2016/17 SEASON 3 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

We recently announced an ambitious initiative called Power Plays which will commission 25 new plays over the next 10 years focused on American politics, one play or musical per decade from 1776 to the present day. As a city with power and politics at its center, this series of new plays promises to spark charged conversations and deep engagement with our audiences and artists.

In the wake of the presidential election, I’ve been thinking about how exciting it is to have Lisa Loomer’s Roe here at this moment in history. Roe is a co-production with our great friends at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Berkeley Repertory, and while this play was not commissioned by Arena (OSF commissioned the play), the idea of tackling one of America’s most influential Supreme Court decisions is exactly the type of new work we envision through Power Plays.

None of us realized how exciting this play would be at this moment in time, until November 9...

I think this city is ready for Lisa’s remarkable play. So many audience members have been energized by the idea of it.

Theater is a special place. Theater is a place to take risks, to promote new and diverse voices, to speak truth to power. The theater is and must remain a place to exercise our right to free speech. Theater involves a search for truth, not the hiding of it; a critique of power, not the exercise of it; an invitation to conversation and insight, not a shutting down of dialogue. Roe articulates the passionate feelings on both sides, and this play gives both their due. Now — in the days surrounding a new presidency and the months we’ve endured with a vacant seat on the highest bench — is a critical time to bring this story to Washington. Lisa Loomer doesn’t dodge the punches and she also makes sure we are listening and understanding the arguments.

If the ideas in this play inspire you to spark conversations with your loved ones, contact your representatives and become active in your community, theater has done its job. We won’t shy away from a meaningful debate about personal rights even in the midst of a heated and dangerous political environment.

Director Bill Rauch doesn’t shy away from passionate discussions either. I have known Bill for over 30 years. While he was traveling to communities with Cornerstone Theater, I was creating theater with different communities in Alaska through Perseverance Theatre. I have a deep respect for his passion and intense gifts as an artist. I am proud that Bill and I have forged a strong partnership between our theaters. There is powerful theater being created on the west coast — passionate political work which crosses all boundaries.

Thank you for being with us today to hear both sides of the story.

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

4 2016/17 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Arena Stage has never been an institution to shy away from political subject matter, no matter who is in charge! In fact, it may be one of the things that has set us apart from other resident theater programming. This election cycle has been very robust and like many of you we could feel its effects here at Arena. Being centered in the nation’s capital it’s always clear how a noticeable part of our audiences tend to ebb and flow during an election year, and it’s always meaningful to expose what we create to the incoming members of the community. With the holidays behind us and the inauguration in sight, we are hitting the ground running with one of our most politically charged productions of the season. This is a co-production with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Berkeley Repertory Theatre that Molly and I were very passionate about bringing D.C. audiences. Arena’s audiences enjoy work that is thought provoking and challenging. Being in the nation’s capital, Arena plays a role in setting the artistic agenda in the city. Washingtonians are always ready for work that pushes beyond the comfort zone and asks them to look at all sides of a story.

As many of you know, government funding contributes to the resources we have. This funding touches everything. We receive a federal general operating support grant from the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs Program (NCACA). Several large artistic and cultural institutions operating in Washington, D.C. receive this support. NCACA looks to support organizations whose mission is to perform, exhibit or present the arts on a large scale. Recipients of NCACA grants include other prominent institutions such as the National Building Museum, Washington Performing Arts, the Phillips Collection and the Kennedy Center. The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs fund grant program is supported by a direct appropriation from Congress. For nearly 40 years, the program has been funded each year at between two and 10 million dollars. The awards are granted based on the organization’s annual income and annual operating costs. As a point of comparison, our sister theaters across the nation of a similar size measure their federal grant support as 0.3% of their operating expense. The federal support to Arena through NCACA — and the ever essential National Endowment for the Arts — represents 0.75% of our operating expense, so although diminished over the past years, it still represents a significant investment. Arena also receives essential support from the District of Columbia through the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

Arena will continue to be advocates for politically conscious work and a proponent of great diverse story telling. As a resident theater our responsibility is to continually engage our audiences in as many ways as possible and use the funds we are allocated to create a season that opens our hearts and minds to new ideas. As always, thank you for being an audience that is willing to remain gracefully open to hearing stories told with our distinct American voices — all of them!

Thanks for listening.

Playwright Lisa Loomer and I have a history that goes back almost two decades to our shared roots in the Los Angeles theater scene. In fact, Roe marks her fourth world premiere that I’ve been privileged to direct. Lisa consistently examines what divides and connects us in contemporary American society; her body of work is simultaneously theatrical, entertaining and unflinching in tackling thorny issues, and sympathetic to all her characters. She also understands in an uncanny way that humor is one of the surest paths to empathy. Photo of Sara Bruner, Sarah Jane Agnew and Susan Lynskey by Jenny Graham. Roe marks the eighth new play developed by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s American Revolutions: the United States History Cycle, and the third to run at Arena Stage (Sweat, a co-production, and All the Way). It has been one of the most gratifying developments in my tenure as artistic director of OSF that audiences across the country have wholeheartedly embraced these dramatic studies of moments of change in our country’s past. We are also proud that these United States History Cycle plays have gone on to numerous stages across the country, including Arena Stage, and we anticipate that Roe will join this important ongoing national dialogue about our past to help us better understand our present and possible paths for the future.

Some 44 years after the landmark Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade, the issue of abortion has a new urgency. And it packs what feels like a greater-than-ever power to polarize: it creates as extreme a social divide as any that faces us as Americans. In her bracing new play, Lisa Loomer asks each one of us in the audience – wherever our views land us – to open our hearts and consider the humanity of those with whom we may Join us for a post-show passionately differ on a deeply personal conversation with the artists on: moral issue. January 25 at 12:00 p.m. Could there be any more important task for January 31 at 7:30 p.m. our art form to engage in? February 1 at 12:00 p.m. - Bill Rauch, Director February 14 at 12:00 p.m. February 16 at 8:00 p.m.
