A NOTE FROM VINCENT M. LANCISI A NOTE FROM FOUNDER, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, VINCENT M. LANCISI
roof is the perfect way to kick off our 2019-20 season of plays. Playwright David Auburn crafted a brilliant story filled with twists and turns that makes fascinating connections between genius and insanity, women and mathematics, dementia and heredity. It’s a family drama that draws us into a fascinating world of very smart people struggling with the big issues in life and what comes next. Death, legacy, and family love is at the center of Proof and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
As you look ahead to the plays that make up the rest of this season, there’s a lot to look forward to. There are plays by great authors like August Wilson, Agatha Christie, Ken Ludwig, and Clifford Odets. There are famous, iconic titles like Murder on the Orient Express and Awake and Sing!. The plays are filled with a wide range of styles that keep entertaining and fascinating in different ways. These famous plays make for great theatre-going; plays theatre audiences can hang their hats on. As if this weren’t enough, we'll surprise and delight our patrons with some of the brightest, most important, and riveting new plays by playwrights whose names are getting more and more familiar as their works are discovered by larger audiences. Caleen Sinnette Jennings, Deborah Zoe Laufer, Angelica Chéri, and Molly Smith Metzler are wowing audiences who are new to their plays. It has long been a dream of mine to open a second theatre upstairs and we are doing
just that. In the spring, Everyman patrons can encounter three new plays in our inaugural New Voices Festival in our new Upstairs space. It is sure to be exciting to experience the three amazing playwrights and their new works in a festival setting. These authors are making their marks in the American theatre. Subscribing is the best way to experience plays at Everyman. Life is so busy these days that we need the flexibility that only subscribers enjoy. Sometimes things come up last minute making it difficult to see a play on a particular night. If you buy single tickets for a show and you can’t make it, there’s no refund. The sale is final. If you subscribe, you can reschedule when the conflict comes up and you don’t have to miss the play. It’s flexible, cheaper, and easy to manage. Just do it—go ahead and jump in! You’ll experience the benefits almost immediately. Finally, I'd like to thank all of the Super Subscribers out there. You are the lifeblood of Everyman. By being a subscriber and donating $100 or more, you help keep theatre affordable and make it accessible to students, seniors, and those in our community who can't afford a ticket. In return, you receive invitations to special events, have the opportunity to go behind the scenes, and get a chance to rub elbows with our Resident Company of Actors. We love that our Super Subscribers quickly become members of the Everyman family. Thank you for coming and enjoy the show! PROOF | 3
A GENETIC DISPOSITION: THE SCIENCE BEHIND HEREDITARY DEMENTIA By Lindsey R. Barr
W
hile no one knows the exact cause of dementia, science shows that genetics passed down through generations are likely involved. Researchers continue to investigate and identify specific genes that affect how likely you are to experience dementia. While there is not a concrete line drawn between parent and kin, researchers are moving closer toward determining genes that may contribute to familial dementia. Scientists have found evidence of a link between Alzheimer's disease (a significant disease considered under the umbrella diagnosis of dementia) and genes on four chromosomes, labeled as 1, 14, 19, and 21. Alzheimer's disease strikes early and fairly often in some families—often enough that experts single it out as a separate form of the disease. This familial and frequent occurrence is called early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease.
EVERYMAN THEATRE | 4
Some genes increase your likelihood of developing the disease (risk genes) while others guarantee that you will develop a disease (deterministic genes), though the latter type of genes is rare. However, genetic risk factors are just one of the factors involved in getting Alzheimer's disease and researchers are still working to determine environmental factors that could contribute to the development of dementia. The most common type of Alzheimer's disease usually begins after age 65 (lateonset Alzheimer's disease). The most common gene associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease is a risk gene called apolipoprotein E (APOE). As with all genes, you inherit one gene from your mother and another from your father, thus, you have two copies of the APOE gene. Having at least one APOE e4 gene increases your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and the presence of
two APOE e4 genes increases your risk of presenting symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s. Of course, genes aren’t the end of the equation: not everyone who has one or even two APOE e4 genes develops Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, the disease occurs in many people who don't even have an APOE e4 gene, suggesting that the APOE e4 gene affects risk, but is not a cause. A very small percentage of people who develop Alzheimer's disease have the early-onset type. Signs and symptoms of this type usually appear between ages 30 and 60 years old. This type of Alzheimer's disease is very strongly linked to your genes. It is the mutation of these genes cause the production of excessive amounts of a toxic protein fragment called amyloid-beta peptide. This peptide can build up in the brain to form clumps called amyloid plaques, which are characteristic
of Alzheimer's disease. A buildup of toxic amyloid-beta peptide and amyloid plaques may lead to the death of nerve cells and the progressive signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s. As amyloid plaques collect in the brain, tau proteins malfunction and stick together to form neurofibrillary tangles. These tangles are associated with the abnormal brain functions seen in Alzheimer's disease. Although research has progressed in recent years to better understand dementia and Alzheimer’s, some people who have earlyonset Alzheimer's don't have mutations in the three genes identified by researchers. Though rigorous research continues about the genetic disposition of dementia and Alezheimer’s, this suggests that some earlyonset forms of Alzheimer's disease are linked to other genetic mutations or other factors that are yet to be identified.

