setting the stage

by Matt TenBruggencate

Larry the Liquidator may only exist in a play, but the conditions that gave rise to the 1980s wave of corporate raiding Jerry Sterner dramatized in Other People’s Money were very real. And like leggings, synthpop and big hair, you might recognize a few trends from the “me decade” in today’s paper.

Recession Western economies lurched into the ‘80s with the most severe recession since the Great Depression.

Ballooning inflation and domestic stagnation at the beginning of the decade didn’t give the American government enough pause to consider their actions before deregulating parts of the banking sector – particularly around real estate lending.

The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act (1980) and the Gam-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act (1982) encouraged banks to rush into speculative real estate investments just as the market was collapsing.

Facing an over-high American dollar that discouraged exports, an increasing loss of blue-collar manufacturing jobs (once the backbone of the US economy) and spikes of unemployment, the US government brought in a contractionary monetary policy. By raising interest rates, selling bonds and requiring banks to hold more of their assets in reserve, the Fed (Federal Reserve System) tried to get a grip on out-of-control inflation and stem the failure of private banks (42 by mid 1982, with an additional 50 a year later). Nations around the world, including Canada, endured the same weak early years and reactionary economic policies.

Shark Repellent | Any number of measures that Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) | A federal agency that is responsible for enforcing laws regulating the securities industry and American stock and options exchanges.

13-D | A form that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The form is required when a person or group acquires more than 5% of a company’s shares. Once a 13-D is filed, that investment becomes public knowledge. In the case of a hostile takeover, public knowledge means others may begin to ride the coattails of a takeover artist by also purchasing stock, with the intention of profiting when the company is taken over then dismantled.

Greenmail | The practice of purchasing enough shares in a firm to threaten a takeover, thereby forcing the targeted firm to buy those shares back at a premium in order to suspend the takeover.

White Knight | A larger company that will rescue another company from a hostile takeover by buying it out in a non-hostile takeover, with the intention of allowing the targeted company to do business as they wish.

8

apr/may 2013

a company can take to make itself undesirable to an unwanted suitor (i.e. shark). The measures become triggered only if a takeover is announced or threatened. Although these measures are developed to fend off a takeover, they are often not in the best interest of the shareholder. Poison pills and golden parachutes are examples of shark repellents.

Poison Pill | A strategy where shareholders are given the right to buy more shares at a discounted rate if there is one shareholder who buys a certain amount.

For example, if someone buys 30% of a company’s stock, the other stockholders can buy more at a discounted rate, therefore diluting the worth of all the stock and making the company less valuable to a potential takeover artist.

Golden Parachute | An agreement that if a company is taken over, senior management will be paid substantial benefits by the predator company. A golden parachute makes a takeover less attractive to a predator due to the high costs (often paying senior management five or more years’ salary each).

Arbitrageur | Someone who purchases stocks in one market for immediate resale in another in the hope of profiting from the price differential.

Other People’s Money

“Recovery”

Raiding

Elected in 1980 for his promises of economic reform and a stronger stance against the Soviets, Ronald Reagan struggled to face the 1982 recession while staying true to his conservative ideals of across-the-board tax cuts and decreased government spending. The pragmatic conservative policies that emerged – increased foreign borrowing, high military spending and some tax cuts – coupled with a sharp drop in the price of oil spurred an economic recovery in 1983. Unemployment fell, GDP growth was at its highest rate since the mid-’70s and inflation dropped under 5 per cent. Reagan went from approval ratings hovering around 35 per cent to a landslide reelection in 1984, prompting a second term of economic growth and an exponentially increasing national debt.

While there were hostile corporate takeovers before the 1980s, a new trend boomed when a few high-profile venture capitalists orchestrated leveraged buyouts of major corporations, using a combination of equity and bank debt to purchase majority shares of a company, then selling assets to pay off the debt and pocket some quick, hefty cash. The purchase of card producer Gibson Greetings in 1982 for $80 million – followed by a $290 million initial public offering just 16 months later – is often quoted as the falling pebble that began the avalanche of private equity firms hunting companies they could chop up and sell for an easy return. In a still recovering mid-’80s economy with low interest rates, why build a business when you could buy and sell someone else’s, especially if you’re purchasing the sacrificial lamb with other people’s money?

