OUT OF MANY. ONE.

At this moment in our history, using our voices and telling our stories couldn’t be more important to creating cultural understanding amongst all people.

Places like GableStage and creators like Charise Castro Smith bring us together in a way that changes us for the better. The theater unites us as a community, even if it’s only for one night.

As a producer, activist, and philanthropist, my commitment to our country is to seek out new, diverse voices and to create opportunities for them to express their talents and make their voices heard.

Because that is what the American Dream is all about.

It is an honor to be a part of the world premiere

Why Here, Why Now?

I have to be honest, I didn’t totally “get” this play when I first encountered it a couple of years ago. When the stunning actress Margery Lowe presented it to me last spring as a project she was eager to sink her teeth into, I took another look.

Maybe it was because on second look, the project still struck me as an enigma – a piece I just couldn’t totally put my finger on or maybe it was because my husband really fell in love with the play and this in turn made it that much more intriguing to me – but because I didn’t totally “get” it – I wanted to take on the challenge of figuring it out.

I started by unpacking the Heisenberg principle, also known as the uncertainty principle. Formulated by the German physicist and Nobel laureate Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the uncertainty principle states that we cannot know both the position and speed of an object with perfect accuracy; the more we nail down the object’s position, the less we know about its speed and vice versa.

I became consumed with wanting to identify this principle within the action of the play – to actualize the scientific principle physically. Dramaturgically we have two characters who make up both elements of the principle: Georgie, who has speed but no anchor – unmoored as she searches for her place in the world, and Alex, who is stuck – whose trajectory forward is unclear.

But beyond these two unlikely lives pin balling and setting the other on a wholly new course, which is kind of a mental exercise for an audience, I was curious about how to visually bring this principle to life.

One of the great joys of theatre-making is collaborating with other artists. In this case the seamless collaboration between set, lighting, sound, costumes, properties and projection design, married with Jeni Hacker’s elegant choreography – work together to not only allow audiences to understand the idea theoretically, but work together to allow audiences to viscerally make sense of the principle.

To me, art is felt, not thought. In order to work on this play, I needed to excavate where the heart and the science met.

And where my heart connected. I mentioned that my husband read this play and was immediately captured by it. My husband is 20 years older than me. We met as neighbors thirteen years ago. I was chasing something and he was waiting for something. In many ways, perhaps this is our story.

NOTA DE LA DIRECTORA ARTISTICA Y DE PRODUCCIÓN

¿Por qué aquí, por qué ahora?

Tengo que ser honesta: no "entendí" totalmente esta obra cuando la encontré por primera vez hace un par de años. Cuando la magnífica actriz Margery Lowe me la propuso la pasada primavera como un proyecto al que estaba deseando hincarle el diente, decidí darle otro vistazo.

Tal vez fue porque en una segunda mirada, el proyecto seguía pareciéndome un enigma, una pieza que no podía entender del todo, o tal vez porque mi esposo realmente se enamoró de la obra y esto a su vez hizo que mucho más intrigante para mí –y porque aún no la "entendía" del todo–, quería asumir el reto de descubrirla.

Empecé por desentrañar el principio de Heisenberg, también conocido como “principio de incertidumbre”. Formulado por el físico alemán y premio Nobel Werner Heisenberg en 1927, el principio de incertidumbre establece que no podemos conocer la posición y la velocidad de un objeto con perfecta precisión; cuanto más determinamos la posición del objeto, menos sabemos sobre su velocidad y viceversa.

Me consumió el deseo de identificar este principio dentro de la acción de la obra, de actualizar físicamente el principio científico. Desde el punto de vista dramatúrgico, tenemos dos personajes que constituyen los dos elementos del principio: Georgie –quien tiene velocidad pero no anclaje y busca su lugar en el mundo– y Alex –que está atascado, sin una trayectoria clara.

Pero más allá de que estas dos vidas improbables coincidan y pongan a la otra en un rumbo totalmente nuevo, lo que representa una suerte de ejercicio mental para el público, yo tenía curiosidad por saber cómo dar vida visualmente a este principio.

Una de las grandes alegrías de hacer teatro es colaborar con otros artistas. En este caso, la perfecta colaboración entre la escenografía, iluminación, sonido, vestuario, decoraciones y el diseño de las proyecciones, junto con la elegante coreografía de Jeni Hacker, no solo permiten que el público entienda la idea teóricamente, sino que trabajan juntos para que el público tenga una comprensión visceral del principio.

Para mí, el arte se siente, no se piensa. Para trabajar en esta obra, necesitaba explorar el punto de encuentro entre el corazón y la ciencia.

Y dónde mi corazón se conectó. Mencioné que mi esposo leyó esta obra y quedó inmediatamente cautivado por ella. Mi esposo es 20 años mayor que yo. Nos conocimos como vecinos hace trece años.Yo buscaba algo y él esperaba algo. En muchos sentidos, quizás esta sea nuestra historia.

Bari Newport Directora Artística y de Producción

DRAMATURG'S NOTE

Whenever I analyze a play, it falls into one of two categories. Those where the playwright analyzes distinct societal problems, laying out clear thematic takeaways for the audience, and human plays, whose meaning is shaped by the audience’s own perceptions and norms, rather than the playwright’s.

