There’s a beautiful new year ahead as we celebrate the power of possibility in our increasingly challenging and polarizing times. So, it seems appropriate to kick off our “theatrical new year” with John Patrick Shanley’s beautiful play: Outside Mullingar. I owe David Ira Goldstein a debt of gratitude for leaving this slot open for me to choose a play I deeply love this season. Not only does it mark my directorial debut here at Arizona Theatre Company, it also allows me to introduce you to a host of actors and a few designers. I’ve long collaborated with these artists, but they are mostly new to Arizona audiences, and I owe the cast enormous thanks for joining me here. They are amongst my most cherished collaborators, so forgive my indulgence. I’ve known Robynn Rodriguez since I was nineteen years old. I’ve built over 30 plays with John Hutton. I met Larry Bull hiking in 1996 and subsequently hired him over several seasons at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, among other companies. I’ve watched and admired Cassandra Bissell’s work at many national theatres and finally had the honor of hiring her in 2014. They are exceptional individuals on and off-stage. In addition, this marks my first collaboration with our brilliant resident designers, Kish Finnegan and Brian Jerome Peterson, both of whom I’ve known and admired from afar. This is promis- ing algebra. Our legacy meets our future as we engage in building work that not only embraces a community of artists, but adds new ingredients for the future. Speaking of ingredients, this play is delicious. In my opinion, it’s the most gorgeous play John Patrick Shanley has written. And you’re about to see it. I’ll let you do that without me explaining it here. Just remember: life is full of surprises; may a good one bless you in this New Year. Fondly, David Ivers Artistic Director [email protected] 4 2017 2018 LETTER FROM MANAGING DIRECTOR BILLY RUSSO Happy New Year! The staff and board of Arizona Theatre Company, David and I, join in wishing you happiness, good health and good news in the new year. Speaking of good news, I’m thrilled to introduce you to three very talented, passionate and committed people who have joined us over the last four months to take on the responsibilities of key positions at Arizona Theatre Company. Julia Waterfall-Kanter (Director of Development), a second generation Tucsonan, returns to ATC having served as Associate Director of Development in the late 1990s. Other organizations that have benefited from Julia’s expertise include Arizona Opera, Tucson Jewish Community Center and Social Venture Partners. Julia and her husband, Brain Kanter, (whom she met while traipsing around the world with Up With People) are proud parents of two teenage girls. Sue DeBenedette (Director of Marketing) joins the ATC team after many years in marketing in the record business, performing arts and public media. In her own words, “Sue has a crazy passion for connecting people to live performances and is thrilled to help take ATC to new heights in its next 50 years, should she live long enough.” John Geertsen (Company Manager) comes to ATC after a seven-year tenure at Pioneer Theatre in Salt Lake City. John started his career in television (MTV/VH1) and then moved into the world of theatre, first as an equity stage manager with more than a decade of experience then transitioning into the admin- istrative sphere. If you knew the extent of his responsibilities in taking care of all of the artists during the season, you would be astonished at his constant level-headed demeanor laced with a wry sense of humor. Julia, Sue, John all bring deep knowledge and experience but most importantly a desire to take on a role in which they can have a significant impact on the organization’s growth and its service to the commu- nity. They join an already impressive team, ensuring that ATC lives up to the confidence our loyal audi- ence and donors have in us to continue to provide the state of Arizona with theatre of the finest quality available across the nation. And to add to the good news for the month, I am thrilled that you are here with us to experience David Ivers’ directorial debut at Arizona Theatre Company. It’s something I’ve been eagerly anticipating for over a year. I think we’re in for a real treat. As the year begins, so may it continue. Best, Billy Russo Managing Director [email protected] 5 2017 2018 THE CAST (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE) John Hutton (Tony Reilly) is pleased to be making his Arizona Theatre Company debut with Outside Mullingar.

