“THANKS TO KNEE RESURFACING AT SOUTH COUNTY HOSPITAL,

I’M BACK IN THE RACE.”

Tony Medeiros was a marathoner – until a knee injury sidelined him. He had to quit running, gained fifty pounds, and experienced increasing pain when he walked. “An orthopedic surgeon told me I needed a total knee replacement and I told him, ‘No, I don’t.’”

Tony was right. Dr. Robert Marchand of South County Orthopedics performed partial knee replacement surgery using the surgeon-controlled robotic arm MAKOplasty™ system. “Two days later, I’m home walking around, not even a crutch,” Tony remembers. And just three months after the surgery, he was running 5Ks again, winning 15 of the 17 races he competed in that year. “Dr. Marchand gave me my life back,” Tony says.

MAKOplasty Knee Resurfacing offers a minimally invasive treatment option for early and mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. And no one has more MAKOplasty experience than the surgeons at South County Hospital Orthopedics Center.

FROM THE richard l. bready ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

W

elcome to the final produc tion of our 50th anniversary season, Sam Shepard’s A Lie of the Mind. Appropriately, this moving, trenchant play serves as a bookend to the first production of our season, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. As in Steinbeck’s oeuvre, the main focus of Shepard’s writing is a clear-eyed meditation on the American family and the notion of the “American Dream.” I am thrilled we have found the perfect moment to consider Shepard’s work, as it seems particularly resonant today (more on that later).

Sam Shepard is a unique artist in the American landscape, one who is hard to pin down; is he an actor? A director? A screenwriter or a playwright? Indeed, he is accomplished at all of these things, although it is his actor persona that is most widely recognized and known. This screen presence is iconic — he often plays the American Everyman, a quiet, stolid, solitary citizen, sometimes also a cowboy and a loner. In real life, he is none of those things — he is a sober family man, who has been a part of the New York downtown literary and music scenes since the early ’60s — but it is this disconnect, this chimerical nature of the author, that inflects all of his work.

Are Shepard’s plays naturalism? Hardly.

They all grapple with the American myth of success and family, of ownership and belonging, but in a poetic and untethered fashion. Some critics consider Shepard a post-modern playwright whose work is a response to the unsettling fragmentation of self and society in contemporary America.

His characters are drifters, but not always in the literal sense — they are adrift in the currents of life, but certain they are in control of their own destinies. They believe they have some say in the outcome of their story.

Perhaps this is why his plays, and particularly A Lie of the Mind, seem so present tense (even though it premiered in 1985). Shepard asks not only who we are as Americans, but WHY we are who we are. His characters cling to seemingly fixed objects like family, country and home, all while the currents of life sweep them along, sweep them away. His people are caught in violent times without the tools to understand what is happening to them, and yet they must persevere.

If this sounds harsh or unyielding, I don’t mean it to be so. Frank Rich, writing about the premiere of the play nearly 30

2:45 PM

Trinity Lie of the Mind _2014.indd 5

years ago said, “A Lie of the Mind may be its author’s most romantic play. However bleak and chilly its terrain… [t]here is always hope….” Shepard’s play is filled with a poetry, with a music (both literal and figurative), with a vital sense of hope in the face of confusion that makes it essential for audiences today.

I

also want to take this opportunity to say thank you for joining us during our 50th anniversary season. As I look back on our accomplishments this year, I realize that we are blessed with so many gifts here at Trinity Rep, but everything starts on our stages. We have seen extraordinary work from our remarkably talented acting company — Stephen Thorne as Tom Joad, Anne Scurria as Ma Joad; Brian McEleney and Janice Duclos and Phyllis Kay as Vanya and Sonia and Masha; Fred Sullivan, Jr. as Scrooge; Mia Ellis, Mauro Hantman, Barbara Meek, and Joe Wilson, Jr. in Intimate Apparel; Rachael Warren as Nancy, Stephen Berenson as Fagin; Angela Brazil as Veronica Meadows; and now Timothy Crowe, Rebecca Gibel, and Charlie Thurston in Lie of the Mind. Imagine how lucky we are, as an audience, to have this level of acting in our community.

And they are in our community. They are teachers, advocates, civic-minded artists — Trinity Rep’s actors find their work offstage just as important as their work onstage. And ultimately, as proud as I am of the world class artistry, I am equally proud of Trinity Rep for our work as a cultural resource for the community. Around 20,000 students will have seen our productions this season, and many of those students will have received in-school workshops taught by our actors and incredible education department staff. Retirees, kids on the autism spectrum, college and post-college students all find programs here.

Being 50 can just mean being tired (I know, because I’m turning 50 this year, too, and some days…). But Trinity Repertory Company is a vibrant, muscular 50.

We continue to challenge our audiences with new work and re-envisioned classics, we continue to expand the minds of our students, making them better thinkers and citizens, we continue to change the face of the American Theater, as well as our local environment here at home in Rhode Island.