Curtain Calls Director’s Notes

by Ann Hodges

I don’t usually start director’s notes talking about a movie.

But in the case of Other People’s Money, I must.

If you are familiar with the movie version of the play you are about to see, let me ask you now to please… forget it! By the time Jerry Sterner’s hit off-Broadway play had gone through the Hollywood movie-making machine, it had been sentimentalized, romanticized, sanitized, bowdlerized and simplified to such a degree that they hardly bear resemblance to each other. In my humble opinion, the Hollywood movie of Other People’s Money did a great disservice to what has remained one of the most popular and thoughtprovoking plays about business put on the stage.

So I ask you to kindly hit ‘delete’ on your inner PVR and instead get ready to watch an intriguing story – as Jerry Sterner originally told it.

So, about the play…

By the time it closed, Other People’s Money was one of off-Broadway’s longest-running plays at almost 1,000 performances, and had won the 1989 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play. It premiered at a time when a new, fascinatingly odious type of villain had recently appeared on the landscape of corporate America: the 10

apr/may 2013

Corporate Raider who preyed upon undervalued companies with the sole intention of taking them over, dismantling them and selling the various pieces at a huge profit. Audiences on both sides of the political spectrum loved the play’s frank examination of the circumstances surrounding the takeover of a mom-and-pop business by the colourful Lawrence Garfinkle, a.k.a. Larry the Liquidator. Wall Street suits pulled up in their limos every night to enjoy seeing one of their own onstage. Donald Trump himself apparently bought entire performances, inviting his Wall Street buddies to share this entertaining exposé of ‘the Game.’

On the other hand, others in the audience must have found the events of the story disturbingly familiar – perhaps a bit too close for comfort as the face of corporate America (and the world) underwent massive changes due to the pillageand-plunder tactics of raiders like Garfinkle. The corporate landscape changed forever due to these new predators, and companies learned to protect themselves with various anti-takeover tactics.

In fact, many of the defenses suggested by Kate in the play, which seemed so new when the play premiered – greenmail, poison pills, shark repellent and golden parachutes – are now frequently employed by thousands of companies to protect themselves against exactly the type of hostile takeover described in the play.

But, why tell a business story from almost 30 years ago? Because it’s not just a business story.

It’s a cautionary tale in which every character faces an almost Faustian choice that challenges their deepest values: “Do I have to sell my soul to get what I want? Must I compromise what I thought I’d held most dear?” As each member of the ‘family’ does their part to fend off the common enemy, they are forced to confront what they really value, and what is worth tossing aside. As Kate and Garfinkle banter, compete, and try to beat the other at ‘the Game,’ both discover more about themselves than they gambled on.

Another reason this tale is still worth telling is the understanding with which Jerry Sterner argues two points of view throughout the play. Sterner certainly knew the business world of which he wrote, and he walks us carefully (and entertainingly) through its complex machinations until we crash face-first into the implications and morality of our choices. Jorgenson, the old-school businessman who knows his key shareholders by

Other People’s Money name, expects his company to be run on the same values his father taught him, and fights to save the 1,200 jobs of his loyal workers. Garfinkle, on the other hand, recognizes that shareholders became shareholders because they want to make money, period.

I remember my first reading of the play, sitting comfortably on the side of Jorgenson until Garfinkle began to talk about buggy whips and obsolescence. Dang. Suddenly I understood Garfinkle’s point of view too. Despite still detesting his way of doing business – I got it: If you don’t change, you die. Hmmmmm.

“If you don’t

change, you

and Bea fought for, and, like Kate and Coles, face some rather uncomfortable truths about what I value and how my choices reflect that.

Most of all, I know that the effects of what happened during this volatile period in the business world are still being felt today throughout our society – as Garfinkle states, the question has shifted from “Ask not what your country can do for you” to “What’s in it for me?” to “What’s in it for me – today?”

die.”

It’s this shifting point of view that I find fascinating. Even our narrators shift – as if Garfinkle’s takeover tactics extend to the narration of the story itself. By the end of the play, I’m not sure exactly what’s right, or what should happen to the company. I feel torn about all the things Jorgenson

So that’s why I call it a cautionary tale. Other People’s Money is often witty and entertaining, sometimes disturbing and raunchy, but cautionary nonetheless – an “important tale that needs to be told” as Coles says. I’m so glad you’ve decided to come here, to a live theatre, so we can tell it to you. There’s no popcorn at this theatre, but there’s definitely lots to chew on.

