of what the Shakespeare Theatre Company was able to accomplish in the 2009-2010 season. This year, STC embarked on one of the most artistically ambitious seasons in our history. We undertook some of the most challenging works of classic theatre in the newest and most innovative ways and engaged a number of extraordinarily talented artists to help us on that journey.
Two powerhouse events marked the beginning of this season. We welcomed the Free For All into the Harman Center for the Arts for the first time. This new home for one of Washington’s most beloved events brought increased access to our free Shakespeare. Immediately following the Free For All we hosted the National Theatre of London’s production of Phèdre. This piece, directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring Dame Helen Mirren, sold out in record time. It was electrifying to bring such a talented group of artists and such a remarkable production to the Washington, D.C., community.
My production of The Alchemist kicked off the season in the Lansburgh. Next, Maria Aitken took us on a whirlwind tour of American history, as seen through cinema, in her extremely imaginative production of As You Like It. My production of Richard II and David Muse’s Henry V followed in repertory for two months, with both shows boasting brilliant performances by Michael Hayden. The Liar was a new adaptation of the Pierre Corneille comedy by celebrated playwright David Ives. I was thrilled to direct a production with the playwright at my side, something that is rare in classical theatre. Finally, Tony Award-winner Elizabeth Ashley joined us, playing the title role in Mrs. Warren’s Profession. Her performance wowed critics in the D.C. area and was a delight to watch.
The Company also honored great talent this season. Sir Ian McKellen, one of the most renowned Shakespearean actors of our time, was presented with the William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre at the third Harman Center for the Arts Annual Gala. The gala performance once again welcomed several artists representing multiple artistic disciplines from around the country to help us celebrate.
Bringing these distinguished artists to STC throughout the year is what keeps us on the cutting edge of both the classical and American theatre communities. Our designers, performers and directors are leaders in the industry and help us maintain our high level of artistic excellence.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the generous support of our donors and the D.C. community. We have read stories from all over the country this season about non-profit theatres and other large arts institutions struggling due to a grim economic climate. Thanks to the combination of extremely strong support from our donors, wonderful leadership from our board and the tireless efforts from our staff, STC pushed through these tough times to continue to create outstanding work while balancing our budget. On behalf of the staff and board at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, I offer my most sincere thanks to those individuals, corporations, foundations and government entities that continue to support us and our mission.
Warmly,

Our Mission
The mission of the Shakespeare Theatre Company is to present classic
theatre of scope and size in an imaginative, skillful and accessible American
style that honors the playwrights’ language and intentions while viewing
their work through a 21st-century lens.
Our Vision
The Shakespeare Theatre Company seeks to be an important resource
to an expanded national and international community—as the nation’s
premier destination for classic theatre, as a training ground for the next
generation of theatre artists and as a model provider of high-quality
educational content for students and scholars.
Our Values
• that through the power of their language and the timelessness of their themes, classic plays reflect on the human experience in ways that transcend the period in which they were conceived and remain relevant in our time.
• that the timelessness of classic plays provides infinite opportunities for contemporary theatre artists to re-interpret them.
• in staging classic plays with world-class production values.
• in discovering and re-introducing great plays into the classic repertory and commissioning new translations or adaptations.
• in building a more diverse audience for our theatre.
• in fostering an appreciation for classic theatre through our education programs.

is at the core of all our productions. The
2009-2010 Season’s selection of plays was
as ambitious as it was groundbreaking. From
the unique repertory focusing on leadership
to the new adaptation of The Liar, STC further
advanced the bounds of classical theatre, and
STC’s energetic supporters helped make it
possible. Contributions to the Shakespeare

THE TAMING OF THE SHrEWby William Shakespeare
directed by David muse
original direction by rebecca Bayla Taichman
august 27–September 12, 2009
Sidney harman hall
In 2009, Free For All, one of Washington’s
most valued and beloved theatrical traditions,
found itself in a new home: Sidney Harman Hall.
This site gave STC artists a more conducive
environment in which to create and provided our
audience with a more comfortable, enjoyable
experience. It also allowed the Shakespeare
Theatre Company to reach a more diverse
audience, being more accessible through Metro
and other public transporation.
STC’s 2007 production of The Taming of the
Shrew took the stage for the 2009 Free For All,
which was presented by Target. By providing a
major gift of financial and in-kind support, Target
helped STC create new education programs
surrounding the Free For All, including the
Target Family Fun Fair at Sidney Harman Hall.
Families got a “behind-the-scenes” look at all
the elements that go into theatrical productions.
Children tried on costumes, designed their
dream set and even walked the red carpet! STC
looks forward to continuing to bring families and
diverse audiences to the Harman Center for the
Arts through the Free for All.
PRESENTED BY
THE ALCHEMISTby Ben Jonson
directed by michael kahn
october 6–november 22, 2009
Lansburgh Theatre
Considered playwright Ben Jonson’s best
comedy, The Alchemist follows the antics
of three con artists: Subtle, Face and
Dol. When the gentleman Lovewit flees
England to avoid the Plague, the trio set
up headquarters in his home to expose the
social ills of their fellow Londoners. The New
Republic said this production was “a comic
romp, brilliantly directed by Michael Kahn.”
Murrell Horton’s costume design seamlessly
blended British farcical comedy, seedy Las
Vegas and glitzy vaudeville. With garments
that were strikingly period and stylishly
modern, Horton’s design was one of the
most memorable of the season.