It has been great to stop and reflect here in the 50th season, and it’s been wonderful having you along for the ride.

Enjoy Sam Shepard’s contemporary classic A Lie of the Mind. I look forward to seeing you at the theater, and our 50 years. ­— Curt Columbus

The Write Stuff A Short Biography of Sam Shepard

by Molly Greene

S

ince his birth in 1943, Sam Shepard’s life has been as varied and remarkable as any of the characters in his plays. His childhood was spent following his alcoholic military father to Army bases in the Southwest, and as an adult he worked as a farmhand, theater actor, playwright, rock drummer, and finally, bona fide movie star. These diverse segments of his life are reflected in his work: rock and roll, the American West, substance abuse, fame, and family dysfunction are all signs that you may be watching a Sam Shepard play.

Shepard’s involvement in the theater began when he dropped out of college.

He spent a year at Mount Antonio Junior College studying agriculture, but when he was introduced to a group of beatniks in an English class, he became interested in the arts. In a 2003 interview with The Guardian, Shepard explained, “They lived in this big old house and one of them was a painter and they were smoking a lot of dope out there, and they had stuff lying around like Beckett plays, Jackson Pollock reproductions, which I’d never heard of. That was the

LOOKING BACK/ looking forward

Trinity Lie of the Mind _2014.indd 7

first encounter I had with Beckett, with jazz, abstract expressionism. And then I just left [college].”

Leaving California, Shepard joined the Bishop’s Company Repertory Players and toured with them from 1962–1963. When the company stopped in New York, he stayed on and found work as a waiter at the Village Gate jazz club. He was exposed to new artists and musicians, including Ralph Cook, who was the headwaiter at the Village Gate.

Together with Cook, Shepard and several waiters started Theatre Genesis, the Off-OffBroadway venue where many of Shepard’s early plays were staged. By 1970, he had won four Obie awards for playwriting and had married actress O-Lan Jones, with whom he had a son. He was also the drummer for the cult rock band The Holy Modal Rounders.

However, due to an intense, highprofile affair with Patti Smith (with whom he wrote the one-act Cowboy Mouth) and the heavy drug use associated with the New York art scene, Shepard left to relocate in London with his family. In 1972 he wrote The Tooth of Crime, a play about warring rock gods in a dystopian future America (produced by Trinity Rep in 1974 and by the Brown/Trinity

Rep MFA Programs this spring). Shepard returned to the States in 1974, where he toured with Bob Dylan’s “Rolling Thunder Revue,” helping Dylan write the surrealist film Renaldo and Clara as well as keeping a record of the tour, later published as a book.

Settling again in California, Shepard became playwright-in-residence at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco, where he wrote his dysfunctunal family trilogy: Buried Child, Curse of the Starving Class and True West. Buried Child won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1979 (Trinity Rep produced Buried Child in 1980 and toured with it in India and Syria in 1981). At this height of his fame as a playwright, Shepard also gained fame as a film actor, appearing in movies such as Days of Heaven, Resurrection and the biopic Frances, where he met his longtime partner Jessica Lange. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Right Stuff in 1983.

Shepard has continued his acting career in films such as Black Hawk Down, The Notebook and, most recently, August: Osage County. His career as a playwright also continues — just last year his play A Particle of Dread (Oedipus Variations) opened at Field Day Theatre Company in Ireland. As the title suggests, the play explores the dark and complicated relationships within a family and the damage that comes from them.

A similar story is told by A Lie of the Mind (written in 1985 and first produced at Trinity Rep in 1987), in which two families find the violence and the terror that in Shepard’s world comes hand-in-hand with love.

onstage AT TRINITY REP Tim Crowe’s 44 years as a resident acting company member provide him with insight into Trinity Rep, the value of theater and the power of lies.

A The Mind of Tim Crowe

s we approach the final months of our 50th season, Lauren Ustaszewski sat down with long-time resident acting company member Tim Crowe as he shared his thoughts on what Trinity Rep has meant to him (and to Rhode Island) and to talk about playing the role of Baylor in A Lie of the Mind by Sam Shepard.

Lauren Ustaszewski: When you look back, what do you feel is the biggest impact that Trinity Rep has had on the community in the last 50 years?

Tim Crowe: Well, there are two that hit me right off. The first is our contribution to the revival of downtown Providence. When we made the Lederer Theater our home in 1974, the surrounding neighborhood was desolate. Our presence inspired the development of a number of bars and restaurants and that’s had a lasting impact.

Secondly, there has been a burgeoning of smaller theaters, and some not so small now, some very impressive theaters that were germinated by our conservatory, now the Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Program. When you look at what’s being promoted by our civic fathers and mothers as selling points for Providence and Rhode Island, the arts are primary. Other cities have caught onto this now — the importance of the arts — but we were really one of the first to embrace them.

