Dear Friends, Welcome to the 79th season of the Ogunquit Playhouse! As always I am honored to welcome you to this grand old theatre, whether it is for the first time or for a return visit. Our company is proud to bring you a season in 2011 that is so much fun, it shouldn’t be legal! There is something for everyone at the Ogunquit Playhouse this year – an edgy hip show, a Broadway Golden Era Classic, a spectacular Blockbuster, a new hit show that is a fun romp for all ages and the East Coast premiere of a musical that will bring folks of a certain age back to their glory days (or should I say daze!).” And, each one of our shows is produced, cast and staged exclusively for the Ogunquit stage.

You will notice upon entering the lobby that this winter was spent renovating our antiquated rest rooms. In order to better accommodate our female patrons, we increased our rest room capacity to hopefully decrease waiting time and long lines incurred during intermissions in the past, and to overall improve our visitor services. The Royal Restrooms are a temporary measure while we continue to investigate how to expand our facility, while keeping within the National Historic Register guidelines we are dedicated to adhere to. For this season, we ask for our patrons to kindly bear with us, and use the Royal Rest Rooms installed on both the north and south side of our property. Again, these improvements, like the major reconstruction of our rigging system last year, all result from the RESTORATION FEEs you pay with every ticket. You personally have helped to strengthen the infrastructure of the Ogunquit Playhouse.

We are proud to be the east coast premiere of the brand new musical, Summer of Love, which features the powerful music of the late 1960s, by some of the most influential artists of the love generation: The Mamas and the Papas, Donovan, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and many more.

Roger Bean, the creator of this new musical has joined us to direct, while the amazing Lee Marino is on board as the choreographer. We have built this show from the ground up, including a new set

by Michael Carnahan and costumes designed by Bobby Pearce and as part of developing this new work, have worked directly with the creators in reworking the script and song list for our production.

Enjoy your groovy trip with this wonderful new musical paying homage to one of the most influential periods in our history - the Summer of Love!

Our season continues with the Broadway classic, The Music Man. This All-American favorite is filled with quirky characters and the award winning songs that have long become American standards: “76 Trombones,” “Till there Was You” and “Trouble.” Our dear friend and Emmy Award winning actress Sally Struthers returns to Ogunquit to star in Legally Blonde the Musical, the bulldog-toting-hairdresser Paulette! Join Sally, the cast and the Broadway dogs for this all singing, all dancing, feel-good musical based on the smash hit movie. The fall ushers in one of the most stunning Broadway blockbusters of all time, Miss Saigon, an epic love story that will touch your heart and haunt your memory. This compelling tale, a modern variation of Madame Butterfly by the creators of Les Misérables, with some of the most emotionally powerful songs ever written for the stage will be produced here on our stage in full glory.

The Ogunquit Playhouse is ready for a Summer of Love, Fun, Music, Dogs and Puppets! We hope you join us for every spectacular show this season!

elcome to a moment in time…

During the actual Summer of Love, over 100,000 people converged on the HaightAshbury neighborhood of San Francisco looking for utopia, creating a cultural phenomenon of musical and political rebellion not seen since in our nation.

Hippies and flower children gathered all around the country and Europe, but San Francisco was the birthplace of the counter-cultural movement, and the streets and parks of the city became a melting pot of music, drugs, politics and incredible creative expression. The sixties had exploded, and the Summer of Love was a defining moment for the youth of America.

In our Summer of Love, we have far less than 100,000 people onstage. Practical matters prevailed in that instance. In reality, I wanted to tell a smaller story about a specific group of people—one tribe, one family—and how they experienced this particular moment in time. But even further, I wanted to explore what specifically happened when outsiders came into the tribe. Would the family feel threatened?

Would they welcome the strangers with open arms? Is it possible to change someone’s mind with simple persuasion? I think there are lessons to be learned by taking a closer look at a strangely idealized part of our shared history. Human nature is human nature. The times may have changed, but truths are eternal.

