prologue
from th e ar tis tic d irec to r
art is funda mentally about taking chances: trundling
through the unknown recesses of the unconscious to “make
something.” Some artists take more chances than others,
buoyed by the force of their circumstances, their personalities,
and their capacity to conquer their fear of disapproval. A rare
few are so gifted and so courageous they stand as a beacon
for the rest of us, their professional lives becoming successful
testaments to both resiliency and grace. If they live for a long
time, the body of their work transcends any individual project,
and they come to exist in a special niche in our collective
history. Such a person is Mikhail Baryshnikov.
It is a great honor to introduce Mr. Baryshnikov and his colleagues to our stage,
precisely because he is still taking artistic chances. In Paris uses a nuanced, complex
theatrical vocabulary of music, mime, video, and excerpts of Russian and French to
explore the relationship between an older man and a younger woman and its larger
theme of profound loneliness. Easy emotional access is denied to the audience,
forcing us to grapple with the fact that we are being asked to participate in an artistic
experiment. What a gift for all of us! That an artist as great as Mr. Baryshnikov should
focus his energies and creative resources on such a challenging project serves as a
source of unmitigated inspiration.
Sincerely,
Tony Taccone

Discover Berkeley Rep’s 2012–13 season
By K aren mckevit t
even a s shows l aunched from its s tage continue to thrill audiences in

Chinglish
Lily Yang
Written by David Henry Hwang
Directed by Leigh Silverman
Aug 24–Oct 7
Special Events Manager
In Chinglish, an American businessman heads to Asia to score a
lucrative contract for his family’s firm —but the deal isn’t the only
thing getting lost in translation when he collides with a Communist
minister, a bumbling consultant and a suspiciously sexy bureaucrat.
I can’t wait for Chinglish. I’ve seen what
it’s like for foreigners in Asia —how difficult it can be, and how humorous too,
and this play certainly captures that humor! It’s also
the first show of the 2012–13 season, and I’m looking
forward to working on what’s sure to be a wonderful
opening night!
Katrena Jackson
An Iliad
Patron Services Manager
Adapted from Homer · By Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare ·
Translation by Robert Fagles · Directed by Lisa Peterson
Oct 12–Nov 11
An Iliad is going to be
great. It seems very
mystifying and magical.
It takes me back to the excitement of
a new Harry Potter movie. I can’t wait.
An ancient tale comes roaring back to life in a compelling new telling filled with contemporary wit and wisdom. The clash of swords
and shields, the broken hearts and broken oaths, the bonds of
friendship and family—An Iliad arises on a bare stage, told by an
old man who’s seen too much.
Tom Pearl
Edward Hazzard III
Production Manager
Carpenter
One word: boats. An Iliad retells
Homer’s epic poem of the siege of
Troy and the massive navy assembled
by the Greeks. The White Snake also contains some
journeys by boat. Pericles is full of shipwrecks and
sea voyages. And most exciting of all, Troublemaker
brings a boat chase and other delightful absurdity.
8 · t h e b e r k e l e y r e p m ag a z i n e · 2 0 1 1 – 1 2 · S pecial I ssue
I’m looking forward to An Iliad. I read
Homer’s Odyssey, and the story really
stuck with me, so I can’t wait to experience one of his other stories—and this show’s been
getting great buzz! I also always appreciate it when
we can put an epic on our stage.
Troublemaker
or The Freakin Kick-A
Adventures of Bradley
Boatright
Written by Dan LeFranc
Jan 4–Feb 3, 2013
Only Berkeley Rep could unleash this
wild world premiere, commissioned
from hot young playwright Dan
LeFranc. It’s nineteen mighty-eight. In
working-class Rhode Island, Bradley
and his bestest friend tangle with rich
kid Jake Miller and his middle-school
goons. Faster than a speedboat, more
fun than a video game, Troublemaker
has a sassy mouth and an irresistible
heart of gold.
Madeleine Oldham
Director, The Ground Floor/Dramaturg
I cannot wait for Troublemaker. I’ve been working with
Dan for almost four years now on the development
of the script. It’s my absolute favorite part of my job
when I get to start working with a writer when a play is only an
idea, and see it all the way through to a production.
The White Snake
Written and directed by Mary Zimmerman
Nov 9–Dec 23, 2012
Tony Award–winning director Mary Zimmerman casts a spell
with The White Snake, a classic romance from Chinese legend. As
she falls for a charming young man, a snake spirit discovers what
it means to be human. But a monk objects, and the bride must
unveil her magical powers to save their love.
Lauren Shorofsky
Benjamin Hanna
Facilities Coordinator
School of Theatre
Community Programs Manager
I’m looking forward to
The White Snake. I’ve
always loved Mary
Zimmerman’s work and her style. I
love her visual storytelling, and this
show based on Chinese legend just
sounds so intriguing.
Last year was my first time
experiencing the magic of Mary
Zimmerman’s playful and whimsical work.
I’m so jazzed to introduce as many teens as
possible to her new piece, The White Snake.
Pericles, Prince of Tyre
Amy Potozkin
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Mark Wing-Davey
Apr 12–May 26, 2013
Artistic Associate & Casting Director
Action, adventure, emotion and awe…Expect that and more when
Mark Wing-Davey brings a nimble take on Shakespeare to Berkeley
Rep. A virtuous man clings to the mast of a storm-tossed ship as
his family reels from palace to brothel to a sacred Greek temple.
Discover the excitement of Shakespeare all over again in Pericles.
Pericles! I’ve cast four shows for
director Mark Wing-Davey. It will
be interesting to see what he does
with this rarely produced Shakespeare play. You
can be sure if Mark is directing, it will be exciting,
innovative, and bold.
Andrew Susskind
Terence Keane
Executive Assistant
Director of Public Relations
As someone who loves to travel, I’m
extremely excited about Pericles, Prince
of Tyre. There is the physical journey
of traversing the open seas, but the real adventure
is meeting people and experiencing something new
and different.
I’m looking forward to the two shows
we haven’t picked yet—because
announcing them is a big part of my
job. I can’t wait to be handed a new script, find a
quiet place to read it, write up a description that
tries to capture the spirit of the play, and make sure
it reaches you as quickly as possible.

