First came our collaboration with Universal Pictures and Fredericia Teater in Denmark to create a world premiere Silicon Valley stage adaptation of the DreamWorks Animation film of the same title. We were honored to be part of the team for this challenging task, 2017/18 SEASON 6 which marks our first experience partnering with a major st udio to create a work of this scale. And the long distance collaboration with From the Artistic Director 9 Fredericia Teater on various aspects of the physical production was a challenging but rewarding first of its own. After our production here in Mountain View 10 Director’s Notes the musical will expand to play in their theatres in Fredericia and Copenhagen next At the Edge of the Desert April, where it will feature a Danish cast performing in both Danish and English. Our Moses, Diluckshan Jeyaratnam, will star in both productions. We have also been fortunate to work again with Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, composer and lyricist of Wicked, and his son, acclaimed Broadway and international director Scott Schwartz. Both have worked at TheatreWorks several times and we are happy to celebrate their return. As you might imagine, with the involvement of two thea tres on two continents and a major international film company, planning and creation of this world premiere has been complicated, but at the same time exciting. The scale of this effort is easily demonstrated: there are 28 cast members and 100 costumes. And we are proud to know that this stage version of The Prince of Egypt is destined for future productions in a range of theatres worldwide: profession al companies, schools and colleges, youth E troupes, religious groups, and more. N R E B N I In many ways this is a milestone for TheatreWorks, demonstrating our ability to produce V E K complex productions that engage both national and international artists. The scale of O T O planning and execution has provided us new challenges in many dimensions: logistics, H P casting, costumes, orchestrations, set, sound, and lighting design, and finances.

    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA LUZ RODRIGUEZ Interviewed by JOYCE FOLLET June 16 - 17, 2006 Northampton, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2006 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Luz Marina Rodriquez was born in New York City on March 7, 1956, and grew up on the Lower East Side. She was the eldest of three children of Elsa Rodriguez Vazquez and Luis Rodriguez Nieto, Sr., who had both recently migrated from Puerto Rico as part of Operation Bootstrap. Her father held a variety of jobs, including electronics repair and night security work, while her mother worked as an Avon Lady. After graduating from Seward Park High School in 1974, Rodriguez spent two years immersed in social and cultural activities in her Puerto Rican neighborhood, which became known as Loisaida. She was deeply involved in The Real Great Society, a gang outreach and community empowerment organization created in 1964 to engage youth in addressing local needs, especially sweat equity projects to create affordable housing. She was also an active participant in CHARAS/El Bohio, a cultural center where she taught Puerto Rican folkloric dance. After studying dance at Pratt Institute, Rodriguez graduated from NYU as a dance therapy major in 1982. College research into the sterilization and birth control experimentation on Puerto Rican women planted the seed of later reproductive rights activism. Rodriguez defines herself as a servant-leader. She has continued to combine grassroots social justice work with administrative leadership in non-profit organizations, including Henry Street Settlement, Lower East Side Family Resource Center, Dominican Women’s Development Center, and Casa Atabex.

With combined box office sales of $US 1/2 billion, WICKED is already one of the most successful shows in theatre history. WICKED opened on Broadway in October 2003. Since then over two and a half million people have seen WICKED in New York and just over another two million have seen the North American touring production. The smash-hit musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award-winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman (My So Called Life, Once And Again and thirtysomething) is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone. ‘We’re delighted that Melbourne is now set to follow WICKED productions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, the North American tour and London’s West End,’ Marc Platt and David Stone said in a joint statement from New York. ‘Melbourne will join new productions springing up around the world over the next 16 months, and we’re absolutely sure that Aussies – and international visitors to Melbourne – will be just as enchanted by WICKED as the audiences are in America and England.’ WICKED will premiere in Tokyo in June; Stuttgart in November; Melbourne in July 2008; and Amsterdam in 2008.

    Press Release – For Immediate Release August 12, 2005 For More Information Contact: Cathy Renna, Fenton Communications, 212-584-5000, [email protected] New Online Effort Launched to Stop Violence Against Women Abroad Eve Ensler, Kathryn Wolford, Zainab Salbi, Christine Grumm and Others Write for www.uswomenwithoutborders.org to Influence U.S. Foreign Policy and the Media SAN FRANCISCO – Motivated by the fight of women and girls across the world to secure their rights, and hoping to build a voice of American women equipped to influence U.S. foreign policy and media, the Women’s Funding Network launched US Women Without Borders (www.uswomenwithoutborders.org) this month. U.S. Women Without Borders, is designed to help stop violence against women by shining a spotlight on the media and Washington to make sure that the impact of war, legal rights, immigration and other major social forces on violence against women’s and girls’ issues are not overlooked. “Our research confirms what we’ve known all along, women in the US have a tremendous desire to support the courageous fights by women around the world to end violence. But, until now, we’ve had little access to opportunities to make a difference. US women want to connect with women internationally and now we have a powerful tool to exercise our voices in support of their struggles,” said Chris Grumm, President of the Women’s Funding Network. Today on the website, Eve Ensler, creator of the Vagina Monologues and founder of V-Day, writes from Cairo about the opening of Bayat Hawa; the first shelter in Egypt for battered women.
