FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome to Center Theatre Group Matthew Bourne and Tracy Letts are both among the best in the world at what they do, and it’s a privilege and an honor to have the work of two brilliant creators of theatre onstage at Center Theatre Group in February. In 1997, Center Theatre Group introduced America—and Los Angeles—to director/choreographer Matthew Bourne by bringing his groundbreaking Swan Lake to the Ahmanson direct from the West End. Since then, we’ve presented 10 Bourne works at the Ahmanson (some highlights appear on page 18), and we’re proud to call Sir Matthew a Center Theatre Group Associate Artist. He’s a musical theatre revolutionary, and he continues to amaze me with his ability to surprise us with classic tales like his Cinderella. Tracy Letts is not new to Center Theatre Group; our audiences loved seeing his August: Osage County at the Ahmanson fresh off its 2008 Tony Award® and Pulitzer Prize. He is, however, making his Taper debut now with the very funny and thought-provoking Linda Vista. It’s exciting to me to welcome Tracy to the Taper alongside a terrific Steppenwolf Theatre Company ensemble, including Ian Barford, who appeared in Dead End—the first show I produced at the Ahmanson when I joined Center Theatre Group in 2005. Steppenwolf Artistic Director Anna D. Shapiro is also an Associate Artist with us, and I’m looking forward to continuing to collaborate with her and her ensemble. I hope you enjoy yourself at the theatre. Sincerely,

Michael Ritchie

INTRODUCING OUR

30 TO CURTAIN PODCAST How did playwright Dominique Morisseau convince Temptation Otis Williams to trust her with his life story for the book of Ain’t Too Proud? Why did Eliza Clark stop writing a play about an alien abduction and start writing a tale of a doctor/talk show host’s fall from grace that became Quack? What puppets did Zoot Suit and Valley of the Heart creator Luis Valdez hone his ventriloquist skills on in high school? And what’s the best use of your time as you drive to the theatre to see a Center Theatre Group show?

Center Theatre Group’s new podcast, “30 to Curtain,” hosted by Artistic Director Michael Ritchie, answers all these questions and more as we sit down for interviews with some of the greatest theatre makers from around the world. Our podcast aims to bring our audiences direct, intimate access to the amazing talents we work with every day across the Ahmanson, Taper, and Douglas. We’re not only talking with artists currently onstage at Center Theatre Group but will also be featuring voices from our past, present, and future to highlight over 50 years of bringing groundbreaking theatre to Los Angeles. Our debut episode featuring Dominique Morisseau was recorded just after the announcement that Ain’t Too Proud (which played the Ahmanson August 21 – September 30, 2018) was heading to Broadway and a few weeks before the playwright was named a MacArthur “Genius.” Ritchie talked with the Detroit native about the arc of her career and her creative process. “How much research do you want to do?” asked Ritchie. “Do you want to be accurate when you sit down to write a play?” “I do want to be accurate,” said Morisseau. “But as I’m writing, I realize that sometimes the facts get in the way of the truth. Facts will make me a slave to this day and this moment, but I won’t actually get underneath it and get to the heart of what that moment was really about. …I’ve developed the mantra, ‘I’m not a slave to the facts, I’m a slave to the truth.’” Ritchie also brought together Quack playwright Eliza Clark and director/Associate Artistic Director Neel Keller to discuss the development of the comedy at Center Theatre Group before its World premiere at the Douglas October 21 – November 18, 2018. “The relationship between a playwright and a director on a new play is almost like a marriage,” said Ritchie. “Is the honeymoon over? On both sides, how do you navigate developing that relationship?” “It has been really fun to be able to do workshops of the play knowing we were going to have a production. That’s not a thing that happens all the time in theatre and has been a real blessing,” said Clark. “I really only end up doing plays that I’m really excited about, and that’s a gift because it makes the relationship with the playwright so much easier,” added Keller. “You feel like the playwright has caught a certain magic in a bottle, and it’s just about what you can do…to help her realize as fully as possible that magic.” Curious about Luis Valdez’s ventriloquist days? You’ll have to listen to “30 to Curtain” to learn more! Find it on most major podcast platforms, including iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, and Stitcher, or stream it on SoundCloud.

NURTURING L.A. ARTISTS AND HONORING THEIR CHAMPIONS

The Dorothy and Richard E. Sherwood Award Carries on a Family’s Legacy of Support (L–R) Ben Sherwood, Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, choreographer/director and 2007 Sherwood Award recipient Ameenah Kaplan, and Dorothy Sherwood.