at one time or another, all of us wonder… What happens when the curtain
goes down? When the lights go dark? Is that really the end? Or is there life after Berkeley?
At Berkeley Rep, we always try to live in the here and now. We’re focused on being
fully present with you, our loyal, local audience —and our goal is always to give you the
most exhilarating, entertaining, thought-provoking experiences that we can conjure on
stage. Nonetheless, we’re always proud when our shows are reincarnated at other theatres.
Lately, it seems like the cycle of rebirth has accelerated. In the last six years, Berkeley
Rep has helped send six shows to Broadway. Seven more landed off Broadway, one
moved to London, two turned into films, and others toured the nation. One even became
a bestselling book!
Here’s a glimpse into the afterlife of a few of our dearly departed...
1After creating buzz on Broadway, In the Next
Room (or the vibrator play) is being produced in
more than 30 cities in America, Australia, New
Zealand, and even Peru.
2Mary Zimmerman’s mesmerizing adaptation of
The Arabian Nights enjoyed a mini-tour when it
caravanned to Kansas City, Chicago, and DC.
3John Leguizamo collected the Drama Desk Award
and Outer Critics Circle Award when he took
Ghetto Klown to Broadway.
4
Let Me Down Easy, the electrifying solo
show from Anna Deavere Smith, proved so
popular with audiences across America that
pbs aired it as part of Great Performances.
5
Girlfriend, the charming young thing that debuted
on our Thrust Stage, had a one-night stand in New
York when Les Waters directed a concert version
of the show at Joe’s Pub. Les will also present
the show next winter for his new home family at
Actors Theatre of Louisville.
6 American Idiot rocked its way to two Tony Awards
and a Grammy before launching a 23-city tour of
the U.S., Canada, Britain, and Ireland.
7
Compulsion and In the Wake both played off
Broadway at The Public Theater, and the
latter netted an Obie Award for director
Leigh Silverman.
8When we helped introduce U.S. audiences to
The Great Game: Afghanistan, top brass from
the Pentagon requested an encore performance
in DC.
9
Tiny Kushner met Big Ben when Berkeley Rep’s
collection of one-acts from legendary writer Tony
Kushner shipped off to London.
10Berkeley Rep felt like a proud Ivy League parent
when our Three Sisters went off to Yale Rep and
got top marks from East Coast critics.
11Our world premiere of How to Write a New Book
for the Bible traveled to Seattle, where Bill Cain’s
gem of a drama delighted Emerald City audiences.
Those are just shows from the last four seasons that leapt into the great beyond. Now, instead of peering
backward with our crystal ball, let’s peek into the future:
• In Paris in Manhattan? The show you’re about to watch is headed to Lincoln Center this summer.
•N
ext, on our Thrust Stage, Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith gives a riveting performance in
Black n Blue Boys / Broken Men.
• Eve Ensler, the Tony Award-winning creator of The Vagina Monologues, comes
to Berkeley Rep for June’s world premiere of Emotional Creature.
•A
nd our upcoming season includes the West Coast premiere of Chinglish by David Henry Hwang, the
world-premiere production of The White Snake from Mary Zimmerman, and Dan LeFranc’s sassy new show
Troublemaker, or the Freakin Kick-A Adventures of Bradley Boatright.
Many plays are born in Berkeley. At last count, the Theatre’s progeny included 62 world premieres, 41 West Coast
premieres, and 5 American premieres. Thank you for helping bring them into the world… Who knows where
they’ll end up?

