S E A T S

Welcome The Hot L Baltimore is the third play in our season about our public/private self. A hotel lobby in a residential hotel is a perfect setting for that collision: the warren of rooms above in which the private lives of its residents transpire; and the faded lobby—a meeting place, permeable to the street, a liminal space between public and private. Steppenwolf has a history with Lanford Wilson. His play, Balm in Gilead, was produced under John Malkovich’s direction in 1980. Among the cast were Gary Sinise, Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry (our three founders), Laurie Metcalf, Joan Allen, John Mahoney, Billy Petersen, Glenn Headly, Randy Arney, Fran Guinan, Tom Irwin, Rondi Reed, Al Wilder, Rick Snyder and Gary Cole. (Can you believe that cast?). I remember seeing the play in the Hull House, our former home on Broadway at Belmont. It was a singular and signature theater-going experience and the production went on to a New York production at Circle Rep that helped vault the company into national recognition. The way that the play captured the lives of nobodies—the forgotten and overlooked, the marginal and disdained—and gave them their own vividness and humanity, helped define the voice of Steppenwolf. Wilson is a playwright we feel as one of ours—something in us resonates with the fundamental humanity of his voice. Tina describes Hot L as a play about time, loss, decay and ruin—a play haunted by the ghosts of the past. The hotel itself is the central metaphor of the play and the play’s title, announcing this, communicates the decline of a one great establishment. One can imagine the hotel’s signage: the missing “e” standing in for all of the lost characters of Hotel Baltimore. The litany of loss is rife throughout the play. Each of the characters recollects—and laments—the decline of a cherished institution: the hotel itself; the railway system; a grandparent; a place of former employment. Wilson establishes these personal losses with the national canvas: he sets his play in 1973, a significant moment in the life of the country. The Paris Peace Accords are signed and the last U.S. troops are withdrawn from Vietnam. The play is set on Memorial Day, a day begun as a ritual of remembrance and reconciliation after the Civil War which, in the 20th century, became a national holiday in memory of all of the war dead. At the heart of the play is an awareness of civil war—both the historical event and the continuing legacy of war and social disruption.

we and what do we become when the bonds of community are disrupted? Who are we when we are fighting for survival? It’s to this point that Wilson peoples his play with prostitutes. These women—the Girl, April, Suzy— are survivors, dependent on their last resource, their own bodies. The boundary between the public and private is pressurized in these women: that which is most private is made publicly accessible. They are, like the hotel itself, a metaphor: a temporary residence for rent. And yet Wilson insists on their humanity, on their individual dreams, on the integrity of their right to survive. Everyone in the play is haunted by a past and everyone in the play is dreaming of a future. The intense fragility of our present moment—poised as it is between our haunting and our dream—is manifest in the community Wilson has assembled. I think that reconsidering The Hot L Baltimore in our present social moment is a useful opportunity. Most of us in the audience cannot imagine ourselves in the environment of the play. Homeless? In penury? Without family? But many among us have witnessed a family member or friend lose a job, a home, a social network. We read the newspaper: we watch our fellow citizens slip through the fragile structure that supported their lives and, if we are invested with an empathy and an imagination, we interrogate our own life-structure. I think that Wilson’s great gift as a playwright is just that empathetic imagination: America is his heartland—he asks us to wake up to the lost and forgotten among us and he asks us to acknowledge that they share the dream we all carry. A home, a place where we are known and that makes room for us. Wilson’s regard for our common home, the planet Earth, is also sounded. Jackie, a young woman traveling with her younger brother, Jamie, is on her way to Utah where she has bought plot of land she hears advertised on the radio. Jackie is concerned with the healthfulness of the food we eat—descrying the use of pesticides and chemicals—and attempting to care for her brother whom she describes as in poor health, by returning to a natural, farm-based life. Her dream is shattered when the Girl says, “Even I know better than to buy land from the radio. You can’t get farmland for that price nowhere.” The dream of a return to the garden is a swindle, Wilson seems to be saying. That innocence is gone. The Hot L Baltimore is a play that captures its moment in American life but it resonates out to our current moment. Our privacy is both a refuge and a loneliness. Our public sphere alternately debases and unites us. We need community, and we need the sanctity of our private dreaming, our singular integrity. Wilson’s deeply sympathetic portrait of this particular community awakens us to our own fragile bonds and to the wounded souls who are among us. Who are us.

