3 REMEMBERING Sidney Harman 1918-2011

This year the Shakespeare Theatre Company lost one of its most ardent supporters, Sidney Harman. His generous investment in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s mission lives on in the world-class Sidney Harman Hall, which has facilitated the continuing growth of STC and allowed for diverse performances by local, national and international performance groups to be brought to Washington, D.C.

Sidney was truly a Renaissance man, and will be remembered not only for his philanthropy and passionate support of the arts, but as a scientist, former cabinet member, entrepreneur and businessman, a pioneer in the high-fidelity business and the revolutionary founder of Harman/Kardon International.

Sidney often quoted Maxwell Anderson’s editorial: “If we are to be remembered as more than a mass of people who lived and fought wars and died, it is for our arts that we will be remembered.” Sidney Harman will always be remembered as a loyal advocate and supporter of the Shakespeare Theatre Company and the arts.

The mission of the Shakespeare Theatre Company is to present classic theatre of scope and size in an imaginative, skillful and accessible American style that honors the playwrights’ language and intentions while viewing their work through a 21st-century lens.

Our Vision

The Shakespeare Theatre Company endeavors to be an important resource to an expanded national and international community—as the nation’s premier destination for classic theatre, as a training ground for the next generation of theatre artists and as a model provider of high-quality educational content for students and scholars. Our Values We believe: • that through the power of their language and the timelessness of their themes, classic plays reflect on the human experience in ways that transcend the period in which they were conceived and remain relevant in our time.

• that the timelessness of classic plays provides infinite opportunities for contemporary theatre artists to re-interpret them.

• in staging classic plays with world-class production values.

• in discovering and re-introducing great plays into the classic repertory and commissioning new translations or adaptations.

• in building a more diverse audience for our theatre.

• in fostering an appreciation for classic theatre through our education programs.

• in using cutting-edge technology to share our work with people around the world.

• in supporting and developing actors, directors, designers and artisans who will make major contributions to the world of theatre for years to come.

• in encouraging a synergy of arts and ideas by developing collaborative programming with other institutions.

• in bringing the best of the performing arts to our audience by hosting a broad spectrum of local, national and international arts companies.

• in being responsible stewards of our resources. Photo of Chair Michael R. Klein by Kevin Allen. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Free For All production of Twelfth Night, directed by Alan Paul, revived the hilarious 2008 production, originally directed by Rebecca Bayla Taichman. Twelfth Night is a lyrical and complex comedy about love that features memorable characters, stunning language and an ingenious plot.

Many original cast members returned to be a part of the revival, alongside notable new cast members. Newcomers included Tony® Award winner Chuck Cooper as Sir Toby Belch and Sarah Agnew, a star of the Guthrie Theater, as Olivia. This year, Free For All offered 22 performances free of charge for audiences from all across the Washington area.

This 20th century classic, based on Voltaire’s satire, follows Candide as he travels through numerous countries, while experiencing great misfortunes, ultimately to learn the greatest lessons of life. With Goodman Theatre, the Shakespeare Theatre Company co-produced a new adaptation reinvigorated by director and adapter Mary Zimmerman and featuring a stunning score by Leonard Bernstein.

This production marked the first time the Shakespeare Theatre Company produced this play, completing our canon of the plays commonly accepted to have been written by Shakespeare. First produced in 1611, this play borrows from the romantic and tragicomic myth of a Celtic British king. Cymbeline follows Imogen on her search for reconciled love against the backdrop of a colorful and magical journey. Forbidden love, mistaken identities, banishment and a magic potion— Shakespeare combines multiple styles in this endlessly inventive fairy tale.

Cymbeline welcomed the return of director Rebecca Bayla Taichman (Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew), known for her bold stylistic interpretations of classic works. Taichman highlighted the fairy tale nature of the play by conceptualizing the story as a tale told to a child.

One of Oscar Wilde’s greatest plays, An Ideal Husband tells the tale of Sir Robert Chiltern, a well-regarded politician whose status as an ideal husband is threatened when evidence of a past indiscretion appears. Sir Robert turns to his friend Lord Goring who decides to take matters into his own hands.

While the play is a comedy, director, Keith Baxter (Lady Windermere’s Fan, The Imaginary Invalid), emphasized the darker elements of the play and its discussion of blackmail and political corruption. Baxter assembled an award-winning design team, including Costume Designer Robert Perdziola, to provide audiences a window into the sumptuous Victorian era of late 19th-century England.

This intimate and highly charged play is ultimately an exploration of whether we can ever really know another person, or even ourselves. The simple white-on-white set design contributed to the symbolic nature of this mesmerizing production.

This haunting production was directed by Michael Kahn and praised by critics. The Washington Post wrote in this “vibrantly theatrical production…the enigmatic beauty and humor of this 1971 piece for three actors are marvelously dramatized.” The production featured the STC debut of Holly Twyford, who has won multiple Helen Hayes Awards and been hailed by The Washingtonian as “one of the busiest and best actors in town.”

The season concluded with The Merchant of Venice, one of Shakespeare’s greatest and most controversial plays. The intriguing story of power versus revenge, justice versus mercy, and true love versus duplicity features some of Shakespeare’s most complex and memorable characters.

The Merchant of Venice was STC Affiliated Artist and director Ethan McSweeny’s first Shakespeare play with STC. His decision to set the play in the Lower East Side of New York in the 1920s helped highlight the tensions between Italians and Jews of that time. The vast physicality of the production utilized the enormous space and versatility of the Sidney Harman Hall stage.