Jerry Sterner Playwright

Brian Perchaluk Set & Costume Designer

Jerry Sterner was born in 1939 in the Bronx, New York. He was a businessman but playwriting was his true love. He graduated from New York City College in the 1950s and took a job with a graveyard shift so he could pursue his playwriting dreams. After failing to sell any of his scripts, he went into real estate.

Sterner invested wisely and he was able to quit his job and continue writing. His early plays include Tit for Tat and Be Happy for Me, but it wasn’t until Other People’s Money that he saw one of his plays come to life. It opened in 1989 at the Minetta Lane Theater.

Soon Sterner found out himself what it was like to lose money in the stock market; he lost approximately $500,000 when the stock market crashed in 1987. The success of his play more than balanced his losses, however. When Sterner died in 2001, he left behind his wife Jean and two daughters Emily James and Kate Shaffar.

Annual Giving

Making the Dream Happen “A business is more than the price of its stock. It is the place where we make our living, meet our friends and dream our dreams. It is, in every sense, the very fabric that binds our society together.” – Andrew Jorgenson, Other People’s Money Andrew Jorgenson’s words in Other People’s Money may well apply to a business, but if we replace the word business with the word theatre, his words also ring very true. Andrew is in a running battle with Lawrence Garfinkle, who wants to liquidate Andrew’s business strictly for financial reasons without regard for its employees or the community it serves. Jorgenson’s ideas reflect the ideal, the dream and a meaningful existence, while Garfinkle’s actions are all about economy and practicality. In the play, the two sides are in conflict. At the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, our goal is to keep both the dream and the practicality in delicate balance; something we strive for each season.

The statue Imagine, MTC outside the entrance of the John Hirsch Mainstage depicts MTC co-founders John Hirsch and Tom Hendry. John has his arms in the air and imagines the “dream,” while Tom, seated with his hand on his chin, ponders the “practical.” A great theatre must have both vision and the resources to make its dreams a reality.

A donation to our Annual Fund helps provide these much needed resources, as only 50% of ticket revenue covers our ‘practical’ needs. A gift also makes you a member of our donor family and has a very real impact in so many ways!

Your gift helps to: • maintain affordable ticket prices; • support our Monday Mix program, a series of pre-show chats with theatre professionals.

This year, more than 350 people took part in the sessions that preceded one performance of each play at the Mainstage; • welcome younger patrons through our doors with discount pricing and our Theatre for Young Audiences program (TFYA). Taking casual student attendance, student subscriptions and TFYA participants into account, more than 2,600 students have seen performances at MTC so far this season; • support our regional tour. This year, Ed’s Garage took live theatre to 23 communities in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario and entertained more than 4,600 patrons.

Donor Super Credit When considering making a gift to MTC, you may want to take advantage of a new tax credit introduced in the recent federal budget – the First Time Donor Super Credit (FDSC). The FDSC will increase the value of your federal Charitable Donations Tax Credit by 25% if you or your spouse has NOT claimed the credit since 2007. The FDSC will apply on up to $1,000 in cash donations claimed in any one taxation year from 2013 to 2017.

Become part of our donor family and make a gift to our Annual Fund. Help the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre continue to effectively balance its artistic dreams with our practical needs. We would be honoured to have your support.

Education & Outreach On the More Recent State of Things

I.O.U.: Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay by John Lanchester

MTC’s partnership with the Winnipeg Public Library will immerse you in the world of the play. With events and resources to prepare you before seeing a show or to enrich your experience after the production, Play on Words is designed with you in mind!

Further Reading…

On the Financial Mischief of the 1980s

Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco

by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar The definitive account of 1980s-style deal making, corporate mergers, and what was at the time the largest takeover in Wall Street history.

Den of Thieves by James B. Stewart Four top Wall Street players and the massive insidertrading scheme that made them billions – before they were caught and brought to justice.

Liar’s Poker: Rising Through the Wreckage on Wall Street

by Michael M. Lewis Lewis’ often humourous take on his own experiences as a bond trader in the 1980s and the greedy highstakes game known as liar’s poker.

