WELCOME TO ETC Welcome to ETC’s 40th Season! In honor of the occasion, we are thrilled to invite back the founder of ETC, Joseph Hanreddy, to direct. In 1992, I was living in Berlin and working for a theater in the former East, assisting the director on a production of Death of a Salesman. Germany had reunited about a year earlier, and many East Germans were living under capitalism for the first time in their lives. The play was not unfamiliar to East Germans. During the Cold War, Arthur Miller was the most-produced American playwright on East German stages, and Death of a Salesman was often presented to proselytize JONATHAN FOX against America and the evils of capitalism. But now the play ARTISTIC DIRECTOR had a fresh resonance because, in the pains of reunification, East Germans were grappling with unemployment and the loss of a safety net. For me — then and especially now — it’s the play’s gimlet-eyed perception of American values, to wit, the importance placed on being “well-liked,” the equation of wealth with “greatness,” the depiction of the high school football player as heroic, and self-delusion while in pursuit of the American Dream. When Joe and I initially talked about the play, he had the exciting vision of incorporating live music into the action. Part of ETC’s mission is to look at classic plays in a fresh way. Thank you for being with us and enjoy the production!

Welcome to the third production of ETC’s 40th season. This season’s opening production of David Ives’s The School for Lies took you back to 1666. And our second production, The Legend of Georgia McBride, was set in Panama City, Florida in the year 2016. At today’s performance you’ll find yourself in post World War II America with Arthur Miller as your guide. Please count on coming to Ensemble Theatre Company’s production for some valuable time travel that brings you right back home. ETC strives to “engage audiences with compelling and thought-provoking theatrical productions.” We think this JILL SELTZER season’s offerings do just that, but we’ll let you be the judge MANAGING DIRECTOR of that. One interesting fact about this production. Death of a Salesman opened on Broadway in 1949 and ran for 742 performances. Arthur Miller died on February 10, 2005, fifty-six years to the day from Death of a Salesman’s opening night on Broadway. We hope you enjoy ETC’s production of this timeless American classic.

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

When I read Death of a Salesman in high school, I wasn’t especially interested in the theater or literature, but the story of the Lomans and parallels to our family hit me hard. At the time, my father was a longshoreman on the San Francisco docks, but previously had been a salesman. Dad was guarded about his early years and I know more about his past now than I did then. He was abandoned by his parents at a very early age, raised by an alcoholic foster mother in Chicago, and he struck out on his own at the first opportunity. When WWII broke out, he joined the Navy, serving in the South Pacific, met and married my mom after he was discharged in San Pedro, and made enough money selling typewriters and adding machines to realize his dream of working for himself. He set up as a realtor in a rented office in Victorville, but sadly, there were few people looking to invest in Apple Valley, the place he had been sure would be the next Palm Springs. He and Mom sold the dream house they’d built almost as soon as it was completed, and we moved to the Bay Area where Dad took a job as a “road man,” traveling the West Coast selling industrial adhesive tapes. After a year, he was let go and his territory given to “younger blood.” At that time, the government was hiring longshoremen to load napalm for the war in Vietnam. Dad hated the war and at his advancing age the work was rough, but after a year of unemployment, he needed a job. Depressed, he spent his evenings alone in his room smoking cigarettes, and held on to the job until he was eligible for a modest pension that, coupled with Mom’s pay as a receptionist, allowed them to get by. Like Willy Loman, Dad dreamed of greater worldly success for his son than he had been able to enjoy, or at minimum, to spare me the pain of his self- perceived failure. He pushed me hard to find a lucrative, secure job. And I chose the theater. Like Willy and Biff, we wrangled until things got uncomfortable, followed by stretches of little or no communication. Eventually Dad’s smoking habit caught up to him; he got sick during the years that I was starting Ensemble Theatre and working as a carpenter until the company had grown enough for me to take a subsistence salary. During one of our last visits, I read to him from some plays that I thought would give him a needed laugh and it brought us closer than we’d ever been. He held my hand, wished me luck, and told me he was happy I’d found something I loved. I’ve enjoyed a long run in my chosen profession, and it has blessed me with a wonderfully rewarding, fulfilling and comfortable life. Happily, my mother was long lived, and my wife and I were able to move her close to us and share much of our lives and work with her. Plays offer us the chance to imagine the lives of characters after the curtain comes down. I try to think of happy ones for Biff and Linda.

