SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY
BEGINS JANUARY 26
presents
The National Theatre of
Scotland’s production of
BLACK
WATCH
by Gregory Burke
directed by John Tiffany
January 26–February 6, 2011
Sidney Harman Hall
“It’s essential that you
see Black Watch.”
New York Observer
Hurtling from a pool room in Scotland to an armored wagon in Iraq, Black Watch
is based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who
served in Iraq. Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch
reveals what it means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it
means to be part of the war on terror and what it means to make the journey
home again. John Tiffany’s production from the National Theatre of Scotland
makes powerful and inventive use of movement and music to create a visceral,
complex and urgent piece of theatre.
This production of Black Watch launches its U.S. tour at the Shakespeare Theatre
Company, having played to universal acclaim in Australia, New Zealand, London,
Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Edinburgh and more.
Runtime is 1 hour 50 minutes long with no
intermission. Black Watch contains very strong
language, loud explosions and strobe lighting.
Recommended for audiences 13 years and older.
Special notice for stage seating: Due to the
highly physical nature of the performance, there
will be absolutely no late seating for these seat
locations. If you need to leave during the show
you must be escorted by an usher and will not
be allowed to re-enter the show.

Cymbeline
William Shakespeare's
directed by Rebecca Bayla Taichman
January 18–March 6, 2011
Lansburgh Theatre
The Taming of the Shrew
Cymbeline marks the return of
director Rebecca Bayla Taichman,
whose recent Twelfth Night
was “gorgeously romantic… as
brand new as a first kiss” (The
Downtowner), and whose The Taming of
the Shrew found “a satisfying quantity of
heart in a play that can be made to seem
merely playful” (Washington City Paper).
The Shakespeare Theatre Company premiere
of Cymbeline follows Imogen on her search
for reconciliation against the backdrop of a
colorful and magical journey. Forbidden love,
mistaken identities, banishment and a magic
potion—Shakespeare combines multiple
styles in this endlessly inventive fairy tale.

Beyond the Sea
Candide has become a theatrical
classic, but like its title character, it
has navigated a long and surprising
journey to achieve that status. It is
the result of the collaboration across
centuries between two iconoclastic
artists: the French writer known as
Voltaire, and the American composer
Leonard Bernstein. Both combined the
instincts of showman and philosopher
to create a work that entertains
even as it takes on some of the most
strongly-held human ideals.
Candide’s voyage began on a quiet
Sunday in November of 1755 in
Lisbon, Portugal. Most of the citizens
sat peacefully in church to observe
All Saints Day. Suddenly, their
prayers and calm were shattered; an
earthquake, followed by a devastating
tsunami, all but wiped one of the
great cities of Europe off the map
within minutes. Upon hearing news
of the disaster, Voltaire took it as
evidence of life’s unpredictability:
“what a game of chance human
life is,” he wrote to a friend. But
other philosophers went further in
explaining Lisbon’s fate: the thinkers
called Optimists believed that
everything God did was for the best;
and the English Protestant reformer
John Wesley saw the deaths of so
many devout Catholics as proof of
“the hand of the Almighty, arising to
maintain his own cause.”
Voltaire struck back as only he could.
His Poem on the Destruction of Lisbon
took special aim at the English writer
Alexander Pope, who had declared
in the 1730s that “whatever is, is
right.” Would a God who intended
all for the best deliberately cause so
much suffering, Voltaire asked? The
problem, he decided, lay not with acts
of God but with the acts of humans
who thought they understood his will.
“Do we know all the ways of God?” he
would later write in his 1763 Treatise
on Tolerance. “Must every individual
usurp the rights of Divinity?” His
solution? “The fewer dogmas,
the fewer disputes,” he declared.
“And the fewer disputes, the fewer
misfortunes.”