During the many months I was creating Summer of Love, people asked me what it was about. For a while I wasn’t sure.

You could say Summer of Love is about peace and love. The counter-cultural revolution in the Haight-Ashbury was certainly about love and harmony, proponents often living together in communes while working toward the greater good of humanity. You could say it’s about the growing anti-war movement, and pushing to stop America’s involvement in the escalating conflict in Vietnam. You could also say it’s about the psychedelic drug experience and learning to lose inhibitions and expand your mind. You could also say it’s about inclusion, and learning to accept new people, ideas, and understanding into your lives.

But wrapped inside all of those ideas, Summer of Love is about family. Not our biological families, but our everyday families. As we move through life, we gather friends around us who become the family that we choose to stand by and support.

These are the people we hold close. These are the people we hold dear in our lives. These are the people that make life worth living. I suppose that this is what Summer of Love is really about.

Welcome to a moment in time. A time when love and peace were all that was needed to create a better world. Share the love. Share the land. Peace.

hat began on a warm evening in a renovated garage in Ogunquit’s town square during the summer of 1933, quickly blossomed into one of our country’s finest theatres and continues today as “America’s Foremost Summer Theatre.”

Broadway showman Walter Hartwig and his wife Maude dedicated their lives to bringing firstquality theatre to venues outside of New York City as part of the “Little Theatre Movement” of the 1920s and early 30s. When the Depression put an end to the Movement, the Harwig’s started The Ogunquit Playhouse in its original home in downtown Ogunquit. 1933-1936 the Manhattan Theatre Colony and brought it to the renowned art colony and summer resort town of Ogunquit. Hartwig’s reputation and connections to Broadway allowed him to persuade such theatre legends as Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore and Laurette Taylor to star with the resident company. The theatre experienced enormous success and soon sought larger quarters; Hartwig bought a parcel of land, part of the old Weare Farm on Route 1 and built the present-day Ogunquit Playhouse, which opened on July 17, 1937. Unlike other Summer Theatres of its day, which were renovated barns, garages or churches, the Ogunquit Playhouse was the first, and remains the only, summer theatre from the Summer Stock era built exclusively as a seasonal venue! For its time it was a state of the art building that rivaled many theatres in New York.

The Ogunquit Playhouse in its new home at the old Weare Farm on Route 1. 1937.

With Walter Hartwig’s death in 1941, his widow Maude stepped in to carry on his legacy. Maude kept the theatre alive and well during the turbulent years of WWII, which caused many summer theatres to close forever. In 1950 John Lane, then a young actor, was hired as general manager to help oversee production duties. He acquired the theatre and land from the retiring Maude in 1951. Joined by a new business partner, Henry Weller, they embarked on a long-range plan of modernizing and improving the building and grounds and without missing a beat, enhanced the tradition of excellence in entertainment on the Ogunquit stage. Through John Lane’s dedicated direction, professional integrity and impeccable taste, generations of theatergoers enjoyed the brightest stars and finest professional actors performing in Broadway’s best shows.

John Lane

After a long and successful career, John Lane retired in 1994. In order to perpetuate his legacy he spearheaded the formation of the Ogunquit Playhouse Foundation, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to “preserve and maintain the Ogunquit Playhouse as a community-based performing-arts center.”

John Lane transferred ownership to the newly formed Foundation in 1997, after $500,000 was raised to ensure the longevity and maintenance of the theatre and grounds. John’s extraordinary stewardship of the Ogunquit Playhouse ended after 46 years. Though John Lane passed away in the autumn of 2000, his Playhouse — our Playhouse — continues to be a dynamic testimony to his commitment to professional live theatre.

Sally Struthers as Dolly Levi “Hello, Dolly!” 2006

In September 1999 the Ogunquit Playhouse Foundation selected Roy M. Rogosin as Producing Artistic Director for the Playhouse to build a bridge between the legendary history of the Playhouse and the exciting and challenging future ahead. During this transition the Playhouse began to produce its own shows, designing and building

sets and costumes and bringing back the stars, including Sally Struthers and Lucie Arnaz. The Colony was restored as a center for youth theatre classes and performances as the Children’s Theatre Program began to grow and prosper.

