call for personal responsibility.”
Indeed!
Molly Smith, Artistic Director
8 2016/17 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
You may be wondering what we’ve learned from the success of the Women’s Voices Theater Festival. Answering that one question would take more space that we have in our program, however what I can tell you is that we are doing more.
One of the statistics that sparked the festival was the striking fact that from 2011- 2014 only 22% of the plays produced nationally were written by women. In order to tell the most encompassing and relevant stories, we need to hear from our entire community, not a fraction. Arena and six other companies in D.C. banded together to highlight new plays written by women. We supplied the American theater cannon with over 50 world premieres. I am excited and eager to see how that statistic changes. Only time and effort will move the dial.
What is important to realize is that in order to make more female playwrights into household names like Edward Albee, Arthur Miller and Eugene O’Neill, we must produce their plays, tell their stories and create programming that reflects the community in which we live. This season we are doing just that by celebrating Lillian Hellman, an American Giant.
She was not only a playwright with notable and critically-acclaimed reviews, but she was a novelist, screenwriter and chef. She was at the center of controversy many times with her unpopular political and social views. In 1952 she said, “I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year’s fashions...”. We are highlighting all aspects of her life and legacy: the playwright, the screenwriter, the novelist, the foodie and the radical.
Lillian Hellman has inspired numerous plays, novels, movies and an opera because she refused to ask permission. She led her life unapologetically, worked tirelessly and fought vigorously. When I think of how much of a strong force Lillian was, I am reminded of Zelda and the power behind her vision and work. This festival is dedicated to the life and legacy of Zelda Fichandler.
Furthermore, we are taking what we’ve learned from the Women’s Voices Theater Festival, the life of Zelda Fichandler and the community around us by making the celebration of diverse, strong and inclusive voices what we do at Arena. Seasons to come, keep us honest.
Thanks for listening!

Kyle Donnelly has directed a wide variety shows at Arena and formerly served as Associate Artistic Director. We are thrilled to welcome her back for The Little Foxes.
WHAT ATTRACTS YOU TO THE LITTLE FOXES AND WHY DO YOU THINK THIS PLAY IS NECESSARY TODAY? With the volatile political situation in this country right now and the continuing rise of the wealthy 1% to the detriment of the rest of the 99% of the population, The Little Foxes comes along and demonstrates the 19th century roots of this kind of behavior in America. The Hubbards will do anything to ensure they become members of the 1%, the rest be damned. It is a cautionary tale for us all. YOU’VE DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON LILLIAN HELLMAN AND THIS PLAY. CAN YOU SHARE SOME OF THE INSIGHT YOU’VE UNCOVERED? Research is one of my favorite parts of directing. I do what is satisfying to me regarding the history, time period and behavior of the characters in the play. My research on this play, other than usual historical research and study of the playwright, involved Henry James. I instinctually felt that Hellman was influenced by that great writer, and so I began to investigate. Probably the most influential on me was the film,The Innocents, Enjoy a half price bottle of wine an adaptation of James’ Turn of the Screw. It is very atmospheric and spooky and melodramatic. I felt this tone, this view of the world, fit with my ideas about the production. with Masala Art’s 3-course prix fixe dinner before the show CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SCENIC DESIGN?
