W EL CO ME T O TH E C OL L EGE O F T H E A R T S Welcome to the fall performance season at Clayes Performing Arts Center. As you arrived, you may have noticed that the southwest corner of campus looked a bit different than when you last visited. I am thrilled to announce that the Visual Arts Modernization Project is well underway! The project will add two new buildings: a single-level structure comprised of the four existing galleries and a two-story building along State College Blvd, containing technology-driven classrooms, office space, a research library, and collaborative teaching and learning spaces. This newly reimagined visual arts complex will have a lasting impact on the college and the community, transforming how we teach, learn, engage with, and experience art.

Despite the disruptions to the college caused by this much-needed renovation, we are committed to delivering the same high-quality, pre-professional arts training our 2,800 students expect; this season’s offerings are no exception. Our thriving community of artists, technicians, and educators have combined their formidable skills to deliver a fall semester of programming shaped by the same diversity reflected on our campus. This September, the Begovich Visual Arts Lecture Series began introducing students and the public to a BIPOC slate of innovative and prominent arts professionals. On October 1, the School of Music’s Bill Cunliffe, Rodolfo Zuniga, and their jazz ensembles kick off October in Meng Concert Hall (along with a surprise guest!).

Meanwhile, Theatre productions focus on personal and timeless struggles: Jessica Swale’s “Blue Stockings” tells the empowering story of four young women fighting against sexism for their right to a university education in 18th century England, and in “She Kills Monsters,” identity and fantasy converge to create a modern coming-of-age story. CSUF dancers and choreographers close the season with Fall Dance Theatre’s “Momentum,” centered on the human impulse to seek, strive, and move forward to motivate change.

As we begin the 2022 fall semester anticipating the transformative changes ahead, we remain dedicated to enhancing the academic and creative potential of the current students within this living laboratory for the arts. Their success is uniquely measured in phrases of choreography, lines of dialogue, sheets of music, and slabs of clay as our students actively work towards impacting the arts of the future. You demonstrate your unwavering commitment to our students when you attend productions, concerts, and exhibitions in the College of the Arts. Embrace the limitless possibilities their future holds. Support the College of the Arts at any level by donating to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence today (arts.fullerton.edu/giving).

Thank you for joining us. I’m so proud of our students and what they have created for you tonight.

Enjoy the show! I know you will be equally impressed.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR MARK RAMONT MARK RAMONT is a professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance and head of the graduate and undergraduate directing programs. Since 2012, his directing students have taken top or runner up honors at the Region VIII Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival every year except for one, with a number of the Regional Finalists taking top honors at the National Festival. Prior to accepting his position at CSUF, Mark was the Director of Theatre Programming at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC. He taught at Rice University and Sam Houston State University, and served as the Associate Artistic Director of NYC’s Circle Repertory Company. He has directed Off-Broadway and at major regional theatres. He received his BA from CSU Fullerton and his MFA in Directing from the University of Texas at Austin.

Director’s Note Merrily We Roll Along is Stephen Sondheim’s most famous flop. It opened on Broadway on November 16, 1981 and closed 12 days later after 16 performances. It ended the long-time collaboration between Sondheim and his director/producer Hal Prince – and Sondheim himself thought he might never write another musical. Based on George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s play of the same name (which also had a relatively short run), Merrily the musical, like the play, tells the story in reverse: we begin at the end and end at the beginning. Some attribute its failure to this device; audiences found it confusing. Prince famously just prior to opening scrapped the costumes and replaced them with shirts with character names on them to alleviate the confusion. It didn’t help.

More likely, the problem is that we meet the characters at a point in their lives when they are at their lowest and meanest. Success has ruined them and destroyed their friendship.

Typically, we meet characters at their most sympathetic in the beginning of a dramatic story – we fall in love with them before they do terrible things to one another, allowing us to hold onto that love and develop empathy and understanding for our “heroes”. Merrily asks us to wait until the second act to begin to see them at their best, at their most hopeful – and that can ask a lot of an audience, who tend to judge characters quickly and harshly.

However, if we stick with Charley, Mary and Frank, we fall in love with them as we come to understand the complexity of the musical’s primary question: How did we get here? It’s a question that most of us ask ourselves in our later life as we find that our hopes and dreams for ourselves were never quite realized the way we thought they would.

Merrily has its dogged defenders who keep trying to make it work. Sondheim and his book writer, George Furth, did a major overhaul of the entire show in 1994 to try to fix it.

Respected theatre companies have also tried their hand at it – and continue to try. In fact, Merrily will open in New York City this December in a production with Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez.

Why do we keep trying to make it work? Because we love the score. Some believe it to be his finest work. But we want it to work because it mirrors the experiences of so many of us who went to NYC to try to make it in this business. “Opening Doors” is Sondheim’s

most autobiographical song and reflects the energy, hopes and disappointments he felt as he navigated the beginnings of a career in NYC. It mirrored my own excitement and frustrations as I arrived in NYC to start a career a year after Merrily closed. And “Our Time” articulates the hopes and longings so many of us felt when we arrived in New York with our sights set on Broadway. Sondheim’s score was the soundtrack to my early years in NYC. It inspired me, gave me hope and motivated me to keep at it. I hope it does the same for these young artists as they try to make their dreams come true in a very challenging world.
