message from the
Artistic Director Welcome to Hadestown! This is my first season of programming as
Artistic Director of the Citadel. As I put together this season, the three words I kept in mind were: Innovative, Inclusive and International. I believe those three words are at the heart of who we are, and what we do here at the Citadel. And this incredible production of Hadestown is the perfect embodiment of all three. This production has come together through an incredible international partnership between Canadian and American theatre-makers, producers and performers. My immense thanks to our producing partners, particularly Mara Isaacs and Dale Franzen, who had the vision to see the exciting possibilities of this New York-Edmonton partnership; to Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Chavkin for sharing this visceral, heart-felt story with us; and to all of the incredible theatre-makers and artists from the US and Canada (and right here in Edmonton!) that worked together to create this outstanding production. I’m so glad you are here with us to be a part of it. Enjoy the show! Sincerely,
Daryl Cloran, Artistic Director
We wish to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is Treaty No. 6 territory and a traditional meeting ground and home of the First Nations, including both the treaty signatories – Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stony and Cree-Iroquois – as well as other Indigenous peoples, such as the Blackfoot and Métis, who occupied this land. We extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live, create and perform on this territory.

Students Club The Citadel Theatre believes that young people are integral to the artistic fabric of our community and we are committed to programming and initiatives that develop their creative voices and encourage their participation. The Maclab Students Club offers a unique glimpse into the world of professional theatre to a wide range of local junior and senior high school students. Prior to select performances of each of our Mainstage shows, Students Club members gather for a light supper and then participate in a highly engaging, interactive presentation with one of our region’s talented theatre artists, covering some aspect of theatre – from choreography to design, from stage combat to Shakespeare. Following the performance, students stay for an informative talkback with members of the production’s cast and crew. Prior to performances of Hadestown, students enjoyed an interactive workshop on musical composition with Matt Graham, an Edmonton-based musician, composer, performer, musical director and vocal coach. Matt recently premiered his original musical, Almost Heroes, at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival. Currently, Matt is working on his next two original musicals in addition to an album of contemporary rock music. He also teaches for the Citadel’s Foote Theatre School, is a faculty member of the Citadel Young Musical Company, and regularly directs music for Matt Graham Strathcona High School. Matt is a graduate of the MacEwan University Bachelors in Music Performance Degree. During the workshop, students learned what goes into composing a single piece of music and how that can eventually turn into a musical. Afterward they worked together to create the beginnings of an original song. They now understand how a composer uses music to support and heighten the audience’s awareness of theme, mood, and story.

author’s Notes Working here in Edmonton,
I stopped into the Wee Book Inn on Jasper and bought a used copy of D’aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths, the illustrated children’s book where I first encountered Orpheus and Eurydice, Hades and Persephone, Hermes and the Fates. After many years of working on this story – from the early days in Vermont, to the album version, to the ever-evolving Rachel Chavkin production, which has brought us to the Citadel – it still makes me feel childlike wonder. And as deliberate as all of our work has been, the story remains to me something mysterious, dreamlike, and organic, pulled out of the ground like the root of a tree, or a folksong. I’m so grateful to the wise, warm, and truly inspired artists and producers who have come together to help us bring this story to life in Edmonton. “We’re gonna sing it again.” xo Anaïs

