2016/17 SEASON 3 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

Carousel is a legend. A myth, a fable. It’s a story writ large for all to see. Carousel asks the question: Do we deserve a chance to redeem ourselves? Is there grace on the other side of life? The glory of this story is that there is — we human beings in all our complicated, messy, human doings — can be forgiven. After their major success with Oklahoma!, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III weren’t sure what to write next. The Hungarian play Liliom by Ferenc Molnár came to them from Theresa Helburn of the Theatre Guild and initially they rejected it. But when Rodgers thought about adapting it to a sea coast town in Maine, that excited them. Remember this was created right after World War II, a time of devastation, joy and fear for the whole country and somehow I think this musical was a healing act for those who had lost so many friends and family. The reason why Rodgers and Hammerstein have lasted so long is because their stories are about something meaningful — South Pacific attacked racism; Oklahoma! tackled the fears and triumphs of forging a new state from a territory; and Carousel is about personal redemption and the wrongs we do each other. It Is a story with spirituality and morality in the center of it. I love this story because it’s real. Billy and Julie are complex. We don’t always understand their motivations even when we root for them. Don’t we know many in our own lives we don’t completely understand? We all have people in our lives we spend years trying to figure out — and Billy and Julie are two of these people.

I have long been a fan of the gold-standard musical — those musicals that have stood the test of time, Rodgers and Hammerstein are at the top of the skyscraper as far as I’m concerned, with all other musical theater teams falling below. I feel fortunate to be working with some of my favorite collaborators: Parker Esse with his dynamic choreography; Paul Sportelli who has created a new arrangement for 12 expert musicians; and Todd Rosenthal who has given us a mythic Maine seacoast town. I was inspired by Thornton Wilder’s Our Town to use mime in the entire show to wake up our imaginations. Somehow it feels right with the mythic nature of the story — and to remind us this isn’t reality TV. Longtime collaborator David Leong is our mime and fight expert. The text is juicy because of its origin and Anita Maynard-Losh is our Text Director. Ilona Somogyi and Keith Parham are new to this team and I look forward to sharing their work with you. And, oh, the actors. Thanks to each of you for pouring your hearts into the creation of this Carousel for today. Welcome to you, our audiences — our final collaborators! Now we’ll see the world through your eyes. Best,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

4 2016/17 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Like a state or county fair, or even a traveling carnival, Arena has become a place where members and leaders of every community come together to enjoy theater and to share ideas. This bountiful exchange is fostered by several community partnerships and collaborations that strengthen Arena as an institution by qualifying us as a gathering place for community intervention in Southwest. It goes without saying that the beautiful vision of architect Bing Thom designed a space that lends itself to welcoming the many facets of our D.C. community. With Bing’s recent passing, his spirit and creativity will be terribly missed. I’d like to take this time to highlight some of our wonderful community partnerships. Our relationship with the Southwest Business Improvement District (SWBID) keeps us actively engaged in the changing face of the Southwest community. The SWBID is tracking 39 various development projects including hotels, museums and 1,200 residential units. The SWBID Clean Team brightens the face of our neighborhood. They are an advocate for critical issues that face Southwest as we experience exponential growth. Arena’s collaboration with Martha’s Table, “Martha’s Table Feeds the Mind,” is a means to give children resources to develop a love of language and storytelling. Since last season, the theater accepts donations of gently used books, and also has a selection of age appropriate books for sale at Visitor Services, in the event patrons would like to purchase one to donate onsite. Last year we collected an amazing 2,477 books! The D.C. Career Fair is an ongoing partnership with the offices of Councilmember Charles Allen and Councilmember Elissa Silverman. Beginning in 2013 as a job fair and now blossomed into a Career Fair, the program is an innovative and collaborative effort to focus on giving job-seekers valuable guidance and connecting them to employers. The lobbies are packed with hiring organizations and professional development facilitators ready to find great employees. A generous gift from Trustee Andrew Ammerman made a meaningful partnership possible with Georgetown University. Entering its 10th season, this unique partnership involves a sharing of information and resources. Arena Stage artistic staff and visiting professional artists participate in master classes and convenings at Georgetown University, and likewise Georgetown Theater and Performance Studies faculty provide cross- disciplinary expertise related to productions as applicable for post-show discussions and dramaturgical insight for Arena Stage. Our work in-house and in the community shapes Arena both as an arts organization and as a public institution. Being a welcoming presence in the community makes us a better resident theatre. I’m excited to continue shaping current relationships and embracing new partnerships on the horizon. The doors are open! All best,