Wilson creates a community of social misfits in Hot L because the changes in society register most acutely on the marginal among us, on those without a safety net. None of these characters can retreat to the safety of family or the security of employment—the loss of home is a seismic event in their lives: there is no other refuge. Wilson asks us: what does that look like? Who are

How Lanford Wilson Finds the Poetry in Everyday Life:

still interested in, as I approach The Hot L Baltimore, which is a dedication to the truth, a straight ahead, no-nonsense, almost documentary approach, coupled with what seems contradictory: a deeply poetic sensibility. In Wilson’s work there is such a beautiful poetry, where something comes out of the everyday and transcends it, and becomes a kind of realism and poetry at the same time. Which is I guess why people call it Poetic Realism.

“I am very attracted to the natural poetry in speech… I think of it very much as writing music and telling the story at the same time.” −Lanford Wilson TK: People compare him to Chekhov for very good reason, because he writes with melancholy and nuance of character.

A discussion with Director Tina Landau and Steppenwolf Co-Founder Terry Kinney, who appeared in Steppenwolf’s pivotal 1980 production of Wilson’s Balm in Gilead, which later transferred to New York. By Associate Producer Rebecca Rugg

Rebecca Rugg: Can we start by talking about each of your histories and experiences with Lanford Wilson’s voice and work? Terry Kinney: I found Balm in Gilead while I was looking for a play for a directing class project in school. If there was one common element, amongst the people that became the first generation of Steppenwolf, it was that we were attracted to people who you would cross the street to avoid in real life. We wanted to play them, we wanted to humanize them. We passed around Balm in Gilead for years and always wanted to do it. Tina Landau: My first encounter with a Lanford Wilson production was seeing Steppenwolf’s Balm in Gilead in New York in 1984, when I had just graduated from college. To this day, I list that production, along with Giorgio Strehler’s La Tempestas, as two of the most influential and meaningful works to me. Both have something I’m

RR: Wilson seems to be telling a larger history through these very democratic plays, through the pedestrian lives of marginal people. Who is he speaking for as an American playwright? TL: From what I understand, he came from a quasi-rural Midwestern background, then traveled into and lived in urban centers. He has talked about his experiences growing up in Missouri and hustling in New York. Like Walt Whitman’s “I hear America singing,” Wilson’s writing is a marriage of so many disparate languages and experiences. He’s managed in his own way to create a melting pot that comes from his own experiences in America.

“For me, The Hot L Baltimore is a play about losers refusing to lose. To me they’re brave people. They are survivors.” −LW

TL: The openness and the overtly musical structure of Balm in Gilead and The Hot L Baltimore make me realize how these pieces are kind of democratic. The hierarchy is all out of whack in this interesting way, so The Hot L Baltimore seems to focus less on event and plot than it does on character, for instance.

“…Being compared to Chekhov? It’s because we’re both trying to concentrate on character and theme (and story—although they say we aren’t)—and action be damned in a way… It’s not a plot at all, it’s character. I’ve sat in front of those (plot-driven) plays in awe. I sat in front of the first act of Deathtrap in awe. I couldn’t believe my eyes. How on earth can anyone do that?” −LW

Lanford Wilson

Balm in Gilead, 1980

He was very interested in what everybody else was doing, what everybody else liked, where the culture was headed, where it wasn’t headed, and he took it on to challenge himself in that way.

Fifth of July, 1978

“None of us are taking the risks we should be. It’s never chancy enough, never risky enough.” −LW

RR: Wilson’s plays Fifth of July and Burn This seem very different from Balm in Gilead and The Hot L Baltimore. How do you think his plays change over time?

TK: In Fifth of July, he charged himself to capture in a way that was not just selfaware or cloying, in a way that wasn’t bitter or whining, the hangover that our generation felt so intensely at the end of the Vietnam War and the peace movement that failed so miserably. He was really angry with the country we became, the country that we’re going to become. He was talking to a country that was going to live within the embrace of endless war, endless conflict.