director’s Notes Since the premiere of Hadestown last summer at New York Theatre Workshop, numerous things have evolved: a full song was cut, and more sections were added; Anaïs revised rhymes and melodies to bring themes or characters more into focus; and we re-imagined the entire physical production for a proscenium house. Perhaps the biggest change is the addition of the Worker’s Chorus. This is a character we’ve long discussed, and their presence now refracts the central love stories in a profound way. Orpheus’ and Eurydice’s walk out of Hadestown is now not only for the two of them – it is for all the souls in this oppressive industrialized landscape who are wondering if they can change the rules. The beauty of Anaïs’ adaptation is to take this ancient narrative twist – that Hades tells Orpheus he can take Eurydice back to the land of the living, so long as he doesn’t look at her on the ascent – and reify it thru the lens of loneliness and solidarity. This is a play about a cosmic love story, and it’s also become one about fellowship, and thus trust: trust in your lover, and trust in your fellow workers. Anaïs’ rhymes are exhilarating on a line-by-line basis, with their unexpected slants and mixture of cleverness and earnestness, but they also accumulate into a larger thematic picture of barrenness and abundance, generosity and selfishness, love and fear. The themes of how oppressive regimes sow division between people to maintain power feel even more timely now than the original production, and my heart fills at the show’s final prophecy that “spring had come again.” It’s been a balm to continue our work this year, and to do so here in Edmonton. I’m grateful to the Citadel for being such a good home at a pivotal moment for the journey of this work. – Rachel Chavkin
message from the
executive Director Developing and producing new work has been my passion since the beginning of my career. What role do we have as artists, creators, artistic leaders, institutions, sponsors, donors, and funders to nurture new ideas until they become a physical reality? And what part do we play in sending them out into the world? These are questions that excite me. From the first English production of Hosanna by Michel Tremblay in the early 70s, to Penny Plain and The Daisy Theatre by Ronnie Burkett, to Vern Thiessen’s Vimy and Shakespeare’s Will, and many more, I have been privileged to play a part in developing Canadian work that has gone international. And now, in 2017, in a unique relationship with U.S. producing partners, the Citadel joins a family of supporters who have nurtured Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown on a long road that will hopefully lead to Broadway. Producing is a mix of intuition, guts, belief, chemistry, serendipity, teamwork, and love. We have it all on Hadestown! To complete my time as the Citadel’s ED on this note is pure joy for me, and it is my sincerest wish you will feel that joy too. Penny Ritco, Executive Director

The name Scrooge has permeated more deeply into common English usage than that of any other Dickensian character. How often do you come across the Barnacle Family (Little Dorrit) or Creaking (the severe headmaster of David Copperfield) as literary references? The name itself is probably based on an obscure English verb “to scrounge” meaning to press or squeeze but works on a more plebeian level as Dickens’ glorious onomatopoeic melting together of “scrape” and “ooze.” Dickens gets right down to it in the book. He describes Scrooge as “a tight fisted hand at the grindstone, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.” The author doesn’t give us a lengthy biography of Scrooge but we can unearth some clues as to who he was and the forces that made him. Dickens wrote the book in 1843, partly in reaction to a visit he made to an inner city school where he was appalled by the life of the children he saw there. There was also a parliamentary report that called attention to the plight of young children forced into labour. (Dickens also wrote A Christmas Carol to pull himself out of some very pressing debts – but that is another story). Since the book was designed to be a commentary on the times, it would have to be placed at the time it was written. We could accept the 1951 British film classic starring Alastair

Sim as a reliable source but the gravestone in that film, as revealed by the sepulchral figure of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, is blank – except for Scrooge’s name inexorably carved into the stone. One sharp-eyed viewer noticed an inscription seen in a momentary lightning flash in another (unnamed) film, and so took to the internet to triumphantly announce that Scrooge was born on February 7th, 1786. Now, the internet is no place for forensic research but if that film is to be given credibility, that would make Scrooge 57 at the time of his visitations. (Sim’s Scrooge is robustly into advanced middle age but usually the character looks older in films and stage productions. He certainly could be prematurely aged – Scrooge lived a hard life and people didn’t last long in the mid-19th century). In creating Scrooge, Dickens returned to a story he had written seven years before in his Pickwick Papers. It was called The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton, in which Scrooge’s literary cousin Gabriel Grubb, a gravedigger, witnesses a Christmas presentation by villagers but remains unmoved. Dickens describes Grubb as an “ill-conditioned cross grained surly fellow – a morose and lonely man who consorted with nobody but himself.” If his neighbours offer him a Christmas greeting, Grubb replies, not with “Humbug!” exactly, but with “a short sullen growl.” Grubb is kidnapped by a goblin and is shown the happiness of those around him – and a saintly little boy who dies and goes to a “happy heaven.” Sound familiar?

