Digital Playbill of The Importance of Being Earnest

FLORIDA REP

Greg Longenhagen, Artistic Director

• John Martin, Executive Director

WELCOME TO OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY SEASON!

It’s hard to believe a quarter century has passed since our first production, because it feels like it was just yesterday when I first stepped onto the Historic Arcade stage in the fall of 1998. I must admit, both Florida Rep and I have gathered a wealth of experiences since that inaugural season. Hundreds of productions, thousands of actors and designers, technicians, interns, and countless students and patrons have walked through our doors to be moved by the work on our stages.

Thanks to the City of Fort Myers, the Community Redevelopment Agency, and the vision of our founders, Florida Rep has impacted a generation of young people and a generation of theatre goers and helped to make downtown Fort Myers a destination for entertainment and the arts.

Throughout the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working at Florida Rep as an actor, fight choreographer, dialect coach and stage director, and even seen through my children’s eyes the impact our Education Programs make for so many young people. And now, in my fifth season as your Producing Artistic Director, it is an honor to look back on the journey, the countless creative professionals who make working at Florida Rep their passion, and the varied stories we’ve brought to life on our stages.

Storytelling is at the heart of live theatre. Telling stories well is what professional producing theatres do best and throughout our 25-year history, Florida Rep has developed a reputation as one of the top repertory theatres in the business –that’s according to local and national reviews, but more importantly, it’s also the opinion of our loyal audience members.

This season we are telling stories about family, connection, and love. Many of the plays chronicle relationships between wildly different people finding common ground, some provide an escape; others ask us to consider the world from someone else’s perspective, and our spring musical promises to have you dancing in the aisles – again!

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Our Jubilee Season line-up will take you on a journey through time and place from Victorian England, to a 1950’s gritty Philadelphia bar, to a Catholic suburban home in the 1970’s, to a serene New England lake house in the 1980’s, plus the contemporary settings of a senior living complex, a Manhattan high rise lobby, and more.

As you immerse yourself in these terrific comedies, thought-provoking dramas, and poignant musical offerings, you will be led by some of our signature Ensemble members alongside frequent guest artists and some fresh new faces and creative works soon to become part of the Florida Rep legacy. Our visiting professionals and local creative team are dedicated to bringing you the finest in live professional theatre – a tradition we established, and continue to maintain, since we opened our doors.

Downtown Fort Myers was a different place in the late 1990s. It was not the vibrant community center we know now – teaming with busy restaurants, shops, art centers, hotels, and more. At that time, the River District was ripe for rejuvenation and Florida Repertory Theatre was one of the early pioneers. When Florida Rep took residence in the deserted Historic Arcade we became a key player in the downtown renaissance. Thanks to the dedication of our company members and ever-growing loyal patrons and supporters, we now look back with pride, and look forward to all that the future has to offer.

The play you are about to watch is a unique production designed, crafted, directed, and cast specifically for you. You won’t see this version of this play anywhere else, and our team takes great pride in the work they do to delight, entertain, and enrich your life. On behalf of all of us at Florida Rep, we wish to thank you for your patronage, your support, and for joining us at the theatre. We look forward to sharing the next twenty-five years with you.

Welcome to our 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee Season!

On behalf of all of us at Florida Rep, I am honored to welcome you to our 25th season.

I remember so clearly our inaugural 1998-1999 season. Our first production Noises Off had those first audiences laughing in the aisles, setting the bar for what was to follow. It was so successful that we revived it in our 13th year starring Jason Parrish, early in his career here, alongside Vicki Boyle, in her Florida Rep debut.

As a longtime Board Member, I’ve seen nearly every production so it’s hard to pick my fondest memory, but a highlight was watching my husband making his “professional” debut with a walk-on role in Inherit the Wind. As you sit back, I encourage you to reflect on your history with Florida Rep. I hope you feel as grateful as I do that Florida Rep is here working to keep professional theatre alive in Downtown Fort Myers. If this is your first visit, I hope you are inspired to return.

Our education department is also critical to our success and plays an important part in the cultural health of our community. We are proud to offer classes for all ages and have brought theatre to thousands of Lee County students. Our Conservatory Program for advanced-level students celebrated a milestone last fall when a group of local young artists took the stage alongside professional actors in West Side Story.

It is also vital that Florida Rep give back to the industry by nurturing new works. Our Playlab festival invites playwrights to submit their new offerings and since its inception in 2014, has produced 32 play readings including two commissioned works for young audiences. It is also responsible for six world premieres or regional premiere productions.

We want to thank you for all the ways you support us—from major donations to ticket purchases. It’s only through your financial support that we are able to present the Broadway-quality productions you deserve. Ticket sales alone cannot sustain us. If you able, we hope you will consider donating today.

In closing, and most importantly, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the show!

Janice Danzig, Chairperson Board of Directors

Dear Florida Repertory Theatre Patrons,

Happy Silver Anniversary! I am delighted to welcome you as Florida Rep celebrates 25 years of presenting award-winning regional theater at the historic Arcade Theatre and Art Stage Studio Theatre.

The stage lights shone brightly last season with the return to live theatre! What a thrill once again to come together to experience theatre, that cultural phenomenon that connects our community through the human experience— our history, our heritage and the way we relate to one another.

