ACKNOWLEDGING THE LAND Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here or removed from here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life, and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Acknowledgment of the land which the IRT now occupies is critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage.

We want to acknowledge that what we now call Indiana is on the ancestral lands of many indigenous peoples including the Miami, Piankashaw, Wea, Potawatomi, Kickapoo, Delaware, and Shawnee. We pay respects to their elders past and present. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of displacement, migration, violence, and settlement that bring us together here today.

This land acknowledgement was created in collaboration with Scott Shoemaker, PhD (Miami Tribe of Oklahoma). Portions of this acknowledgment come from the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture (usdac.us).

ACKNOWLEDGING OUR BUILDING’S HISTORY The Indiana Repertory Theatre moved to its current site on Washington Street in 1980, renovating and reopening a building that had been shuttered for nearly a decade.

The historic Indiana Theatre was built in 1927, a time when the shameful practice of racial segregation was the standard in movie theatres and public buildings across the United States. The Indiana Theatre building was originally segregated and at some point in its history this practice ceased. Many Indiana residents and their families’ heritage stories recall being treated as less than equal citizens in this building, with some even being barred from entering. We cannot erase this history.

We honor and respect all those who have faced discrimination and harm in this building. We strive every day to make the IRT a place that welcomes all people.

INDIANA REPERTORY THEATRE PROFILE HISTORY Since the Indiana Repertory Theatre was founded in 1971, it has grown into one of the leading regional theatres in the country, as well as one of the top-flight cultural institutions in the city and state. In 1991 Indiana’s General Assembly designated the IRT as “Theatre Laureate” of the state of Indiana. The IRT’s national reputation has been confirmed by prestigious grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Lila Wallace–Reader’s Digest Fund, the Theatre Communications Group–Pew Charitable Trusts, the Shubert Foundation, and the Kresge Foundation; and by a Joyce Award from the Joyce Foundation.

The IRT remains the largest fully professional resident not-forprofit theatre in the state, providing more than 100,000 live professional theatre experiences in a typical season. The Theatre regularly serves thousands of students from more than half of Indiana’s 92 counties. A staff of year-round employees creates six productions exclusively for Indiana audiences. Actors, directors, and designers are members of professional stage unions.

The IRT’s history has been enacted in two historic downtown theatres. The Athenaeum Turners Building housed the company’s first eight seasons. Since 1980 the IRT has occupied the 1927 Indiana Theatre, which was renovated to contain three performance spaces (OneAmerica Mainstage, Upperstage, and Cabaret) and work spaces, reviving this historic downtown entertainment site.

To keep ticket prices and services affordable for the entire community, the IRT operates as a not-for-profit organization, deriving more than 50% of its operating income from contributions. The theatre is generously supported by foundations, corporations, and individuals, an investment which recognizes the IRT’s mission-based commitment to serving Central Indiana with top-quality theatrical fare.

PROGRAMS The OneAmerica Season includes six productions from classical to contemporary, including the INclusion Series.

Young Playwrights in Process The IRT offers Young Playwrights in Process (YPiP), a playwriting contest and workshop for Indiana middle and high school students.

Community Gathering Place Located in a beautiful historic landmark, the IRT offers a wide variety of unique and adaptable spaces for family, business, and community gatherings of all types. Call Margaret Lehtinen at 317.916.4880 for more information.

Opportunities The IRT depends on the generous donation of time and energy by volunteer ushers; call 317.916.4880 to learn how you can become involved.

Meet the Artists Virtual pre-show chats offer audiences unique insights into each production.

Student Matinees The IRT continues a long-time commitment to student audiences with school-day student matinee performances of all IRT productions. These performances are augmented with educational activities and curriculum support materials. This season A Christmas Carol, Fahrenheit 451, and The Paper Dreams of Harry Chin offer opportunities for student attendance.

Educational Programs The IRT has a long-time commitment to student audiences. This season, we are sharing five of our six productions with students virtually. If you are interested in bringing IRT to your students through streaming productions, or hosting a virtual workshop with an artist, please email education@irtlive.com.

Auxiliary services include study guides.