In the Victorian era, many in England harboured the same view as Scrooge toward the poor. There had been a surge in population. Thousands of unskilled people descended on the cities looking for work. For those that had jobs, the wages were hardly enough to support them. Scrooge was also a stand-in for two social philosophies that were much discussed at the time. One came from the cleric Thomas Malthus who believed that, given the world’s ever increasing population, there would soon be just too many people – leading to poverty and starvation. The malediction was “divinely imposed,” proclaimed the good Dr. Malthus, to “teach virtuous behaviour.” The other was the religious philosophy, Utilitarianism, which proposed that society should be set up to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Sounds benign enough but both were interpreted by many as suggesting that poor people were at fault for being poor and shouldn’t be helped. All others should only act in their own self-interest (much as Ayn Rand writes today). Observed the early unregenerate Scrooge, “I live in such a world of fools. What’s Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older but not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and have every item in ‘em through a round dozen of months presented dead against you?” When the two “portly gentlemen” approach Scrooge for a “gift for the poor” he growls that the poor might die and thus, “decrease the surplus population.”

As we know from his writings, Dickens spurned such self-serving (but still, alas, much in evidence) mindsets and wrote a vast body of work advancing sacrifice, altruism, generosity, and compassion. Dickens was certainly a humanitarian but no Christian theist – rejecting many of the practices of the church at the time. He did believe in powers beyond our ken – in A Christmas Carol, the supernatural time-shifting power of four ghosts to bring Scrooge (and the author’s readers) a fresh perspective. What Scrooge saw during the visit of his ghostly guides was his life, past, present and future, from the perspective of an outsider. He never knew what became of Belle, the woman who loved him, or what kind of a life his nephew lived after Scrooge threw him out of “Marley’s Ghost,” original illustration by his life because he fell in love with a penniless woman. (“‘Because John Leech from A Christmas Carol. you fell in love!’” growled Scrooge, as if that were the only one thing in the world more ridiculous than a merry Christmas.”) He had never observed the joyful and humble Cratchit family celebrate their modest Christmas supper. Dickens obviously believed in the possibility of change for the good. He stated that he hoped that his “little book” would change people’s attitudes toward the less fortunate –

particularly at Christmastime. In that desire, Dickens was hugely successful. The author did give new life to an old, tired and largely ignored Christian holiday and in doing so changed the face of the season forever. In those years, Christmas tended to be as bare as the Cratchit cupboard. The celebration had never quite recovered from Oliver Cromwell and his puritans. The great hymns of Christmas were largely forgotten and besides, the Industrial Revolution allowed little time for singing.
Charles Dickens at his writing desk.
At one time in his youth, Dickens considered being an actor. The realities of living in Victorian England, and early success as a journalist, soon put an end to that. But, throughout his life, Dickens carried on a love affair with the stage. He would present entertainments in his home, performing roles and telling tales. He first consented to read A Christmas Carol for a charity event before a crowd of working-class people in Birmingham in 1853. He loved it and set off on a reading career that soon eclipsed even his books. It might be observed that he was the first rock star – attracting huge crowds. Thousands stood in line when he presented his one-man show in Carnegie Hall in New York – hoping that a seat would become available in the sold-out house giving rise to the first “ticket scalpers.” His performances were described as “hypnotic.” Audience members fainted. On stage he imbued his performances with great physicality, reading in the grand Victorian manner – effectively cementing Scrooge (and other characters) in the minds of his adoring audiences. The author, with his usual vigorous work ethic, set out on an exhausting schedule that even Madonna would envy. His health was worsening and his doctors vainly pleaded with him to slow down. Shortly after a highly impassioned reading in 1870, Charles Dickens suffered a stroke. He died the next day. We may know little of Scrooge’s life but we really don’t have to. It is all there in Dickens’ resonant tale – a remarkable blend of darkness and light – that would (and did and continues) to melt even the frozen heart of Ebeneezer Scrooge. A Christmas Carol previews on Dec. 1 and runs through Dec. 23 on the Maclab stage.
