WELCOMEfrom the Producing Artistic Director

This isn’t the fi rst time we decided to produce Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac.

That was in 1993, when we announced Cyrano directed by Aaron Posner as part of our 1993/94 season. Shortly after announcing our production, we found out that the Wilma and Walnut Street Theatres also planned to produce Cyrano as part of their upcoming seasons. Three productions of Cyrano seemed like too much of a good thing, so we decided to bide our time. Interestingly, the Walnut and Wilma joined forces to co-produce the play. Thus, the 1993/94 Philadelphia theatre season featured a singular Cyrano de Bergerac – and a very good one at that.

That 1994 production was directed by Jiri Zizka, who was the co-Artistic Director and co-founder of the Wilma Theater. In a 1994 Philadelphia Inquirer article about Cyrano, Jiri was quoted as saying, “I love the story. I’ve always been attracted to it because it is, more or less, the story of a rebellious poet. It’s something any artist can relate to very easily.” Sadly, early this year, Jiri Zizka passed away. Jiri was one of this theatre community’s pioneers. He made an artistic home for himself in this city at a time when Philadelphia theatre still largely consisted of Broadway tours, proving that Philadelphia audiences were hungry for work that was challenging, provocative and original. Without the groundbreaking work of Jiri and Blanka Zizka, the Arden would not be here in Philadelphia. We celebrate and are grateful for the courage, artistry and singular vision of Jiri Zizka, a rebellious poet indeed.

And so nearly two decades later, the Arden returns to Cyrano, again with Aaron Posner directing. Now, Aaron is joined by Michael Hollinger (who happens to speak French), and together they have created this new adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s classic play. Aaron and Michael are two of the Arden’s most beloved writers. We have produced nine original adaptations written by Aaron and seven new plays by Michael. They have created an impressive body of new work here at the Arden, and we are thrilled to welcome them back with this production.

This year, we are expanding our commitment to new plays – and to playwrights – by launching The Writers’ Room, a program where we will have a playwright in residence, connecting them with this region’s incredible artists and audiences. The Writers’ Room is an extension of our desire to be an artistic home for writers, as we have been fortunate to be for Michael and Aaron, and to spread the word that Philadelphia has become a hotbed for new plays and playwrights. We are grateful for the leadership support’generously provided by the Independence Foundation through its New Theatre Works Initiative and by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative.

Who knows if Jiri Zizka ever envisioned how the Philadelphia theatre community would fl ourish when he and Blanka fi rst set down roots here in 1979. I do know that there are so many artists who are indebted to him for making Philadelphia his adopted hometown. Thank you for coming to see our Cyrano. And thank you for being part of the Philadelphia theatre community.

P.S. I am thrilled to announce that the Arden’s 25th anniversary will close with a production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s A Little Night Music with a cast that includes Grace Gonglewski and Mary Martello. I couldn’t be more excited.

DIRECTOR’S Notes

I once wrote and delivered several love poems to the mysterious, dark-eyed Michelle Weill– the prettiest girl I had ever seen up close at the time. But I did not do it for myself. No, I did it for Pete Stevens, a charming, easy-going, almost insouciant fellow 5th grader in Mr. Macy’s class at Edison Elementary in Eugene, Oregon in 1975.

What exactly the upshot of my literary wooing was I can’t exactly say, it was quite some time ago-- but I do know that my fi rst “date” of any kind was later that year and both Pete and Michelle were part of it. It was a double date one Saturday afternoon (kelli Murphy was my “date”), and I remember very little except that we walked some, rode our bikes some, and we ate French Fries amidst almost impenetrable awkwardness. That’s about it.

But I tell this story because I fi nd it kind of wonderful that, in my own tiny way, I lived Cyrano before I saw it or read it, and I actually loved this play before I even knew it existed. We got close to doing it at the Arden more than 15 years ago, but I could not be more thrilled that we waited until now and that we have this group here to bring it to life.

The truth is, I can think of no better cadre of co-conspirators to help me share it with you than those we’ve assembled here. First and foremost, of course, is my chief partner-in-crime, the inimitable and ridiculously talented Michael Hollinger. It’s been a pleasure to play in this world with him. The exceptional cast and design team includes many folks I’ve been working with regularly for nearly 20 years, and some wonderful and inspiring new-comers as well. As a team, we’ve spared no effort in our attempt to offer our best-possible take on one of the truly great, quintessential romances ever conceived.

Finally, let me just say a sincere thank you to everyone at the fabulous Folger Theatre in Washington DC– my other artistic home for the last decade and more. We had the pleasure of fi rst producing this new adaptation/translation there last season, and it was a fabulous launching pad for this project. We are now more than happy to continue the journey and evolution here at the wonderful Arden, and hope that these two are just the beginning!