While Simon Stephens’ Heisenberg challenges social norms around age and love, it never attempts to assert what is right, what is acceptable, or even what is true. Stephens’ characters instead grapple with the reality of human condition as presented by Heisenberg, capturing the duality of his principle within themselves.

Whether by being guided by their ideals and fantasies or by meticulously walking through life, reducing uncertainty by eliminating vulnerability and connection, neither character has found equanimity through their approach and must achieve balance to confront their own underlying uncertainty.

Neither character, nor the audience, can ever know the true intentions of the other. But by embracing uncertainty, they find the only certain comfort offered to us in life, in one another.

Sammy Heroux Dramaturg

Cada vez que analizo una obra de teatro, la clasifico en una de estas dos categorías: aquellas en las que el dramaturgo presenta conclusiones temáticas claras para la audiencia; y las obras humanas, cuyo significado está conformado por las propias percepciones y creencias del público, en lugar de las del dramaturgo.

Si bien Heisenberg de Simon Stephens desafía las normas sociales sobre la edad y el amor, nunca intenta afirmar lo que es correcto, lo que es aceptable o incluso, lo que es verdad. En cambio, los personajes de Stephens se enfrentan a la realidad de la condición humana tal y como la presenta Heisenberg, captando la dualidad de su principio dentro de ellos mismos.

Sea guiándose por sus ideales y fantasías o caminando meticulosamente por la vida, reduciendo la incertidumbre al eliminar la vulnerabilidad y la conexión, ninguno de los personajes ha encontrado la ecuanimidad a través de su enfoque y deben lograr el equilibrio para confrontar su propia incertidumbre.

Ni los personajes, ni el público, pueden saber nunca las verdaderas intenciones del otro. Pero al abrazar la incertidumbre, encuentran el único consuelo seguro que nos ofrece la vida, el uno al otro.

Impacting Students’ Lives

With a mission of confronting today’s issues and ideas, GableStage has played an important role in Miami’s professional theatre ecology since 1979. Starting as the Florida Shakespeare Theatre and reinventing itself in 1998 as GableStage, the company has been at the forefront of producing provocative theatre. The company’s intimate,edgy, and inspiring work has been seen by over 400,000 patrons and 250,000 students.

For decades, thousands of Miami-Dade high school students were exposed to dynamic, contemporary storytelling through GableStage’s much–lauded student matinee series. Now, after a long hiatus, GableStage, under the leadership of new producing artistic director, Bari Newport and with generous funding from the Green Family Foundation, proudly reinstates this impactful offering.

The company’s flagship in-school offering, Shakespeare-in-the-Schools, visits 20+ Miami-Dade public and private high schools each year. Using a company of emerging theatre artists, GableStage harkins back to its roots as a Shakespeare company, by performing a 50-minute adaptation of Shakespeare’s most popular classics. Each production is re-imagined in a contemporary context.

A number of dramaturgical opportunities for adult theatre goers to expand their understanding of professional theatre production are now being offered on-line and at the theatre. These efforts highlight Newport’s personal desire to inspire a life-long passion for the theatrical art form in all members of the community.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH PROGRAMS

Shakespeare-in-the-Schools

GableStage’s longstanding education initiative that performs 40 performances at upwards of 20 Miami-Dade public and private schools each season, makes a special stop at GableStage March 7 at 7 pm.

William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, Twelfth Night, is a story filled with romance and mistaken identities. In this adaptation, the coast of Illyria is replaced with the vast beaches of Miami, while Haiti stands powerfully in the place of our protagonist’s homeland of Messaline. Boosted by music, poetic language and rich cultural references, this Twelfth Night carefully explores the diverse tapestry of Miami and the migrant stories that have shaped the city many call home.

Mainstage Student Matinees

Mainstage student matinees introduce high school students to professional, high-quality theatre productions which confront today’s issues and ideas. Exposure to professional theatre nurtures compassion, self awareness, tolerance, and provides essential tools for students to become strong, influential leaders of the future.

IN-KIND SUPPORT WISH LIST

There are many ways to support our theatre: you can donate anything from rehearsal/warehouse space to flowers and plants. Donations are tax deductible!

Vehicles

VAN: In addition to being able to bring our work to more loca tions within our community, having our own van will allow us to transport sets, props and costume pieces from storage to the theatre in no time.

CARS: Out-of-town artists need to be able to get around. At the very least, they need to travel from artist housing to the theatre and the grocery store. Having vehicles of our own would elimi nate the need to rent a fleet of cars. Help!

Housing

Have a guest house, vacation house or Airbnb? Housing with kitchens are needed for out-of-town artists staying two weeks or more.

Rehearsal Space

Have a large rec room? We need a mid-size space – 800 sq. ft. or more – to rehearse a play while another production is performing at the theatre.

Warehouse Space

Our theatre is intimate. Outside and inside. Extra warehouse space will help us store furniture, props and other materials used in the productions.

Airline Miles

Help bring out-of-town artists and playwrights to the produc tions.

Food & Hospitality Gift Cards

Support our artists! Meals are appreciated.

Flowers & Plants

Help beautify the entrance to GableStage! Plants and flowers in planters are welcome! Ready to donate?
