Everyman Theatre "Los Otros" Program

BALTIMORE/DC PREMIERE MAR 22 thru APR 23

EVERYMAN THEATRE GR EAT STO RIES, WELL TOLD.

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

By Vincent M. Lancisi, Artistic Director

W

elcome. Nurturing the creation of new works is an important commitment Everyman Theatre is making to writers today. We want to contribute to the future of the art form. We are excited about breathing life into new plays and musicals. You can count on seeing a balanced mixture of new plays and classics at Everyman in our future.

Often great masterpieces of the stage don’t blossom until their second production. Many theatres clamor after world premieres wanting to be the first one to birth a play or musical.

But often writers learn a lot from their world premieres and as a result have a new vision for what the piece really should be or could be. This is why here at Everyman we are just as happy to work on new plays in different stages of development be it first, second, or third productions. Having the writers in the room is critical and it allows for innovation to occur and collaboration to flourish.

Hearing that Ellen Fitzhugh (Book and Lyrics) and Michael John LaChiusa (Composer) wanted to revisit their musical Los Otros with Noah Himmelstein directing intrigued me. Upon learning of their vision for the production I was determined to provide the opportunity for them to fully realize it. The musical was first produced at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles back in 2012.

The entire structure for the piece was completely different from what it is today. In the original, Lillian sang about E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | B

her life all the way from childhood through adulthood. Then Carlos did the same with a song together at the end. The writers have abandoned that framework and now both characters' stories are intertwined like their lives.

The past meets the present through the use of memory and melody. The piece has a new book and some new lyrics and the stories are more immediate and affecting.

The process has been fascinating.

First we commissioned the re-writing.

Then we held a workshop of the new version in New York. The writers learned a lot about the piece—what worked and what they might want to further improve. Then the rehearsals began. Two incredible singers and actors brought their talents and lives to the table.

Director Noah Himmelstein and Musical Director Jon Kalbfleisch began their interpretive work on the piece. Most importantly, the creators, Michael John and Ellen, were in the room to adjust, rewrite, and respond to the performers’ contributions. Always sharpening, honing, and digging for the truth, the show got richer and richer. Before we knew it, enhancements were being made both inside and outside of rehearsals to both the book and score in the musical.

The creative process thrived.

You are about to witness a new musical.

It’s totally original, unique, and beautiful.

You now add your voice to the mix.

The show will interact with you and the conversation from artist to audience and back again will flow. Enjoy the show.

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

By Noah Himmelstein, Director

H

ow does our past color what and how we see? Early on in Michael John LaChiusa and Ellen Fitzhugh’s musical, Los Otros, a character gleefully sings “somos tres niñas, and it means: we are three girls!”

In that moment, Lillian recalls (and fully embodies) a memory from childhood when she listened to a Mexican woman teach her a bit of Spanish; where she felt the curiosity and elation of learning about another culture.

with great economy. It is evident to me why Stephen Sondheim calls her the greatest living lyricist.

I hope you’ll find this work as rewarding as it has been for me—a breath of fresh air of what is possible in music-theatre storytelling: original, intriguing and recognizable to our own very personal secrets and shared histories.

That moment is a microcosm of this great work; which fuses real time with memory; where two seemingly ordinary and wildly different characters embrace something enormous and cosmic within themselves and via their relationship with “the other.” Through a medical emergency causing brain trauma for Carlos and an object of special meaning given to Lillian, both are taken back in time to examine key moments of their lives and share these affecting personal stories with us; and each other.

Michael John, one of our most singular musical dramatists working today, has created an astonishing score that captures each decade of Carlos and Lillian’s life; motifs are repeated between the two, and while their stories differ, they continually share a deeply linked emotional musical core. Ellen’s work is equally breathtaking in the cinematic scope of her imagination, juxtaposing familiar human tensions that are quietly perceptive and startlingly relevant. She expresses volumes about the human experience Photo: Søren Malmose

Welcome to Los Otros, a premiere of the re-imagined musical.

