by Broadway Black! “Raw, blistering, hilarious, and engaging” (The Chicago Sun-Times), BLKS follows three twenty-something Black women trying to find intimacy and purpose in a city that doesn’t seem to care about them.

In the wake of a serious health scare, Octavia recruits her besties June and Imani to join her for one last epic night on the town. But as the evening unfolds, a string of increasingly wild adventures tests their friendship in this raucous comedy of misbehavior that explores the joy and anguish of growing up and out.

New York Times Critic’s Pick! Boasting critically acclaimed, sold-out runs in both London and New York, People, Places & Things is an exhilarating new play about surviving in the modern world. The story focuses on Emma, a thirty-something actress who thinks she is having the time of her life, until she finds herself in rehab. Her first step is to admit that she has a problem. But the problem isn’t with Emma; it’s with everyone else. And when intoxication feels like the only way to survive, how can she ever sober up?

2019 Olivier Award Winner for Best Play! Interweaving lives and spanning generations, The Inheritance brilliantly transposes E.M. Forster’s novel Howards End to the 21st century New York. A generation after the peak of the AIDS crisis, what is it like to be a young gay man in New York? What do they owe to future generations and each other? Award-winning playwright Matthew Lopez explores these and many other profound themes through the turbulent and often hilarious experiences of a group of young, ambitious New Yorkers in a work that has been hailed as “perhaps the most important American play of the century so far.” (The Telegraph – UK)

INSIDE SPEAKEASY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

PAUL DAIGNEAULT BOARD OF DIRECTORS Michael Appell Alex Baker Cathy Cotton Paul Daigneault, President Danné Davis Kerry A. Dowling Jonathan Dyer Andrew Fullem, Chair Constance Gist Guindo Susan Irvings Suzette Martin Peter Palladino Joey Riddle Nancy Roberts Alejandro Simoes Ann Teixeira Clea Winneg

Why did you decide to start your season with The Sound Inside?

I always look for plays that are thought-provoking and smart – and, to be honest, I don’t think I’ve read a smarter play in some time. I also liked the play’s twists and turns; The Sound Inside is a captivating mystery that kept surprising me at every turn. On a more practical level, it also seemed wise to start off with a smaller project, to both help us get our groove back, and aid us in navigating this new world in which we found ourselves producing theatre. But I think the real reason I connected with this play is its themes around loneliness and connection, which is something I think we have all grappled with in the past eighteen months.

What is it like to finally return to producing live theatre?

There really are no words. When we shut down on March 12, 2020, I had no idea what lay ahead, or when we might return. Weeks turned into months; but, thanks to the generous support of you, our patrons and donors, I knew we would be okay. However, there is one thing that the pandemic forever solidified for me, and that is the irreproducible magic of live theatre. No matter how many TV shows I streamed or binged – and there were some really good ones – nothing compares to the power of theatre to transfix, inspire, and transform. So welcome back; and thank you, from the bottom of my heart. It is so good to be back, and to be here with you.

DIRECTOR

BRYN BOICE

Why attracted you to this project?

Whenever I consider directing a piece, I always ask the questions: "Why this play?" and "Why now?". And as we come back together as a profession and as a society, the kind of work I want to see and work on needs to be deeply compelling and highly theatrical. Otherwise it’s just TV; and I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve watched to the end of the internet. This play ticked all of the right boxes for me.

It has intelligence, it has mystery, and is intensely intimate, deeply moving, and darkly funny.

What was it like to rehearse this play during the pandemic?

It was a breath of fresh air (masked of course, and pun intended!)

Honestly, it was odd at first to be checked in every day and get our temperatures taken, and to try to direct in a mask when, well, I guess I use my face a lot? But after a couple of days, I didn't think about it; and I was just so completely happy to get back to the work!

It feels like we’re helping to jump start the entire art form.

What do you hope that audiences take away after seeing The Sound Inside?

On a macro level, I hope that this play reminds people of the power of this art form, and how we need to support it and attend it for it to live. As for the play, I hope that our audiences see a little of themselves in these characters, and it reminds them that, when we see something special in another person, we should reach out. We have no idea who our angels are going to be.

EQUITY & ANTI-RACISM AT SPEAKEASY Dear SpeakEasy family, On our stage and throughout our programming, we tell stories that invite us to understand ourselves and the world around us more deeply; to uplift the voices of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, economic statuses, and abilities; and envision the changes we wish to see in our society.

We acknowledge that this alone is not enough, and that we must actively and deliberately reduce harm and combat systemic oppression in all forms, both on and off our stage.

