PROGRAM NOTES FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR As we launch our 39th season, we are thrilled to have both treasured colleagues and new friends join us for a season that fully voices our mission. Every year, we hope to widen fresh perspectives by enhancing our audience’s compassion. We want to entertain and enlighten you, and we hope to bring the world to Northlight as well as expose Northlight to the world.

We spent this past summer at the Galway Arts Festival, where our world premiere of Bruce Graham’s Stella & Lou moved Irish audiences just as it did here, and this season we’ll bring you Chapatti from Irish playwright Christian O’Reilly. Stella & Lou and Chapatti, starring Northlight favorite John Mahoney, both fully exemplify our desire to be a world class theatre.

Kimberly Senior, the director of last season’s powerful The Whipping Man, joins Northlight as an Artistic Associate and returns as a director to helm the Pulitzer Prize finalist 4000 Miles. This intergenerational family story is so moving and identifiable, each of you will see yourselves in its subtle journey.

It is a touching piece by Amy Herzog, the author of After the Revolution, which Kimberly directed so masterfully two seasons ago at Next Theatre.

We welcome Ron OJ Parson to direct Detroit ‘67, a glimpse of the Detroit race riots in 1967. Playwright Dominique Morisseau has penned a searing look at the faces and the stories behind a moment in Midwest history that has echoes today. I think you’ll find looking back at this event a revelation in light of Detroit’s current struggles to rise from economic disaster. Ron has directed towering productions of August Wilson’s work both in Chicago and across the country and Detroit ‘67 is clearly in his wheelhouse.

William Brown returns to direct Jon Jory’s uproarious adaptation of Tom Jones, the Henry Fielding classic that is fresh, funny, sexy, and audacious.

Bill’s wonderful gift for style and his irreverent sense of humor is perfect for this high flying classic. His productions of Lady Windermere’s Fan, She Stoops to Conquer, and Chalk Garden were all audience favorites here.

And in light of your response to Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple last season, we decided to present his Pulitzer Prize-winning Lost in Yonkers, directed

by Devon de Mayo, Artistic Director of Dog and Pony Theatre Company and director of the acclaimed Everything is Illuminated at Next Theatre last season.

These artists, these gifted colleagues, will truly bring our mission to life, bringing the world to Northlight and Northlight to the world.

BJ Jones, Artistic Director 4

PROGRAM NOTES IN HER OWN WORDS: AMY HERZOG ON 4000 MILES 4000 Miles is about a young man who stays with his grandmother in Greenwich Village for a few weeks following a crisis. She’s an old communist, he’s a belated hippie, and they’re both dealing with grief and figuring out how to be roommates. It’s my second play about this character Vera, an old New York lefty based on my grandmother, Leepee. Leepee is funny, dry, sassy, and devastating at 93. I try to do her justice.

I have a cousin who lives a kind of transcendentalist, hippie kind of life.

And he lost a friend about two summers ago, actually in a rafting accident. I really adore this cousin, and I was thinking about this experience that he was going through—of being so young and suffering such a major loss. And I was also interested in just the way he’s chosen to live his life kind of outside the mainstream. My grandmother has this very New York, older person’s existence that I’m also really interested in. We’re very close.

So starting with those two characters I invented this play, which was not at all based on any events or anything like that, but it was inspired by those two people.

I did feel very strongly about writing an older character with the dimensions that I observed in my grandmother, because I think there’s a way that older people can just disappear.

I feel my own grandmother’s fight to remain present and relevant in a very pronounced way.

The play takes place in New York City because it’s where Vera lives, but I was also interested in what that environment means to Leo, outdoorsman and latter-day tran-

scendentalist that he is. I biked across the country the summer after I graduated from college, and almost immediately thereafter moved to New York to embark on adult life.

It was a rude awakening in ways I didn’t recognize at the time ... I had been traveling across these expansive, gorgeous, lonely landscapes for two months, sometimes covering upwards of 70 miles without seeing a town, and urban life was a difficult adjustment. I missed the simplicity of life on the road and the feeling of accomplishment that came at the end of every day. For Leo, who has no plans beyond making his way to the Atlantic, and who has just suffered a devastating loss, the city must be even more disorienting. He navigated his way here from Seattle but he doesn’t know which direction his grandmother’s windows face.

