Artistic Director’s Welcome DIANE PAULUS, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome to The Last Two People on Earth! This production has been created by four extraordinarily talented artists: Broadway, film, and television veteran Mandy Patinkin; performer and writer Taylor Mac; director/ choreographer Susan Stroman; and music director Paul Ford. It began when Mac and Patinkin met and realized they shared a love for the same songs. As the team developed the piece over many years, climate change—especially in the wake of Hurricane Sandy—emerged as a theme in the show. The environment has been an important topic at the A.R.T. this season. In partnership with Harvard University’s Center for the Environment, we are committed to exploring work that raises questions about our changing planet and our future. It is a joy to have Taylor Mac back at the A.R.T. Mac embodies the spirit of the A.R.T., transcending boundaries with his work, both as performer and writer, as he did in his groundbreaking production of The Lily’s Revenge in our 2012/13 Season. And it is a thrill to welcome the legendary Mandy Patinkin to our stage for his A.R.T. debut. His voice is nothing short of a gift to the musical theater, and he continues to inspire us with his versatility as an actor, both on stage and in his acclaimed work on Showtime’s Homeland. Thank you for being a part of this experience!

FOUNDING DIRECTOR Robert Brustein

About the A.R.T. The A.R.T. at Harvard University is a leading force in the American theater, producing groundbreaking work in Cambridge and beyond. The A.R.T. was founded in 1980 by Robert Brustein, who served as Artistic Director until 2002, when he was succeeded by Robert Woodruff. Diane Paulus began her tenure as Artistic Director in 2008. Under her leadership, the A.R.T. seeks to expand the boundaries of theater by programming events that immerse audiences in transformative theatrical experiences. Throughout its history, the A.R.T. has been honored with many distinguished awards, including the Tony Award for Best New Play for All the Way (2014); consecutive Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical for Pippin (2013) and The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess (2012), both of which Paulus directed; a Pulitzer Prize for 'Night, Mother (1983); a Jujamcyn Prize for outstanding contribution to the development of creative talent; the Tony Award for Best Regional Theater; and numerous Elliot Norton and IRNE Awards. The A.R.T. collaborates with artists around the world to develop and create work in new ways. It is currently engaged in a number of multi-year projects, including The National Civil War Project, an initiative that culminates in the staging of new work this season. Under Paulus’s leadership, the A.R.T.’s club theater, OBERON, has been an incubator for local and emerging artists and has attracted national attention for its innovative programming and business models. As the professional theater on the campus of Harvard University, the A.R.T. catalyzes discourse, interdisciplinary collaboration, and creative exchange among a wide range of academic departments, institutions, students, and faculty members, acting as a conduit between its community of artists and the university. A.R.T. artists also teach undergraduate courses in directing, dramatic literature, acting, voice, design, and dramaturgy. The A.R.T. Institute for Advanced Theater Training, which is run in partnership with the Moscow Art Theater School, offers graduate-level training in acting, dramaturgy, and voice. Dedicated to making great theater accessible, the A.R.T. actively engages more than 4,000 community members and local students annually in project-based partnerships, workshops, conversations with artists, and other enrichment activities both at the theater and across the Greater Boston area. Through all of these initiatives, the A.R.T. is dedicated to producing world-class performances in which the audience is central to the theatrical experience.