We were a real catalyst.

Lauren: What does Trinity Rep’s 50th anniversary mean to you?

Tim: The fact that we are still here is not a miracle — it’s the result of lot of hard work. There’s always the mountain in front of you that you’ve got to climb in terms of audience development and bringing people into the theater. But for me personally, it’s been a great gift to be able to work, to succeed and/or fail. I just completed the run of a show in New York recently and I hadn’t worked in New York in a long time. It made me realize how lucky I’ve been in terms of finding a home. My admiration for the New

Trinity Lie of the Mind _2014.indd 9

York actor has skyrocketed, because what they deal with is momentous. I have a great deal of gratitude for the gift of Trinity Rep and what it has meant to me personally, and to our community.

When you go to Asian countries, you see old temples everywhere. Our western theater came from the Greeks and they

Tim Crowe has been partnered with Anne Scurria innumerable times on Trinity Rep’s stages — in 1992 they portrayed the most iconic couple of all in dramatic literature, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (directed by Richard Jenkins, with set by Eugene Lee, costumes by William Lane and lights by Michael Gianitti). In A Lie of the Mind they are once again husband and wife but with slightly less blood on their hands.

started as religious festivals. It was truly a gathering place where sometimes controversial or touchy issues were explored in a safe place. To me the theater is a safe place to come, it’s a place where things are explored and examined in a hopefully entertaining and vibrant way. You come to the theater for an opportunity to witness and participate in something. Then you take it with you, accept it, think about it, reject it, or discover what it means to you. There is a desire within all of us to be together, and to have something spiritually, intellectually and emotionally in common.

Lauren: A Lie of the Mind was last produced in our 1986–1987 season. What do you know will be different about this production?

Tim: You know what? I wasn’t aware that it had been done here before! I think I might have been out of town at the time, because I know I didn’t see it. As a matter of fact, I haven’t ever seen a production of this play. However, when I was in New York, a lot of people had seen it when it was on Broadway back in 1985, and they all mentioned to me James Gammon who played Baylor, the role I’m playing, and evidently he was just fabulous.

Lauren: That’s great that you’ll be able to have a fresh perspective on this play.

That’s rare for a play like A Lie of the Mind that’s been produced so many times. What are your thoughts on this piece?

Tim: Well, look at the title. A Lie of the Mind. The title implies that within us there are many self-evasions. From what I see, it’s within the characters themselves.

They ’re evading, they ’re lying, and they’re tap-dancing around things within themselves. And when you put a group of those people together you get conflict. In that sense it’s scary, because if we want to take it seriously, it creates a great deal of self-examination. Denial takes many forms personally, culturally, and politically. There are facts in all of our lives, certainly mine as well; there are times where I’m evading things, where I’m lying to myself in order to comfort myself.

Lauren: What do you think this play says about the dynamic of a family in the midst of a catastrophic event?

Tim: If telling a lie prevents somebody from jumping off a bridge or committing murder or doing or saying something devastatingly harmful, use the lie… but know what you’re doing. We all want to survive and get along, and sometimes that takes a bit of knowing when not to say something. When I was younger I used to get into tremendous political arguments with people who disagreed with me. I remember seeing an interview with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, who were dear friends,

5/13/14 7:42 AM

onstage AT TRINITY REP but had vastly different political views, and the interviewer asked how you stay friends with someone you disagree with. That was during the Vietnam War and they said, “We don’t talk about it.” And I was younger and I said, “That’s so dishonest! You’ve got to comment, you’ve got to talk about it!” Now I think, no, it’s not dishonest. If you want a friendship and you want a family you have to accept certain things and therefore you might have to lie to yourself about certain things — just know you’re doing it.

Lauren: How do you think that the family in A Lie of the Mind copes?

Tim: In the very first scene that Baylor goes to visit Beth… it’s an interesting approach that he takes. He shows up, but he gives himself the out by saying, “I love you and I care for you, but I’ve got other things to do.” So there is a withholding of real love and real concern. Showing up is a rote thing for him because he knows it’s what’s expected of him and what he’s supposed to do. Once again he lies. Baylor has a scene with Meg where he’s talking about being a mountain man and then he asks Meg for his socks. Here’s a man that’s talking about all the things he could be doing and he’s asking for his socks because he can’t even move.

He’s a master of evasion who doesn’t accept that he’s a master of evasion.

Lauren: This play delves into the dark depths of family dysfunction… how do you keep going as a family? What do you think will happen? Is it open-ended?