AS YOu LIKE ITby William Shakespeare
directed by maria aitken
november 17–December 22, 2009
Sidney harman hall
In this film-inspired take on one of
Shakespeare’s most well-known comedies,
exiles from a tyrannical kingdom search
for freedom in the Forest of Arden. The
irrepressible rosalind, Shakespeare’s most
fully realized female character, finds freedom
of a different kind as she pursues love in
disguise. Tony Award-winning director Maria
Aitken brought her signature directing style
to As You Like It.
Michael John LaChiusa composed an original
score for this production. LaChiusa is known
for composing Marie Christine, The Wild
Party and Giant. The Washington Times
equated LaChiusa’s score to “Busby Berkley
production numbers that get your toes
a-tappin’ and your heart a-thumpin’!”
“Glitzy and showy... As You Like It gets more and more entertaining as it goes
further down Sunset Boulevard.” Washington City Paper

rICHArD IIby Willliam Shakespeare
directed by michael kahn
February 2–april 10, 2010
Sidney harman hall
King richard neglects his subjects and
spends lavishly, giving rise to his charismatic
cousin Henry Bolingbroke. As the battle
to rule England approaches, richard’s
supporters abandon him for his rival.
Will richard learn what it means to be a
king before he loses the crown? Written
entirely in verse, Richard II contains some
of Shakespeare’s most thrilling language.
As part of the Leadership repertory, this
production played in repertory with Henry V.
In Defense of the Arts (IDOA) was very
involved in the Leadership repertory.
IDOA is an affinity group which brings
together members and supporters of the
local defense and government contracting
community to support the presentation of
classical theatre and make theatre accessible
to our work force, with a particular focus
on disabled veterans temporarily housed in
Washington, D.C.
LEADErSHIP rEPErTOrY
The Leadership repertory was an innovative program presented by the Shakespeare Theatre Company that used Shakespeare’s text
to analyze leadership theory and style. Henry V and Richard II represent two of the most storied leaders in the history of England, as is
evidenced by Shakespeare’s plays documented their reign in England. The productions of Richard II and Henry V provided STC with a
unique opportunity to examine leadership in our nation’s capital.
LEADErSHIP SYMPOSIuM
In addition to the productions, STC hosted the Leadership Symposium. This event looked at leadership in terms of history, theory, and
current practices. President Bill Clinton and other leadership experts contributed to the event that was attended by both seasoned
executives and burgeoning leaders from the D.C. community. 15

HENrY Vby William Shakespeare
directed by David muse
February 4–april 10, 2010
Sidney harman hall
Young and brash King Henry V of England takes
his nation to war with France. As he leads his
troops into combat and experiences the true
costs of war firsthand, Henry discovers that
the challenges of leadership are greater than
he ever imagined. From Henry’s rousing battle
speeches to his quieter moments courting the
Princess of France, Shakespeare explores what
makes a man a king... and a king a man.
Peter Marks in The Washington Post, singled
out Michael Hayden for his outstanding
performances. “The actor brings his
Shakespeare to another level with richard
II and Henry V. The performances, taken
together, constitute the most charismatic
work in Shakespeare the city has experienced
in memory. What Hayden provides in these
divergent portrayals is the savory sense of
well-spoken interpretation from the gut as well
as the imagination. It’s red-meat Shakespeare,
served up in a gratifyingly old-fashioned way:
he compels us to the illusion that richard and
Henry are stars being played by one.”
“Downright thrilling.”Washington City Paper

THE LIAradapted by David Ives
from the comedy by pierre Corneille
directed by michael kahn
april 6–may 30, 2010
Lansburgh Theatre
This outlandish comedy follows the charming
and handsome Dorante, who also happens
to be a pathological liar! He arrives in Paris
and amazes and convinces all who hear his
tall tales, but for each problem his clever
lying solves, it creates two new ones. Michael
Kahn brought his brilliant touch to this one-
of-a-kind comedy that The Washington Post
called “an updated rib-tickler…brimming with
puns and delicious wordplay.”
Speaking about his collaboration with David
Ives, Michael Kahn said “I usually deal with
dead playwrights. When I make adjustments
to a play by Shakespeare–adding or cutting
text or rewriting a line–I’m ‘asking’ him, ‘Is
this a good idea for your play?’ I hope that
if he were here now, he would say yes. So
having a playwright that I can talk on the
telephone with or eat lunch with (and not
have to channel) is pleasant.”

