San Diego Repertory Theatre’s

Gratitude Report

THANK YOU! ASANTE! ¡GRACIAS! TODA RABA! 1

OUR MISSION

THANK YOU! ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE SAN DIEGO REP FAMILY

San Diego Repertory Theatre produces intimate, provocative, inclusive theatre. We promote an interconnected community through vivid works that nourish progressive political and social values and celebrate the multiple voices of our region.

SAN DIEGO REP FEEDS THE CURIOUS SOUL BRIEF HISTORY

When I co-founded San Diego REP in 1976, I had a dream – that San Diego was hungry for a theatre that spoke honestly and adventurously to the America that was being born around us.

This was an America where diversity was cherished, progressive voices were nurtured, and my fellow citizens were eager for the birth of a new San Diego. I was grateful those decades ago when we found that audience, and have been grateful each season since when the theatre lovers of San Diego have told me that San Diego loves San Diego REP. In this past year, our amazingly resourceful and imaginative artistic team has produced and hosted scores of one-of-a-kind theatre events online for this audience. I am so grateful that you have lived online with us. And I am now filled with anticipation and joy as we see that what we have been missing for a year is about to live once again. There has been nothing quite like sharing stories live in the rooms with you for these decades. The rediscovery of that wonder will be an unforgettable event.

When we gather again, in the very special rooms in the Lyceum, I know the rooms will be electric. Because you will be there, with us, live in the room – breathing with us, laughing with us, shivering in delight with us and sharing once again the extraordinary power of an extraordinary story.

We will be fully alive again soon because you will be in the room. For your presence and partnership in the room, I am forever so very, very grateful.

Sam Woodhouse, Artistic Director

Founded in 1976, San Diego REP is downtown San Diego’s resident professional theatre—celebrating yearround on our three stages and in our art galleries the diversity and creativity of our community. As the resident and managing company of the Lyceum Theatre complex, in normal times we serve over 100,000 San Diego County residents and visitors annually through over 550 events and performances.

It seems like just yesterday that I volunteered to take the helm as “interim” managing director of this great company. It is hard to believe that 13 years of “feeding your curious souls” have passed.

In addition to a 1998 Tony Award® Nomination (It Ain’t Nothin’ but the Blues), we have received over 200 awards for artistic excellence from the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle, Patté Theatre Awards, NAACP, and more. In 2005, the REP received the Craig Noel Award “For 30 Years of Artistic Dedication to Downtown and Diversity.”

Since I came in, I’ve continuously thought when the right time is when the next person can run with it. The pandemic provided that pause. Unlike a normal year where we’re producing plays while planning new ones, we had time to get a year ahead in planning. We have 10 plays we’ve penciled in for the future, when normally we might have just five or six. So last month, I announced my retirement.

BY THE NUMBERS

Thanks to you and your gifts, we were able to weather the storm of an historical health pandemic. The REP was able to keep most of its staff employed, and very busy! Seemingly overnight, The REP transitioned from a producer of live theatre to a digital media company. Because of you, we were able to undertake one the widest ranging and ambitious presentations of digital work in our history. Your support allowed us to expand our reach beyond San Diego to across the country and even internationally. And our hard work received recognition. Our film version of Herbert Siguenza’s A Weekend with Pablo Picasso has been nominated for two Pacific Northwest Emmy Awards and our film of Aaron Posner’s JQA was named a New York Times Critics Pick!

Also, thanks to your generosity, The REP was able to lean into its mission of representing the multiple voices of our region. Following the murder of George Floyd and national calls for systemic anti-racism changes, we created We Are Listening: A Live Online Salon About Black Artists’ Experiences in the Theatre Industry, which is now a collaboration between us, La Jolla Playhouse, and The Old Globe. We also developed a comprehensive Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion strategic action plan to transform The REP into a fully inclusive, anti-racist, radically diverse company – on our stages and in the stories we tell.

And soon, we will welcome you back to the theatre once again. Know that I will be right there with you, this time as an audience member.

Thank you for all that you have done to make this great company thrive!

WE OPENED HOUSE OF JOY, THEN… GOING DARK On March 11, 2020, we successfully opened the swashbuckling action-adventure romance House of Joy by Madhuri Shekar, codirected by Sam Woodhouse and Arpita Mukherjee, a National Director’s Fellowship Director awardee, funded through the National New Play Network (NNPN) in conjunction with the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, The Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation.

On March 12, 2020, the global health pandemic forced us to close our doors for the unforeseeable future. In fact, one year later, our venues are still ordered closed.

LEAN INTO THE WIND REP leadership had an important decision to make: Do we close our doors and furlough staff, or do we find a way to RISE TO THE MOMENT and find innovative ways to continue to connect with and engage audiences through virtual platforms?

The REP pivoted from being a live theatre company to a digital media company seemingly overnight.

THE POWER OF THEATRE TO ADDRESS 2 NATIONAL CRISES On the following pages you will find how YOU, THROUGH YOUR SUPPORT, made it possible for San Diego REP to play THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT ONLY THEATRE CAN PLAY in addressing two major national crises: The GLOBAL HEALTH PANDEMIC and the RACIAL JUSTICE RECKONING following the death of George Floyd and subsequent calls for more Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the American Theatre.

