A NOTE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, VINCENT M. LANCISI
W
elcome, It brings me great pleasure to introduce you to playwright Lauren Gunderson. Or maybe you’ve encountered Lauren’s incredible plays before? I wouldn’t be surprised as she’s the most produced playwright in America, if you exclude William Shakespeare! American Theatre magazine annually surveys all professional non-profit theatres in the country and comes up with a list of most produced plays and their playwrights. Lauren edged out giants like Eugene O’Neill and August Wilson for the 2017/18 season. This is her first professional production in Baltimore.
Lauren’s plays are so smart and are wildly different in style and subject matter. There are over twenty in all. Her writing is always sharp, creative, and ultimately optimistic. She sees the world through an inventive and original lense that creates circumstances that are intoxicating to experience. She writes about fascinating women. She writes Christmas stories like Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberly, knowing that people like Christmas plays and they also love Jane Austen. She writes funny historical dramas about women in science, EMILIE: La Marquise du Chatelet Defends Her Life Tonight and Silent Sky. Her political dramas about amazing women reduced to footnotes in history and walk a tight-rope of funny and tragic, survival and being heard, as is true in The Revolutionists. She has a new play about the search for, printing, and preserving of
Shakespeare’s words called The Book of Will. It’s a funny and heartfelt journey about a writer’s legacy. If you’re curious about this play, it’s playing at the Round House Theatre in Bethesda during the run of The Revolutionists. The Revolutionists attracted me because like its author, the play is smart and has an edge. It’s also bold in its depiction of famous and should-be-famous women in history, looking at the past through contemporary eyes. These revolutionists are brave and fascinating women, they certainly aren’t given their due in history books, often cited as crazy, even heretical if cited at all. By using comedy as a weapon, Lauren Gunderson catches us off guard and through our laughter we make important discoveries about the truths of these women. They were fierce women with conviction who tried to make a difference. And did I mention it’s a comedy? I am committed to producing more great plays by first rate new playwrights like Lauren Gunderson. It is the golden age of playwriting, especially for women, and I want to provide a stage for these essential voices to be heard. The resident company here at Everyman has always been committed to presenting plays that span the history of theatre and now we want to be sure to include dynamic new voices in the repertoire. Enjoy the show.

A NOTE FROM MANAGING DIRECTOR, JONATHAN K. WALLER
A
few months ago I did something drastic. I uninstalled the Facebook app on my phone!
I did this for a number of reasons, but mostly because I felt I was becoming way too good at giving myself permission to scroll through my feed. This “Facebook detox” (well, partial detox, because I still checked it on my computer periodically without posting) was valuable because it helped me appreciate two things more deeply: First, I gained a deeper appreciation for being present with people and how much that tug towards seeing “new stories” had pulled me away from staying present. Conversely, it also helped me appreciate the vibrant community that our social media outlets of choice create—a space where we gather to discuss, share and appreciate the things we care about individually and collectively. (For what it’s worth, this is why I have decided to return to active Facebook participation). It’s in this spirit that I invite you to do two things tonight. First, I invite you to silence your phone for the duration of the performance. Let your heart and mind be fully absorbed by Lauren Gunderson’s fabulous play. Let yourself enjoy being present with a group of people from the greater Baltimore area who also want to experience a great story, well told. Second, I want to invite you after the show to share something you found meaningful about the play with your social media community. It doesn’t matter if you have one follower or 1 million, this important act of sharing brings us together. It allows for the play to live beyond
the stage the way that Edgar Degas described when he said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” It also helps Everyman immensely. We are a non-profit theatre and our mission is to make professional theatre affordable and accessible to everyone. We fundraise year-round to make ticket prices a fraction of commercial (Broadway) prices by offering Pay-WhatYou-Can performances and completely underwriting tickets, transportation, and in-class programming for high school students in Baltimore through our High School Matinee program— and so much more. Because we choose to spend our resources predominantly on our art and our community, it means we are choosing not to spend vast sums of money competing in an expensive and crowded advertising marketplace. It means that the most effective way of spreading the word about our work is you. You telling a friend. You sharing something that resonates with you about this play on social media (using our hashtag #bmoreeveryman). Believe it or not, it all makes a big difference. If you’re interested in making an even bigger difference, there’s another thing you can do tonight, as well. You can make a taxdeductible gift of any amount. Why tonight? Because the Henry and Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg Foundation will very generously match your gift. Your support can help us continue to serve the greater Baltimore community through Theatre. Thank you for being with us tonight and for all you do to support our work. THE REVOLUTIONISTS | 5