Tim: It’s certainly open-ended. I don’t know what’s going to happen with this family once the play ends. The ‘A’ in the title is very important. A Lie of the Mind. But I think the family does continue; I think the play is saying that it’s a constant in human existence. The play reminds us that A Lie of the Mind is part of the human condition.

in memoriam

Remembering Robert Black Robert Black, who passed away on March 13th, was one of Trinity Rep’s resident young matinee idols from 1969 to 1983. He was a skilled actor, easy on the eyes and very handy with the guitar. It was only natural that when Trinity Rep did a very musical adaptation of Tom Jones in 1975, he played the rake himself (right). We will miss this charming and talented man.

Shouldn’t all Rhode Islanders have access to the arts?

The arts are more than just an important part of our state’s economy.

For young people, the arts are a path to success.

The arts contribute to achievement in school, particularly among disadvantaged students. For cities and towns, the arts promote civic engagement and encourage neighborhood and downtown revitalization. They make our communities more liveable.

With all that’s good about the arts , shouldn’ t all Rhode Islanders be able to enjoy and participate in what our state has to offer?

That’s where we come in.

Rhode Island’s investment in the arts is small (just 7/100 ths of 1% of our state’s budget).

With that, we managed to reach over 1.2 million Rhode Islanders and visitors last year, including over 189,000 young people.

Let’s ensure that all Rhode Islanders can benefit from the arts in the Ocean State.

About Trinity Rep Tony Award-winning Trinity Repertory Company — recently named the State Theater of Rhode Island — under the leadership of The Richard L. Bready Artistic Director Curt Columbus and Executive Director Michael Gennaro, is thrilled to be celebrating their 50th Anniversary season.

From its humble roots in 1963 in the Trinity United Methodist Church, Trinity Repertory Company has undergone an incredible transformation in 50 years, becoming one of the most respected regional theaters in the country Featuring the last permanent resident acting company in America, Trinity Rep presents a balance of world premiere, contemporary, and classic works for an estimated annual audience of approximately 145,000. In its 50-year history, the theater has produced 62 world premieres which have gone on to have productions at other theaters throughout the country.

Local, national and international recognition has consistently come to Trinity Rep. In 1968, it was the first American theater company invited to perform at the Edinburgh International Festival in Scotland and in 1981 it received the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theater Company.

Arts education at all levels is central to Trinity Rep’s mission. This season marks the 47th year of Project Discovery, Trinity Rep’s pioneering educational outreach program.

Last season, Trinity Rep’s educational programs reached over 16,000 Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut students through matinees as well as in-school residencies and workshops. The Young Actors Studio allows thousands of students participate in after-school enrichment activities at the theater as well as

in drama therapy programs designed for children on the autism spectrum. Brown University/Trinity Rep offers professional training for actors and directors in a three year MFA program which combines in-depth classroom curriculum with hands-on experience with a working professional theater.

Lifelong learning thrives in talkbacks after every performance, theater arts classes for adults and public forums.

In 1973, Trinity Repertory Company moved to its present home in the Lederer Theater Center at 201 Washington Street, downtown Providence. Formerly known as the Majestic Theatre, the historic building houses two performance spaces: the 500 -plus seat Chace Theater and the 300-seat Dowling Theater, as well as offices, production shops, and rehearsal halls.

The theater is wheelchair accessible and offers an Assistive Listening System for the hearing-impaired.

The Pell Chafee Performance Center, located at 87 Empire Street, is home to Brown/Trinity Rep’s MFA program and Trinity Rep’s educational activities for grades K–12, with classrooms and a flexible theater space.

As Rhode Island’s largest arts organization, Trinity Rep has a significant impact on the community, and is a linchpin of Providence’s arts and entertainment district.

The theater employs over 100 artistic and administrative staff and annually generates nearly $12 million in economic activity.

Curt Columbus became artistic director in January 2006, following Amanda Dehnert, Oskar Eustis, Richard Jenkins, Anne Bogart and Adrian Hall.

Season !

by Tyler Dobrowsky Trinity Rep’s 51st season figures to be a wild, hilarious, emotional journey, filled with fresh contemporary hit plays and cherished classics… but how does Trinity Rep choose which plays to produce?

It’s a simple question: how do we pick the plays for each season? The answer, though, is complicated and multi-faceted. First and foremost, it always starts with the text — we want to produce stories that entertain, challenge and stimulate our audience on a variety of levels. When considering a particular play, we’ll ask ourselves, “Why do we need to tell this story now, here, in Providence, Rhode Island?” We hope to not only provide a lively evening of theater, but also provoke thoughtful discussion about the way we live and who we are as a society. As we plan each season, we look to plays that are emotionally, socially and politically resonant.

Second, we want to make sure our season has a diversity of voices. This means plays from different time periods — classics that have stood the test of time, contemporary work by leading playwrights, as well as world premieres on the cutting edge of American theater. A diversity of voices also means playwrights with different backgrounds, cultures and perspectives. As the State Theater of Rhode Island, it’s our responsibility to represent and engage all people and populations in the plays we produce as well as in our casting.