Janet’s leadership skills and community service have been recognized by the Network of Women in Business–IBJ’s “Influential Women in Business” Award, a Distinguished Hoosier Award conferred

by Governor Frank O’Bannon, Girls Inc.’s Touchstone Award for Arts Leadership, and the Indiana Commission on Women’s “Keeper of the Light” Torchbearer Award. She is a proud alum of the Stanley K. Lacy Leadership program (Class XIX) and was a 2013-2014 Arts Council of Indianapolis Creative Renewal Arts Fellow. She is a member of two honorary gatherings in the America Theatre: the College of Fellows of the American Theatre at the John F. Kennedy Center, and the National Theatre Conference. In 2017 she was named an Indiana Living Legend by the Indiana Historical Society.

LEADERSHIP: JANET ALLEN

Margot Lacy Eccles Artistic Director

Creating world-class professional theatre for Central Indiana audiences of all ages has remained a career-long passion for Janet Allen. She began at the IRT in 1980 as the theatre’s first literary manager–dramaturg. After four years in New York City, she returned to serve ten years as associate artistic director. Named the IRT’s fourth artistic director in 1996, she is now in her 26th season in that role. In January 2020, she was named the Margot Lacy Eccles Artistic Director.

Janet is a member of the Indianapolis Woman’s Club, the Gathering, and Congregation Beth-El Zedeck. She serves on the board of Summit Performance, a small professional theatre company that produces work by and about women. She lives in an historic house built in 1855 in the Chatham Arch neighborhood with her husband, Joel Grynheim, and a lovely canine mutt. They enjoy following the adventures of their three adult children and their new grandchild, who are thriving on various continents.

During Janet’s tenure, the IRT has significantly diversified its services to both adults and children, expanded its new play development programs, solidified its reputation as a top-flight regional theatre dedicated to diverse programming and production quality. Janet’s passion for nurturing playwrights has led to a fruitful relationship with James Still, the IRT’s playwright-in-residence for 24 years, and the creation and production of 16 new works—the Indiana Series— that examine Hoosier and Midwestern sensibilities (seven of them

by James Still). Her collaboration with playwrights has brought the theatre prestigious grants from the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Joyce Foundation, and the Doris Duke Foundation, as well as numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Among the memorable productions she has directed on the IRT’s stages are The Glass Menagerie (1999), Ah! Wilderness (2002), The Drawer Boy (2004), James Still’s The House That Jack Built (2012 & 2021), To Kill a Mockingbird (2016), Looking Over the President’s Shoulder (2008 & 2017), The Diary of Anne Frank (2011 & 2018), Morning After Grace (2020), and Cyrano (2021.)

LEADERSHIP: SUZANNE SWEENEY Managing Director

Suzanne is a 23-year veteran of the IRT and is proud to work alongside her mentor and friend, Janet Allen, as co-CEO of the Theatre. Suzanne oversees all of the administrative functions of the organization, including marketing, fundraising, ticket office, house management, finance, human resources, information technology, and building operations.

During her tenure, the Theatre has secured a long-term lease for the building with the City of Indianapolis and renovated the Upperstage Lobby and restrooms. In June 2020 the Theatre surpassed its $18.5 million goal for its Front and Center campaign, raising $20 million.

Suzanne serves as a member of the board of directors of the League of Resident Theatres, a nationwide association of regional theatres, and she is the associate treasurer of the organization.

In 2021 and 2016, she was honored to serve as a panelist for Shakespeare in American Communities in cooperation with Arts Midwest.

Suzanne is active in the community, having been the treasurer of Irish Fest for nine years, a member of the board of directors and treasurer of the Day Nursery Association (now Early Learning Indiana) for three years, and a past treasurer of IndyFringe.

Suzanne is an alumna of the College of William & Mary (undergraduate) and Indiana University (M.B.A.). She started her career as a CPA; prior to coming to Indianapolis, she worked in finance for more than 10 years, living in such varied locales as Washington, DC; Dallas, Texas; Frankfurt, Germany; Honolulu, Hawaii; and even working for three months in Auckland, New Zealand (where, yes, she went bungee jumping). She is a proud alum of the Stanley K. Lacy Leadership Program (Class XXXI). Suzanne lives in Fall Creek Place with her 18-year-old son, Jackson, and their foxhound rescue dog, Gertie, and spends some of her downtime in Palatine, Illinois, with her partner, Todd Wiencek.

