Director’s NotesReflections on GreenStage and this Play

The first four weeks we earnestly rehearseda production of Hamlet. A week ago I finallymade a directorial decision. I decided to doThe Man Who Came to Dinner instead. It will bemost interesting to see how this organizationadapts to change. But why should you care? Imean, how much did you pay for the ticketsanyway? But seriously, The Man Who Came toDinner is an American comedy classic whichreveals what is great and what is silly aboutAmerica. We are free to speak our minds, freeto love whom we choose, and we have thefreedom to manipulate & be manipulated. In atime in which we might be taking ourselves alittle too seriously, I hope that you will exerciseyour inalienable right to laugh and have funduring this performance of The Man Who Cameto Dinner. Best of all, it’s free.

- RWT

Grotowski wrote a book Towards a PoorTheatre; Peter Brooke wrote a book about anEmpty Space; the producers of this play—GreenStage—are directing their energiestowards free theatre. Five of the guilty culpritsof this noble enterprise are Amelia Meckler,Peter Burford, Ken Holmes, David Dodge, &Patricia Bustos. I hope that in the court of publicopinion they will be judged as saints, becausethat is what they are! For fifteen years,GreenStage has brought works of great literaryart to the stage–for free. In an increasinglycapitalistic society, these dedicated people aredoing something extraordinarily worthwhilejust for the truth and love of it. There are somepeople who believe that America is still theland of the free. I would also like to thankthese same people for taking a chance on meto direct this play. Now that they realize whata wacko I am, I am sure they will not repeatthat mistake; after all, nobody is perfect.

Cast Biographies (continued)

Page 7: By George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart

Roger Tompkins (Director)I only have 100 words to write this bio. I just usedup nine. Oops, make that 14...18...now its 23. Illjust let you count. Anyway, after 30 plus yearsdoing theatre, movies and commercials, 100 wordsgets shorter every bio, but the old age makeup getseasier to put on. However, that’s all in the past, andthere is no sense in living in the past because thereis no future in it. What is important is the presentand your presence in it at this time. Theatre needsyour presence. Thank you. 98?

Peter Burford (Set Design)Peter directed the first two of GreenStage’s AmericanClassics: A Touch of the Poet and The Night of theIguana. He’s glad to be working on number threewith so many fun and funny people. Peter recentlyreceived a brief glimmer of attention when hisBush-in-30-Seconds video contest entry“Amerigone” was featured in a New York Timesarticle. The video then went on to lose the contest.Oh well. Other than theatre, Peter enjoys traveling,scuba diving, photography, computers, and games.Hi Alice!

Mary E. Cannon (Stage Manager)Mary did the dance of joy when she was asked tocome & play in the park with GreenStage again(though it’s awfully nice to have an indoor venueto play in right now). When she’s not herding catsfor various local theaters, Mary can be foundreducing the chaos from the cello section of thePuget Sound Symphony Orchestra or runningsound for Seattle band Ala Zingara. Thanks go to afantastic cast & crew (for being fantastic), to Roger,Ken & Steph for uncountable helps, to M.E. & D. formaking it all possible, and to Alan & the PSSOers forholding the fort.

Steve Cooper (Lighting Design)This is Steve’s second design for GreenStage, alsolighting last year’s Night of the Iguana, and he isexcited to be working with this talented companyagain. Past, Present and Future projects keepinghim off the street at night include stage managingfor Exchange Theatre, Sex in Seattle and Next Step;designing lighting and sets for Theatre Under theInfluence and the Everett Theatre Society. Look for

Production Team Biographieshim behind the scenes in An Inspector Calls thisFebruary at the Meydenbauer and this Springlighting Nanawatai! at the Union Garage.

Ken Holmes (Production Manager)Ken has been playing with GreenStage for years. Inthe past decade he has explored over half ofShakespeare’s canon with the company as an actor,director and production manager. He has alsoworked with several other theaters in town,including Seattle Shakespeare Company, SeattleRepertory Theatre, ArtsWest, Theater Schmeater,Stepping Stone Productions, Centerstage, andNorthern Lights Productions (now Gael ForceTheatre). Ken has just recently stepped into hisnewest role: husband to his wonderful wife Lisa.

Jeanne MacKenzie (Costume Design)For all you faithful followers of GreenStage, the lasttime you would have seen Jeanne’s costumes wasin last summer’s The Merry Wives of Windsor.However, you must now leave the Shakespeare era,strap into your time machines, and gear them up400 years. She hopes you enjoy the costumes ofthis time period as well.

Stephanie Watson (Assistant Stage Manager)Stephanie is still trying to figure out if this is herthird or second season with GreenStage, but this isdefinitely her most intensive involvement as a first-time Assistant Stage Manager. It’s been exhaustingbut fun, but she’s glad she said yes to the job.

Angela Ziska (Properties)Angela has twice been involved in productions thatwon “Best of The Fringe” at the Seattle FringeFestival. She house managed at Northwest PuppetCenter for six seasons and did props for The Habitfor the last five years. While this show is ‘propheavy’ nobody is asking her to bake broccolibrownies or create a superhero’s superendowment.This is her first show with GreenStage and she isthankful for the opportunity to work with thiscompany. She is especially thankful for the ‘opencomp’ policy. She thanks Liberty and Sascha forputting up with their mother. Thanks also Tim,Heidi & Jordan.

number of mistresses, twenty orgasms forMary Astor (according to her diary), and threeMarx Brothers movies. James Thurber calledhim “the man who was comedy.” GrouchoMarx called him his God. One of Kaufman’sthird act lines in A Night at the Opera was sofunny that it had to be removed so previewaudiences could hear the rest of the movie.

Moss Hart(1904–1961)In his book Act One MossHart cronicles the produc-tion of his first importantplay, Once in a Lifetime(1930), which marked thebeginning of a longcollaboration with GeorgeS. Kaufman. Among their

other successful comedies are Merrily We RollAlong (1934), You Can’t Take It with You (1936;Pulitzer Prize), I’d Rather Be Right (1937,written with George M. Cohan), and GeorgeWashington Slept Here (1940). Hart alsocollaborated on musicals with Irving Berlinand Cole Porter, and his most successfulmusical, Lady in the Dark (1941), was writtenwith Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin. Among hissolo plays, produced between 1941 and 1952,are Winged Victory, Christopher Blake, LightUp the Sky, and The Climate of Eden. Hart alsodirected several 1940s film comedies anddirected the long running Broadway musicalhit My Fair Lady.

GreenStage has been performing in the Seattle area since 1989.In the past fifteen years we have presented thirty-six productionsof thirty-one plays, including twenty-three of the plays inShakespeare’s canon. We’ll let you do the math. Our season in-cludes two outdoor touring Shakespeare in the Park productionseach summer, which have become a tradition for many and are

seen by thousands of area residents and visitors. Since 1995, GreenStage has mounted at least oneindoor production each season. These productions have included classics by Shakespeare and BenJonson, as well as new works presented at the Seattle Fringe Theatre Festival. With the help of theSeattle Department of Parks and Recreation and Sand Point Magnuson Park we have been able to bringto life our critically acclaimed American Classics Series.