And last but not least, with one of the last long-standing resident acting companies in the country, we are committed to plays that best suit the strengths of our tremendous company of actors. We are beyond lucky to cast our shows from this fantastic group of artists, all of whom are capable of playing either a lead or a member of an ensemble. By adding three actors to our company last year, we create even more opportunity, and lay the foundation for the next half-century of excellent work.

Curt Columbus, Trinity Rep’s Richard L. Bready Artistic Director, often describes season planning as like cooking a large dinner for your friends — the appetizer, the salad, the entrée, the dessert, the wine, etc., should all have a variety of flavors and textures, but you want the flavors to work in concert with each other in order to create a complete meal. That’s how we think about season planning. We want our plays to mix and match in interesting, provocative ways, creating a complete, satisfying experience for our audience. For this reason, we often highlight a particular theme present in each of the shows, to better unite the season and present our subscribers with a rich, year-round experience. By drawing out a theme for the season, we hope to present not just an offering of individual shows, but a more long-lasting journey, filled with moments of laughter, tears, magic, transcendence and profound grace — in other words, the best damn dinner we can offer.

For our 51st season, the theme uniting all the plays is the necessity and ineffability of true human connection. Some of the plays wear this theme lightly — Barefoot in the Park, A Flea in Her Ear, for example — while others, like Ivanov or The Glass Menagerie, are more explicit. In each of our plays, though, you will see characters exploring how necessary human connection is, while at the same time grappling with the complexity of truly understanding someone else, and the vulnerability that comes with allowing another person to truly understand you.

As we finish our truly wonderful 50th season, we hope you join us next year for what figures to be an incredibly thrilling 51st. From the “tragicomic” Ivanov by Anton Chekhov to the quirky, beautiful world premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s musical adaptation of Melancholy Play; from the poetic brilliance of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie to the wry and ultimately moving Middletown by Will Eno; with a double dose of laughs brought to you by two of the funniest playwrights of all time in Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park and Georges Feydeau’s A Flea in Her Ear. Come pull up a seat at the table and dig in — there’s sure to be something for everyone!

Trinity Lie of the Mind _2014.indd 34

Ivanov

by Anton Chekhov • translated by Curt Columbus directed by Brian McEleney World Premiere!

A fascinating early work by Anton Chekhov, often referred to as the “comic Russian Hamlet.” (The Guardian) In the talented hands of director Brian McEleney, the show promises to bring the same dramatic punch as this season’s stunning The Grapes of Wrath.

Just in time for the holiday chill, the theater unwraps Neil Simon’s delightful romantic confection, Barefoot in the Park.

A Flea in Her Ear

by Georges Feydeau

No theatrical journey would be complete without a large dose of laughter. Slamming doors. Mistaken identities.

Rendezvous gone awry. See for yourself why Feydeau is considered the master of French farce!

New Next Season!

Inside the

Writers’ Studio

by Kate Kataja Chekhov. Simon. Williams. Ruhl.

Trinity Rep’s 51st season celebrates great writers — playwrights so iconic that they are recognizable by surname alone! But how much do you really know about Anton, Neil, Tennessee, and Sarah?

Their lives, their inspirations, their bodies of work.

We’re pleased to introduce an exciting — and free — new discussion series for the 2014–2015 season that aims to deepen your relationship to the work onstage by taking a closer look at four great writers: Anton Chekhov (Ivanov), Neil Simon (Barefoot in the Park), Tennessee Williams (The Glass Menagerie), and Sarah Ruhl (Melancholy Play).

Hosted by Trinity Rep’s Richard L. Bready Artistic Director Curt Columbus and Associate Artistic Director Tyler Dobrowsky, this series will lift the “fourth wall,” providing an intimate, artistfocused, salon-style experience with special guests. Enjoy a glass of wine while you sit back and listen to readings of each playwright’s work performed by actors from the Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Programs, alongside discussion with our resident artists and scholars.

Anton Chekhov and Tennessee Williams were once fresh new voices who relied on the support of their contemporaries in the theater to produce their justwritten, untested work. This series is part of our initiative to enhance awareness about new play development at Trinity Rep, where commitment to supporting new work runs deep and which you have seen come to fruition on our stages for the past 50 years.

Dates and times for all four sessions of this “Inside the Writer’s Studio” series will be announced over the summer. For more information, contact Kate Kataja at kkataja@trinityrep.com or (401) 521-1100, x172.

We can’t wait to see you at the theater!

Student Playwrights Shine at Trinity Rep

by Camron Parker and Matthew Tibbs

RI, who compares his submission to a traditional morality play with an absurdist twist. The story follows the office workers of a failing fruit basket company as each struggles with personal dilemmas — all of this while suffering from the threat of having their fingers severed by bananas. Crafted with wit and intelligence, the play guides the audience through a bizarre premise in a way that leaves you cheering for the dreams of its characters.

