Good Evening Playgoers, Welcome to our 79th year! As I write this, the blooms, the sun and the breeze are a welcome backdrop. All of us here in Door County are so looking forward to our summer season and, dare I say it, we deserve it! This past winter was certainly one for the history books and thank goodness it’s just that…history! I almost feel like Greg, our talented artistic director, had me in mind when he picked this season. I am always anxiously awaiting the list of plays and when I was made privy to them this year, I had a smile from ear to ear. I am a sucker for a good mystery and one of my favorite authors is Agatha Christie; I am always thrilled to see her name on the playbill! Back in 1999, long before I was part of the Players family one of the best shows I remember seeing at the Players was Always…Patsy Cline. I am so excited to be here and come full circle with this show. I have had a fascination with the Civil War since I was in high school and I know Butler will be a riveting show. We are honored and excited to have another world premiere at the Players from our good friend Sean Grennan. His show Making God Laugh was a highlight of the 2011 season and we are so excited to have The Tin Woman kick off our summer. One of our newest endeavors at the theatre this summer are pre-show discussions. One night during each play, folks can gather at 6:30 p.m. for a discussion that is germane to the current show. Beginning the series will be heart transplant recipients from The Second Chance for Life Foundation. We are so lucky to have them lead our first discussion. Please see page 59 for the list of dates and speakers. As usual, I want to thank all of you for being here tonight. I am so honored to be a part of this organization and all of us here at the Players want you to feel like you are part of the family. Our entire company works so hard so that you, the supporter and audience member, has the best experience possible. You are as likely to see our incredibly hard working managing director, Brian Kelsey, directing traffic as you are to see him in the board room...everyone here does what needs to be done to make the theater what it is supposed to be, a way to transport our patrons to a unique and beautiful Door County experience. Sit back, relax and let us take you away….

Greetings from our Peninsula Players Family! Welcome back, old friends! And a very warm welcome to those of you here for the first time! We’re thrilled you’ve come to enjoy the unique experience known as the Peninsula Players - this beautiful natural setting, our lovely modern theater and all the shows we’re so eager to share with you. Seventy-nine years of story-telling have passed here at the Players - 79 years during which we have been delighted to share our joy and passion with you through this communal celebration of life that is live theater. I must let you know that we have been honored for this work we love to do with the Governor’s Award for Arts, Culture and Heritage this year. We are very pleased to be recognized for enhancing the cultural and economic well-being of this community, as well as contributing to the wonderful state-wide and national reputation of Door County. We share this award with you, our patrons and supporters. Thank you. Yes, we’ve been doing this for a long time now, but it’s always an adventure! Seventy-nine years of shows of all kinds - comedies, dramas and musicals. From Greek tragedy to the silliest of farces. From A Man for All Seasons to The Girl in the Freudian Slip. From Oedipus to Nunsense. And pretty much everything in between! It’s been our joy to bring them to you, and a great pleasure to present another plate of confections for you to savor. Our opening show, The Tin Woman by Sean Grennan, author of audience favorite Making God Laugh, is a world premiere of a touching, funny play about a family you’ll recognize and - yes - a woman with a new heart. We next move to a murderous world where someone clearly doesn’t have a heart in Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None - a classy who-really-dunnit on the Players’ stage for the first time. Quick-change madness follows as two actors play all the roles, men and women, in Charles Ludlum’s The Mystery of Irma Vep, a combination of Wuthering Heights, The Mummy’s Curse and the Three Stooges (with a touch of werewolf thrown in). After this I’m very pleased to present the Midwest premiere of the sharp-witted Civil War drama Butler by Richard Strand, in which Major Butler and a smart runaway slave engage in a stand-off, that changed the course of American history. And, finally, we close our season with the sweet, funny and very musical Always...Patsy Cline, a story about friendship, a country legend and lots of all-time great songs. I hope you enjoy the combination of these shows - they’ll take you to lots of different places! We’re very happy to share them with you! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

