FOSTERING EXPERIMENTATION & ARTISTIC RISK

NEW WORK

Portland Stage is known for its role in cultivating new voices in theater and for creating a significant body of theatrical work that has gone on to success beyond our stage.

By incubating new work and supporting writers, Portland Stage has established Maine as a place to launch original and compelling plays.

Since its debut in 1990, the Little Festival of the Unexpected (LFU) has established a tradition of nurturing artists, invigorating audiences, and exploring new voices, visions, and forms of theater. Past LFU scripts include Almost, Maine (LFU 2003) and Papermaker (LFU 2014).

Playwright Greg Lam, 2020 Clauder Competition Grand Prize Winner for his play, Last Ship to Proxima Centauri, soon to be a Portland Stage Mainstage production.

Greg’s play was selected to be a part of the 2021 Little Festival of the Unexpected, where it was performed virtually over Zoom for audiences.

Conversations Join Ovations Offstage in conversation.

These community dialogues, inspired by our live performances, bring visiting artists together with Maine’s thought leaders and community members across all disciplines to share knowledge, deeper insight and context.

Masterclasses Work with and learn from exceptional artists through our masterclasses. Over a season we offer an array of masterclasses – for the general public or for students studying a specific art form.

Pre-Performance Lectures Join Ovations Offstage for an in-depth look at an art form, artist, or performance theme.

These presentations contextualize the performance and bring new meaning to the main event.

School-Time Performances Energize and engage your students with the performing arts and artists through onstage school-time matinees, digital offerings and offstage theater activities. Experiences are aligned with Common Core standards and are supported by educator resources and learning guides.

Cultivating Curiosity Cultivating Curiosity helps grow young people’s love of books by pairing reading opportunities with School-Time Performances, by providing each child who attends the performance a free book born from its title.

Gatherings From a processional performance to shared meals to a walking tour of Portland’s Freedom Trail, Ovations Offstage gathers communities to connect more deeply and locally with the art, artists, and ideas onstage.

“Welcome back to the theater!”

Thanks to our subscribers and donors, we were able to continue our mission of bringing live theater to Maine during the pandemic by producing five plays as well as workshopping and developing over eight new projects with thousands of online participants.

Portland Stage is excited to bring some of these projects to life on our Mainstage as we begin our New Era, New Work season!

From Perseverance by local writer Callie Kimball, to Senior Living, recommended to us by John Cariani, to Sabina, a new musical that was originally part of our 19-20 season, to Last Ship to Proxima Centauri, the 2020 Clauder Competition winner, to Broadway star Richard Topol’s Searching for Mr. Moon, these new plays will explore a wide range of topics that offer a diversity of perspective on our world today.

Come and connect with these beautiful stories as they bring laughter, amusement, tears, and new ideas to you and your friends.

Be the first to see plays that will inspire generations to come!

Portland Presents - Return to Index - 69

“As we move through the coldest, darkest days of the year, we need to find time to laugh.”

As we move through the coldest, darkest days of the year, we need to find time to laugh. Senior Living, a new play by Tor Hyams and Lisa St. Lou, celebrates small victories as a gaggle of seniors living in the same facility step through their daily lives.

Played by five actors who shape-shift throughout the performance, the characters find light in the

70 - Return to Index - Portland Presents

experience of growing old—twirling in wheelchairs; finding joy in the pleasure of rice pudding; and tapping, singing, and flirting their way through life.

They have the same desire for love and romance, the same assuredness about what they think, and the same awareness of technology that they did in their twenties. They are human beings. While their age might have changed, the people have not.

So if you are of a certain age, whether 21 or 100, I think you will find moments that make you smile and laugh out loud as well as fundamental truths spoken by this funny, quirky cast of characters who, as Tor likes to say, “are dying to live.”

Here’s to making the most of our time on this earth.

Enjoy…

TOR HYAMS & LISA ST. LOU PLAYWRIGHTS

Grammy-nominated songwriter Tor Hyams and Broadway performer Lisa St. Lou (The Producers) offer a unique blend of comedy and heart through musicals, plays, and screenwriting.

Original theater works include Stealing Time, where a woman struggles to reconcile her place in a failing marriage (premiered NYMF/2012); The Skylight Room, a collection of stories about lonely people searching for connection, with actor/writer John Cariani; Howie D: Back in the Day, a family musical about belonging and race, based on the real-life experience of Backstreet Boy Howie D (world premiere at The Rose Theater – Omaha, NE/January 2020); and Collateral Beauty, an adaptation of the film starring Will Smith (with screenwriter Allan Loeb). Commissions include a musical adaptation of the legendary television show Green Acres; Ensemble, a collection of previously unpublished letters by Tennessee Williams; and Untitled, a “Golden Age” musical for middle and high school-age students. Tor and Lisa have adapted Senior Living into a half-hour television show. Additional TV pilots include The Lou, the story of a singer/songwriter forced to return home and face her dysfunctional family in St. Louis; Animal Control, about an elite squad in Beaver County, OK, who keep us safe from the animals and the animals safe from us; Clusterf*ck, the story of two fortysomethings who stop at nothing to “write” all the wrongs of life’s banalities; and The Whites, the story of a Black family living in a wealthy, White suburb during the Obama years. Thanks to Judy Ivey, John Cariani, Anita Stewart, Todd Backus and the whole Portland Stage family.