THIS FALL, THE CENTER THEATRE GROUP FAMILY, AND THE LOS ANGELES ARTS COMMUNITY, LOST A LONGTIME CHAMPION WITH THE DEATH OF DOROTHY SHERWOOD. To honor her contributions, we are renaming our Richard E. Sherwood Award—which Dorothy established in memory of her husband, the longtime President and Chairman of the Center Theatre Group Board of Directors—the Dorothy and Richard E. Sherwood Award. This $10,000 award is given annually to nurture innovative and adventurous theatre artists working in Los Angeles.

“My mother was an avid supporter of the arts in Los Angeles. She was particularly devoted to Center Theatre Group, where she and my father enjoyed the best of contemporary theatre for decades,” said Ben Sherwood. “She was deeply interested in young theatre artists and championed innovative and adventurous new work, which is why she first established an award in her husband Richard’s name to encourage and support emerging theatre artists with exceptional talent. My sister Elizabeth and I hope to honor this legacy with the Dorothy and Richard E. Sherwood Award that will now carry both of their names.” Twenty artists—including playwrights, directors, producers, designers, and multimedia artists—have received the Sherwood Award since 1996. They have gone on to push the boundaries of theatre in Los Angeles and around the country ever since, including here at Center Theatre Group, where we continue to collaborate with many of them. The award is designed to honor a local artist at a catalytic moment in their career, with a focus on innovation, experimentation, craft, and a distinct artistic voice.

Performance artist, comedian, and writer Kristina Wong is the recipient of the 2019 Dorothy and Richard E. Sherwood Award; she was honored at the LA STAGE Alliance Ovation Awards on January 28, 2019. This year we also recognized performer, Watts Village Artistic Director, and Cornerstone Theater Company Associate Artistic Director Bruce A. Lemon Jr and director Marike Splint as finalists. We are proud that the Sherwood Award also features a professional fellowship for an emerging and aspiring arts professional. Our Sherwood Fellow aids in the administration and coordination of the award, receives a mentorship with our staff, and is exposed to contemporary work around L.A. in the process. The award reflects the generous spirit of the Sherwood family; Dorothy Sherwood was deeply involved in the curation and selection process, hosting salons at her home for many of the artists, traveling to theatres around Los Angeles to support new work, and ensuring that the award would truly help recipients. “This gift is somewhat unique in Los Angeles in that it gives artists funds to do whatever they want or need; it supports their vision, without parameters or restrictions, at a crucial point in their careers,” said Center Theatre Group Artistic Director Michael Ritchie. “We are grateful to the Sherwood family for their generosity, which will allow us to continue to make an impact on Los Angeles theatre in the memory of two people who devoted so much of their lives to our community.”

“Block Party celebrates the spirit of adventure and exploration that is the hallmark of theatre in Los Angeles.” —Kitty Swink, Antaeus Theatre Company

Block Party 2019 kicks off with Theatre of NOTE’s production of For The Love Of (or, the roller derby play) by Gina Femia, directed by Rhonda Kohl (onstage March 7–17, 2019). It’s the story of a young woman who joins a roller derby team and must decide how much she’s willing to risk to follow her heart. With an all-female cast, creative, and design team, For The Love Of “has a cultural makeup that we feel represents greater L.A.,” said Theatre of NOTE Artistic Management Committee Member Alexis DeLaRosa. “This production’s inclusion and representation are what we all should aspire to.” Added Artistic Management Committee Member Lynn Odell, “We are thrilled to be able to present our production to a much larger audience.” DeLaRosa and Odell, along with Bill Voorhees, Sierra Marcks, David Wilcox, and Fiona Lakeland, comprise Theatre of NOTE’s Artistic Management Committee, which leads this democratic ensemble of L.A. theatre artists, who operate out of a black box theatre in the heart of Hollywood. The company was founded in 1981, and is dedicated to creating work that challenges its ensemble and audiences and to telling culturally diverse stories that accurately reflect L.A. Next up is Skylight Theatre Company’s production of Rotterdam by Jon Brittain, directed by Michael A. Shepperd (onstage March 28 – April 7, 2019). “Every day we hear debates over human rights, conversations about including/ excluding, who belongs and who doesn’t,” said Executive Director Sandee Grossman. “The right to affirm one’s identity is at the forefront of those debates.” Co-Artistic Director Tony Abatemarco added, “Rotterdam reveals some of the challenges faced by a person who is transitioning and explores how that transition affects those close to them.” For over 33 years, Skylight has been developing and producing new work for their Los Feliz stage and expanding the boundaries of mainstream theatre. “We are always looking for new artists and compelling contemporary works