Three years later, a different kind
of earthquake rocked Europe: a
slim volume by a German doctor
named Ralph. Immediately banned
in Paris and Geneva and placed on
the Vatican’s list of forbidden books,
Candide became a sensation, selling
thirty thousand copies in its first year
alone. What made it so controversial?
Candide follows the journeys of an
innocent young man through a series
of calamities (including the Lisbon
earthquake), each of which challenges
his Optimist tutor’s maxim that “all is
for the best in this best of all possible
worlds.” But as Candide faces mostly
man-made disasters, the book skewers
every sacred institution in Europe:
religious and political authority,
marriage, war and commerce.
Voltaire’s writing style and antidogmatic thinking were unmistakable
in the work of “Doctor Ralph.”
Instead of criticizing his targets
with the anger that marked his
poem about Lisbon, however,
Voltaire employed a surprising tactic
in Candide. Calling the work his
“schoolboy jest,” he used humor to
ridicule the human certainty that
led to so much evil. On its surface,
Candide imitated the conventions of
the popular romantic novels of the
1730s and 1740s; underneath that
surface flowed a river of acid, burning
up all pieties and dogmas that stood
in its way. And Voltaire was an
equal opportunity satirist, ridiculing
pessimists for their rigid dogma as
readily as he did optimists.
Two centuries after the earthquake,
Leonard Bernstein took up Voltaire’s
mantle for a new age. Candide was
suggested as source material by his
friend Lillian Hellman, who saw in the
novel a mirror of her own experiences
on the Hollywood blacklist after she
refused to name names to the House
Un-American Activities Committee.
But far from creating a heavy-handed
political satire, Bernstein followed
Voltaire’s example and wrote one
of the most sublimely entertaining
scores of the American musical
theatre. The music brims with wit and
verve, remaining refreshingly original
even as it parodies other operas
and musicals. It travels from aria to
patter song to chorale as briskly as its
characters journey from land to land.
The original cast recording became a
best-seller soon after its appearance
in 1957, and Bernstein’s melodies
have found enduring popularity in the
more than fifty years since.
Candide became a labor of love for
Bernstein; “there’s more of me in
that piece than anything else I have
ever done,” he later told a friend. He
continued to revise and rearrange
the piece for more than thirty years
after its first appearance, completing
his “final version” only two years
before he died. Many talented artists
have contributed to Candide along
its journey, from the lyricists John
Latouche, Richard Wilbur, Stephen
Sondheim and Dorothy Parker, to
playwrights like Hellman, Hugh
Wheeler, John Caird, and now Mary
Zimmerman. These writers have
followed the path set by Voltaire and
by Bernstein, each adding their own
variation to the timeless story and
music at the heart of Candide. The
journey that began in 1755 continues
in our time and beyond.

About the Playwright
Voltaire
Voltaire was born François-Marie Arouet in Paris in 1694,
the youngest child of François Arouet, a minor treasury
official, and Marie Marguerite d’Aumart. Following a proper
Jesuit education, his father sent him to study law. But the
younger Arouet was determined to become a writer and
soon developed a following of admirers of his audacious
wit. Again father tried to steer son toward respectable
employment, so François-Marie moved to the Netherlands
as a secretary for the French ambassador. His father
squashed an attempted elopement there and recalled
François-Marie to Paris.
Arouet was welcomed into Parisian literary society, but his propensity for offending those
in power quickly led to trouble. Within a year his satirical poem about the Prince Regent
led to a brief exile. By the time his punishment ended, his name had been attributed to
enough politically satirical works that he served a sentence in the Bastille for pieces he had
not written. Upon his release, he rearranged the letters in his name “Arouet the younger”
to create his famous nom de plume: Voltaire.
Known already as a poet, essayist, historian and satirist, the newly minted Voltaire
established his reputation as playwright with the 1718 debut of Oedipe. He also began
work on an epic poem praising France’s King Henri IV for ending civil war and for religious
tolerance. Another arrest, this time for offending a young aristocrat from a powerful family,
led to a two-year exile to England in 1726.
In England, Voltaire encountered the works of Isaac Newton and John Locke, whose
writings would influence his work in science and philosophy. Voltaire also began Letters
Concerning the English Nation, a collection of his views on the British political structure,
literature and religion. Voltaire’s preference of England’s constitutional monarchy over the
French system of government caused such uproar that he again fled Paris for his mistress’
home in Cirey. In this haven, Voltaire amassed a library of more than 20,000 volumes and
continued to write extensively. When his mistress died in 1749, Voltaire spent time at the
court of Frederick II of Prussia, whom he considered the ideal enlightened monarch. But he
could not resist a literary quarrel and enraged the king by publishing a satirical pamphlet.
Voltaire’s most famous work was inspired by the devastating Lisbon earthquake of 1755—
his short satirical masterpiece Candide, or Optimism (1759), which showed his growing
dissatisfaction with Leibniz’s philosophy of Optimism. The philosophy’s main tenet is that
everything is for the best because God is benevolent.
Voltaire’s youthful dissatisfaction with the justice system returned with a vengeance. He
spent his final years as champion for those he felt unfairly punished, especially in cases of
religious persecution. By his death in 1778, Voltaire’s criticisms of European civilization and
organized religion had angered so many people that he was denied Christian burial. But by
the time of the French Revolution, he was seen as a pioneer of the cause and his remains
were reburied with great ceremony in the Panthéon.

