Welcome to Signature

Welcome to Signature Theatre and After Midnight. Featuring 28 of the big band era’s most memorable songs, performed by a cast of 12 and a band of seven, this production is one of the largest shows we’ve presented as a part of Signature Features. It was unbelievable to feel all that energy in our building again as we put this special production on film. The dressing rooms were full, the backstage felt electric and for the first time in a year we were once again producing a large scale musical in our intimate space. Artists like Jared Grimes, Mark G. Meadows and Nova Y. Payton returned to our stage, where their talents have been sorely missed. With each song performed by this talented cast, you could feel the room vibrate with energy both onstage and off. After Midnight is a celebration of the artists and art that came out of The Harlem Renaissance a century ago. It was a golden age of African American culture encompassing art, poetry, literature, music and so much more. The Harlem Renaissance was a time of revolution as Black creatives took control of their narratives. We are currently witnessing what has been called by many as a new Black Renaissance—though the brilliance of Black artists has never left. It is our wish to give space at Signature for this art and to

continue to uplift Black voices. This creative team and company honored the genius of the Harlem Renaissance while showcasing the artistic promise of tomorrow. In mid-July we will be announcing our plans for a return to live theater. The season will begin in November and will be comprised of six shows. It is everything you associate with Signature— big musicals, exciting world premieres, and reimagined classic works. We also believe that safety is of the utmost concern and have created a webpage to give you every detail of how we plan to keep everyone at Signature safe. You can learn more at SigTheatre.org/Safety. The light at the end of the tunnel is nearing. We cannot wait until our doors are open once more and for you to climb those lighted steps to enter the world of the show. This past year has been an unbelievable journey and we thank you for joining us on this ride. Now, enjoy the show.

The Harlem He Take Harlem’s heartbeat, Make a drumbeat, Put it on a record, let it whirl, And while we listen to it play, Dance with you till day – Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl. - Juke Box Love Song by Langston Hughes

Considered a golden age of African American culture, the Harlem Renaissance lasted from roughly 1920 – 1935 and was an explosion of creativity and expression through all forms of art that centered on Black excellence, pride, and identity. While the movement is most oft associated with Harlem, the New York City neighborhood served more as an anchor than singular location as the art occurred in all urban areas in the North and Midwestern United States. Many key circumstances came together to make this rich, creative environment possible. After a rapid series of overdevelopment in a northern Manhattan neighborhood in the 1880s intended for upper income whites left a section of New York City vacant, landlords seeking to fill their empty buildings began to lease to African Americans at great discounts. This influx of prime real estate coincided with the Great Migration, a time between 1910 and 1920 where Black southerners moved north in large numbers searching for better opportunities and relief from oppressive and violent racism. Harlem became a popular destination and nearly 175,000 people moved to the neighborhood, making Harlem a virtual capital for Black America.

Duke Ellington by Gordon Parks

In addition to the affordable housing that attracted people from across the country, Harlem also had access to the infrastructure to support the arts. New York City was the home to prominent literature publishers, the music publishers of Tin Pan Alley, the performing arts of Broadway, and the city was at the forefront for the nascent recording and broadcasting industry. Not only could artists find a home in Harlem, they had the opportunity to increase their visibility to a worldwide audience. For instance, Shuffle Along, the first musical written, produced and performed by African Americans (book by F.E.

Heartbeat Miller and Aubrey Lyles with music by Eubie Blake and lyrics by Noble Sissle), premiered on Broadway in 1921—and was a critical and financial success that then went on tour for three years. The array of talent that arrived in Harlem during this time was nearly incalculable. Buoyed by the freedom of expression gained in the safety of a neighborhood away from white discrimination, and the economic boom of the 1920s, an intellectual and cultural outpouring of visual and performing arts, poetry, literature, and music flourished. Such luminaries as poets Langston Hughes, Claude McKay and Georgia Douglas Johnson, writers W.E.B. DuBois and Zora Neale Hurston, musicians such as Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong, visual artists Aaron Douglas and Richmond Barthé, and performers such as Adelaide Hall, Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson all spent time or lived in Harlem.