In Memory of Richard “Rik” Warch, Peninsula Players Board member 2009 – 2013

Peninsula Players company members were saddened by the loss of board member Rik Warch when he passed away Sept. 14, 2013 at his home in Ellison Bay. He was a dedicated company member and supporter of the Players. “I personally recruited Rik to join our board,” said Julia Chomeau, Players Board President. “His vast intelligence and experience was invaluable to the Players board. He was the constant voice of reason. He wasn’t the most vocal during meetings, he would observe and listen but when he did say something, it was always right on the money. He was someone I looked up to and tried to learn from and he will be very, very missed.” Rik was the former president of Lawrence University, active at the UUFellowship and was both a student and instructor in seminars at Bjorklunden. He earned a bachelor’s degree in history at William College in 1961, a bachelor of divinity degree from Yale University in 1964 and a Ph.D. in American studies in 1968 and was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian Church. He married Margot Moses in 1962. Rik is survived by his wife, Margot; two sons and their families, who live in St. Paul, Minn.: Stephen, his wife, Alexandra Klass, and their daughters, Helen and Zoe; and David, his wife, Sarah, and their daughters, Sydney and Georgie; and his daughter, Karin, a Ph.D. candidate who studies and teaches in London, England. He is also survived by his sister, Linda Fenton, his aunt, Betty Hansen, brothers-in-law, Peter Fenton and Bob Moses, sisters-in-law, Lois Moses, Marilyn Moses and Marysue Moses and their families.

About the Playwright Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller Christie Mallowan (1890-1976) Agatha Christie was born September 15, 1890 in Torquay, on the south coast of England to an American stockbroker, Frederick Alvah Miller, and a British mother, Clarissa Margaret. She was educated at home and in Paris. As a child she enjoyed reading detective stories and improvising mysteries with her sister Madge. It was Madge who first challenged Agatha to write a detective story. Agatha married Archibald Christie, a young army officer, in 1914. Separated from her husband for most of World War I, Christie volunteered as a nurse. She developed her knowledge of poisons while working with pharmaceuticals at local hospitals. Her fascination with poisons proved to be a valuable tool in her writing, and she incorporated it into several of her plots. Her marriage ended in divorce in April, 1928. In 1930, Christie took the Orient Express to see the excavations in Ur, Turkey. While traveling in the Middle East, Christie met the noted English archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan. They were married that year, and Christie accompanied her husband on his annual trips to Iraq and Syria. She used the expeditions as material for “Murder in Mesopotamia” (1930), “Death on the Nile” (1937), and “Appointment with Death” (1938). “And Then There Were None” was first released May, 1939 and serialized in the United States in the Saturday Evening Post. ‘The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.’ New York Times. Eventually the U.S. title of “Ten Little Indians” was changed to “And Then There Were None.” With each adaptation the island’s name as well as the children’s poem used within the story were changed with language that was deemed acceptable for the time. In Spain and Greece the original title remains in use.

Christie wrote 16 plays, and many of her novels have provided the jumping-off point for countless other stage and film adaptations. The first theatrical version of a Christie mystery opened in London in May, 1928. It was an adaptation of her 1926 detective novel “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” and marked the stage debut of her Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot, played by the young Charles Laughton. Christie disliked the play and Laughton’s impersonation of her hero and decided to write her own Poirot stage thriller. The result was Black Coffee, which premiered in 1930. This was not only her first play but also the only one to feature Poirot. Her next theatrical effort was Ten Little Indians, wherein she reworked the climax of her 1939 novel to create one of the most ingenious stage mysteries ever – a sensational hit in London and New York in the 1943-44 season. Many film versions followed. During the 1950s, Christie’s career as a playwright reached its peak with the production of The Mousetrap, which has been produced continuously in London since 1952, and Witness for the Prosecution (1953; filmed 1957), for which she received the 1954-55 New York Drama Critics Circle Award. Other plays include The Hollow (1951), Spider’s Web (1954), The Unexpected Guest (1958) and Go Back for Murder (1960). Christie’s plays and stories have been made into a number of television series and films, most centering on her beloved characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. In 1971, she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Christie died at her home at Wallinford, Berkshire, in 1976. More than one billion copies of her stories have been sold since 1920. Only the Bible has been translated into more languages. Her ingenious plots continue to astound audiences.