Teen arts advocates at Arts Advocacy day

Teen Council makes a claim
By hannah lennet t
on february 12 , members of Berkeley Rep’s Teen Council put down their smartphones, pushed aside sat study books, and took a leading role in a cause that may
sound less exciting than the Occupy movement, but one these teen artists and arts
patrons hold dear: arts advocacy.

events for all ages, the School of Theatre
is home to the Teen Council, a group of
more than 250 Bay Area teens who are passionate about becoming informed and
engaged artists.
After spending months discussing their frustration about not having a voice in
the elimination of arts programs in their schools and communities, as well as not
having the resources to advocate effectively if given the chance, a committee of
10 Teen Council members decided that it was time to create an event where teens
could rally around their cause and become articulate advocates. They spent January marketing, designing, and organizing an arts advocacy training day for their
peers. On February 12 at 10am, 60 arts advocates determinedly clutching cups of

coffee assembled at the School of Theatre outfitted in T-shirts bearing the
logo for the Claimyourarts initiative.
The event opened with a giant
scavenger hunt designed to help
students learn basic facts and figures
about arts education. The rooms
looked like an office-supply store had
exploded as students rushed through
construction-paper obstacle courses,
glow-in-the-dark Jeopardy boards, and
advocacy Mad Libs plastered around
the walls. Through the din of teenagers
engaged in deep competition, one
could hear the occasional gasp when a
statistic truly hit home. “My school
only sets aside 2 percent of its budget
for the arts. Are you serious?!”
The teens were helped through the
game portion of the day by several arts
experts, including Managing Director
Susan Medak and Brad Erickson,
executive director of Theatre Bay Area.
Assemblymember Nancy Skinner
joined the second portion of the day
when the morning’s information was
applied to an arts advocacy debate
where teens learned a very valuable
lesson: advocacy is not easy.
While the teens were full of
stories about the arts being a home in
times of need, a haven in a day full of
standardized testing, and a way to express oneself in a pivotal time in their
lives, this was not enough to make a
convincing argument. Advocating for
a cause requires planning, specific
goals, and a mastery of the subject
matter on a level that many students
had not yet experienced. “I hope you
realize how important it is for a civil
society to have people who are willing
to be for things and not just against
them,” said Susan, as she and Nancy
profusely thanked the students for
their passion and dedication to such a
difficult task.
In the final portion of the event,
teens designed a public service announcement, which has since been
produced by Berkeley Rep’s multimedia
producer, Pauline Luppert. The video
opens in a drab high school where
students march monotonously through
the halls, mouths covered in black
tape. When the students reach their
art classroom, they remove the tape,
their world jumps into bright color, and,
with activated voices and bodies, they
dive into various art projects. You can
view the full psa on the Claimyourarts
website and Facebook page.
Claimyourarts participants also

All in the family
Berkeley Rep involvement spans generations
B y K at h l e e n M a r t i n e l l i
when gr andparents, parents,
and children gather together, it’s
usually because there’s a holiday to
celebrate or a turkey dinner to eat.
Sometimes it’s because someone’s
graduating or getting married. And
sometimes, it’s because there’s a play
to see.
Melvin and Hella Cheitlin are
part of a community of Berkeley Rep
patrons for whom theatre is, literally, a
family value. Hella recalls that she and
her husband first started attending
shows here 35 years ago, in “the early
days” of the Theatre. Their son, Ken,
inherited his parents’ fondness for
Berkeley Rep; now he and his wife,
Betsey, are regular theatregoers, too.
“We take a subscription for four
people, and they come with us,” explains
Hella, who also donates to the Theatre.
“They pay for half and we pay for half.”
The family even has a pre-theatre
tradition that offers them time to bond
and catch up. “We come from San
Francisco and meet Ken and Betsey for
dinner before the theatre,” says Hella.
“It’s a family get-together.”
And the Cheitlins aren’t just
staying in the audience; after taking
a course at Berkeley Rep’s School
of Theatre, Hella’s grandson, Trevor,

