Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3) Program by American Repertory Theater

2014/15 Season

#FatherComesHome @americanrep

Artistic Director’s Welcome DIANE PAULUS, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome to Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3), a new drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. We are thrilled to be partnering with The Public Theater in New York, where this staggeringly powerful new play enjoyed a critically acclaimed run this past fall. I am delighted to welcome back Suzan-Lori Parks to the A.R.T. for the first time since we collaborated on The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess (2011/12 Season). Suzan-Lori is a force—a prolific and penetrating writer with a truly unique voice. The first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in drama (in 2002, for Topdog/Underdog), she vividly re-imagines stories at the heart of the American canon. In projects including The America Play (A.R.T.'s 1993/94 Season), In the Blood, and 365 Days/365 Plays, Suzan-Lori delves into this country's cultural and historical past. Suzan-Lori joins forces with director Jo Bonney, an incredible team of designers, and a remarkable cast of actors to craft this production. Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3) is a trilogy of plays that is conceived as part of a larger cycle, which will eventually comprise nine parts, traversing the course of American history from the Civil War to the present day. As the classical and the contemporary collide, this Greekinspired trilogy traces the havoc wrought by war on long-held notions of individual and national identity. It forces us to explore questions about our society, ourselves, and the true cost of freedom. Enjoy Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3)—and, as always, thank you for joining the experience at the A.R.T.!

THE NATIONAL CIVIL WAR PROJECT AT A.R.T. César Alvarez and Edwin Lee Gibson in Futurity (2011/12 Season)

PHOTO: EVGENIA ELISEEVA

Over the past three seasons, the American Repertory Theater has commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Civil War by developing new work that reexamines this critical moment in our nation’s history. Through a series of roundtable discussions, readings, and world premiere productions, this initiative has explored not only the Civil War itself, but also the ways in which that conflict continues to resonate in our lives today. Since 2012, the A.R.T. has been a part of The National Civil War Project, a multi-year, multi-city collaboration among five performing arts organizations and four leading universities: A.R.T. and Harvard; Alliance Theatre and Emory College Center for Creativity & Arts at Emory University in Atlanta, GA; Arena Stage and The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.; Center Stage in Baltimore, MD; and The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. Inspired by choreographer Liz Lerman (who was in residence at Harvard in 2011 to develop her own Civil War dance project, Healing Wars), The National Civil War Project brought together a range of artistic and academic voices with the goal of commissioning new work that speaks to the themes of the Civil War and civil strife as it continues today. As the professional theater at Harvard University, the A.R.T. is in a unique position to explore the ways in which artistic innovation and scholarly research can inform each other. Guided by Harvard President Drew Faust’s idea that the arts should play a central role in the cognitive life of the university, the A.R.T. convened a series of Civil War roundtable discussions that brought scholars from Harvard and beyond into dialogue with directors, choreographers, writers, composers, and performers, with the goal of generating public dialogues, readings, and productions at the A.R.T., and new courses in the university curriculum. The playwright Suzan-Lori Parks was a participant in the first roundtable, a conversation co-hosted by the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research that explored Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Subsequent roundtables focused on “Medicine, Weaponry, War Wounds, and The Soldier’s Body,” and “Documenting the Civil War through Photography, Letters, Memoir, and Painting,” a discussion co-hosted by the 10 Harvard Art Museums.

Work generated by The National Civil War Project at the A.R.T. has included:

World Premiere Productions: Futurity: A Musical by The Lisps, an indie-rock, sci-fi musical about a Union soldier who collaborates with the mathematician Ada Lovelace to end the war. (Mar. - Apr. 2012, OBERON) The Boston Abolitionists Project, an ensemble-devised piece about the trial of fugitive slave Anthony Burns, featuring the A.R.T. Institute Class of 2013. (May 2013, The Ex) Father Comes Home From The Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3), the first three parts of an epic new play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. (Jan. - Mar. 2015, Loeb Drama Center) Crossing, an opera written and composed by Matthew Aucoin (Harvard '12), inspired by the journal Walt Whitman kept as a nurse during the Civil War. (May - June 2015, Citi Shubert Theatre)

New Work Developed: War Dept., a musical by Ruth and Jim Bauer set in Ford’s Theater after the assassination of President Lincoln. War Dept. was selected to be part of the 2014 National Music Theater Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. Four Harriets, a play by Harvard University Professor Timothy P. McCarthy, about the intersecting lives of four abolitionist women: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Wilson, Harriet Jacobs, and Harriet Tubman. (Reading, Spring 2015).

New Work Devised and Produced by the A.R.T. Community Connections Program: The Proclamation Project, a collaborative creative writing/ performance intensive for local high school students, who draw inspiration from the Civil War and other themes and events from American history. The inaugural July 2013 workshop was simultaneously conducted with the Alliance Theatre's Collision Projection, a program for Atlanta area teens. Each week, via Skype, both groups shared their process and exchanged ideas on the legacy of the Civil War in America. Proclamation 2 (Nov. 2014) was inspired by themes of rebellion, protest culture, and radicalism. The group of students used The Radical Reader as their source text and worked with A.R.T. artists and Harvard University Professor Timothy P. McCarthy to devise a new piece. Proclamation 2 premiered at OBERON and focused on an Occupy Wall Streetstyle protest that asked the question, "Will you join up or will you turn away?"

New Courses at Harvard University: “History and Literature 90x: Staging the Civil War — From the Archive to the A.R.T.” This new seminar taught by Professor Timothy P. McCarthy will explore how contemporary writers and directors are using history to find new and creative ways to tell the story of the American Civil War on stage. (Spring 2015) “Dramatic Arts 105: Production

Dramaturgy and A.R.T. Civil War Project” This seminar taught by A.R.T. Director of Artistic Programs/Dramaturg Ryan McKittrick will give students opportunities to engage dramaturgically with work in The National Civil War Project. (Spring 2015)

Public Dialogues: “All the Way: The Civil Rights Act from 1964 to Today,” a conversation moderated by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. , Director of the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard University, during the run of Robert Schenkkan’s All the Way, a play about LBJ and the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Co-hosted by the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research and the A.R.T. (Sept. 23, 2013) “All the Way?: The Unfinished Struggle for Civil Rights,” a conversation with playwright Robert Schenkkan, Harvard Law School Professor Lani Guinier, Tufts University Professor Peniel E. Joseph, and Harvard University Chief Diversity Officer Lisa Coleman. (Oct. 22, 2014)* “Fighting for Freedom: The Civil War and Its Legacies,” a conversation with Columbia University Professor Eric Foner and Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (Feb. 8, 2015, following the 2:00PM matinee of Father Comes Home From The Wars*

* These conversations are part of The A.R.T. of Human Rights, a collaboration between the A.R.T. and the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, directed and hosted by Harvard University Professor Timothy P. McCarthy, and supported by a project grant from Mass Humanities. Upcoming discussions include: “Our Bondage, Our Freedom: Abolishing Modern-Day Slavery,” and “With Malice Toward None: Wounded Warriors and the Future of Peace”

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; 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 will culminate 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.
