An Enchanting Romantic Comedy

as you like it By William Shakespeare Directed by Edward Morgan

April 4 - 19 Comic twists and turns abound in the fertile Forest of Arden, where a disguised Rosalind seeks refuge after being wrongfully banished by her uncle. Her unfortunate exile is transformed into a charming adventure when she encounters some of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved characters - colorful fools, witty rustics, and the handsome, lovesick Orlando. A clandestine, gender-bending courtship ensues, changing the lost into unexpected lovers, in this timeless and transcendent romantic comedy. s p r i ng sponsor: Our production of As You Like It is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

Welcome

Producing Artistic Director

Dear Friends,

n behalf of our artists, staff, and Board of Trustees, welcome back to Great Lakes Theater’s 52nd 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 a glimpse of a broader world, and the wellspring of learning made possible through the arts.

We are thrilled to be back in the Hanna Theatre this spring as our season continues in the new year with Ira Levin’s award-winning and record-breaking thriller, Deathtrap (playing through March 16), followed by Shakespeare’s beautiful, boy-meets-girl as girl-playing-boy, romantic comedy, As You Like It (playing April 4-19). Throughout the spring season you will see many familiar names and faces from our astonishing core company of artists, educators, and technicians joined by artists making their Great Lakes debut. I am especially happy to welcome Edward Morgan making his directorial debut with Great Lakes Theater at the helm of As You Like It. Ed comes to Cleveland with an extensive background in Shakespeare and the classics as well as contemporary work and musical theater, having served for nearly a decade as Associate Artistic Director of Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, and working across the country from Santa Cruz Shakespeare Festival to Virginia Stage Company. His experience as a musician as well as a writer of musicals will no doubt inform his work on As You Like It – one of Shakespeare’s most musical of comedies! But we could not produce our work without the tireless efforts of our talented administrative staff, dedicated board of trustees, and the tremendous generosity of this community! As you look around the theater you will see the names of many friends, partners, corporations and foundations whose support makes all of this possible. We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of them, with special thanks to our Deathtrap Production Sponsors Bob and Janet Neary. We look forward to a future filled with ever more collaboration and creativity. Above all, thank you for your continued support; nothing is more important to Great Lakes Theater than our loyal and dedicated audience. To those seeing their first production tonight, we truly hope this experience will inspire you to return many, many, times! With gratitude and appreciation,

Charles Fee, Producing Artistic Director Great Lakes Theater

Ira Levin was twenty-two when he wrote his first novel, the award winning thriller A Kiss Before Dying, and twenty-five when, fresh from military service, he wrote his first play, the smash-hit adaptation of Mac Hyman’s No Time for Sergeants. In the years since, he has continued to work both sides of the literary street. His plays include the comedy hit Critics Choice, the musical Drat! The

Cat!, and the thrillers Veronica’s Room and Deathtrap. Among his novels are Rosemary’s Baby, generally credited (or blamed) for having sparked the current revival of occultism, The Stepford Wives, and the international best-seller, The Boys from Brazil, all of which have been made into successful films. His later plays include Footsteps and Cantorial, which enjoyed runs both offBroadway and in Florida. His best-selling novel Sliver has been made into a film. A native-born New Yorker, Mr. Levin is an alumnus of New York University and has three sons. In addition to his other accomplishments, he is a four-time winner (retired) of the New York Magazine Competition. Mr. Levin’s Deathtrap garnered a 1978 Tony Award nomination for Best Play and was awarded a special Edgar Award by Mystery Writers of America.

Knot Your Average Carpet The original carpet that adorned the Palace Theatre’s Grand Hall (main lobby) when the venue opened in 1922, was touted as the largest carpet in the world to be woven in one piece. Gray with wine-colored roses, the 67-foot by 40-foot carpet was created in Maffersdorf Czecho-Slovakia and contained 9,000,272 knots — all tied by hand.

Young STARS Shine At PlayhouseSquare You might see volunteer RedCoats from time to time who look like they’re not old enough to vote — and they aren’t. These youths are part of the successful STARS (Students Take A Role at the Square) program, where older students volunteer to usher at Broadway Series shows, concerts and other special events at the theaters. While the STARS program can be interesting and fun for all students, it becomes a particularly invaluable opportunity to gain experience and behind-thescenes knowledge for those students who are planning future careers in the performing arts.

Say Goodnight, Gracie Legendary comedy duo George Burns and Gracie Allen were married in Cleveland January 7, 1926 during their Palace Theatre 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!”

In the 1920s, women were being enticed by such advertising as “reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.” Although ladies who smoked in public were still frowned upon in 1922, the Palace Theatre management decided to buck the controversy by creating the private Egyptian Smoking Room. Located off the main lobby, it allowed female guests a proper place to smoke. The room’s walls were of Hindu design; its carved furniture upholstered in a black and gold brocade Egyptian motif; wrought iron Egyptian-styled lamps were topped with red silk shades, and a rare carpet from India covered the floor. Although the room retains the name of the Egyptian Smoking Room to this day, it is now used for administrative purposes because no smoking is allowed in any of the PlayhouseSquare spaces.

Great Lakes Theater

By 1925 the popularity of motion pictures was spelling the decline of vaudeville. Seeing the writing on the screen, the Keith organization (which ran the Palace Theatre) opted to introduce films into its schedule of reduced vaudeville bookings. The Iron Horse, a John Ford epic about the construction of the transcontinental railroad, was the first silent film to play the Palace. It starred George O’Brien and Madge Bellamy, and a ticket cost a whopping 25 cents!
