2018/19 SEASON 5 ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

Even a story like Anything Goes carries with it the question of WHY — why reinterpret this for now? Washington needs a comedy right now and who better than Cole Porter, with the charm and sophistication of songs like “” and “You’re the Top.” Plus, I haven’t directed a true comedy in many years and the tap dancing is sublime… all wonderful reasons, but…. Why NOW? Because we’re in an “anything goes” moment in America right now — where anybody can be whatever they want to be as long as you say you are — mobsters walk amongst us and are celebrated like Kings. Anything Goes is about our American obsession with celebrity, religion and how con men can fool most of the people most of the time. The topsy-turvy nature of the world in 1934 is mirrored with America today. Crooks like John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde were sensational celebrities who were also mobsters. Their obsession with celebrity at any cost is the same as our world today. The stock market and the rise and fall of people who duped the system on wall street was as prevalent then as it is now. The rise of the 1% apes our own time and the nation was just pulling out of the — much like America coming out of our Great Recession. Cole Porter chronicled all of this with his dark wit making the high life look like the only life to live. And what a sensual, seductive world it was — one we aim to underscore through the style of everything from the costumes to the dance. I love the fact that this musical has it all from to high and low comedy to satire about the state of America today. It’s delicious. No less than five of Cole Porter’s songs in Anything Goes became real bona fide hits and still are today. Anything Goes is no stranger to change. The original script included a bomb threat, a shipwreck and a desert island, but when the SS Morro Castle caught fire causing the death of 138 passengers and crew, the book was quickly changed before its 1934 Broadway debut. Subsequent revivals in 1962, 1987 and in 2011 also saw major script and score changes. There is wicked wit and satire here and we aim to mine these areas in the production. Please turn to page 10 to see how we’ve been reinventing the gold standard musical over the past two decades. I feel fortunate to be working with my long term creative collaborators: choreographer Parker Esse, music director Paul Sportelli, and our designers, Ken MacDonald (sets), Alejo Vietti (costumes), Kimberly Purtell (lighting), Anita Maynard-Losh (Text Director and Associate Director), Sue White (stage manager) and an incredible of artists, all wonderful theater makers for Arena. Thank you for joining us, and welcome aboard the SS American. Bon Voyage!

2018/19 SEASON 7 FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

In April of 2011, the most recent revival of Anything Goes opened on Broadway; it would go on to win the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. In the same season, , Founding Director of Arena Stage, presented the SDC Foundation’s Zelda Fichandler Award. There she said, “ We exist for our audience; they are the terminus of our work. Otherwise we wouldn’t turn on the lights every night and could save some money. But in order to serve them, we have to have something to say …. We have to be of them, but in the perception of the world around us and the world that is inside of them, we have to be ahead of them. They can’t do our field work for us. I don’t hold much by questionnaires about what audiences want to see. How do they know until they see it?” One of our founding principles is that our theater is a place where everyone should feel welcome. When we plan our season, we have at least four audiences in mind: our musical and event driven audience, fans of American classics, those interested in new work, and our African-American audience. This is not to say there isn’t overlap between these audiences; rather, we have an opportunity to vary our programming, to give each audience member that astonishing moment. In past seasons, productions such as , Oliver! and ! captured the interest of our musical theater fans. Those captivated by new work have seen Snow Child, Sovereignty and The Originalist from our Power Play Commission initiative and should look forward to this season’s JQA. Plays such as Turn Me Loose, Two Trains Running and A in the Sun comment on the African American experience. Finally, fans of the classics have loved performances of The Little Foxes and , and are sure to enjoy this season’s The Heiress. And how lucky for our subscribers, they get to see it all! In practice, Arena is proud to reach a wide range of audience members. Of our single ticket buyers, our audience is roughly 60% female. We are proud to say that in addition to the large number of our audience members who are people of color, over half of our writers and directors are consistently women and people of color. Arena Stage regularly welcomes participation from all eight wards of D.C. and sees audience members from around the . Parallels can be drawn between Arena’s audience and the demographics of Broadway’s audience. Broadway sees an audience that is roughly 66% female, and 23% of tickets were purchased by non-Caucasian theatergoers, a benchmark that Arena has exceeded for decades. Don’t let statistics and numbers speak for themselves though. Look around at the community of which you, the audience member, are a part. One of our core values at Arena Stage is to champion diversity throughout the organization and within the community. We take on the great responsibility of ensuring the stories we share, and those we share them with, are reflective of America. I hope you enjoy Anything Goes as much as we enjoyed planning and producing it all for you! Warmly,

Edgar Dobie Executive Producer President of the Corporation

2018/19 SEASON 9 TIMES HAVE CHANGED REEVALUATING, REINVENTING AND RECREATING THE GOLD STANDARD MUSICAL AND ANYTHING GOES BY MOLLY SMITH, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR | IN COLLABORATION WITH ANITA MAYNARD-LOSH, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR

The Gold Standard musical has stood the test of time and is muscular in Action and Interpretation its approach to storytelling, music and dance. Think of those you've seen at Arena Stage over the past twenty years from to Carousel. In the first Gold Standard musical I directed at Arena Stage, South Pacific, I staged the overture to set up the conflict between the Any Gold Standard musical produced in the round in the Fichandler needs to be reinvented. native islanders and the US military, touching on the issue of Why? Because each of these musicals was written for a proscenium stage where the audience colonization. Because our production of happened during sits full-on as if looking through a picture frame. The Fichandler is a space about community. At the Iraq War, we were able to draw connections between the Arena, we are always aware of the audience and see the play through their eyes and the eyes of violence and cruelty of the Nazis in the 1930s and how America's the artists. It's a dynamic, fast-paced space that is a radical departure from a proscenium stage. Bill of Rights was actively being threatened in 2006. In Carousel, The Gold Standard musical reflects the world of its original writers and the times in which it was we clearly leaned into the domestic abuse in the script, and written with its beautiful songs, incredible dance numbers, clever and perceptive writing, and made it visible, instead of glancing over the issue. years of production history. To reinvent the musical, one needs to see the story from today's point In Anything Goes we looked for ways to subvert the roles of of view. In these times, the darker side of Gold Standard musicals becomes apparent as they Luke and John, two roles that are racially insensitive, to give frequently mirror the misogyny and prejudice of the times in which they were written — times that them more power within the world of the play, opening them were not the "good old days" for everyone. up as more complicated and realistic characters rather than I have found three specific ways to reinterpret these wonderful musicals for today's audiences: stereotypes.
