The National Theatre of Scotland’s production of

Hurtling from a pool room in Scotland to an armored wagon in Iraq, Black Watch is based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who served in Iraq. Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch reveals what it means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it means to be part of the war on terror and what it means to make the journey home again. John Tiffany’s production from the National Theatre of Scotland makes powerful and inventive use of movement and music to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.

This production of Black Watch launches its U.S. tour at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, having played to universal acclaim in Australia, New Zealand, London, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Edinburgh and more.

Cymbeline marks the return of director Rebecca Bayla Taichman, whose recent Twelfth Night was “gorgeously romantic… as brand new as a first kiss” (The

Downtowner), and whose The Taming of the Shrew found “a satisfying quantity of heart in a play that can be made to seem merely playful” (Washington City Paper). The Shakespeare Theatre Company premiere of Cymbeline follows Imogen on her search for reconciliation against the backdrop of a colorful and magical journey. Forbidden love, mistaken identities, banishment and a magic potion—Shakespeare combines multiple styles in this endlessly inventive fairy tale.

Candide has become a theatrical classic, but like its title character, it has navigated a long and surprising journey to achieve that status. It is the result of the collaboration across centuries between two iconoclastic artists: the French writer known as Voltaire, and the American composer Leonard Bernstein. Both combined the instincts of showman and philosopher to create a work that entertains even as it takes on some of the most strongly-held human ideals.

Candide’s voyage began on a quiet Sunday in November of 1755 in Lisbon, Portugal. Most of the citizens sat peacefully in church to observe All Saints Day. Suddenly, their prayers and calm were shattered; an earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami, all but wiped one of the great cities of Europe off the map within minutes. Upon hearing news of the disaster, Voltaire took it as evidence of life’s unpredictability: “what a game of chance human life is,” he wrote to a friend. But other philosophers went further in

explaining Lisbon’s fate: the thinkers called Optimists believed that everything God did was for the best; and the English Protestant reformer John Wesley saw the deaths of so many devout Catholics as proof of “the hand of the Almighty, arising to maintain his own cause.”

Voltaire struck back as only he could. His Poem on the Destruction of Lisbon took special aim at the English writer Alexander Pope, who had declared in the 1730s that “whatever is, is right.” Would a God who intended all for the best deliberately cause so much suffering, Voltaire asked? The problem, he decided, lay not with acts of God but with the acts of humans who thought they understood his will. “Do we know all the ways of God?” he would later write in his 1763 Treatise on Tolerance. “Must every individual usurp the rights of Divinity?” His solution? “The fewer dogmas, the fewer disputes,” he declared. “And the fewer disputes, the fewer misfortunes.”

Three years later, a different kind of earthquake rocked Europe: a slim volume by a German doctor named Ralph. Immediately banned in Paris and Geneva and placed on the Vatican’s list of forbidden books, Candide became a sensation, selling thirty thousand copies in its first year alone. What made it so controversial? Candide follows the journeys of an innocent young man through a series of calamities (including the Lisbon earthquake), each of which challenges his Optimist tutor’s maxim that “all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.” But as Candide faces mostly man-made disasters, the book skewers every sacred institution in Europe: religious and political authority, marriage, war and commerce. Voltaire’s writing style and anti-dogmatic thinking were unmistakable in the work of “Doctor Ralph.”

Instead of criticizing his targets with the anger that marked his poem about Lisbon, however, Voltaire employed a surprising tactic in Candide. Calling the work his “schoolboy jest,” he used humor to ridicule the human certainty that led to so much evil. On its surface, Candide imitated the conventions of the popular romantic novels of the 1730s and 1740s; underneath that surface flowed a river of acid, burning up all pieties and dogmas that stood in its way. And Voltaire was an equal opportunity satirist, ridiculing pessimists for their rigid dogma as readily as he did optimists.

Two centuries after the earthquake, Leonard Bernstein took up Voltaire’s mantle for a new age. Candide was suggested as source material by his friend Lillian Hellman, who saw in the novel a mirror of her own experiences on the Hollywood blacklist after she refused to name names to the House

Un-American Activities Committee. But far from creating a heavy-handed political satire, Bernstein followed Voltaire’s example and wrote one of the most sublimely entertaining scores of the American musical theatre. The music brims with wit and verve, remaining refreshingly original even as it parodies other operas and musicals. It travels from aria to patter song to chorale as briskly as its characters journey from land to land. The original cast recording became a best-seller soon after its appearance in 1957, and Bernstein’s melodies have found enduring popularity in the more than fifty years since.