Current projects include his new plays The Cratchits (in America) commissioned by the IRT, his adaptation of the classic Black Beauty, (A) New World, Dinosaur(s), and new play commissions with Prison Performing Arts (St. Louis) and American Blues (Chicago). He has recently written dozens of short new plays that are being performed on digital platforms across the country.

organization in addressing historical inequities and ensuring that the company’s work reflected the diversity of the local community.

Prior to his role at CTC, Ben spent five years in California’s Bay Area, dividing his time between Berkeley Repertory Theatre and the Bay Area Children’s Theatre.

In his native Minnesota, Ben was honored to serve on the education staff of Penumbra Theatre Company, the nation’s leading African American theatre, where he helped to expand their education and outreach offerings. His proudest accomplishments during his four years with the company include growing the nationally recognized Summer Institute for Activist Artists into a threeyear multidisciplinary social justice theatre training program, developing a multigenerational quilting circle, and helping to create and facilitate a racial equity training program through the company’s RACE workshop series.

LEADERSHIP: BENJAMIN HANNA Associate Artistic Director

Ben holds a degree in theatre arts from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. He grew up on a small rural farm and fell in love with theatre at the age of eleven. He continues to create for his favorite audience: his five nieces and nephews.

Ben is a director, educator, and community engagement specialist whose passion for multigenerational theatre has influenced his work across the country. In all of his myriad roles, Ben is guided by the belief that access to high-quality theatre helps build creative, empathetic people and healthy communities.

Ben is thrilled to be in his fifth season at Indiana Repertory Theatre, where he has directed Tuesdays with Morrie, This Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol (twice), The Little Choo-Choo That Thinks She Can, Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!,” and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse. This season he directs The Book Club Play and Fahrenheit 451. As associate artistic director, Ben manages casting both locally and nationally, helps guide education and community programming, and connects IRT to new artists and ideas. Dedicated to eradicating systems of oppression, he is an advocate for creating and maintaining an anti-racist culture that breaks down historical barriers of access to the theatre. Along with Sarah Bellamy, IRT’s Equity Consultant, he guides IRT’s work to develop thoughtful, sustainable Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access initiatives.

Ben is the recipient of a Theatre Communications Group Leadership University Award funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The award supported his artistic mentorship at the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, the nation’s largest theatre for young audiences. During his tenure at CTC, Ben directed in-house productions and took shows across the globe, as far afield as South Africa; he played a key role in fundraising, management, education, and strategic planning processes; and he helped guide the Henry Woronicz in the IRT’s 2021 production of Tuesdays with Morrie.

SITTING TOGETHER

BY JANET ALLEN, MARGOT LACY ECCLES ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome everyone! We are so happy to welcome you back into the OneAmerica Mainstage Theatre, where we can sit together and experience the communal joy of art-making, story-telling, shared laughter, empathy, and human insight. Over these long COVID months, we have come to realize how much we took for granted the ability to safely gather and witness, and we are relieved to come back into community with you to celebrate our shared humanity. Every time we sit together in the presence of storytelling, where we have the privilege to experience, to discuss, to witness—we will receive these experiences as gifts for some time to come, I’m sure.

It is no coincidence that we selected a comedy to re-open our theatre to live performance after an 18-month hiatus. Our shared need to laugh, to allow our perspective to be broadened by sharing joy in the human condition, has rarely been more sorely needed.

It’s also not a coincidence that we selected a comedy that invites us into exploration of many other issues.

Social dynamics, gender dynamics, race dynamics, addiction to media—all play major roles in this very funny, very American play.

All comedy is about very specific social constructs— social petri dishes if you will—and playwright Karen Zacarías’s The Book Club Play is no exception. Her selection of a book club group immediately summons many images: a close-knit group that probably gather

24

for reasons beyond just the discussion of a book, and likely has all kinds of power dynamics, rules for entry, and intricate social nuances. Add to this the idea that the “leader” of the book club has invited a documentarian into their proceedings (or at least his camera lens!), and you have a ripe recipe for cultured mayhem.

Yes, the play is about literature, reading, and books, but it’s also about perceived layers of power, and shifting dynamics. How do contemporary Americans want to “see” themselves? How do they (we) curate their (our) images continuously via media? How do we (they!) worry continuously about how they (we!) will be perceived? And finally, what constitutes a fulfilled life? Comedy is a wonderful omnibus collector of layers of meaning.