An honorable mention was awarded to Genesis by Ivan Espinal from Classical High School, Providence, RI. An debt of gratitude is owed to Brown/ Trinity Rep MFA program actors Alex Curtis, Catherine Dupont, Benjamin Grills, Sylvia

After months of preparation and one whirlwind day of rehearsals, the third annual Write Here Write Now Student Playwriting Festival came to life on April 14. This festival gives high school students across New England a chance to see their short one-act plays performed on Trinity Rep’s Dowling stage in a celebration of the next generation of artistic voices. The selection committee was again impressed with the unique and vastly differing tones, themes and genre-bending concepts, as well as theatricality, that the 75 submissions displayed.

Welcome to Me, by Kelsey Wilson from Vernon, CT, started the night off with a wild romp through the mind of a young student with writer’s block.

This creative and insightful piece follows the adolescent struggle through the eyes of characters with personality traits and obstacles faced by many young people today.

Next up was After the Horror Movie, a profoundly dark look at a serial killer interrupted on his way to perform his nightly routine. Written L TO R: Quinn Bornstein, Mimi Heath, Kelsey Wilson and Spike

Heath as a monologue, this is a striking look at what a pop culture character Kates, Tangela Large, Nikki Massoud, and might be like when fleshed out. The play Matt E. Russell, as well as to Trinity Rep guest prompted many discussions about its social artists Tom Gleadow and Ben Thornton, who commentary later in the evening. brought these wonderfully well-written The Sacrifice is a heart-wrenching play, characters to life. which focuses on a budding relationship The evening concluded with a special between a grandfather and his young talkback with the playwrights, all of whom grandson, who are forced by circumstances voiced how meaningful it was to have their to meet for the first time. Quinn Bornstein writing taken seriously, and how much they from Barnet, Vermont submitted this piece, learned about writing and play development which is rich with beautiful and complex during the dramaturgical work that took characters, who both carry wounds from place prior to the festival. As one audience the loss of a loved one who died too member observed, “It was a wonderful young. As the play unfolds, we witness the night for young people exploring theater, human capacity for empathy as these two emerging artists bringing new characters to characters begin to heal themselves and life, and experienced theater professionals their relationship. working together to express our shared The evening ended with The Basket Case humanity.” Well done to everyone involved written by Spike Sommers from Warwick, and long live Write Here, Write Now!

LIFELONG LEARNING

Meet the Masters

The Young Actors Summer Institute (YASI) offers intensive classes for high school and college students

by Matthew Tibbs Calling all high school or college-age students! Trinity Rep brings its wealth of professional actors and leading theater instructors together for one week, August 11–14, for a new offering — YASI Masters.

With nine different classes there’s bound to be something for everyone. There are two ways to plan your week — pick classes individually ($100 each) or be a true “master” and subscribe to eight classes for just $400. Just take a look at the menu…

Shakespeare’s Clowns, Comics and Conmen

August 11, 9:30am-12:30pm Being able to access the language in Shakespeare’s plays is a must for any aspiring actor. In this class, we’ll dig into his more raucous and lascivious characters while continuing to deepen our relationship to this timeless writer. By examining scenes from such plays as The Taming of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Romeo and Juliet, the class will learn to translate his 16th century language into the dirty jokes of today. Taught by Fred Sullivan, Jr.

Fosse Choreography

August 11, 1:30pm-4:30pm Bob Fosse revolutionized the world of theater dance by combining lyrical, jazz, tap, ballet, and traditional vaudeville into his own particular blend, leaving an indelible mark on musical theater. Being able to take on Fosse choreography creates a more versatile dancer, who is also ready to push the boundaries of dance. Plus it’s fun! Teacher Melody Gamba studied under a lineage of Broadway choreographers tracing back to Fosse, and is ready to share this style with you. Students will learn original Fosse choreography, as well as how to interpret the text through

ten-minute play, which will also help the young writer craft richer language, images, and characters when the time comes to tell a more epic story. Taught by Dave Rabinow.

August 12, 9:30am-12:30pm Viewpoints is a philosophy translated into a technique for training performers, building ensemble and creating movement for the stage. In this class, we will work to cultivate a strong sense of individual and group impulse and compositional balance. Be prepared to work, play and be moved by the world around you. Taught by Shura Baryshnikov.

August 12, 1:30pm-4:30pm Take a comedy. Raise the stakes, up the ante of physical choices, add a hefty dose of the outlandish, turn up the speed, and you have a FARCE! In this class, we’ll play with all of the above: light, fast, and funny will be our watchwords. We’ll begin with a brief physical exploration of the world these plays live in,

Directing

August 13, 9:30am-12:30pm A good director is both the leader of the ensemble and the most generous collaborator. He or she must be able to craft a story clearly and dynamically, while also providing a space for other people to create. This class will explore the dynamics of telling a story in space: narrative, story-telling, text analysis, and visual composition. We will also focus on the responsibility to one’s team and ways to foster open communication and maximum creativity. Taught by Curt Columbus.

