A NOTE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, VINCENT M. LANCISI

W

elcome. Sometimes a play comes along that just grabs you in a way that sticks with you. Sweat did that to me. From the moment I first encountered a performance, I knew I had to produce it at Everyman.

The people of Sweat are the forgotten workers, the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, entire generations who had their livelihoods stripped away and were locked out of their American Dream. The victims of jobs heading overseas, the breaking of unions, and the loss of good paying jobs for skilled workers left many reeling and asking “what happened?” They didn’t even see it coming.

Playwright Lynn Nottage has given us real people that we care about who are friends, colleagues, neighbors, and people trying to stay afloat, to survive, to find a way to keep working. We root for them and feel somehow that what happened was almost criminal. There was an unwritten contract that existed rewarding skilled workers with enough compensation for their hard, often physical labor that was enough to purchase a house and raise a family. After 30 or so years, the payoff was the ability to retire when their bodies had broken down with a pension and a paid off mortgage. The work was hard but the loyalty and rewards were there as compensation. It was a way of life for an entire class of people.

I love a play that puts a tragic situation on stage in a way that makes me see it through a different lens. I understand the fall out and results of what happens when people can’t adapt to a changing marketplace. I’m not surprised how it might lead to a divided nation, a forgotten people, perhaps even an opioid epidemic. This isn’t a Democrat problem, or a Republican problem, it’s an American one that happened right under our noses.

“Lynn Nottage has given us real people that we care about...

We root for them and feel somehow that what happened was almost criminal.”

Although Sweat takes place up the road in Reading, Pennsylvania, it may as well be right here in Baltimore. Rarely are plays as timely, as insightful, as necessary as is Sweat. All of Baltimore and beyond should see this play. It explains a lot. Help spread the word.

Thank you for coming.

LYNN NOTTAGE AND THE ACTION OF CREATING

By Lindsey R. Barr

I

t is no coincidence that Everyman Theatre has produced four Lynn Nottage plays in the last four years. Her ability to write plays that speak directly to the worker’s experience, whether they’re a steel worker (like in Sweat) or forced into being a sex worker (like in Ruined, produced

by Everyman in 2015) is impressive.

Nottage captures the psyche of a working person and explores the circumstances of their lives. Indeed, her plays contain commonalities in theme, but they often do not share the same structure or techniques to create a “signature style” to which some writers subscribe. She further pushes the boundaries of style by writing plays in dramatically different time periods, settings, and circumstances.

From By the Way, Meet Vera Stark where we’re introduced to an African-American maid who makes it in Hollywood, to the life of a New York woman who aims to become an independent seamstress in Intimate Apparel, Nottage excels at bringing us into different worlds without restricting her style into any specific place or location.

She further pushes the boundaries of theatrical structure and technique by setting her plays in vastly different locations and EVERYMAN THEATRE | 4

employing varying theatrical devices with which to tell the story. In Ruined, we are taken to the Democratic Republic of Congo where we encounter Mama Nadi trying to protect the people around her from terrible circumstances. Much like Cynthia, who we meet in Sweat, Nottage’s characters highlight the working class and those who have been left behind or forgotten by their communities.

Sweat was co-commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Arena Stage, for a project that set out to produce 37 new plays in a ten-year period that are based on “moments of change in United States History.” After reading a New York Times article about the effects of the Great Recession on Reading, Pennsylvania Lynn was struck a the city’s rapid decline from a once industrial stronghold in the region. She decided to approach the play in the same way she approached Ruined: by immersing herself in the town and getting to know the people who were directly affected. Lynn traveled to Reading with her long-time collaborator, Kate Whoriskey, who would go on to direct the world premiere of Sweat at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. In an interview with the New York Times, Lynn

said of the process: “There is something lovely about the playwright and the director going through the same process, having the same reference...For me it was kind of eye opening. For so many directors, theatre is a visual medium and for so many playwrights it’s a literary medium. So she (Director Kate Whoriskey) would describe textures and colors whereas I would tend to describe the nature of the encounter.”

Nottage is no stranger to getting involved with the communities she writes about.

For her play, Ruined, Nottage traveled to Africa over the course of several years to conduct interviews, many of which directly inspired the piece. Similar to the work required on Ruined, Nottage spent many hours in Reading interviewing residents about their experiences which ultimately formed the basis of Sweat. She traveled to Reading over the course of two and a half years, visiting as much as she could to meet with residents, often to continue interviews they had already started. It wasn’t until she was two years into her research that she encountered a group of steel mill workers

who had been locked out for 93 weeks, which sparked the idea for Sweat.

