1819 Season Casting Press Release (With Bios) PRESS CONTACTS: Anna Mills Russell, 240.644.1386 [email protected] Sarah Randall, 240.644.1387 [email protected] ROUND HOUSE THEATRE ANNOUNCES CASTING FOR 2018-2019 SEASON Bethesda, Md. (June 6, 2018) – Round House Theatre announces casting for the five mainstage shows that will comprise its 41st season. “Our 2018-2019 Season launches our exciting Resident Artist program, and once again confirms our longstanding value to prioritize the use of local artists, with more than 90% of our artists hailing from the DC area,” says Artistic Director Ryan Rilette. “We’re thrilled to pair the best DC artists with some of the most exciting new plays and modern classics in American theatre. It’s a season you won’t want to miss.” Artistic Director Ryan Rilette opens Round House’s 41st season with Bess Wohl’s Off-Broadway hit Small Mouth Sounds, featuring an ensemble cast of Katie deBuys (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley), Resident Artist Maboud Ebrahimzadeh (The Book of Will), Michael Glenn (Stage Kiss), Beth Hylton (Handbagged), Andrea Harris Smith (Our Town at Olney Theatre Center), and James Whalen (NSFW) as six city dwellers embarking on a week-long silent retreat. Dileep Rao (the film Inception) rounds out the cast as the unseen guru who challenges them to seek peace. Small Mouth Sounds runs August 29 – September 23, 2018 at Round House Theatre Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play How I Learned to Drive will feature Alyssa Wilmoth Keegan (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play) as Li’l Bit, an adult survivor of sexual abuse, and Peter O’Connor (The Aliens at Studio Theatre) as her Uncle Peck. Resident Artist Craig Wallace (“Master Harold” … and the Boys) is joined by Daven Ralston (The Winter’s Tale at Folger Theatre) and Emily Townley (HIR at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company) as members of the Greek chorus, weaving throughout the play as additional characters. Amber Paige McGinnis makes her Round House directorial debut. How I Learned to Drive plays October 10 – November 14, 2018 at Round House Theatre. August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean will feature Stephanie Berry (Skeleton Crew at Centerstage) as 285-year-old soothsayer Aunt Ester, with Justin Weaks (The Christians at Theater J) as Citizen Barlow. They are joined by Jefferson A. Russell (Ironbound) as Aunt Ester’s gatekeeper Eli, Stori Ayers (Father Comes Home from the Wars) as Aunt Ester’s housekeeper Black Mary, Ray Anthony Thomas (Broadway’s revival of Jitney) as Aunt Ester’s suitor Solly Two Kings, KenYatta Rogers (Father Comes Home from the Wars) as Black Mary’s brother Caesar, and Thomas Keegan (Angels in America) as traveling peddler Rutherford Selig. Timothy Douglas (Two Trains Running) returns to Round House to direct this first chapter of August Wilson’s monumental play cycle, running December 3 – 23, 2018. J.T Rogers’ multiple award-winning Oslo is based on true events surrounding the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between the Israelis and Palestinians. The Round House production will feature Erin Weaver and Gregory Linington, both seen in last season’s production of Or, as the audacious husband-and- wife team of Norwegian bureaucrats. They will be joined by Todd Scofield (The Book of Will), Gregory Wooddell (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), Kimberly Gilbert (The Book of Will), Michael Sweeney Hammond (Julius Caesar at Shakespeare Theatre), and John Austin (Melancholy Play at Constellation Theatre) as fellow Norwegians; Maboud Ebrahimzadeh (The Book of Will) and Ahmad Kamal (The Invisible Hand at Olney Theatre Center) as members of the Palestinian camp; Conrad Feininger (Glengarry Glen Ross), Alexander Strain (Glengarry Glen Ross), and Cody Nickell (Born Yesterday at Ford’s Theatre) as members of the Israeli camp; and Susannah Morgan Eig as the German wife and Swedish hostess. Artistic Director Ryan Rilette helms this political thriller, running April 24 – May 19, 2019 at the Lansburgh Theatre. Also at the Lansburgh Theatre, A Doll’s House, Part 2, Lucas Hnath’s sequel to Isben’s 1879 masterpiece, will feature Holly Twyford (last season’s Or,) as Nora, and Craig Wallace (“Master Harold” … and the Boys) as Torvald. They will be joined by Nancy Robinette (Uncle Vanya) as the family’s nanny, Ann Marie and Kathryn Tkel (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley) as the couple’s daughter, Emmy. Associate Artistic Director Nicole A. Watson makes her Round House directorial debut. A Doll’s House, Part 2 opens June 5, 2019, and runs through the end of that month. Full details about the 2018-2019 Season, including subscription information can be found at RoundHouseTheatre.org. RESIDENT ARTIST PROGRAM Round House’s new Resident Artist program will deepen the relationship with key artists through two- year residencies that guarantees each artist work on four productions, while engaging them in teaching, season planning, and donor cultivation. These actors and designers will become part of the Round House team, working year-round rather than on a per show basis—providing much needed job security. Resident Artists, 2018-2020 Maboud Ebrahimzadeh, Actor “It’s a kind of dream for any artist to be offered an opportunity such as this. It’s more than just an on- going commitment to the work, it’s a commitment and a challenge to myself, to learn and grow with a whole organization at my back pushing me to succeed. It’s symbiotic in nature; our success is a shared one. “ Paige Hathaway, Scenic Designer “I could not be more excited about joining Round House as a resident artist. I am filled with anticipation for the work that we are going to be doing together this coming season. Not only are the scripts themselves fantastic, but the team at Round House is also endlessly supportive, talented, and they constantly strive for greatness.” Ivania Stack, Costume Designer “I’m honored and thrilled to be part of the Resident Artist program. Having been part of The Teen Performance Company Program