We encourage you to explore SpeakEasy’s Equity & Anti-Racism Action Plan, the culmination of vital and deliberate work to examine our own inequitable practices and complicity in systemic racism and systems of oppression that are based on ethnicity, gender, economic status, and ability.

This specific and detailed action plan is a living, breathing document that will evolve as our learning evolves and as the environment around us continues to change. We will hold ourselves accountable to this work, and we expect that you will, too. To read the plan in its entirety, please visit www.SpeakEasyStage.com/SEARAP. Everyone who enters our theater plays a role in curating the inclusive, respectful, and accessible environment for which we strive. As such, we expect our artists, patrons, board members, and staff to comply with our Community Expectations, including but not limited to: • Respecting all cultural backgrounds and identities.

• Understanding each individual’s right to be at the theater and enjoy it in their own way while being mindful of those around them.

• Showing appreciation for the facility and those working within it.

Thank you for your support and participation. I know that together, we can build a more equitable, just, and inclusive community where everyone can thrive.

Sincerely,

Paul Daigneault Producing Artistic Director If you have any questions about the Equity and Anti-Racism at SpeakEasy, or want to speak to a team member about your experience at the theater, please email Community Programs Manager Alex Lonati at alexlonati@speakeasystage.com.

Our Land Acknowledgment SpeakEasy Stage Company is built on the power of storytelling and the transformative way the arts can be used to amplify voices of those historically silenced. In that spirit, we would like to acknowledge that SpeakEasy Stage and the Calderwood Pavilion, which we call our artistic home, reside on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Massachusett people, whose name was appropriated by this Commonwealth. We pay respect to the Massachusett elders past and present and recognize the truth of violence perpetrated in the name of this country. We commit to educating ourselves about the stories of indigenous people and to uplift the voices of those who have been left out of the conversation. We encourage you to learn more about the Massachusett people, their history and their living traditions at MassachusettTribe.org.

Learn more about what a land acknowledgement is and find more resources on our website.

new material that we couldn’t get to last summer. I honestly never thought the play would have this kind of life. I didn’t anticipate the Broadway premiere at all. I got to the point in my career where I accepted that this level of exposure as a playwright wouldn’t happen for me.

BI: How does it feel to be making your Broadway debut as a writer?

AR: It’s incredibly exciting. I’m used to a few hundred people at a time, or 99, or sometimes even fewer than that, seeing my work. The fact that we’ll be playing in a house that seats over 1,000 is wild. It makes me feel like I’m starting all over, like I’m in my early twenties again and walking around Manhattan with fresh legs.

BI: The Sound Inside was well received [in Summer 2018] at Williamstown. Has the play evolved since then?

AR: Nothing structurally has changed, but we’ve worked hard on deepening Bella and Christopher’s connection throughout so that the big ask in the play feels appropriately earned. Some of the smaller moments are richer and sharper, and, in a few cases, a little uglier, but nothing major has changed.

AN INTERVIEW WITH PLAYWRIGHT ADAM RAPP Broadway Inbound: What are your plays before they are plays? Do they start off as an image, a question, a character?

Adam Rapp: Often I’ll think about an arrangement of people in a room that either frightens or intrigues me in some way. Sometimes that room isn’t necessarily a room; it could be a void or a forest or the edge of a river. If I can’t shake it — if the thing keeps haunting me — then I start musing about the people who won’t leave this space, what they want from each other, what’s at stake, and all of that.

BI: Who is The Sound Inside for? Who do you most hope sees this play?

AR: My obvious answer is that I’d like to think that college kids and the parents of those kids could see the play. But beyond demographics, the play is really about loneliness, how for many of us, we arrive at these moments in our lives when we might realize that we don’t have much of a support system. How isolation can lead to darkness. I hope that anyone who has gone through those seasons in their life and who happens to also be interested in the theatre will find this play.

BI: What advice do you have for aspiring playwrights?

AR: Write about what scares you.

BI: What was that for The Sound Inside?

AR: I was thinking about two extremely lonely people sitting across from each other at the table of a small eat-in kitchen and one of them wanted very badly to disappear. I didn’t know which one wanted this. What I did know was that the two characters were a middle-aged professor and one of her young students.

BI: What’s it like taking a script from the page to Broadway?

AR: It’s actually been a rigorous and faithful extension of the work we did at Williamstown. Director David Cromer and I always thought of that production as a draft of the play. A lot was accomplished, but we simply ran out of time. These past weeks have given us an opportunity to deepen moments, make trims, and find 16