ABOuT THE rEDISCOVErY SErIES The reDiscovery Series began in Michael Kahn’s first season with STC, when he chose to produce Niccolo Machiavelli’s 1518 play The Mandrake and commissioned a new translation and adaptation of this lesser-known play. With the inception of the reDiscovery Series, STC began a concerted effort to find and produce little-known or neglected works. In this series, STC and our audiences investigate exemplary plays of the classical canon. The Liar became the first ever published reDiscovery script, complete with history of the original play and playwright and the methodology of adapting the piece.

MrS. WArrEN’S PrOFESSIONby George Bernard Shaw
directed by keith Baxter
June 8–July 11, 2010
Sidney harman hall
Originally banned from the stage, Mrs.
Warren’s Profession scandalized audiences
upon its debut. The world of the idealistic
Vivie is turned upside down when she learns
that her family’s considerable wealth comes
from her mother’s management of a chain
of brothels. This play asks the question
of whether Mrs. Warren’s profession is an
outrageous moral failure or a paragon of
female achievement.
Stage veteran Elizabeth Ashley returned to
Washington and the Shakespeare Theatre
Company as Mrs. Warren. Critics fell in love
with her performance, with Washingtonian
calling it “delicious... When Ashley’s on stage,
she rules.”
“Alluring. Stage vet [Elizabeth Ashley]... does pleasurable justice to one of Shaw’s
more decadent creations.”The Washington Post

PhèDreby Jean racine
directed by nicholas hytner
September 16–26, 2009
Sidney harman hall
Believing her husband to be dead, the
passionate Queen Phèdre allows her
forbidden love for her stepson to blossom.
When the King returns from war very much
alive, the entire family is catapulted into a
desperate, impossible situation.
The sole American engagement of the
National Theatre of Great Britain’s production
of Phèdre featured Academy Award winner
Dame Helen Mirren. The production sold out
in less than five hours! The Washington Post
raved about Mirren’s performance, saying,
“Mirren takes to feverish heart racine’s idea
of the Athenian queen as a captive of her
longings, and convinces us utterly that a rash
of ardor can devastate the body as surely as
any airborne infection.”

International works have always been valued
by the Shakespeare Theatre Company, and
the Harman Center for the Arts allows the
Company to bring this work to the D.C. metro
area. Building on the success of Phèdre, STC
began a new partnership with the National
Theatre called NT Live. This program
broadcasts live performances of National
Theatre plays onto cinema screens around the
world. Each listed presentation was performed
live in London, filmed in high definition and
presented in Washington exclusively by the
Shakespeare Theatre Company.

the District of Columbia. Based on a foundation
of craftsmanship, collaboration, community and
citizenship, ShakesPEErS enables young people to
explore the world through performance
and mentorship.
This year, more than 50 students participated
in the program over three semesters: fall, spring
and summer. Students worked with STC’s staff of
professional teaching artists to develop abridged
versions of Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus and A
Midsummer Night’s Dream. ShakesPEErS work as
designers, directors and actors to create a hands-
on project that shows students exactly how a
piece of theatre is put together.

re:aCTre:ACT In School and Out of School residencies
use theatre techniques to actively engage
students in an exploration of Shakespeare,
language and arts and the humanities. While
analyzing classical texts and exploring how to
utilize their bodies, voices and imaginations,
students develop confidence, learn to collaborate
as an ensemble and strengthen communication
skills. All residencies are designed collaboratively
with classroom teachers to provide students
an experience that deepens curriculum goals,
explores Shakespeare texts and provides students
an opportunity to learn about the process of
creating theatre.
re:ACT is one of the key programs in bringing
Shakespeare directly to students. In 2009,
Shakespeare Theatre Company professional
teaching artists were able to reach 3,600
students through the re:ACT program. Seventeen
residencies and 492 in-class workshops
were conducted.
TeXT aLIVe!Text Alive! invites public school students and
teachers in grades 8 to 12 from D.C., Maryland and
Virginia to explore the themes, complex characters
and language in William Shakespeare’s plays.
Text Alive! supports each district’s standards of
learning in teaching Shakespeare, making his
work come alive through a performance-based
teaching strategy that enables students to become
enthusiastic participants in their learning process.
As You Like It and Henry V were the titles explored
in this year’s Text Alive! program, which reached
28 classrooms, 23 teachers and more than 560
students. The program provided many students
and teachers with their first in-depth exposure
to Shakespeare through both performance and
humanities-based, in-school workshops. Text
Alive! expands students’ personal, cultural and
historical perspectives through this exploration of
Shakespeare’s work and world.

