A note from Executive & Producing Artistic Director, Andrew Vonderschmitt Hello and welcome to the Playhouse. I wanted to take a moment of your time to say thank you. Thank you for your continued support of the Playhouse and thank you for supporting the arts in general. As an artist I understand the commitment and responsibility I have to you, the audience. Art is not created in a vacuum. It takes an observer to finish the formula. This particular art form, on this particular day and time, in this particular venue, is for you, and you alone. I honestly hope that you enjoy your visit with us and that you will return soon. I am always open to comment, complaint, compliment, concern, or just plain conversation. How’s that for alliteration? Of course, I enjoy compliments over complaints, but who doesn’t learn from input of any kind? A healthy dialogue with you, the audience, is very important to me. I can be reached via email, snail-mail, phone, fax, or you can drop by the Playhouse. However you choose to contact me and tell me how I’m doing, I welcome it. Thank you, once again, for your patronage. Enjoy the show. Andrew Vonderschmitt [email protected] • Office: 562-494-1014 ex 503 Cell: 714-390-2107 • Fax: 562-961-8616 5021 E.

    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. atpIssuel 4,aFall 1999 y In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT aggie Edson — the celebrated playwright who is so far Off- Broadway, she’s below the Mason-Dixon line — is performing a Mdaily ritual known as Wiggle Down. " Tapping my toe, just tapping my toe" she sings, to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain," before a crowd of kindergarteners at a downtown elementary school in Atlanta. "What a glorious feeling, I'm — nodding my head!" The kids gleefully tap their toes and nod themselves silly as they sing along. "Give yourselves a standing O!" Ms. Edson cries, when the song ends. Her charges scramble to their feet and clap their hands, sending their arms arcing overhead in a giant "O." This willowy 37-year-old woman with tousled brown hair and a big grin couldn't seem more different from Dr. Vivian Bearing, the brilliant, emotionally remote English professor who is the heroine of her play WIT — which has won such unanimous critical acclaim in its small Off- Broadway production. Vivian is a 50-year-old scholar who has devoted her life to the study of John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." When we meet her, she is dying of very placement of a comma crystallizing mysteries of life and death for ovarian cancer. Bald from chemotherapy, she makes her entrance clad Vivian and her audience. For this feat, one critic demanded that Ms. Edson in a hospital gown, dragging an IV pole.

The story written in 1868 relates a fictionalized account of its author’s young life with her sisters. While certain aspects of the story have been altered in this musical adaptation, the heart of the tale remains untouched. Four sisters of the March family: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy come of age during the U.S. Civil War, while their father is away with the Union Army. Their mother, whom they affectionately call “Marmee,” nurtures and encourages these four strong-spirited young women to achieve their dreams. While this approach to raising children may be “conventional,” there is little “conventional” about her daughters. Jo, a tom-boyish writer, disregards social standards of how women should behave.

    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. a tpIssue 5,l Springa 2000 y Diana Son’s STOP KISS had its New York premiere at the Joseph Papp Public Theater where it extended three times, making it the longest running play at the Public under the George C. Wolfe administration. The play earned nominations for both the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama League Award, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. In this poignant and funny play, two young women slowly discover that they might be falling in love. When their tentative first kiss pro- vokes an act of violence, their lives are transformed in ways they couldn’t have pre- dicted. Our director of professional rights, Robert Vaughan, had a phone conversa- tion with Diana Son about how her own life has been transformed since the success of STOP KISS. RV: This is going to be fun. DS: Yeah. We’re putting you on the cover. There’s a picture of you sitting on a ledge at the Public Theater. You’re kidding. My hair is twelve inches longer than that now. Is it really? Well, not that much longer. It’s kind of grown out. But I’m a playwright—when else would I get my picture taken? Exactly. So, did you know you’re a complete mystery? Really? Everybody I’ve dealt with on STOP KISS so far has the most interesting questions about you. Should we keep you a mystery, or should we tell them about you? It’s so tempting … I wonder which we should do? I’ll give you an example, but I shouldn’t name names.
