FROM THE DIRECTOR JANE E. UNGER I consider myself one of the lucky ones who had the joyous experience of seeing the original Broadway production of Crimes of the Heart in 1981.

Returning to it now, thirty-four years later, is like rediscovering an old friend.

I am delighted but not at all surprised to see how the material transcends its era. In the 1980’s when the play premiered in New York, it was startling to hear three strong, vibrant and young women speaking out loud to each other with the bold candor we reserve for our closest family members. At that time, the notion of women ‘finding their voice’ was still a novelty. But the Magrath sisters of the 1970’s could easily be the Magrath sisters of 2015 because their voices are deeply grounded in emotional truths and their secrets, their passions, their ‘crimes of the heart’, if you will, are universal and alive in today’s world.

It is a family story of three sisters, abandoned by their parents, and the triumph of their love for one another despite the chasms of difference between each of the three of them. Our families are the people we do not choose to have in our lives but who are given to us to love, to defend and for whom we take responsibility, like it or not. We may not always like them, but we love them and are bound to them. They are often people who, if they were not our family, we might not know or befriend them. They are also the people who manage to push our buttons, anger us and likewise comfort us in ways no one else can. They can also be our most ardent cheerleaders.

In thinking back on that original production of Crimes of the Heart, I don’t remember any one thing in particular. What I do remember is the feeling of a very deep, warm glow generated on that stage and in the theatre that night. In fact, what I remember is very much what the character of Lenny wishes for. I keep that memory and Lenny’s wish close as I invite you to experience the singular power of this play.

FOR BETH HENLEY the places she inhabited have always had a tremendous impact on her writing.

Whether it is in the Deep South or the Great Western frontier, these lands have whispered their magic in her ear as she created her quirky, dark characters and their complex and often times brutal relationships.

Henley was born on May 8, 1952 in Jackson, Mississippi to Charles Boyce Henley and Elizabeth Josephine Henley. The second oldest of four daughters, she was constantly around and influenced by women. Her mother, a wellknown community theatre actress in Jackson, introduced a shy and reclusive young Beth to theater and all its wonder. It was there that she found sanctuary and where her love affair with plays began. After graduating high school in 1970, Henley attended Southern Methodist University as a theatre major specializing in acting, but began to see the desperate need for women’s roles onstage and turned to writing. For Crimes of the Heart, her first full-length play, Henley returned to the place she grew up—Mississippi. She says, “It’s always inspiring to go home, simply because people are such good storytellers. I don’t know if it’s my family particularly, but they always inspire me because they’ve always got so much life going on around them.”

The play premiered at Actor’s Theatre of Louisville with subsequent productions off Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club and then on Broadway in 1981. The play won the Pulitzer Prize in 1981 and was followed by the film adaptation in 1986 for which Henley was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

At 31 the young Henley was an overnight sensation with theatre critics, practitioners, and audiences eagerly awaiting her next play. They didn’t have to wait long with the premiere of The Miss Firecracker Contest in 1980, a play in which Henley once again set in her home state of Mississippi. For the next decade Henley continued 12

to write plays including The Wake of Jamey Foster, The Debutante Ball, and The Lucky Spot. Henley, often compared to Eudora Welty and Flannery O’Connor, continued to grapple with the absurdity and grotesqueness of daily existence in the South. However, in 1989 she turned away from away from the South and set her eyes to another place that helped shape her as an artist—the West.

In the summer of 1976, Henley moved with friends to Los Angeles to make it big in the film industry but like so many others she found that it could be a cold, hard place for an aspiring actress. However, it was there that she began to write and the California spirit infused her writing. Henley says, “I think I was dealing with what happens with people’s dreams in Abundance—how people come out to California so full of hope to be an actress or to be in movies and slowly they find themselves working at Chicken Bob’s, or they want to be great novelists and they’re trying to write bad TV scripts. How do your dreams get chipped away?”

It was also at this time Henley picked up Wisconsin Death Trip, a book about the grim and desperate realities of the Western settlers and found the time and place for Abundance. Commissioned by South Coast Repertory Theater, Henley took five years to research nineteenth-century frontier life before writing the play.

She departed from her normal aesthetic with an epic form using a large sweeping landscape, spanning a twenty five year period. The play had its Off Broadway debut in 1990 with Frank Rich of the New York Times calling it Henley’s “most provocative play in years.”

With its core value of a commitment to fostering a unique southern voice, Triad Stage is thrilled to present Crimes of the Heart and Abundance.

These plays represent two distinct periods in Beth Henley’s life and career. However, one thing remains constant in both plays—the women. From 1970’s Mississippi to 1860’s Wyoming, it is the female voice that we hear and women’s stories that Henley explores with complexity and unabashed honesty.