2006 ushered in a new era as newly appointed Executive Artistic Director Bradford Kenney assumed the reigns. The Playhouse continued its tradition of excellence with regional premieres of two Broadway classics, Cabaret and Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, while continuing Richard Kind, Liz Larsen , Christian Hoff, Glory Crampton the tradition of star-studded productions with “Guys and Dolls” 2009 Andrea McArdle, Sally Struthers and Leslie Uggams all gracing the Playhouse stage. 2006 also brought additional improvements to the sound and lighting systems with grants from The Maine Arts Commission and The Donato J. Tramuto Foundation.Visitation more than doubled and the demand enabled the theatre to expand its season from the traditional 10 weeks to a 22-week season. For the first time in its history, the Playhouse opened its doors in May and extended the season into the fall making the Ogunquit Playhouse a true regional theatre.

Our 75th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary Season was celebrated in 2007 with star-studded shows, record breaking crowds and glorious Broadway costumes and sets for magnificent shows that included Crazy for You with Rue McClanahan, The King and I starring Lorenzo Lamas, The Full Monty starring Sally Struthers and Hunter Foster, La Cage aux Folles with Maxwell Caulfield and Hairspray starring Eddie Mekka and Ryan Landry. The 75th Anniversary Season raised the bar for the Ogunquit Playhouse setting the stage for “Broadway at the Beach” to continue and ensuring its place in history as “America’s Foremost Summer Theatre.”

For the first time in its history the Playhouse developed and offered special performances for middle and high school aged children in 2008. Performances of Fiddler on the Roof and Les Misérables were sold out to enthusiastic students from the seacoast region. In 2009, thanks to corporate funding from Bank of America and a grant from the Davis Family Foundation, the school performance and other outreach programs were able to grow.

Our Outreach efforts now include partnering with dozens of social service agencies throughout the region to bring less fortunate children and families to the Playhouse to enjoy live theatre. Thanks to our local business sponsors, granting institutions, members and donors, we are able to support these initiatives. In addition, the Ogunquit Playhouse also received American Masterpiece grants from the Maine Arts Commission for its productions of My Fair Lady and Guys and Dolls. In 2011, an exclusive performance for school groups is scheduled for the fall, offering students an opportunity to see Miss Saigon, the epic and haunting love story based on Madame Butterfly by the creators of Les Misérables.

In 2010, for the first time in 78 years the Ogunquit Playhouse Foundation invested in a new steel support system for the stage house section of the theatre – an entire steel skeleton now supports the building and a new rigging system. As opposed to hanging all this weight on our historic building, the new, stronger steel skeleton can support our scenery and curtains and can accommodate a much larger scale of hanging scenery if needed.

Stefanie Powers starring as Norma Desmond “Sunset Boulevard” 2010

The Ogunquit Playhouse marks its 79th season with the best Broadway musicals including a new edgy Tony Award winner, a timeless classic Broadway favorite, two Broadway blockbusters and the East Coast premiere of a brand new musical; all produced, cast and staged exclusively for the Ogunquit stage.

We are dedicated to producing the finest shows ever to appear on Broadway stages, right here on our own stage and to carrying on the legacy of the Ogunquit Playhouse – one that will continue to be enjoyed and appreciated by generations to come.

he Summer of Love – 1967 – was the peak of the Haight-Asbury experience – when over 100,000 youth descended upon this San Francisco neighborhood to spread the message of love, peace and brotherhood in a time of great turmoil and frustration over the Vietnam War and the established culture of the day. This counterculture movement gave the world flower power, free love and open lifestyles. In the midst of the Vietnam War many believed that a new outlook was necessary; one that involved love and happiness, not guns and violence. The hippie movement was a phenomenon that swept the nation and included psychedelic drug use, heavy rock music, anti-establishment ideals, sexual freedom and the rejection of American commercialism and materialism.

