Copyright Merrimack Repertory Theatre, 2014. BOARD OF TRUSTEES WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR & PRESIDENT Chair Nancy L. Donahue President Stephen J. Irish Vice-President Richard E. Bolton, Jr. Treasurer Robert McKittrick n behalf of the Board of Trustees and staff of Merrimack Repertory Theatre, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to MRT’s Secretary Terry T. Howard donors, subscribers and patrons. The 2013-14 Season contained Oa strong mix of contemporary plays and modern classics. MRT began Donald A. Bedard the season with the Tony Award-winning play God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton, and ended with The Judith Benson Reduced Shakespeare Company® in The Complete History of Comedy Denise Bey (abridged). In between we traveled to Steubenville, Ohio in 1967, a modern day bar in Philadelphia, were serenaded by Bessie Smith in a Michael Conway buffet flat, traveled to a converted train car in England, and fell in love Brenda J. Costello with Sally Talley and Matt Friedman on the Fourth of July. Paul Drouilhet The successful Renovation Campaign concluded with the beautiful renovation of the Nancy L. Donahue Theatre in Liberty Hall in 2012 (FY13) Daniel R. Frantz with additional funds for artistic enhancement, allowing MRT to expand Denise Glaser artistic programming. At the same time, MRT staff and Board began to implement initiatives to fight industry-wide trends in lower earned revenue Debra Grossman and a plateau in contributed income. Due to accounting principles Frank Hopkins related to capital campaigns, the entire sum of renovation pledges was recognized in FY13, leading to a significant surplus. MRT then projected Dennis P. Jones a deficit for FY14, but, it is important to note, a positive cash flow as Ann P. Kazer renovation pledges continued to be paid on their planned three-year schedule. In April 2014, Artistic Director Charles Towers announced he Arnold M. Kerzner would step down at the end of the 2014-15 Season. MRT Board and staff Mary Jane King convened in June 2014 for a strategic session in which they discussed their future vision for MRT and determined a position profile for the artistic Patricia McCafferty leader to achieve this vision. The search, led by AlbertHall&Associates, Robert J. McDonald launched from that session and concluded in December 2014 with the announcement of Sean Daniels as the next Artistic Director of MRT. Keith B. Mitchell Susan Mitchell MRT remains focused on its mission to “to advance the cause of human understanding by creating theatrical productions at the highest level of Linda Monticciolo artistic excellence and making them affordable to the broadest possible Lincoln Pinsky community.” This mission statement keeps MRT poised for future success, ensuring that MRT is committed to artistic and financial growth Joellen Scannell while remaining a vital part of our community.

  • The God of Carnage
    Presents Yasmina Reza’s The God Of Carnage Opening Night: Feb 15th 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25 February at 7 p.m. 17, 24 February at 4 p.m. at Teater Brunnsgatan 4 THE GOD OF CARNAGE - Following a playground altercation between two 11-year-old boys in an affluent London neighborhood, the parents agree to meet to discuss the situation civilly. However, the facade of polite society soon falls away as the two couples regress to childish accusations, bullying and bickering themselves. Originally written in French and entitled Le Dieu du Carnage, The God of Carnage premiered in 2006 at the Schauspielhaus in Zurich directed by Jürgen Gosch and it made its French-language debut at the Théâtre Antoine in Paris in January 2008 directed by the author. Reza’s long-time collaborator Christopher Hampton translated and adapted an English-language version that premiered at the Gielgud Theatre in London’s West End in March 2008 and the production won the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Hampton further adapted the script for an Americanized edition, which premiered on Broadway at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in February 2009 and the production won Best Play (Reza’s second win). The international popularity of the play led to a film adaptation called Carnage, which premiered in Italy at the Venice Film Festival before being released in the United Stated in September 2011. Written by Reza with director Roman Polanski, the film starred Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz. ABOUT SEST SEST – The Stockholm English Speaking Theatre, now in its third year, presents Yasmina Reza’s The God of Carnage, translated by Christopher Hampton, from Feb 15 to Feb 25 at Teater Brunnsgatan 4.

Gender: The Hidden God in Yasmina Reza's Le Dieu du Carnage Abstract Most critics have analyzed acclaimed playwright Yasmina Reza’s Le Dieu du Carnage (2007) as a descent into savagery. This close examination of the play points to the role of gender norms and stereotypes in causing the decline in civility. By taking part in a culture that worships gender ideals, the characters in Reza’s play police one another’s actions to ensure that everyone behaves like proper men and women. The act of attempting to successfully perform femininity or masculinity leads to the evening’s disastrous events.

    ‘ART’ Director Notes, Michael Butler CENTER REPERTORY COMPANY Michael Butler, Artistic Director Scott Denison, Managing Director There are three great unanswered questions in the world: “Is there a God?” “Do aliens exist?” And “What is art?” presents Some time ago I visited the High Museum in Atlanta. It’s an excellent small museum. They’ve got a Picasso and a couple of other 20th century heavyweights hanging on the walls. But the highlight for me was the Ad Reinhardt painting. Reinhardt was an American abstract expressionist best known for his monochromatic canvases in black, much like the white painting that stirs up so much trouble in Yasmina Reza’s play ‘ART.’ In Ms. Reza’s play, Marc is deeply disturbed when his friend Serge buys an expensive white painting. A third friend, Yvan, tries to hold the friendship together and things get sticky as the glue of male bonding comes undone. It’s a funny, surprisingly complex play about men, written by a woman, one that explores what can happen when someone close to you, someone you think you know, does something completely unexpected. Like buy an all-white painting for a lot of money. ‘art’ The High Museum was showing one of Reinhardt’s black paintings. It was a canvas about 4 by 5 feet, pretty much all black but if you looked closely and patiently, it was possible to detect hues and textures, and possibly even some lines or patterns within it, and perhaps what looked like the shape of a cross. Hard By to say though; look at anything closely or long enough and you may see all kinds of things.

  • God of Carnage’ Is a Comedy of Manners Without the Manners
    SVCT’s ‘God of Carnage’ is a comedy of manners without the manners Broadway version won a Tony Award for best play in 2009 Published in the April 13 – 26, 2016 issue of Morgan Hill Life By Marty Cheek | Photos by Marty Cheek Beth Harnett (left), as Annette Raleigh, listens to an argument Doug Goughty, as Michael Novak, has with Karyn Rondeau, performing as his wife Veronica Novak, in “God of Carnage.” Four New York City grownups descend into a childish war of words in the Tony-award winning comedy “God of Carnage,” the South Valley Civic Theatre’s new show now playing at the Morgan Hill Community Playhouse. Originally written in French by Yasmina Reza, the play is an intense psychological study of two sets of parents, one of whose child has physically hurt the other at a public park. They meet at one couple’s apartment to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. As the evening progresses, the parents become increasingly infantile and bicker with each other, resulting the discussion devolving into chaos. The original Broadway cast included Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden and all four actors were nominated for Tony Awards for their performances. Peter Mandel, as Alan Raleigh, keeps taking cell phone calls during the play, interrupting the discussion. SVCT perennial actor Peter Mandel plays the role of Alan Raleigh, the obnoxiously rude attorney who keeps interrupting the parental discussion to answer his cell phone to deal with a legal case. “The show is really a character study of two sets of parents who come together to try to peacefully discuss a playground incident between their children,” he said.
