LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge that indigenous peoples and nations have for generations stewarded the lands and waterways of what we now call the state of Connecticut. We honor and respect the enduring relationship that exists between these peoples and nations and this land. The offices of Long Wharf Theatre, the supporter and producer of this production, are located on the unceded territory of the Quinnipiac, Paugussett and Wappinger peoples. We remind ourselves that along with stolen land came stolen people. It is our responsibility to the future to know our past. 4 LONG WHARF THEATRE
With its themes of immigration, home, and family, Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge has asked audiences to confront the complexity of the American Dream since its New York premiere in 1955. Now in 2024, we find ourselves awed by the expansively universal and deeply personal resonance of this contemporary classic right here in New Haven. Jacob G. Padrón
Kit Ingui
Miller is much like a threaded needle for us at Long Wharf Theatre as we build on our remarkable past to produce world-class theatre in the present. Looking back on the birth of our legendary company in 1965 with The Crucible—our very first production—we reflect on the extraordinary legacy of Miller’s canon as it is stitched into the fabric of the American theatre. In our work as a staff, we often call on one of Miller’s quotes to renew our intentions: “I could not imagine a theatre worth my time that did not want to change the world.” Examining plays and their relationships to America and the world is not just an abstract endeavor at Long Wharf Theatre. Where we stage our productions is as integral to our artistic vision as where the playwright has set their story. Inspired by the power of our new producing model, we are creating exciting theatrical experiences of bold physical innovation all over the Greater New Haven region. From the intimacy of homes and gathering spaces for The Year of Magical Thinking to the majestic halls of the Canal Dock Boathouse for A View from the Bridge, we are living into our promise to be a theatre for everyone, everywhere. While the historic architecture of the Boathouse and its sweeping views of the New Haven Harbor emerge as characters unto themselves in our staging of A View from the Bridge, this story is a human tragedy. Can we transform the questions of the play into answers that will lead us to understanding our internalized versions of the American Dream? With Miller as our needle and Eddie as the thread, what might we stitch together to design a future founded on collective possibility? We don’t have the answers but, with you, we have the courage to keep asking the questions. We thank director James Dean Palmer for their bold vision and for leading a visionary group of artists for this boundary-breaking production. We’re also grateful for the support of our partners: Doug Denoff, Myah Shein, and the City of New Haven. We’re so happy you’re here. Warmly yours,

AB UT L NG W ARF THEATRE Birthed at the founding of America’s regional theatre movement, Long Wharf Theatre opened on July 4, 1965 with Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Jacob G. Padrón and Managing Director Kit Ingui, our company continues to build on a legacy of more than 400 productions that represent the best of classic plays, beloved musicals and world premieres, including works by Anna Deavere Smith, Paula Vogel, Tracey Scott Wilson, Lloyd Suh, Tina Landau, Whitney White, Ricardo Pérez González, and Dominique Morisseau. We are internationally recognized for a commitment to commissioning, developing, and producing new plays that expands storytelling in, and storytellers for, the American theatre. More than 30 Long Wharf Theatre productions have transferred to Broadway and Off-Broadway, and we produced three winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama: D.L. Coburn’s The Gin Game, Michael Cristofer’s The Shadow Box, and Margaret Edson’s Wit. In recognition of its artistic achievements, Long Wharf Theatre won a Regional Theatre Tony Award, among the first to receive this honor, and Connecticut Critics Circle nominations and awards in nearly every category. Today, Long Wharf Theatre is entering a bold new chapter, moving beyond its physical home of nearly 60 years to bring theatre to everyone. We are once again leading a national theatre movement that instigates a fresh, sustainable model for our industry while making professional live theatre more financially and physically accessible for our community. In 2023, Greater New Haven residents could experience Long Wharf Theatre productions in seven cities and towns, including seven New Haven neighborhoods, at free and affordable prices. 2024 continues this innovative journey, ranging from a production of Arthur Miller’s A View from The Bridge at Canal Dock Boathouse to a celebration of our 60th season. This is an invitation for all our neighbors to gather, bear witness to our shared humanity, and live connected, art-filled lives. Our efforts have garnered extensive feature stories in The New York Times, The Washington Post, American Theatre magazine, and “PBS NewsHour.” For leading with courage and creating a theatre of possibility, Artistic Director Jacob G. Padrón was named among Town & Country’s 2023 Creative Aristocracy, a national list of 70 “kings and queens of culture” who are keeping human ingenuity regally and outrageously alive, and 2023 Person of the Year by National Theatre Conference, joining the ranks of former recipients August Wilson, Lloyd Richards, and Joseph Papp.

AB UT T E VENUE Welcome to the Boathouse at Canal Dock! Located directly north of the historic Long Wharf Pier, the Boathouse at Canal Dock is a new community resource on the Harbor and a milestone achievement for coastal access and waterfront development in New Haven. Background: The original Canal Dock shipping pier existed at the site of the Boathouse from the early 19th century into the 1940s, serving as the terminus of the Farmington Canal Line. Funded primarily by state and federal funds, the Canal Dock Boathouse is being constructed as mitigation for the loss of the historic Adee Boathouse in 2007 due to construction of the I-95 Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge. While the highway has long separated the waterfront from the rest of New Haven, the Boathouse’s proximity to the recently completed Brewery Street segment of the Farmington Canal Greenway and the Vision Trail, will help to, once again, connect Downtown to the waterfront. About the Facility: The two-story Boathouse is a 30,000 square foot building constructed on a one-acre platform over the water. The lower floor is used to provide public access for waterside strolls and events, access for non-motorized boating activities (including rowing, kayaks, canoes, and sail boats), storage, and marine education, while the upper floor contains several meeting rooms as well as bathrooms and locker rooms. The Boathouse features interpretive and historical information about New Haven, including the Connecticut Freedom Trail. Salvaged architectural features of the Adee Boathouse have also been incorporated into the new building, including the entire entrance façade, elements from a meeting room including fireplace and trusses, as well as a terra-cotta roof ornament. Programming: The Canal Dock Boathouse is the home for the University of New Haven’s Environmental Sciences, Canal Dock Boathouse, Inc. and Discovering Amistad, Inc. and is available for private event rentals.