The mainstream media's coverage of hippie life in the Haight-Ashbury drew the attention of youth from all over America, as the activities in the area were reported almost daily in city newspapers across the nation. The July 7, 1967, Time Magazine cover story on "The Hippies: Philosophy of a Subculture" and an August CBS News television report on "The Hippie Temptation,” added to the enormous national attention and helped to fuel the counterculture movement across the country and around the world.

As the neighborhood's fame reached its peak, it became the haven for a number of psychedelic rock performers and groups starting out at the time including Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin, who lived in the neighborhood. These local bands and performers immortalized the scene in song and lived within the community as friends and family. During the "Summer of Love," psychedelic rock music was entering the mainstream, receiving more and more commercial radio airplay. The Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 was another catalyst for the hippie movement. It attracted 60,000 people and the national media, bringing heightened attention to the local Haight bands, shooting them to stardom. The song “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)” by the Mamas and the Papas was designed to promote the festival and became a top hit single that summer.

This time of riotous politics, creative expression and amazing music is the subject of Roger Bean’s latest musical, Summer of Love. He grew up listening to his mother

sing Mama Cass songs around the house and was familiar with the music of the era, but not where the music was coming from and what it was dealing with at the time. He decided to write a musical about the issues and motivations behind the music of the 60s and the people who came from conservative backgrounds and flocked to San Francisco to discover a new way of living.

Summer of Love had its world premiere on the west coast at the Long Beach regional theatre, Musical Theatre West in April 2011. The Ogunquit Playhouse is proud to present the east coast premiere, with a stellar cast including the beautiful and talented Michele Lee and a top notch design team. Choreographer Lee Martino just wrapped up the west coast premiere of Summer Of Love and just won her fourth Los Angeles Ovation Award for Carousel; Set Designer, Michael Carnahan whose works include both the west coast premiere and the Ogunquit Playhouse production of Summer of Love, just received a Tony Award nomination for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson as part of the production design team and is currently represented on Broadway in The Importance of Being Ernest; Costume Designer, Bobby Pearce has created the costumes for the Ogunquit production of Summer of Love, and was nominated for a Tony Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Broadway’s Taboo - his celebrity client list is a who’s who of Broadway divas, including: Bebe Neuwirth, Faith Prince, Madeline Kahn, Elizabeth Ashley, Cyd Charisse, Glenn Close, Leslie Uggams and Gwen Verdon. Also joining the creative team is Jeffrey Cady, production designer of SenovvA, the multi-media company for the Broadway production of American Idiot and the Academy Awards.

Summer of Love is still a work in progress! In this second incarnation of the show, as an audience member, you are part of a process that may see this musical make its way to New York, just as Roger Bean’s hit show, The Marvelous Wonderettes. Summer of Love features ten hippies who are part of a Haight-Ashbury “tribe,” a runaway bride and her jilted groom. Through the eyes of these hippies, the runaway bride discovers what she is running from and what she is looking for - she finds it in the music and with the hippies of Haight-Ashbury, like so many did in 1967.

Life Insurance: Do you have an old paid-up or not-so-paid-up life insurance policy kicking around? You can make the Playhouse the beneficiary and possibly qualify for a nice tax deduction right now and eliminate this asset from your estate. In addition, your life insurance will help support the future of the Playhouse for generations to come.

Real Estate: You love your home or vacation home, but may wish to give support to the Playhouse now by transferring ownership immediately while retaining your residence. You can maintain the right to live there until you no longer require a residence. Your generosity will support the Ogunquit Playhouse plus give you tax benefits.

If we’ve piqued your interest, please contact Advancement Committee Chair, Board Member John Rhoades, at the Playhouse to arrange a meeting with a charitable giving specialist who can provide more details and discuss all the appropriate options specific to your situation and needs. Mr. Rhoades can be reached through Jean Benda at the Playhouse: 207.646.2402 ext. 207.