appeared on the Roda stage in director
Jonathan Moscone’s 2005 production of
Our Town.
For seven-play subscribers and
donors Bill Hofmann and Robbie
Welling, visiting Berkeley Rep has always
been a family affair.
“My wife and I began to subscribe
to Berkeley Rep when our daughter was
a baby,” says Bill. “It was a great way of
making sure as new parents that we’d
get out on a date five times a year.”
When she was old enough,
daughter Julia enrolled at the School of
Theatre and took a number of courses
in stage combat. She can now wield
the broadsword, rapier, small sword,
and dagger.
“Julia’s been inspired by her performance classes,” says Bill. “She’s done
the full range and is eager for more.”
Julia is also a member of the
School’s Teen Council, so she gets to
see many Berkeley Rep shows before
her parents—a far cry from her early
days at home with the babysitter. “She
always loves the shows,” says Bill.
Berkeley Rep’s inclusive policy
towards families and young people is
part of what keeps Bill and his family
coming back season after season.
“Over the years we’ve been
attending, we’ve seen Berkeley Rep
reach out to younger and more diverse
communities with a wide range of
theatre presentations—it’s been great
to see audiences discover the Theatre
year after year,” he says.
While Hella Cheitlin and Bill
Hofmann can take credit for introducing
their children to Berkeley Rep, the
opposite was true in the case of Steven
and Jill Fugaro.
“We found Berkeley Rep in
2003 through our son Kevin’s drama
coach in high school,” remembers Jill,
based on “a recommendation from
someone we had terrific admiration
for, artistically. We were referred to go
see a show that Mary Zimmerman was
doing at Berkeley Rep called The Secret
in the Wings.”
The Fugaros were instantly hooked.
“We really liked what we saw and

continued coming to as many shows as
we could while Kevin was still in high
school,” Jill says.
It all came full circle a couple of
years later when Kevin, as a freshman
drama student at Northwestern,
joined the cast of a university
production of Cymbeline — directed
by, of all people, Mary Zimmerman,
professor of performance studies at
the university.
Kevin is now a professional actor
based in New York and is currently
performing in Romeo and Juliet at
the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
According to Jill, a member of the
Theatre’s board of trustees, the years
of attending Berkeley Rep’s shows as
a family played a formative role in her
son’s creative development.
“I’d say Berkeley Rep definitely
had an impact on his career.
Somebody who goes into performance
art is always absorbing what they see,”
she says. “We had a lot of interesting
inspiration from Berkeley Rep. What
he’s seen there has a definite impact
on who he is as an actor.”
Families like the Cheitlins,
Hofmanns, and Fugaros prove that
patronage really does give back.
Their close, enduring relationship
with Berkeley Rep has engendered
a love for performance that
transcends the generations and
serves as inspiration for the next
wave of young theatre artists.
“For us, especially as scientists and
engineers, supporting the arts is key,”
explains Bill. “Our giving strategy has
always been to support local institutions,
so we’ve always had a special place for
Berkeley Rep in our hearts.”
Hella echoes the sentiment.
“We need to support the arts, all
aspects of the arts, and to try also to
instill that in our children so the next
generation will continue to support
the arts. I think that’s very important.
And I hope that in our little way we’ve
done that.”