This has been another extraordinary year at Everyman Theatre with a season of dramatic excellence. Los Otros is particularly exciting for us as it is a departure from our typical dramatic offerings and it has been thrilling to participate in its evolution. We are privileged to be involved with this new work and look forward to its ongoing success.

Many thanks to all who contributed to this unique opportunity.

Enjoy the evening, tell your friends and thank you for your patronage.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

By Jonathan K. Waller, Managing Director

L

ike many of you, I’ve been thinking about the National Endowment for the Arts recently as calls to eliminate it grow louder. These calls are not new, but the NEA’s existence has never been more at risk.

While Everyman does not receive funding from the NEA, some of the NEA’s sharpest criticism undermines one of Everyman’s core values—that professional arts should be affordable and accessible to everyone— and it’s important to voice our support.

Many of you donate each year to Everyman for this reason alone; for our commitment to Pay-What-You-Can performances, our High School Matinee Program, and our other programs that provide access for those who cannot afford commercial (read “Broadway”) prices.

One misleading claim that’s echoed by politicians and pundits—and recently on NPR’s Weekend Edition Saturday interview with David Marcus—is that the NEA reduces free market competition; that this makes arts organizations “less incentivized towards going out and getting new audiences than they are to going out and getting new grants.” Mr. Marcus admits that while opera and ballet would not go away if NEA funding disappeared, they “might look different.”

We have a model for what free market arts look like in this country. For theatre, it’s Broadway, where tickets to hit shows like Hamilton can swell to thousands of dollars— hardly accessible to the average person.

Teresa Eyring, the Executive Director of Theatre Communications Group, the national organization for professional nonprofit American theatres, shared her powerful open letter to the producers of E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | 4

Weekend Edition Saturday and pointed out that NEA grants make it possible for a much larger and diverse American audience to participate in the arts. In NEA-supported activities, 40% take place in high-poverty neighborhoods, 36% go to organizations that reach under-served populations, and 33% serve low-income audiences. Without the NEA, the wealthy and privileged few who can afford to participate would continue to have access, but others would have it taken away.

Why is this important? Here are a few reasons that speak to me. NEA-supported nonprofit organizations are rooted locally in communities and often invest in education programs, like Everyman, that bring arts to schools that need it most. Students with an education rich in the arts have better grade point averages, score better on standardized tests, and have lower dropout rates. Every dollar in NEA funding leverages $9 in private matching funds. In fact, the NEA’s support of nonprofit organizations allows them to take risks on new works, like Hamilton (developed in the nonprofit Public Theatre), in ways that are not possible in the free market.

Teresa begins her letter by saying “the door to a meaningful conversation about the value of public funding for the arts has been opened.” I want to thank you for being here tonight to see our new work, Los Otros, because it makes me optimistic that this conversation will remind us, once again, that there are myriad reasons public-funded arts are valuable; and that this vital funding source will continue to enrich our lives into the future.

MAKING THE PERSONAL, UNIVERSAL A Conversation With the Creative Team Behind Los Otros

(Pictured Left to Right): Noah Himmelstein, Michael John LaChiusa, Ellen Fitzhugh

R

ecently Everyman Artistic Associate, Johanna Gruenhut had the opportunity to sit down with director Noah Himmelstein, composer Michael John LaChiusa, and book writer Ellen Fitzhugh. The following is an excerpt that has been edited and condensed for clarity. To read their conversation in full, please visit www.everymantheatre.org Johanna Gruenhut [ JG]: Ellen, is this an autobiographical piece? How close to home do you get?

Ellen Fitzhugh [EF]: Well, the piece is autobiographical in nature, if not in detail. Certainly there are things that are manufactured in there, but the ones that really are autobiographical are things that I hope people will think are manufactured because it’s a little sensitive sometimes.

JG: So what is it like to invite another person, or in this case another two people to help edit and shape your own story and experiences?

E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | 6

EF: When the other people are Michael John LaChiusa and Noah Himmelstein I am forever grateful.

