WELCOME Dear Friends,

at Playhouse Square

n behalf of our artists, staff and Board of Trustees, welcome to Great Lakes Theater’s 55th season! Our mission, “to bring the pleasure, power, and relevance of classic theater to the widest possible audience,” guides our mainstage productions as well as our educational programming, in the belief that theater holds the capacity to illuminate truth and enduring values, celebrate and challenge human nature and actions, and provide our student audiences with a glimpse of a broader world and the wellspring of learning made possible through the arts. Following the stellar success of our fall and winter season offerings, My Fair Lady, Twelfth Night and A Christmas Carol, we are excited to be back onstage at the Hanna Theatre this spring with three great classics. After the tremendous response to Frederick Knott’s early masterpiece, Dial “M” for Murder (2015), we are thrilled to open our winter/spring season with his American crime drama, Wait Until Dark, directed by Joe Hanreddy. Mr. Hanreddy’s previous work with Great Lakes Theater, Richard III (2013) and King Lear (2015), has proven him a director of exquisite sensibilities for the psychological tension and terror of Mr. Knott’s 1960s game of cat and mouse. Opening March 31, and playing in a limited run through April 15, Great Lakes Theater will bring Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy, Hamlet, to the stage in a production steeped in the traditions of Shakespeare’s Globe Playhouse. For this production, we will transform the Hanna Theatre into an Elizabethan theater — including special seating areas onstage and surrounding the playing area downstage. This unique and intimate configuration will create an immersive experience for audiences daring enough to put themselves in direct contact with the acting company as they plunge us into the darkness of Shakespeare’s greatest revenge tragedy! And for dessert … the finale to our 55th anniversary season will be our first-ever production of Stuart Ross’ beloved jukebox musical, Forever Plaid, playing May 5–21. Resident Director Victoria Bussert brings her usual flair to a production starring four rising stars of the musical theater whose “angelic voices” will transport you to a nostalgic world of the 1950s. I encourage you to read through your program and look around the theater tonight; you will see the names of many friends, partners, corporations and foundations whose generous support makes all of this possible. We hope you will consider joining these donors by becoming a member of the Great Lakes Theater family with your gift! Complete membership information can be found in the brochure enclosed in this playbill. We extend our special appreciation to The Lubrizol Corporation and The Lubrizol Foundation for their support and sponsorship of Wait Until Dark. We also thank Shakespeare in American Communities (a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest) for a generous grant in support of our work to make Shakespeare’s Hamlet accessible to students from area schools through our Student Matinee Program. We are grateful to all of our sponsors and annual members, with continued appreciation to our partners of over 30 years at Playhouse Square and the tireless efforts of our Board of Trustees, dedicated administrative staff, gifted artists and the tremendous generosity of this community! I hope to see you in our audience again soon.

ABOUT GREAT LAKES THEATER

Great Lakes Theater’s fall 2016 production of My Fair Lady (Photo by Roger Mastroianni) he mission of Great Lakes Theater (GLT), through its main stage productions and its education programs, is to bring the pleasure, power and relevance of classic theater to the widest possible audience. Since the company’s inception in 1962, programming has been rooted in Shakespeare, but GLT’s commitment to great plays spans the breadth of all cultures, forms of theater and time periods –– including the 20th century –– and provides for the occasional mounting of new works that complement the classical repertoire. Classic theater holds the capacity to illuminate truth and enduring values, celebrate and challenge human nature and actions, revel in eloquent language, and preserve the traditions of diverse cultures and generate communal spirit. On its main stage and through its education programs, GLT seeks to create visceral, immediate experiences for participants, asserting theater’s historic role as a vehicle for advancing the common good and helping people make the joyful and meaningful connections between classic plays and their own lives. The company’s commitment to classic

theater is magnified in the educational programs that surround its productions. Since its inception, GLT has had a strong presence in area schools, bringing students to the theater for matinee performances and sending specially trained actor-teachers to the schools for weeklong residencies developed to explore classic drama from a theatrical point of view. GLT is equally dedicated to enhancing the theater experience for adult audiences through Surround, a series of community programs that explore the themes of a main stage production. To this end, GLT regularly serves as the catalyst for community events and programs in the arts and humanities that illuminate the plays on its stage. Great Lakes Theater is one of only a handful of American theaters that have stayed the course as a classic theater. As GLT moves into a new era with a permanent home in the Hanna Theatre, the company reaffirms its belief in the power of partnership, its determination to make this community a better place in which to live, and its commitment to ensure the legacy of classic theater in Cleveland.

