Native Gardens 30 Theater Staff Program Book Published September 15, 2017

Cover Illustration by Nigel Buchanan Program Book Staff Anna Russell, Director of Publications Shawn Helm, Graphic Designer ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

I have just come back from a rejuvenating visit to our cabin in Alaska, and I’m excited to continue this season with Karen Zacarias’ Native Gardens after John Strand’s The Originalist. In Alaska we literally share a back yard with bears (yes, grizzly bears, the big brown ones) and I witnessed them fishing for spawning salmon, greedily mowing down bushes of blueberries and eating sedge grass. But that was nature … not our country. The events of the last few weeks have been horrifying to watch and hear. Our country is continuously examining what it means to be American and the values that are important to our country and our families. How we advocate for these values says a lot about us individually and collectively. Although Native Gardens has a narrower focus, our relationships with our neighbors feel the strain of many stresses. These relationships may bring out the territorial grizzly in each of us, exposing parts of ourselves we don’t like or parts of ourselves that we do. Karen’s genius as a playwright is showing us real people with honest reactions to daily life. Who hasn’t complained about the way a neighbor keeps the lawn or cleans their back yard? What happens when it’s not just about the yard, and ultimately about how we view each other? Karen and I first worked together on an Arena show in 2009 withLegacy of Light. While we knew each other as artists, our first collaboration was her beautiful play Arena commissioned about science, the stars and the heavens from a scientific female perspective. When I think about the many artists I’ve collaborated with over these 20 years, Karen is definitely a stand-out. She’s clever and smart. She writes plays about real people — and she writes about women. She’s an important voice for our time, and a special friend for me. The whole country is awake and politically active in a way I haven’t experienced in my lifetime, making this the most exciting time to be producing plays. Arena is a theater that welcomes people from every walk of life and all political leanings. Theater involves a search for truth, not the hiding of it; a critique of power, not the exercise of it; an invitation to conversation and insight, not a shutting down of dialogue. We are sharing this production with our friends in Minneapolis at the Guthrie Theater. It’s a pleasure to work with artistic director Joe Haj and talented artists from a sister theater. This is also a collaboration with director Blake Robison, formerly of Round House Theatre and now artistic director at Cincinnati Playhouse. Blake and Karen’s work together is incisive — and funny. At Arena Stage, we commit to making art more powerfully and more provocatively than ever before. The arts have always been on the front line of fight against fear. You, our audience, drive us forward with the roars we hear each night, the provocative discussions in the lobby, the soul- searching questions. We go to the theater to be entertained and even to escape, but the theater also makes sense of the world, especially in times of unrest and chaos. We go to our writers for an inside and outside view. It’s truly wonderful to launch Karen’s play, set in D.C. — which just might bring out the bear in each of us. All Best,

Molly Smith, Artistic Director

4 2017/18 SEASON FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

We are faced with big questions almost every day these days. In leading any organization, it is important to have a clear VISION, MISSION and a strongly held set of CORE VALUES to guide — in our case — a resident theater. Although available elsewhere in our communications, I want to restate these guiding principles: VISION: Arena Stage’s vision is to galvanize the transformative power of theater to understand who we are as Americans. MISSION STATEMENT: Arena Stage is alive as a center for American Theater in our nation’s capital with productions, diverse and innovative works from around the country and the nurturing of new plays. Our focus is on American artists. We produce and present all that is passionate, exuberant, profound, deep and dangerous in the American spirit. We explore issues from the past, present and future that reflect America’s diversity and challenges. These are voiced through the productions we create, the work we develop, the presentations that move beyond our stages, and community and education programs that engage artists, students and audiences. CORE VALUES: yy Create a work culture that reflects and borrows from the culture of the rehearsal hall which values experimentation and collaboration yy Pursue excellence in all aspects of our endeavor yy Flourish by building a healthy, dynamic and powerful artistic community yy Create and steward financial resources to enable a vital Arena Stage yy Champion diversity throughout the organization and within the community yy Strive to instill in the public life long love and participation in the theater arts yy Serve artists; the national, regional, and local communities; and theater through effective partnerships and collaboration at the most sophisticated and professional levels yy Cultivate an engaged, diverse, and responsive board, staff, audience and community Over the course of the season in my program notes I will focus on one or two of our core values to illustrate how we live our values and apply them to the decisions we make. Any feedback you may have is most welcome. My contact information is below my signature. I could not be happier than I am at our decision to open this new season with Karen Zacarías’ play. It rings all our core value bells! Hope you enjoy the season! Warmly,