that take the pulse of our time and our city, stories that help reveal what it means to be human,” said Producing Artistic Director Gary Grossman. “We’re hoping to gain new audiences through being a Block Party participant, but we also hope to expand our capacity to launch the plays we develop into more theatres regionally and nationwide.” The third and final Block Party 2019 run is Antaeus Theatre Company’s production of Native Son by Nambi E. Kelley, adapted from the novel by Richard Wright, and directed by Andi Chapman (onstage April 18–28, 2019). Set in 1930s Chicago, it is the story of a black man’s longing for social justice that eventually ignites his rage. “Antaeus is a classical theatre ensemble, used to doing Shakespeare, Chekhov, and Shaw—but we’re thrilled to present a modern, cinematic adaptation of the classic American novel Native Son that reimagines what a ‘classic’ can be,” said Co-Artistic Director Bill Brochtrup, who leads Antaeus alongside Co-Artistic Directors Rob Nagle and Kitty Swink. Participating in Block Party is a homecoming of sorts for Antaeus, which is based out of the newly opened Kiki & David Gindler Performing Arts Center in Glendale. The company was founded as a project of Center Theatre Group in 1991 and remains an actor-driven company. “Block Party celebrates the spirit of adventure and exploration that is the hallmark of theatre in Los Angeles,” said Swink. “We’re excited to be a part of it!” Center Theatre Group is excited and honored to be bringing these companies and productions to our audiences, who may not be familiar with them, as well as to new audiences who perhaps aren’t familiar with us.

Block Party receives generous support from Aliza and Marc Guren with generous funding also provided by Joni and Miles Benickes. Block Party is also made possible in part by a Culver City Performing Arts Grant with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment. 16 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

But Center Theatre Group audiences have had many chances—10 in fact—to experience his works since 1997, when they became the first Americans to see his groundbreaking dance theatre and his ingenious adaptations of films and fairy tales via his daring Swan Lake. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights from this prolific director/ choreographer’s past productions to appear at the Ahmanson, which is proud to be his North American home.

SIR MATTHEW BOURNE (Artistic Director, New Adventures; Associate Artist, Center Theatre Group). Matthew Bourne is widely hailed as the UK’s most popular and successful choreographer and director. He is the creator of the world’s longest running ballet production, a seven-time Olivier Award winner, and the only British director to have won the Tony Award for both Best Choreographer and Best Director of a Musical. Matthew started his dance training at the comparatively late age of 22 and danced professionally for 14 years, creating many roles in his own work. As Artistic Director of his first company, Adventures in Motion Pictures from 1987 until 2002, Matthew created many award-winning works. Further hit productions were created when New Adventures was launched in 2002, becoming the UK’s busiest and most successful dance company and the major exporter of British dance across the world. Matthew is also a West End and Broadway choreographer; a more than 20year relationship with producer Cameron Mackintosh has resulted in the globally successful musicals Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady, and Oliver! Since 2008, the company has also delivered projects and workshops for people of all ages and abilities to thousands worldwide, every year, as part of the company’s ambitions to develop and nurture new audiences and the next generation of artists. In 1997 Matthew was made an Honorary Fellow of his former college, The Laban Centre, becoming a Companion of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2012. He has seven Honorary Doctorates from The Open University, the De Montfort, Plymouth, Kingston, and Roehampton Universities, as well as the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. In June 2018 Matthew became the first choreographer to receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from University of Oxford. He is also a Companion of Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and a proud patron of many organizations, including The Arts Educational School, Laine Theatre Arts, CREATE, and National Youth Ballet. In 2015 he became the first dance figure to be given The Stage Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Theatre presented by the UK Theatre Awards. In 2016 he was presented with the Critics Circle Distinguished Service to the Arts Award and the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award in recognition of his outstanding services to ballet. He was knighted in the Queen’s 2016 New Year Honours for services to dance.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV (Composer) was born in Sontzovka, near Ekaterinoslav, on April 23, 1891 and received his first musical training from his pianist mother. His first composition was written at the age of seven, and for a while he studied privately with Reinhold Glière before entering the St. Petersburg Conservatoire at the age of 13. His teachers there were Anna Essipova (piano), Anatol Liadov (harmony and counterpoint), Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (orchestration), and Nikolai Tcherepnin (conducting). He was outstanding both as a pianist and as a composer, and he graduated from the Conservatoire in 1914 excelling in both capacities, as soloist in his own First Piano Concerto—the modernity of which disconcerted the more conservative of the examiners, although it won him the Rubinstein Prize. That same year, Prokofiev travelled to London, where Russian music was very fashionable: Chaliapin and Diaghilev were both active, but initial attempts to persuade Diaghilev to mount Prokofiev’s opera The Gambler were unsuccessful. Prokofiev returned to Russia and wrote two ballets for Diaghilev, Ala and Lolly (which Diaghilev refused) and Chout (intended as a replacement); other works from this period include the perennially popular Classical Symphony, Prokofiev’s First, and Violin Concerto No. 1—he had found his mature style very quickly. The turmoil of the Revolution (on which Prokofiev seems to have looked upon with some favor— though he later admitted he hardly realized what was at stake) drove him from Russia and early in 1918 he made his way to America; his stay in the West was to last for 17 years. In the early 1920s he married the Spanish-born singer Lina Llubera and established himself in Paris, composing between international tours as a pianist. The works that emerged—the operas The Love of Three Oranges (1919) and The Fiery Angel (1919–27), the Second, Third, and Fourth Symphonies (1924–25, 1928, 1929–30), the ballets Pas d’Acier (1925–26), and The Prodigal Son (1928–29)— showed that his style could embrace an enormous range of expression; from a childlike lyricism via fantastic whimsy and motoric rhythms to an angular expressionism—and Prokofiev was always an entirely natural melodist. In spite of a hugely successful visit to the Soviet Union in 1927, coinciding with a well-received production of The Love of Three Oranges, Prokofiev returned to the West once more, to his usual round of concertizing and composing, writing and playing the last of his cycle of five piano concertos. In 1936, Prokofiev made the fateful decision to return to the Soviet Union—“like a chicken to the soup,” in the words of Dmitri Shostakovich. With his initial sympathy for the goals of Soviet society, he felt that the composer ought to offer something directly relevant to the people, and he cast around for suitably Soviet subjects. Although his massive Cantata