Edgar Dobie, Executive Director

2016/17 SEASON 5 Arena Stage Remembers Architect, Bing Thom (1940 — 2016) . Times York The New for Angerer Drew by Photo of Bing Thom

In the late 90s, under the direction of Molly Smith, Arena Stage began to reinvent itself and in 2000, Bing Thom — founder of Bing Thom Architects (BTA) — won the commission to redesign Arena Stage. Considering the rich history of the property, BTA was faced with the challenge of maintaining the original listed historic structures while effectively doubling the size of the overall facilities, improving the acoustics and creating an innovative design that lived up to the strength of the original.

BTA devised an ingenious plan that saved and reused the two original, historic theater buildings, while adding the Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle. The new complex completely reconsidered the building typology and inverted many of the typical assumptions of theater design. By wrapping all three buildings in a 45-foot-high insulated glass skin and topping them with a heroic cantilevered roof, BTA combined the old and new to create an imaginative and forceful theatrical compound that has become a catalyst for the revitalization of Southwest Washington, D.C.

We will be forever grateful to Bing for his vision and dedication to Arena Stage.

Artistic Director Molly Smith is a lover and advocate of the American gold- standard musical. Read more to learn why she was inspired to bring Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel to Arena Stage audiences. WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO DIRECTING CAROUSEL TODAY? I’ve known for years that I wanted to direct Carousel, and finally this is the right time to do it. I have a particular affinity for Rodgers Photo of Nicholas Rodriguez and Betsy Morgan in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel by Tony Powell. and Hammerstein, and this is the Hamlet of American musicals. It is complex in all the best ways. It’s redemptive and full of illumination at the same time. So it’s a perfect musical to ask ourselves the question: “Do I deserve a second chance? In life or in the afterlife? Are we fated to continue the cycles that we experience within our families?” We see the full circle of life in the play, hitting all the rites of passage: death, birth, weddings, even a graduation. I think Carousel is actually a very hopeful story about being a human being in all our messiness. HOW DO YOU FIND THE HOPE IN THIS STORY? I think life is complicated. I think people who tell you that life is easy probably are living in a superficial way or they’re living an unexamined life.Carousel is thought-provoking. It starts with the wildness of a carnival in the middle of a little town on the edge of Maine where people are in mundane factory jobs. Then they’re thrown into this carnival, which is radical and extreme and the town experiences an explosion of joy. Part two is like a Winslow Homer painting: a watery world that takes us to the clambake and the lives of fishermen and sailors and whalers. Then the story moves into an area which is quite dark and tragic: purgatory. I think we live in some version of heaven, earth and purgatory every day. One moment I’m in heaven, and the next I get pulled into purgatory. I’m always operating between these three states of mind, and I think Carousel is an uncanny musical because it takes us into all three states of being. WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF DIRECTING CAROUSEL IN THE ROUND? Directing the show in the round causes you to re-think everything because the gold-standard musicals were written decades ago for proscenium stages. Because we are in the round, you’re never more than nine rows away from the actor, so intimacy is a powerful tool. Because Carousel is really an investigation into the hearts of human beings, I think this is an ideal space for this great musical. In fact, Carousel might be the perfect play to be directed in the round, as the architecture of the Fichandler itself extends the metaphor of the carousel representing the circle and cycle of life. Join us for a post-show conversation with the artists on: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A CLAM BAKE? November 15 at 12:00 p.m. Oh yeah! But the kind of clam bakes I’ve been November 16 at 12:00 p.m. to have been in Alaska. We would dig clams with a shovel at low tide in the moonlight November 22 at 7:30 p.m. when it was freezing cold and then go December 1 at 8:00 p.m. home to a fire and make clam chowder and December 14 at 12:00 p.m. steamers. I’d say that’s a clam bake, but not December 21 at 12:00 p.m. quite the New England kind.
