ARTISTIC D IRECTOR ’S NOTE

Welcome to our 38th season and our second year round season! The 2011‑2012 season also marks my 10th year as Artistic Director. I could not be more pleased with the strides the theatre has taken in those ten years. With the help of a terrific board, dedicated staff, and the contributions of hundreds of wonderful artists, we’ve grown from producing one show in the summer to an exciting four shows year round. We now present two shows in the summer in our home in Austin Gardens and, thanks to a terrific partnership with Madison Street Theatre, we offer two shows here in the fall and spring. In the past ten years, we’ve produced almost as many plays as we had in the previous 27 years. Talk about exponential growth!

This year’s season couldn’t be more exciting. I am proud to feature the talents of some of Chicagoland’s strongest artists, beginning with tonight’s production of Tennessee Williams’ classic, The Glass Menagerie directed by Kevin Theis and featuring Belinda Bremner. As soon as I knew we would be producing this amazing work, I asked Belinda to play Amanda Wingfield. I can think of no one else I’d like to see illumine this fantastic character.

This spring, again right here in the MST Studio theatre, we are thrilled to feature Alan Ruck (who many of you will know as Cameron in the John Hughes movie Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, and who also appeared in the movies Twister and Speed, as well as Stuart Bondek in the TV series, Spin City) but I will truly enjoy sharing the stage with him in Marie Jones’ Olivier Award winning Irish comedy, Stones in His Pockets. The two actors in this show portray all of the 17 characters in the play. With Stones in His Pockets we welcome back to OPFT the directing talents of David Mink, who has directed several of our very successful shows (Tartuffe and Blithe Spirit to name but two).

With a national election looming in the fall, the first show in the summer of 2012, will feature the directing talents of Steve Pickering, former Artistic Director of Next Theatre, helming our production of Inherit the Wind. This retelling of the Scopes’ Monkey Trial, which took place in 1925, debates the legality of teaching evolution and is as timely today as when it was written in 1955 by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. In fact, the authors describe the setting of when the play takes place as “not too long ago.”

Wrapping up our summer, Kevin Theis will be featured as one of Shakespeare’s most charming and sympathetic villains in all of theatre, Richard the Third. This complex, fascinating exploration of a man who at the beginning of the play tells us he will stop at nothing to achieve his nefarious designs, challenges us to determine where our allegiance lies and why. Directed by Belinda Bremner, this exciting play caps our 2011 ‑ 2012 season. By that time, we will have announced our 2012 ‑ 2013 season. Time flies when you’re having fun.

None of this would be possible without the strong support of you our audience. Thank you for your patronage, please tell your friends, bring them with you and, if you haven’t already, become a subscriber!

Thank you,Jack Hickey

DIRECTOR ’S NOTES

The Glass Menagerie is set during a period in our history that we hoped never to repeat. In the late 1930s, America was in turmoil: the economy was in ruins, unemployment was sky‑high, income disparity was endemic, and hope was a scarce commodity.

Yet here we are, more than seventy years later, living through a similar (if less catastrophic) national crisis. Many Americans, like the Wingfield family, live paycheck to paycheck. Families now, as then, must sometimes choose between eating and paying the electric bill. And young men like Tom, the economic lifeblood of the family’s existence, must choose between two heartbreaking options: abandoning either his dreams or the people who need him the most.

We should all hope for a time when plays like this are not so tragically relevant.

This play marked Tennessee Williams’ first major success as a playwright and, though he would go on to write some of the greatest American classics of the 20th century, it remains his most personal and intimate work.

IV. Andante / Adagio / Allegro / Adagio / AllegroThe glorious company of the Apostles praise thee.The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee.The noble army of Martyrs praise thee.The holy Church, throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee.The Father of an infinite majesty; thine honorable, true, and only son;Also the Holy Ghost, the comforter.

Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ.Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.

V. Adagio / AllegroWhen thou tookest upon thee to deliver man;Thou didst not abhor the Virgins womb.When thou the hadst overcome the sharpness of death;Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
