Thank you for being a part of our first ever Gilbert and Sullivan!

It’s official: with my retirement on September 1, Park Square will be in the creative hands of our third Artistic Director! Our new creative leader will inherit a 2018-2019 season full of exciting artistic partnerships.

We will work with distinctive newcomers Theatre Coup d’État and PRIME Productions, as well as old friends Flying Foot Forum and Girl Friday Productions.

The season’s firsts will include regional and world premieres on both stages that range from the profound presence of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass to the silly stresses of a small-town talent contest in a world premiere musical created and driven by Millennials.

The great storytelling by accomplished directors and writers that you’ve come to expect from us will continue. So far, we’ve signed up directors Wendy Knox, Signe Harriday, Laura Leffler and Joel Sass – and smart writers, from our own Shanan Custer and Carolyn Pool to the venerable Thornton Wilder and Agatha Christie.

I’m excited to hand off to a new generation all that Park Square has become: • A creative home for an astonishingly diverse roster of Twin Cities artists; • A smart audience – keen for artful entertainment, diverse in style and rich in content; • An extraordinary educational program for teens; • An ambitious artistic anchor and vibrant non-profit with impact beyond our region.

Thanks for your role in bringing us to this day and for propelling us into another era of distinguished “firsts”!

Richard Cook, Artistic Director 651.767.8482 | [email protected]

OUR MISSION is to enrich our community by producing and presenting exceptional live theatre that touches the heart, engages the mind and delights the spirit.

5 INTERVIEW with the DIRECTOR

As rehearsals were underway, director Doug Scholz-Carlson chatted with feature writer Matt DiCintio about virtuosity, stodgy old plays, and women who aren’t in history books. “ Pirates is one of those pieces that endures for generations.” What drew you to Could you describe how Pirates The Pirates of Penzance? is getting “out of the museum?” This nine-actor version is something The opera is beautiful and a lot of fun, I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and but it’s still relevant to us today. Gilbert I’ve always thought this scale was and Sullivan were writing social satire in possible. It’s exciting to see virtuosity, a playful way we can learn from. In our going to the theatre and seeing people current political climate our humor is do something you don’t think they can based on pointing fingers and being mean do. The music is famously demanding in ways that can be divisive. Gilbert and and really beautiful, and in this version, Sullivan are gentle. What they’re satirizing the characters are writing the script as also is relevant: the contrast between the they go. way we live in respectable society and the inconsistencies in people’s behavior. Gilbert And that’s your major conceit. Tell us and Sullivan were always pointing out about how you’re adapting the opera. hypocrisy, the sense of duty versus following I don’t want the opera to be a museum your heart. In the opera a sense of duty piece, so I wanted to go back to the leads the police into battle, but it’s the elites impulse, to what it must have felt like who send them. Someone else makes the when the music was fresh. We’re trying sacrifice. The piece doesn’t hammer that to find the inventive energy of when point, but it pokes at it in a playful way that something is created, and that can be makes us think. difficult to capture with a play people know well. Pirates is one of those pieces And how does the casting make that endures for generations. I think Pirates feel new? about what it’s going to feel like to do The most notable change we’ve made is Hamilton in a hundred years. How will to cast a woman, Christina Baldwin, as the producers struggle to make that ‘stodgy Major General and Sergeant of Police. As I old play’ as fresh? How do we take plays was researching, I realized that Helen Lenoir out of the museum? had a major role in Gilbert and Sullivan’s

W.S. Gilbert Helen Lenoir Blanche Roosevelt Arthur Sullivan

The Pirates of Penzance was the first Gilbert and Sullivan opera to officially premiere in the United States. At the time, America did not offer copyright protection to foreigners and when their previous opera, H.M.S. Pinafore, was produced over 100 times by unauthorized companies, the duo knew they had to mount their next opera in America before it could be copied. The Pirates of Penzance title is an intentional jab at the theatrical “pirates” who had staged unlicensed productions of H.M.S. Pinafore.

English producer Richard D’Oyly Carte brought Gilbert and Sullivan together and nurtured their collaboration alongside his co-collaborator and later wife, Helen Lenoir. Lenoir was a brilliant producer, legal consultant, and confidant for the creative duo, and was able to smooth out the differences between them better than anyone else.

Sullivan composed The Pirates of Penzance by completing Act II before creating sketches for Act I. However upon arrival in New York he discovered he left the sketches for Act I behind, and so he had to reconstruct from memory. He finished the score, with the help of conductor Alfred Cellier, on the day of dress rehearsal with the ink hardly dry. Sullivan entered the orchestra, in his own words “more dead than alive,” but got better when he took the stick in hand. Sullivan wrote to his mother: The libretto is ingenious, clever, wonderfully funny in parts – beautifully “ written for music, as is all Gilbert does. The music is infinitely superior in every way to the Pinafore – ‘tunier’ and more developed, of a higher class altogether. I think that in time it will be very popular. ” 7 CAST CHRISTINA BALDWIN* Opera: La Rondine Training B.M., Vocal Helen Lenoir/Major Performance, University of Connecticut; General/Sergeant M.M., Vocal Performance, University of Park Square Calendar Minnesota Accolades/Other 2016 District Girls, Ragtime, Winner, Metropolitan Opera National Grey Gardens, Well Council Auditions; 2015 First Place Representative Theatre Nautilus Music- Winner, Thursday Musical Competition Theater: The Fantasticks, Sister Stories; Upcoming Projects Mankato Symphony: Ten Thousand Things: Dear World; The West Side Story; The Glimmerglass Moving Company (MoCo): Liberty Falls Fesitval: Silent Night 54321; Jungle Theater: The Oldest Boy; Guthrie Theater: Refugia (MoCo), Roman ZACH GARCIA Holiday, A Christmas Carol, The Pirates of W.S.