for the past few years and a designer for several Round House shows, I’ve seen firsthand and loved the many ways in which this organization has invested in a multigenerational community of artists. I believe this new program goes even further to strengthen this collaborative circle, and provides artists with even more agency and opportunities to invest back into this incredible community.” Craig Wallace, Actor “I can't wait! Ryan and his team have so many incredible plans for the future of Round House Theatre and I'm excited to be a part of it.” 2018-2019 SEASON INFORMATION SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS By Bess Wohl Directed by Ryan Rilette Round House Theatre AUG 29 – SEPT 23, 2018 Artistic Director Ryan Rilette opens Round House’s 41st season with a remarkable theatrical experience. A weeklong silent retreat in the woods proves to be anything but tranquil for six restless souls in search of enlightenment. Guided by the disembodied voice of an increasingly unhinged guru, the group struggles to find relevance in their own intentions. As the week progresses, they discover inner peace isn’t all that peaceful, especially when you’re spending most of your time trying to relate to the people around you … or avoiding the threat of bears. Played with equal parts humor and tenderness, Small Mouth Sounds examines all the aching, awkward, and awesome ways humans break barriers in order to connect with each other. CAST Alicia Katie deBuys Rodney Maboud Ebrahimzadeh Ned Michael Glenn Joan Beth Hylton Teacher Dileep Rao Judy Andrea Harris Smith Jan James Whalen HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE By Paula Vogel Directed by Amber Paige McGinnis Round House Theatre OCT 10 – NOV 4, 2018 Paula Vogel’s chronicle of one woman’s journey to break the cycle—and silence—of sexual abuse is a heartbreaking, sardonic, and uncomfortably funny exploration of the complicated relationships between victims, offenders, and enablers. Li’l Bit’s “education” at the hands of her Uncle Peck began when she was just 11 years old. As an adult survivor, she takes the stage to unravel the tangled roadmap of emotions and memories that paved the way for her to reclaim her narrative. Amber Paige McGinnis makes her Round House directorial debut with one of the most resonantly powerful plays in the modern American canon, with a message that is still all too relevant in this pivotal #MeToo moment in our history. CAST Li’l Bit Alyssa Wilmoth Keegan Uncle Peck Peter O’Connor Teenage Greek Chorus Daven Ralston Female Greek Chorus Emily Townley Male Greek Chorus Craig Wallace AUGUST WILSON’S GEM OF THE OCEAN Directed by Timothy Douglas Round House Theatre NOV 28 – DEC 23, 2018 As turmoil swirls in Pittsburgh’s Hill District over a tragedy at the local mill, the “American Century” dawns in Aunt Ester’s kitchen when Citizen Barlow arrives to have his soul cleansed by the venerable, 285-year-old soothsayer. Neighborhood personalities mesh and collide as the household prepares for his mystical quest. But with the scars left by the Civil War still fresh, one man’s redemption could mean the end of the uneasy calm holding this African-American community together. This first chapter of August Wilson’s monumental play cycle, directed by Timothy Douglas (August Wilson’s Two Trains Running), challenges us to examine our notions of “freedom” in a country where the end of slavery opened the door to more insidious systems of oppression. CAST Black Mary Stori Ayers Aunt Ester Stephanie Berry Rutherford Selig Thomas Keegan Caesar KenYatta Rogers Eli Jefferson A.

The Role of the Monarchy • Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. • In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State . The British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy . This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. • Although the British Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation. • As Head of State, The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service. • In all these roles The Sovereign is supported by members of their immediate family. http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/HowtheMonarchyworks/HowtheMonarchyworks.aspx Queen and Government • As Head of State The Queen has to remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters, unable to vote or stand for election.

  • PHED Committee in January
    PHED ITEM #3 January 25, 2021 Worksession M E M O R A N D U M January 20, 2021 TO: Planning, Housing, and Economic Development (PHED) Committee FROM: Gene Smith, Legislative Analyst SUBJECT: Review of Pandemic-related Business Assistance Programs PURPOSE: Discussion, no votes expected Those expected for this worksession: Jerome Fletcher, Office of the County Executive Laurie Boyer, Office of the County Executive Ben Wu, Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) Bill Tompkins, MCEDC Sarah Miller, MCEDC The PHED committee requested a review of all the business assistance programs implemented by the County in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Program implementation was divided between the County and the MCEDC. I. Background and Summary The COVID-19 pandemic has created an uneven recession with certain industry sectors more impacted than others. Hospitality, leisure, restaurants, and retail businesses have seen the largest decline in economic activity. Much of this decline is due to the State and County health orders that restrict gathering size to limit the spread of the virus. While there was some expectation that the health orders and restrictions would be short-term measures, the reality is the pandemic has required that these orders remain in place for many months. The Council created many new business assistance programs for the impacted industry sectors to respond to this uneven recession. These new programs were funded and administered by the County or its partners. This memo provides a summary for each program implemented and includes detailed program information in the attachments. Table 1 provides an overview of all the programs included in this report.
