A NOTE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, VINCENT M. LANCISI
W
elcome. I was raised with the belief from my Italian grandmother that “food is love.” My family had special dishes for marriage, for funerals—for virtually every occasion— and we know this to be a custom celebrated in many cultures. “Comfort food” is a term I truly believe in—my food memories are plentiful, and certain dishes can bring tears to my eyes by reminding me of someone who is no longer with us, or put a smile on my face as I remember a special moment shared with someone. Like Diane in the play, I, too, have traveled far and wide for the perfect dish. I have searched and searched for authentic ingredients that would give me the exact taste or smell to trigger a special food memory, or to create a new one. Julia Cho’s Aubergine embodies the intersection of food, memory and life’s seminal moments in a way that really speaks to me. Her play is almost spiritual in nature—examining life’s rites of passage and the need we have for connection through words, meaningful acts and special dishes. Some rites of passage (leaving this earth, for example) involve the desire to help loved ones get through the experience with as little pain and as much love as possible. My mother passed away several years ago. She was a great cook. There are certain dishes I cook to celebrate her—but they are never as good as when she made
them. The ingredients are the same, and the cooking methods have not changed, yet her special way of making these same dishes made them the best—and much better than I could ever replicate. I believe it is because my mother was a nurturer, and she was spiritual, and she put her great capacity for love into her cooking. Food is an expression of ourselves. Often, it is we who are the special ingredient in our own recipes. Some might think Aubergine is a sad play about death and loss, but I don’t see it that way. To me, Aubergine is a play about caregiving, nurturing, and the privilege of helping ease the pain of a loved one who is leaving this life—the privilege of letting the person feel our love. We find the right bed for them, take them home (if we can), be with them, hold their hand, make them soup, and love them. Then, we remember them and honor them in many ways—often with food. It is the circle of life. We wish we could share another dish with them, but, we know it will never be the same, so, we cherish their memory through food. This is one way that loved ones stay with us. Food heals, food nourishes, food satiates, food hugs, and food remembers. Food is love. Enjoy the show.

A NOTE FROM MANAGING DIRECTOR, JONATHAN K. WALLER
T
his might set me apart from the vast majority of people, but I often find stories that deal with death and dying to be life-affirming. Sure, there can sometimes be elements of sadness, but, more often I find there to be a celebration of life, love, family and experiences in these types of stories—and Julia Cho’s heartfelt father-son story, Aubergine, beautifully demonstrates this feeling with its celebration of memories from a life that was well-lived.
There is so much life within the walls of Everyman, going well beyond the productions that you see on our stage. Did you know that on the very first Tuesday of every production, not only do we host our “Pay What You Can” performance (which allows the audience to pay literally whatever they can to attend), but we also host our “TNT: Theatre Night for Teens” program. Nearly 50 teenagers from schools all over the Baltimore area (and beyond) join us regularly for TNT, which includes dinner, an artist meet-and-greet, the current performance, and a postshow discussion. Talk about life! These students breathe a whole new energy into our building during these events—an energy that can be felt from the stage to the very last row. We are thrilled to see these emerging members of tomorrow’s audiences join us for each production. Learn more about TNT at everymantheatre.org/tnt.
One of my favorite times of year is the summer, when our building bursts to life with young actors and artists participating in our Youth Summer Camps and Teen Performance Summer Studio. Students from grades as young as Kindergarten join us throughout the summer to explore creative dramatics, play creation and more. Registration is now available at everymantheatre.org/ summer. We thank you for being a part of the Everyman family. When you visit Everyman, we want you to feel like you are visiting an old friend, where you feel instantly right at home. We hope that you feel the energy of the Resident Company as they take the stage. We hope that you will bring your children and grandchildren and create for them the lasting memories of experiencing live theatre. We want you to take a class with us and maybe even dare to make a fool of yourself, gaining the opportunity to tell that story for years to come. Just like memories that are shared and passed down within a family, we hope that you have great stories about Everyman to cherish for many years to come.

