O

ver the last 39 years, we have made theatre in supermarket basements, union halls, discos, and nightclubs, in spaces ranging from Chelsea to Union Square to Broadway. On this journey, we have learned that each theatre building has its own distinctive personality, a unique character that is shaped by the theatre artists and fictional characters that inhabit the space. The theatre-going experience is immeasurably enhanced when the production fits beautifully in the space in which it is staged. This is a notion we have seen proven true time and again.

The 2003-2004 season was a landmark for Roundabout. This year, we were thrilled to produce all our work in three permanent homes. After decades of pursuing this dream of operating our own spaces, the diverse works our mission demands can now be paired with the theatres that best suit their needs. Our three distinctive houses, each with its own character, each on its own West Side street in midtown, together make our home. Our theatres include an elegant, classic space with 740 seats, the American Airlines Theatre; a contemporary, intimate off-Broadway house, the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre/ Laura Pels Theatre, with 420 seats; and a stylish, distinctive theatre for musicals and large-scale productions, Studio 54, which accommodates 920 patrons. As proud as we are of cementing Roundabout’s physical future, we’re equally delighted with the character and variety of the work that appeared on our stages last year. The American Airlines Theatre, Roundabout’s home for classic works, featured three 20th century works well suited to the theatre’s confines. Here, first-class plays by Harold Pinter, Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, and Arthur Miller graced the stage. At the Laura Pels Theatre, our home for new works, two plays received their

New York premieres to critical and audience acclaim. And, at Studio 54, our new home for musicals and large-scale productions, we started a new, post-Cabaret chapter in the theatre’s history with our Tony Award-winning production of Assassins. As with any new home, the work doesn’t stop after you move in. Expect Studio 54 and the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre to receive more renovations to make them as flexible and technologically up-to-date as possible. While all of our real estate challenges were finally being solved, we continued to transform our City’s public high school classrooms into creative havens. We opened two new small schools last year in partnership with the New York City Department of Education, the Bronx Theatre High School and the Brooklyn School for Music and Theatre, and have just opened a third theatre-based high school, Manhattan Theatre Lab, this fall. We have always known that theatre brings people together; these students are proving this theory on a whole new level. Meanwhile, we continue to send teaching artists into schools, help teachers hone more theatrical lessons, invite students to join us at the theatre, and develop internship opportunities, among many other efforts. As we look toward our 40th anniversary, Roundabout is proud to have earned an enduring place in the cultural landscape of New York City. We would not be where we are today without the continued involvement of so many individuals, corporations, foundations, and government agencies. Our tireless Board of Directors and devoted staff deserve added praise for their incredible work this year. We particularly would like to thank Patricia Wolpert as she leaves the Board and joins our Advisory Council, and would like to welcome Perry Granoff, Mark Manoff, Chip Seelig, Mary Solomon, and Steven Sanders (on his return) to the Board. Join us now as we take a look back at all we have accomplished together this year. And for all of us at the theatre, thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Steven F. Goldstone Chairman of the Board

AMERICAN AIRLINES THEATRE Urbane Renewal Throughout its history, Roundabout has chosen to revisit the great classics and the newer contemporary classics of the theatrical canon. To revive a great play, theatre artists balance respect for the original’s past with innovative accommodations to the present. Therefore, every revival becomes a creative act of re-interpretation, a new translation, to fit each era and age. These classics aren’t simply dusted off and propped up on the stage. Each revival is a work re-envisioned, elevated to a new level. For the last four years, Roundabout’s classic revivals have been staged at the American Airlines Theatre, which was itself revived and renewed just a few years ago in a $25 million renovation effort. Built as the Selwyn Theatre in 1918, the building required installation of up-to-date, modern amenities and technological enhancements while preserving its historic spirit. Traditions were to be respected but reinterpreted. The theatre’s murals were carefully restored, and box seats were re-installed. State-of-the-art lighting, sound, and communications systems were added, as were contemporary penthouse lounges for patrons’ comfort. With these amenities, the American Airlines Theatre continues to be a fitting home for classic plays. During the 2003-2004 season, three great 20th century plays were given 21st century productions in this elegant theatre. Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker took the stage last fall. Starring Patrick Stewart, one of the world’s finest actors, and a talented cast including Kyle MacLachlan and Aidan Gillen, who was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play, the production fit neatly in a house of the American Airlines Theatre’s dimensions. With its 740 seats on two levels, audiences were close enough to the stage to feel like flies on the wall of the ramshackle attic apartment in which Pinter’s classic takes place.