As we carefully move back into public spaces, with a lot of concern for safety and for sustainability, we reflect deeply on that simple act: choosing to enter a space where being among other people is key to the experience. We are grateful for everyone’s patience as we work through the challenges. We are also particularly grateful to the artists, artisans, and administrators who are masking up every day to come to work and craft an experience that can enrich our lives, cause us to reflect, and cause us to take joy in human experience with all its conditions and eccentricities. Welcome back.

PERMISSION TO LAUGH

BY BENJAMIN HANNA, DIRECTOR

Come with us to the fall of 2013. Not so very long ago, but what now feels like an eternity. Back to a magical time when people gathered without masks and hugged with abandon. To a time when you could utter a political thought at the dinner table without causing a full-on family war. Join us for book club!

Karen Zacarías has written a whip-smart play that celebrates our relationships to the literature we love and the friends we cherish. There are few things better than sharing a bottle of wine and laughing until your sides ache. After the last year—and as we continue to navigate the pandemic—who doesn’t need a good laugh? In rehearsal we compared notes on the many antics of our own (sometimes surprisingly dramatic) book club experiences. Who actually read the book?

Who skimmed it and lied? Who had an unexpected revelation and blossomed?

Placing book club under the microscope of Danish documentary filmmaker Lars Knutson, Zacarías brings to the stage a contemporary mega-presence: reality TV. As our friends navigate the waters of discussing this week’s book, they are also aware that millions of viewers are watching—and listening. Our desire to be seen as well-read stems from our need for intellectual validation. But who gets to decide what pieces of literature are high art? What makes one book more important than another?

Book clubs celebrate great stories and our ability to love different things, all while drinking a little too much and sharing our favorite indulgent cheese dip. So settle in with this quirky group of thirtysomethings for an evening of secrets revealed through the power of a good book. I hope this play inspires you to crack open an old favorite or add to your reading list. And don’t forget to invite a few friends to read along with you!

COMMUNITY, CONNECTION, & COMEDY JUNGHYUN GEORGIA LEE | SCENIC DESIGNER In our discussions of The Book Club Play, we all found how personal and essential the living room is. It is a public space in your home, yet it also has to serve the daily life of your family.

Here we are creating Anna and Rob’s living room in an upper middle class suburban home, decorated in furnishings of

(probably) Anna’s choice. But we also have surprise elements that will pop up to deliver theatrical and cinematic slices of other people’s lives. It is fun to jump back and forth within the same space and imagine all the comic possibilities of this wonderful play. I hope that you will want to visit Anna and Rob!

ALEX JAEGER | COSTUME DESIGNER I imagine that many audience members might think that designing a play with period costumes is more difficult than a contemporary play. In fact, I find the opposite to be true. With contemporary clothes, the audience members will have a closer connection to each garment. My objective is to clothe each actor in a way that reflects their character while still leaving room for interpretation. I want the clothes to be appropriate for the

character and look right on the actor without falling into cliché.

Notice that I said the clothes should “look right” on the actor. The challenge isn’t always to find the most flattering look for each actor, but to bring them from where they are as an individual to the character they are playing. This play has a very diverse group of characters, and my job is to make costuming choices that will help to tell each of their different stories.

SHARATH PATEL | SOUND DESIGNER To me, the exciting thing about theatre is the collaboration and communication with other artists to create immersive and thoughtprovoking art. I find few things more rewarding than working with my peers to produce something that not only moves people but also can bring them together for a conversation. The thing I adore

about collaborating on The Book Club Play is that it’s a story about community and connection—and it’s a comedy! At this time and place in the world, we need to laugh with our friends and family in a shared communal experience. I am honored to be working with Indiana Rep to create this fun and thought-inspiring piece of art.

DESIGNER JUNGHYUN GEORGIA LEE

Aimé Donna Kelly & Cole Taylor in the IRT’s 2018 production of Pipeline. Photo by Zach Rosing. Scenic design by Junghyun Georgia Lee. JUNGHYUN GEORGIA LEE IS THE SCENIC DESIGNER FOR THE BOOK CLUB PLAY. PREVIOUSLY AT THE IRT SHE HAS DESIGNED SCENERY FOR THIS WONDERFUL LIFE AND PIPELINE, COSTUMES FOR THE UNEXPECTED GUEST AND GEM OF THE OCEAN, AND BOTH FOR TWELVE ANGRY MEN.

HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTERESTED IN THEATRE? Not until my early twenties. I was born and raised in South Korea, finished high school there, and attended two years of university.