RACIAL JUSTICE RECKONING OUR RESPONSE TO THE “WE SEE YOU WHITE AMERICAN THEATRE” MOVEMENT San Diego Repertory Theatre (REP) is listening to the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) across the nation. We acknowledge, respect, and celebrate differences and commonalities and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters. Recognizing that passive solidarity is not enough, we pledge to help eliminate the systemic racism that continues to plague our country by implementing a specific and measurable action plan to which we can be held accountable.

The REP has operated within and benefitted from a structure of systemic racism and culture of white supremacy and privilege that impacts our entire society. We vow to actively examine and dismantle the structures of racism and bias within our theatre, within our community, and within the deepest part of our own selves with fresh eyes. We commit to take significant actions in order to make meaningful change towards equity for all.

We will transform our company to be a fully inclusive anti-racist multicultural organization by making this the focus of our current strategic action.

WE ARE LISTENING Launched an ongoing salon conceived and created by San Diego REP, now in collaboration with The Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse, about Black theatre artists’ experiences in the theatre offered every other Thursday evening.

HEAR U.S. NOW Launched our new play development program cultivating plays by underrepresented BIPOC playwrights with the goal showcasing some of this work in fall 2021 in our inaugural HEAR U.S. NOW FESTIVAL. BLACK VOICES NEW PLAY READING SERIES The REP launched its first annual reading series shared reading by four Black playwrights in March 2021 and plan to continue the series next year. We employed 24 Black artists in this series.

SPEAK UP SPEAK OUT BIPOC and other marginalized artists are invited to write or speak on video what they are passionate about politically, socially, artistically. This began with a very moving three-part series of short essays by black artists about what Black History Month means to them.

THE BREATH PROJECT The REP joined 23 other theatres nationwide for a free festival focused on racial injustice faced by countless members of the nation’s Black community. We helped curate the festival and continue to develop one of the commissions, partnering with Oregon Shakespeare festival and Cornerstone Theatre.

ANTI-RACISM ACTIONS We have adopted a BIPOC Strategic Action Plan to transform The REP into a fully inclusive, anti-racist, radically diverse company – on our stages and in the stories we tell. We created a BIPOC Vision Council, added 4 new Board Members of color, and our entire staff and Board are deep in the middle of our anti-racism training with Sarah Bellamy—a nationally renowned EDI and anti-racism consultant and artistic director of Penumbra Theatre Company.

MAJOR INSTITUTIONAL GRANT AWARD HIGHLIGHTS

THE BEST IS YET TO COME! Beginning this fall, we plan an ambitious sweep of nine productions. Six will be newly announced entertainments. Three will be shows that had to be postponed because of the pandemic – including:

THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION NATIONAL PLAYWRIGHT RESIDENCY PROGRAM Herbert Siguenza, Playwright-In-Residence The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in partnership with HowlRound Theatre Commons, established the National Playwright Residency Program (NPRP) in 2013.

The program provides three years of salary, benefits, and a flexible research and development fund for a diverse group of American playwrights at selected theatres around the country. More than a standard residency, it is a way of reimagining what institutions might look like when an artist’s voice is at their cores.

San Diego REP was awarded this competitive, prestigious multi-year investment in 2017 to support the residency of Herbert Siguenza. We were recently renewed for a second three-year residency through 2022! Some of Herbert’s recent accomplishments during the National Playwright Residency Program include:

Bad Hombres / Good Wives

Beachtown Live!

A Weekend With Pablo Picasso

A staged reading of Isaac Asimov Grand Master Funk was presented at the REP’s Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival (JFEST).

Taught a monthly community Sin Fronteras Writers Workshop at the REP’s Creative Studio.

Supported Amigos Del REP’s activities.

A NEW SEASON SPONSOR! San Diego REP is thrilled to announce that The Conrad Prebys Foundation will join The REP family as a Season Sponsor! We are proud to be selected among 121 grant projects during this inaugural year of the foundation’s funding.

“A lifelong enthusiast of visual and performing arts, Conrad often found inspiration during a visit to a theatre, concert hall or museum,” said Tony Cortes, board chair of The Conrad Prebys Foundation. “This has been an extraordinarily difficult year for the arts and culture community, and Conrad would be deeply pleased to see the impact these grants will have in encouraging this community to do what it does best – inspire.”

The international hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Simon Stephens based on the novel of the same name by Mark Haddon.

An all-female sketch comedy show called She The People, brought to us by the great Second City comedy troupe.

An epic re-imagining of the Grapes of Wrath journey set in the 21st century in the new play Mother Road! by Octavio Solis.

And two world premiere productions developed from our festivals: One from our Black New Voices Play Reading Series and the other from the Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival.

Once we re-open the doors of the Lyceum, on stage will be a banquet of theatre to feed and nourish our hungry cultural souls!

OFF-STAGE PROJECTS IN THE WORKS BIPOC YOUTH USHER PROGRAM We are planning to provide paid opportunities for up to three early-career BIPOC Ushers that will be engaged for an entire season to create employment opportunities in the arts for BIPOC youth; for our diverse community to feel like they are represented and welcome when entering our venues; and to provide opportunities for intergenerational and cross-cultural learning between the young BIPOC ushers and our largely older, retired, white volunteer core usher base.

CharACTER: Apprenticeships, Careers & Training This school-to-career program focuses on justice impacted students experiencing incarceration. The program will offer mentorship, training, and artistic experiences in theatre providing a school-to-career pathway. We are currently developing this program in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education’s Juvenile Court and Community Schools. Playwright’s Project, David’s Harp, and San Diego City College—locally based organizations with multi-years’ experience working with justice-impacted youths—are project partners.
