SEASON FOURTEEN 10 Plays. Two Cities. One Triad Stage.

Fresh off our Lucky 13th Season, Triad Stage is thrilled with the future’s possibilities. We have never been the kind of people to settle for the way things are, so we’re taking bigger chances, making better theater and daring aspirationally to bring together great stories, bold design and world-class acting with TEN PLAYS, TWO CITIES and ONE TRIAD STAGE. The journey from our very first opening night to the beginning of our teenage years today has been an incredible adventure.

Triad Stage plays a starring role in revitalizing our historic city centers, creating jobs and bringing artists and audiences to Greensboro and Winston-Salem to witness firsthand the Triad we are proud to call home.

Because of you — your continued support and encouragement — Triad Stage is here to stay. Whether you are a donor, a Season Passholder, or a single ticket buyer, we thank you for being a part of our Triad-wide family.

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 downtown 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.

Hanesbrands Theatre, Winston-Salem

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 New York Drama League. Triad Stage has been voted the Triad’s “Best Live Theater” by the readers of the News & Record’s Go Triad 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.

from the Director:

PRESTON LANE

I don’t like small plays. The economics of making theater in America force playwrights to create smaller and smaller stories to appeal to companies who are consistently strapped for cash. And the end result is often a kind of sit-com theater that would be more at home on the television screen.

The classics of the theater sprawled across the stage, creating worlds of imagination with huge casts and enormous theatricality. Of course few theaters can afford the kind of cast sizes of Shakespeare or the golden age of Broadway.

But every so often a playwright manages the seemingly impossible: a small cast drama with a single and simple set that explodes the realism of contemporary theater and grapples with the big, existential questions that make great art.

I’ve had the privilege of directing several plays like that — Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Tennessee Williams’ Kingdom of Earth, and Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker. All three start in a room with a only a few actors. By the end of the evening, they have exploded past the realistic trappings of everyday life to rattle our cages and provoke questions to keep us exploring long after the final curtain.

Amazingly — with only one actor, a box of scraps, and a few pieces of 20th century technology — Glen Berger manages to do the same thing with Underneath the Lintel. One-person shows are so often the awkward attempt at telling the biography of a famous person. But Berger’s play is a vastly entertaining and thrillingly thought-provoking ride that starts in the crumbling ruins of an old theater but rapidly whirls us on a journey across time and space, hurtling us into the heart of metaphysical mystery and reminding us that the most daring of all human actions is to create.

I’m so thrilled to be returning to the Hanesbrands Theatre and Winston-Salem.

I’m also delighted to welcome you to this odd and wonderful story. Myth, history, religion, philosophy, and good old-fashioned fun are at the heart of this extraordinary play. I hope you will enjoy. And I hope you will take the time to be an ambassador for Triad Stage and live theater in Winston-Salem by telling family, friends, and strangers to join us for our second season.

Spend the holidays at HANESBRANDS THEATRE! A CHRISTMAS CAROL a holiday classic WRITTEN BY CHARLES DICKENS ADAPTED BY PRESTON LANE DIRECTED BY BRYAN CONGER

December 3-21, 2014

“This A Christmas Carol is a fantastical blend of technical wizardry and traditional storytelling that is a holiday feast for the senses.”

about the playwright : Glen Berger is an American playwright and Virginia native. Born into a Jewish family, he turned away from Judaism after bar mitzvah age. It was through klezmer music that he eventually rediscovered his faith as an adult. He says, “It was the thing I had been distancing myself from. I realized if I have issues with Judaism from a purely religious standpoint, maybe esthetically on a deep level I can come in the back door again.” It was also in that music that he found the beginnings of Underneath the Lintel.

GLEN BERGER

Berger launched his playwriting career as a member of Annex Theatre in Seattle, but after hitting a rough patch in 1999, he found himself back living with his parents and feeling quite depressed. It was then that he began to search out a certain type of music that was in his head but he had not been able to name. He felt that if he could just find the right piece it would make everything better.

He bought all sorts of music — from Gypsy music to Balkan accordion music — but nothing fit the sound he had in his mind. He finally went into a shop and found a tape by Dave Tarras, a klezmer clarinet virtuoso in the 1920s and 30s. He describes the discovery as “being hit by a truck.” It was in this slightly depressing music that the voice of the Librarian began to speak to him.

Around the same time, a friend who was curating the Yale Cabaret got in contact asking him if he had a play that they could produce. Berger said yes, and in four weeks’ time, he had written the first draft of Underneath the Lintel. He starred in the first production that played for three nights in August of 1999. The play was then produced in 2001 by The Actor’s Gang in Los Angeles and had its Off-Broadway premiere at Soho Rep later that same year. The play went on to show over 450 performances there and was named one of Time Out New York's Ten Best Plays of 2001. It has been produced in over 55 cities in 8 countries, including several Jewish theater companies, and has received numerous awards and accolades.

In Underneath the Lintel, Berger uses the journey of one librarian to reflect our own journeys, beliefs, decisions, and existence. In an interview about the creation of the play Berger said, “more and more in my writing I’ve been trying to figure out how to encompass a large amount of time, how to get the proper scale of history and the universe. It’s been clearer and clearer to me that we can’t really get an understanding of the state of things until we’ve heard the perspective of how big the universe is, how old the earth is, and how long life has been around.” For Berger, we all are small parts of something big and complicated, but “underneath the lintel is where each of us stands every day, every moment, of our life” and it is there that the most significant moments occur.

program notes by BRYAN CONGER

Quotes from the Playwright’s afterword ...

A spot of grocery shopping, a few diapers changed, dinner, a chat on the phone, a shower, a shave, and an arduous mission retrieving a small round dog toy from under the couch — that has been my day today, and all in all, little to write home about, certainly nothing demanding deep consideration, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing strange. That is, if it weren’t for three incontrovertible Facts: 1. The universe contains well over 500,000,000,000 galaxies, with each galaxy containing over 1,000,000,000,000 stars, of which, our vast, blazing and life-bestowing sun...is one.

2. The Earth is 4,600,000,000 years old, in which time, from the Pre-Cambrian Era to the Present — a dizzying, terrifying number of inhabitants — amoebas and trilobites, dust mites and Neanderthals — have all struggled to live from one hour to the next. (Indeed, more living creatures are in my stomach [and yours] at this moment than the total number of human beings that have ever existed.)

3. I will die. I will be dead in sixty years, though it’s entirely conceivable that I’ll be dead before the week is out.

And suddenly all the props holding up my warm and secure little existence are kicked away and used for kindling.

The fact that we die is a great fat conundrum, and it will continue to be a conundrum for me until...well until I die. …what do we do with the fact that because we only live our lives once, a single event, or a single mistake, can send our lives into a wholly unanticipated and undesired direction?

On one end of a spectrum is Coincidence, on the other end Profound Serendipity. The only difference between the two is how much meaning we choose to ascribe to a particular event.

“Still, we’ll proceed,” the LIBRARIAN says over and again, somehow we’ll proceed, we haven’t a choice, and perhaps such a sentiment has somehow driven the evolution of humanity itself, in tiny steps. Oh yes, we’ll often go sideways or backwards, but continue we will, and perhaps “there is joy, too, in that.”

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.
