I fell in love with Christopher Durang’s plays in college, when I read Baby With the Bathwater and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You. I have not stopped laughing since. He is a great, uniquely American playwright, and his ability to locate the most outrageous humor in the most painful experiences is unparalleled. Humor is a form of courage, and I am amazed by anyone who holds on to it as they age and the aches and injustices of life pile on. On the basis of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, I would say that Christopher Durang is as brave as he is funny.

In this play three older characters find themselves up against the younger generation. Rather than a war of the sexes, it’s a war of the generations. There’s nothing covert about Durang. When Vanya lets loose he speaks for anyone who is dismayed by the banality of celebrity culture, reality TV, texting, and tweeting. Durang’s voice is always welcome, and I look forward to what he’ll give us in the coming decades.

The Broadway premiere, which brought the play its Tony, was helmed by Nicky Martin. He was my dear friend and mentor and he passed away last month. Our production is helmed by our Associate Artistic Director Max Williams. I look forward to seeing what this talented younger director brings to the play.

I’d like to turn our attention from last year’s Tony Award Winning play to this year’s multiple Tony-nominated musical, A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder. Who could have predicted the journey this show has taken, from its premiere at Hartford Stage in the fall of 2012; to The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego to a Broadway opening in the fall of 2013; to being the best reviewed and most nominated new musical of the current Broadway season? What a journey it has been!

On behalf of the board and staff of Hartford Stage, congratulations to Robert Freedman and Steven Lutvak who wrote the show; Darko, Peggy Hickey (choreographer), Jonathan Tunick (orchestrations) and the first rate design team of Alexander Dodge, Linda Cho, Philip Rosenberg and Aaron Rhyne; Jefferson Mays and the rest of the incomparable acting company, Joey Parnes and his partners who have lovingly shepherded the show in New York; and 50 Church Street Productions, a group of local investors led by our Board Member Rick Costello, who helped to finance it.

The success of Gentlemen’s Guide is something the entire Hartford community should take pride in. I would especially like to thank all of you in the audience for going on the journey with Hartford Stage every year, and taking the “risk” with us on the development of new works. We couldn’t do it without you. We are concluding our 50th Anniversary Season on this very high note, ever mindful of the support we receive year after year from our most loyal fans and followers—and we are grateful.

Have a great time at Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike! Enjoy the summer months, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Hartford Stage and our newly renovated theatre in September with Michael Wilson’s exciting production of another new play, Elizabeth Egloff’s Ether Dome.

Cheers!

Chekhov in Anton Chekhov

Bucks County For his most recent play, Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike, Christopher Durang drew on his love of Chekhov for inspiration.

“For one thing, I am aware that much more of life is behind me than ahead of me, which is a very Chekhovian idea,” he says. “Also, I was sort of feeling like where I live reminded me of Chekhov, where the people who live in the country are always aware that the people who live in the city are having more fun.”

Durang makes his home in Bucks County, PA, where the play is set, though he lived for many years in New York.

While the play is far from a direct adaptation of any of Chekhov’s work, in it Durang draws piecemeal from most of the major plays. He plays on character names, relationships, and plots.

In Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, the title character has spent his life working on the estate to maintain it for the benefit of his eminent brother-in-law, a widowed professor in Moscow who has remarried an alluring and much younger woman. The professor’s daughter, Vanya’s niece Sonya, lives on the estate with him. Both have been unlucky in love.

Masha is one of three sisters in the play of that name.

In The Seagull, an extremely successful actress has come home for a visit.

Her son hopes to impress her with a play he’s written and persuaded their

young neighbor (an aspiring actress named Nina) to perform for the company.

And The Cherry Orchard centers around the decision made by its absentee owner to sell it, despite any inconvenience to her relatives and neighbors.

Durang also says he admires and enjoys Chekhov “for his complicated psychology and his characters’ regrets, and for the way some lines “ping” out at you, like “I’m in mourning for my life” from “Sea Gull” or from “The Three Sisters,” the young Irina, happy in the first act, but miserable in the third act as she realizes her hopes for the future have faded and that every day she forgets something she used to know, angrily saying the poignant line “I’ve forgotten the Italian for window and ceiling”.

Original Moscow Art Theatre production of Uncle Vanya (1899).

