A LETTER FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dear friends, We are delighted to welcome you to Vineyard Theatre and to the world-premiere of John J. Caswell, Jr.’s Scene Partners. John was the recipient in 2020 of our Paula Vogel Playwriting Award, which recognizes an exceptionally talented early-career writer each season with an artistic residency and resources to develop their work. The following year he shared the first draft of Scene Partners with us. We knew we had to produce it from the first time we read it. At a time when theatres were shuttered due to the pandemic, this wildly imaginative and deeply moving story of a woman determined to live out her dreams, reminded us of all that is possible in the theatre. John writes plays that, on one hand, are grounded in realism — they take place in living rooms, basements, bedrooms, coffee shops — but these same plays also possess a theatricality that knows no bounds, a permeable membrane between what we might call reality, and the world of the imagination, the supernatural, the subconscious. We couldn’t have asked for a greater group of collaborators with whom to bring Scene Partners to life, from our visionary and Tony Award-winning director Rachel Chavkin, to our brilliant design team, to our dream cast: led by two-time Academy Award-winner Dianne Wiest as Meryl in her Vineyard debut, Eric Berryman, Johanna Day, Josh Hamilton, Carmen M. Herlihy, and Kristin Sieh. We hope you’ll join us later this season for the NYC premiere of Sarah Gancher’s Russian Troll Farm: A Workplace Comedy, directed by Tony Award-winner Darko Tresnjak. This spring, we’ll bring audiences closer to the artistic development process that is at the heart of what we do, sharing works-in-progress by our 2023-24 resident artists including Shayok Misha Choudhury, Mara Nelson-Greenberg, Nazareth Hassan, a.k. payne, and more. On behalf of all of us at the Vineyard, including my fellow artistic director Douglas Aibel who is on sabbatical this season, we are grateful that you are part of our Vineyard community, and hope you enjoy the adventure of Scene Partners!
Warmly,
SARAH STERN
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
A LETTER FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT We make things up in life otherwise there’d be nothing there. We write and perform instantly our next line of dialogue and call it a conversation. We create homes and dress the sets on which we perform our most intimate scenes. We are inherently creative by necessity of survival. We adapt to our story’s circumstances when possible, crumble to the ground when we can’t, and often die at the hands of bad actors who think only of their own flawed characters. We, some of us, survive long enough to leaf through the lengthy draft of our many years and feel a sense of satisfaction, dismay, or both. Some will wish the writing were better, the payoff greater, perhaps a little less pain. We may not be able to go back and revise, but we still can dream. And occasionally those dreams become the beginning of a brand new script.
“Life is a play that does not allow testing. So, sing, cry, dance, laugh, and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause.” — Charlie Chaplin

ABOUT THE VINEYARD VINEYARD THEATRE develops and produces new plays and musicals that push the boundaries of what theatre can be and do. For 40 years, The Vineyard has nurtured a community of fearless theatre makers whose work has expanded the form, the field, and the larger culture. Vineyard Theatre has transferred eleven shows to Broadway, seven directly after their acclaimed Vineyard premieres: Lucas Hnath’s Dana H. and Tina Satter’s Is This A Room (both New York Times Best Theatre of 2021); Paula Vogel’s Indecent; Nicky Silver’s The Lyons; Kander, Ebb and Thompson’s The Scottsboro Boys; Bell and Bowen’s [title of show]; and Avenue Q by Marx, Lopez and Whitty (Tony Award, Best Musical). In recent years, four additional shows launched at The Vineyard have been revived in their first Broadway productions: Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning How I Learned to Drive; Lanie Robertson’s Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar And Grill; Becky Mode’s Fully Committed; and Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Three Tall Women.

Our Good Neighbor Program is dedicated to providing low-cost or free tickets to students, artists, and any New Yorker for whom cost may be a barrier to seeing our productions. Donations to the Good Neighbor Program support a number of initiatives that provide thousands of accessible tickets to New Yorkers each season. With the help of donors like you, we are able to push the boundaries not only of what theatre can be and do, but who has access to it.

Steve likes Masha; Masha likes Nikolai; and Egor just wants to win a microwave. It’s another day at the office for the workers of St. Petersburg’s infamous (real-life) Internet Research Agency, whose job is manipulating social media to advance Russia’s agenda at home and abroad. Set in the lead-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, office comedy meets political satire in Sarah Gancher’s shape-shifting examination of the power, seduction, and danger of a good story. A New York Times Critic’s Pick in its acclaimed online version, the NYC premiere is directed by Tony Award® winner Darko Tresnjak (A Gentleman’s Guide to
Love and Murder).