PLAYWRIGHT’S PERSPECTIVE By Julia Cho. Followed by Korean Translation Reprinted with permission from Playwrights Horizons, New York
T
here are two dishes, above all, that I associate with my father. The first is ramen. And by “ramen” I mean instant ramen, not the artisanal, simmered-for-40hours kind of Japanese ramen so popular right now. The latter is undoubtedly more delicious but was entirely unavailable to me in my youth. What we had was the instant kind, in colorful packs, and we bought it by the box. It is hard to overstate the resonance this kind of ramen holds not just for me, but for many Korean Americans. We grew up eating it in all its umami glory, usually with an egg cracked straight into it while boiling. My mother cooked almost all of our meals from scratch—a heroic endeavor I utterly failed to appreciate or measure up to—so ramen was never, say, dinner. Ramen was something eaten in the off hours, late at night. I’d come downstairs looking for a snack to find my father standing over the stove with the small, steel pot whose entrance into our family predated mine and whose sole purpose, it seemed, was to make ramen. He’d see me and wordlessly add another block of noodles and packet of seasonings to the pot. There was something EVERYMAN THEATRE | 6
calm and contented about those late night meals. My memory is tricky—as tricky as that of my characters. So I don’t know if there’s a certain wish fulfillment going on. But I’d like to think we had some good meals together in the quiet of our house, slurping soup together late into the night. But ramen was something my father ate at home because it was quick, easy, and cheap. It was not his favorite food. For that, we would have to go out to eat and the only kind of food we really went out for was Chinese food. At least, growing up, that’s what I thought it was. We went to restaurants with words like “Peking” or “Dragon” in the title and they often had paper placemats printed with the Chinese Zodiac, so you can understand why I assumed what we were eating was Chinese. But what my parents actually went out for was not Chinese food—Mandarin, say, or Szechuan. What they went out for was Korean Chinese food. This is a terribly reductive food history, but what I understand is that the Chinese went to Japan and opened restaurants, which led to ramen. But the Chinese also went to Korea and opened restaurants, which led to
dishes such as jajangmyun and my father’s hands-down favorite dish: jjamppong. It is a red and fiery seafood soup, with thick udonlike noodles and a briny, spicy broth. We kids would order the sweeter, milder jajangmyun and my father would order his jjamppong and all of us were happy and sated. I bring up these two dishes because when someone dies, one of the harder aspects is that you no longer get to eat with them. There are some religions that construct altars for their dead and leave food for them to have in the afterlife. I know one friend who put a Pepsi and a donut on the altar for his grandmother because those were her favorite foods. For my father, I would put ramen and jjamppong. But being Christian, we have no altars. So instead, I eat ramen, now sharing it with my own children, who lap it up with an almost primal instinct as I have yet to find a child who doesn’t like noodles. And should I be so lucky to be in LA’s Koreatown, I go to Young King and order their jjamppong. I think of my father— this man who ate out so rarely, who gave himself so few material luxuries that when he died, he left almost nothing to inherit. He grew up in a time and place where there were no cameras; of his early life, or even his life as a young man, I know virtually nil. But I know what he ate; I know what foods he liked. And so it is a kind of communion: I eat these things in remembrance of him.
