WHO’S WHO




You Are Here is the story of a woman who, late(-ish) in life, takes a small step away from her sheltered suburban home and makes a giant leap into a world as unfamiliar to her as the surface of the moon.

When we first set out to write this piece, we had just completed our run of The Theory of Relativity at Goodspeed, which was a view through the eyes of 20-somethings about to step into the unfamiliar world of adulthood. After writing for that incredibly talented company of young actors, we thought it would be an exciting challenge to tackle something that viewed the world from the other end of the spectrum, from a 50-something point of view.

The theatrical canon isn't exactly crowded with leading roles for brilliant actresses of a certain age. For every Dolly or Rose there are dozens of Laureys, Julies, Marias, Millies, Cosettes, Elphabas, Anastasias, Elsas, Annas…the list is endless. So, we were intrigued by the possibilities presented to us by tapping into the talents of an established actress who could bring a depth of life and work experience to this piece. We were also interested in tossing her into a time period that would test anyone's limits, let alone our central character Diana, who has decades of established patterns and ingrained behaviors.

1969 was a time of great social upheaval. The women's movement was gaining its footing, race-related riots were frequent and volatile, the Vietnam War was raging on, and men were walking on the moon. It was also a time of great change

in the music world. It was the moment when parents and children stopped listening to the same music. Hair had premiered on Broadway just one year earlier, and the Beatles had made a splash on The Ed Sullivan Show only a few years before that. The surface serenity of the previous twenty years was cracking. But many were watching this through the safe filter of a television screen. We wondered what this would have been like for our grandmothers who had gone through one, maybe two, world wars and were finally able to settle into the social stillness of the 1950s only to have the cart upset once again.

This combination of a veteran performer playing a specific yet familiar character living in a turbulent time feels particularly fertile. Add to the mix our wonderful director Sarna Lapine and Goodspeed's Norma Terris Theatre (our home for both The Story of My Life and The Theory of Relativity ) and we feel we're in the perfect place to really dig into this story. We plan to spend our time here developing the piece to see if Diana's journey into the wildly unsettled world of 1969 will resonate with audiences who are experiencing the equally unsettled world of 2018. The similarities between this year and that are constantly surprising us, and we're likely to find more as we dive in deeper with our extraordinary cast and creative team.

In hindsight, it seems as though You Are Here has evolved into a companion piece to The Theory of Relativity—each looking at the changing world from opposite ends of the age spectrum.

AUTHORS' NOTESBy Brian Hill and Neil Bartram

Where We’ve BeenGoodspeed’s beginnings date back to 1963 when we opened our doors as a professional musical theatre in an historic building on the banks of the Connecticut River in East Haddam. Under the direction of Michael Price from 1968 to 2014, Goodspeed transformed from a struggling entity into a non-profit arts organization with a mission. At first, Goodspeed’s commitment was to discover rarely produced musicals from the repertoire, reworking them and bringing them to life. We were also intent on adding to the repertoire by discovering and nurturing promising new musicals presented at both The Goodspeed and The Terris Theatre in neighboring Chester.

In our history, we have produced over 250 musicals, including over 70 world premieres, and exported 21 productions to Broadway. Goodspeed stands as the first regional theatre in America to earn two special Tony Awards, one in 1980 for outstanding contributions to the American musical and a second in 1995 for distinguished achievement for a regional theatre.

Who We Are TodayGoodspeed Musicals mounts both new and newly revived musicals each year on our main stage at The Goodspeed in East Haddam and on our second stage, The Terris Theatre, in Chester–a total of more than 400 performances during the April to December season, attracting 130,000 patrons to the Connecticut River Valley. We stand at the forefront of producing and preserving the American musical, simultaneously reinventing the classics and inventing new ones. We attract well-known icons of the theatre world and foster emerging talent among composers, lyricists, and librettists. Each year, thousands of actors, directors, choreographers, and technicians aspire to come to Goodspeed to practice their craft. Among millions who know and love this art form–and those who appreciate its history and enduring appeal–Goodspeed is widely recognized as “The Home of the American Musical.”

Throughout the year, and intensively during the winter months, Goodspeed addresses issues unique to the field by offering innovative and highly-sought after programs through our Max Showalter Center for Education in Musical Theatre, including the celebrated Musical Theatre Institute providing programs for aspiring musical theatre professionals. The Arts Education Collaboration provides art-education programs for underserved Connecticut youth. The Festival of New Musicals features students from The Hartt School and the Boston Conservatory performing staged readings of three brand-new musicals, industry-related seminars, a symposium, and cabaret performances. Each winter, Goodspeed also hosts the Johnny Mercer Foundation Writers Colony that invites musical theatre writing teams to retreat from daily life for a four-week residency and concentrate solely on writing new musicals. In addition, Goodspeed serves as a resource for the preservation of the art form through our Scherer Library of Musical Theatre, the second most extensive musical theatre research library in the United States.

The Future We EnvisionThe Goodspeed campus will continue to serve as a thriving artist colony where the creative process informs the work on our stages and expanding educational programs. We aspire to serve as a safe haven where a singular commitment to discovery and innovation will enrich the field with the next generation of musical theatre artists.

A complete listing of past Goodspeed Musical productions can be found at www.goodspeed.org

ABOUT GOODSPEED MUSICALS


The Terris Theatre was inaugurated in 1984 by Goodspeed Musicals for the development of new musicals. The theatre is named in honor of the actress Norma Terris, star of Jerome Kern’s Show Boat and devoted patron and trustee of the Goodspeed Opera House during her later years.

Miss Terris began her stage career as a young vaudeville performer, which led to her first major role in George M. Cohan’s Little Nellie Kelly. She gained immortal acclaim as the creator of the roles of Magnolia and Kim in the original Florenz Ziegfeld 1927 production of Show Boat. After making two films for Fox, Married in Hollywood and Cameo Kirby, she starred for 10 seasons at the Municipal Opera Company in St. Louis.

Miss Terris first performed for Goodspeed audiences in the 1970 production of Little Mary Sunshine. She presided over the dedication of The Terris Theatre, and in 1987 she established the Norma Terris Fund to expand the talents of individuals and to foster the vitality, excellence, and diversity of musical theatre at The Terris Theatre. A beloved friend of the Goodspeed Opera House, Norma Terris is remembered for enriching the art of musical theatre with her beautiful voice, fine acting, and generous spirit.

The Terris Theatre formerly was a factory built in the early 1900s for Susan Bates, Inc., which became one of the largest manufacturers of knitting needles and needlework accessories. In 1982, after relocating to a larger facility, Susan Bates, Inc., donated its abandoned factory in Chester to the Goodspeed Opera House Foundation. An intimate 200-seat performing space, The Terris Theatre was fully renovated, opening its doors on July 10, 1984 with the new musical Harrigan ‘n’ Hart.

HISTORY OF THE TERRIS THEATRE

The mission of Goodspeed Musicals is to be the leader in preserving and producing musical theatre of the highest quality by:

• Rethinking, restoring, and producing works that are valued and significant in the history of musical theatre; • Developing new musical theatre works; • Nurturing the talents of new composers, lyricists, and librettists; • Encouraging and developing the talents of artists, technicians, and administrators; • Inspiring future audiences through education programs and outreach efforts; • Preserving and expanding the archival collections of its Scherer Library of Musical Theatre and making them available for professional use; • Maintaining the Goodspeed Opera House, a national historic landmark.