Candide became a labor of love for Bernstein; “there’s more of me in that piece than anything else I have ever done,” he later told a friend. He continued to revise and rearrange the piece for more than thirty years after its first appearance, completing his “final version” only two years before he died. Many talented artists have contributed to Candide along its journey, from the lyricists John Latouche, Richard Wilbur, Stephen Sondheim and Dorothy Parker, to playwrights like Hellman, Hugh Wheeler, John Caird, and now Mary Zimmerman. These writers have followed the path set by Voltaire and by Bernstein, each adding their own variation to the timeless story and music at the heart of Candide. The journey that began in 1755 continues in our time and beyond.

Voltaire

Voltaire was born François-Marie Arouet in Paris in 1694, the youngest child of François Arouet, a minor treasury official, and Marie Marguerite d’Aumart. Following a proper Jesuit education, his father sent him to study law. But the younger Arouet was determined to become a writer and soon developed a following of admirers of his audacious wit. Again father tried to steer son toward respectable employment, so François-Marie moved to the Netherlands as a secretary for the French ambassador. His father squashed an attempted elopement there and recalled François-Marie to Paris.

Arouet was welcomed into Parisian literary society, but his propensity for offending those in power quickly led to trouble. Within a year his satirical poem about the Prince Regent led to a brief exile. By the time his punishment ended, his name had been attributed to enough politically satirical works that he served a sentence in the Bastille for pieces he had not written. Upon his release, he rearranged the letters in his name “Arouet the younger” to create his famous nom de plume: Voltaire.

Known already as a poet, essayist, historian and satirist, the newly minted Voltaire established his reputation as playwright with the 1718 debut of Oedipe. He also began work on an epic poem praising France’s King Henri IV for ending civil war and for religious tolerance. Another arrest, this time for offending a young aristocrat from a powerful family, led to a two-year exile to England in 1726.

In England, Voltaire encountered the works of Isaac Newton and John Locke, whose writings would influence his work in science and philosophy. Voltaire also began Letters Concerning the English Nation, a collection of his views on the British political structure, literature and religion. Voltaire’s preference of England’s constitutional monarchy over the French system of government caused such uproar that he again fled Paris for his mistress’ home in Cirey. In this haven, Voltaire amassed a library of more than 20,000 volumes and continued to write extensively. When his mistress died in 1749, Voltaire spent time at the court of Frederick II of Prussia, whom he considered the ideal enlightened monarch. But he could not resist a literary quarrel and enraged the king by publishing a satirical pamphlet.

Voltaire’s most famous work was inspired by the devastating Lisbon earthquake of 1755—his short satirical masterpiece Candide, or Optimism (1759), which showed his growing dissatisfaction with Leibniz’s philosophy of Optimism. The philosophy’s main tenet is that everything is for the best because God is benevolent.

Voltaire’s youthful dissatisfaction with the justice system returned with a vengeance. He spent his final years as champion for those he felt unfairly punished, especially in cases of religious persecution. By his death in 1778, Voltaire’s criticisms of European civilization and organized religion had angered so many people that he was denied Christian burial. But by the time of the French Revolution, he was seen as a pioneer of the cause and his remains were reburied with great ceremony in the Panthéon.

Leonard BernsteinComposerLeonard Bernstein (August 25, 1918–October 14, 1990) was a world-renowned musician, conductor and composer throughout his entire adult life. He was Music Director of the New York Philharmonic and conducted the world’s major orchestras, recording hundreds of these performances. His books and the televised Young People’s Concerts with the New York Philharmonic established him as a leading educator. His compositions include Jeremiah, The Age of Anxiety, Kaddish, Serenade, Five Anniversaries, Mass, Chichester Psalms, Slava!, Songfest, Divertimento for Orchestra, Missa Brevis, Arias and Barcarolles, Concerto for Orchestra and A Quiet Place. Mr. Bernstein composed for the Broadway musical stage, including On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide and the immensely popular West Side Story. In addition to the West Side Story collaboration, Mr. Bernstein worked with choreographer Jerome Robbins on three major ballets: Fancy Free, Facsimile and Dybbuk.

Honoring

2127

The Shakespeare Theatre Company is proud to honor The HRH Foundation and its Executive Director, Helen Lee Henderson, with the 2010 Sidney Harman Award for Philanthropy in the Arts. The award, which was presented at the Harman Center for the Arts Annual Gala on October 3, 2010, recognizes those who believe in the essential role that the arts play in our society, the ability of the arts to transform and transcend our lives and the capacity of the arts to reflect our society—as Hamlet says, “to hold as ‘twere a mirror up to nature.”

As a Penn State University student, Helen’s grandfather founded a drum and bugle corps that grew into the Penn State Blue Band, now recognized as one of the finest marching bands in the country. Her mother, Helen Ruth Henderson, studied voice and musical composition at the Pennsylvania College for Women and was on the board of the Pittsburgh Opera and Pittsburgh Symphony.

