MURDER FOR TWO

FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I’M THRILLED TO WELCOME YOU TO MURDER FOR TWO, a part-musical and part-mystery homage to the whodunit genre, with a hattip to Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. Upon seeing the play for the first time, I was struck by how much can be accomplished by creative and talented minds in the world of theater. Two actors, a piano and tour de force performances create an entire world for the audience. Without an orchestra, a cast of dozens, or sets and costumes galore, we are as magically and happily transported into this funny, sweet and irreverent romp, as if we were regaled by legions of actors and musicians.

Scott Schwartz, Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair have teamed up to infuse this piece with unbridled energy. With the incomparable Jeff Blumenkrantz and Brett Ryback — the original New York cast reunited — they have taken that energy to new heights.

As we embark on the last Audrey play of 2014/2015, I thank you for coming along for the ride this season. From The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Leo Tolstoy: Discord, into Switzerland and now Murder for Two, our goal, as always, is to infuse this intimate space with variety and surprises. We hope you have found both of these elements and so much more in this season of plays. We look forward to seeing you next season.

Enjoy the show.

WELCOME TO OUR FINAL SHOW IN THE 2014/2015 Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater season: Murder for Two. Hailed by The New York Times as “ingenious,” we know this “musical whodunit” will delight Los Angeles audiences all summer long. Congratulations to Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair for creating this unique, musical murder mystery and to Scott Schwartz for directing this high-energy production.

As the 2014/2015 season draws to a close, we would like to highlight the extraordinary generosity of our Geffen Playhouse Board of Directors, Trustees, Advisory Board, major donors and season sponsors, without whom we could not exist. Our deepest gratitude to the loyal subscribers and single ticket buyers who return season after season to support our art onstage, who are bold enough to join us on this artistic journey every year. Thank you for your trust and loyalty, as we could not create new work or take chances bringing world premieres or American premieres to our stages without such dedicated patrons in the audience.

Our sincere thanks to all of you for joining us today and for being such an integral part of the season. We cannot wait for you to see what our 20th anniversary season brings in 2015/2016. We hope you enjoy Murder for Two and look forward to hearing your thoughts about this hilarious musical murder mystery!

Enjoy the show!

THE CHAMELEON PRODUCTION MANAGER DANIEL IONAZZI ON THE EVERVERSATILE CHARMS OF THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER

BY REBECCA HAITHCOAT

THE AUDREY SKIRBALL KENIS THEATER at the Geffen Playhouse is never the same space twice.

In fact, the Audrey morphs so often that if a theatergoer isn’t familiar with the layout, one might assume the Geffen houses three or four stages instead of two. Daniel Ionazzi, the Geffen’s Production Manager, chuckles at the idea.

“When we [were designing it], it wasn’t high on the priorities that it be that versatile,” he says.

Yet it is, and that a theater transforms as easily as its actors is not only poetic, it’s fitting. For last spring’s production of Greg Pierce’s Slowgirl, there was seating on both sides of the performance space, only the second time the Audrey had been arranged thusly. Louis & Keely: Live at the Sahara, which had a successful run at the Geffen in 2009, converted the Audrey into a lounge straight out of Vegas. During the recent production of Joanna Murray-Smith’s Switzerland, a spiral staircase and backdrop painted with a sweeping vista of snowy mountains gave the illusion of a much larger set — despite the happy fact that while Seth Numrich wielded a knife and Laura Linney punched on her typewriter, they were within arm’s reach of many audience members.

“Designers have done a great job of understanding how the space works and adapting to it,” Ionazzi says. “They’re really successful at coming up with new ideas that make it look different every time you go in.”

Ionazzi and Gil Cates began discussing plans for a second theater in 2002 or 2003. The original inspiration for the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater came from Italy’s Piccolo

Teatro di Milano, which was partially inspired by the Teatro Farnase in Parma, Italy. “[The Farnase] has a very deep thrust and is a very beautiful space. The Piccolo is a modern version of that,” Ionazzi continues. “But the idea was to stay away from the nondescript black box syndrome. [We wanted] to give it some character so it could live as it is with a single artist onstage and not have to worry about dressing or decorating the room.”

The team was restricted by the footprint of the property, so they wanted flexibility. They designed the center section’s curve to be fixed, with side seating that wrapped around but could be changed up if a designer so desired.

Only a handful of musicals and concerts — Alan Cumming’s I Bought a Blue Car Today, Louis & Keely: Live at the Sahara, Mona Golabeck in The Pianist of Willesden Lane and now Murder for Two — have been performed in the Audrey. Still, it’s certainly equipped to maximize auditory pleasure. “It wasn’t specifically designed for concerts,” says Ionazzi. “But the acoustics are conducive to musical performance.”

Still, with its many and attractive attributes, Ionazzi namechecks The Jacksonian and says his favorite aspect of the Audrey is its intimacy.

“To see that caliber of performer so intimately is great,” he enthuses. “That’s been the highlight of that space. That’s what’s been remarkable — that you’re so close, and that it can transform and be different things.”

It’s hard to tell whether he means the actors, or the Audrey.

Lyrics & Music by IRVING BERLIN Book by HERSHEY FELDER Directed by TREVOR HAY

Hershey Felder brings to life the remarkable story of Irving Berlin, “America’s Composer.”

From the depths of anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia, to New York’s Lower East Side, and ultimately all of America and the world, Berlin’s story epitomizes the American dream.

Featuring the composer’s most popular and enduring songs from “God Bless America,” to “White Christmas” and beyond, Hershey Felder’s masterful creation of character and musical performance makes this evening with Irving Berlin an unforgettable journey.