Report
Berkeley earns some Fidelity
Interview by K yle Sircus
fidelit y is berkele y rep’s newest
production sponsor this season. Its
Berkeley branch opened in 2010,
but the company’s commitment to
the arts has been a mainstay of its
philanthropic efforts since its early
days on the East Coast. We spoke
with Roberto Santos, vice president
and branch manager of the Berkeley
Investor Center, about Fidelity’s new
presence in Berkeley, its support of the
arts, and our latest partnership.
Fidelity is relatively new to Berkeley.
What attracted you to open a branch
in our community?
The branch officially opened on
August 16, 2010. Our company is
community based, really focused on
the client, and we have a lot of East
Bay clients who were asking for Fidelity
to open a branch near them. Being a
Bay Area native, having a sibling and
friends who went to UC Berkeley and
having attended Cal events growing up,
I know that Berkeley is a very unique
community. The diversity, the culture,
the presence of an institution of higher
learning—all of those things combine to
make Berkeley what it is.
What’s Fidelity’s philosophy on
corporate social responsibility and
philanthropic giving?
Fidelity has been a longtime
supporter of the arts—throughout our
growth as a company, we’ve supported
several arts organizations around
the country, from symphonies to
theatres. When we opened our branch
in Berkeley, we looked at it as an
opportunity to support the arts locally.
We’ve already contributed to a school
with a robust music program that was
in need of new instruments. Berkeley
Rep is an important local cultural
institution, and by supporting the
Theatre, we’re taking our commitment
to a new level. We feel that supporting
the arts in local communities is a great
use of our philanthropic funds.
What sets Fidelity apart from other
investment firms?
The number one thing I hear
from our clients, as well as from the
associates who work here, is how
impressed they are by Fidelity’s intense
focus on doing what’s right for each
individual client. Another great thing
that I hear from our employees is
about our focus on the associates
themselves—they always praise us for
investing so much in them. It helps us
attract and keep the best associates
and makes Fidelity such a great place
to work, which in turn creates an
environment and a culture that is
2 0 · t h e b e r k e l e y r e p m ag a z i n e · 2 0 1 1 – 1 2 · S pecial I ssue
conducive to helping our clients become
better investors.
Why did Fidelity choose to support
Berkeley Rep?
Our company has a long history
of supporting the arts. Berkeley Rep
is a leading arts organization, and
it’s so close to us— only a block and
a half away. The Theatre has a great
reputation for serving the community
through its productions and arts
education programs. Because of its
commitment to excellence, Berkeley
Rep can bring renowned international
artists like Mikhail Baryshnikov to
Bay Area audiences. Like Berkeley
Rep, Fidelity aspires to excellence
by providing the most outstanding
client experience through lifetime
relationships, investment guidance,
and dedicated service. We’re proud
to partner with Berkeley Rep —it just
makes sense.
We’re pleased to be able to
contribute to Berkeley’s cultural richness
by supporting Berkeley Rep. And while
Fidelity may be new to Berkeley, the
company has a long, successful history
of helping out clients with any and all of
their investment needs. If you haven’t
already, I encourage you to come
and visit us at our investor center on
University Avenue.

The Dmitry Krymov Laboratory was founded
in 2005. Its first production was Not a
Fairytale, made by the first-year students of
the Department of Set Design at the Russian
University of Theatre Arts (gitis). Based on
Russian folk fairy tales, the performance was
without words. Anatoly Vasiliev, one of the
most significant theatre directors of our time
and head of Moscow Art Theatre School,
saw Not a Fairytale and offered to produce it
on a regular basis at his theatre, as well as to
support the Laboratory of Dmitry Krymov’s
students-artists. Since then, a rotating cast of
students and six young actors, all graduates of
gitis and the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute,
have worked in the Laboratory to create nine
productions. The Laboratory continues to
foster an unusual theatre of artists with its
own unique aesthetic.

Baryshnikov Arts Center (bac) The Baryshnikov Arts Center is the realization of a long-held vision by artistic director
Mikhail Baryshnikov, who sought to build an
arts center in Manhattan that would serve as a
gathering place for artists from all disciplines.
bac’s opening in 2005 heralded the launch of
this mission, establishing a thriving creative
laboratory and performance space for artists
from around the world. bac’s activities encompass a robust residency program augmented
by a range of professional services, including commissions of new work as well as the
presentation of performances by artists of
excellence at varying stages of their careers.
In tandem with its commitment to supporting
artists, bac is dedicated to building audiences
for the arts by presenting contemporary,
innovative work at affordable ticket prices. In
2010 bac opened the Jerome Robbins Theater,
which serves as an organic extension of the
existing center, featuring multidisciplinary
work, emerging talent, and international
artists, and including artist-centered activity
that fosters creative exploration. For more

Making a difference with $3 million in 3 years
Wells Fargo has achieved a lot of growth since we first came to Berkeley in 1875,

Click berkeleyrep.org —you can buy tickets
and plan your visit, read our blog, watch

Theatre, and explore Berkeley Rep.
Emergency exits

Accessibility

Audio descriptions are available in the box
office; please request these materials at least
two days in advance.
No food or glassware in the house

Recycle and compost your waste
Help us be more green by using the recycling
and compost containers found throughout
the Theatre.
Phones / electronics / recordings
Please make sure your cell phone, pager,
or watch alarm will not beep. Doctors may
check pagers with the house manager and
give seat location for messages. Use of recording equipment or taking of photographs
in the theatre is strictly prohibited.
Please do not touch the set or props
You are welcome to take a closer look at the
set, but please don’t step onto the stage.
Some of the props can be fragile, and are
placed precisely.