Triad Stage began as a dream...

Co-founders Preston Lane and Richard Whittington forged their artistic partnership as graduate students at the Yale School of Drama. After managing a theater in Connecticut for two years, they undertook the three-year task of opening their own theater in the heart of historic Greensboro.

In September 1999, Triad Stage purchased the former Montgomery Ward building, which had been built in 1936 and sat vacant for almost 40 years. Renovations transformed the five-story building into a world-class theater center now called The Pyrle Theater, complete with a 300-seat theater and thrust stage, rehearsal hall, offices, two spacious lobbies and other audience amenities.

The Grand Opening took place in January 2002 with Tennessee Williams’ modern classic Suddenly Last Summer.

In 2008, Triad Stage finished a second round of renovations to The Pyrle. A scene shop annex was added in the basement. The top floor underwent major construction to create the 90-seat UpStage Cabaret performance space, the Sloan Rehearsal Hall, and the studio and office facilities of WUNC Public Radio’s new Greensboro Bureau.

In 2011, Triad Stage purchased a 30,000 square foot building near the Greensboro Coliseum Complex to serve as the theater’s new production facility, relocating its scene, costume and properties shops as well as its warehouse.

In 2013, with significant support from The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, Triad Stage announced a major expansion of programming to be produced at the Hanesbrands Theatre in downtown Winston-Salem.

Now in its 14th season, Triad Stage has over 3,000 Season Passholders and more than 400 annual donors. The company has received accolades on national, state and local levels, including being named “One of the 10 Most Promising Emerging Theatre Companies” by the American Theatre Wing and “One of the Best Regional Theaters in America” by the Drama League of New York.

Triad Stage has been voted the Triad’s “Best Live Theater” by the readers of the News & Record’s GoTriad ten years in a row and named “Professional Theatre of the Year” by the North Carolina Theatre Conference in 2003 and 2011. Its production of Tobacco Road was listed among the “Best of 2007” by The Wall Street Journal, its production of The Glass Menagerie was named “Best North Carolina Production of 2010” by Triangle Arts & Entertainment, and 2012’s production of Reynolds Price’s New Music trilogy was named among the “Best Productions” of the year in Triangle Theatre by Independent Weekly.

Core Values Triad Stage is guided by core values that inspire all aspects of our operations. These core values are a daily reminder to our entire company of why and how we produce theater for our community.

EXCELLENCE

INCLUSION

We strive for bold, daring excellence in all of our endeavors as we seek to create professional theater with regional and national impact.

Our community’s varied diversity must not only reflect itself in Triad Stage’s casting and staffing, but also in the selection of the stories we choose to tell.

COLLABORATION

ARTISTIC RISK

We celebrate and encourage an artistic process rooted in collaboration. We seek to mirror this process in all aspects of our operations and actively seek partnerships with other organizations to benefit the well-being of our communities.

Striving to constantly challenge ourselves, we reserve the right to take artistic risks and make mistakes.

IMAGINATION

REJUVENATION

Triad Stage delights in the imaginative process. We uphold freedom of expression as indispensable to the power of imagination.

We are committed to revitalizing our historic downtowns by greatly enhancing the cultural life of the Piedmont Triad through entertainment and by providing an economic impact benefiting other area businesses.

COMMUNITY

A SOUTHERN VOICE

As individuals are united in their shared experience of the theatrical event, strangers become friends, common ground is discovered, and dialogue begins.

In imagining the lives of others, our capacity for empathy is strengthened.

By placing the best of Southern writing in juxtaposition with classic and contemporary world drama, we foster a unique Southern voice, allowing our audience the pride of saying, “This theater is ours.”

LEARNING

NORTH CAROLINA

Theater is a valuable part of a lifetime of learning. Our work and the dialogue it creates should spark curiosity and inspire creative ways of thinking for our artists, staff and audience.

We seek to play a leading role in the North Carolina arts community. We actively work to create an artistic home for artists with North Carolina connections and to provide a bridge to the profession for emerging artists.

Pyrle Gibson (1909-2000) was a woman with a

great sense of humor, who found goodness in all people and beauty in the world around her. Her family always came first in her life and with them she shared her love of theater, music and the thrill of sports. The theater is named for her in loving memory by the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Kaplan family with whom she shared her love, wisdom and joy of life.

I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum.

That’s why I chose Well•Spring.

In those days I kept time with a baton.

Now I choose the paintbrush, inspired by the beauty that surrounds me in nature, friends and family.

I’m painting my masterpiece and living retirement in my own style at Well•Spring.
