MARIN THEATRE COMPANY NATIVE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Marin Theatre Company acknowledges our theatre and administrative offices are located on the ancestral, occupied, and unceded land of the Coast Miwok peoples. We recognize we currently benefit from living and working on their traditional homelands, and affirm their sovereign rights as first peoples. We are committed to learning and to strengthening our relationships with members of our local community, and to work toward dismantling the harmful effects of white supremacy and colonization. We acknowledge the Coast Miwok as the original caretakers of this land. We pay our respects to the Coast Miwok community and their elders both past and present, as well as future generations.

The Coast Miwok, from the areas of Novato, Marshall, Tomales, San Rafael, Petaluma and Bodega, are members of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, a community which includes the Southern Pomo peoples from the Sebastopol area.

We pledge to build relationships with sovereign tribal nations and to never cease ongoing learning, to ensure Marin Theatre Company becomes a more inclusive and welcoming space.

LABOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We acknowledge that the country we live in today has been made possible by the labor of enslaved Africans and their descendants. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we acknowledge the tremors of anti-Black violence throughout the generations and the resulting impact that can still be felt and witnessed today.

Letter from Managing Director and CEO

Thank you for coming to our third production of the season, JUSTICE: A New Musical! As an organization, we are artistically committed to producing new works, and with this continued world premiere from our very own past playwright in residence Lauren M. Gunderson and award-winning musical team of Kait Kerrigan and Bree Lowdermilk, you’re witnessing history in the making.

This profound work dives deep into the humanity of the very fabric of our nation, justice system, and women leaders who have broken ground in our own time. As a woman and an arts leader who has broken ground myself at MTC, I know the importance of amplifying the stories of women leaders who inspire us to continue. Watching these women find power in their own right and community with each other, we’re provided a reflection of our own ability not only to connect with those around us but also find hope in the possibilities of our future together.

As our audience, you’re part of our community, and we believe it is our role to share these stories to inspire, connect with, and meet all of you. My hope is that the stories from Justices O’Connor, Ginsburg, and Sotomayor will stay with you, stimulating your mind and filling your heart as you return back into the world.

On April 2nd, we will have our first Marin Theatre Company Gala since the pandemic at the Mill Valley Community Center. I’d love for you to join us as we celebrate and “Recommit, Reconnect, and Reimagine” MTC!

Thank you for joining us to experience a new musical. We the people of Marin County and the greater Bay Area deserve more works like JUSTICE that you’re watching today. I look forward to seeing you at our special events and gala. Who knows what we can set ablaze—together.

SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR

Born Sandra Day on March 26, 1930, in El Paso, TX

In Office as Associate Justice September 25, 1981 – January 31, 2006

Now retired, Sandra Day O’Connor began her time on the bench of the Supreme Court as the first woman Justice to be both nominated and confirmed. Her senate confirmation was unanimous, and during her tenure from 1981 to 2006, she secured a reputation as a “centrist,” often siding with the Conservative bloc but still collaborating with and occasionally aligning with liberal members.

O’Connor’s early life presented both learning opportunities and obstacles to education, as there were limited schooling options for young women near the “Lazy B,” their family ranch in Duncan, AZ. After living her first seven years without running water or electricity at the Lazy B, O’Connor (nee Day) lived with her maternal grandmother in El Paso, Texas to attend the Radford School for Girls. For her eighth-grade year, O’Connor lived on the ranch and rode the bus 32 miles to school in El Paso, graduating high school two years early and sixth in her class.

Sandra Day O’Connor, in 2011, the 1st Female Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Library of Congress)

O’Connor’s law career started at Stanford Law School where she met fellow student John O’Connor, whom she married six months after her graduation in 1952. Her first job out of school was as a county deputy attorney in San Mateo, California, initially by offering to work for no salary and sharing space with a secretary. Though mothering three boys brought a pause to her formal employment, O’Connor stayed active in various political causes before

serving as assistant to the Attorney General of Arizona, followed by an appointment from the governor of Arizona for a vacancy in the Senate. This made her the first woman to serve as any state’s Majority Leader.

O’Connor was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan on August 19, 1981, and her confirmation hearing in September before the Senate Judiciary Committee was the first ever televised hearing of a Supreme Court Justice. Ten days later, O’Connor was confirmed by the Senate with a unanimous vote of 99-0.

— Sandra Day O’Connor, Opening Statement from Senate Nomination Hearings, September 9, 1981

Even after two years of service, The New York Times wrote an article referencing the “nine men” of the Supreme Court, prompting O’Connor to provide a written response, referring to herself as the FWOTSC - First Woman On The Supreme Court. O’Connor’s decisions often took a literal “case by case” approach that created both approval and criticism. In a politically divided court, she was known to often cast the swing vote, sometimes siding with the conservatives, and sometimes with the liberals. In an interview with NPR in 2013 called “‘Out Of Order’ At The Court: O’Connor On Being The First Female Justice,” O’Connor stated her feelings on the term: “I don’t like that term [swing vote]. I never did, and it’s not one that I like any better today. I don’t think any Justice — and I hope I was not one — would swing back and forth and just try to make decisions not based on legal principles but on where you thought the direction should go, and so I never liked that term.”

“It [the Supreme Court] is the body to which all Americans look for the ultimate protection of their rights. It is to the U.S. Supreme Court that we all turn when we seek that which we want most from our Government: equal justice under the law.”

O’Connor is sworn in by taking the Judicial Oath on September 25, 1981 by Chief Justice Warren Burger while her husband John O’Connor holds the family Bible. (Photo by Michael Evans, Reagan White House Photographs)

O’Connor’s decision to retire in July 2005 rested much on her desire to spend more time with her husband who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. After several delays, she retired on January 31, 2006, when she was succeeded on the Court by Justice Samuel Alito. In 2009, O’Connor founded iCivics, a web-based education project aimed at engaging middle school and high school students in civics. Later that year on August 12th, she received the nation’s highest honor awarded to a civilian from President Barack Obama, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for her lifetime of accomplishment and service to our country.

