2020 A BENEFIT PERFORMANCE FROM THE FOUNDER & PRODUCING DIRECTOR ED HERENDEEN

I want to personally invite you to participate in our UNMUTED DIGITAL EXPERIENCE. Please join us online as we share our pre-production conversations, our preliminary design process, intimate conversations with our ED HERENDEEN playwrights and their directors, and six short 10 minute scenes.

I selected this six play repertory in January before this dangerous pandemic and before the tragic, horrific recent murders in Minneapolis, Atlanta, and across the country shattered our lives and broke our hearts.

Today we live in a damaged world. We are assaulted by hate, racism, oppression, and disease. We passionately raise our voices and shout “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” Our anger cannot be muted. Our grief will not be silenced.

Sadly, the plays I selected six months ago are more urgent, necessary, and prescient today. This is a high-stakes repertory: six passionate contemporary playwrights demanding our attention. Their plays push against the status-quo and safety. They confront: racism, gentrification, incarceration, oppression, mental health, patriotism, abuse of power, cyber terror, government accountability, climate grief, and the power and mystery of love.

Yes… this is a high stakes repertory. Personally, these plays have altered the way I think about myself. I hope that by engaging in our UNMUTED EXPERIENCE our work will have a lasting impression on you. And you will be compelled to participate in our entire 2021 REPERTORY rescheduled next July.

We look forward to creating LIVE theater with you again.

Be well. Stay Safe.

On behalf of myself and the Board of Trustees, I want to welcome you to the the ultimate digital experience: CATFUNMUTED. Nature has thrown us all a curve ball this year with the advent of COVID-19. We share with you, our audience, the MARELLEN AHERNE WITH ED HERENDEEN grief we all feel over the loss of precious lives, an understanding of the economic challenges we face, and the sadness we experience from being apart as we navigate life’s new normal.

In addition to the upheaval caused by the pandemic, the nation-wide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd have renewed the call to action for social justice and Black Lives Matter. We share with you, our audience, the grief over the senseless loss of precious Black lives. We understand that this is a time of everlasting change and are committed to creating work that has the power to move hearts and minds towards ending systemic racism.

CATF will continuously strive to provide art that matters and a safe place for positive change.

As with so many other things, the 2020 CATF experience will look different. Yet, we remain committed to our mission to produce and develop new American theater and to our vision to create the ultimate theater experience. The digital journey we bring you this year provides insight into the process of making new American theater happen.

We are deeply grateful for the loyalty and support of our patrons; our donors; our partner, Shepherd University; and the residents, town officials, and business community of our home, Shepherdstown, WV.

Enjoy! Theater lives!

P6 • JULY 2020 • CATFUNMUTED • CATF.ORG FROM THE PRESIDENT OF SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY DR. MARY J.C. HENDRIX

Although we are unable to gather on the campus of Shepherd University to partake in the Contemporary American Theater Festival, it remains my great privilege to welcome and thank you for participating in this unique digital DR. MARY J.C. HENDRIX experience, CATFUNMUTED. With the wonders of technology, we can still come together to experience and support the development of six plays, which will receive their full productions in July of 2021.

Shepherd University is honored to be the home of this world-renowned new play festival and proud of our thirty year partnership, which enhances and strengthens our academic and local community. Because of this collaboration, Shepherd’s Lifelong Learning program has robust and exciting theater classes; two of three state-of-the-art buildings of the Center for Contemporary Arts are completed; and the University offers a one-of-a-kind Contemporary Theater Studies major, which provides professional and hands-on experiences for students.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Stanley Marinoff. We are ever grateful to Dr. Marinoff and his family for their support of CATF, Shepherd University, and the Arts. Because of the support by generous and thoughtful donors like The Marinoff Family, the Arts will continue to thrive and influence our communities.

When we are able to safely get together again in the theaters on the campus, I hope you will take advantage of all that is offered by the Theater Festival, historic Shepherdstown, and Shepherd University. 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, Ph.D. SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