Speaking the Speech

Each season, Great Lakes Theater’s board of trustees and staff recognize the extraordinary service, commitment and contributions of a select few team members with a GLT President’s Award. During this year’s ceremony (which took place at our annual holiday party), Samuel Hartwell (trustee pictured above with his wife Kim), Aled Davies (actor) and Tim Keo (actor-teacher) were bestowed the honor. Combined, in the community, on the stage and in classrooms across northern Ohio, they have dedicated over 42 years of service to Great Lakes Theater. We are grateful and inspired!

More than 15,000 students from more than 400 schools in a 20-county region of northeast Ohio will enjoy reducedprice tickets for Student Matinee performances of every Great Lakes Theater mainstage production this season. This is made possible through the generosity of many local funders, including the George Gund Foundation, Eaton Corp oration, the Harry K. and Emma R. Fox Charitable Foun dation, the Community Foundation of Lorain County and dozens of Raise Your Paddle for Education contributors at our annual fundraising gala. Thank you for your support of live theater for local students!

Teen orators take the stage! All winter, Great Lakes Theater’s education department has coordinated with the Cleveland Branch of the English-Speaking Union (ESU) to provide and present workshops and school contests prior to the annual ESU National Shakespeare Competition. This February, high school students from over 30 schools from Toledo to Youngstown will converge on Westlake High School for the culminating regional event. The winner will compete at the national level in New York City, with a chance to visit the Globe Theatre in London!

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE In 2002, Great Lakes Theater (Cleveland, Ohio) and Idaho Shakespeare Festival (Boise, Idaho) conceived a unique, strategic producing alliance designed to maximize return on organizational investments, increase production efficiencies, create long term work opportunities for artists and share best practices. In 2010, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival (Incline Village, Nevada) joined the collaborative â&#x20AC;&#x201D; further contributing to the momentum of the revolutionary producing prototype's success. The long term results have been remarkable. The alliance's three independent, 501c3 regional theaters have shared over 50 jointly-created productions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each featuring long term, multi-city employment opportunities for artistic company members. This revolutionary producing model has realized its vision and exceeded expectations while simultaneously resulting in notable audience growth for each company.

PLAYHOUSE SQUARE HISTORY

at Playhouse Square

Say Goodnight, Gracie

Legendary comedy duo George Burns and Gracie Allen were married in Cleveland January 7, 1926 during their Playhouse Square booking. A brief, early-morning ceremony was performed by a Justice of the Peace, after which the newlyweds checked into the Statler Hotel. George’s older brother and his family (who lived in Akron) came up to Cleveland that afternoon to celebrate with the couple before George and Gracie returned to their room to honeymoon. At 2 a.m. the phone rang. It was fellow comedian Jack Benny calling from Omaha. Immediately recognizing Jack’s voice, George cut him off saying, “Send up two orders of ham and eggs,” then hung up. Ten minutes later the phone rang. It was Benny again. This time George interrupted his friend with, “You forgot the ketchup!” and hung up on Benny a second time. Half an hour later came a knock at the door. It was a waiter with two orders of ham and eggs. Trying to keep a straight face the waiter announced, “Compliments of Mr. Jack Benny from Omaha!” As George liked to tell it, the newlyweds ate their Benny breakfast at 2:30 a.m., and, when they were done, Gracie said, “George, this was the high point of the night!”

Performers Help Restore Playhouse Square During her 1996 run of Kiss of the Spider Woman, legendary Broadway star Chita Rivera was given a guided tour of Playhouse Square. As she followed her tour guide into the State auditorium, an excited Chita pointed to the mezzanine railing and proudly exclaimed, I helped paint that! Indeed, she had. In 1984, Chita had last played Playhouse Square when much restoration remained, and during her free time willingly added her brush strokes to the history of the State. Likewise, Mary Travers of Peter, Paul & Mary fame also performed at the State Theatre several times during its early restoration. She became so enthusiastic over the restoration process that she would climb the scaffolding and help paint the ceiling. Like Chita, on a return visit, Mary pointed out the ceiling area that she had helped paint (justabove-and-to-the-left of the Men’s Room doorway on the mezzanine).