for the 20 Anniversary of the October Revolution was rejected by a committee of Soviet censors, Prokofiev enjoyed considerable success as a composer of film scores (Stalin’s preferred art form) and some of his bestknown music first appeared for this medium: Lieutenant Kijé (1934) and the cantata Alexander Nevsky (1938–39), refashioned from his score for Eisenstein’s epic. For a few years he found renewed favor—with a 1940 staging of his now-classic ballet Romeo and Juliet, completed four years earlier—but in February 1948 his career came to a crashing halt when the Zhdanovshchina that heralded a tightening of state control over cultural affairs condemned him, Shostakovich, and several others as “formalists.” Prokofiev had suffered a severe concussion in a fall in 1945, with permanent effects on his health, and his precarious physical condition combined with political disfavor to make his last years unhappy ones, despite the championship of some courageous young musicians, Mstislav Rostropovich and Sviatoslav Richter among them. Although he continued to compose right up to his death, he was denied one final satisfaction: his death, on March 5, 1953, occurred only hours before that of Stalin. The 125 anniversary of Prokofiev’s birth was in 2016. Sergei Prokofiev is published by Boosey & Hawkes. Reprinted by kind permission of Boosey & Hawkes. TH

GROWTH

LOVE

OPPORTUNITY

FRIENDSHIP

LAUGHTER

We champion all of life’s moments. What connects us and brings us closer together. All that makes us different, and yet, very much the same. That’s why, for the last 100 years, we’ve provided our communities with the life-changing disability services they need. Today, we honor that legacy with an eye to the future — the next 100 years. And we’re committed to building a world where everyone is 100% included.

All abilities. Limitless possibilities.

Lacking the fi ne corsetry tradition and chic lingerie culture of our European sisters, we have been sold a bill of cheaply made goods. While dispiriting for ladies in the A–C cup range, this is a full-blown disaster for fuller busted gals.

BAD FIT

GOOD FIT

ASSOCIATE CIRCLE (CONTINUED)

A [Fig. A ] The woman on the left is

wearing a properly fitted, cut and sew, underwire bra made in Europe. The wire rests comfortably under the breast and against the body, encasing all of the breast tissue. She can barely feel it. The band fits snug and level, taking most of the weight off the shoulders. Her breasts are centered and lifted, lengthening the waist, and creating a lean and shapely silhouette.

B [Fig. B] The woman on the right

has gone to a department store to be fitted. They don’t carry her size (32G), so they gave her what they called a “sister size”: 38DD. The band is far too loose and the cup is allowing her breasts to push out at the sides and bottom. The loose band has ridden up to her shoulder blades and all the weight is on her shoulders.

Sponsors Center Theatre Group is grateful to these companies for their generous support.

Los Angeles —the cultural hub of the country — is home to America’s most diverse population and more entertainment options and venues than anywhere else in the U.S. A s one of the nation’s largest performing arts centers, and as a cultural and civic anchor in Los Angeles County, The Music Center convenes artists, communities and ideas with the goal of deepening the cultural lives of every resident in the county. To help realize its vision, The Music Center is poised to become a multidisciplinary arts center for the 21st century, not only as a home for classical art forms, but also as a driving artistic voice for diversity and inclusion that reflects and responds to the ever-evolving landscape of Los Angeles. Through compelling programs that are relevant to a range of audiences, serving Los Angeles in all its breadth, The Music Center is both the home and the force behind some of the greatest creative expression today.
