A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

A MESSAGE FROM THE WRITER – JOSH SCHMIDT

We are so thrilled that Josh’s first show is making its Wisconsin premiere at Skylight since he had our company in mind while writing Adding Machine. Josh spent a lot of time here during his high school and college years. We are delighted for his success not only with Adding Machine, but with his second show, A Minister’s Wife, which runs through June 12 at Lincoln Center in New York City.

We would like to thank the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for its generous support of Adding Machine. We were so honored to learn that we were recipients this year and we are pleased that the NEA values our commitment to supporting new works and to providing educational opportunities in conjunction with this production. We would also like to thank our Clarion Society, whose multi-year commitments help make our future secure.

We have made great progress on our goal to match the $150,000 Challenge Fund that was created by several generous donors this year. With less than $16,000 left to go, we are within reach our goal. Your new or additional gift will help us complete the challenge by the end of our fiscal year on June 30th.

It has been a wonderful season at Skylight with six productions of which we are extremely proud. We hope you’ll join us next year for another exciting, uniquely Skylight season including: The Rivals (World Premiere), The Music Man, Edith Piaf Onstage, Daddy Long Legs (World Premiere), Sunday in the Park with George, Niffer Clarke’s Beyond the Ingénue and Things That Go Ding!.

Finally, in April we were saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing of a longtime Skylight friend, Dr. Sydney Johnson, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, and his entire family. Dr. Johnson supported Skylight in so many ways, as Board member, donor, subscriber and even as unofficial photographer. He will be remembered and sadly missed.

Amy S. Jensen and Bill Theisen

In 1992, I saw my very first theatrical production, Candide, at Skylight’s Jefferson Street space. I was dragged there by my piano teacher Susan Sonneborn. Contrary to my expectations, the event made quite an impression on me. I was captivated and surprised by how the actors emerged from all parts of the house, performing right in front of my seat at times. Of course, I was thrilled with the virtuosic little orchestra crammed into a closet space in front of the tiny stage. One can pinpoint my interest in pursuing a career in the arts to this very moment.

In 1996, Ray Jivoff and Tony Clements hired me to accompany them for their cabaret The Ray and Tony Dog and Pony Show. Soon after, Richard Carsey hired me to be assistant musical director and synth programmer on Wings. These two projects represent my first two professional gigs as a musician. For the early part of my career, Skylight was my artistic home outside of my music composition/technology studies at UWM with Yehuda Yannay and Jon Welstead. I will never forget that, or how those experiences changed my life.

Before I knew it, I found myself fully immersed in all that was music and performing arts in this city. I was playing gigs with two bands, Clamnation and Mississippi Cactus. I was curating and performing in two new music concert series at UWM. I landed composition/sound design gigs with theatre companies like Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, Renaissance Theaterworks, Next Act Theatre and Milwaukee Shakespeare in addition to large scale composition work with Wild

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR – K ATE BUCKLEY

The composer Josh Schmidt and the librettist and lyricist Jason Loewith, in their musical version of Elmer Rice’s The Adding Machine, have been faithful to Rice’s description of the expressionistic style of his original work: “We discard objective reality and seek to express the character in terms of his own inner life.” In addition, Schmidt and Loewith have created a musical that flirts with naturalism while swimming in expressionism, and even surprises us with touches of absurdism. The result is a complex and revealing piece of art.

Schmidt and Loewith’s combination of expressionist, naturalistic and absurdist techniques allows us to experience the misery and the grim fate of a man who has been replaced by a machine after 25 years on the job. Even though the dehumanization of the industrial age did crush many a soul, Loewith and Schmidt have given Mr. Zero three important opportunities to avoid his fate; when he is fired, before his execution, and in the afterlife. But he cannot change. He misses his last chance at romance and salvation, and he continues his journey through the never-ending misery of humanness. And yet, we feel a strange, unsettling empathy for this man.

Josh Schmidt’s score is an unconventional marvel, illustrating the unrelenting tediousness of the characters’ lives. It is passionate and demanding as it gives voice to anger, resignation, and hope. It is a musical vocabulary that is born of popular song, gospel, and ragtime influences. The music and lyrics are a world away from the typically sweet, contemporary musicals we are used to hearing.

The entire work has a stark, tension-filled energy. The first time I heard this music, I was enthralled by its surprises. I hope it will do the same for you.

A MESSAGE FROM THE WRITER – JOSH SCHMIDT (c o n t.)

Space Dance Company and Foothold Dance Theatre. My career radiates outwardly in concentric circles from my formative experiences in Milwaukee.

Back at Skylight, I think of three individuals who influenced my life profoundly as a musician, even though my technical abilities fall far short of theirs. Playing gigs over the years with Jamie Johns, Mike Lorenz, and especially Richard Carsey became an education in and of itself. I remain in awe of what could be accomplished with just those three guys playing - 2 pianos and percussion. When the time came to actually add my two cents to the continuum of musical theatre, this was the model that I hung my hat on. The music and orchestrations for Adding Machine, in all their sound and fury, are a direct consequence to those three guys and what they are capable of.

People tell me that the music for this is hard. I respond to that in two ways. First - yes it’s hard. Second - it is all possible. What made the Jefferson Street space so magical is that the impossible was rendered possible on a nightly basis. When the original creative team received the task of adapting Elmer Rice’s titanic play Adding Machine into a technically limited 140 seat elementary school theatre in Evanston, IL (Next Theatre), we were being asked to do the impossible just like those teams who inhabited that Skylight space of old. Night after night, we had to scale the impossible mountain without gimmicks, bells, or whistles. Just that alone seemed to be worth the price of admission. Every night - all involved rose to the occasion. In my mind, there is nothing more thrilling to witness; there is nothing more invigorating, more human than an entire company tackling the task of making the complexity of the human condition that Rice aspired to communicate, clear an engaging for everyone despite all odds.