Honoring
The HRH Foundation and
Helen Lee Henderson
The Shakespeare Theatre Company is
proud to honor The HRH Foundation and its
Executive Director, Helen Lee Henderson,
with the 2010 Sidney Harman Award for
Philanthropy in the Arts. The award, which
was presented at the Harman Center
for the Arts Annual Gala on October 3,
2010, recognizes those who believe in
the essential role that the arts play in our
society, the ability of the arts to transform
and transcend our lives and the capacity of
the arts to reflect our society—as Hamlet
says, “to hold as ‘twere a mirror up
to nature.”
As a Penn State University student,
Helen’s grandfather founded a drum and
bugle corps that grew into the Penn State
Blue Band, now recognized as one of the
finest marching bands in the country. Her
mother, Helen Ruth Henderson, studied
voice and musical composition at the
Pennsylvania College for Women and was
on the board of the Pittsburgh Opera and
Pittsburgh Symphony.
With this family background, it is no surprise
that Helen herself developed a love of the
arts. She holds a BFA in Costume Design
from Carnegie Mellon University and a
Master’s degree in Technical Theatre from
the University of Pittsburgh. Helen worked
at theatres around the country, from Box
Office Manager to Executive Director. She
co-produced the London production of
Sugar Babies with Mickey Rooney and Ann
Miller and served on theatre boards up and
down the East Coast.
In 1995, Helen moved to Washington, D.C.
Two years later, her mother established The
HRH Foundation to support the visual and
performing arts. When her mother passed
away, Helen became Executive Director.

Warren Beatty at the Harman Center for the Arts Annual Gala.
Photo by Kevin Allen.
Helen’s philanthropy in the arts in
Washington began modestly: with a $50
membership gift to the Kennedy Center.
She has gone on to support more than
15 major projects at the Kennedy Center,
including the landmark Sondheim
Celebration and several international
festivals. Along with Adrienne Arsht, she
underwrote Arts in Crisis, which provided
support to arts organizations across America
suffering from the economic downturn.
The HRH Foundation has sponsored 19 film
projects at the National Gallery of Art and
has been a major underwriter at Signature
Theatre, including sponsorship of many
Sondheim musicals.
Helen made a modest gift to STC’s Academy
for Classical Acting in 2003, followed by a
very generous contribution to the Harman
Center campaign. The first STC show she
sponsored was Michael Kahn’s hit production
of Love’s Labor’s Lost, which traveled to
Stratford-upon-Avon as a part of the Royal
Shakespeare Company’s Complete Works
Festival. Next, she sponsored Richard III,
one of the highlights of the Shakespeare in
Washington festival. She has also sponsored
the productions of As You Like It, The
Imaginary Invalid and our current production
of Candide.