Undoubtedly one of Southwest Florida’s most important cultural and educational institutions, Florida Repertory Theatre unites our community by serving over 45,000 young people and their families each year through a variety of exceptional arts education and outreach programs. Florida Rep provides jobs, purchases goods and services from within the community, welcomes nearly 100,000 patrons annually to the Historic River District, showcasing them as a cornerstone of the Fort Myers economy.

This is certainly an Anniversary worth celebrating and I am delighted to share this with you. Congratulations again to Florida Rep! And many wishes for a bright and successful future.

Yours in public service,

Kevin B. Anderson Mayor

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

OSCAR FINGAL O’FLAHERTIE WILLS WILDE

(1854 – 1900)

was an Irish poet and playwright. His parents were intellectuals ensuring Wilde had a top-notch education first at Trinity College Dublin, and then at Oxford. Upon graduation, Wilde moved to London. He married Constance Lloyd in 1884, and the pair had two children together. After writing in different forms through the 1880s, Wilde became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He published two collections of children’s stories and his first and only novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. His first play Lady Windermere’s Fan opened in 1892, and he went on to write A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest, which opened on February 14, 1895, in the St. James Theatre in London. That same year Wilde’s personal life became a source of controversy triggering him to file criminal libel charges against the Marquis of Queensberry when he made public accusations about Wilde’s relationship with the Marquis’s son, Lord Alfred ‘Bosie’ Douglas. Ultimately, Wilde dropped his case after evidence led to Wilde’s own arrest and imprisonment for “gross indecency.” Upon his release from jail two years later, Wilde moved to France and wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol, a response to the agony he experienced in prison. Wilde died in 1900 from meningitis set on by a serious ear infection. (photo credit:

The World Around Wilde’s Characters

The 63-year period between 1837 and 1901 marked the reign of Queen Victoria and came to be known as the Victorian Era. England during this time, along with much of the world, went through some dynamic changes spurred by the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of the Industrial Revolution, and the rapid growth in Imperialism. By the end of Victoria’s reign, Great Britain controlled approximately one-fifth of the globe and an equal or greater portion of its population. This period of globalization led by Great Britain was known as the Pax Britannica (cf Wikipedia), or British Peace. Britain was the economic, social, and cultural leader of the world backed by a strong military. London became both the world’s largest city, the epicenter of the British Empire, and the iconic pillar of “the well-ordered society.”

This is the world from which Wilde’s characters were hatched. Aristocrats, such as Lady Bracknell, would have witnessed a massive migration from the country to the cities. London’s population in 1800 hovered around one million; by 1900 it had grown to 6.7 million. Though meteoric growth may have been spurred by technological advances and the opportunities they brought, challenges arose in the form of overcrowding, the spread of slums and disease, child labor, issues around inherited vs. earned wealth, and greater, forced proximity between the social classes. There were also questions about the role of the aristocracy vs. meritocracy.

Abrupt change usually brings abrupt reaction. Brits could look across the channel and see how absolutism and food shortages brought the guillotine front and center and ended a monarchy. Though Great Britain pushed at and absorbed the world’s boundaries, the growing pains at home were difficult to handle. Lineage, money, land, education, and etiquette had been the hallmarks of the aristocratic life. To keep its sense of privilege, the boundaries of each element were further crystallized and codified. What resulted were extreme and inflexible norms of social behavior that helped keep class distinctions distinct. Arguably, Britain’s role as both the policeman and cultural icon of the world led to a code of conduct that, at least on the surface, appeared worthy and emblematic of its leadership role. But it must have been exhausting to sustain!

Florida Rep 2020 Producton of A GENTLEMEN’S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER featuring Gail Bennett, David Darrow & Alex May

A TIMELINE OF ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE

Fall 2001

Fall 1998

Florida Rep is founded by Robert Cacioppo & Carrie Lund. After 10 successful seasons producing professional theatre, Cacioppo & Lund bring their troupe from Sanibel to Downtown Fort Myers. With the help of Don Paight and the Fort Myers Redevelopment Agency, the Historic Arcade Theatre becomes a hub for the arts in the struggling Downtown River District.

The inaugural season opens with Noises O by Michael Frayn.

*Fun fact: Then a traveling actor, Greg Longenhagen, was meant to star in the production, but a cartilage tear knee injury during dress rehearsal sidelined the 30-year-old actor just before opening. Longenhagen now serves as Producing Artistic Director.

Spring 2000

After a full season producing a wide variety of comedies, dramas, and musicals, Florida Rep makes a statement in the spring of 2000 with the modern American classic Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee. The play boasts a cast of over 50 professional and community actors – and remains the largest productions (in terms of people) ever to be produced on the Arcade stage.

John Martin joins the sta as Managing Director. He is tasked with charting a new nancial course for the edgling company, and begins to focus on Florida Rep’s nancial health. Now the company’s Executive Director, Martin is Florida Rep’s longest-serving sta member beginning his 21st season in 2022.

Spring 2001

Florida Rep makes a splash producing the hard-hitting Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Wit by Margaret Edson.

Summer 2004

The theatre pays tribute to Neil Simon with summer productions of Lost in Yonkers, Fools, and the second installment of his biographical trilogy, Biloxi Blues.

major individual donation, the sales help to keep the theatre a oat into 2009.

Teachout, who died in 2022, visited Florida Rep nine consecutive seasons. His reviews helped to elevate Florida Rep’s national pro le for a decade. Florida Rep is forever in his debt.
