Dear friend of Olney Theatre Center,

I got my first theater job 24 years ago: running the t-shirt concession at New York’s Shakespeare in the Park. It was the summer that Morgan Freeman and Tracy Ullman starred in The Taming of the Shrew, and Denzel Washington played Richard III. Whenever I wasn’t selling t-shirts, posters, buttons and other tschotchkes that summer, I was listening and learning. Every night I heard amazing war stories from the artists and technicians who brought Shakespeare’s text to life. And every night I watched thousands of New York-ers from every background imaginable engage with a 400-year old play. It was electrifying.

So when I came to Olney Theatre Center last year, and watched our commu-nity respond so heartily to the National Players’ Comedy of Errors, I knew immediately we had to expand our outdoor Shakespeare productions. With the help of our great benefactor Maggi Root (you’re sitting right now at the Root Family Stage), we’re doing just that.

Who are the National Players? The 65-year old National Players are the heart of Olney Theatre Center’s educational programs. Each year, ten recent graduates of theater training programs come to Olney for a summer of intensive learning and rehearsal. At summer’s end, they pack up sets and costumes for three plays and tour them all over the country. Over two million patrons here and abroad have seen the Players; they’ve performed from a prison in South Dakota to the East Wing of the White House, and hundreds of places in between.

In expanding our production this year, we’ve paired five young actors who have just completed Tour 65 with some of the area’s best-loved professionals – all of whom happen to be National Players alumni. Alan Wade (Tours 20 and 23), Paul Morella (Tour 30), Craig Wallace (Tour 42), Ian LeValley (Tour 43), Julie-Ann Elliott (Tour 44), Ryan Mitchell (Tour 59) and Dan Van Why (Tour 59) are mentoring these younger actors as they make the transition from college to a thriving professional career. And they’re telling lots of war stories along the way.

The Tempest is in part about passing knowledge from one generation to the next. That kind of mentorship lies deep in Olney Theatre Center’s DNA, and I see that same generosity of spirit in our community.

I’m delighted to have met so many of you in person and via email. Will you drop me a line [email protected] and let me know what you think of the show?

Onward!

Sure to be the “must-see” new play of 2014, COLOSSAL is an extraordinary story of emotional and physical endurance, love, and family. Structured like a football game (performed in four quarters with a pre-show training session and half-time show), COLOSSAL tells in vivid, physical flashback the story of young Mike, a college football player who took a hit in a game that left him in a wheelchair. Mike now relives the memory of his accident with the help of a live nine-person football squad onstage, finally confronting his demons in the play’s extremely powerful and uplifting conclusion. Featuring Michael Patrick Thornton, star of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy spin-off Private Practice. Winner of The Kennedy Center’s Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award. Recommended for ages 14 and up.

http://olneytheatre.org/shows-a-events/colossal


Despite its resounding popularity, the most enduring and heated debate surrounding Shakespeare’s celebrated tragicomedy is a simple one: What is The Tempest about? His last independently written play, The Tempest is not only one of the playwright’s most enchanting and heartwarming stories, but one of his most ambiguous as well. In fact, as the introduction to the Arden edition points out, despite its “unique panoply of visual wonders, very little happens” in The Tempest.

When looked at through a wider lens, however, this little play offers much more than magic spells and masques: it is en emblem for an entire period of discovery and enlightenment, seen through the eyes of one incredibly powerful and conflicted political figure. Prospero’s craft is rarely referred to as magic; it is more often called his Art, capitalized in the Folio edition where the play was first printed. Prospero’s powers are more than incantations and drawings in a book; they are his life’s work, the culmination of years of study, and not only in spell casting—like any good magus of his time, Prospero was learned in the entire spectrum of Renaissance studies, from mathematics and astronomy to music and literature.

Prospero is, in many ways, the quintessential Renaissance magus. Complete with a robe, hat, and magic staff, he not only looked the part, but he embodied it as well. The great Early Modern occultists valued knowledge over worldly pleasures, and often isolated themselves from society altogether to perfect their craft; they were respected, often renowned, for their wisdom and understanding of the natural world (even Queen Elizabeth I consulted the famed magus John Dee for astrological advice); and they were proud of their Art, which was once defined by the famous magus Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa as, “the most profound contemplation of the most secret things, their nature, power, quality, substance, and virtues, as well as the knowledge of their whole nature.”

