THE ROOMMATE | A
A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR By Vincent M. Lancisi, Artistic Director

elcome. This season I’ve selected three new plays in the lineup: The Roommate, Dot, and Los Otros. There is an abundance of new playwrights out there offering unique and fresh perspectives for audiences across the country. These current plays speak directly to us today, offering universal truths that reflect on the past and are worthy of consideration on our paths to the future. The Roommate is a perfect example of such a play. I am thrilled to introduce you to playwright Jen Silverman. If you’re not already familiar with her work, Jen is a dynamic and important new voice in the theatre. The play you are about to see caught me off guard at The Humana Festival of New Plays in Louisville. Her characters charmed me from the start and I laughed my way through the play rooting for them both to get what they want out of life. I found it to be a comedy of today, of issues that come directly from our times. It’s a play filled with discovery, with need, with listening and give and take. And it’s tremendously fun. No two Jen Silverman plays are alike. They differ wildly in style, substance, tone and subject matter. Strike that, they are usually about women but other than that one important theme, they are completely unique and original. Each play is dynamic and fascinating in its own right. Her voice is versatile and important and it’s my E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | B
pleasure to feature one sample of her brilliance here in The Roommate. Jen has created a new stock character for this play in Sharon. Sharon is that woman we all know, who lived her whole life by the rules—perhaps you even are her. She entered into the social contract of marriage and motherhood with a full commitment to serving others. After 25 years or so, she had the rug pulled out from under her and found herself alone in a big house. Her husband gone, her child grown and moved far away, she was left wondering, what happened? Many playwrights might have chosen this character for a tragic heroine, but Jen decided to pen a comedy asking, what if? What if she put an ad in the paper for a roommate? What if that roommate was completely different from her? What if she had the opportunity to discover who she really is? What if she could be naughty, and playful, and have a coming of age experience later in life? Playwright Jen Silverman looked around her and noticed a lack of good roles for women in their fifties in American Theatre. Instead of complaining about it, she wrote a play with two characters for actresses in this stage of life. A play that has something to say and a unique vantage point—and it’s brilliantly funny to boot. Meet Jen Silverman. She’s an important new voice in the theatre. I hope you like her as much as I do. Enjoy the show.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR By Jonathan K. Waller, Managing Director
T
here’s nothing like the intensity of a heated political campaign to remind us that there are common issues that affect us all. Plays also do this for me. Often, what’s happening on stage is a reflection of what’s happening in our real lives. Great stories can spark conversations that can positively impact our community if we choose to engage with each other about them. It’s one area where theatre can serve as more than just entertainment. There are many ways we try to foster these kinds of interactions at Everyman Theatre through intriguing programming like World of the Play, Taste of Everyman, Cast Conversations and more. But I’d like to tell you about our newest addition. It’s called ReWINEd. Starting this season, Everyman will partner with a neighborhood restaurant hotspot for each show (Dovecote Cafe in Reservoir Hill for the first few) and they will prepare a show-themed prix fixe menu for an intimate group of 15 or so. As we share the meal, a guest host helps us “ReWINEd” (there will be wine after all!) the play by sharing a relevant story from his/her life and then lead a conversation about how the play’s themes are connected to our real lives. For our first play this season, Wait Until Dark, where Susan uses her blindness to great advantage to outwit attackers, we focused on the question, “What have you E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | D
done to level the playing field and survive in your life?” The sold-out conversation was led by guest host and powerhouse local entrepreneur Chris Wilson, whose inspiring story found its way into a national presidential ad for Bernie Sanders. Chris started the evening by sharing his journey from a lifetime prison sentence to mentor, author, speaker and business owner, before opening the conversation up to the table. The evening was enthralling, and the dinner ended in handshakes and hugs as we left with a deeper connection to each other, ourselves, the play and our community. I’m proud that Everyman has made a commitment to creating intimate experiences like these that challenge us to listen, respect, and see each other as human beings. I hope you’ll consider joining us for some (or all!) of them. ReWINEd: The Roommate will be on November 6 and focus on “The Art of Starting Over.” It will be guest hosted by Caprece Jackson-Garrett, co-founder of Wear It Out Baltimore, which is dedicated to providing platform opportunities for local, independent designers and boutiques. ReWINEd: Dot will take place December 18. As always, thank you for your support of Everyman through your ticket purchases and tax-deductible donations. You help keep professional theatre and its many benefits affordable and accessible to us all.