PAGE 2

Often, an opportunity to revive a play occurs when contemporary artists seek to reimagine the original. Playwright Ken Ludwig and director Walter Bobbie adapted and streamlined Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s 1938 comedy, Twentieth Century. Even better, it brought Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche back to the stage, where Roundabout audiences had the opportunity to experience their substantial talents up close. Both Baldwin and Heche reveled in the opportunity to return to their theatrical roots, and Twentieth Century offered them roles that were ideally suited to them. The theatre itself and John Lee Beatty’s set design for the Twentieth Century Limited transported audiences to a bygone American era as smoothly as that luxury train carried passengers across the continent. As the century changed, so did Americans’ main method of travel. For the first Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's After the Fall since it debuted in 1964, director Michael Mayer chose to set the surreal play that takes place in the mind of the main character in the TWA Terminal at the old Idlewild Airport. This imaginative new vision for the play attracted Peter Krause, who made his Broadway debut as Quentin. Krause and a cast featuring the talented Carla Gugino, Jessica Hecht, and Vivienne Benesch introduced the seldom-staged, challenging play to a new generation of theatre-goers. In all, the 2003-2004 season at the American Airlines Theatre served as an ideal example of what Roundabout strives to offer its audiences each year. Here, patrons enjoyed three extremely different productions, none of which could or would have been seen elsewhere on Broadway. All three, however, offered audiences a uniformly high quality theatrical experience. During next season, and those beyond, Roundabout will continue its unending pursuit of these high standards that artists and audiences have come to expect.

HAROLD AND MIRIAM STEINBERG CENTER FOR THEATRE/LAURA PELS THEATRE An Intimate View New plays have been part of Roundabout’s mission since 1995, giving established, mid-career playwrights the opportunity to produce new work. Since 1999 when Roundabout was evicted from the Criterion Center, the theatre has searched for a new off-Broadway facility for its Laura Pels Theatre, the company’s home for new work and lesser-known classics. In 2003, Roundabout signed a 20-year lease on a multistory complex of theatre spaces and offices on 46th Street, just three quarters of a block east of Broadway. There was one problem: the place was a mess, in a state of total disrepair. It hadn’t been renovated since its opening 40 years ago, and little care had been given to the infrastructure. Roundabout determined it needed to raise $7 million to resuscitate the theatre, its rehearsal rooms, and its office spaces. And there wasn’t much time because the first play was scheduled for March 2004.

Immediately, Roundabout’s stalwart supporters stepped to the fore, with the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust leading the way. Appropriately, the theatre center these generous benefactors made possible now bears their names. The mainstage theatre is named after Laura Pels, one of Roundabout’s most extraordinary supporters and Board members. Making the building even more of a family affair is the fact that refreshments are available in the Bruce Mitchell Lobby, named after the late longtime Roundabout Board member, or in the Yegen and Donnalley Lounge, named after Chris Yegen and Bob Donnalley, two of the theatre’s most steadfast supporters and Board members from its earliest years. The theatre that became the new Laura Pels was constructed originally as a single-level, steeply raked 350-seat house. The