Dialects of the UK

August 13, 1:30pm-4:30pm There are hundreds of dialects across the UK. In England alone, people speak differently in South West, South East, West Midlands, East Midlands… throw in Scotland, Wales and Ireland and you see how complicated it is to “do an English accent.”

In this class, we will demystify the nature of the UK’s many dialects, offering practical tools to approximate the rhythm, melody, and mechanics of how people speak across

August 14, 9:30am-12:30pm Slaps, kicks, bashes, bites, pushes, pulls… sound like fun? Well it is when it’s safe, effective, and tells the right story.

We’ll cram as much as we can into this class while exploring the correct approach for working and imparting knowledge for all of your future encounters with illusions of violence on stage and screen. Taught by Craig Handel.

August 14, 1:30pm-4:30pm Crafting a short, and yet complete play is an art — the ten-minute play asks for immediacy and directness like no other form. Unlike a scene or snippet, a ten-minute play must stand on its own with full ideas, themes, and characterizations. In this class, we will learn skills needed to write a

Sondheim Solos

August 14, 1:30pm-4:30pm The music of Stephen Sondheim is an unparalleled experience for performers and audiences. Musically complicated and emotionally rich, Sondheim changed the musical theater with his ability to use music and lyrics to advance the story. In this class, singers will be invited to explore the rich and challenging landscape of the Sondheim solo. We’ll cover rhythm, musicality, and acting-the-song in ways that will not only help students sing today, but also in the future. Taught by Leigh Barrett.

in memoriam

Remembering Nuala Pell

A

ll of us at Trinity Repertory Company were saddened to learn of Mrs. Pell’s passing on April 13. Married to Claiborne Pell (the longest ser ving S e nato r in R h o d e Isl a n d history) for more than sixty years, she shared his commitment to public service and together, their combined passionate support for education and the arts was legendary.

When Senator Pell announced his candidacy for the United State Senate in 1960, he was overwhelmingly considered a long shot to win the election. When he won the election that November with nearly 70% of the vote, it was an astounding victory.

A good deal of the credit for his win was attributed to Mrs. Pell, who served as her husband’s strategic partner and offset his occasional awkwardness with her warmth and approachability. During the Senator’s six terms in office, Mrs. Pell became a prominent advocate in her own right for the arts and humanities, education, women’s health care, and senior issues.

On the occasion of the Senator’s retirement in 1997, Trinity Rep established its annual Pell Awards, which were created to honor individuals at the national and local levels who embodied Senator Pell’s ideals — as artists, educators, leaders and philanthropists. In 2009, six months after the Senator’s death, Mrs. Pell graciously opened the doors of Pelican Ledge (their Newport home), to host the 13th Pell Awards, where the Senator was presented posthumously with a Pell Award for Outstanding Leadership in the Arts. Since that year, she has continued to serve as honorary co-chair of the Pell Awards, recognizing the importance of continuing this event as a way of both honoring these deserving individuals and supporting Trinity Rep by carrying on her husband’s legacy.

In addition to her longtime patronage of Trinity Rep, Mrs. Pell served as a trustee for Salve Regina University (where she received a doctorate in humane letters in 2006 and which established the Nuala Pell Leadership Program in Public Service in 2013), the University of Rhode Island Foundation, and Roger Williams University.

She also served as a trustee for the John A. Hartford Foundation, The Redwood Library in Newport, Roger Williams Hospital, and Roger Williams Medical Center.

She was a member of the International

n behalf of Trinit y Repertory Company an d the l oca l ar t s co m mu n i t y, i t i s with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Nuala Pell. Her passionate advocacy for the arts and education were astounding to all. To say that she was a lovely and gracious woman is an understatement. Mrs. Pell was a true gem, a stalwart patron of the arts and a staunch supporter of Rhode Island. Mrs. Pell generously served as honorary cochair of the Pell Awards, held annually at Trinity Rep to honor the late Senator Claiborne Pell and recognize local and regional artistic excellence. Our sincere condolences go out to Clay Pell and his entire family at this sad time. ”

Rescue Committee, director of the Board of Samaritans in Providence, past president of Democratic Congressional Wives Forum, and a member of the Women’s National and Rhode Island Women’s Democratic Clubs.

In 1997, Brown University President Vartan Gregorian bestowed upon her the school’s highest honor — a President’s Medal for her lifelong commitment to education, scholarship, public service, the arts and philanthropy.

This June marks the 18th annual Pell Awards at Trinity Rep. In addition to a special tribute to Mrs. Pell as part of this year’s ceremony, we are thrilled to be honoring four award recipients who are all Rhode Islanders that went out into the world to become talented and acclaimed artists and later returned to their home state to give back to their community. We think that both Senator and Mrs. Pell would be pleased to know that their legacy has inspired so many and will continue to do so for many years to come.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2014 Pell Awards!