A COLLABORATION BEGINS

elow is part of a conversation between Playwright Jen Silverman and Director Johanna Gruenhut. Read the full exchange at everymantheatre.org. Jen Silverman: How do you deal with the personal-professional boundary, as a director? Johanna Gruenhut: I think it depends on the project. With The Roommate, I feel like I know women who have bits of Sharon and Robyn in them. I bet Beth and Deborah do too. I'm looking forward to hearing those points of connection. There's always an entry point into a play for me that comes from a point of personal connection. I don't always share what that specific moment is. I don't usually have to look for those, they sort of jump out at me. Have you ever been to Iowa? JS: I lived in Iowa for three years, actually, when I was getting my MFA at the Iowa Playwrights Workshop. I loved it. I was initially pretty wary when I moved there—I think denizens of both coasts have a hugely prejudiced view of the middle of the country—but Iowa was E V E RYM A N T H E AT R E | F
a place that felt like an embrace. It was exactly where I needed to be, and I've missed it since. JG: Do you write every day? Is there a system in place? Do you give yourself rewards if you write x number of pages or sit for a set time period? Is it always writing for a specific purpose or is it more valuable to just get thoughts down on a page? Yesterday stage management was taping out the floor. I wondered—is it weird to know there's a process about to begin where you're not involved day to day? JS: I don't write every day—or, I don't write plays every day. (Emails shouldn't count, and yet…) Things work best when I manage to wrangle several consecutive days in a row, and then I do nothing but write. Otherwise, I write in chunks—an hour before something, an hour after, in the airport, whatever. My system is—just do it, don't whine about it, but don't do it when you know you're not ready. I love hearing about people's writing processes. I love it when processes begin that I'm not involved in! I love that at a certain point, plays go make their own way in the world.
How do you feel about working with a playwright in the room vs. working without one?
shared desire to make art and create for the joy of it without thinking about 'what it could do for my future...'
JG: I love having a playwright in the room. A one-word answer from a playwright has the ability to unlock a difficult line that then ricochets throughout the entire script. When the writer isn't around it's lonelier.
I, like you, tend to work with people over and over again. I appreciate the shorthand speech. I like the sibling or lover quality a working relationship can take on—the challenging tone in the pursuit of finding the magic. We push each other to ignite the spark. I like hearing different opinions in a room. And I've learned too that conflict can be good. But too much can be toxic.
Is writing for two women in their 50s different than writing another kind of character? What/did you learn anything writing in their voices? JS: Writing for any character is different than writing for another character, but the things that remain the same are respecting their points of view, letting them have depth. I don't want to write characters who don't have capacity for change, capacity for great humor or great damage. But the ways in which my characters access those things are different depending on whether they're women in their 50s, or 20s, or they're mastiffs, or queer Boops, or whatever. JG: What are the qualities you look for in a collaborator? JS: Qualities—a sense of humor. If we don't laugh at similar things—if we can't make each other laugh—it is never gonna work. Rigor. Facility with text and tone. The desire to make the thing well, as opposed to the desire to be right. (I hold myself to this standard as well.) My best collaborators—whether directors, designers, actors, dramaturgs—are people who challenge me, but do it with a purity of intention. They have a real respect for the thing being made, because they understand it, and so we have the same agenda even (especially) as we bring different lenses to the thing. What about you? What have made your best collaborations so good?
I read somewhere. Or heard from someone that, women of a certain age, or specifically mothers, are the last 'group' that we (Americans) as a culture are allowed to make fun of. There are no shortage of mom jokes—think SNL mom jeans, etc. Did we talk about this? Do you have a sense about it? I think about this a lot. And in terms of the play, Sharon and Robyn are determined to be good parents. But it can be a struggle to be the constant giver and not lose your sense of self in the effort. I suppose you could say the same about any give/take relationship. JS: I want to see more mothers—onstage or onscreen—doing things that help us expand our idea of what mothers are capable of. I think it's so limiting to tell generations of women, "you can be interesting people with complex minds and sexual charisma... until you have a kid, but you know, that's ok, let go of that now, you had your 20s." How destructive! I don’t accept it. Women who have lived long enough to accumulate life experience are fascinating and complex—I don’t see any reason why the experience of having a child should make you any less so.
JG: Patience. Empathy. Respect. Trust. Willingness to try and fail. A never ending appetite for discovery and revelation. The THE ROOMMATE | G
A poem in response to The Roommate by local poet, Amy Eisner
SOMEDAY I'LL ALWAYS KNEW I'D MISS YOU SO By Amy Eisner
One morning from inside upside-down hair you said We have butt loads of time so I said yes, butt loads of time and you said what did you say? I said what did YOU say? We have an abundance of time I'm sorry I lip read I was just excited to have a child to curse with to explore the meaning of butt and load that sort of abundance Instead as usual there were reasons I couldn't walk you to the bus By 7:32 I'd start fighting for my life and you'd go out to fight for yours

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 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 1995/96 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.