His directing credits at the Old Globe include Cyrano de Bergerac, Coriolanus, The Women, The Pleasure of His Company, All’s Well That Ends Well, Bell, Book and Candle, Hamlet, Titus Andronicus, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Winter’s Tale, A Comedy of Errors, Antony and Cleopatra, The Two Noble Kinsmen, and Pericles. He received four awards from the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle: for outstanding direction of Cyrano de Bergerac, The Winter’s Tale, and Pericles and for Excellence in Artistic Direction. In 2011, Tresnjak directed Titus Andronicus at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada, City of Angels for Goodspeed Musicals, and his acclaimed production of The Merchant of Venice, featuring F. Murray Abraham as Shylock, completed a national tour. The production originated in 2007 at Theatre for a New Audience and transferred to the Royal Shakespeare Company as part of their Complete Works Festival. Tresnjak’s directing career began at the Williamstown Theatre Festival where over eight seasons he directed The Skin of Our Teeth, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, The Love of Three Oranges, Princess Turandot, The Blue Demon, The Winter’s Tale, Moving Picture, and Under Milk Wood. He has also directed at the Joseph Papp Public Theater, Theatre for a New Audience, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Vineyard Theatre Company, and Blue Light Theater Company. From 2002-2004 he was Director in Residence at Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company where his productions included What the Butler Saw, Heartbreak House, and Amphitryon. Tresnjak recently directed Der Zwerg, Der Zerbrochene Krug, and Die Vögel for Los Angeles Opera, the inaugural productions of their acclaimed Recovered Voices cycle. The productions were released last fall on DVD/Blu-Ray by Arthaus Musik. He has also directed at Opera Theater of Saint Louis, Florida Grand Opera, Sarasota Opera, and Virginia Opera. Connecticut audiences will know Tresnjak’s work from Goodspeed Musicals where he directed Carnival, Amour, and A Little Night Music; Long Wharf Theatre where he directed Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead; and Westport Country Playhouse where he directed Hay Fever and Princess Turandot. Tresnjak grew up in Yugoslavia, the United States and Poland. He was educated at Swarthmore College and Columbia University and became an American citizen shortly after graduation. Between college and graduate school, he studied at the Martha Graham School, performed with numerous Philadelphia dance and theatre companies, and toured across the United States and Japan with Mum Puppettheatre. He is the recipient of grants from Theatre Communications Group, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Alan Schneider Award for Directing Excellence.

National Honor. Hartford Stage’s Education Department

has been awarded the 2014 Excellence in Financial Literacy Education Award for Children’s Education Program of the Year by the Institute for Financial Literacy. The award was given for the Hartford Stage Financial Literacy Program, an adaptation of a Wells Fargo program, which uses theatre techniques to teach the basics of banking and money management.

Party in the Paint Shop: 1964, our annual Gala, was a huge success, raising over $400,000 to support our art and programs. The Hartford Stage Scene and Paint Shop was transformed as 400 guests enjoyed food, wine, and posing for pictures in our vintage 1964 Living Room. It’s not too early to save the date for next year: April 25, 2015!

The Hartt School/Hartford Stage Partnership in Training Now in its ninth year, The Hartt School/Hartford Stage Partnership in Training offers a unique alliance of an undergraduate acting conservatory program and a respected professional theatre—one of only two such collaborations in the country. This partnership helps ensure that acting students at the Hartt School receive rigorous training and bring their skills, imagination and intellect to the demands of a professional theatre setting. Hartford Stage staff and guest artists lead classes and workshops and faculty and students appear in Hartford Stage productions.

Hartt students have been seen in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Christmas Carol, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Noises Off!, To Kill a Mockingbird, the Brand:NEW Festival of New Work, Antony & Cleopatra, Snow Falling on Cedars, The Crucible, The Tempest and Twelfth Night.

The University of Massachusetts Graduate Internships at Hartford Stage Linking one of the most respected graduate programs in theatre with the Tony Award-winning Hartford Stage, the University of Massachusetts Graduate Internships give Master of Fine Arts students in design, directing and dramaturgy the opportunity to work alongside the country’s most exciting artists. The Graduate Internships provide a valuable professional testing ground for students and are a natural complement to the practical, hands-on approach of UMass’ graduate program. In turn, Hartford Stage is enriched by the participation of the next generation of theatre artists. UMass students have worked on Boeing-Boeing, Zerline’s Tale, Gee’s Bend, Motherhood Out Loud, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Snow Falling on Cedars, The 39 Steps, the Brand:NEW Festival of New Work and Hedda Gabler.