TODAY’S ARTISTIC REVOLUTIONISTS by Laura Weiss
“The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I’m one of the best painters.” —Georgia O’Keeffe
A
s Nina Simone said, “How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?” As is evidenced by the characters in The Revolutionists, art of various shapes and sizes can play an important role in confronting and challenging important political and social issues. For centuries, women like Olympes de Gouges have used the power of the pen, the paintbrush and the performance stage to demand their voices be heard. So just who are some of today’s artistic revolutionists? JUDY CHICAGO: One of the founding members of the Feminist Art Movement of the 1970s, Judy Chicago has advocated for new ways of making feminist art for over half a century. Her work aims to explore the historical and cultural representation of women, and reverse the stereotypes seen in many paintings, pictures, performances and installations. Her best-known piece, The Dinner Party, depicts 39 place settings at a dinner table for 39 invited guests, including Virginia Woolf, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner EVERYMAN THEATRE | 6
Truth and other legendary women—both real and imagined. The dinner table stands on The Heritage Floor, made up of more than 2,000 tiles—each inscribed with the name of one of 999 women who have made a mark on history. As Chicago herself wrote in The Guardian in 2012, “The Dinner Party demonstrated the power of art in that it overcame enormous resistance and is now part of art history, inspiring generations of young people with the stories of 1,038 courageous women.” For over 50 years now, Chicago has been a symbol of the fight for women’s rights to freedom of expression.
THE GUERRILLA GIRLS: Originally formed in 1985 (and still active today), The Guerrilla Girls is a group of female artists that uses a mix of humor, satire and outrageous visuals to bring gender and racial inequalities into focus within the greater arts community. In order to remain anonymous, members of the group wear gorilla masks and use names that refer to deceased female artists. During its early years, the group conducted a sexism study called “weenie counts,” which tabulated the male-to-female ratio of artists in the public collection of major art institutions. Among the findings they revealed was that 85% of the nude works on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art were of the female figure, while less than 5% of all work exhibited there was by women artists. In response to this, the Guerrilla Girls created their first color poster, which remains the group’s most iconic image. The poster asked “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” In 2002, the Guerilla Girls launched a billboard campaign that declared, “The Anatomically Correct Oscar. He’s white, like almost everyone who wins!” Several years later, the Group launched I’m not a feminist, but if I was, this is what I’d complain about…, an interactive graffiti wall that enabled women who didn’t identify as feminists the means to target gender issues with the hope that active participation would broaden their perspectives. In the past year, the Guerilla Girls made appearances at the Women’s Marches in DC, LA and NYC.
PUSSY RIOT: Through their unauthorized and provocative guerrilla-style concerts, the feminist punk rock band, Pussy Riot has been addressing such topics as feminism, LGBTQ rights, freedom of speech and opposition of Vladimir Putin, since they exploded on the scene.
In 2012, three members of the band were arrested for “hooliganism” and held without bail following a performance staged inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior, in protest of the Orthodox church leader’s support of Putin. They were eventually convicted of “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” and sentenced to two years in jail, resulting in worldwide protests and human rights groups campaigning for their release. While the members of the band have changed over the years, the group still exists and released the song “Make America Great Again” in 2016, in anticipation of a Trump presidency. Like their sisters of the French Revolution, today’s revolutionists continue to push the limits, stretch the boundaries and remain committed to the power of art as a vehicle for social change.

LEGENDARY WOMEN: FACT VERSUS FICTION By Laura Weiss
W
ith a full story to her name, Marie Antoinette’s life is often boiled down to four simple words—“Let them eat cake!”—words that, according to most historians, she didn’t even say.
Legendary female figures like Marie Antoinette are often reduced to myths of their beauty or sex appeal. But what of their brains? Their leadership? Their talents? These facts are often missing from the collective memory, however, women as leaders and heroes isn’t a myth. It’s reality—just not the reality that’s most often told.