FROM THE DIRECTOR I grew up in a house filled with books and I had the great pleasure of descending from a grandmother with opinions. Grandma Dotty never hesitated when commenting on someone’s physical appearance, their choice in boyfriend or clothing, or even bigger life choices. She also never hesitated to hold each of us to the highest standard, to maintain dignity even in the face of adversity, and to pursue what we wanted and what we deserved with equal passion. That isn’t necessarily where the parallels end between my life and the intricate world of 4000 Miles but it is certainly where they begin. Books equal knowledge which equals power which equals responsibility. All four of the characters in 4000 Miles have their politics, but it is when their politics become personal that they truly inhabit them, embrace their obstacles, and manifest their ideals. It is the “hippie” in Leo who gives a sad and dirty pumpkin to Bec and the “communist” in Vera who checks in on her unseen (but deeply felt) neighbor Ginny. These examples and many more populate the moment to moment intimacy explored in this richly textured play. My family is not as overtly political as the Josephs but their politics are observed in their deeds and the fervor with which my parents instilled their values in us.

This is my second opportunity to direct a play by the brilliant Amy Herzog, the first being After the Revolution at Next Theatre in April of 2012 where I will return to direct Amy’s play Great God Pan next April. I am so drawn to Amy’s work for her unsentimental yet deeply moving relationships, particularly among families, as they wrestle with what has come before, where they are now, and where they might be going. I am thrilled to introduce her work to the Northlight audience, an audience I have been a part of for many years.

Kimberly Senior, Director

PROGRAM NOTES DISSIDENCE & DRAMA HAVE FILLED UP HER LIFE: LEEPEE JOSEPH Her name, which started out as Amy Taft in Bridgeport, Connecticut, 91 years ago — “I was born at home!” she throws in helpfully — has, thanks to one of several marriages, been Lee Joseph for a good many decades now. The Lee is a shortened form of her lifelong nickname, Leepee. Joseph we’ll get to presently.

The silky white hair, hazel-brown eyes and fine-boned features bespeak the raving beauty she must have been.

She’s still pretty damn beautiful. Saucy, too. Sassy. And no bigger than a minute, in hip-hugging bluejeans that not many 91-year-olds would dare to wear.

“I was considered to be a very pretty young lady,” she says. “That always works for you in life.”

We’re in her apartment in a prewar building not far from the Jefferson Market Library, and at the moment she’s telling me about how, as a 17-year-old “doing secretarial work, I guess you’d call it, for the New York Drama Department” — before the onset of the New Deal’s Federal Theater Project — she’d changed her name from Amy Taft to Amy Toft to protect her parents, who were on home relief, and would have lost it had the snoops known of their daughter’s pittance in gainful employment.

“That office was in that big old building on Eighth Avenue at 16th Street” — the old Port Authority of New York and New Jersey headquarters. “I passed it twice this morning,” she says. “I walked home from 27th Street” — no little hike, regardless of age.

I told her I’d heard she used to hang out with Group Theater playwright Clifford Odets.

“No, no,” she says with emphasis. “I never knew Odets. I knew J. Edward Bromberg and John Garfield” — both also of the Group. “I took acting classes with Garfield. Progressive acting classes. I talked to him [by telephone] the night before he died.” May 20, 1952,

that would have been, the night before Garfield was to have to face the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

“He sounded just terrible,” she says. “I tried to convince him to come over, but he didn’t.”

“I was always a rebel,” says Lee Joseph.

“My first time of protest was when I was 4 or 5. I knew how to read, so they put me in first grade. But it turned out there was no room in first grade, so they put me back in kindergarten. I refused to go to kindergarten. That was my first protest.”

There would be more of them, many, many more.

She was born July 24, 1916.

“My father’s Russian name was Bruskin or Tapua, either one. Can’t be verified.

He was from Vilna, I think. My mother’s name was Rebecca. I have a bunch of his love letters to her — in English, yet.

His favorite author was — who wrote ‘The Call of the Wild’? … Yes, Jack London.