THE REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN YOU SHOULD KNOW: 6 MATHEMATICIANS WHOSE CONTRIBUTIONS ADD UP By Lindsey R. Barr
A
ccording to a report from the National Science Foundation, less than 30% of all U.S. doctoral degrees in mathematics and statistics are awarded to women. From 2006 to 2016, the percentage of mathematics and statistics doctorates obtained by women actually fell from 29.6% to 28.5%. (2016 is the most recent year for which those statistics are available.) In many periods of history, women have been discouraged from applying their minds to mathematics—but a few persevered. The world-altering contributions of these 5 notable female mathematicians include making hospitals safer, laying the groundwork for the computer, and advancing space flight.
1
SOPHIE GERMAIN Sophie Germain (1776-1831) was a revolutionary. She battled against the social prejudices of the era and a lack of formal training in order to become a celebrated mathematician. She is best known for her work in number theory, but her work in the theory of elasticity is also very important to mathematics. After teaching herself Latin and Greek, she read Newton and Euler despite her parent’s opposition to a career in mathematics. One of Sophie Germain’s theorems is related to the baffling and still unsolved problem of obtaining a general proof for “Fermat’s last theorem,” the conjecture that Xn + Yn = Zn has no positive integral solutions if n is an integer greater than 2. Sophie Germain’s contribution showed the EVERYMAN THEATRE | 6
impossibility of positive integral solutions if x, y, z are prime to one another and to n, where n is any prime less than 1,700. Sophie’s work of elasticity was not only important to the field of mathematics but was vital in the construction of the Eiffel Tower, but her name was not inscribed on the tower along with the 72 other scientists and mathematicians who are credited with its construction.

MARY SOMERVILLE Mary Somerville (1780–1872) was not particularly interested in academics as a child. However, when she encountered an algebra symbol in a puzzle at age 16, she became fascinated with math and began studying it on her own. Her parents tried to discourage her, worried that her intellectual preoccupations might drive her insane. (At the time, a popular theory held that difficult study could damage a woman’s mental health.) She also corresponded with William Wallace, a professor of mathematics at Edinburgh University, and solved mathematical problems posed in contests, winning a silver prize in 1811.

ADA LOVELACE The next time you download some electronica, remember Augusta Ada
King-Noel (1815–1852). Lovelace was born during the brief marriage of poet George, Lord Byron and Anne Milbanke, Lady Wentworth. Her mother did not want her to be a poet like her father and encouraged her interest in mathematics and music. As a teenager, Ada corresponded with Charles Babbage, a professor at Cambridge. At the time, Babbage was working on his ideas for a calculating machine called the Analytical Engine, now considered a precursor to the computer. Lovelace supplied notes that helped envision other possibilities, including the idea of computer-generated music.
proficient women who calculated a variety of scientific and mathematical data at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later became NASA. Dorothy Johnson Vaughan (1910–2008) was one of them, and her contributions are featured alongside those of several other African-American female mathematicians at NACA in the 2016 film Hidden Figures.

4 KATHERINE JOHNSON
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) is best known as a nurse and social reformer, but a lesser-known contribution of hers continues to save lives. In her efforts to improve the survival rates of hospital patients, Nightingale became a statistician. When the “lady with the lamp” returned from service during the Crimean War, she expressed sadness about how many soldiers became sick and died while lying in the hospital. As part of her plan to reform hospital care, Nightingale began gathering statistics. The figures she gathered indicated that a lack of sanitation was the primary reason for the high mortality rate. Efforts were instituted to make hospitals cleaner and thus safer.

When Katherine Johnson (born 1918) wanted to study math, she faced a big obstacle. White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, where she lived, did not offer schooling for black students past eighth grade. So, her father drove his family 120 miles so she could attend a high school in another town, leaving Katherine and her mother there while he continued to work in White Sulphur Springs. The math prodigy graduated at age 14. When she attended West Virginia State College, several professors recognized her unusual ability and mentored her. She graduated summa cum laude at the age of 18 and planned to teach. After doing so for a little while, she went to work for NACA as a mathematician. Her knowledge of analytic geometry resulted in her assignment to the all-male flight research team, where she helped calculate the trajectory of Alan Shepherd’s first trip into space. She was so good at her job that she stayed on the research team after Shepherd’s trip, working at Langley Research Center from 1953 to 1986. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015, and her work is also celebrated in the hit film Hidden Figures.

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 its 29th Season, Everyman invites you Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, to be a part of its next chapter.