In memory of Ralph Waite June 22, 1928 – February 13, 2014 Peninsula Player company member

Ralph Waite is instantly recognizable to many for his role as John Walton, the beloved father on the long-running series “The Waltons,” which began on television in 1971. Before that he was a member of the Peninsula Players acting company in 1963, performing in Zoo Story with Clint Kimbrough (see photo). He also directed 16 episodes during “The Waltons” nine year run on television. Born in White Plains, New York, as the oldest of five, Waite served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1946 until 1948 and then graduated from Bucknell University, Pennsylvania. Waite became an ordained Presbyterian minister and religious editor at Harper & Row after earning a Master’s degree from Yale University. He dabbled in politics, running for Congress in California as a Democrat on three occasions (once in 1990 and twice in 1998); but failed to win each attempt. Having shuttled around looking for his calling, Waite finally found his niche in the Peninsula Players summer theater season of 1963. As an actor, Waite was diverse, ranging from Shakespeare to Broadway to soap operas like “Days of Our Lives,” where he played a minister. Waite had a long list of other television credits including Murder One, a recurring role on HBO’s Carnivale and an Emmy nomination for his role in the acclaimed TV mini-series “Roots,” for his role as Slater, the first mate of a slave ship. He played the title role in The Secret Life of John Chapman. He returned to Broadway in 1981 with The Father. More recent theater roles included Death of a Salesman and The Gin Game. Waite was a recurring character on both “Bones” and “NCIS,” playing father figures to main characters.

Peninsula Players A Theatre in a Garden Take a rustic, woodsy site outfitted with a few little cabins that once served a boys camp along the bay. Add a dream, a barn-like proscenium stagehouse and a hundred or so seats open to the stars above and you have the early days of Peninsula Players. Richard and Caroline Fisher, a young novice brother-and-sister team, started the troupe in 1935 when they produced Noel Coward’s Hay Fever at a site behind the former Bonnie Brook Cottage/Motel in Fish Creek, now the Fish Creek Town Park. By 1937 they realized the ensemble had outgrown the motel site so they purchased the 22acre Wildwood Boys Camp, the present site of the theater. Now, in its 79th season, it is no longer just a dream: we are Rain, 1947 with Caroline Fisher America’s oldest and John Behney professional resident summer theater. In the 79 years Peninsula Players has performed at the Theatre in a Garden, more than 1,000 actors have crossed our boards. Some had their first professional experiences at the Players. Many continued their careers in the arts, either on– or off-stage, and some have even gone onto stardom. Although Peninsula Players began under the stars, a canvas top was draped above the audience in 1944, and in 1957 Caroline’s dream of a permanent roof came true when the open-sided pavilion was built.

Peninsula Players, circa 1937

In 1960, after 25 years of involvement, the Fishers sold the theater at public auction to Kenneth Carroad, a New York City attorney. Jim McKenzie was hired to oversee the Players operations as producer. He and his wife, actress Jeanne Bolan, both associated with the Players since 1947, took on the Fisher legacy. The non-profit organization, Peninsula Players Theatre Foundation, Inc., was formed in 1962, to operate the theater, and in 1978 Carroad sold out. McKenzie became owner of the property in 1978 and continued as the company’s producer. Anticipating significant renovation and repair to the theater pavilion and surrounding support buildings as well as the need for new production and housing facilities, McKenzie decided to sell the Bell, Book and Candle, 1957 with Harvey Korman place to the 30

