WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
The Gallo Center for the Arts is a non-profit performing arts center with a deep commitment to enriching the people and communities of California’s vast San Joaquin Valley. From the scintillating performances of its wonderful resident companies, to the great variety of world-class entertainment presented by the Center each season, to robust arts education programs for the region’s youth, this is where the magic happens.
From the beginning, the Center’s mission has been clearly defined: to provide an inspirational civic gathering place where regional, national, and international cultural activities illuminate, educate, and entertain. Since revenue from ticket sales and facility rentals only covers a portion of the costs associated with fulfilling this mission, the Center is dependent on the generous annual financial support from donors and program sponsors within our community.

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
“ A writer lives in awe of words, for they can be cruel or kind, and they can change their meanings right in front of you. ”
John SteinbeckSteinbeck’s work can be classified as social novels dealing with the economic problems of rural labor. After the rough and earthy humor of his early writing, he moved on to more serious fiction, often aggressive in its social criticism. In 1937 he wrote Of Mice and Men , the story of a child-like giant named Lennie and his friend and protector George. When the book was published, the world was in the grip of the Great Depression. Americans were out of work, breadlines were common day occurrences, and the future looked grim. By the time he wrote Of Mice and Men , itinerant ranch hands were beginning to be replaced by machinery. Nevertheless, Steinbeck’s story captures the culture of those workers realistically and provides a vehicle for his thoughts about the common man.
Of Mice and Men was adapted into an award-winning play shortly after its publication and performed on Broadway for 207 performances. You will witness George and Lennie’s dreams, hopes, and courage. Neither man has a dime to their names or a place to lay their heads, but they strive for a better life; they long for self-respect, independence, and a place to call home.
Thank you for supporting the Gallo Center Repertory Company. Our 2022-2023 season concludes in May with a world-premiere production of Twisted Tales of Edgar Allan Poe , a stage play comprised of five stories from the master of the macabre himself, told through projections, dance, and music. We hope to see you there!
Jim Johnson Artistic Director Gallo Center Repertory Company
PROGRAM
NOTES
When offered the opportunity to direct a production of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men for the Gallo Center Repertory Company, I immediately jumped at the chance. I have directed the play twice before, read the novel several times from which the play sprung, and it always moved and challenged me greatly. I was raised in California’s Central Valley, where Of Mice and Men takes place, and so I have completely identified with these people, their language, their attitudes, their hopes and dreams, and sometimes failures.
In past productions I was lucky to find actors suitable for these men (and young woman) and hoped to find yet another cast for GCRC that would make each character come alive. The cast we have assembled for this production I can safely say is one of the best I have worked with. Each rehearsal was an exercise, an exploratory journey, and often I found myself moved to tears watching these actors bring forth all the pathos and hilarity, and authentic cadence, fully fleshed out.
I am very proud of my cast and know you will all agree with me that they aren’t just actors reciting words, but genuine creatures of the Central California earth, with all the energy, with all the toughness, with all the stubborn willfulness to survive.

JOHN STEINBECK ( Author ) – was born in Salinas, California and came from a family of moderate means. He worked his way through college at Stanford University but never graduated. In 1925 he went to New York, where
he tried for a few years to establish himself as a freelance writer, but he failed and returned to California. After publishing some novels and short stories, Steinbeck first became widely known with Tortilla Flat (1935), a series of humorous stories about Monterey paisanos.
Steinbeck’s novels can all be classified as social novels dealing with the economic problems of rural labor, but there is also a streak of worship of the soil in his books, which does not always agree with his matter-of-fact sociological approach. After the rough and earthy humor of Tortilla Flat , he moved on to more serious fiction, often aggressive in its social criticism, to In Dubious Battle (1936), which deals with the strikes of the migratory fruit pickers on California plantations. This was followed by Of Mice and Men (1937), and a series of admirable short stories collected in the volume The Long Valley (1938). In 1939 he published what is considered his best work, The Grapes of Wrath , the story of Oklahoma tenant farmers who, unable to earn a living from the land, moved to California where they became migratory workers.
Among his later works should be mentioned East of Eden (1952), The Winter of Our Discontent (1961), and Travels with Charley (1962), a travelogue in which Steinbeck wrote about his impressions during a three-month tour in a truck that led him through forty American states. He died in New York City in 1968.