Unfortunately for Agrippa and his contemporaries, this definition was under immense scrutiny during the Early Modern period. In fact, only a few years before The Tempest was first staged, King James I ascended the English throne and denounced magic of all forms, denouncing magi as elitist, prideful, and blasphemous. According to James and other critics, the magus’ insatiable quest for knowledge challenged God’s very order of the universe.

The English populous was more conflicted than their leader. Although many argued against it, magic was still a popular form of street entertainment, and the magus remained a beloved theatrical stock character. Most magi renounced their powers to avoid political persecution during James’ reign, but many clung to the assertion that their work was for the greater good.

Prospero was, therefore, much more than an excuse to play with theatrical special effects. He was at the center of heated political and social debate, the crux of an enormous philosophical question: How much knowledge is too much? When does it begin to tip the balance between understanding and upending the natural world?

Unlike other popular playwrights who used magi characters as social commentary, Shakespeare does not attempt to answer these questions, nor does he take any larger political stance in his play. Instead, As Prospero struggles to draw the line between control and tyranny, altruism and pride, Shakespeare demonstrates that the debate over occultism was less a political than moral conflict; rather, it was a societal reflection of a much larger and enduring philosophical dilemma.

Critics are right in observing that narratively, this is one of Shakespeare’s simplest plays. But for Prospero, it is much more than a circuitous revenge plot; The Tempest is an moral and emotional journey, as a magus, father, artist, philosopher, and ultimately, human.

William Shakespeare (Playwright) Despite being history’s most produced and studied English playwright, little is known of William Shakespeare’s life. One of six siblings, Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on or about April 23, 1564. He married Anne Hathaway in 1582 and had three children. For the seven years after, Shakespeare fell off all record. Eventually, he arose in London and joined The Lord Chamberlain’s Men acting troupe. In 1603, when the troupe came into King James’ favor, they officially became The King’s Men.

Shakespeare’s professional days are a mixture of fact and legend. In 1601, he and his business partners purchased property on the south bank of London’s Thames River, where they established the Globe Theatre. There, the acting company performed many of Shakespeare’s 37 plays. Famed for using the iambic pentameter writing style, Shake-speare’s works are deep in metaphor, illusion, and character; sometimes taking precedence over plot. A diverse

playwright, he began his career writing historical plays, bawdy comedies, and the occasional tragedy. Later in life, his plays became more structurally complex, featuring his iconic Hamlet and Macbeth and the curious tragicomedies Cymbeline and The Tempest.

William Shakespeare died on or about April 23rd, 1616, and is interred at a chapel in Stratford-upon-Avon. A century after his death, questions began to arise; his birthdate, deathdate, and even the spelling of his name are in question. No definitive portrait exists of the man, and no government record lists his theatric profession. Many scholars have questioned the ability of a minimally educated man to create such challenging writing. Some theorists have long held that “Shakespeare” was a nom de plume for another playwright, nobleman, or even collection of writers. However, the vast majority of scholars believe that unofficial documentation provides proof of Shakespeare’s existence and prolific abilities. Regardless, Shakespeare’s plays have been translated to 118 languages and are now in constant production around the world. Jason King Jones (Director) is Associate Artistic Director, Director of Education, and Artistic Director of National Players here at Olney Theatre Center. For the Players, he has directed Romeo and Juliet and Animal Farm for Tour 64, Of Mice and Men for Tour 63 and The Comedy of Errors and a new adaptation of The Odyssey for Tour 65. As an Artistic Associate at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, Jason has directed The Servant of Two Masters, The Comedy of Errors, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Merry Wives of Windsor, and The Grouch, along with nearly a dozen abridged classical plays for their educational touring companies. Other directing credits include Peer Gynt (InCite Arts Festival), Fallujah (Kennedy Center/ACTF), A Number (Whistler in the Dark), Murdering Marlowe (In Actu Theatre), Twelfth Night (Shakespeare Center Los Angeles), The Women of Lockerbie and The Good Daughter (NJ REP), The Rainmaker and The Brothers Karamazov (12 Miles West), Antony & Cleopatra (Expanded Arts), and Master Harold ... and the boys (Public Theatre of Kentucky). As a Guest Artist, Jason has directed The Rivals (UAB), Pride and Prejudice (Fairleigh Dickinson), Women of Troy (Purdue), The Caucasian Chalk Circle and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Nebraska Wesleyan). He has taught courses at Boston University, New York’s TVI Actor’s Studio, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Missouri State.
