DIRECTOR'S NoTES
Only twice in my directing career have I had the good fortune to know a
playwright at the same time I am directing his play. Interestingly enough, both plays
were Holocaust dramas. The first was Bent in 1981, and the playwright, Martin
Sherman was invaluable with his help in interpreting his script. The other is Edith
Stein. Arthur Giron, one of the kindest and most patient of men has put himself
completely at my disposal. He has tolerated phone calls at any and all times when I
have been struggling with a scene or wasn't trusting my instincts, and he met with my
actors and others when we visited New York this past March. Mr. Giron's passion for
the theatre and his work in it is inspiring.
I was made aware of this play when my colleague, Craig Humphrey, who had
worked on the first production at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, brought it to my
attention. He felt it was a play with which I would find a great connection. How right
he was! Mr. Giron refers to his experience with Edith Stein as being "like a sweater."
This, as I understand it, stems from a Guatemalan folk tale told to him by his mother.
The tale goes that when Jesus was a baby his mother knitted him a sweater. As he grew
up, the sweater miraculously grew with him. So my experience with Edith Stein, the
woman, and Edith Stein, the play, has been for me. As I have grown from my research
and work on the play, the play has grown with me. Edith Stein was, and continues to
be, an enigma. I have found that there is no easy single answer to her ambiguity and
this is one of the most challenging and absorbing issues of this play.
Another challenge of this play and a great part of my ongoing study and research
is the Holocaust. It is a very powerful topic. It demands that artists who create
Holocaust drama must be faithful to history and to the millions that died. Its presence
in memory has not only lasted, but has grown in force and authority and the artist
must approach the subject with an inordinate amount of seriousness and care. As
Lawrence Langer says in the first chapter of The Holocaust and the Literary
Imagination, "The task of the artist is to find a style and a form to present the
atmosphere or landscape of atrocity, to make it compelling, to coax the reader into
credulity-and ultimately, complicity." Simply, it involves dealing with the greatest
ethical questions we can ever face. The Holocaust experience challenges us to define in
the most personal terms the nature of good and evil in the world and in ourselves. I
believe that Arthur Giron has done that in his writing and I can only hope that I have
risen to the occasion with my directing of his wonderful play.

.ABoUT THE PlAYWRIGHT
Playwright and educator Arthur Giron was named "One of our best contemporary
dramatists" by critic Rosette LaMont in the publication Stages. Giron's plays are
performed continuously throughout the country. His play Becoming Memories won a
Los Angeles Critics Drama-Logue Award for Outstanding Achievement in Writing
and has been seen in more than 60 cities thus far. His play Edith Stein broke the box
office record for a serious play at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre. When it premiered at
The Jewish Repertory Theatre, The New York Times described it as being "filled with
passionate ideas."
Earlier this year, New York saw Giron's play Boy Dies Dancing Mambo at The HB
Playwrights Foundation, and later this season there will be a New York production of
A Dream ofWealth, his mythic play about the conquest of Guatemala by Banana
Cowboys. The play was originally commissioned by The New York Shakespeare
Festival and was further developed by E.S.T., which produced his plays Innocent
Pleasure and Money. The Arte Publico Press of the University of Houston published
Money in its anthology Necessary Theatre: Six Plays About the Chicano Experience.
Giron's other plays include Charley Bacon and His Family (which starred Jonathan
Hadary and Lea Thompson) and Dirty jokes (which starred Michael Moriarty and
Matthew Cowles). He recently completed the libretto for a bilingual opera The Golden
Guitar, which was commissioned by The Metropolitan Opera Guild.
His new play, Morning Bodies, is about physicist Richard Fezonman. It opened in
New York this spring.
While he was the head of the Graduate Playwriting Program at Carnegie Mellon
University, Giron received The Hornbostel Award for Teaching Excellence.
Arthur Giron's visit is funded in part by the
Indiana-Purdue Student Government Association.

SETTING:
The play takes place in the Carmelite convent outside the gates of Auschwitz in
1987. Simultaneously, we travel to various locations throughout Germany during
the years following the first World War to 1942.
This play was inspired by Edith Stein. It is not a documentary depiction of her
life, but an attempt to dramatize the conflicts she faced. Nevertheless, every care
has been taken to select key moments in her life and to fathom her essential nature
in theatrical terms. This has necessitated the severe compression of time and the
addition of fictional characters to complement the important persons who actually
interacted with her.
Edith always said she loved the theatre. She, herself, wrote skits for family
celebrations and performed in them. Even in the convent she continued to write
short plays, and we are told, wore a red wig over her nun's headdress while in a
convent play. We follow her into the theatre now.
There will be one 15-minute intermission.

Campaign for the Arts
The Department ofTheatre seeks your assistance in the School of
Visual and Performing Arts Campaign for the Arts. Our mission is
four-fold: to offer the academic degree programs most in demand by
area citizens; to provide the northeastern Indiana region with
exceptionally high-quality theatrical performances by students,
faculty, and community members; to offer to the community various
theatrical services, such as student matinees and theatre training
through the Community Arts Academy; to provide a continuum of
outreach activities to the greater northeastern Indiana community.
Our vision is to be widely recognized as the major theatre resource
center for the Greater Fort Wayne and northeastern Indiana
communities. To meet this challenge, we need your help!
IPFW is a state-assisted-not state-supported--university.
Furthermore, we are allocated only about one-half of the state dollars
that the main campuses receive per student. This in turn directly
impacts the theatre department with severe budgetary constraints.
Your dollars are essential to help us move forward with our
commitments to northeastern Indiana.
Should you be interested in helping to financially support us in our
mission, please contact Larry L. Life, chair and artistic director of the
Department ofTheatre, at 219-481-6551. Your contribution will
enable us in our mission to keep our academic programs current,
continue diversity in theatre programming, and maintain our
commitment to northeastern Indiana through our service and
outreach activities.

Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by Oscar Hammerstein II and
Joshua Logan
Based on James Michener's 1947 Pulitzer
Prize-winning Tales of the South Pacific,
this multi-prize winner including Pulitzer
Prize for Drama, New York Critics Circle
Award for Best Musical, eight Tony
Awards including Best Musical, Book
and Score, nine Donaldson Awards, and
an Academy Award, is the most beloved
of all Rodgers and Hammerstein's work.
Set in an island paradise during World
War II, two parallel love stories are
threatened by the dangers of prejudice
and war. South Pacific has some of
Rodgers and Hammerstein's greatest
songs including "Some Enchanted
Evening," "There Is Nothin' Like a
Dame," "Bali Hai," "Younger than
Springtime," and ''I'm Gonna Wash
That Man Right Out of My Hair." This
is a show for the entire family that has
continued to delight audiences of all
ages over the years.

IIIIS::IIB
By August Strindberg
One the most produced modern plays,
Miss julie has been filmed at least five
times and has been televised. This
profoundly compelling play explores the
dream-like and fairytale quality that is
part of reality. It is concerned with the
problem of, as Strindberg says, "social
climbing or falling, of higher or lower,
better or worse, man or woman." The
play deals with the struggle for
dominance between Miss Julie and Jean,
and characterizes Miss Julie as a woman
forced to wreak vengeance on herself.

~~~tEIIIRJliSs!:
By Eugene O'Neill
A heart-warming holiday show for the
entire family, Ah, Wilderness! Is a true
piece of Americana. In a small town in
1906 lives an ordinary American family.
They are average folk, faced by average
problems, and have the strength to solve
them. What concerns them most is the
youthful fervor of Richard, who is a high
school senior and rebel. He is also
passionately in love with a neighbor's girl
and means to marry her. The scraps of
Swinburne verse that he sends to her
alarm her father, who forces her to break
with Richard in good melodramatic style.
After everything is eventually settled quite
naturally, the father and mother begin to
remember that once they were young.

B.llll:tll!lllil
By Federico Garcia Lorca
This powerfully passionate tragedy ranks
in tender pathos with Romeo and juliet.
The play tells ofThe Mother who has
lost, in feuds with the Felix family, all her
manfolk except her youngeSt son, The
Bridegroom. With many forebodings,
The Mother arranges a wedding for her
only remaining son with The Bride,
beloved of Leonardo, son of the rival
Felix Family. Written by Spain's greatest
modern playwright, Bwod Wedding is
both poetic and starkly imagistic. It is
concerned with the forces of life and
death and rings with universal
significance. Not only is there a sense
that feminine and masculine are in tragic
opposition to each other, but the land is a
symbol of the natural forces of life in
contrast to the imposed morality of the
city and the neighbors.

WILLIAMS THEATRE
By Eric Overmyer
A frolicsome jaunt through a continuum
of space, time, history, geography,
feminism, and fashion. On the verge takes
its audience on a mirthful safari as three
Victorian ladies set out on an adventure
that takes them to darkest Africa, highest
Himalaya, and Terra Incognita. The
three sister sojurners, each a prototypical
Victorian lady explorer equipped with
dialogue as pithy as their helmets, thwack
their machetes through the wilderness
while telling tales of past jaunts among
the natives. As intrepid travelers, they put
the lie to any charge that they are
representatives of a weaker sex. In their
kaleidoscopic adventure, they journey
through a rainforest of hundreds of
artifacts from the future.

011.:\\IB.IIDBJ
By William Shakespeare
Fantastical, improbable, and sweetly
foolish, Shakespeare's most tightly
structured play is the middle-aged
dramatist's final vision of his art. All the
great Shakespearean themes come
together: theatrical illusion and its
relation to life, the conflict between
appearance and reality, and the discovery
of the self. This production promises to
be a spectacular show for the entire
family filled with special effects. The
Tempest reassures us on a deep, almost
subconscious level that whatever is
precious can never be completely lost.
Through magic, endings are turned into
beginnings as Shakespeare continually
reminds us that we are watching
transient shadows.
" .... We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
The Tempest will feature Fort Wayne actor
and invited Community Guest Artist
James R. Clauser in the role of Prospera.

Vtm Gogh: Face to Face is the first comprehensive museum exhibition
devoted exclusively to Vincent Van Gogh's achievements in portraiture. It
explores the full range of his portrait activity-from his earliest drawings
and character studies to his numerous self-portraits and likenesses of
friends-and spana the entire course of his brief but intense career.
The exhibition, organized chronologically, is divided equally between
drawings and paintings. The majority of the drawings date from early in
Van Gogh's career, when he was still working in his native Netherlands
before going to France. These drawings, of the urban poor and peasants,
were more studies of character types than likenesses of specific people.