    OPERA AMERICA 2013 GROWING ONSTAGE AND OFF OPTION 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS A SURGE OF INNOVATION 6 RESONATING IN NEW SPACES 14 A COMMUNITY OF VOICES 20 OPERA AMERICA FINANCIAL REPORT 28 ANNUAL FIELD REPORT 30 SUPPORT FOR OPERA AMERICA 55 COVER: Maria Aleida as Queen of the Night in Opera Carolina’s production of The Magic Flute. Photo by Jon Silla. LEFT: Nina Yoshida Nelsen, Ji Hyun Jang and Mihoko Kinoshita in Houston Grand Opera’s production of The Memory Stone by Marty Regan and Kenny Fries. Photo by Felix Sanchez. CONCEPT AND DESIGN FOR ANNUAL REPORT BY THE LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Since its inception OPERA America has existed as a community of like-minded individuals committed to the artistic and financial strength of the field. This past year, our definition of community expanded: our conference, held in Vancouver, affirmed our commitment to all of North America, while our growing partnership with Opera Europa continued to bridge the continents through our shared dedication to an art form that knows no borders. Most profoundly, however, the opening of the National Opera Center in New York has created a new center for our community, a tangible space where individual and company members can gather for auditions, recitals and professional learning programs. The center’s technology capabilities enable us to share these offerings globally, even as its flexible amenities enable us to share our love for opera locally. We are delighted to present our global, national and local achievements of the past year through this Annual Report. To our members we offer gratitude for your support of these achievements.

  • The Coast of Utopia: Voyage & Shipwreck
    SHOTGUN PLAYERS PRESENT The Coast of Utopia: Voyage & Shipwreck Written by Tom Stoppard Directed by Patrick Dooley Berkeley—In a tremendous coup for the biggest little theatre company in town, Shotgun Players has secured the rights to Tom Stoppard’s impressive trilogy. This season Shotgun is producing Part Two: Shipwreck, along with a few special performances of Part One: Voyage, in repertory. In Voyage, we met our young heroes in the first blushes of revolutionary thought and love. Now with Shipwreck we find them in their 30s. The optimism of their early years has hit the rocks of marital infidelity, social anarchy, and a Tsar that has no intention of stepping down. The stakes go up dramatically in this next great duel between the heart and mind. The Coast of Utopia begins performances March 20 and runs through May 5th at The Ashby Stage. Stoppard’s riff on pre-revolutionary Russia begins on a family estate where fervent ideals and fraught expectations are the name of the game. In Voyage, the first part of the amazing Coast of Utopia trilogy, we meet a fervent group of artists, writers and young revolutionaries wrestling with broken hearts along with ideas of art and society: "If something true can be understood about art, something will be understood about liberty, too." Just on the horizon is the hope of revolution. With Shipwreck the story moves to Paris. A circle of Russian émigrés including Alexander and Natalie Herzen, Ivan Turgenev, and Michael Bakunin have relocated to France, seeking inspiration from this birthplace of revolution. Yet both personal and political ideals begin to unravel.

Ryder Smith will be featured in the cast of its upcoming production of OSLO, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher.

The world watches the impossible: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, standing together in the White House Rose Garden, signing the first ever peace agreement between Israel and the PLO. How were the negotiations kept secret? Why were they held in a castle in the middle of Norway? And who are these mysterious negotiators? A darkly comic epic, OSLO tells the true, but until now, untold story of how one young couple, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul (to be played by Jennifer Ehle) and her husband social scientist Terje Rød-Larsen (to be played by Jefferson Mays), planned and orchestrated top-secret, high-level meetings between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which culminated in the signing of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords.

  • Announcing a VIEW from the BRIDGE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous. One of the great theatrical productions of the decade.” -The London Times DIRECT FROM TWO SOLD-OUT ENGAGEMENTS IN LONDON YOUNG VIC’S OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION OF ARTHUR MILLER’S “A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE” Directed by IVO VAN HOVE STARRING MARK STRONG, NICOLA WALKER, PHOEBE FOX, EMUN ELLIOTT, MICHAEL GOULD IS COMING TO BROADWAY THIS FALL PREVIEWS BEGIN WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21 OPENING NIGHT IS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE Direct from two completely sold-out engagements in London, producers Scott Rudin and Lincoln Center Theater will bring the Young Vic’s critically-acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE to Broadway this fall.
