Fall can be so unpredictable! It’s warm one day and cool the next...what can a fashionable lady wear? A clever solution is the layered look long sleeves under a sundress, footless tights under a short skirt, a belted cardigan over denim. Where can a clever lady go to find her look? Clare Jones!

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I am thrilled that Yale Rep audiences are among the first to see this astonishing new play by Octavio Solis, a playwright whose work has been regularly produced for nearly twenty years around the country, but who has had little exposure on the east coast. This production is only the start of what I hope will be a long relationship between Octavio and our theatre: in fact, Yale Rep recently commissioned him to write a new play. I am equally delighted to welcome director Juliette Carrillo and the fine company of artists assembled for this production. Amidst the great joy of bringing this new play to our stage there is also a deep sense of loss. Chris Webb, who composed much of the original music you will hear in Lydia, died of cancer just weeks before rehearsals were to begin here in New Haven. We are grateful for the remarkable contributions he made not only to the development of this play but to many other plays over the course of his career. Shortly before his death, Chris requested that his friend and longtime collaborator David Molina finish his work on Lydia. We thank David for his sensitivity and commitment to this project and the Webb family for allowing us to honor Chris’s work in this way. We also join countless others in the American theatre community in mourning the passing of Gerald Schoenfeld, who for more than 35 years served as Chairman of the Shubert Organization. With Bernard B. Jacobs, who shared the chairmanship with Mr. Schoenfeld for more than two decades, Gerry is credited for revitalizing Broadway during the late 1970s and early 1980s with a string of acclaimed, prize-winning productions including Equus, The Phantom of the Opera, and A Chorus Line. Yet, just as significantly, he played a major role in the growth and advancement of not-for-profit theatres across the country. Yale Rep is but one of many organizations that greatly benefited from the Shubert Foundation’s generosity and deep commitment to theatrical art. Thank you for joining us for this performance of Lydia. As always, I look forward to hearing your reactions here at the theatre or by email (james.bundy@yale.edu). Sincerely,

James Bundy Artistic Director

Inspire and be inspired Pay attention to what is beautiful My serious and amazing life Create a lasting musical impression —FROM CHRIS WEBB’S NOTEBOOKS, WRITTEN SHORTLY BEFORE HIS DEATH

When Chris called me on September 3, 2008, to tell me he had some really bad news, I braced myself. He can’t do Lydia, I thought. What am I going to do? But the news was worse than anything I could have ever imagined. He had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Although he was committed to staying on the project, he passed away before our first rehearsal at Yale Rep. Needless to say, we were all completely devastated. Chris was one of those rare composers that loved telling a good story. It was an honor to watch his process, how he molded and shaped and caressed a piece of music so that it fit just perfectly with the instruments of the actors, with the rhythms of my staging, and with the tone of the play. Chris’s music created a kind of dance between the physical world and the emotional and spiritual world. And he did it beautifully because he was an exquisite listener. True collaboration is in the listening, and Chris was a master at it. I had the privilege of collaborating 2

with Chris for over ten years. He was my artistic partner and a great friend. His body is gone, but his music lives on, pushing our work forward just as he would have wanted it. Thank you, Chris, for your extraordinary gift.

SETTING The early 1970s in winter in the living room of the Flores home in El Paso, Texas.

THERE WILL BE ONE FIFTEEN-MINUTE INTERMISSION.

Welcome to

BORDER PLAY Located in far western Texas, on the northern banks of the Rio Grande across from Juรกrez, Mexico, and in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert, El Paso is a border city both in psychology and geography. It has long been the locus of cultural collisions, mixing new arrivals from south of the border, the children of legal and illegal immigrants, other American citizens who have moved to the city following jobs, and the descendants of Spanish

settlers who have lived in the area for centuries. From the unforgiving but beautiful landscape, a bustling metropolis emerged after World War II with a strong economy built on manufacturing, the military, and trade with Mexico. Playwright Octavio Solis was born and raised in El Paso, and it is to his hometown that he has returned for the setting of several plays, including El Paso Blue (1994) and his new play Lydia, which received its world premiere in Denver in early 2008. In Lydia, Solis captures the volatile

THE FRANKLIN MOUNTAINS.

and rapidly changing El Paso of the 1970s: a city experiencing an influx of soldiers and immigrants through a permeable national border but also struggling, like all of America, with the Vietnam War, the draft, generational conflict, and the burgeoning civil rights movement.

CLOSE MY EYES AND YOU’RE THERE the million ghosts of you there walking all the directions of the world

While tensions rage on a national scale, the living room of the Flores home has for years been the scene of a tragedy unfolding in slow motion. It began with the car accident that crippled Ceci just days before her quinceañera, her fifteenth-birthday celebration. Her older brother Rene, who was behind the wheel, battles his family and the world, struggling to come to terms with the fallout of that night. Her father Claudio drinks too much and cannot connect to the family that her mother Rosa and younger brother Misha desperately try to hold together. There they remain, in a house on the border between America and Mexico, and between life and death, stuck in the everyday routines of survival—until Lydia arrives.