“I had three sisters — Espera, Vera and Jessie. My mother wanted to name me Libby, but my father said: ‘That’s not an American name,’ so I became Amy. He had worked in a bullets factory during World War I. They asked him to buy NORTHLIGHT THEATRE |

Leo’s cross-country bike journey

Liberty Bonds. My father refused, and got kicked out.

“When I was 9, we moved from Bridgeport to the Bronx. My father worked for Singer Sewing Machines, and also did labor organizing. He organized a strike of garment workers.

I was 13, I guess. I joined a progressive youth group called The Pioneers. I gave out leaflets asking for hot lunches for kids in school, and got arrested during a May Day protest. When I refused to take a test, a vice principal shouted: ‘Charge her with insubordination!’ I was put in the hands of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and when I wouldn’t eat their hot cereal I was dosed with castor oil.

“Finally after five days I was brought before a judge. There was a lawyer, Jacques B, who liked me, wanted to adopt me. When I got to be around 16 he wanted to marry me. He gave my mother flowers and candy and used to take me to theater … ” And? She shrugs, lets it go. Instead, she counts off the people in show business for whom she’s worked: Josh Logan, David Merrick, Irene Selznick, Gilbert Miller (“… the only time I was fired — he knew I didn’t like him”), Perry Como, Mary Martin and, most especially, Group Theater and Actors Studio cofounder Cheryl Crawford.

A play produced by Cheryl Crawford during that era was “Camino Real,” by Tennessee Williams, directed by Elia Kazan. It opened on Broadway in the spring of 1953. A year earlier, Kazan had gone before HUAC and named names of old leftist comrades.

“Now he hired some leftwing actors for this show. I never understood it.” (Simple guilt maybe?) “And I remember when Lee J. Cobb called a lot of his friends to tell them he was going to name them.” (Ditto.)

She herself was very much a part of those times.

“I don’t believe in belonging to an organization, but I participated.”

A place thronged with dissidents and high talents in the 1930s and early ’40s was Barney Josephson’s Café Society Downtown at 1 Sheridan Square.

One of the jobs that Lee Joseph had that was not theater oriented was in the New York office of a Minnesota construction company “that was building bases up north — and one of the things I had to do was get dates for the boys [construction workers] who came to town [New York City] without their wives. For entertainment, I took the boys from Minnesota to the jazz clubs on 54th [she means 52nd] Street and Café Society Downtown …”

PROGRAM NOTES … She may not believe “in belonging to an organization,” but in point of fact she is active at this very moment in the Greenwich Village Society for Peaceful Priorities — “We’re working on something about impeachment” — and has been “to zillions of demonstrations and to Washington, D.C., dozens of times — you leave at 4 or 5 in the morning and don’t get home until that night.” She was there when Martin Luther King, Jr., awakened the whole world to his dream; she’s been to antinuclear rallies in Central Park; she’s done research — “very exciting” — for C.D.I., the U.N.’s Center for Defense Information; she campaigned tirelessly for Bella Abzug for many years.

“I read. I see my family. I saw ‘Sicko.’

I sometimes go to the theater, but I don’t like to go to anything alone. I play tennis once a week. I’m playing tomorrow.”

And keeps in touch with everybody, including the worshipful niece, concert pianist Shirley Kirsten, of Fresno, California, who sat down and spent

THE OLD MOON

ABOUT NORTHLIGHT NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORTING NORTHLIGHT: INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTION SPONSORSHIPS We would like to thank all of the generous and steadfast supporters who have been so dedicated to Northlight Theatre. Your investment in our mission is vital to the Theatre’s continued success and we thank you for all that you do.

As you consider making a gift to Northlight this season, we would like to share a new opportunity for giving by becoming an Individual Production Sponsor. The sponsorships are part of a new fundraising model, one that allows our donors to directly support the art being created on our stage.

As an Individual Production Sponsor, you may choose to support any component of Northlight’s extraordinary programming – on the stage, in schools, and in our community. Opportunities include: • 2013-14 Mainstage Series • Arts Education Programs • Community Engagement Events

Tim Edward Rhoze and Sean Parris, The Whipping Man, 2013

Your Individual Production Sponsorship can be customized based on your personal interests and commitment to supporting the arts.

For more information, please contact Andria Venezia, Associate Director of Development, at avenezia@ northlight.org or 847.324.1613.