우리 아버지를 생각할때 두가지의 음식이 떠올 라요. 첫번째는 라면이에요. 물론 요즘 유행하 는 일본 라면 말고, 우리 한국라면이죠. 슈퍼가 서 살수있는, 박스안에 밝은 포장지로 쌓인 라 면. 한국사람들한테는, 특히 재미교포들한테는 깊이 와닿는 음식이죠. 보글보글 라면을 끓이 면서 계란하나 타악 넣은 그 라면 맛, 한국사람 이면누구나 그맛이 뭔지알죠. 우리어머니는 우리 가족음식을 거의 다 직접 손으로 요리하셨어요 - 제가 어렸을때는 그 의 미가뭔지도 모르고 지금은 따라할수없는 영웅 적인 노력이죠 - 그래서 라면은 절대 저녁식사 가 아니었죠. 라면은 늦은 밤에 끓여먹는 음식 이었어요. 가끔 저는 간식찾아 아랫층으로 내 려오면 저보다 먼저 우리가족에 속해 있었던 오르지 라면만드는 이유로 존재한듯한 그 쇠
냄비 위에서, 아버지가 라면 끓이시는 모습을 발견하곤했죠. 제가 내려오는걸 보시고 말없이 면 하나더 그리고 양념 한 팩 더 냄비에 넣으셨 죠. 그 늦은 밤들이 어떤면에서는 되게 조용하 고 만족스러웠었어요.제 연극 캐릭터들처럼 저 도 기억이 가물가물해요. 그래서 제 바램대로 기억하는건지도 모르겠어요. 근데 저는 그 늦 은 밤에 라면국물을 시원하게 마셨던 그 시간 들이 좋은 추억이라고 생각하고싶어요. 그렇지만 우리 아버지한테 라면은 집에서, 쉽 고, 빠르고, 싸게 해드실수있는 음식이었어요. 아버지가 제일 좋아하시는 음식이 아니었죠. 제일 좋아하시는 음식을 먹을려면 외식을 해야 했어요. 우리 가족이 외식했다 하면 항상 중국 음식점 이였어요. 적어도, 제가 아는 중국음식 은 그곳에서 먹는 음식이었죠. 우리가 가는 식 당들은 주로 이름에 ‘페킹’ (Peking) 아님 ‘드래 곤’ (Dragon) 같은 단어들이 들어갔고, 식탁위 에는 중국 띠달력이 적혀있는 종이들이 올려있 는걸 보니, 어린나이엔 그곳들을 진짜 중국식 당이라고 생각했었죠. 우리 가족은 진정한 중 국음식이 아닌 한국 중국음식을 찾았던거죠. 아주 기본적인 음식의 역사지만, 제가 알기로 는 중국사람들이 일본가서는 요릿집을 열고 그 게 일본 라면이되었고, 또한 중국사람들이 한 국에 가서 요릿집을 열고난후에는 짜장면이랑 짬뽕이 만들어졌었죠. 그 중에 우리 아버지는 빨갛고 매운 짬뽕을 굉장히 좋아하셨어요. 우 리 애들은 단맛이 나는 짜장면을 주문하고, 아 버지는 짬뽕을 시키시고, 우리 모두 배부르고 행복한 시간들이었죠.
제가 이 두가지 음식이 떠오르는 이유는 그런 것같에요. 누군가가 돌아가실때에는 다른것들 중에 제일 어려운것이 그분이랑 더이상 같이 식사를 못한다는것이죠. 어떤 종교에서는 제단 을 만들고 다음생에 가져갈 음식을 내놓죠. 제 가 아는 한 친구는 할머니제단에다가 펩시콜라 랑 도넛을 남겼었어요. 친구할머니가 제일좋아 하시는 음식들 이었으니까요. 저는 아버지에 게 라면이랑 짬뽕을 올렸을텐데. 그러나 우리 는 기독교이기때문에 제단이없어요. 그래서 저 는 대신에 제 자식들이랑 같이 라면을 끓여먹 어요. 녀석들은 원초적 본능인것 처럼 아주 싹 싹 긁어먹죠. 여태까지 저는 라면을 안좋아하 는 아이를 본적이없으니까요. 그리고 운좋게 도 저는 LA 코리아타운 근처에 살고있어서 영 킹이라는 음식점을 가서 짬뽕을 주문하곤하죠. 그럴때마다 아버지를 생각해요 - 너무나도 드 물게 외식하셨던, 자기를 위해서는 거의 아무 것도 안 하셔서 우리에게 남긴게 거의 없으셨 던 우리 아버지. 자라시면서 카메라가 없는 시 절이었기에, 아버지의 어린 시절, 젊은 시절에 대해도 저는 거의 모릅니다. 그렇지만, 아버지 가 뭘 드셨는지,어떤음식을 좋아하셨는지는 알 아요. 그래서 이 두가지 음식이 아버지하고의 하나의 친교법이죠. 이 음식들을 아버지를 기 억하면서 먹습니다.