In 2009-2010, the Academy for Classical Acting,
the only program of its kind in the united States,
conferred Master of Fine Arts degrees on 16
classical actors. Since graduation, these talented
men and women have gone on to appear on the
stages of the Shakespeare Theatre Company,
the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,
Bunburry Theatre, Constellation Theatre and
Kentucky Shakespeare.
This year’s class benefitted from growing
levels of scholarship support provided by the
Emerging Classical Artists Fund. The rigors of
the ACA curriculum prevent degree candidates
from working during their tenure at The George
Washington university. To help offset the cost of
earning their MFA, the Emerging Classical Artists
Fund provides merit awards to ACA students so
that they may complete their studies. By helping
to train the next generation of classical actors,
the Fund also helps ensure the future of classical
theatre in America.

Camp ShakeSpeare
This two-week day camp aims to enhance the
understanding of Shakespeare’s language through
the exploration of movement, text, improvisation
and performance. Young people ages 9 to 18
analyze and interpret Shakespeare’s text, create
dynamic characters with their bodies, voices and
imaginations and explore the art of stage combat.
Camp Shakespeare culminates with a performance
for friends and family onstage at the Shakespeare
Theatre Company.
With the addition of three satellite locations,
STC was able to hold 16 two-week sessions in
D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Also, one three-
week session was held for advanced students.
Professional teaching artists contributed more
than 2,000 hours to this program that reached
250 students in the summer of 2010.

Each year, the Shakespeare Theatre Company
brings in a new class of interns and fellows
to join our team. More than 650 applications
were received for just over 24 positions. These
young arts professionals work directly with
our experienced staff members and gain the
hands-on experience they need to bridge the
gap between the college and the professional
world. The Shakespeare Theatre Company offers
free housing and a modest stipend to help the
interns and fellows defray the cost of living.
Students have gone on to work for organizations
like the Goodman Theatre, The Kennedy Center,
Playwrights Horizons and the New York

Held the Sunday afternoon of preview week, the
Windows conversation offers a free and lively
introduction of the current Shakespeare Theatre
Company mainstage production. Windows

director of the production or the resident assistant
director who worked on the production. Critical
approaches are contributed by frequent noted
guest scholars who provide comparison and
contrast with the artistic team.

To create a new approach to dialogue and an
innovative method of exchange, the Shakespeare

harman CenTer For The arTS annUaL GaLa
At the 2009 Harman Center for the Arts Annual
Gala, guests were transported back to the
enchanted forest of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Performances by Synetic Theater, Step Afrika!,
soprano Ashleigh Semkiw, Ballet West and the
actors of the Shakespeare Theatre Company
celebrated one of Shakespeare’s most beloved
works at Sidney Harman Hall. The performance
ended with a standing ovation as Mickey rooney,
“the Puck of all Pucks,” closed the show with
Puck’s final speech from the play.
Sir Ian McKellen accepted the William
Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre in
recognition of his long and storied career. Widely
celebrated as one of the leading classical actors
of our time, Sir Ian has performed many of
Shakespeare’s most challenging roles both on
stage and on screen.
The second annual Sidney Harman Award
for Philanthropy in the Arts was presented
by Dr. Harman to Max Berry in honor of the
immeasurable contributions to arts in Washington
made by him and his late wife Heidi.
After the performance and presentations, guests
walked the red carpet to the National Building
Museum for dinner and dancing. Inspired by the
forest of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the 2009
Gala went “green” with live and reusable trees,
flowers and herbs for centerpieces and menu
cards made from seeded paper.
William Shakespeare awardfor Classical Theatre
Following his acceptance of the William Shakespeare Award for Classical
Theatre, Sir Ian McKellen delivered a benefit performance called Ian McKellen:
A Knight in Harman Hall. His solo performance weaved together stories of his
early experiences in the theatre, his advocacy of LGBT rights and his more recent
world-wide acclaim and film celebrity. This rare opportunity to hear the personal
and heartfelt story of one of the greatest living actors of stage and screen sold
out in a matter of hours and was a great benefit to STC.

Judgment at agincourt
Tuesday, march 16, 2010
Sidney harman hall
In its second year at Sidney Harman Hall,
the Mock Trial was once again sold out
three weeks in advance of the event. A
packed house watched as Miguel Estrada
and Kannon Shanmugam represented
Henry V as he appealed a lower court
decision finding him criminally responsible
for the slaughter of the French POWs at
the battle of Agincourt.
In the end, Henry’s appeal was denied
when both the audience and the bench—
presided over by Justice ruth Bader
Ginsburg and including Justice Samuel
Alito, Chief Judge Paul Michel, Judge
Janice rogers Brown, Judge Merrick
Garland, Judge Brett Kavanaugh and
Judge David Tatel—narrowly upheld
the verdict for the families of the POWs
represented by Viet Dinh and
Gregory Garre.