TL: On the one hand, in all his work, Wilson remains committed to probing truth, and, like Chekhov, a compassionate approach to character. At the same time, formally, from the one-acts of the 1960s to later full plays of the 1980s, his work is all over the map. I get this image of a man who is really kind of relentless in his exploration of the theatrical form and limits. Terry, is he like that? What’s he like as a person? TK: He’s a lovely person first of all. I would guess that the best way to describe him in general would be “out in the world.” He is fully out in the world. He was a playwright who hung out with the actors in the world, talked to everybody at the bar.

Balm in Gilead, 1980

RR: How does his work speak to our present moment? TL: In The Hot L Baltimore, we’re in the year 1973, which I think of as being a tipping point, when the energy and ideals of the recent past are shifting. We’re talking about a hotel that represents the past, and people with dreams are trying to imagine a future. The hotel is going to be torn down because of commerce and the economy, an incoming thrust of urban planning and gentrification. But the play asks, “As we tear down our past, where does it go?” Is the past really gone or is it part of the air in our present?

in Tucson was just the very beginning. And of course the late 1960s and early 1970s were rife with all of that. We were gravely disappointed because we knew that it was up to us. We made a promise to each other, to ourselves that we were going to change it. What we did instead was insure the fact that it was going to just stay the way it was. TL: It’s a long view, but it’s a helpful and important view.

“We have a history in this country of just ripping down and starting over and it seems a “The play chronicles the effects of decay; what little capricious or something. I’m not didactic, but I think I’m saying, ‘Look at what you’re the people have done to the city, what the throwing away. At least as it’s going over the city has done to them.” −LW fence, check it out.’” −LW TK: We are coming to the point again where violence is one of the few ways to express the discontent with power. We’re coming to another violent cycle I think. The shooting

from urban boom to urban bust By: Literary Apprentice Kelly Kerwin

“Everything that’s built crumbles in time: buildings, cultures, fortunes, and lives.” —Ross Lipman, American Filmmaker

L anford Wilson, born and bred in small-town Missouri, moved to Chicago at the age of 19 and began a life-long love affair with urban living—just at the moment America’s cities began to decline. Between his move to Chicago in 1956 and when he wrote The Hot L Baltimore in 1973, Wilson witnessed the tail-end of America’s first great urban age and the surprisingly rapid decline—and destruction—of formerly vital neighborhoods. In his words, “I got to Chicago just as they were tearing down every Frank Lloyd Wright building they could get their hands on. There would be a dozen ugly buildings in a row, and they would tear down the brilliant Frank Lloyd Wright building for a parking lot.” Although Hot L is set in Baltimore, the play crystalizes Wilson’s decades-long concern over the

fate of America’s cities. It was a concern born right here, in Chicago, when Wilson mourned the destruction of buildings that served as ghostly witnesses of a brighter past. From the day it opened in 1926, through the end World War II, an average of 18,000 people a week flooded the palatial faux-courtyard at the heart of Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, dancing the night away under its ceiling of synthetic stars. The Aragon was in good company; its location was at the bustling center of business in Chicago’s roaring Uptown neighborhood. Boasting an easy commute downtown on the “El,” Uptown had become a fashionable home for a new generation of Chicagoans. The prosperity of the neighborhood could be easily seen in the

mammoth scale of its businesses and the magnificent buildings they occupied. In the immediate vicinity of the Aragon alone, The Riviera, a 2,500-seat movie palace, touted its presence with lights dancing across a glittering marquee and The Green Mill Gardens, featuring outdoor seating for 2,000 patrons, offered lavish cuisine and nightly music. These buildings were the fruit of a boom of urban living in America that started in the late 19th century. Between 1870 and 1920, America’s urban population quadrupled in size; 1920 marked the first time in history that the number of Americans living in cities surpassed those residing in rural areas. Horatio Alger’s rags-to-riches stories popularized an urban icon of Americana, a challenge to the mythos of the gentleman farmer. This urban boom was, in many ways, a direct result of the nation’s unprecedented investment in rail infrastructure. Enticed by the government’s offer of easy loans and land grants for the construction of rail lines, private companies built thousands of miles of tracks. Chicago, a hub of this new transcontinental network, found itself at the core of the nationwide surge in urbanization. The city further expanded its reach with new streetcars and commuter trains—including the “El,” which opened its first line in 1892. What became known as “bright-light districts,” were home to gorgeous architectural wonders housing movie palaces, dance halls, theaters, restaurants, hotels and department stores. Movie palaces, such as the Chicago Theatre and the Uptown Theatre, promised nightly entertainment alongside vaudeville burlesques houses