What Nottage and Whoriskey discovered in Reading was striking: a “de-industrialization” was happening, and the disparity between the working class and the upper class was ever-growing. Where there once was evidence of a thriving community, hollow buildings stood. Empty outlet malls, boarded up factories, and train stations that no longer ran trains served as a reminder of the Reading that existed, and the Reading that was experienced and chronicled for Sweat.

Lynn is no stranger to accolades for her work.

She is the only woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice, which she won for both Ruined and Sweat. A MacArthur “Genius Grant” winner, she’s won received numerous other awards including two OBIE Awards, and her work has been recognized by the likes of the Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk Awards, and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Lynn currently resides in Brooklyn, NY where she teaches at both Columbia University and the Yale School of Drama.

THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF SWEAT

By Lindsey R. Barr

A

s The New Yorker proclaimed, Sweat is the “first theatrical landmark of the Trump Era.” But, why did Nottage choose Reading, PA as the setting for this play? How did its unique place geographically and socially create a “deindustrialization” forcing many out of work and into poverty?

This area includes several political “swing states” and it often plays a critical role in presidential elections. Working class people are key voters in this area and have an interest in candidates that appeal to their needs and concerns as the American manufacturing industry continues to shrink.

Reading Then & Now The Rust Belt

What is the Rust Belt and why does it matter?

The term refers to a portion of the country where industrialization was a critical economic driver, and after 1980 saw a decline or rapid deindustrialization of the once powerful sector.

The Rust Belt begins in Western New York, and traverses west through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, ending in northern Illinois, eastern Iowa, and southeastern Wisconsin.

2000 Population: 81,291 2010 Population: 88,082 Change: +8.35% Reading, PA is the 5th largest city in Pennsylvania, and located about 65 miles northeast of Philadelphia. It is located roughly halfway between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, and is strategically situated along a major transportation route between Eastern and Central Pennsylvania, and gets its name from the now defunct Reading Railroad. The city is largely bounded on the west by the Schuylkill River, on the east by Mount Penn, and on the south by Neversink Mountain.

Poverty Since the turn of the century, Reading has rapidly been climbing the ranks on the list of most poverty-stricken cities with a population of 65,000 or more.

In 2000, Reading ranked #32 on the list, rapidly ascending to the top 10 by 2007. In 2010 Reading was named the city with the highest poverty rate in the country, barely skimming by Flint, MI Cities with the highest poverty rates in 2010. From The New York Times and Bloomington, IN. In 2010, 41.3% of Reading’s population was below the poverty line ($18,850).

Drug Use There has been a marked increase in drug use as the population continues to grow in Reading. According to a federal report, the influx of citizens from urban areas, has introduced drug dealers where there is little or no competition. Over the past two decades, the level of organization with drug distribution in the area has increased.

Drug traffickers from nearby large cities (New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Baltimore) see the lack of federal resources and local law enforcement as fertile ground to grow their distribution operations.

Due to little competition, drug dealers are able to charge a premium for their product.

In New York City, a gram of powder cocaine sells for $38, while in Reading, dealers are able to charge up to $60 per gram.

Education One of Reading’s most entrenched problems is education: • 8% of residents have bachelor’s degrees (far below the national average of 28%) • 63% of residents have high school diplomas (the national average is 85%) Young men without a college education have been particularly hard hit. Men who lose their jobs may drop out of the workforce entirely, leaving women to support the children

Unemployment Employment rates in Reading, PA dropped by 10% between 2000 and 2010, and a substantial number of those losses were low-skill jobs.

According to Mayor McMahon in 2011, many major employers left the city between 2000 and 2010, and with them, they took thousands of jobs.

Some of the companies include: • Agere Technology (employed up to 3,000 people) • Dana Systems (consolidated operations to the Midwest) • Hershey (employed 250 people; moved their operations to Hershey, PA and Mexico) • Baldwin Hardware (merged with Stanley Tools) SWEAT | 7

WHAT IS THE BROMO DISTRICT? Imagine an arts district that connects the Stadiums and Downtown with a major corridor of Theatres, Galleries, and other public displays of art.