BRING THE MEMORY OF AUBERGINE INTO YOUR KITCHEN WITH THESE FAVORITE RECIPES SHARED BY MEMBERS OF THE CAST. MANDU FROM TONY NAM (Ray) Cornelia mentions mandu briefly during the play, at the top of Act 2. My mother would make mandu by the hundreds and freeze them for quick thawing and cooking later. They were present for nearly every special occasion: birthdays, Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving... And we devoured them! Ingredients: • 1 whole cabbage • 1 package of rice vermicelli or bean thread (12oz) • 1 large white onion, diced small • 1 medium-large carrot, minced • 1 bunch green scallion, chopped small • 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced (optional) • 1 block of firm tofu, rinsed, drained and diced • 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter • 2 TB soy sauce • 1 TB sesame oil • 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds • 2 eggs, beaten • Salt to taste • 2 packages of thawed, pre-made/cut dumpling wrappers (round or square), approx. 3” across. • Plastic wrap or wax paper • Wide-rimmed bowl of water Filling: Peel away outer leaves of cabbage and cut into quarters. Boil water and par-boil the quarters of cabbage until cooked, but not over-cooked (about 5 minutes). Use tongs to carefully remove cabbage from boiling water and drain/cool in colander. Add vermicelli to hot water (not boiling), and cook for 3 minutes. Strain vermicelli and run cold water EVERYMAN THEATRE | 8
over the noodles to cool, allowing to strain as vegetables are prepared. Mince cooked, cooled cabbage into small dice (1 cm or less). Put diced cabbage in clean cheese cloth or kitchen towel and ring out all the water, then place in large mixing bowl. Add prepped onion, carrot, scallion, ginger and tofu to bowl. Stir in peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds and eggs. Mix with gloved hands or wooden spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Add salt to taste. Assembly: Have a freezer-safe tray ready (a large, glass oven dish will also work), along with sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and bowl of water. Place a dumpling wrapper on flat surface, dip finger into water, and trace dampened finger around the outer sides of wrapper. Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling mixture in the middle of wrapper and crimp wrapper closed with hands (crimping can be a simple flat seal or crimping can be made more elaborate as desired). Repeat with additional dumpling wrappers, placing each on prepared tray, leaving at least 1/2-inch space around each mandu. After tray is filled with one full layer, place plastic wrap or wax paper atop and begin next layer of mandu (hint: place next layer of mandu in the previous layer’s gaps in order to fit more mandu). When all mandu are made, tray can be covered with plastic and frozen or cooked immediately. Makes 50-70 mandu. Cooking: Dumplings can be deep fried, pan fried, steamed or added to a soup. If the mandu are frozen, they do not need to be fully thawed to use, but be careful of oil splatter.
KIMCHI FRIED RICE (BOKKUMBAP) FROM SONG KIM (Uncle) In our house, kimchi bokkumbap was always Mom’s go to for a quick meal as the three main ingredients were always readily available in our kitchen; Rice, kimchi, sesame oil. As this is a repurposing of leftovers, other ingredients can be modified or substituted (so long as you keep your ratios of the three main ingredients—rice, kimchi, sesame oil—true). The best recipe is the one that is suited to your taste. Ingredients: • 2 TB vegetable oil • 2 large eggs • 1 cup protein of your choosing (I like canned luncheon meat and/or bacon) • 2-3 cups kimchi very coarsely chopped* • Sesame oil to taste (100% pure for best flavor)* • 4 cups cooked rice (preferably day old rice, but Mom would scoop warm rice right out of the cooker)* • 1/4 cup kimchi juice • 1/2 cup green onion to garnish • Small package of roasted seasoned laver (seaweed) to garnish • Salt to taste *denotes “non-negotiable” ingredients Preparation: Add a small amount of vegetable oil to pan and scramble eggs to set but soft consistency. Remove eggs from pan and set aside. Add more vegetable oil if needed and cook protein thoroughly. Add chopped kimchi and bring heat to medium/high. Lightly coat with sesame oil. Let kimchi become cooked through, stirring frequently. Add cooked rice to pan, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. If desired, coat again with sesame oil and add kimchi juice (add too much oil and you will end up with a greasy mess—not necessarily a bad thing). Cook all ingredients to desired doneness (cooking out any added liquid). Fold in scrambled egg and let work another minute or so. Plate and garnish with green onion and crumbled seaweed. Serves two. Variations: Substitute scrambled egg with over-easy or sunny-side up egg, prepared in a separate pan and placed over bed of rice.