like The Orpheum Theatre and the Trocadero Theatre. The Loop’s Morrison Hotel became famous as the tallest hotel in the nation. These buildings’ striking façades were ornamented with elaborate detail; their towers soared and their marquees blazed in the night.

In the 1950s, the vigor of American cities began to dissipate. A growing car culture made commuting popular, and the center of population growth began to migrate to the suburbs. As ever greater numbers of automobiles filled the nation’s newlycreated highways, Americans became less dependent upon the railroad’s routes and hubs. The railroad industry began to collapse, and the once chic, elegant clusters of housing and hotels around railroad terminuses grew obsolete. Parking lots and offices spaces became more profit-

able to downtown developers and, by the time the 1960s rolled around, many entertainment venues, restaurants and hotels faced the wrecking ball. The deterioration of American cities, begun in the 1950s and 1960s, had reached a point of crisis by the time Lanford Wilson started work on The Hot L Baltimore in 1973. Between 1970 and 1980, populations in some large cities dropped as much as 12 percent. The railroad industry, tied so intimately to the fortunes of the cities it connected, was in crisis, as well. In 1970, airlines carried 73 percent of passenger travel while railroads transported a meager 7.2 percent. That same year, Penn Central, the nation’s largest railroad company, declared bankruptcy. Without the economic engine of the railroad, nearby hotels and residential areas lost their allure and real estate values plummeted. This dynamic was powerfully felt in Chicago, which, having benefited disproportionately from the industry’s success, suffered its failures accordingly. These changing fortunes were etched on the city’s buildings and neighborhoods

themselves. Once-crowded buildings were abandoned and fell into ruin. Metal grating covered the once-gleaming windows of former dance halls and derelict façades offered little indication of the gourmet restaurants they once adorned. Although

Uptown’s cultural landmarks largely escaped demolition, decades of deterioration had taken their toll; they were closed indefinitely or transformed into seedy dives, shabby discount stores or corroding single-room occupancy hotels. As for the Aragon Ballroom, it had long ago stopped scheduling big bands and

dances and decades had passed since anyone dressed to match its elegant decor. A series of new owners promoted the venue as a skating rink, a boxing ring and a discotheque before, hoping to appease the neighborhood’s tough crowd, they transformed the ballroom into a hard rock venue, subsequently earning the nickname “Aragon Brawlroom.” In the 1970s, the era in which The Hot L Baltimore is set, the decline of America’s cities began to feel representative of a larger decline in the nation itself. The cities, once the epicenter of the country’s cultural and economic life, became associated with skyrocketing crime rates and race riots. America’s once-mighty economy was weakened by recession; its gleaming cars crippled by an energy crisis. Like the characters in The Hot L Baltimore, the American people were surrounded by a landscape that seemed corroded by decades of decay. The spirit of malaise of the American public became so palpable that President Jimmy Carter felt compelled to issue an address from the Oval Office on the subject: the infamous “Crisis of

Confidence” speech. Carter declared, “Our people are losing that faith, not only in government itself but in their ability as citizens to serve as the ultimate rulers and shapers of our democracy.” The President drew a connection between this malaise and the country’s dwindling connection with its history, “But just as we are losing our confidence in the future, we are also beginning to close the door on our past.” President Carter gave voice to a concern that seems also to have preoccupied Lanford Wilson. Surrounded by decay, despair and destruction, Lanford Wilson’s characters are confronted with the need to choose a path. As President Carter asked the American people, “Often you see paralysis and stagnation and drift. You don’t like it, and neither do I. What can we do?”