Going for Broke: How Robert Campeau Bankrupted the Retail Industry, Jolted the Junk Bond Market, and Brought the Booming ‘80s to a Crashing Halt by John Rothchild The legacy of a Canadian real estate developer, financier and leveraged buyout enthusiast who bankrupted Bloomingdale’s, Abraham & Straus, Jordan Marsh and others.

Roger and Me (film) When his hometown was devastated by an automobile plant closure, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore tried to track down General Motors Chairman Roger B. Smith (the elusive Roger of the title) for an interview.

A devastating look at the victims of downsizing in the midst of the 1980s economic boom.

22

How could so many smart people be so dumb? This entertaining overview of the recent financial crisis explains how the booming global economy collapsed seemingly overnight.

Inside Job (film) A documentary examining the sources of the global financial crisis of 2008 through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians and journalists.

Some Fictional Explorations

Capital by John Lanchester It’s 2008 and the world’s financial markets are falling apart. The residents of Pepys Road in London receive anonymous postcards reading “We Want What You Have.” Who’s behind it, and what do they want? A novel of a city at a moment of extraordinary tension.

The Financial Lives of the Poets by Jess Walter Matt is losing his job, his house and his wife – until he discovers a way to possibly save his family from economic disaster. Of course, it happens to be illegal…

The Privileges by Jonathan Dee Wealthy New Yorkers Adam and Cynthia Morey seem to have it all, but they believe they deserve even more. As their marriage begins to collapse, Adam is confronted with an ethical choice that may destroy his family.

A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks A shady hedge fund manager touches several intersecting lives over seven days in London. The writing on the wall appears in letters ten feet high, but the characters refuse to see it in this vicious satire on modern life.

Wall Street (film) “Greed is good.” This 1987 classic features corporate raider Gordon Gekko, a composite of the most notorious private equity figures of the 1980s, and his scheme to take over a failing airline, lay off its employees, and strip its assets.

Local Hero (film) This charming film by Bill Forsyth portrays another clash of big business and small-town values, as a Texan oil executive is sent to acquire an entire Scottish village to make way for a refinery.

Education & Outreach

Expanding Your Experience: Outreach Programming to Enhance Your Appreciation of Theatre At MTC, we value our audiences as partners in the experience of live theatre. Audiences make an investment in us, and we hope to offer something in return: an opportunity to experience the “wow!”

– that transformative element that comes with a great performance. MTC’s Outreach programs aim to get audiences more involved and help them become more knowledgeable about theatrical arts, offering the opportunity for a deeper connection with the work on our stages and behind the scenes.

Expanded Outreach programming in our next season will include: • workshops led by theatre professionals at McNally Robinson Booksellers and the Winnipeg Public Library about topics like playwriting, set and costume design and construction;

• professional development opportunities for junior and senior high school theatre educators through workshops and opportunities for collaboration with theatre professionals;

• closer relationships with post-secondary theatre and education students, including reduced ticket prices and invitations to participate in events and projects;

• opportunities for first-time theatre-goers in remote communities to discover the magic of a night out at the theatre.

Watch for these new initiatives coming in the fall of 2013 by checking out www.mtc.mb.ca/outreach.

Are you interested in writing a study guide for MTC? We are looking for teachers, retired teachers, professors and other experts to create study guides for 2013/14. Contact our Outreach Manager at 204-934-0304 or outreach@mtc.mb.ca for more information.

We survey our subscribers and ticket buyers by email after each show, and the feedback is always helpful. If you’d like to have the opportunity to say your piece, please make sure that we have your email address and your permission to send you surveys. You can also email or call us with any comments about your experience at MTC. The most common concern continues to be parking. Here are some handy tips and information to improve your parking experience: • MTC does not control any of the parking lots in our area. The Manitoba Centennial Centre Corporation controls the lots that are adjacent to our John Hirsch Mainstage and Tom Hendry Warehouse theatres. If you do experience any challenges in those lots, please let us know, and we can contact the staff at MCCC on your behalf.

• There is a new parking map online at www.mtc.mb.ca/parking and that’s where we update any street closures or parking changes.