PAGE 6

biggest change to the theatre was to replace an old sound and technical booth with a balcony for additional seating. At the same time, the facility was equipped with new technical equipment and electrical and HVAC systems. The 420-seat plan and vastly improved amenities allow Roundabout’s subscribers an intimate vantage on exciting plays like the two that debuted in 2004: Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel and Steven Dietz’s Fiction. The two could not be more different on the surface. Fiction is a contemporary exploration of a mature marriage between two European-American writers, one of whom is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Nottage’s play is a period piece about an African-American seamstress who has accepted her spinster status only to be wooed out of her isolation and then betrayed. Both plays are linked, however, by their explorations of the human struggle for reciprocal love and the need to maintain hope even amid the most heart-rending deceptions. It's not easy to watch a heart break from the back of a cavernous Broadway house, but the vantage point offered from any seat in the Laura Pels Theatre made experiencing the awardwinning performance of Viola Davis in Intimate Apparel all the more extraordinary. The job on 46th Street is not completely finished. Roundabout is now working to raise an additional $1 million to complete the complex. Although the Laura Pels Theatre is up and running and several Roundabout offices, including its education department, are comfortably housed on site, the 75-seat Black Box Theatre is still a work in progress. It will be home to staged readings and experimental works, as well as a venue for workshops and rehearsals for the 4,500 students and teachers served by Roundabout's education department.

STUDIO 54 Musical Overtures Theatre folk have long been known for being overly superstitious: the ban on whistling backstage and actors’ refusal to refer to Macbeth by its proper name are two well-known examples. Theatres are also believed to be haunted. That’s why the single, standing bulb left lit on an empty stage is called a “ghost light.” Such atmospherics are found in abundance at the theatre now known as Studio 54. Built as a legitimate theatre in 1927, the 1,200-seat Gallo Opera House, as it was originally known, became home to such infamous ventures as television’s “The $64,000 Question,” most remembered for spawning the quiz show scandal, and the nightclub Studio 54, the decadent symbol of 1970s and ‘80s excess. At different times in between it was the nightclub Casino de Paris, a British music hall called the Palladium, the Federal Music Theatre, and the New Yorker Theatre. Roundabout played to the house’s strength in November 1998 when it moved its revival of Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret, the spirited salute to pre-Nazi Berlin nightlife, into the theatre. Indeed, the house’s spectre-filled environment and each night’s audience became characters in the Kit Kat Klub, all part of director Sam Mendes’ original conception. As Cabaret’s record-breaking run drew to a close, Roundabout purchased Studio 54 to make the former disco its home for musicals and large-scale productions. In April 2004, the haunting Stephen Sondheim John Weidman musical, Assassins, became the first production to open at Studio 54 under Roundabout’s ownership. The production made history in other areas, too, taking home the most Tony Awards of any show during the 2003-2004 season, five in all, including the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical.

P A G E 10

At first, Weidman had doubts that Studio 54 and its cabaretstyle orchestra seating would be an appropriate fit for the Broadway revival of Assassins. It soon became clear, however, that Studio 54’s funky air was the perfect setting for a songand-dance spectacle whose characters are all actual and would-be American presidential assassins. In fact, Weidman eventually became concerned that Roundabout's planned renovations for the theatre might in some way alter the unique character of the space. The planned renovations for the theatre are very much in keeping with Roundabout’s continued commitment to improve the comfort of its audiences and artists alike. The estimated $10 million makeover over the next five years will update the building’s infrastructure and revitalize its technical systems while adding amenities for audiences and artists. In addition to the improvements already put in place for its first two productions, including re-making the nightclub into a theatre with 920 seats, Roundabout will upgrade or replace the lighting grid and sound systems. New carpeting, paint, plaster, and a new marquee will welcome audiences. Patrons will have new lounges and gathering spaces. The heating and air conditioning system, all the plumbing, and the roof are among the planned replacements. And thanks to the success of Mendes’ Cabaret configuration, the orchestra level will remain flexible, allowing directors to choose traditional or cabaretstyle seating arrangements. When finished, Studio 54 will be the only flexible seating theatre space on Broadway. Through these renovations, however, a few things will remain the same. The rich, gritty, fascinating history of Studio 54 has made it the theatre it is today, and Roundabout’s plans will keep intact this matchless character for future generations. And, most importantly, the quality of the productions staged at Studio 54 will continue to be top-notch, furthering the rich legacy that Roundabout’s legendary production of Cabaret established there six years ago.

