About the Lyceum
If Walls Could Speak...What a story they would tell!More than half a century ago, an amazingly committed group of dreamers set out to create the unlikely theatre that we continue to enjoy today. And what a dream! In 1961, Arrow Rock lacked its current picturesque environs. According to Founding Artistic Director, Henry Swanson, “The town was essentially in the last stages of decay and disrepair...” The Lyceum’s first home was in an abandoned church dating back to the 1870s, the lobby through which you entered into the theatre today. With the hope of keeping it from being torn down and salvaged for lumber, two Arrow Rock couples, the Lawrences and the Argubrights, purchased the church and began thinking about starting a theatre. Swanson, a professor at Christian College in Columbia was engaged as the theatre’s first Artistic Director. Swanson said, “I have always felt that good plays, well-acted, could draw an audience anywhere so I told them I would take a crack at it.” Swanson produced the first season for $3,500, $1,800 of which went toward a new roof.When Mr. Swanson retired from the Theatre in 1979, Michael Bollinger was named the Lyceum’s second Artistic Director. During Mr. Bollinger’s 25 year tenure, he expanded The Lyceum’s reach by introducing 20th century musicals to the repertoire, increasing attendance dramatically. In 1983, The Lyceum became the first theatre in Missouri to receive an award from the Missouri Arts Council (MAC). By 1990, thanks to increasing attendance and with the help of state income tax credits granted under the Missouri Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) and generous supporters, The Lyceum was able to raise several hundred thousand dollars to expand the theatre from 200 seats to the new 416-seat auditorium that you sit in today.In 2004 The Lyceum’s Board of Directors appointed Mr. Philip Coffield, a Lyceum veteran actor, director and 20 year Associate Artistic Director, as the theatre’s third Artistic Director. Mr. Coffield made plans for his first season, cast the shows and hired the many company members, but regrettably, due to mounting health issues, was unable to complete his first season as Artistic Director. Quin Gresham, a fellow Lyceum veteran and recently appointed Associate Artistic Director, stepped in as Artistic Director and went on to produce the 2005 Season. Sadly, Mr. Coffield passed away in early 2006, a loss felt deeply not just at The Lyceum, but throughout the entire theatre community.At the end of 2005, the Board of Directors asked Mr. Gresham to remain in Arrow Rock as The Lyceum’s fourth Artistic Director. Quin immediately proposed changing the theatre’s rotating repertory schedule to a stock season and, with the enthusiastic support of The Lyceum’s Board of Directors, restructured the theatre’s management approach. In 2006, Steve Bertani joined The Lyceum team as the theatre’s first Managing Director. Together, Mr. Bertani and Mr. Gresham continue to make facility improvements and to increase production quality, attendance, sponsorships and private support. In 2010 The Lyceum celebrated its 50th Season and, to celebrate this anniversary, more than half a million dollars was raised to ensure a good start to our second half century.The Lyceum Theatre is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization and is affiliated with Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States, and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, a theatrical labor union. The Lyceum is considered one of Missouri’s oldest professional theatres and has a Board of Directors representing communities throughout Missouri.

Director’s Notes
What is it about stepmothers and princes and slippers and true love?
Variations of the Cinderella story are nearly universal. Sometime between 7 BC and 24 AD, a Greek geographer recorded a folk tale about Rhodopis, a slave girl whose sandal is stolen by an eagle. The bird drops the shoe on the lap of the Pharaoh who, amazed by this occurrence and the uniqueness of the shoe, sets out to find his queen. In an 860 AD Chinese version of this tale, Ye Xian befriends a fish who is in fact the reincarnation of her deceased mother. Though the fish is killed by her stepmother, the remaining bones magically help Ye Xian dress appropriately for a New Year festival where she loses a shoe, leading the king to the foot that fits. A 10th century Japanese story tells of Himegimi who is treated cruelly by her stepmother in favor of her own daughters, and who keeps Himegimi away from her true love, The Minor Captain. Himegimi runs away from home to a shrine in Osaka. Her true love sees the shrine in a dream where he eventually finds Himegimi and brings her back to the palace. There is a Vietnamese telling where the protagonist, Tam, is actually killed by her stepfamily and is reincarnated as a bird, a loom, and an apple before she is reunited with the king. The first European version of the story appears in a 1634 collection by Giambattista Basile, and tells the story of Cenerentola, who has a stepmother and wicked stepsisters, a missing slipper, and is the subject of a royal search aided by an island-bound fairy. Forty years later Charles Perrault wrote Cendrillon, which introduces the idea of a fairy godmother transforming a pumpkin into a golden carriage and mice into horses. The iconic glass slippers factor into this story for the first time. Perrault’s story teaches us that beauty is a gift, but hardly as significant as kindness, intellect, and good common sense. The Brothers Grimm took a crack at the story in the 19th century with their Aschenputtel, an intense story with no fairy godmother, but instead a magical tree that bestows gifts upon Aschenputtel, and a stepmother who advises her daughters to cut off portions of their feet to fit into the golden slipper that Aschenputtel lost at the prince’s feast. In 1950 the Walt Disney Studios were rescued from the edge of bankruptcy with their animated feature, Cinderella, largely based on Perrault’s Cendrillon. The Disney version emphasizes the power of having a dream with the song “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.”
When Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II set out seven years after the Disney film to write an original musical for television, rather than the stage, they consulted with a CBS executive who was already looking for a vehicle for Julie Andrews, then starring in My Fair Lady on Broadway. The result was broadcast live on March 31, 1957. In 1958 the musical was performed on stage for the first time at the London Coliseum and in 1961 at the New York City Opera. The musical’s onstage success, combined with the absence of a good copy of the original, pre-videotape broadcast, prompted CBS to mount a new production with a new script in 1965, starring 18-year-old Lesley Ann Warren and Arrow Rock friend, Celeste Holm, as the Fairy Godmother. This production was broadcast many times over the next ten years. In 1997 a diverse cast brought Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella back to life, starring Brandy and Whitney Houston. In 2013, Douglas Carter Beane wrote yet another script for what was to be the musical’s first time on Broadway, featuring several new characters and new songs from the R&H catalog. And, most significantly, Beane changed the story from one about a damsel in distress to that of a spirited woman who sees injustice far more significant than her own personal woes. That is the show you will see today.
Rhodopis, Ye Xian, Himegimi, Tam, Cenerentola, Cendrillon, and Aschenputtel: by any name, Cinderella continues to charm and fascinate us. Like any really good story, one told so often that it has been polished by each retelling, Cinderella’s story will continue to change as the world around it changes. It’s that kind of story.