Shakespeare Theatre Company
In his 24th season with the Shakespeare Theatre
Company, Artistic Director Michael Kahn, together with
the Company’s artists, staff and Board of Trustees,
continues to fulfill the Company’s ambition to become
the country’s leading force in the presentation and
preservation of classic theatre. The Shakespeare
Theatre Company enjoys national and international
renown as “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare
company” (The Wall Street Journal) producing “a
repertory of classics that no New York theatre of
similar size and scale can match” (The New York
Times). The Company’s noted company of classical
actors regularly includes such distinguished guest
artists as Jane Alexander, Elizabeth Ashley, Avery
Brooks, Kathleen Chalfant, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Keir
Dullea, Jonathan Hadary, Harry Hamlin, Hal Holbrook,
Tom Hulce, Stacy Keach, Sabrina LeBeauf, Jean
LeClerc, Judith Light, Victor Love, Marsha Mason, Kelly
McGillis, Patrick Page, Jean Stapleton, Patrick Stewart,
Richard Thomas, Joan van Ark, Geraint Wyn Davies and
Karen Ziemba.
The 2010-2011 season features three plays by
Shakespeare: All’s Well That Ends Well, Cymbeline and
The Merchant of Venice. In addition, STC is producing
the glittering musical Candide, Harold Pinter’s Old
Times and Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. This fall
we also enjoy the tremendous versatility of Sidney
Harman Hall, which plays host to a variety of art forms.
VelocityDC—our second annual showcase for dance
–returned in October, along with the second season
of NT Live, a series of performances broadcast in HD
from London’s National Theatre. Live performances
include The Great Game: Afghanistan, one of the most
exciting works of theatre to come out of London in
recent years, and Black Watch.
Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All
Started in 1991 to engage new and diverse audiences,
the Free For All has presented free Shakespeare to
approximately 575,000 area residents. Its contribution
to the community has been recognized with both The
Washington Post Distinguished Service Award and the
Public Humanities Award from the Humanities Council
of Washington, D.C. The move to Sidney Harman
Hall increased the Metro-accessibility of the event,
prevents weather-related cancellations and allows the
Shakespeare Theatre Company to maintain the artistic
integrity of Free For All productions thanks to the
state-of-the-art capabilities of Sidney Harman Hall. The
change in venues also allows the Company to host a
variety of family-friendly events to coincide with Free
For All performances. For additional information on the
change, please visit ShakespeareTheatre.org.
Education
Consistent with the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s
central mission—to be the leading force in producing
and preserving the highest quality classic theatre—
28
the Education Department is positioned as both a
local and national resource. We strive to deepen the
understanding of, appreciation of and connection
to classic theatre in diverse learners of all ages
through accessible programs that celebrate multiple
perspectives. The education programs of STC challenge
all learners to explore the ideas, emotions and
principles contained in classic texts and to discover the
correlations between classic theatre and our modern
perceptions. We seek to fulfill this mission through
strengthening our collaborations with schools and
other organizations locally and nationally, engaging
in scholarly dialogue with community and audience
members and increasing our use of technology. Text
Alive!, a curriculum enrichment program, works with
public school teachers in D.C., Virginia and Maryland
to make Shakespeare and his works accessible
to young audiences. ShakesPEERS, a community
outreach initiative, provides a nurturing environment
during non-school hours for young people from the
D.C. public schools to explore their creative voices
through a foundation of collaboration, craftsmanship,
citizenship and community. With its broad range
of programs—including Classics in the Classroom,
Students for Shakespeare, Windows, Master Acting
Classes, Professional Internships, SHAKESPEARIENCE,
Re:ACT and Theatre History Initiative—the Company’s
Education Department is an innovative and creative
community resource.
Academy for Classical Acting
Designed for working actors, midstream in their
careers, the Academy for Classical Acting is a one-year
immersion program with an exceptional number of
contact hours between students and professional
faculty. Under the guidance of Michael Kahn and
with an MFA degree accredited through The George
Washington University, the ACA teaches actors how
to integrate the emotional, physical and imaginative
life of a role with the technical skills needed to
express to the fullest Shakespeare’s dramatic texts
as well as many other classical playwrights. During
11 months of intensive study, ACA training includes
voice, speech, acting, text, mask, Alexander Technique,
movement, clown and stage combat. Since 2001, ACA
has graduated more than 100 actors who are now
performing on stages in New York, Washington, D.C.
and across the country.
Annual Support
Donors make a difference. Ticket revenue and other
earned income account for just over 60 percent of
the Company’s $17 million operating budget. It is only
with the ongoing generous support of more than 300
corporations, foundations and public agencies—along
with more than 3,000 individuals—that the Company
can fulfill its mission as the nation’s leading force in
producing and preserving classical theatre.

Affiliated Artists
For several years, the Shakespeare Theatre Company has referred to a number of its recurring actors as Company
Members. These are artists to whom the theatre has made a long-term commitment because of the depth and
range of their talent, and who have come to consider STC as an artistic home.
In addition to actors, there are also directors and designers to whom STC is similarly committed. These
artists are also crucial to the production process, and the theatre wants to recognize their dedication to the
work of STC. STC has widened its notion of “company” by crediting a select group of actors, directors and
designers as Affiliated Artists.
This Affiliated Artists program renews STC’s commitment to those actors who have been the cornerstone of the
theatre’s work for years, while also formally acknowledging the theatre’s relationship with other artists whose work
has contributed immeasurably to the excellence of STC’s productions. The theatre is incredibly grateful to these
Affiliated Artists and looks forward to continuing to produce the finest classical theatre in America with them.

Year-End Giving
Running the nation’s foremost classical theatre
requires a cast of thousands. That includes
extraordinarily talented actors, directors, artisans
and designers—and the countless generous
donors who stand behind us year after year.
Each season, more than 3,000 exceptional
individuals become partners in our work with a
tax-deductible gift to the Shakespeare Theatre
Company. Their commitments ensure artistic
excellence on the stages of the Lansburgh
Theatre and Sidney Harman Hall, guaranteeing
a full season of outstanding classical theatre.
Their generosity touches every part of every
production, from the actors on stage to the sets
we build to the costumes we sew.
As you make your year-end giving plans, please
consider becoming a Shakespeare Star or
joining the Artistic Circle.
If you join before December 31, your taxdeductible membership gift may significantly
reduce your income tax while ensuring that STC
continues to produce the outstanding classical
productions that set it apart. You will also enjoy
great members-only benefits that will enhance
your theatre experience.
If you are already one of our cherished donors,
please accept our humble and sincere thanks.
You are the reason we can do what we do, and
we are truly grateful for the role you play at STC.
To learn more about the Shakespeare Stars
and the Artistic Circle,