EDUCATION AT ROUNDABOUT Dramatic Lessons Roundabout Theatre Company has committed its staff and its resources to the students of the New York City metropolitan area. The theatre’s education efforts began with a single program more than a decade ago. Now, Roundabout touches the lives of more than 4,500 students and teachers in all five boroughs of New York City and the surrounding area, largely in underserved school communities. Diverse education offerings include opportunities for students to come to the theatre utilizing discounted tickets and preparatory study guides; long-term classroom residency programs; in-depth partnerships with entire schools; professional development for teachers, administrators, and teaching artists; and exciting internships with accomplished theatre administrators. Most impressively, Roundabout has been a lead partner in the creation of three brand-new city public high schools, all of which use theatre production to apply the lessons learned through standard curriculum. Roundabout’s Education Department began more than ten years ago with Page to Stage, a program that grew out of the traditional model of theatre education. The idea is to send theatre artists on residencies in classrooms to help teachers introduce a play or musical that the students will then see at Roundabout. As the education department has discovered, however, kids — and adults — often learn best Students at Bronx Theatre High School in a production of The Canterbury Tales by doing theatre instead of reading or hearing about it. The Producing Partners program is an outgrowth of this conclusion.

day, is inherently theatrical. Educators in Roundabout’s programs participate in a variety of professional development activities to help develop teachers’ classroom arsenal of techniques and expand their understanding of theatre’s power to motivate students to learn. For example, teachers are urged to become more aware of the importance of dramatic elements in the classroom, like pacing, plot reversals and revelations, lighting, and sound. This applies to whatever the class — science, math, or social studies. These principles are apparent at Bronx Theatre High School and Brooklyn School for Music and Theatre, both of which opened their doors in September 2003 to approximately 100 ninth graders. These New Century schools, created through Roundabout's partnership with the New York City Department of Education and the New Visions for Public Schools program, are Roundabout’s most ambitious and all-encompassing education efforts to date. A third New Century high school, Manhattan Theatre Lab, opened its doors in September 2004, under the guidance of Principal Margaret Salvante-McCann, Roundabout’s former Education Director. In addition to sending theatre artists to these ambitious education initiatives, Roundabout is helping parents to become more involved in the school and its productions. The results have been remarkable. Visit a school and you can feel the strength of a community that’s coalesced around its partners — parents, teachers, students, and teaching artists. Roundabout’s education efforts do more than teach kids about theatre. They use theatre to rehearse the next generation in crucial skills: the creation of community; the rewards of collaborative work toward a common goal; and how making theatre today is valuable practice for re-making the world of tomorrow.

Using Roundabout as a model, students gain an understanding of the artistic, administrative, and technical aspects of a professional theatre company and replicate those functions as they engage in the process of producing their own plays. The process of actually producing something gives students confidence and tangible benefits, as well as a deeper and richer understanding of how Roundabout produces professional theatre. As Roundabout has become an increasingly important part of many school classrooms, another key idea emerged: the very act of teaching, of standing before a student audience every P A G E 14

RAZZLE-DAZZLE AT ROUNDABOUT

R

oundabout enjoyed an exciting season of fundraising successes, raising over $1,000,000 through two unique events.

Just Dance for Education Roundabout’s Arts-in-Education Benefit on November 10, 2004 was a great success for a great cause. Co-chaired by Beth Chapin, Janet Christensen, Peter Davenport, and Donna Slade, the benefit was held at the dazzling Noche in Midtown. Guests learned to salsa and Jay Goldberg and Board member Mary Cirillo-Goldberg with Roundabout’s Julia Levy

merengue, dined on delicious Latin-inspired cuisine, and bid in the silent auction. Among the many guests Honorary Chairman Cynthia Nixon and event co-chair Beth Chapin

who danced the

night away were Honorary Chairmen Jane Krakowski and Cynthia Nixon. All proceeds from the evening