The GE Chandelier Officially the world’s largest outdoor chandelier, the 20-foot tall GE Chandelier is adorned with 4200 crystals. To find out how it was made, visit the Playhouse Square YouTube channel.

The STATE THEATRE Murals

A Change in History?

The four murals on the walls of the State Theatre lobby were painted by American Modernist James Daugherty (1890-1974), whose work hangs in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Smithsonian. One of the murals, The Spirit of Cinema, was featured on the cover of Life magazine on February 20, 1970. It was that national attention that became the convincing argument to save the venue from the wrecking ball. Destruction of the State would also have meant the loss of the original historic Daugherty murals, since they are painted directly on the walls. Today they are the only Daugherty works which remain at the original site where they were painted.

One of many fascinating items to be found in the book Playhouse Square: An Entertaining History deals with the infamous John Wilkes Booth. Booth performed locally at the old Academy of Music, which was one of the first drama schools in the country and was located at 1371 W. 6th Street. It was at that Cleveland Academy where he would play his last role prior to performing at Washington D.C.’s Ford Theatre where he would assassinate President Lincoln. (Might history have been changed if the Academy had held over Booth’s play for an extended run?)

CONNOR PALACE Trivia

HANNA THEATRE Trivia

Before the days of clothes dryers, touring performers were often forced to pull stilldamp clothes off the drying line when it was time to pack and leave. During the vaudeville era, the Connor Palace (known then as the Palace) became known as one of the most performer-friendly venues in the country because of its many backstage amenities, one of which included a drying room. In this large room, wet clothes could be hung and hot air was continuously blown into the area to hasten the drying time.

Since its opening in 1921, the Hanna Theatre has been the site of two world premieres: Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Me and Juliette in 1953 and, in 1974, Odyssey by Michel Legrand starring Yul Brynner. Another first occurred in 1937, when Gilbert and Sullivan’s first Cleveland-staged opera was performed at the Hanna by the D’Oyly Carte Company from London.

Singers’ Secrets

There Goes the Neighborhood! The 1870s ushered in the golden age for Euclid Avenue as the street became a stretch of grand mansions, with grounds often extending as far as Lake Erie, and stately elm trees arching over the avenue. Called Millionaire’s Row, it was the address where all the best families lived. But by Cleveland’s Centennial in 1896, Euclid Avenue residents were likely muttering, Well, there goes the neighborhood! as the dirt street was paved with sandstone, and businessmen began to buy up and tear down the mansions and towering elms to make way for commercial ventures. Streetcar lines on the once totally residential stretch hastened the creation of a commercial district, forcing wealthy families to move even farther east on Euclid Avenue. In another 30 years, the district would see the birth of the five main theaters that would eventually become Playhouse Square.

In his biography, Moe Howard & The Three Stooges, Moe Howard wrote about the plight of dressing rooms on the road. Although dressing rooms were usually spartan at best and a hovel at worst, Howard had nothing but praise for the Connor Palace (known then as the Palace Theatre): “This theater was built without missing a thought for the actors’ comfort. The Palace was beautiful not only outside and in the auditorium, but also backstage. Most impressive was the second floor, which sported a regulation-size pool table, chess tables, comfortable chairs, an ice machine and soft drinks, playing cards, cigars — it had all the facilities of a private club. In the basement was a laundry room. There was even a nursery for youngsters. Best of all were the dressing rooms, heavily carpeted with mirrored walls and make-up tables. They had everything in them, right down to padded coat hangers.”

GreatLakesTheater.org

Repeat three times: Performer packs pickle for perfect pipes. Singer Anita Baker surprised backstage workers during her sold out shows by keeping an ample supply of pickle juice in her dressing room — using it to gargle! (No report as to whether Anita acquired the pickle practice during her two pregnancies.) Likewise, another unusual gargling agent was the preference of singer Millie Jackson who required a certain imported beer as her gargle-of-choice.

What Would It Cost to Build Them Today? Even though the Connor Palace is not the largest of the Playhouse Square venues, it was the most costly to build ($3.5 million) by the time it premiered on Nov. 6, 1922. The largest theater, the State, (opened Feb. 5, 1921) was built at a cost of $2 million; the Ohio (Feb. 14, 1921) also cost $2 million, and the Allen’s costs totaled $1.9 million when it opened April 1, 1921. (Exact building costs for the Hanna Theatre — which opened March 28, 1921 — have yet to be uncovered.)
