a message from the

artistic and managing directors

Thank you for joining us for the New England Premiere of Cardboard Piano! We’re delighted to bring this poignant new drama to our MainStage, and could not be more pleased to welcome back director Benny Sato Ambush. At a time when empathy and understanding are at their most needed, Benny’s interpretation of the play puts focus on the questions around who holds the authority to declare what is right. We hope you find the play as compelling as we do. Join us in April for our final production of the season, Becoming Dr. Ruth. In this heartwarming biographical comedy, playwright Mark St. Germain chronicles the life of noted psychologist Dr. Ruth Westheimer from her early years fleeing Nazi Germany, through her time spent as a sniper in Jerusalem and beyond. This illuminating one woman show from the author of Freud’s Last Session is a humorous and heartfelt portrait detailing Dr. Ruth’s incredible journey to become a pioneer in the psychology of human sexuality and the world’s most famous sex therapist. For the upcoming 2019-2020 season, we’re thrilled to announce five MainStage productions that are certain to inspire: Russell Lee’s Nixon’s Nixon, Lindsay Joelle’s Trayf, Lionel Bart’s Oliver!, Pam Gems’ Piaf and August Wilson’s Fences. Visit www.newrep.org for more information about the season and how to subscribe! And join us at ‘Entr’acte’, our annual gala on May 7, in celebration of New Rep’s achievements over the past 35 years, and our future aspirations. Thank you again for visiting us today. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