RUTH BADER GINSBURG

Born Joan Ruth Bader March 15, 1933, in Brooklyn, NY

In Office as Associate Justice August 10, 1993 – September 18, 2020

Passed Away September 18, 2020

Decades before declaring herself a “flaming feminist litigator,” (Sept. 2017, The Hill.com) Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, before attending Cornell University, where she met Martin Ginsburg who went on to attend Harvard Law School. She graduated at the top of her class in 1954 with a B.A. in Government and married Marty one month later. Ginsburg became a mother before starting her law journey at Harvard, where she was one of only 9 women in a class of about 500 men. She decided to transfer to Columbia Law School where she became the first woman to be on two major law reviews, the Harvard Law Review and the Columbia Law Review.

She graduated Columbia in 1959 tying for first in her class, but found it very difficult to find work because of her gender. She found herself teaching for many years as a law professor first at Rutgers then at Columbia, where she became the first female professor there to earn tenure. Her legal career has been defined by her activism for gender equality and women’s rights. In the 1970s, as director of the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, she won six landmark cases before the Supreme Court in the fight against gender discrimination. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed Ginsburg to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, where she served for thirteen years and was noted as a moderate and a consensusbuilder.

President Bill Clinton, reportedly looking to increase the Court’s diversity, nominated

her on June 22, 1993 to be the first Jewish justice since 1969, the second female and the first Jewish female justice of the Supreme Court. Ginsburg was confirmed by the Senate in a 96-3 vote on August 3, 1993 and sworn in on August 10th.

Culturally, Ginsburg became an icon largely due to her passionate dissents, large scale impact and seemingly fearless commentary, identified at times as “the notorious R.B.G.” as a twist on the Notorious B.I.G., an American rapper also from Brooklyn. Ruth embraced this moniker and became known as much for her passion as her measured approach to decision making.

With numerous memorable cases in her career, Ginsburg also battled and overcame cancer twice, ignoring calls for her retirement. While the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, Ginsburg was the only woman Justice from 2006 to 2009.

In addition to this solo tenure, groundbreaking representation, and clear advocacy for women’s rights in her court decisions, “the notorious R.B.G” famously gave her directive for when there are enough women Justices:

“So now the perception is, yes, women are here to stay. And when I’m sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court]? And I say when there are nine, people are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.”

— Ruth Bader Ginsburg

SONIA SOTOMAYOR

Born June 25, 1954 in New York City

Sworn in as Associate Justice on August 8, 2009

Sonia Sotomayor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 21 August 2009 (Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States, Photo by Steve Petteway)

In 1954, Juan, a factory worker and Celina, a nurse, two Puerto-Rican-born parents in the Bronx, New York, welcomed their daughter Sonia into the world. By 2009, their little girl had been confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Sonia Sotomayor’s path was paved with accomplishment. At seven years old, she overcame a diagnosis of Diabetes. Her father died of heart problems at age 42, when she was nine years old and her brother Juan, Junior was six, after which the young Sonia became fluent in English. She loved reading Nancy Drew mysteries and watching Perry Mason. She recalls that she knew she “was going to become an attorney, and I knew that when I was ten. Ten. That’s no jest.” Sotomayor’s mother worked hard to raise her daughter

Sonia and her son Juan as a single parent and managed to send her children to private Catholic school. Sotomayor graduated high school as valedictorian of her class. As a graduate of Princeton University, she received summa cum laude honors with a bachelor’s in history before attending and completing her law degree at Yale Law School. (See Family Photos at npr.com)

A 25-year-old Sonia Sotomayor worked as an Assistant District Attorney to the District Attorney of Manhattan, establishing herself as an imposing prosecutor who, despite her young age, would not get pushed around. She moved into private practice in NYC in 1984, making partner by 1988. Then in November of 1991, George W. Bush nominated Sotomayor to the United States District Court for the

Southern District of New York, where she served for six years — among her most notable cases was her “saving” of Major League Baseball in which her ruling ended the 1994 baseball strike after 232 days, the day before the new season was scheduled to begin.

In 1998, another president changed the course of her career when President Bill Clinton nominated Sotomayor to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit where she would hear more than 3,000 cases and write around 380 majority opinions over the next decade.

In 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor as Associate Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, where she received her confirmation from the Senate in a 68-31 vote divided mostly along party lines.

Sotomayor broke significant ground as the first woman of Color, first Hispanic, and first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court. The first case she heard was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, where she dissented from the majority, which held in favor of the rights of corporations in campaign finance. Within five years on the Court, she had carved an identity as a vocal advocate and tireless dissenter when compelled, especially in cases involving race, gender and ethnic identity. Sotomayor joined the liberal majority on several landmark cases. She ruled in the majority which upheld the Affordable Care Act twice, and in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

Sotomayor is also a published author, including an autobiography, books for young adults, and the children’s book Just Ask! about a garden with 12 children nurturing its growth, and through it discover the value of individualism. Sotomayor, inspired by her own experience with diabetes and its impact on how she is perceived explains, “Each of us is doing what we do best... Each child is doing something to contribute to the garden, despite how they’re differently able.” In a 2017 audio podcast called What It Takes by the American Academy of Achievement, Sotomayor talks about The Power of Words:

“Through reading, I escaped the bad parts of my life in the South Bronx. And, through books, I got to travel the world and the universe. It, to me, was a passport out of my childhood and it remains a way — through the power of words — to change the world.”

Sotomayor continues to serve on the Supreme Court to this day.
