Director’s Notes

Plays, and movies, are much like swans. The beauty you see on stage and screen hides the effort that it takes to bring stories to life. Some of the best-known pieces of culture have the craziest of backstories. And no movie had more going on behind the scenes than Gone With the Wind.

Three of the characters you will see onstage—David O. Selznick, Ben Hecht, and Victor Fleming—are directly based on the real men who were driving forces behind the movie. All three were larger than life in history, which has been a joy to bring to life. The major beats of the story are true to life. George Cukor was fired from the production and replaced by Fleming. At least five different writers had a hand in the screenplay, including Hecht. While many of the beats in our story come from the imagination of the playwright, they capture the spirit of the madcap production of one of the most famous movies in Hollywood history.

Published in 2005, Moonlight and Magnolias also deals with the historical moment in which the play is set. By the time Gone With the Wind was released in January of 1940, war had begun in Europe. As the characters grapple with a story set heavily during the Civil War, they also grapple with the real-world parallels unfolding in Europe. Much of the language used in the play is jarring to modern ears. While the play is distinctly a comedy, we are reminded that the world of 1939 was very different from the world today.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

SHOW SYNOPSIS

It’s Hollywood, 1939. Legendary film producer David O. Selznick is five weeks into shooting Gone With the Wind when he realizes the script is awful and the director doesn’t have a clue. He has a few short days to replace them and restart shooting, or the production will shut down. Over the course of five days, three writers frantically craft (and act out all of the parts!) one of the most beloved screenplays of all times. Join us for this funny and affectionate comic romp that takes us behind the scenes of an iconic story.

Time: 1939

Setting: A Hollywood studio lot, office of legendary producer David O. Selznick.

RUMORS

written by Neil Simon

directed by Matthew Randall

When Neil Simon needed a good laugh, this is the play he wrote! Join us for this first-rate farce with plenty of physical comedy, high-octane energy, and loaded with classic Neil Simon wit. It begins with three couples as they arrive at an upper-crust Manhattan anniversary party to discover that their host (the Deputy Mayor of New York), has accidentally maimed himself. Watch as the couples go to outrageous lengths to keep the police and press from finding out the truth. Don’t miss this gem of a comedy!

Meet the Crew (in alphabetical order)

Hilary Adams (Hair and Makeup Design) is delighted to bring her love of makeup and vintage fashion to this production. Hilary has worn many hats at LTA, including those of actor, assistant director, producer, props designer and bartender, to name a few. She is grateful to Juli, the production team and the cast for making her a part of the Moonlight family. Enjoy the show!

Ceci Albert and Mary Wallace (Co-Costume Design) are delighted to be back at LTA after their debut as a costuming team for this year’s production of A Christmas Carol. Ceci previously costumed at LTA for Red, White and Tuna; The Audience, and A Fox on the Fairway with Lisa Brownsword, who moved to Georgia. Mary Wallace joined us this year from Florida with extensive costuming experience. Ceci and Mary are excited about helping to bring 1939 back to life with this incredible cast and crew.

Rachel Alberts (Co-Producer) has produced a grand total of 10 shows at LTA in addition to directing, producing and writing plays for children for a dozen years.

Enjoy each moment of any given day, because that is all we really have—moments and people to share them with. Love to my family.

Stacey Becker (Set Decoration and Co-Set Design) is excited to be working on another production at LTA and is especially delighted to be partnering with Ken Brown on set design. Stacey’s latest work behind the scenes was co-producer and set painting designer for The Haunting of Hill House and most recently co-set painting designer for A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. She hopes the audience enjoys the show as much as she did working alongside the wonderful cast and crew. Have fun!

Previous directing credits include The Savannah Disputation (LTA, assistant director), Just Relative (LTA one-act), Capsmittment (VTC), Hamlet (PCP) and Capsmittment (LTA New Voices). Many thanks to James for his support.

Ken Brown (Set Construction and Co-Set Design) is excited to be working on another LTA production as set builder and set designer with Stacey Becker.

(Shakespeare in the Dark), Modern Art, The Complete History of Fairfax and SuperNOVA (Class Act Players).

Sherry Clarke (Co-Stage Manager) first “dabbled in the arts” with the typical childhood neighborhood plays. In her late teens, Sherry experienced high school/college plays and musicals, starting a 13-year career as a vocalist based in Seattle. In Alexandria, she discovered LTA, a new home in which to explore her theatrical roots. Sherry’s most recent stage management credits include The Haunting of Hill House, A Fox on the Fairway, Harvey, August: Osage County and The Fantasticks.

Margaret Evans-Joyce (Co-Stage Manager) has produced about a dozen plays and stage managed almost twice that many. She served four years at LTA President and also as the Governor of Production. She received the Outstanding Service to LTA Award and the award for Long and Exceptional Service in a Single Department and also shared the award for 2014 Outstanding Production for Avenue Q. Margaret is an adjunct professor at Howard University in speech language pathology. It’s nice to be back on Book again!

Alex Geoghagan (Wardrobe Coordinator) After a long hiatus from theatre, Alex Geoghagan joined up with LTA for 2018’s A Christmas Carol as part of the makeup team. Afterward, he transferred to the wardrobe department and has since become wardrobe co-chair with Robin Woo. He regularly works to lend LTA’s costumes for use in productions in other theaters across the community and to curate LTA’s vast costume collection.

JK Lighting Design also works with ACCT, RCP, TAP, VTC and other local theatre companies. Jeff and Kimberly are the 2018 WATCH Award winners for LTA’s Dracula. Jeff would like to thank his family, David and Katie Clement, for all their love and support. Kimberly would like to thank Steve Crago for his unwavering support. They consider it a joy to work with their talented friends at LTA. Please enjoy the show!

Brian Knapp (Photographer) has been a portrait and event photographer for close to 20 years and actively shooting theatre for over 10. He has captured candid images from close to 100 performances by a variety of theatre groups in the Northern Virginia area. His love of theatre photography started when his youngest daughter became involved in a local children’s theatre group. Though his daughter has since moved on to university, Brian has continued to work closely with the same theatre group he started with and has recently expanded to working with other theatres in the area. This is Brian’s first production with LTA, and he is honored to be working with such a talented cast and crew!

Welcome to the “Shakespeare Garden” in The Little Theatre of Alexandria Courtyard! This beautiful garden was made possible with donations from LTA members and supporters who purchased bricks during the LTA Council’s fund-raising campaign February-April of 2017. We have planted floral species that figured prominently in the Bard’s writings. We invite you to check out our courtyard during intermission and see how many you can identify!

The Council of The Little Theatre of Alexandria, organized in 1961, is a dedicated group of about 70 members that supports the theatre with special contributions. While our “Shakespeare Garden” is our most massive accomplishment so far, our past contributions included: scholarships for high school students, a new range, draperies and ice maker for the Council Green Room, folding chairs and tables throughout the theatre, brass plates for sponsored theatre seats, a computerized box office system, several grand drapes over the years, and many varied technical enhancements, including automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for safety. Contributions to LTA from the Council have exceeded $215,000. The Council conducts three business/social meetings per year, and decorates the theatre for the winter holidays. We are pleased to be a part of the Alexandria artistic community and proud to support one of the best community theatres in America today!