Michael John LaChiusa [MJLC]: The nature of Ellen’s storytelling appeals to me in such a visceral, very potent, magical way that it’s next to impossible not to look at her words and not want to musicalize every single one of them.

Knowing her for as long as I have and deeply as I have, it’s wonderful to go into her work and be her heart, because that’s what music is. It’s the heartbeat of the show.

Noah Himmelstein [NH]: Ellen also has an incredible understanding of how music is set. And what wants to be sung.

You know, this piece goes in and out of speaking and song.

JG: How does the initial collaborative process begin? Ellen, do you write the words and then just hand them off to Michael John? Do the two of you talk about the emotional qualities you’re looking for?

MJLC: We don’t talk about anything.

EF: Oh no. I wrote whatever the initial work was and then I sent it to him and that was it.

MJLC: Well, we’d look at it; there’d be a bunch of rewrites. We might have some questions. But really, the BIG thing that happened, the big step that happens is the handing it over. I mean, we do our writing. I mean, people think, “‘oh, you wrote a musical!” But the real writing happens in the room, with the actors and the director. That’s when you are really a writer. It doesn’t happen when we’re at the piano or the typewriter. The real writing happens when you’re tailoring for the actors. And that’s when it becomes really exciting.

EF: It’s a wonderful thing to have Judy McLane and Philip Hernandez. It is like they are spooning this [material] up into themselves…

NH: And they bring so much of their own lives, of where they’ve been, that we could never imagine or plan for. That’s the magic that happens when we’re all in the room bringing it to life.

MJLC: …when we hear the actors singing and the director staging. That’s the only time that I really feel like I’m writing.

NH: Michael John, when you receive a lyric from Ellen, how do you know, emotionally, physically, mentally, what needs to happen?

MJLC: The first thing to figure out is, “what is the character feeling in that moment?” You know, is the character in love? [Thumping his chest] Bum, Bum, Bum. Is the character scared? [Thumping his chest] bumbumbumbum. Because it all comes from the heartbeat of the moment. So, that’s what I respond to.

NH: You put your feet in the character’s shoes. And then think: what is that sound?

A TIMELINE OF CULTURAL EVENTS THAT IMPACTED LILLIAN AND CARLOS: 1930-42: Mexico is victim to many tropical storms and hurricanes, which result in loss of life. Most notable is Hurricane Belize, which makes a 2nd landfall in Mexico.

1942: The US signs a series of laws and diplomatic agreements with Mexico. The Mexican Farm Labor Agreement, more commonly known as the Bracero Program, enabled importation of temporary contract laborers.

1945: War In Europe Ends May 8 (V-E Day). Harry S. Truman becomes US President following the death of President Roosevelt. Nuclear Bombs are dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Japan surrender on August 14 (V-J Day).

1952: The Cold War, the Korean War, and the Second Red Scare. The Today Show premieres on NBC, becoming one of the longest running television series in America.

1964: The Civil Rights Law of 1964 is passed. It is a labor law that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

1967: The first documented LGBT civil rights demonstration in the nation is held in front of The Black Cat, a bar in Los Angeles.

According to US census statistics the divorce rate jumps beginning in the late 60s.

LOS OTROS | 7

MJLC: Absolutely. I mean, when you’re working with a lyricist as brilliant as Ellen that’s there already. The character is already there. So, yeah, it’s just feet in, be in the heartbeat. That’s the beauty part of it all.

"Even though what [the characters] share are their personal histories, which can be messy and dark, they arrive at a buoyancy and a levity with each other. That lightness, that joy is so needed now."

NH:…Which is actually much more true to life than most naturalistic theater we see. I mean the conversations we have on a daily basis are the stuff of dream and fantasy and memory. That is what drew me to the piece, that it operated on various levels—like life. And, yes, it is a great challenge for the actors and myself.

How can we make the spaces clear so we can be as imaginative as possible? I mean, when you have musical theater, you’re already taking a wonderful leap.

JG: There are repeated musical phrases throughout. What are these repeated motifs telling us?

NH: What inspired you to bring in so many different styles of music?

