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. We are standing on the unceded territory of the Paugussett, Quinnipiac, 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.

ROM T E ARTISTIC DIR CTOR Welcome to a historic season at Long Wharf Theatre. As we prepare to usher in a bold new chapter for the company, our commitment to sharing thrilling, imaginative, and boundary-breaking stories remains. This season, we are curating your experience over three “acts.” For Act 1, we have three stories by visionary artists in conversation with each other, all sharing the same stage where so many wonderful memories have been made over the years.

We begin with a new play in development called Dignity, Always Dignity. When I began my tenure as Artistic Director, I immediately phoned an artist who has always inspired me: Bryce Pinkham. I asked Bryce if there was a passion project he could bring to our audiences and a few months later we were in a rehearsal room seeing the earliest seeds of this timely new play. Inspired by the golden age musical, Bryce and his brilliant collaborators Zack Fine, Rona Siddiqui, and Kirya Traber, are creating a theatrical meditation on our climate crisis through music and humor (in equal measure).

We then move on to a musical about Jelly Roll Morton that changed the game. New Haven, where many of the jazz greats performed, is a fitting place to share this groundbreaking musical that honors the power and transcendence of jazz. With Dennis Whitehead Darling and Patricia McGregor on our project, the process of bringing Jelly’s Last Jam to life has been pure joy. We are proud to produce this concert reading in partnership with the Stetson Branch of the New Haven Free Public Library, and Branch Manager Diane X Brown, who has been a champion of this project from the beginning.

And finally, our last story is one that honors our native community with a beautiful new play by Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, directed by Madeline Sayet—both are members of the Mohegan Tribe here in Connecticut.

Flying Bird’s Diary tells the story of Flying Bird, aka, Fidelia Fielding/Jeets Bodernashor, who fought “to save her language and culture against all odds.”

The Claire Tow Stage, in the C. Newton Schenck III Theatre, holds our history. This space is where we began our journey. It’s where we learned new things about ourselves and felt part of a larger community, discovering new worlds with people who looked and sounded different than us.

I imagine many of you, like me, are holding mixed emotions as Long Wharf Theatre says farewell to its building of nearly 60 years. This a remarkable moment in the life of our theatre company, saying goodbye to a physical space and starting a new chapter of our story, together. I hope you will come on the journey with us to usher in the next 60 years.

FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR Welcome to Act 1 of our 2022-23 season, our 58th year of creating theatre by, with, and for the Greater New Haven community. This is a season of transition and change, all in service of becoming more accessible to artists, audiences, and lifelong learners. We are shifting from being anchored to a space with four walls to making the entire City of New Haven our home, building a lively exchange of culture, conversation, and joyful gatherings in a multitude of Elm City spaces. December marks the end of our time at 222 Sargent Drive and the New Year will bring Long Wharf Theatre into venues across New Haven. Our administrative offices are moving to the heart of the Arts District on Audubon Street, and we are energized by being in community with our creative colleagues and partners every day.

If you’re looking for ways to support us this season, I have three simple suggestions: See a show. You’re already here and we are grateful for it! We welcome you to share your experience with your friends and family, as well as to return and see other productions in our 2022-23 season. Events are continually updated at longwharf.org/programming.

DIGNITY, ALWAYS DIGNITY

A Concert Reading of an Iconic Musical // September 17 – 18, 2022 Jelly’s Last Jam Book by George C. Wolfe Music by Jelly Roll Morton Lyrics by Susan Birkenhead Musical Adaptation & Additional Music Composed

by Luther Henderson Directed by Dennis Whitehead Darling Creative Consultation by Patricia McGregor Choreographed by Chris Bell Music Direction by David Freeman Coleman At the birth of jazz in the early 20th century, one man led the band. The legendary Jelly Roll Morton revolutionized American music like no one before him. His life—the dizzying heights and inconceivable lows—becomes a thrilling theatrical ride in Jelly’s Last Jam.

A Play Reading // October 22 – 23, 2022 Flying Bird’s Diary

By Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel // Directed by Madeline Sayet The story of a true Connecticut hero, Flying Bird aka Fidelia Fielding/Jeets Bodernashor (1827-1908). We first encounter Flying Bird, as a young Mohegan girl, in the 1800s, in a world attempting to erase everything she believes in. As the years pass, Flying Bird faces seemingly impossible obstacles but never loses sight of her goal: to save her language and culture against all odds.

ACT 2 A Community Event // Fall 2022 Home(coming): A Community Parade Conceived and directed by Jenny Koons 222 Sargent Drive, New Haven Together we will say goodbye to our home of nearly 60 years and build a collective dream for the future with an inspiring community event. A series of festive communal rituals and micro-performances will close out our time at Sargent Drive and move us, as a community, into broader New Haven. With us, we take the best parts of our history: our stories, our relationships, and memories of our extraordinary body of work. This fall, we begin writing the next chapters of our story with our communities.

A Virtual Community Event // Fall 2022 New Haven Play Project

By Aaliyah Miller Directed by Halima Flynn This community-based project aims to share stories of Muslim Americans, showcase their experiences, and begin meaningful dialogue with Muslim and non-Muslim communities throughout Connecticut. This season’s offering, I AM: American/Muslim, will be a multimedia production based on interviews with Muslim Americans, centering around a “Muslim mosaic” and painting the truth in contrast to the frequent demonization of Muslims in the media.

ACT 3 Production // In-Person, New Haven Spring 2023 Live From the Edge

By UNIVERSES Directed by Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz-Sapp A production by Long Wharf Theatre’s Mellon Foundation Playwrights-inResidence, UNIVERSES, Live From the Edge will showcase the ensemble’s special brand of fusion theatre in a “best of” evening that tracks the evolution of their poetic language from childhood rhymes and community rituals, to poetry and theater, hip-hop and gospel.

Redefining what theatre is and who it speaks to, Live From the Edge is a unique performance event that turns the poem into a communal act. Steven and Mildred will have the opportunity to explore different neighborhoods in New Haven to find the right artistic container to present this work, demonstrating this new model’s ability to give power back to creators in determining how and where their works will be presented.
