JULY 10, 2020 WRAP PARTY AT BIG CORK FALL 2020 Letter from the Producing Director From the Founder & Producing Director ED HERENDEEN At the Contemporary American Theater Festival WORDS MATTER. Ideas matter. Stories matter. YOU, the audience, matters. Your passion for contemporary theater plays a vital and necessary role in producing new work. Now, more than ever, the power of stories and live theater create a deeper appreciation and understanding of the human experience. An experience that is intrinsically beautiful, elegant, turbulent, and messy. We are driven by bold works of art. New work that is bold enough to reflect our present culture back to us. New works produced without a safety net of tradition. These six plays will inspire you, stimulate your imagination, open your minds, and entertain you. Our 2019 playwrights — Deborah Brevoort, Joseph Dougherty, Ellen Fairey, Greg Kalleres, Dael Orlandersmith, Antonio Edwards Suarez, and Michael Weller — use the power of their words to introduce you to new ideas and diverse stories that will challenge, provoke, and ED HERENDEEN fascinate you. “ Now more than ever, we need our myths, our fables, our gods, MISSION and demons. Stories are the most ancient path to empathy.” TO PRODUCE —Guillermo del Toro AND DEVELOP NEW AMERICAN THEATER Embrace the power of words and the power of stories. THE VISION THE ULTIMATE Words matter.

INSURANCE OUTFITTERS WEST VIRGINIA HUMANITIES COUNCIL 4 Letter from the President of the Board Welcome from the President of the CATF Board of Trustees S. ANDREW ARNOLD On behalf of the Contemporary American Theater Festival Board of Trustees, I extend our warmest gratitude and our heartiest welcome. Among the list of accolades that the CATF can share to illustrate its success: rave reviews of the plays, becoming a summer destination for respected American theater artists — none shine like the consistent loyalty of the CATF audience. You, the audience, are the benchmark that reflects the success of this institution. Great art survives and thrives. And you speak that truth by coming each year. My introduction to the Festival came before the second season when I heard a highly S. ANDREW ARNOLD energized vision of what was being built here. I heard Ed speak to a local group and knew I wanted to see the plays. Over one hundred plays later, the seasons only get better. The art produced here moves us through intrigue, tragedy, comedy. We face our reality in these theaters — our deficiencies, our humanity, and our exultation. When the lights go dim know this: something wonderful is about to happen. S. Andrew Arnold, Esquire CATF Board of Trustees, President 5 Letter from the President of Shepherd University A Letter from the President of Shepherd University DR. MARY J.C. HENDRIX WELCOME to Shepherd University and to the Contemporary American Theater Festival that we so proudly host each summer. The longstanding partnership between Shepherd and CATF has enriched our community for more than a quarter of a century. The Center for Contemporary Arts is home to Shepherd’s Department of Contemporary Art and Theater, a unique combination of the visual and performing arts centered in one beautiful complex. The Center for Contemporary Arts houses art and graphic design classrooms, studios — including the L. Dow Benedict Sculpture Studio named in honor of a beloved and longtime faculty member and dean — set and costume shops, and the Stanley C. and Shirley A. Marinoff Theater, where you will have the opportunity to see several of this season’s plays. We are grateful to Dr. Marinoff and his family for their support of CATF, Shepherd University, and the arts. The arts thrive because of support by generous and DR. MARY J.C. HENDRIX thoughtful donors. Since its inception in 1991, CATF has been led by the remarkably talented Ed Herendeen. He developed the Festival in order to produce and develop new American theater and to celebrate playwrights – both established and upcoming. A whirlwind of energy and artistic vision, Ed is directing two of the six plays being presented this season. I hope you will take advantage of all that is offered by the theater Festival, historic Shepherdstown, and Shepherd University during your time with us this summer. CATF evinces Shepherd’s dedication to excellence, innovation, and opportunity. We are extremely proud to be a partner of the Contemporary American Theater Festival, and play a collaborative role in transforming the future. With many best wishes, Mary J.C. Hendrix Shepherd University, President 6 German St. Coffee & Candlery Celeating 26 Years! • A GOURMET MARKETPLACE • THE PRESS ROOM

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose

    STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose

    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.

Nonpartisanship is a cornerstone principle that has strengthened the public’s trust of the charitable community. In exchange for enjoying tax-exempt status and the ability to receive tax-deductible contributions, 501(c)(3) organizations – charitable nonprofits, including religious congregations, and foundations – agree to not engage in “any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” That provision of law protects the integrity and independence of charitable nonprofits and foundations.

ENTERED, A ccording to Act of Congress, in the year 1838, BY E DWARD R. LAMBERT, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Connecticut. PREFACE. AUTHENTIC h istory is of high importance. It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose." And •what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity,) till " the noblest empire iu the reign of time" shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave.
  • Alien Movie Franchise

    Alien Movie Franchise

    Bellies that Go Bump in the Night The Gothic Curriculum of Essential Motherhood in the Alien Movie Franchise KELLY WALDROP The Publish House OR CENTURIES, authors and storytellers have used Gothic tales to educate readers about F all manner of subjects, but one of the most common of those subjects is the question of what it means to be human (Bronfen, 2014). The Gothic genre was born amidst the transition from the Victorian era to the Modern era with all of the attendant social and cultural changes, as well as the anxieties, that came along with those changes (Riquelme, 2014). It is a genre rooted in the exploration of anxieties regarding social and cultural change. Taking two of the earliest examples from the European Gothic tradition, Dracula (Stoker, 1897) teaches readers about the dangers of a rampant and virulent sexuality (Riquelme, 2000), while Frankenstein (Shelley, 1818) warns of both obsessiveness and pride, among many other readings of the various cultural anxieties that may be seen to be aired in these works. In these classic Gothic tales, a key focus is also the horrific results of an out-of-control and “unnatural” form of reproduction. In Dracula, part of the horror is rooted in a generative process that is outside of that of the male/female sex act that produces a child. The women in the story are either victims of the tale (Jonathan Harker’s fiancé) or are depicted as frighteningly sexual while incapable of producing what would be considered normal offspring (Dracula’s brides). In Frankenstein, likewise, the central source of horror is the product of a man usurping the “natural” order of creation.
