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,

Michael KahnArtistic Director

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.

• in using cutting-edge technology to share our work with people around the world.

• in supporting and developing actors, directors, designers and artisans who will make major contributions to the world of theatre for years to come.

• in encouraging a synergy of arts and ideas by developing collaborative programming with other institutions.

• in bringing the best of the performing arts to our audience by hosting a broad spectrum of local, national and international arts companies.

• in being responsible stewards of our resources.

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


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


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.”

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.

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.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company is pleased to

offer an exciting array of Master Acting Classes

designed to engage students of all levels with

the art and craft of theatre. Taught by working

professionals, award-winning actors and veterans

of the Shakespeare Theatre Company stage, Master

Acting Classes offer a unique menu of training

opportunities in scene study, voice and movement,

text analysis, audition monologues and more.

The classes in the 2009-2010 Season were

conducted throughout four different terms.

This year, 33 classes were offered to more than

300 students.

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

City Opera.

WInDoWS

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

discussions are moderated in dialogue with the

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.

CLaSSICS In ConTeXT

To create a new approach to dialogue and an

innovative method of exchange, the Shakespeare

Theatre Company invites experts from many

different disciplines like religion and philosophy,

science, and psychology to respond to the work

on the STC stage. Classics in Context fulfills

the audience’s desire for discussion with a new

perspective and approach toward criticism.

Guests who are specific to the production react

to the work of the company and engage with our

audience in a roundtable format.

TheoLoGICaL DISCUSSIonS

Conducted in partnership with reverend roger

Ferlo and the Virginia Theological Seminary, this

free discussion series enables the audience to

explore the relevance of the current production

in its time and ours through the distinct lens of a

theological perspective.

poST-perFormanCe DISCUSSIonS

Immediately following the designated evening’s

production, audience members are invited to remain

for a free post-performance discussion. These

discussions extend the experience and delve deeper

into the themes and issues of the production.

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.

WILL on The hILL

monday, april 26, 2010

Sidney harman hall

One of the most anticipated events each

spring in Washington, D.C., is Will on the

Hill. Washington’s political and media elite

are brought together to celebrate the work

of Shakespeare and of the Shakespeare

Theatre Company. This year’s production,

The Play’s the Thing!, directed by Associate

Artistic Director David Muse, featured

more than 20 of Washington’s insiders,

including CNN’s Jessica Yellin, NPr’s Nina

Totenberg, Senators roger Wicker and

richard Lugar, as well as guest star Peter

Jacobson from the hit TV drama House. In

attendance at the performance was then-

Associate Director for the White House

Office of Public Engagement, Kalpen Modi,

who is most famously known for his role in

the popular Harold and Kumar films.

Will on the Hill welcomed more than 500

guests and raised more than $267,000,

helping to fund the education and

community outreach programs of the

Shakespeare Theatre Company. Audience

members were also entertained by

students from STC’s Text Alive! Program,

performing a scene from As You Like It.

These students also got to go backstage

and meet the cast of The Play’s the Thing!

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.