Zora Neale Hurston by Carl Van Vechten

A main focus of the art was in Black excellence to counter the racist stereotypes inflicted on the Black population and to reclaim their identity and pride. Notable examples include Duke Ellington’s sophisticated dress and complicated compositions in such works as Black and Tan Fantasy, ethnographer Zora Neale Hurston’s dedication to the preservation of African American language in her writings such as “Spunk,” and Aaron Douglas’s combination of traditional African art with modernist elements in the painting The Judgement Day that he created for James Weldon Johnson’s book of poetry, God’s Trombones, that was based on Black preaching styles. When the Great Depression began, the Black community was hit the hardest. Work dried up and they were often shut out from New Deal era stimulus programs. The economic decline, a lack of city municipal investment, and loss of employment transformed Harlem, and the Renaissance came to an end. However, this brilliant moment in time battled negative stereotypes, illuminated the Black American experience for a worldwide audience, and laid groundwork for the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. The art produced also remains enjoyable and inspirational to this day—one hundred years later—a timeless tribute to this golden age.

He has been involved in dozens of productions presented by Jujamcyn since 1987, including multiple Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winners, from City of Angels to Angels in America. He has also helped shepherd six of August Wilson’s plays to Broadway. He is the artistic director of New York City Center’s acclaimed Encores! series, which presents three musical productions every season. In that capacity he has overseen fifty shows, for some of which he adapted the scripts. He conceived the longrunning Smokey Joe’s Cafe and the critically acclaimed After Midnight and has been a creative consultant on many shows, including Hairspray, A Christmas Story, and Dear Evan Hansen. He was the Mark Taper Forum’s dramaturg and the drama critic and arts editor of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, and he has spent a decade teaching musical theater at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. James Mercer Langston Hughes (1902 – 1967) was a poet, novelist, social activist, journalist, dramatist and one of the leaders of the Harlem Renaissance. Over his career he published 47 volumes, notable among them are The Weary Blues (1926), Not Without Laughter (1930, winner of the Harmon gold medal for literature), The Ways of White Folks (1934), Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951), and his autobiographies The Big Sea (1940) and I Wonder as I Wander (1956). He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science and the National Institute of Arts and Letters.

Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington (1899 – 1974) was a seminal jazz composer, arranger, pianist and band letter who composed thousands of scores over a six-decade career. A DC native, Ellington moved to New York where his band headlined the Cotton Club in Harlem for 5 years before touring for the rest of his career. Best known compositions include “Black and Tan Fantasy,” “Sophisticated Lady,” and “Satin Doll.” His awards include 12 Grammy Awards, a Medal of Freedom, and a posthumous Pulitzer Prize Special Award for music in 1999. His recordings remain among the most popular jazz records to the present day.

Leadership Maggie Boland (Managing Director) joined the Signature Theatre staff in May 2008. Prior to joining Signature, Maggie spent nearly 10 years at Arena Stage in increasingly senior positions, beginning as Marketing Director, responsible for Arena’s earned income, and assuming oversight of the $3 million+ Annual Fund and $125 million Next Stage Campaign in subsequent seasons as the Director of External Affairs. Prior to joining Arena Stage, Maggie worked on Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre Company for nearly six years, most recently as the Director of Annual Giving, responsible for raising more than $3.5 million annually. Maggie also participated extensively in Roundabout’s capital campaign to fund the restoration and renovation of the American Airlines Theatre. She was named a recipient of 2016 Women Who Mean Business award from the Washington Business Journal. Maggie graduated magna cum laude from Boston College’s Honors Program with a BA in English; she is a member of the Board of Directors of TheatreWashington and serves as Vice President of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT).

About Signature Founded in 1989, Signature Theatre is a Tony Award®-winning regional theater that broadens and brightens the region’s cultural landscape with its bold productions of challenging new and established works and engaging education and outreach programs. Currently under the leadership of Managing Director Maggie Boland, musical theater is Signature’s “signature,” and the Theatre is renowned for its definitive Sondheim productions, inventive adaptations of overlooked or forgotten works, and investment in fresh new projects. Called a “musical theater powerhouse” and “a dream for patrons” by The Washington Post, Signature combines Broadway-caliber productions with intimate playing spaces and aims to be a leading force in U.S. musical theater. Since its inception, the Theatre has produced 59 world premiere works—including 19 new musical commissions—and is home to the single largest musical theater commissioning project in the United States, The American Musical Voices Project. Attracting talent from the DC metropolitan region and New York, Signature has grown to reach more than 100,000 people annually from the Washington, DC region and beyond. Signature has won 134 Helen Hayes Awards for excellence in the Washington, DC region’s professional theater and has been honored with 452 nominations.