Courtesy of Tony Nam RED BEAN MOCHI SQUARES FROM EUNICE BAE (Cornelia) This was my favorite sweet treat that my mom used to make, and I would ask her to bake it all the time. I specifically remember a “culture day” at school, in third grade, where students were asked to each bring in a food representing our culture. Most of my classmates brought in American standards like brownies or macaroni and cheese, or Italian food like lasagna—but I was so excited to bring what my family called “red bean brownies,” and couldn’t wait to share them at school. Little did I realize that American kids in the 1980s had no taste for unusual textures, and my Korean treats went virtually untouched. I couldn’t understand the insanity of my classmates. It was incredibly disheartening at that time, when I had only wanted to blend in—but now, looking back, I just see the insularity of those kids and I am thankful that I was exposed to many different kinds of foods and textures beginning at an early age. It has made me a much more adventurous eater as an adult, and more open to the unusual. Ingredients: • 1 egg • 16 oz sweet rice flour (e.g. 1 box of Michiko) • 2 tsp baking powder • 1 cup (or less) sugar • 1/2 cup crushed walnuts • 1 can (15 oz.) sweet red beans (azuki beans) • 2 cups milk Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 8”x12” baking dish. Beat egg in large bowl. Add sweet rice flour, stirring until combined. Add baking powder, sugar, and walnuts, mixing thoroughly. Gently stir in red beans. Add milk and stir to combine. Pour mixture into baking dish and bake 50-60 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. AUBERGINE | 9

WHAT IS THE BROMO DISTRICT? Imagine an arts district that connects the Stadiums and Downtown with a major corridor of Theatres, Galleries, and other public displays of art. Heading north, up the main arteries of Eutaw and Howard Streets, encounter Theatres, a public marketplace, and incubators spawning pop up galleries and emerging artists to be discovered. Continue on to find arts organizations celebrating the history and heritage of Baltimore and cultural institutions leading visitors up to the northern reaches of the district at Read and Howard Streets. In the next decade the Bromo Tower Arts and Entertainment District will become a premiere district for performances and arts exhibitions sought out by citizens of Baltimore and visitors alike. The district will offer opportunities for artists of all disciplines to live, work, and create here. The district encourages the collaboration among its stakeholders and will attract new ones offering resources towards the creation and display of the arts.

A HISTORY OF EVERYMAN
E
veryman Theatre was founded by Vincent Lancisi in 1990. From the beginning, Everyman strove to provide top-notch theatre that is affordable and accessible to everyone. With a Resident Company of local, professional artists, Everyman has staged critically-acclaimed productions ranging from classics to contemporary works to world premieres over the past 27 years.
Everyman’s first production—The Runner Stumbles—was produced in the winter of 1990 at Saint John’s Church. For the next four years, Everyman could only afford to produce one production per year at various locations in Baltimore, including Vagabond’s Theatre, the Theatre Project and even a classroom at MICA.
subscriptions numbers grew and a string of popular and acclaimed productions, including Amadeus, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Lion in Winter, The Glass Menagerie, The Crucible, and the wildly successful Proof, proved that Everyman was a mainstay in the Baltimore theatre scene. Through a generous donation from Bank of America and the Harold A. Dawson Trust, Everyman was given its new home on Fayette Street. Over the span of six years, Everyman completed a successful $18 million capital campaign co-chaired by Gina and Dan Hirschhorn. In January 2013, Everyman celebrated the Grand Opening of its new permanent home on Fayette Street with the record-breaking production of the Pulitzer Prize winning drama, August: Osage County.
The 1994/95 Season marked a series for firsts for Everyman. It was the first year at Everyman celebrated its 25th anniversary 1727 North Charles Street, which would during the 2015/16 Season by producing be Everyman's home for 18 years. It also "The Great American Rep," a feat featuring marked the first multi-production line-up— American classics Death of a Salesman and A starting with Sam Shepard's Buried Child— Streetcar Named Desire performed with the and also offered subscriptions to patrons for same cast in rotating repertory. the first time. Now in it’s 27th Season, Everyman invites Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, you to be a part of its next chapter.