LAND & SLAVERY ACKNOWLEDGMENT We are gathered on the unceded land of the Aucocisco and Abenaki peoples of the Wabanaki Confederacy. Portland Stage asks you to join us in acknowledging the Wabanaki community, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations.

Portland Stage also acknowledges that it was founded upon exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those on whose land this institution is located. This acknowledgment demonstrates a commitment to beginning the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism through our work at Portland Stage.

We encourage you to learn more about the peoples who stewarded the land that you now reside on whether you're from here in Portland or are visiting from away. For more information about the Wabanaki Confederacy, visit mainewabanakireach. org, and to find out whose land you are on, visit native-land.ca.

We also want to acknowledge that the history of Maine is deeply connected to the institution of slavery in the United States, and that residents of Maine participated in both slavery and the transatlantic slave trade even after slavery was outlawed in the District of Maine. While it may be easy to think of Maine and more specifically Portland as a very White place, we recognize that this is simply not the case and we are working to dismantle these harmful ideas. We encourage our audiences to visit the Abyssinian Meeting House (learn more at abyssinianmeetinghouse.org) or the Eastern Cemetery here in Portland, and to explore scholarship on the subject, like Lives of Consequence by Patricia Q. Wall, to learn more about this oftneglected part of Maine’s history.

We recognize that the American Theater has also exploited, misrepresented, and excluded communities of Latine, Asian, Indigenous, and Middle Eastern descent for centuries. Portland Stage is recommitting to telling authentic stories from diverse backgrounds that all of our audiences can experience and enjoy.

CENTERSPREAD TOPICS

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES IN THE US

By Meredith G. Healy

Dr. Keren Wilson is credited with opening the first assisted living facility in Oregon in 1981. Assisted living is defined as “a long-term care option that combines housing, support services, and health care as needed” by the Assisted Living Federation of America. Dr. Wilson’s goals were to let seniors have a sense of autonomy and independence, while also providing different levels of care to different residents depending on their needs.

For example, many facilities have units designated for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia who need more support than those in the general population. In 1988, Dr. Wilson’s facility, Park Place, became the first licensed assisted living facility in the US. As illustrated in Senior Living, there are many benefits to living in an assisted living facility like Riverdale Manor. These facilities strive to give residents as much independence as possible.

Rooms and apartments can be decorated with personal furniture and belongings, many locations allow pets, and residents have control of their schedules. Residents can form lasting and meaningful relationships, and there is a range of activities and programs to encourage connections and a sense of community.

VIGNETTE PLAYS

By Macey Downs

Playwrights Tor Hyams and Lisa St. Lou wrote Senior Living in an engaging style that jumps between short, self-contained scenes surrounding a single theme: what life looks like for Riverdale Manor residents who have experienced full lives yet are still “dying to live.” Senior Living fits into the theatrical canon of vignette plays, named for their brief, descriptive vignette-like scenes. Vignettes in theater or literature are often impressionistic and focus on one particular moment rather than a long-form plot. The individual parts of vignette plays may be simple and small, but the ways the vignettes speak to each other add varying perspectives and ideas to an overarching theme.

This vignette play style will be familiar to frequent Portland Stage audience members. The most famous vignette play is John Cariani’s Almost, Maine, which premiered at Portland Stage in 2004. It feels suitable that a vignette play from and about Maine is the most significant piece of theater to come out of this state, and that Portland Stage is continuing that tradition by premiering Senior Living this January. Life in Maine sometimes feels like a series of vignettes––embracing slower living, moments of stillness in the outdoors, close-knit communities, and snapshots of changing seasons. Vignette plays remind us that our pockets of community tell one story on their own, but are most powerful when intentionally connected to the stories of others.

INTERVIEW WITH THE PLAYWRIGHTS & DIRECTOR

By Meredith G. Healy

Directing and Dramaturgy Apprentice Meredith G. Healy spoke with playwrights Tor Hyams and Lisa St. Lou, and director Judith Ivey about Senior Living.

Meredith G. Healy: Is there something in particular that drew you into this script?

Judith Ivey (JI): I have a certain affinity for older people. My mother is about to turn 100 and my dad is 94, and it’s pretty amazing to still have your parents at my age. I know what my parents go through being older, and now I’m reaching the age where you start to become aware of being a senior citizen. So I thought the script was refreshing.

MGH: I’d also imagine that for older actors it is exciting to have an opportunity to be the focus and the center of attention in this story.

Lisa St. Lou (LSL): That was also part of the inspiration for creating this piece. The older generation in this country is so often tossed to the side and treated as an afterthought. That is a group that still has so much to give.

Tor Hyams (TH): No one talks about old people because we don’t want to think about them. We don’t want to face our own mortality, or face the idea that we will also eventually be old.

Everyone gets old. We did not set out to write a play because of that, but it became a byproduct of what we’re doing.

Playwrights Tor Hyams & Lisa St. Lou

Director Judith Ivey

MGH: Why do you think it is important to do this show right now?

TH: Because it’s about hope, love, and humanity. In this time of such tension across the planet, I think we could all use a break from the noise to see a reflection of ourselves on a stage. I want people to come out of the show feeling like you can have hope and can have love.

LSL: I think the tagline that Tor thought of for this play is very true. It is a play about people dying to live, which is what we’re all doing. Deep down inside of everyone there is a hope that tomorrow will be better and that we will have the courage to keep going.

MGH: What are you hoping audiences will take away from this production?

JI: I hope that they will rejoice in these stories. I hope they walk away celebrating what it is to grow older.