Thanks for joining us. Please enjoy...

Frederick W. Anton, III is President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association. He has been a supporter of the Arden since 1990 when the Arden created St. Stephen’s Alley at 10th and Ludlow Streets, next door to PMA’s headquarters in the former Federal Reserve Bank Building at 925 Chestnut Street. During that time, he founded and hosted the Arden’s Leadership Night, an annual advocacy event that introduced leaders of this region to the Arden’s plays and programming. These Leadership events played a key role in broadening the Arden’s base of supporters, as well as introducing new board members and key contributors. During those St. Stephen’s Alley years, Mr. Anton and PMA generously donated use of a building

on Ludlow Street that served as the Arden’s rehearsal space, as well as set and costume shops. In addition, Mr. Anton played a leadership role in the Arden’s move to our current facility in Old City. PMA’s Paul Luber used his real estate expertise and spent a considerable amount of time and energy working on the conversion of the facility with the architects and engineers. For his transformative contributions to the Arden, in 2011 Mr. Anton was selected by the Arden Board of Directors to be one of the inaugural members of the Cornerstone Society, an honorary group of individuals who have moved the organization forward in a signifi cant way.

Mr. Anton acknowledges the role F. Otto Haas—the man for whom the theatre where you are about to see Cyrano is named – played in his life and career. “Otto was my mentor. He was Chairman of the Board of PMA when I fi rst became President. Otto and I worked together on political action for the betterment of Pennsylvania. We also shared a mutual interest in the arts – fi rst with the Walnut Street Theatre and then for Arden Theatre Company.”

Fred and Emily Anton are enthusiastic supporters of the Arden and served as the Honorary Producers of Sunday in the Park with George (2010) and The Seafarer (2009). They are thrilled to once again support the work of Michael Hollinger, after serving as Honorary Producer for Hollinger’s Ghost-Writer (2010) and An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf (2007). As a graduate of Villanova University, Mr. Anton admires Michael Hollinger’s commitment to the university in his roles as Associate Professor of Theatre and Associate Artistic Director of Villanova Theatre. Mr. Anton has long admired Michael Hollinger’s work and the artistic home that the Arden has provided for him.

We thank Fred and Emily Anton for their ongoing extraordinary support of the Arden and for their great passion for great stories by great storytellers. Their tremendous support helps to make possible our work on the stage, in the classroom and in the community.

On stage May 24 – July 1

This spring, the Arden presents the world premiere of Tulipomania by Michael Ogborn, the composer of Baby Case and Café Puttanesca.Six strangers gather in a hash bar in present-day Amsterdam to tell a story of obsession, greed and beauty about the fi rst recorded economic bubble, the Dutch Tulip Craze of 1636. This was a time when tulip bulbs were sold and traded on the open market and on paper rendering people wealthy almost over night.

One by one, intoxicated by their smoky surroundings, each stranger is drawn into the story of a man who sacrifi ces all he possesses in the world for a tulip.

Jeff Coon (Sunday in the Park with George), as the Owner of the hash bar, leads the cast of this new musical that gets high off our fi nancial lows.

Translator’s Note

In conceiving this new adaptation of Cyrano De Bergerac with Aaron Posner, I’ve sought to produce an American translation that is true to the beating heart of the play, with a poetic sensibility that lets language soar when it should soar, but which is also lean, precise, spare, immediate and actor-friendly at all times. The play comprises a huge range of tones – comic, tragic, melodramatic, farcical, antic, elegiac – and I’ve tried to honor all of them, though the particular way each appears in our version may differ from the original. (What’s funny or poignant or scary in fi n de siècle Paris may not have the same effect on Americans in 2012.)

Rostand set his “Heroic Comedy in Five Acts” in the mid-1600s, and wrote it in Alexandrine couplets – paired rhyming lines of six feet (twelve syllables ) each – a nod to 17th-century plays by Molière, Racine and Corneille, which often used the same form. English translators have typically chosen to either convert the whole script to prose, or retain the rhymed couplets and set the dialogue in iambic pentameter (fi ve feet, ten syllables), a meter most of us associate with Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets, e.g.:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. (Sonnet #18)

Except for explicit poetry – Montfl eury’s soliloquy, Cyrano’s duel poem, the songs, etc. – my translation tends to avoid end rhymes, and employs tetrameter (four feet per line) with a variable number of syllables per line. My decision to abandon the rhymed couplets of the original derived not from the inherent diffi culty of the task – as a lyricist, I use rhyme all the time – but rather from the way this formalism tends to distract me from the play itself, continually drawing my attention to the artfulness of the playwright or translator and away from the predicaments and souls of the characters. (I don’t feel this way about Molière, where a consciousness of the formal perfection of the verse enhances my delight.) Likewise, tetrameter gives lines a wonderful sense of velocity, though rhymed tetrameter tends to have a sing-song quality (think Dr. Seuss). Instead, I’ve employed a range of other poetic devices – alliteration, assonance, consonance, internal rhyme, etc. – that I believe keep the ear engaged while not encouraging the audience to begin listening for a rhyme at the end of every line. The idea is to allow the poetry of the play to wax and wane, depending on the moment and the lyrical nature of each character.

