FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO OF MARIN THEATRE COMPANY What a joy it is to welcome you to the New Year here at MTC! Joining this vibrant theatre company fulfilled a lifelong dream for me, and I have learned much since arriving in April 2021: that our patrons are engaged, enlightened people for whom compelling theatre is a way of life; that our staff and volunteers are among the hardest-working, passionate people I have ever had the privilege to partner with; and that now more than ever—after more than half a century of producing new plays—MTC is committed to bringing the voices of diverse, thoughtful, groundbreaking playwrights to the stage. This performance is no exception. Pass Over has thrilled audiences on multiple stages and on film including a triumphant Broadway engagement last autumn. Like the world, this play has undergone significant changes. At MTC, we are thrilled that we are able to present Pass Over to you despite a COVID-forced cancellation of our original engagement back in 2020, and we are delighted to stage the West Coast Premiere of the Broadway version now. As playwright Dominique Morisseau states in her Rules of Engagement, I invite you to “be an audience member that joins with others and allows a bit of breathing room. Exhale together. Laugh together. Say “amen” should you need to. This is community...”