Marking its first stop on an American tour, this powerful international hit production from the National Theatre of Scotland offered perspectives on the current conflict in Iraq. Written by Gregory Burke and directed by John Tiffany, Black Watch provides audiences with a bird’s eye view of what it is like to be a soldier in Iraq. Unique staging elements, designed to resemble a Scottish military tattoo, helped to immerse audiences in the military experience.

This production made significant and inventive use of movement, music and song to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.

Dedicated volunteers play an essential role in the daily operations of the Shakespeare Theatre Company. Volunteer opportunities are available in our administrative, marketing, artistic and education departments. In addition, during the past season more than 1,500 volunteer ushers act as ambassadors to our patrons at the theatres, including 100 new ushers who applied and went through training.

A new volunteer initiative, Shakespeare Theatre Company Student Ambassadors, was created during the 2010-2011 Season. Student Ambassadors are students from Washington- area high schools and universities who act as direct liaisons between the Shakespeare Theatre Company and their school campuses. These students spread the word about the Company’s productions, budget-friendly tickets, special events and audience-enrichment programming throughout their campuses. In its pilot year, 19 students represented the Shakespeare Theatre Company to high schools in D.C., Montgomery County and Fairfax County and universities including American University, Gallaudet University, The George Washington University and University of Maryland.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Creative Conversations provide audiences with the chance to connect deeply with the work onstage. The discussions touch upon many subjects of interest to our audiences. Some audience members attend DIVINING every discussion while others seek out their favorite productions. All together the Creative Conversations SHAKESPEARE engaged approximately 900 patrons.

Additional discussions were added during Harold Pinter’s Old Times due to audience’s interest in dissecting the play’s themes and nontraditional use of language. SHAKESPEARIENCE

In the 2010‑2011 Season, the Shakespeare Theatre Company welcomed teachers and students to experience the excitement of live performance through the SHAKESPEARIENCE Student Matinee Program. SHAKESPEARIENCE is designed to increase access to classic theatre and the theatrical process for students and teachers in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The program includes subsidized reduced-price tickets, preparatory materials and in-school workshops. Supplemental materials are provided free of charge to all participants.

11 SHAKESPEARIENCE Student Matinees were offered and a total of 4,100 students and teachers attended performances of All’s Well That Ends Well, Candide, Cymbeline and An Ideal Husband. An important aspect of SHAKESPEARIENCE is that free in–school performance workshops are given to all public schools. This season Shakespeare Theatre Company staff and Affiliated Teaching Artists taught 70 pre- and post- performance workshops to a total of 1,800 students.

The SHAKESPEARIENCE Student Matinee program allowed a greater audience to experience Shakespeare, many of whom would never have had an opportunity to engage with the Bard and other classic playwrights beyond simply reading their text in a classroom setting. Seeing a live performance brings words to life in a vibrant and visceral manner that makes students excited about learning.

In order to make classical theatre accessible to everyone, Camp Shakespeare provided more than $40,000 in scholarships.

The two-week camps are open to all students, and returning students ages 14-18 have the opportunity to experience a rigorous rehearsal process during a three-week Advanced Camp. Advanced Camp culminates with a produced show with several performances.

This summer STC invited 60 students from Teens Count, a D.C. summer youth employment program, to a special matinee performance of Advanced Camp’s showcase of The Winter’s Tale. The students in Teens Count had a lively talkback and discussion about the production and Shakespeare’s language.

This season more than 1,000 early career theatre artists, technicians and professionals, nationally and internationally, competed for the two dozen internships and fellowships offered at the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

Shakespeare Theatre Company interns and fellows maintain a rigorous full-time schedule and receive a weekly stipend to help defray the cost of living expenses. Out-of-town interns and fellows are eligible for Company-provided, fully-furnished housing on Capitol Hill. This season, 20 early career artists and professionals, travelling from as far away as Texas, Montana and Ohio, joined the Company in artistic, administrative and production departments. Upon completion of the program, many alumni have joined the Company as staff members while others have chosen to pursue careers at other notable artistic and cultural institutions throughout the country, such as the American Repertory Theatre and the Kennedy Center.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s one-year Academy for Classical Acting is the only program of its kind in the United States, conferring Master of Fine Arts degrees in Classical Acting through The George Washington University.

This season’s graduating class of 2011 marked the 11th anniversary of ACA graduates. Over the years, our 166 talented alumni have gone on to appear on the stages of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, The Kennedy Center, the Folger Theatre, Arena Stage, the Guthrie Theater, Goodman Theatre, Shakespeare Santa Cruz and dozens of other companies across the United States presenting classical theatre.

Every summer, the ACA performs two classical plays in repertory. In May 2011, the ACA staged The Maid’s Tragedy by Beaumont and Fletcher and Shakespeare’s Love’s Labor’s Lost.

ACA students benefit tremendously from growing levels of scholarship support provided by the Emerging Classical Artists Fund. The rigors of the ACA curriculum prevent degree candidates from working during their tenure at The George Washington University. To help offset the costs of earning their MFA, the Emerging Classical Artists Fund provides merit awards to ACA students so that they may complete their studies. The Fund helps train the next generation of classical actors, thus ensuring the future of classical theatre in America.

Her efforts to appeal the verdict and challenge the federal blackmail statutes as unconstitutional were ultimately overturned by popular vote.

A special session of the Supreme Court was held to hear Mrs. Cheveley’s case, presided over by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Judge Merrick Garland, Judge Douglas Ginsburg, Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Judge David Tatel.
