We proudly start Salt Lake Acting Company’s 44th season with a new mission statement:

to engage and enrich community through brave contemporary theatre This new, community-centered mission reflects Salt Lake Acting Company’s vibrant work onstage and our passion to be a resource to a community that has given this theatre so much.

We begin our season with 400 more subscribers than last year, confirming that we will reach our goal of 2,800 subscribers. With our subscription campaign still underway, it is likely we will exceed this goal, breaking Salt Lake Acting Company subscription records. We recognize that every subscriber is a gift and will honor your commitment by presenting the best plays of the highest quality, and taking great care to make certain your SLAC experience is a positive one.

Most of you are familiar with SLAC’s plays and trust the adventure each one brings. You may not be as familiar with the role SLAC plays in Utah’s vibrant cultural and educational landscape through programming built to inspire our future theatre-goers and theatre-makers.

• Our Title 1 Matinee Program is the centerpiece of our educational programming. Each year, eight performances of our children’s play are presented free of charge to Title 1 schoolchildren. By connecting literacy and theatre, this program affirms the vitality of arts in education.

• The University Professional Theatre Program gives Utah’s theatre students the opportunity to work in a professional theatre, bringing them one step closer to realizing their dreams of a career in theatre.

To enrich and engage community, we hold post play discussions, panel discussions, Green Room Gallery exhibits, and non-profit partnerships.

• SLAC develops and celebrates new work through our New Play Sounding Series and a new program dedicated solely to the development of new scripts, Playwrights’ Lab at SLAC. • SLAC and the David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists are proud to partner and offer a grant that will provide a playwright who is 35 years of age or younger with a weeklong opportunity to develop his or her script here at SLAC. For more information about this programs, please visit our website: saltlakeactingcompany.org or contact us. We’d love to talk to you about all things SLAC.

As we’re riding this wave of effervescent energy and enthusiasm for the future, we’re overjoyed that you have chosen to join us. We are honored by your commitment to this theatre and treasure the opportunity to serve you.

Happy Opening, Cynthia and Keven Executive Producers

In The Room With Robin Wilks-Dunn M

y Aunt Vi, my mother’s sister, lived in California. To me, as a child growing up in rural Louisiana, she seemed exotic and mysterious, always fashion savvy with the newest hottest styles. When I was a child, our families would meet at my grandparent’s house in Illinois. She would swoop in with her designer sunglasses (she worked at the company), bestowing on us all designer sunglasses with our initials in rhinestones. Her hair was dyed and worn in an upsweep do; I never saw her without long, painted fingernails, or without her makeup on. She would splurge on us and buy steak and serve it for breakfast.

She chain-smoked over meals and in elevators. She refused senior discounts and would get offended if one was offered. She spent money she didn’t have to help craft that image. She played by her own rules. She was ballsy and brash and spoke her mind - sometimes just for shock value - and late at night I could hear stirrings of arguments amongst the adults. My mother would be furious with her sister for reasons I didn’t understand until I was older.

What does my Aunt Vi have to do with Sue Mengers? Sue’s words of advice to the audience “You want to be a thing? Make yourself that thing.“ My aunt had in fact done just that, just like Sue had. Violet Grace Payne from rural Illinois moves to California in the 1960s and reinvents herself – became someone that no one in her past recognized, not even her parents, sister, or son. She could be selfish and catty and inconsiderate and in the next breath could be lovely and generous and kind. She would have made a good agent.

And this is exactly what Sue did also – remade herself into the thing she wanted to be – trying to leave behind a past that included painful memories and went to the mecca where dreams are created - to Hollywood. The siren call of Hollywood - where people are lured to and reinvent themselves every day. And it’s hard to know who you are when you have reinvented yourself. Hollywood in the 1960s when Sue arrived didn’t have a lot of women in charge of things. So, not only did Sue re-invert herself, she fought and scrambled to the top and became not the most powerful woman agent in Hollywood in the 1970s but the most powerful agent, period.

And as inexplicable as why someone becomes famous and powerful, the same can be said of the fall. Sue rose to the top very quickly and fell just as fast.

I had never heard of Sue Mengers until I worked on this script, though I knew the stars and directors and movies that she was instrumental in making. I hope you enjoy getting to know Sue as you sit in her Hollywood home in 1981 and learn about her fascinating life and reflect on how we reinvent ourselves – maybe not to the extreme of Sue Mengers or my Aunt Vi, but how we shape our lives, tweak our stories to make them just a tad more engaging, make ourselves into the “thing” we want to be. And is that a firm foundation? Or just waiting to crumble with one false move?

We are excited to welcome University of Utah student Martin Alcocer as part of the University Professional Theatre Program.

“The opportunity that SLAC offers through the University Professional Theatre Program is one of a kind. It’s one thing to learn about theatre in college but it is a completely different thing to be able to gain Stage Manager Jennie Sant and Martin Alcocer during rehearsal. experience in a professional setting such as the one here at SLAC. There is no better way to improve one’s skills than by practicing them and putting them to the test. I am beyond grateful to have been given a chance to work here through UPTP. It is simply great that a local theatre gives students the chance to both work and learn in such a setting.”

SALT LAKE ACTING COMPANY’S 2014/15 MINI SEASON INCLUDES: RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN | October 22-November 16, 2014

by Gina Gionfriddo

Obie Award Winning Playwright After graduate school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. This comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th century feminist ideals.

TWO STORIES | February 4-March 1, 2015

by Elaine Jarvik World Premiere

Jodi is a struggling journalist eager to keep her job in a changing economy when a Pakistani family moves in next door. What follows is an exploration of diverse landscapes, including economic risings and fallings, sensationalism and honesty, getting ahead and falling behind, and more intimately, how identity is bridged between generations.

MR. PERFECT | April 8-May 3, 2015

by William Missouri Downs World Premiere

A quirky flight attendant who is a romance novel junkie meets Mr. Perfect and it doesn’t work out. She sets out on a search to find the purpose of life by connecting the random chance events that make up existence. A sort of romantic comedy by the playwright who wrote last season’s THE EXIT INTERVIEW.