Edgar Dobie, Executive Director [email protected]

2017/18 SEASON 5 MOLLY SMITH’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON CELEBRATING 20 YEARS AS ARENA STAGE’S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Arena Stage’s 2017/18 season marks the 20th anniver­sary season of Molly Smith as Artistic Director. Her appoint­ment as the third artistic director in Arena’s history was announced on December 4, 1997 and met with great enthusiasm. Riley Temple, past president of Arena Stage’s Board of Trustees and the chair of the search committee commented, “We’re thrilled at the notion of having Molly Smith as Artistic Director. She is absolutely the type of leader that Arena needs to take it into the next century.” Molly was equally excited stating, “I am thrilled to become part of this history.” Prior to Arena, she founded Perseverance Theatre in Alaska and had served as its Artistic Director for 19 years. Arena, under her leadership, has focused on the diverse work of the Americas and American writers. “There is no theater in America that is dedicated to American writers,” stated Molly. “Why do we go to Washington? We go to learn what the American mind is: the ideas, drives and passions that make us American.”

During her time at Arena, Molly Smith has directed more than 30 productions, workshopped over 100, produced 39 world premieres, staged numerous second and third produc­tions and been an important part of nurturing nine projects that went on to have a life on Broadway, including 2017 Tony Award winning musical, Dear Evan Hansen. Additionally Sweat (2017) and Next to Normal (2010) were recipients of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In 2014, Molly made her Broadway debut directing The Velocity of Autumn, following its criti­cally acclaimed run at Arena Stage.

What inspired the play’s premise? It’s sounds hilarious — and insightful. It was party small-talk that inspired the idea for Native Gardens. My friends were talking about a strange altercation that had happened with a neighbor and other people started bringing up their crazy neighbor stories and it struck me that these small, intense fights have many of the ingredients for the bigger battles happening in the world today. There is something both primal and absurd at the root of all these conflicts.

Photo by Beverlie Bord, You’re tackling race and privilege in the play — which are obviously not unique to Satsun Photography. D.C., but why did you set the play in Washington, and what is it about our city, its neighborhoods and people that make it a rich story for telling this type of story? I’ve always wanted to set a raucous comedy in our unique backyard of Washington D.C. Comedy is disarming; it can shed light on our personal foibles and allows us to examine “thorny” subjects without getting defensive. We are a city that does serious important work ... but sometimes that translates into residents feeling self-important. Being reminded to laugh at ourselves is fun, humbling, and vital; I think it is a sign of self- awareness and a remedy for intractability. It’s healthy to laugh and relax. Really. Do fences really make the best neighbors? Or is it something else entirely? What makes a good neighbor? I would say thoughtful consideration and good communication probably do a lot more for neighborly relations ... and a fence may or may not be a part of it. Also, bringing over wine and cookies never hurts. What do you hope audience members will take away from this play? First, I hope people laugh and have a rollicking great time. It’s really exciting to see how vested and verbal the audience becomes. And then I hope the discussion goes all over the map — from mosquitos, mulch, and gardening to immigration, class, and privilege. I would love the audience to discuss the idea of what is an American in this day and age in the . And to enter of discussion of how we can live respectfully alongside each other ... especially in this Join us for a post-show political climate. conversation with the artists on: SEPTEMBER 27, 2017 12:00 P.M.