Heading north, up the main arteries of Eutaw and Howard Streets, encounter Theatres, a public marketplace, and incubators spawning pop up galleries and emerging artists to be discovered. Continue on to find arts organizations celebrating the history and heritage of Baltimore and cultural institutions leading visitors up to the northern reaches of the district at Read and Howard Streets.

In the next decade the Bromo Tower Arts and Entertainment District will become a premiere district for performances and arts exhibitions sought out by citizens of Baltimore and visitors alike.

The district will offer opportunities for artists of all disciplines to live, work, and create here. The district encourages the collaboration among its stakeholders and will attract new ones offering resources towards the creation and display of the arts.

A HISTORY OF EVERYMAN

E

veryman Theatre was founded by Vincent Lancisi in 1990. From the beginning, Everyman strove to provide top-notch theatre that is affordable and accessible to everyone. With a Resident Company of local, professional artists, Everyman has staged critically-acclaimed productions ranging from classics to contemporary works to world premieres over the past 27 years.

Everyman’s first production—The Runner Stumbles—was produced in the winter of 1990 at Saint John’s Church. For the next four years, Everyman could only afford to produce one production per year at various locations in Baltimore, including Vagabond’s Theatre, the Theatre Project and even a classroom at MICA.

subscriptions numbers grew and a string of popular and acclaimed productions, including Amadeus, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Lion in Winter, The Glass Menagerie, The Crucible, and the wildly successful Proof, proved that Everyman was a mainstay in the Baltimore theatre scene.

Through a generous donation from Bank of America and the Harold A. Dawson Trust, Everyman was given its new home on Fayette Street. Over the span of six years, Everyman completed a successful $18 million capital campaign co-chaired by Gina and Dan Hirschhorn.

In January 2013, Everyman celebrated the Grand Opening of its new permanent home on Fayette Street with the record-breaking production of the Pulitzer Prize winning drama, August: Osage County.

The 1994/95 Season marked a series for firsts for Everyman. It was the first year at Everyman celebrated its 25th anniversary 1727 North Charles Street, which would during the 2015/16 Season by producing be Everyman's home for 18 years. It also "The Great American Rep," a feat featuring marked the first multi-production line-up— American classics Death of a Salesman and A starting with Sam Shepard's Buried Child— Streetcar Named Desire performed with the and also offered subscriptions to patrons for same cast in rotating repertory. the first time.

Now in it’s 28th Season, Everyman invites Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, you to be a part of its next chapter.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT: SUSAN W. FLANIGAN

F

rom her very first visit, Susan Flanigan became an immediate subscriber, supporter, and lover of Everyman Theatre. She has many fond memories of the early days on Charles Street, including seeing actress Tana Hicken perform in several early productions. As Everyman began to grow, Susan started to become involved in the behind the scenes aspects of the organization. She was asked to join the Capital Campaign Advisory Committee in the mid-2000s. She officially joined the Board of Directors in 2012 and became President of the Board shortly after. During her tenure as President, Susan led the organization through a 3-year strategic plan and helped lay the groundwork for the Artistic Growth Fund.

One of the many reasons Susan chooses to support Everyman is because of its focus on the Resident Company. She has loved seeing Resident Company members grow into the incredible artists that they are today.

She is also strongly drawn to the deep relationships and family-like feeling of the Resident Company. Many of her favorite theatrical moments—including seeing Wil Love portray Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman and Bruce Nelson take on multiple roles in I Am My Own Wife—have involved memorable performances of Resident Company members. Most

recently, she was deeply moved and proud of the 2018/19 season opening production of Dancing at Lughnasa.

For Susan, the sense of immediately immersing yourself in someone else’s story is what draws her to theatre above all other art forms. She strongly believes in the healing power of theatre and the importance of the arts in education. She’s particularly drawn to supporting Everyman because of its commitment to bringing theatre to the next generation through programs such as its High School Matinee program.

At Vinny Lancisi’s suggestion Susan saw Sweat in New York and thought it a perfect match for Everyman’s vision and Resident Company. She was impressed with its timeliness and passion and is proud to be a sponsor of this production.

At the 2018 Winter Gala, honoring Susan, it was announced that the Everyman Theatre main lobby was to be named The Susan W. Flanigan Lobby. Gracious and passionate, Susan embodies the mission and core values of Everyman through her deep commitment to producing great theatre and her unique ability to make those around her feel welcome, valued, and important. For this reason, the main lobby now bears Susan’s name as a place that welcomes Everyman patrons into our home and into our family.