Five Minutes with...

The Hot L Baltimore Scenic Designer James Schuette

The Time of Your Life, 2002

You have also designed costumes for a number of Tina’s productions here at Steppenwolf. Do you find that your work in one area of design influences how you approach the other? JS: When I am working on a set design I always have rather clear ideas of what the characters could be wearing—and that informs the world I design. But the reverse is not true—in designing the costumes for a production, my perspective changes. I enter into the world that a set designer has created and work from that. The Hot L Baltimore is a play set specifically in the 1970s in Baltimore. Are there any historical hotels from that time period that you drew upon for inspiration? The Hot L Baltimore set model

James, you have worked with director Tina Landau on a number of Steppenwolf productions including The Brother/Sister Plays, Superior Donuts (on Broadway), The Tempest, Diary of Anne Frank and Time of Your Life. How do you begin conversing about set design with Tina? Is there a specific image or theme that you first begin to work from? And how has your previous work together informed your process on Hot L Baltimore? James Schuette: While Tina and I have done many shows together, and there is a certain shorthand that has developed over time, each show ends up being unique. Usually each of us will bring research to the table—a painting, a photograph, a book, a sketch—anything can start the conversation. Tina has a wonderful visual sense and does quite a lot of research herself, which in addition to my own gives us a lot of possibilities.

JS: While there are several great Baltimore hotels we looked at, we did not limit ourselves to just one hotel or one city. The Chelsea Hotel in New York, The El Dorado in Los Angeles and other hotels across the country all served as inspiration. Also memories of hotels I have stayed in over the years working at theatres across the country… there are some great ones in Berkeley and San Diego. The design really is a mash-up of all of these hotels—and ideas purely from the imagination. How do you balance historical truth and artistic expression in the theatrical interpretation of a real-life place? JS: While it is my desire to create something as realistic as possible, true to the period and architecturally correct—at some point I have to throw all that knowledge away and create a design that works for a particular theater, particular actors and that expresses a vision for the play. Lanford Wilson wrote a really beautiful description of the set for The Hot L Baltimore, “The theatre, evanescent itself, and for all we do perhaps itself disappearing here, seems the ideal place for the representation of the impermanence of our architecture.” That sums it all up.

Steppenwolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s History

In April 1991, Steppenwolf opened its new theater complex at 1650 North Halsted with the production of Another Time by Ronald Harwood, featuring ensemble members Terry Kinney, Rondi Reed and Molly Regan with guest artist Albert Finney... Now 20 years later, the Steppenwolf ensemble has grown to 43 deeply talented artists who represent a remarkable generation of actors, directors and playwrights. As the artistic home for the ensemble, Steppenwolf is a world-class theater and an ambassador for Chicago, bringing its groundbreaking, in-

Trustee George Joseph, along with his parents, Albert and Rosemary, and sister Janelle, made a generous gift to create the Experimental Theatre/Rehearsal Room, known today as the Upstairs Theatre. The inaugural production in 1993 was the world premiere of Picasso at the Lapin Agile by Steve Martin, directed by ensemble member Randall Arney and featuring ensemble members Tim Hopper, Tracy Letts, Jeff Perry and Rondi Reed. Steppenwolf audiences now regularly attend subscription plays in the Upstairs Theatre, as well as Steppenwolf for Young Adults and other special productions.

novative productions around the world. As we mark this occasion in April 2011, we honor the leadership and generosity of the many people who helped make a permanent home for Steppenwolf. Among these leaders we recognize several Steppenwolf Trustees for their foresight and savvy in helping a young troupe build their dream. Trustee Bruce Sagan, who served as President of the Steppenwolf Board during the construction of the theater, was the guiding force in knowing that Steppenwolf needed its own theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in Chicago. Bruce led a team of designers, architects, engineers, actors, board of directors and staff to raise the funds, negotiate the real estate deal with the help of Trustee Larry Block and create a theater building uniquely designed to showcase the work of the ensemble. To this day, the original theater, now known as the Downstairs Theatre, is still the most intimate theater space for actors and audiences to experience a play.