Join Us for Trinity Rep’s 30th Theater Tour to

London!

by Lauren Ustaszewski

A wonderful trip for theater and art lovers alike, Trinity Rep’s annual London tour is one of the best of its kind!

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the tour takes guests on an extraordinary journey to see bold interpretations of classics and cutting-edge productions at a variety of acclaimed venues, such as The Old Vic, the Royal Court and The National Theatre. During our 2013 visit alone, we saw two productions that have since transferred to the West End. Trinity Rep’s Richard L. Bready Artistic Director Curt Columbus (with husband Nate Watson, below left) is proud to host this tour.

“The great thing about the London tour,” he said, “is that you see shows, like Matilda, before they go to Broadway or become commercial productions, and this year will be no exception. We like to offer a unique experience to patrons, and we’re always on the lookout for things that are groundbreaking, challenging and new.” The Trinity Rep tour is also known for treating guests to exceptional cuisine and other cultural experiences, along with the opportunity to meet artists and critics. In addition to the great line-up of plays in London, we will be traveling to Stratford-upon-Avon again this year to see what the Royal Shakespeare Company has to offer there.

The tour will take place October 10–19, 2014. For more information and a brochure, please contact Lauren Ustaszewski at (401) 521-1100. Space is limited and we expect that the tour will sell quickly.

We look forward to traveling to London with you in October!

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT:

Southwest Airlines This spring, Southwest Airlines became the official airline of Trinity Rep. Thanks to Southwest Airlines, Trinit y Rep will be able to advance the work on our stages, learn best practices, and share our knowledge and talent with the American theater community. How? With the gift of travel. Southwest Airlines is enabling Trinity Rep’s staff and artists to attend and participate in national conferences that we never could have considered because of prohibitive travel costs, and helping offset some travel expenses that we would have incurred normally, for example, bringing in an out-of-town designer to work on a show.

Associate Director of Development Jen Canole chatted with Jill Simonson, Southwest Airlines’ Regional Leader for Community Affairs & Grassroots, about how this remarkable partnership came to be.

Jen: You represent Southwest all along the Northeast. How did you hear about Trinity Rep?

Jill: It is the coolest stor y!

Southwest is the Official Airline Partner of Impact Creativity, the fantastic arts-in-education program that is managed by the National Corporate Theatre Fund. At an NCTF event last year, the great Curt Columbus was a guest speaker and there I was able to learn more about the Trinity Rep organization, which happens to call Providence its home, a city I am lucky enough to serve for SWA! In addition, Trinity Rep is always referenced when local business leaders speak of leading organizations and programs in the Providence community.

Jen: What made you decide to support Trinity Rep? Jill: I admire Curt and Michael Gennaro as not only leaders in the arts community, but as individuals that care deeply about making Trinity Rep a destination for families, students, and so many others to enjoy everything the organization has to offer.

At Southwest, we also strive to provide our

customers with friendly customer service and a great experience along the way. Trinity Rep does too.

Jen: Southwest Airlines is well known for its warm, friendly flight attendants. That spirit clearly extends beyond the planes and into your work in communities around the country. What would you like people to know about Southwest Airlines’ culture?

Jill: Where do I start! We are so fortunate to be able to provide our customers with friendly, reliable and low-cost air travel, in addition to extending our time and resources to worthy organizations across the country. This is all a part of our culture at Southwest – and if we can make you laugh at 30,000 feet, even better!

Thanks so much, Jill. We’re proud to have Southwest Airlines on board with Trinity Rep! National Corporate Theatre Fund (NCTF) raises money from national and New York City-based funders to support 10 regional theaters around the country, including Trinity Rep. “Impact Creativity” is their campaign to sustain and grow arts education programming at member theaters.

Page to Stage Trinity Rep wrapped up another season of donor appreciation events with “Page to Stage” on the Hotel Providence’s rooftop patio at on May 3. Over 50 of the theater’s supporters mixed and mingled with staff and board members, along with A Lie of the Mind cast members, resident actor Tim Crowe and Brown/Trinity Rep MFA actors Britt Faulkner (’15) and Benjamin Grills (’14).

Following a brunch buffet, coffee, and mimosas, guests were treated to a conversation with Tim, Britt, Ben, and associate artistic director Tyler Dobrowsky. They discussed working with director Brian Mertes on Sam Shepard’s unflinching — and humorous — look at the American family, as well as giving everyone a more in-depth sense of what professional training for an actor entails — what tools go into fine tuning their craft and instrument. We also celebrated Tim’s recent time spent Off-Broadway!

Curious about how you can attend events like these? E-mail Donor Programs and Individual Giving Officer Kate Kataja at kkataja@trinityrep.com.