With this family background, it is no surprise that Helen herself developed a love of the arts. She holds a BFA in Costume Design from Carnegie Mellon University and a Master’s degree in Technical Theatre from the University of Pittsburgh. Helen worked at theatres around the country, from Box Office Manager to Executive Director. She co-produced the London production of Sugar Babies with Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller and served on theatre boards up and down the East Coast.

In 1995, Helen moved to Washington, D.C. Two years later, her mother established The HRH Foundation to support the visual and performing arts. When her mother passed away, Helen became Executive Director.

Helen’s philanthropy in the arts in Washington began modestly: with a $50 membership gift to the Kennedy Center. She has gone on to support more than 15 major projects at the Kennedy Center, including the landmark Sondheim Celebration and several international festivals. Along with Adrienne Arsht, she underwrote Arts in Crisis, which provided support to arts organizations across America suffering from the economic downturn. The HRH Foundation has sponsored 19 film projects at the National Gallery of Art and has been a major underwriter at Signature Theatre, including sponsorship of many Sondheim musicals.

Helen made a modest gift to STC’s Academy for Classical Acting in 2003, followed by a very generous contribution to the Harman Center campaign. The first STC show she sponsored was Michael Kahn’s hit production of Love’s Labor’s Lost, which traveled to Stratford-upon-Avon as a part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Complete Works Festival. Next, she sponsored Richard III, one of the highlights of the Shakespeare in Washington festival. She has also sponsored the productions of As You Like It, The Imaginary Invalid and our current production of Candide.

In his 24th season with the Shakespeare Theatre Company, Artistic Director Michael Kahn, together with the Company’s artists, staff and Board of Trustees, continues to fulfill the Company’s ambition to become the country’s leading force in the presentation and preservation of classic theatre. The Shakespeare Theatre Company enjoys national and international renown as “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare company” (The Wall Street Journal) producing “a repertory of classics that no New York theatre of similar size and scale can match” (The New York Times). The Company’s noted company of classical actors regularly includes such distinguished guest artists as Jane Alexander, Elizabeth Ashley, Avery Brooks, Kathleen Chalfant, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Keir Dullea, Jonathan Hadary, Harry Hamlin, Hal Holbrook, Tom Hulce, Stacy Keach, Sabrina LeBeauf, Jean LeClerc, Judith Light, Victor Love, Marsha Mason, Kelly McGillis, Patrick Page, Jean Stapleton, Patrick Stewart, Richard Thomas, Joan van Ark, Geraint Wyn Davies and Karen Ziemba.

The 2010-2011 season features three plays by Shakespeare: All’s Well That Ends Well, Cymbeline and The Merchant of Venice. In addition, STC is producing the glittering musical Candide, Harold Pinter’s Old Times and Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. This fall we also enjoy the tremendous versatility of Sidney Harman Hall, which plays host to a variety of art forms. VelocityDC—our second annual showcase for dance –returned in October, along with the second season of NT Live, a series of performances broadcast in HD from London’s National Theatre. Live performances include The Great Game: Afghanistan, one of the most exciting works of theatre to come out of London in recent years, and Black Watch.

Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For AllStarted in 1991 to engage new and diverse audiences, the Free For All has presented free Shakespeare to approximately 575,000 area residents. Its contribution to the community has been recognized with both The Washington Post Distinguished Service Award and the Public Humanities Award from the Humanities Council of Washington, D.C. The move to Sidney Harman Hall increased the Metro-accessibility of the event, prevents weather-related cancellations and allows the Shakespeare Theatre Company to maintain the artistic integrity of Free For All productions thanks to the state-of-the-art capabilities of Sidney Harman Hall. The change in venues also allows the Company to host a variety of family-friendly events to coincide with Free For All performances. For additional information on the change, please visit ShakespeareTheatre.org.

EducationConsistent with the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s central mission—to be the leading force in producing and preserving the highest quality classic theatre—

the Education Department is positioned as both a local and national resource. We strive to deepen the understanding of, appreciation of and connection to classic theatre in diverse learners of all ages through accessible programs that celebrate multiple perspectives. The education programs of STC challenge all learners to explore the ideas, emotions and principles contained in classic texts and to discover the correlations between classic theatre and our modern perceptions. We seek to fulfill this mission through strengthening our collaborations with schools and other organizations locally and nationally, engaging in scholarly dialogue with community and audience members and increasing our use of technology. Text Alive!, a curriculum enrichment program, works with public school teachers in D.C., Virginia and Maryland to make Shakespeare and his works accessible to young audiences. ShakesPEERS, a community outreach initiative, provides a nurturing environment during non-school hours for young people from the D.C. public schools to explore their creative voices through a foundation of collaboration, craftsmanship, citizenship and community. With its broad range of programs—including Classics in the Classroom, Students for Shakespeare, Windows, Master Acting Classes, Professional Internships, SHAKESPEARIENCE, Re:ACT and Theatre History Initiative—the Company’s Education Department is an innovative and creative community resource.

