GARRARD “The world only spins forward.” —Tony Kushner, Angels in America On behalf of the CATF Board of Trustees, welcome to Shepherdstown and the 28th season of the Contemporary American Theater Festival! We’re delighted you’re here to experience another season of fearless art, daring and diverse stories, and the profound dynamic we know will result between the audience, the artists, and the work. PAUL S. GARRARD There is no doubt you will be talking and thinking about this season’s plays for years to come. However, this professional theater located in the oldest town in West Virginia is about so much more than just the plays. CATF is a festival, which means you are part of a celebration! You have now become part of the CATF community, a wonderfully inclusive group of your fellow citizens who want to be entertained, who want to be challenged, and yes, who want and need to be disturbed by what they see, hear, and feel. The trustees, the company, and our gifted CATF staff have worked tirelessly to ensure your experience at CATF is a memorable one; one that is true to our mission of producing and developing new American theater. We are indeed nationally and internationally known, but I would humbly submit that our success is your success, and it is your support that contributes to both. Please know that your generosity is never ever taken for granted. The entire company — from the set and costume designers; to the builders and electricians; to the interns, painters, directors, actors, and of course the playwrights — they are all dependent on you, the audience, to experience the art they have created and that you become part of, all of which makes CATF so unique. CATF is profoundly grateful to the entire town of Shepherdstown for embracing the Festival and to Shepherd University for its unwavering partnership, without whom CATF simply could not do what we do. My personal thanks to our remarkable trustees who make my role as President such an easy one and to our former trustees on whose shoulders we stand. Once again, welcome to Shepherdstown and CATF! 6 Blackwell Realty Board of Trustees 2018 Contemporary American Theater Festival BOARD OF TRUSTEES PAUL S.

    1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives The Cake Rises, Partway Sylvie Drake · Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017 Sometimes you get lucky. This happens when events beyond your control unexpectedly slide into your orbit with an altogether wondrous effect. Which is pretty much what happened when playwright Bekah Brunstetter got an idea for a play about a bake shop whose deeply religious owner is asked to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple — at a time when the politics of the day were buzzing with cases of similar real-life situations. But Brunstetter, a successful TV producer and writer (NBC’sThis Is Us and Starz’s American Gods), went a step further in her play,The Cake. Della, the baker, has known and cherished the young woman who’s about to be married since she was a baby. So imagine her consternation when she discovers that this beautiful child she so adores is about to marry… a woman. That’s the situation, a little complicated and very perplexing. Cultural Daily - 1 / 6 - 07.08.2021 2 Debra Jo Rupp in The Cake. In a New York Times interview, Brunstetter said she had been working on the idea for this piece since 2015. It gained traction when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission — a 2012 case involving a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. Brunstetter, who grew up in a devout and happy Southern Baptist family in Winston-Salem, makes no bones about feeling caught in the middle — with an enduring appreciation for the warm Christian embrace she knew as a child and still enjoys, and the gay perspective that she has grown to appreciate as a straight adult.

  • Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, Dramaturg
    Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, dramaturg Section I Clifford Odets: A Striving Life Clifford Odets was born in Philadelphia, on July 18, 1906, the son of a working-class Jewish family made good. Louis Odets, his father, had been a peddler, but also worked as a printer for a publishing company. In 1908, Louis Odets moved his family to New York City, where, after a brief return to Philadelphia, he prospered as a printer and ended up owning his own plant and an advertising agency, as well as serving as a Vice President of a boiler company. Odets grew up in the middle-class Bronx, not the Berger’s Bronx of tenements and squalor. Still Odets described himself as a “melancholy kid” who clashed often with his father. Odets quit high school after two years. When he was 17, Odets plunged into the theatre. He joined The Drawing Room Players and Harry Kemp’s Poets’ Theater. He wrote some radio plays, did summer stock, and hit the vaudeville circuit as “The Roving Reciter.” In 1929, he moved into the city because of a job understudying Spencer Tracy in Conflict on Broadway. A year later Odets joined the nascent Group Theatre, having met Harold Clurman and some of the other Group actors while playing bit parts at the Theatre Guild. The Group philosophy became the shaping force of Odets’ life as a writer. Clurman became his best friend and most perceptive critic. Odets wrote the first version of Awake and Sing!, then called I Got the Blues, in 1934.

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.

  • Aactfest History
    AACTFest History AACTFest had its beginnings in 1957. At that time, the first World Festival of Amateur Theatre (Le Festival Mondiale du Théâtre Amateur) was held in the principality of Monaco under the high patronage of Their Serene Highnesses Prince Ranier and Princess Grace. The World Festival of Amateur Theatre was, and is, the official festival of the International Amateur Theatre Association (AITA/IATA). The typical American definition of amateur, implying a relative lack of skill, is not accepted by AITA/IATA. Amateur is used in the context of “to love”; thus, an amateur is one who does something for love and pleasure rather than for monetary remuneration. While AITA/IATA handles the international aspects, the festival itself is almost entirely a Monégasque production organized by the Studio de Monaco, home of the Cercle Artistique Monégasque d’Amateurs de Théâtre. Random theatres from America took turns representing the U.S. at this quadrennial international event. After eight years, the World Festival organization contacted the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA). Through the offices of Princess Grace, ANTA was asked to provide input as to what theatres from the U.S. should attend the World Festival. ANTA felt it would be more appropriate to pass the invitation on to the American Community Theatre Association (ACTA). ACTA was the community theatre division of the seven- year-old American Theatre Association (ATA) umbrella organization. (In 1965 ACTA consisted of approximately 12 to 14 community theatres and had a membership of 40 to 50.) Howard Orms, the President of ACTA, contacted several theatres with no success.

Nonpartisanship is a cornerstone principle that has strengthened the public’s trust of the charitable community. In exchange for enjoying tax-exempt status and the ability to receive tax-deductible contributions, 501(c)(3) organizations – charitable nonprofits, including religious congregations, and foundations – agree to not engage in “any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” That provision of law protects the integrity and independence of charitable nonprofits and foundations.
