DIRECTOR’S NOTE A spiritual samaritan lives knowing that if we were to leave this world tomorrow, we were the best humans we could be and we touched the lives of as many souls as possible. We are not asked to be perfect. We are asked to make a difference. –Molly Friedenfeld, The Book of Simple Truths
MY FATHER USED TO TELL ME EVERY holiday season, that on first release (December 25, 1946) Frank Capra’s film, It’s a Wonderful Life, received mediocre reviews, was a financial flop, and didn’t receive a single Oscar. In fact, it wasn’t until the year of my birth (1954) that It’s a Wonderful Life hit its stride. After explaining this to us for the umpteenth time, like clockwork, our family would watch it again. Together. Dang. I miss him. And depending on where I was in my human evolution the movie would mean something different to me. (I do wish I could go back and apologize for my teenage years when I rolled my eyes and said things like “stupid” and “cheesy.” Sorry dad. Truly.) This year it feels BIG that I get to direct it. Not just for nostalgic reasons but
because WE need it. Increasingly, it seems, we live in a world where the demonization of the other is the norm and our beautiful crayon box has shrunk to only two colors. I need to believe, that in America, the true value of It’s a Wonderful Life has been recognized. It won’t make your everyday troubles go away, but hopefully, it’ll remind you that kind acts, both big and small, do ripple. And to cherish your life, your family and friends. And to remember, like the early life of the movie, you never know when failure will shift and evolve into the biggest triumph of your life. Happy Holidays, y’all. Beth Harper
ARTISTS REP is implementing the practice of including gender pronouns in playbills and other general communication for those who feel comfortable gender identifying. Using someone’s pronouns correctly is an important part of showing respect, just like using someone’s correct name. It’s normal to feel challenged by adjusting when someone changes pronouns, learning pronouns that are new to you, or using pronouns that are different than the way you perceive someone. While it may require you to stretch outside of your comfort zone, using respectful gendered pronouns is a critical way that you can begin to re-examine assumptions about gender that particularly harm LGBTQ communities.

LUAN SCHOOLER Dramaturg Luan Schooler (she/her/ hers) was born in West Texas, where she trailed her big sister into dance classes and community theatre. When she was 12, the family packed up and moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where play practice and recitals continued to consume her. After being kicked out of high school, she was eventually accepted into the theatre program at CalArts. One thing led to another and a life in theatre was launched. Over the years, she morphed from acting, directing and writing, into dramaturgy and literary management. She has worked with many theatres around the country, most notably with Perseverance Theatre in Juneau, Alaska (where she met and married the marvelous Tim), Denver Center Theatre Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Berkeley Rep, and developed new plays with exceptional artists including David Edgar, Naomi Iizuka, Salman Rushdie, Dominique Serrand, Leon Ingulsrud, Lisa Peterson, Paula Vogel, and Molly Smith. In the Mid-Aughts, she took a sabbatical from theatre to open a cheese shop, but happily left it behind to return to theatre. In 2015, she joined Artists Rep to launch Table | Room | Stage, the theatre’s new play development program. Here, she is developing work with Yussef El Guindi, Larissa FastHorse, Andrea Stolowitz, Linda Alper, Dael Orlandersmith, Hansol Jung, Steve Rathje, Anthony Hudson, and Susannah Mars.

NOV 25 - DEC 30 Death tells Everybody that their time is up. But Everybody doesn’t want to greet Death alone, so Everybody seeks the company of their friends Stuff, Kinship, Friendship, Cousinship, and Love to make the trip bearable. From the scintillating mind that brought you An Octoroon, Everybody is an audacious riff on the 15th century morality play Everyman. Of the robust 10-person cast, five brave actors will play a multitude of roles with their characters chosen by lottery onstage every night — with a possible 120 combinations — as they fight to cheat Death.

“...WHENEVER MR. LEW’S UPDATE QUESTIONS OR COMPLICATES SHAKESPEARE’S ASSUMPTIONS, EVEN IF THAT MEANS DEPARTING FROM HIS TEMPLATE, IT IS RIVETING.” -JESSE GREEN, THE NEW YORK TIMES
High school is hard enough, but when you have a power hungry 17-year old threatening to overthrow anyone in his way to becoming junior class President, it can be downright murderous. Richard is the king of insults and after alienating the only friend he has, he relies on himself to snatch the crown while securing the heart of the ex-girlfriend of the popular high school quarterback. As Richard struggles to keep all of his plots from going awry, he gains an ally in the most unlikeliest of suspects. Touchingly hilarious, Teenage Dick is the modern comedic re-telling of Shakespeare’s Richard III, and ponders if it is better to be loved or feared.