Academy for Classical ActingDesigned for working actors, midstream in their careers, the Academy for Classical Acting is a one-year immersion program with an exceptional number of contact hours between students and professional faculty. Under the guidance of Michael Kahn and with an MFA degree accredited through The George Washington University, the ACA teaches actors how to integrate the emotional, physical and imaginative life of a role with the technical skills needed to express to the fullest Shakespeare’s dramatic texts as well as many other classical playwrights. During 11 months of intensive study, ACA training includes voice, speech, acting, text, mask, Alexander Technique, movement, clown and stage combat. Since 2001, ACA has graduated more than 100 actors who are now performing on stages in New York, Washington, D.C. and across the country.

Annual SupportDonors make a difference. Ticket revenue and other earned income account for just over 60 percent of the Company’s $17 million operating budget. It is only with the ongoing generous support of more than 300 corporations, foundations and public agencies—along with more than 3,000 individuals—that the Company can fulfill its mission as the nation’s leading force in producing and preserving classical theatre.

Affiliated ArtistsFor several years, the Shakespeare Theatre Company has referred to a number of its recurring actors as Company Members. These are artists to whom the theatre has made a long-term commitment because of the depth and range of their talent, and who have come to consider STC as an artistic home.

In addition to actors, there are also directors and designers to whom STC is similarly committed. These artists are also crucial to the production process, and the theatre wants to recognize their dedication to the work of STC. STC has widened its notion of “company” by crediting a select group of actors, directors and designers as Affiliated Artists.

This Affiliated Artists program renews STC’s commitment to those actors who have been the cornerstone of the theatre’s work for years, while also formally acknowledging the theatre’s relationship with other artists whose work has contributed immeasurably to the excellence of STC’s productions. The theatre is incredibly grateful to these Affiliated Artists and looks forward to continuing to produce the finest classical theatre in America with them.

Academy for Classical ActingAcademy Alumni at Work

Of the more than 100 alumni of the Academy for Classical Acting, the majority are busy working in film, television and on stages all across the country. Recently, we checked in with them to find out what they have been working on, and here are some updates from alumni in the Washington, D.C., area and beyond.

Richard Watson (’01) is currently rehearsing the world premier of Venus Flytrap off-Broadway. He will be playing George in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at American Stage this coming winter and is about to film a small role in an episode of Onion Sports Network. Richard just shot a segment of Delocated on Adult Swim and recently closed as Dr. Caius in The Merry Wives of Windsor at Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival. He also played Eli Whitney in Anything Goes at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre this past spring.

Megan Gaffney (’10) recently performed in Crossing Delancey at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in New Hampshire right after leaving school. Since returning to New York, she has appeared in Innocent Yet by Frank Boudreaux at The Little Theatre series at Dixon Place and performed in the Emerging Female Voices Playwrights Festival in the short play Mantis by Julia Pugachevsky. The festival was produced by the Manhattan Shakespeare Project. She was recently cast as Portia in Julius Caesar at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey as part of their Shakespeare Live tri-state tour.

William LeDent (’07) appeared in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s production of King Lear with Stacy Keach and Ed Gero. He also performed in STC’s Leadership Repertory productions of Henry V and Richard II. He did a staged reading of In the Flesh at Factory 449, directed by ACA alum Joel Santner (’07). He recently began rehearsals [with ACA alums Paul Hope (’01) and Daniel Flint (’09)] for Richard III at Baltimore Shakespeare Festival, playing Catesby. In addition to his stage appearances, LeDent and Joel Santner ('07) also made a short film called Bare Knuckle which can be viewed online at hstproductions.yolasite.com.

Erin Jerozal (’09) is currently playing Gertrude in the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival's tour of Hamlet. She will be traveling around Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey doing the show and teaching Shakespeare master classes. She will also be teaching a workshop about iambic pentameter.

Adam Fristoe (’08) just returned from a 3 month tour of his company's original show, Hominid, a true story of conspiracy, murder and suicide captured by Frans de Waal, in his book Chimpanzee Politics: Sex and Power Among the Apes. Adam is currently Artist in Residence at the Center for Chemical Evolution, where he is devising and directing an outdoor, spectacle performance that will premier in Atlanta in April 2011, then tour Europe that summer in collaboration with the Dutch Spectacle Theater company, The Lunatics. He will be presenting his work on Science and Art collaborations at the 2010 CUNY Science and the Arts Conference in October. As a teacher, Adam teaches courses in acting, composition and devising original theater at Emory University, KSU's Department of Theatre, Performance and Dance and with the apprentice companies at Actor's Express and Georgia Shakespeare.