A Musical Tribute to Kander & Ebb

Lois Robards and Board member Christopher Plummer, recipient of the 2002 Jason Robards Award for Excellence in Theatre

On April 26, 2004, Roundabout celebrated Broadway legends John Kander and Fred Ebb, the composing team behind such landmark musicals as Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman and, of course, Roundabout’s long-running hit revival of Cabaret. Held at the fabulous new Mandarin Oriental Hotel overlooking Central Park, the evening glittered as brightly as the

city lights that provided the gala’s backdrop. The legendary pair was honored with The Jason Robards Award for Excellence in Theatre followed by an original musical tribute directed by Scott Ellis. Over 450 guests were treated to this spectacular night in song featuring stars from Kander and Ebb’s many Broadway Gala co-chairs Mac and Leslie Bains and Karen and Paul Lacouture

shows: Jason Alexander, Brent Barrett, Joel Grey, John

Benjamin Hickey, Marin Mazzie, Daniel McDonald, Debra Monk, Bebe Neuwirth, Michelle Pawk, Brenda Pressley, Natasha Richardson, Chita Rivera, Jim Walton, Karen Ziemba and the

one and only Liza Minnelli. Thanks to the support of Roundabout’s most generous patrons, industry, corporate and foundation partners and the dedicated leadership of event cochairs Mac and Leslie Bains and Karen and Paul Lacouture, the evening was a rousing success, raising nearly $900,000 for Roundabout’s Musical Theatre Fund.

OUR SUPPORTERS Dear Friends, As a not-for-profit theatre, Roundabout depends on a dedicated family of supporters to help mount the productions, programs, and events detailed in this report. We are deeply grateful to the thousands of individuals, foundations, corporations, and government officials and agencies who make our work possible. During the 2003-2004 season alone, we received gifts toward the Annual Fund totaling more than $7.1 million. Roundabout’s loyal individual donors, led by our outstanding Board of Directors, contributed an incredible $3.3 million toward our Annual Fund. We also saw tremendous support this year from foundations, corporations, and governmental agencies, which contributed nearly $3 million this season to fund the theatre’s artistic and educational initiatives. Over $800,000 of that support was directed toward education programs in New York City public schools. Each year, we invite our donors to get closer to the artistic process through many special privileges and programs. This season, donors enjoyed intimate pre-theatre dinners hosted by Artistic Director Todd Haimes and attended by Roundabout artists like Kyle MacLachlan, Julie Halston, Denis O’Hare, Michael Cerveris, and directors David Jones and David Warren; exclusive one-night-only playreadings featuring stars such as Marian Seldes, Philip Bosco, Boyd Gaines, Dana Ivey, Harriet Harris, and Marc Kudisch; cocktail receptions with Roundabout artists; and opening night celebrations with cast and crew. Other benefits offered include house seat privileges, subscriptions to Roundabout’s magazine Front & Center, private donor lounges, and various behind-the-scenes events. The Corporate Club also offers discounts on employee tickets and rental rates at Roundabout’s event spaces. Many of our patrons choose to become even more deeply involved by joining Roundabout’s corps of volunteers. Our volunteer program matches enthusiastic individuals with many crucial projects, everything from manning the membership kiosk in the lobby of the American Airlines Theatre to assisting with important fundraising activities such as donor mailings and archive maintenance. Special thanks go out to Maralene Downs and Rita Buttolph, our 2003-2004 Volunteers of the Year, for their exceptional service. Finally, we are fortunate to have the support of many governmental agencies and officials, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the City of New York; the New York City Council; the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs; Governor Pataki and the State of New York; New York State Senator Tom Duane; Assembly Members Herman D. Farrell, Jr., Richard Gottfried, Steven A. Sanders, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver; the New York State Council on the Arts; the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation; and the National Endowment for the Arts. Again, to our supporters, thank you — we couldn’t do it without you! For more information on becoming a part of this very special inner circle, please contact me at (212) 719-9393. Sincerely,

Jeffory Lawson Director of Development