History continued from page 30

The passion that Richard and Caroline shared to stretch imaginations, provide reason for laughter and tears and furnish cutting edge theater experiences is still the hallmark at Peninsula Players. Safeguarding that dream and this lovely Theatre in a Garden is paramount to the Players Board of Directors which is committed to –

Peninsula Players Theatre Foundation, Inc. in 1993. As a member of the Players Board of Directors, McKenzie continued to help preserve and improve the theater’s facilities and environment until his death in 2002. More than a decade ago many improvements were made including actor housing and public restroom facilities, expanded and upgraded rehearsal and storage areas and a computerized box office. The close of the 2005 season brought the beginning of the Players largest improvement – a new stage house and audience pavilion. Through the generous support of many donors, benefactors and volunteers, all intent on continuing the magic of live theater for future generations, the Players built a new facility in the same foot-print of the first theater. Included are up-todate wiring, more space for actors and scenery and a redesigned space to provide b e t t e r sightlines for the audience, not to mention new comfy seats.

• Preserve America’s oldest professional resident summer theatre; • Support the most exciting theatre company possible; • Provide freedom, tools, and facilities so artists may entertain, uplift and inform audiences; and • Foster future generations of theater professionals through internships. We hope you enjoy your visit as you explore the theater where the sun sets, the curtain rises and the stars shine.

Peninsula Players Internship Program Theater is one of the few professions where apprentices can learn from those who practice their art. The internship program at Peninsula Players Theatre is part of a tradition, which runs as deep as the roots of the theater itself. Since the Players launched its first season in 1935, interns, then called apprentices, have been given the opportunity to work side-by-side with professionals, learning the craft by observing and participating in it. “Working in theater necessitates being well-rounded,” said Business Manager Audra Baakari Boyle. “Having experience in a professional setting helps one to communicate with one’s co-workers. Our internship program is a wonderful opportunity to find out if theater is a career you would like to pursue. The interns at Peninsula Players work with professional actors, managers and technicians for 15 weeks in all aspects of theater, making us unique among internship programs.” The program’s diversity and atmosphere attract interns yearly from across the country. Mixing work and responsibilities, interns are offered opportunities to enhance their résumés, try different areas in theater production and make contacts with working actors, designers and managers. Interns participating in our 2014 season came from a variety of academic programs and places in Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Louisiana, South Carolina, Iowa and Wisconsin. For information about our internship program contact Audra Baakari Boyle or visit our website, www.peninsulaplayers.com for an application for the 2015 season.

The Tin Woman

A world première from the creator of Making God Laugh by Sean Grennan. A funny, heartwarming comedy in which a young woman’s life is given an unexpected jump-start through the gift of a donated heart. Her yearning to meet the still-grieving family who made the donation results in an ending that is surprising for all. Agatha Christie And Then There Were None A classic whodunit from the Queen of Crime. Marooned at a lonely resort, each guest has a dark secret to hide and all fear dark shadows from their wicked past. Isolated and trapped, one by one they start to die. “One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.” Time Magazine

July 30 – Aug. 17 The Mystery of Irma Vep - A Penny Dreadful

A frighteningly funny farce by Charles Ludlam. This uproarious comedy takes audiences on a hilarious journey from an austere English manor to the exotic pyramids of Egypt. A mixture of Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, and The Mummy’s Curse. Time Magazine and The New York Times both named The Mystery of Irma Vep one of the Best Plays of the Year. Drama Desk and Obie Awardwinning comedy.

Aug. 20 – Aug. 31 Butler

The Midwest Première of a sharp-witted Civil War drama by Richard Strand. Major Benjamin Butler’s first day at a Union hold-out fort in Virginia is greeted by a request for sanctuary from the very smart and very stubborn Shepard Mallory, a runaway slave. A popular hit featured in the 2013 Players winter play reading series, The Play’s the Thing.

Sept. 3 – Oct. 19