MJLC: This piece spans a lot of time and place. It spans decades. So, there’s the 1950s so you have a little soupçon, a little taste of something a little girl would have heard on the radio. And that little taste can become a little darker in a couple of places. Or, you’re in 1988 in California, in the suburbs of CA, and what does that smell like, and how do you put that into music—for me it was the Burt Bacharach moment, smiling through the palm trees.

There’s also the hurricane that the young man is caught up in, in Mexico, so what does that sound like? That’s cool, too.

That’s exciting when you get to go there.

Music, I find, is one of the best ways to explain time and space to people without having to project a date on a wall.

JG: This piece is not linear storytelling and that’s tricky for a director. There had to have been discussions about how to make it two spaces at once, the present, past, memory, fantasy…

E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | 8

Cast members, Judy McLane and Philip Hernández MJLC: The architecture of the piece is based on the architecture that Ellen presented in lyric form. So where she has an A section or sometimes a B section, it’s the same meter, same rhythm, therefore I can write the same music.

And so it has very profound effects, because when you start hearing it in repetition it has its own meaning after a certain point. So when we get to that A section again, it means something similar, even though it’s being sung by a different character and has a different feeling or a different impetus. Sometimes

I play around with the meter, too. Like maybe the same meter happens in the B section, but because there’s a gay Latino accountant, I can write a fabulous gay Latino accountant rhythm for it.

JG: Do the repetitions between characters influence your understanding of how they move through space? Noah, does the shared music frame your staging?

NH: I want the audience to be able to connect to the different repeating motifs so that they can make connections between the characters and see, ‘oh, this is a common emotion that’s happening between them, even though they’re in totally different situations.’ It comes back to what are we saying in the grand scheme of things about that common human heart.

1970s, in brief: In 1970, the first gay pride parade is held. In 1972 the Supreme Court legalizes birth control for all citizens of this country, irrespective of marital status. In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association removes homosexuality from its official list of mental disorders. In 1977: hit movies are Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Annie Hall. Jimmy Carter is inaugurated. California suffers from severe drought.

JG: The show began years ago, but do you feel it has taken on greater significance given our current events?

1980s, in brief: Reagan, Reaganomics, The Cold War, Madonna, Michael Jackson, AIDS, MTV.

MJLC: The story, in and of itself, is about how we learn about each other by telling our stories to one another, it's how we can learn to love each other. And I think that’s one of the key points of Ellen’s story.

1990s, in brief: The Immigration Act of 1990 is passed by President George H.W. Bush.

JG: Is there something you’re hoping Everyman audiences will come away feeling?

NH: There is levity and lightness to these stories. Even though what they share are their personal histories, which can be messy and dark, they arrive at a buoyancy and a levity with each other.

That lightness, that joy is so needed now.

MJLC: It’s wonderful working on the piece at a theater called Everyman…

NH: Because everyone is involved in some way…

MJLC: Because the humanity is the very theme.

EF: It is like putting a life on its feet.

1994: Rwandan Genocide, an estimated 800,000 Tutsis were killed by Hutus during a 100-day period.

Former NFL player O.J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder.

2000s: According to the US census, the foreign-born population in the United States increased by more than half between 1990 and 2000. In 2000, 11.2 million people (36% of the total foreignborn population) were from Central America (including Mexico).

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 25 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. The 1994/95 Season marked a series for firsts for Everyman. It was the first year at 1727 North Charles Street, which would be Everyman's home for 18 years. It also marked the first multi-production line-up— starting with Sam Shepard's Buried Child— and also offered subscriptions to patrons for the first time.

Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s,

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 recordbreaking production of the Pulitzer Prize winning drama, August: Osage County.

Everyman celebrated its 25th anniversary during the 2015/16 Season by producing "The Great American Rep," a feat featuring American classics Death of a Salesman and A Streetcar Named Desire performed with the same cast in rotating repertory.

Everyman invites you to be part of the journey for the next 25 years.

FOUNDING BOARD MEMBERS These extraordinary board members have provided leadership for the organization for ten or more years.