Take a look into just a few stories of now-legendary women who represent much more than just a pretty face.
CLEOPATRA
JOAN OF ARC
The myth: No doubt when you hear the name “Cleopatra” you have visions of a beautiful Egyptian seductress a la Elizabeth Taylor as the famous Queen of the Nile. Cleopatra’s beauty and sex appeal have become something of legend.
The myth: The legend of Joan of Arc generally involves the image of a young girl who, through divine guidance, led troops into battle in France. She met her end when she was burned at the stake, accused of being a witch.
The real woman: In reality, Cleopatra’s intellect was what made her so irresistible. She spoke more than a dozen languages and was every bit the intellectual equal of her male counterparts.
The real woman: Indeed, Joan of Arc—who was actually named Jehanne d’Arc—was the 15th century French girl who had visions of saints who told her to support King Charles VII and help rid France of the English. Joan became an instrumental military leader and warrior, capturing Orleans, Paris and numerous other towns in an effort to free France from the English.
Cleopatra was also a fierce military leader. After her marriage to Marc Anthony (which caused great scandal), the Roman Senate declared war on Cleopatra. During the battles, she personally led dozens of Egyptian warships into war alongside Antony’s fleet. In a time when Egypt was in turmoil, Cleopatra held the country together and proved to be as powerful a leader as any man. EVERYMAN THEATRE | 8
Contrary to popular belief, Joan (who officially became Saint Joan, in 1920) was not burned at the stake for witchcraft. By May 1431, Joan had 12 charges brought against her—most of which had to do with her wearing men’s
clothing in battle. She was offered life imprisonment in exchange for an admission of guilt, however, she defied orders by donning men’s clothes and again claiming contact with saints. These two acts earned Joan a conviction as a “relapsed heretic” and sent her to the stake.
EVA PERÓN
ANNE BOLEYN The myth: Your knowledge of “Evita” may be limited to the musical based on her life, which probably invokes the image of a beautiful woman in a white dress on a balcony with her arms outstretched triumphantly.
The myth: The most famous of Henry VIII’s many wives, Anne Boleyn is often remembered for being a manipulating seductress who took Catherine of Aragon’s place on the British throne. Later, she was accused of witchcraft and beheaded. The real woman: As a child in England, Anne was said to have had a hunger for knowledge, always reading and studying all of the books that she could. This set her apart from other young ladies of noble families. When later serving in the French court, she shocked many with her fluency in French and her knowledge of diplomacy, history and politics. It is said that her level of knowledge and intelligence put many noble men to shame. Anne and King Henry married without the blessing of the pope and Anne gave birth to Elizabeth (who would later become one of the England’s most revered queens). Anne took her role as Queen seriously, focusing much of her efforts on improving the quality of life for the poor. Despite this dedication to the poor, however, she was seen as a status seeker and was generally disliked by the public. Anne was later falsely accused of incest and adultery. She remained calm and articulate while on trial. On May 19, 1536 she was beheaded at the Tower of London.
The real woman: Born into poverty in rural Argentina, Eva left home at the age of 15 and started a career in the theatre. After moving to Buenos Aires, she began campaigning for women to have the right to vote. She met a prominent politician, Juan Domingo Perón, and the two married in 1945. Six months later, she became the First Lady of Argentina. As First Lady, she championed such causes as women’s rights and improvement for the very poor. For the poor and lower class, she was seen as a savior; the military and upper class saw her as a threat. In 1952, she was given the title of “Spiritual Chief of the Nation,” however, just six months later, she died tragically young from a battle with cancer. Evita remains an important symbol for emancipation—especially for Latin American women—and she established a lasting humanitarian and political legacy.
“MARIE ANTOINETTE WAS A WOMAN, A MOTHER, A SCARED MORTAL PERSON NOT JUST A QUEEN. THE FUN OF WRITING ABOUT HISTORICAL WOMEN IS IN REVEALING THEIR HUMANITY, NOT INDULGING THEIR MYTHOLOGY. “ - Lauren Gunderson THE REVOLUTIONISTS | 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.