—MATT CORNISH, PRODUCTION DRAMATURG

stepping through the strife and impatience with freckled hand, freckled wrist freckled all the way to your moistness eyes the color of sea glass, and freckled there as well. the penumbra in the room’s silence is you the filament in the bulb is you the apple posing for its missing painter is you and even on my thighs I think I see your spectral face condensing in the waning hours of the night numb with seed, smiling. all the ghosts of you threshing the room for me less here than before less than air, than thought less than even you. — OCTAVIO SOLIS, JULY 1, 2007 9

LOTERÍA: LA VIDA CECILIA Lotería is a game of chance, similar to Bingo, played with a deck of 54 cards. Each card has its own image, name, and number, which the contestants match to the pictures on their tabla, or game board. The cantor, or singer, draws the cards randomly and announces them, sometimes by name but sometimes by calling out a riddle that matches a card’s image. For example, the cantor will call out “¡Ah, qué borracho tan necio, ya no lo puedo aguantar!” or “I cannot put up with the foolish drunk!” The winner is the first to match four pictures on her tabla in a row or in a box and shout “¡Lotería!” In Lydia, Ceci loves lotería and imagines her own cards using the characters in her family. These are some images from the lotería deck.

During this time, Yale Rep has also commissioned more than a dozen playwrights to write new work and provided low-cost theatre tickets and classroom visits to thousands of middle and high school students from Greater New Haven through WILL POWER!, an educational program initiated in 2004. Mr. Bundy’s directing credits include The Psychic Life of Savages, The Ladies of the Camellias, All’s Well That Ends Well, and A Woman of No Importance at Yale Rep, as well as productions at Great Lakes Theater Festival, The Acting Company, California Shakespeare Festival, Alabama Shakespeare Festival, and The Juilliard School Drama Division. A recipient of the Connecticut Critics Circle’s Tom Killen Award for extraordinary contributions to Connecticut professional theatre in 2007, Mr. Bundy currently serves on the board of directors of Theatre Communications Group, the national service organization for nonprofit theatre. Previously, he worked as Associate Producing Director of The Acting Company, Managing Director of Cornerstone Theater Company, and Artistic Director of Great Lakes Theater Festival. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Yale School of Drama.

Ms. Nolan has been an evaluator for the National Endowment for the Arts, for which she has chaired numerous grant panels, and has served on other panels and foundation review boards including the AT&T Foundation, The Heinz Family Foundation, Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Fund, and the Metropolitan Life Foundation. She has also served on the Executive Committee of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) and on numerous negotiating teams for national labor contracts. A Fellow at Yale’s Saybrook College, she is the 2000 recipient of the Betsy L. Mahaffey Arts Administration Fellowship Award from the State of Connecticut and the 2005 recipient of the Elm/Ivy Award, given jointly by Yale University and the City of New Haven for distinguished service to the community.

Ms. Kiger came to Yale Rep from South Coast Repertory (SCR), where she was Literary Manager from 2000 to 20

2005 and served as Co-Director of the Pacific Playwrights Festival. She was dramaturg on more than 40 new plays at SCR, including the world premieres of Rolin Jones’s The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow, Amy Freed’s The Beard of Avon, and the West Coast premieres of Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House and Nilo Cruz’s Anna in the Tropics. Prior to that, she served as production dramaturg at American Repertory Theatre, collaborating with Robert Brustein, Robert Woodruff, Liz Diamond, and Kate Whoriskey, and with multi-media director Bob McGrath on stage adaptations of Robert Coover’s Charlie in the House of Rue and Mac Wellman’s Hypatia. She has been a dramaturg for the Playwrights’ Center of Minneapolis and Boston Theatre Works and a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts and the California Arts Council.

In 2007 he was named the Henry McCormick Professor (Adjunct) of Technical Design and Production by Yale’s President, Richard C. Levin. He is co-editor of Technical Brief and Technical Design Solutions for Theatre, Vols. I & II. His book Structural Design for the Stage won the United States Institute of Theatre Technology’s Golden Pen Award. Demonstrating his commitment to excellence in technical education and professional production, he founded USITT’s National Theatre Technology Exhibit, an on-going biennial event; he has served as a commissioner and a director-at-large and is a lifetime Fellow of North America’s Theatre Technology Association. He was honored as Educator of the Year in 2006 by the New England Theatre Conference.

YALE REPERTORY THEATRE ANNUAL FUND GO BEYOND THE SHOW… Make a gift to Yale Repertory Theatre’s Annual Fund to support the national and international artists you see on our stage, to provide resources for early career and leading playwrights, to create original work at Yale, and to maintain our tradition of artistic excellence and leadership in the American theatre. Your generosity also sustains Yale Rep’s community programs, like WILL POWER!, which introduces nearly 2,000 middle and high school students annually to the power of live theatre; and The Dwight/Edgewood Project, a unique outreach program that, through playwriting, strengthens the self-esteem and creative expression of students from New Haven’s Augusta Lewis Troup and Wexler/Grant Community schools. Your tax-deductible gift to Yale Rep’s Annual Fund—at any level—plays a significant role in contributing to our ability as a nonprofit theatre to bring the best work to our stages and share it with the Greater New Haven community.
