DIRECTORS' NOTE

Welcome everyone to the world premiere of The Road to the End! When I first read this script, a moment that spoke to me was when Steve reminds his son Henry, "Your memories are your receipts. Don't lose them." Memories are our own past experiences, the folklore passed down through generations, the tangible moments just out of reach, and the thoughts that engage all our senses. My concept for the show emphasizes the importance of sensing the beauty in the melody of the memories that we all hold within us.

Loss is an experience that many may see as something to reject and ignore, but as Henry notes, "Omitting the bad things makes the good things less sweet." Accepting loss helps us grow and reach catharsis. It is a universal experience that each character, performer, company member, and viewer can relate to, no matter how different. There is an intentionality to the way this story is being told on this stage and who is telling it. Although the play focuses on one family's experience, it spans different bonds, cultures, and generations.

This is what The Road to the End is all about. The show reminds us to hold our loved ones as tightly as we can and to never forget the moments we share. Often there are experiences in life that we want to remember forever, while others we would rather forget instantly. This production explores both whimsical and bitter memories and attempts to bring them to life.

To accomplish this, we focus on being abstract and challenging reality to be more magical. The use of memories and how they manifest differently for everyone is an integral detail of this production. We can see how memories impact each character and how vivid they are. This aspect of magical realism plays into all facets of the show. The play spans many locations and points in time. It has been a fun challenge to create these moments and tie them together using abstraction, props, intimate lighting, original compositions, subtleties in costumes, and the fringe a simple set. Our amazing team of designers and coordinators have worked tirelessly to turn these abstractions into reality.

Thank you for being here and supporting new voices in theater. It has been an honor to work with this amazing and dedicated company composed entirely of fellow student artists, alumni, and their faculty mentors. We encourage and invite our audiences to challenge their perceptions and to come along for this ride of deafening silence, erupting laughter, immense yearning, and wistful nostalgia.

DRAMATURG'S NOTE

For the first time in over ten years, the School of Theater and the Mason Players have brought a full length student written play to the stage. In this, a season that has been uncharacteristically full of new works, The Road to the End plays a special role - though one of the last plays of the season, it is laying the foundation for a new era of work at Mason. The time to produce new work is now, and one of the best places to produce new student work is in a university setting. The community that is built through student productions is a special one, and for students to have the opportunity to be a part of a full length play development process is an unparalleled experience. All of the plays we now consider classics started as new works. They would not be classics if someone had not made the space for them. Here, we have made the space for the work. We cannot stop making space for the work.

The Road to the End is a story about the journeys we don’t know we need to take until we’re on them. Henry, Steve, and Dabria’s adventure to the Grand Canyon is one of grief and love. The beauties and complexities of memory are lovingly woven into this story of generational differences and joy. We are reminded, in this way, of our own memories of the joys and hardships of being human. Grief is perhaps the most universal of human emotions, and we see it played out in different ways over the course of this play. Our memories of our loved ones are some of the most precious, even if they are shaded by grief. Like the characters in the play, we are all on our own journeys of joy and grief, but these journeys are made better and more beautiful by the memories we can share.

"Make voyages! Attempt them! There is nothing else…" Tennessee Williams
--Jess Singley

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

At the place George Mason University occupies, we give greetings and thanksgivings to these Potomac River life sources, to the Doeg ancestors, who Virginia annihilated in violent campaigns while ripping their lands apart with the brutal system of African American enslavement, to the recognized Virginia tribes who have lovingly stewarded these lands for millennia including, the Rappahannock, Pamunkey, Upper Mattaponi, Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Nansemond, Monacan, Mattaponi, Patawomeck, and Nottaway, past, present, and future, and to the Piscataway tribes, who have lived on both sides of the river from time immemorial.