• Last year we had numerous complaints about slow machines; to our knowledge these machines have been replaced with faster models. Coins are still quicker for the machines to process than credit cards.

• There are parking lots in the neighbourhood that don’t fill up quickly, particularly those south of our theatre buildings. We recommend the lot at the corner of Rorie and Bannatyne; we have ushers waiting at the southeast corner theatre doors so, if you have your tickets in hand, you can save walking past the lobby.

• There are no significant updates on the new parkade planned for James Street adjacent to the Tom Hendry Warehouse but we continue to work with our sister arts organizations and the Centennial Concert Hall to push for this longer-term solution to our shared parking challenges.

final bow

The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre honours the passing of those dear to our theatre – people who’ve made a lasting contribution to this ephemeral art form.

Marni Kalef Marni Kalef began her career in the arts as a stage manager before serving as the Sound Technician from 1988 to 1992 at MTC’s Warehouse Theatre, where she worked on plays like Medea and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing. She went on to become one of the first female sound technicians at CBC Radio in the 1990s, later excelling as the CBC’s archivist and as head music librarian. Marni was creative, organized and passionate, and had a razor-sharp wit. She listened to her inner voice and followed her own truth. One friend remarked that Marni carved out a world that satisfied her need for creativity, order, beauty and individuality.

Andrew D.M. Ogaranko, Q.C. Andrew Ogaranko served on MTC’s Board of Trustees from 1990 to 1996 (including several years on the Executive Committee), before being invited to the theatre’s Advisory Council. At the time of his passing, he was also acting as the theatre’s legal counsel. He supported other arts organizations in many capacities including the National Arts Centre (Ottawa), City of Winnipeg Arts Advisory Council, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre, the Ukrainian Theatre and Prairie Theatre Exchange. He began his practice with Tupper Adams and after a few years moved to the law firm now known as Pitblado LLP, where he became senior partner and former managing partner. Andrew was appointed Queen’s Counsel at the age of 36.

He was a superb lawyer, dedicated family man and an explorer at heart, journeying intellectually, geographically, athletically and culturally.

Lloyd Thomas After serving in the Canadian military and spending time overseas, Lloyd Thomas attended the University of Manitoba, where he studied to be a farm veterinarian. Shortly after beginning his veterinary practice, a car accident changed everything. Lloyd had been a brilliant student and a compassionate doctor but a serious brain injury took away the knowledge he had worked so hard to acquire. Despite his loss, Lloyd persevered and took up scenic carpentry. He began working in the 32

apr/may 2013

film industry, learning new skills that eventually led him to MTC. For the past 23 years, Lloyd was part of the stage crew at the MTC Mainstage, but he never gave up his love of animals and farms. He worked hard to keep his family’s own farm alive and was seldom seen without his Blue Heeler dog by his side.

Craig Walls Craig Walls served as Executive Producer of the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival from 1992 until 1995, before becoming an Arts Development Consultant with the Manitoba Department of Culture, Heritage and Tourism. Craig later became Director of the Arts Branch in the same department, a position he held until his retirement in 2012. Before working at MTC, he also served as an instructor in the theatre programs at both the Universities of Manitoba and Winnipeg, as Artistic Director of Winnipeg’s Agassiz Theatre (directing Maureen Hunter’s first three plays including the Governor General’s Award-nominated Footprints on the Moon). He held an MFA from the University of Calgary and Bachelor’s degrees in Education and Arts from the University of Winnipeg. Craig made an indelible mark on the cultural life of our city and province.

Donald Yascheshyn Donny Yascheshyn served as the House Stage Hand at the MTC Mainstage from 1972 to 1979, beginning with A Streetcar Named Desire. He became Head Carpenter in 1979, working on such seminal productions as Balconville, The Taming of the Shrew, Grease and Amadeus. He brought his innovative skills and staging expertise to these positions and to his work at Rainbow Stage, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Centennial Concert Hall, the Shaw Festival and an array of national and international tours. While touring as Head Carpenter with the Dutch National Ballet in Washington, he met Nobel Peace Prize recipient Henry Kissinger in a receiving line, and asked, “How’s it going, Hank?” In 1986, a car accident curtailed his physical activities, but he remained a character, a talented storyteller, a rascal and a loyal friend to many, with a smile as broad as his shoulders.