FOUNDATION SUPPORT Ann Jackson The Léni Fund Shubert Foundation Family Foundation Santa Barbara Towbes Foundation Hutton Parker Foundation Foundation Zegar Family Foundation FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT The first image that occurred to me which was to result in Death of a Salesman was of an enormous face, the height of the proscenium arch, which would appear and then open up, and we would see the inside of a man’s head. In fact, The Inside of His Head was the first title. It was conceived half in laughter, for the inside of his head was a mass of contradictions…. The Salesman image was from being absorbed with the concept in life that nothing in life comes “next” but that everything exists together and at the same time within us; that there is no past to be “brought forward” in a human being, but that he is his past at every moment and that the present is merely that which his past is capable of noticing and smelling and reacting to. I wished to create a form which, in itself as a form, would literally be the process of Willy Loman’s way of mind. But to say “wished” is not accurate. Any dramatic form is an artifice, a way of transforming a subjective feeling into something that can be comprehended through public symbols. Its efficiency as a form is to be judged – at least by the writer – by how much of the original vision and feeling is lost or distorted by this transformation. I wished to speak of the salesman most precisely as I felt about him, to give no part of that feeling away for the sake of any effect or any dramatic necessity. What was wanted now was not a mounting line of tension, nor a gradually narrowing cone of intensifying suspense, but a bloc, a single chord presented as such at the outset, within which all the strains and melodies would already be contained. The strategy...was to appear entirely un-strategic. If I could, I would have told the story and set forth all the characters in one unbroken speech or even one sentence or a single flash of light. As I look at the play now its form seems the form of a confession, for that is how it is told, now speaking of what happened yesterday, then suddenly following some connection to a time 20 years ago, then leaping even further back and then returning to the present and even speculating about the future.

He has collaborated with the Santa Barbara Symphony on their Shakespeare and Valentine’s Day concerts, and recently directed their production of The Soldier’s Tale. He directed ETC’s production of Bad Jews in 2016 and The Invisible Hand in 2018, both of which traveled to Frankfurt for their German premiere. Other European productions include Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Streetcar Named Desire, Visiting Mr. Green, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at The English Theatre Frankfurt, and Old Wicked Songs, Crimes of the Heart, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Vienna English Theatre. Before joining ETC, Mr. Fox spent 12 years with Two River Theater Company in New Jersey, which he helped establish in 1994. He served as Managing Director of the company from 1994-99, and subsequently became its Artistic Director. For Two River, he directed their 2016 world premiere production of Lives of Reason. His production of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was profiled in American Theatre Magazine, as was his festival of work by Samuel Beckett. His directing work has been seen in New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Cologne, and has received critical acclaim in The New York Times, Variety, the LA Times, and other publications. He received his MFA from Columbia University, and is a recipient of the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship. He has served as an adjunct faculty member in theater departments at UCSB, Columbia University, University of Utah, and Monmouth University.

Ensemble Theatre Company began as the Ensemble Theatre Project in 1978 under the direction of Joseph Hanreddy. For the first three years, plays were performed at Trinity Episcopal Church. In 1981, ETC made the 140-seat Alhecama Theatre its home for more than 25 years. Beginning in 2009, ETC undertook a $12.6 million renovation of the Victoria Hall Theater. It opened its new 300-seat home, the New Vic, in 2013. The New Vic has become a venue for dance, music, film, and lectures. After Joseph Hanreddy left Santa Barbara in 1985, Robert Grande Weiss became Artistic Director, a position he held until his retirement in 2006. Jonathan Fox assumed the position of Executive Artistic Director in September 2006 and saw the company through great expansion. Jill Seltzer joined ETC as its Managing Director in 2016. ETC, which became an Equity theater in 1989, is Santa Barbara’s sole professional theater company. The company, which presents five or six plays per season, has produced several American and West Coast premieres and has garnered numerous awards over the years.

Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) was founded in 1913 as the first of the American actor unions. Equity’s mission is to advance, promote and foster the art of live theater as an essential component of our society. Today, Equity represents more than 45,000 actors, singers, dancers and stage managers working in hundreds of theaters across the United States. Equity members are dedicated to working in the theater as a profession, upholding the highest artistic standards. Equity negotiates wages and working conditions and provides a wide range of benefits including health and pension plans for its members. Through its agreement with Equity, this theatre has committed to the fair treatment of the actors and stage managers employed in this production. AEA is a member of the AFL-CIO and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of performing arts unions. For more information, visit www.actorsequity.org.