Explore, Engage, Expand
The Shakespeare Theatre Company is pleased to offer an exciting array of classes and workshops

monologues and more.
Starting January 2011, opportunities include:
• The return of popular acting classes such as
Acting Basics with Andrew Long, Shakespeare
Monologue Workshop with Floyd King, In
the Moment with Oran Sandel and Acting for
Business Professionals with Vanessa Buono.
• Special guest artists such as Nancy Robinette
(Shakespeare Monologue Workshop), Lise
Bruneau, Eleanor Holdrige, Aaron Posner (Notes

and Sabrina Mandell (Physical Comedy).
• Saturday morning classes for teens and young
people such as The Art of the Broadsword

invited family and friends. Registration begins in
January!
So whether you’re a theatre enthusiast who
is ready to jump into the action, a business
professional looking to liven up their next
presentation or a practicing theatre artist seeking
specialized training in performing the classics, we

Academy for Classical Acting
Academy Alumni at Work
Of the more than 100 alumni of the Academy for
Classical Acting, the majority are busy working in
film, television and on stages all across the country.
Recently, we checked in with them to find out
what they have been working on, and here are
some updates from alumni in the Washington,
D.C., area and beyond.
Richard Watson (’01) is currently rehearsing the
world premier of Venus Flytrap off-Broadway. He
will be playing George in Who’s Afraid of Virginia
Woolf? at American Stage this coming winter and
is about to film a small role in an episode of Onion
Sports Network. Richard just shot a segment of
Delocated on Adult Swim and recently closed
as Dr. Caius in The Merry Wives of Windsor at
Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival. He also played
Eli Whitney in Anything Goes at the Maltz Jupiter
Theatre this past spring.
Adam Fristoe (’08) just returned from a 3
month tour of his company's original show,
Hominid, a true story of conspiracy, murder and
suicide captured by Frans de Waal, in his book
Chimpanzee Politics: Sex and Power Among the
Apes. Adam is currently Artist in Residence at the
Center for Chemical Evolution, where he is devising
and directing an outdoor, spectacle performance
that will premier in Atlanta in April 2011, then
tour Europe that summer in collaboration with the
Dutch Spectacle Theater company, The Lunatics.
He will be presenting his work on Science and
Art collaborations at the 2010 CUNY Science and
the Arts Conference in October. As a teacher,
Adam teaches courses in acting, composition and
devising original theater at Emory University, KSU's
Department of Theatre, Performance and Dance
and with the apprentice companies at Actor's
Express and Georgia Shakespeare.
Megan Gaffney (’10) recently performed in
Crossing Delancey at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse
in New Hampshire right after leaving school.
Since returning to New York, she has appeared
in Innocent Yet by Frank Boudreaux at The Little
Theatre series at Dixon Place and performed in the
Emerging Female Voices Playwrights Festival in the
short play Mantis by Julia Pugachevsky. The festival
was produced by the Manhattan Shakespeare
Project. She was recently cast as Portia in Julius
Caesar at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey
as part of their Shakespeare Live tri-state tour.
William LeDent (’07) appeared in the
Shakespeare Theatre Company’s production of
King Lear with Stacy Keach and Ed Gero. He
also performed in STC’s Leadership Repertory
productions of Henry V and Richard II. He did
a staged reading of In the Flesh at Factory 449,
directed by ACA alum Joel Santner (’07). He
recently began rehearsals [with ACA alums Paul
Hope (’01) and Daniel Flint (’09)] for Richard III at
Baltimore Shakespeare Festival, playing Catesby.
In addition to his stage appearances, LeDent and
Joel Santner ('07) also made a short film called
Bare Knuckle which can be viewed online at
hstproductions.yolasite.com.
Richard Watson in The Merry Wives of Windsor at Pennsylvania
Shakespeare Festival last summer.
Help support an ACA student by making
a tax deductible scholarship gift to the
Emerging Classical Artists Fund.
To make your gift, call 202.608.6334.
Erin Jerozal (’09) is currently playing Gertrude in
the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival's tour of
Hamlet. She will be traveling around Pennsylvania,
Delaware and New Jersey doing the show and
teaching Shakespeare master classes. She will also
be teaching a workshop about iambic pentameter.

Since graduation a little over a year ago, I have
been offered three professional contracts with
solid regional theatre companies, including the
Shakespeare Theatre Company itself.”
-Brit Herring, Class of 2009