My education in South Korea wasn’t about art at all; I was studying geography! (laughs) It was actually very interesting. It wasn’t the geological and scientific components; it was more about the anthropology and economics. It was interesting, but I needed a break; before I settled into a career, I needed to see what was out there. I ventured out to Canada, where I took some fine arts courses at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. I discovered a deeper interest in the arts. From there I got involved in scene painting, and I fell in love with theatre. It was a huge cultural revelation for me. My only previous theatre experience was being briefly active with a marionette troupe in college in South Korea.

That lead me to apply for the theatre design program and get my B.F.A. That was an interdisciplinary program, so I studied costumes and lighting as well as scenery.

32

My parents didn’t understand the concept of a scenic designer; they didn’t even know such a career could exist. For the longest time, my father thought I was doing interior design. Several years later, I had the opportunity to design a musical and an opera in South Korea, two really big shows. My parents came to see those, and now they understand what I do.

So when I applied to graduate schools, I got into the Yale School of Drama. That’s when I moved to the United States. I applied for scenic design, but all their scenic design slots were filled, so they put me in costume design. Yale is also an interdisciplinary program, so I got to study scenery as well as costumes. As an undergrad, I wasn’t that interested in costumes; but at Yale, my learning curve went way up, and I became very interested (and my skills were significantly improved!). I did costume designs for mainstage shows, and scenic design for smaller projects, so by the time I finished my M.F.A., I had a portfolio for both areas. It took me a while to gain credibility in both areas; most U.S. designers do one or the other. But today I get offers for both, and I enjoy doing both.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT DESIGNING? I love figuring things out. I really do. I love reading plays, and finding out about the playwright’s ideas. I love talking with the director and

the other collaborators about what they think is interesting and important about the play. It doesn’t always align! But when you find the point where it does align, then you start figuring out and highlighting the ideas of the play throughout the storytelling.

I love just being in the space. I love the anticipation of things getting built and on stage and lit and everything. And then the show opens and people come to see it.

It’s the community experience. And it’s highly addictive. I just want to keep finding projects that are interesting. I really like people. Not just the people I’m working for or the people I’m designing with. I love the people who are in the story—the characters. And I love the people who encounter that story—the audience. I see people who are moved by it, or dismiss it, or are angry or challenged—I love all those aspects. My career in design allows me to go through these experiences over and over; to take someone else’s story, add my visual element to it, and then see how people react. For other visual artists—painters, sculptors— there is an end product that lasts. For theatre designers, the end product only lasts for a few weeks. For me, it’s how we actually figure it out and how we decide to do it at that moment. And then you move on to the next one.

staff has a lot of insight to offer to help me achieve my sometimes somewhat impossible task. I really love the working process with all the shop heads. Twelve Angry Men was amazing. I loved the play. Costumes for all those different men, plus scenery! The idea of rotating the table, to look at it from different angles—to be honest, there aren’t that many directors in the U.S. who would go with something that is not plausible in real life, not realistic. But James Still decided to go with it, and it worked really beautifully.

Looking back, that whole experience was really great.

For me as a designer, when I come to the IRT, I feel fully supported.

I don’t have to worry about what I can do, or what I cannot do.

Basically, I bring what I want to ask, and they give me an answer.

And usually, if it’s not everything I ask for, it’s pretty close. And I know as a designer that’s the best place to be, to have somebody who gives you clear answers.

And sometimes you get to revisit that story again years later in a different production. Who gets to do that? I get to do that! I did Pericles twice, and the Pericles that I did in my early twenties was totally different from the Pericles I did in my late thirties. Theatre doesn’t exist forever. It’s always new. Honestly, that is the main draw for me.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WORKING AT THE IRT? The first time I worked at the IRT it was designing costumes for Gem of the Ocean on the Mainstage. What I remember from that time is the amazing lobby, the amazing antique plasterwork in the rehearsal room. I thought, “How do you guys just walk by this every day?” Actually I still feel like that every time I come here.

The next time I worked at IRT, it was Pipeline on the Upperstage.

So that was a very different experience, a different space, doing scenery instead of costumes. And that was one of those complicated plays where we really needed to figure it out. The Upperstage was perfect for that play. In my career, I have spent a lot of time figuring out complicated plays in small spaces. Now that’s part of my skill set.

The production departments at the IRT are very supportive. The
