Dear friend of Olney Theatre Center,

The joy of producing a new play hits the heart deeper and the spirit more fully than any other joy I feel as an artistic director. Of course, it’s great to get accolades for a fantastic musical or a visionary take on a classic… but to sit in the rehearsal room with the playwright, carving “beats” of action, helping her build an important story to its fullest emotional and intellectual potential surpasses the best parts of my job.

And when that playwright is Lauren Gunderson – a ferociously smart, fero-ciously big-hearted artist – the joy is unparalleled. The story Lauren is telling us today about Caroline and Anthony, two troubled teens who magically complete each other, enlivens us and, after 80 minutes, sends us back into the world with an enlarged capacity for empathy and a sense of spiritual order in the universe. I don’t know about you, but that’s something I could use right now.

So what about the joy of watching a new play as an audience member? This isn’t Death of a Salesman or Romeo and Juliet, so you’re not assured of a

masterpiece. I’ll get to the heart of it: why spend the money on something not already tried and true?

I’ll tell you why, at least from my point of view: if you’re a regular theatergoer, this art form has nourished you for years (perhaps decades!) and you know the power an amazing story told well, in the presence of others from your community, can have. You are here investing in the future of this art form: and in a time when more and more people cocoon themselves in electronic devices, behind digital walls, not joining the “public square” except on a comment board, is there any cultural activity more important? To bear witness to the evolution of our culture, to the stories we tell around the campfire about the greatest of topics – the drive for life in the face of death, the power of friendship to overcome the fear of the unknown?

And if you’re not a regular theatergoer? Think how thrilling it was to sit around the campfire hundreds of years ago and hear a story told for the first time… to know that you are one of a lucky few entrusted with its messages of hope and renewal, so maybe you can retell this story (in a version most personal to you) around another campfire, another time.

I’m so proud of Olney Theatre Center’s members, who make this kind of work possible. They know that the classics began as new plays; that big flashy musicals are one kind of story; and intimate plays, like I and You, another. And that each offers its audience a chance to rise above the everyday and reach for transcendence.

That’s what we’re striving for here at Olney Theatre Center, with every production. Will you drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know what you think?

Onward!

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

I’m in rehearsal as I write this, and each day I discover new and complex beauty in Lauren Gunderson’s shimmering new play. Within a seemingly simple story, Lauren asks the big questions that are at the heart of who we are. Her characters, Anthony and Caroline, stand at the cusp of life and death, searching for meaning and truth, confronting the ineffable. Isolated, suspicious, lonely, and insecure, they bravely forge a tenuous connection with each other and the world around them. And, in a stunning intersection of realism and the poetic, Lauren deftly heightens the rhythms of contemporary teenspeak and sets them side by side with the elegiac words of Walt Whitman to explore what lies beyond language, beyond expression.

Working on this, I think it’s a rare and stunning thing for a play to look at teenagers as something other than callow or quirky or self-involved, rarer still for the shifting and terrifying and transformative landscape of youth to hold meaning in our own adult lives. And yet, as the play explores these characters–burgeoning with life and promise, on the brink of “becoming,” capable of reinvention and grappling with a world too large to understand–it explores the essence of ourselves. For none of this has changed as we age, we just deal a little better. I think there’s still teenager inside of each of us wondering what will happen next. The world is still too big to know, we are still surrounded by mystery. And, perhaps, we too may still be capable of reinvention.

– Eleanor Holdridge

When I heard the learn’d astronomer;When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture room,How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

– Walt Whitman

Book by Lynn Ahrens • Music by Stephen Flaherty Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

Based on My Love, My Love by Rosa Guy

From the Tony Award©-winning creators of Ragtime and Seussical comes a glorious, Caribbean-infused family musical of enormous heart and magical wisdom. Set in Haiti in the early 20th Century, Island follows the story’s young heroine, Ti Moune, as she uses the power of love and storytelling to bring together a community torn apart by racial and economic difference. Full of capricious gods, island magic, and joyous dance numbers, Olney’s production is directed by Alan Muraoka, proprietor of Sesame Street’s Hooper’s Store since 1997.

“Whitman’s ‘I’ is not the ‘I’ of the introspective versifiers who write always and only about themselves. Rather it is the cosmic ‘I’ of all people who seek freedom, decency, and dignity, friendship, and equality between indi-viduals and races all over the world. In this atomic age of ours, when the ceaseless rings are multiplied a million fold, the Whitman spiral is outward toward a freer, better life for all, not narrowing downward toward death and destruction. Singing the greatness of the individual, Whitman also sings the greatness of unity, cooperation, and understanding. Certainly, his poems contain us all.”

– Langston Hughes

In 2013, the Oxford English Dictionary declared “Selfie” (that is, “a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website”) the word of the year. In a way, this choice is emblematic of an entire generation: the Millenials, so often described as lazy, entitled, self-centered, and addicted to virtual reality.

Like so many others of their generation, the two central figures of Lauren Gunderson’s new play have a constant desire to connect. Caroline especially, whose illness has limited her universe to the confines of her bedroom, yearns for human interaction; she even joins the trend of Instagramming artsy camera phone pictures in an effort to sound her “barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.”

This generational insularity seems worlds away from the lush, pastoral America that Walt Whitman painted more than a century ago, but he was accused of narcissism as well. Many of his contemporaries described Leaves of Grass as self-indulgent, a 52-part declaration of his physical and spiritual miraculousness. The very title of the longest poem in the collection, “Song of Myself” (initially titled “Walt Whitman”) exudes egocentrism, and he continues this self-cel-ebration throughout the piece.

“I” is not the only character in Whitman’s story, however. The poem traffics all of America, narrating stories of everyone he meets along the way, from the gray-headed printer to the bride unrumpling her dress. Whitman praises himself, certainly, but it is hardly narcissism; in his language, love of self is synonymous with love of humanity, nature, and all of life. In true transcendentalist fashion, Whitman believed in his own beauty, but also in the interconnected beauty of “You” and “We.” He and an entire generation of writers–Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Louisa Mae Alcott–turned away from the constraints of modern society and back to the purity of nature, asserting that the divinity of man was rooted in his relation to the world around him.

When Anthony invades Caroline’s isolated world with a poster board and book of poems, “Song of Myself” is just anoth-er class project: the verse is completely out of their reach, the archaic and lofty language of someone centuries dead. As Anthony and Caroline’s partnership develops, however, the transcendence of Whitman’s philosophy begins to unfold. His words speak not only of how their humanity makes them unique, but also how it makes them one and the same. Gunderson’s story does not transport its characters across the sweeping landscape of 19th-century America, yet, like Caroline’s artistic fascination with minutiae and Whitman’s ability to see the universe in a single blade of grass, the inti-mate story of I and You contains multitudes. As Whitman’s “I” fuses with everyone he meets, so Anthony and Caroline learn to unite over the mysticism of cat pictures, jazz, pop tarts, and ultimately, life, death, and rebirth.