Finally, we remember Trustee Michael Morrison, a leading real estate attorney, who was instrumental in negotiating and acquiring our garage facility and rehearsal/administrative offices in the historic Yondorf Hall in the late 1990s. The first floor of the parking garage quickly became a black box theater, the Merle Reskin Garage Theatre, showcasing the work of emerging writers, directors, actors and designers. Michael helped Steppenwolf to envision a center of theaters and rehearsal spaces filled with ensemble members and young artists deeply involved in creating plays that provoke thought and stimulate conversation with our audiences. Steppenwolf continues to be guided by the wisdom and foresight of our trustees as we imagine an exciting future for the theater.

The Steppenwolf Ensemble The Steppenwolf ensemble first began performing in the mid-1970s in the basement of a Highland Park church, the ambitious brainchild of three high school and college friends: Jeff Perry, Terry Kinney and Gary Sinise. Fast forward 35 years and the Steppenwolf Theatre Company has become the nation’s premier ensemble theater—redefining the landscape of acting and performance. The ensemble has grown to 43 members who represent a remarkable generation of actors, directors and playwrights. Thrilling, powerful, ground-breaking productions from Balm in Gilead and The Grapes of Wrath to August: Osage County—and accolades that include the National Medal of Arts and nine Tony® Awards—have made the theatre legendary. Steppenwolf’s artistic force remains rooted in the original vision of its founders: an artist-driven theatre, whose vitality is defined by its sharp appetite for ground-breaking, innovative work. That work is represented in production photos displayed throughout the theatre.

If you or someone you know would like to utilize or learn more about one of these services (or if you just sprained your ankle that morning, and prefer a seat without steps), just let us know as soon as you can in advance of your visit! Audience Services 312-335-1650 TTY 312-335-3830 E-mail access@steppenwolf.org

Steppenwolf Customer Service tips In your car and on your way to the theatre? Rather than arriving to discover that our garage has reached capacity (which can happen during busy performances), please enter the Steppenwolf Parking Hotline (312-335-1774) into your cell phone and call us when you’re a few minutes away—we’ll tell you if there’s still space available in our parking facility, or suggest the most convenient alternative. Spending your intermission in line at the bar? Enjoy the entire break by ordering and paying for your intermission refreshments before the show. When you exit the theatre at the end of the first act, your drinks will be waiting for you. Need directions, restaurant information or the score of the ballgame? Visit our book shop and information desk at the south end of the lobby, and our concierge will find an answer for you. Hailing a cab after the play? This is typically an easy affair – Halsted is a busy street and sees a fair amount of taxi traffic. If you’d like assistance hailing a cab or calling a company, though, just ask a member of the house staff—we’re happy to help. Lost or Found? Just gotten home, only to discover you’ve lost something? Call the house manager’s office at 312-932-2445. Found an item? Please give it to a member of the house staff, along with the location where it was found. Want to provide feedback? Your input is always valuable to us and has several avenues. Have an opinion about the play or artistic content? Stick around for the post-show discussion featured after every performance, fill out the 60-Second Survey inserted in this program or visit the Steppenwolf blog at blog.steppenwolf.org. Have a comment about your overall experience at the theatre? Please ask us for a customer service form to fill out, or e-mail us at customerservice@steppenwolf.org. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the House Manager. The theater reserves the right to limit admission of children under the age of six. The taking of photographs and the use of any type of recording device is not allowed in the theater during performances and is a violation of state and federal copyright laws.

Exclusive Airline of Goodman Theatre

It wasn’t until she grew up and went off to college that Dad realized he only ever had one pride and joy. We know. We were there the whole time. And when you’ve been around for 75 years, you get to see a lot. Most importantly, you get to see generations of families grow to live healthy and inspired lives. So as the local health insurance company, nothing makes Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois more proud than to see our neighbors take with them the same security and trust that we’ve been providing for years. Because at 75, we still celebrate what’s closest to us – the wellness of you and your loved ones.

We’re down the street. We’re Blue Cross. And because we’re here, we’ll always be there.

Experience. Wellness. Everywhere.