Like the translation, this adaptation strives to be lean, precise, spare, immediate and actor-friendly. The greatly-reduced size of the acting ensemble – eight men and one woman – invites compression and theatricality; the use of direct address by the character of Le Bret (a nod to the Chorus in Shakespeare’s Henry V) allows for the imaginative and self-conscious use of the theatre and audience, and for devices familiar to contemporary theatre-goers but not in currency in 1897.

Throughout the process, my goal has been not to diminish the riches of the original play, but rather to release them so they will impact those who see it with force, feeling and panache.

Our access program, Arden For All, makes our work available to the entire community through subsidized tickets and books for economically disadvantaged young people. We also offer sign language-interpreted, captioned and audio described performances and Pay-What-You-Can final dress rehearsals that ben-efit other nonprofits. The Arden has received seven Philadelphia Magazine “Best of Philly” Awards, the Arts & Business Council’s Arts Excellence Award, five City Paper “Reader’s Choice” Awards, four Philadelphia Inquirer “Theatre Company of the Year” citations, 58 awards and 272 nominations from the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia’s Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre, and named “Best Theatre Company” by Philadelphia Weekly in 2009. Arden Theatre Company, a professional, nonprofit 501(c)(3) theatre company, is a member of the Theatre Communications Group, the League of Resident Theatres, the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia, Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau and Old City Arts Association. The Arden operates under an agreement between the League of Resident Theatres and Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States. The Scenic, Costume, Lighting and Sound Designers in LORT theatres are represented by United Scenic Artists Local USA-829, IATSE.

This spring and into the summer, the Arden will be introducing an innovative new program, The Writers’ Room, in which a playwright is in residence at the Arden for six weeks completing the draft of a play. Several weeks later the play begins a workshop and rehearsal period, culminating in a production with a limited run of public performances.

The Writers’ Room, led by Arden Associate Artistic Director Edward Sobel, is designed to allow playwrights to stay in closer contact with their original creative impulse and have a more wholesome relationship with the larger institution than most new play development processes currently allow. The program provides playwrights direct monetary and institutional support, a guaranteed production, and dramatically shortens the time between the writing and production process.

The Writers’ Room marks a continuation of the Arden’s commitment to developing new plays for the national canon. Notable Arden premieres include Michael Hollinger’s Opus (one of the top 10 most produced plays in the United States in 2009-10), Aaron Posner’s adaptation of My Name Is Asher Lev, and Wittenberg by David Davalos. Award winning writers Bruce Graham, Michael Ogborn, and Jordan Harrison have all premiered commissioned pieces at the Arden.

With The Writers’ Room, Arden audiences will have an unusual opportunity to participate in the play development process. A limited number of the public will purchase “Inside the Writers’ Room” passes, providing “behind the scenes” access throughout the writing, workshop, rehearsal, and performance. Pass holders will have the opportunity to observe rehearsals, discuss the on-going work, and become educated about the new play development and production process.

The fi rst playwright to take up residence in The Writers’ Room will be Wendy MacLeod. Wendy’s play The House of Yes became an award-winning Miramax fi lm starring Parker Posey, and was produced by many theaters including The Magic Theater, Soho Rep, The Washington Shakespeare Company, The Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin, and The Gate Theater in London. Her other works for the stage include Sin and Schoolgirl Figure, both of which premiered at The Goodman, Juvenilia and The Water Children, both of which premiered at Playwrights Horizons, and Things Being What They Are, which premiered at Seattle Repertory Theatre and had an extended run at Steppenwolf in Chicago. Her new play Find and Sign premiered in January at the Pioneer Theater where it was called “both entertaining and thought-provoking” by the Salt Lake Tribune. Her prose has appeared in Salon, Poetry magazine, McSweeney’s, The Rumpus, The Awl and on All Things Considered. A graduate of the Yale School of Drama, she is the James E. Michael Playwright-in-Residence at kenyon College.

The Writers’ Room is funded by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative and the Independence Foundation through its New Theatre Works Initiative.
