As a lifelong asthmatic, this was not unexpected, but the attack was to be the most severe of my life and I spent nearly a week in the hospital. At that time, I was a struggling standup comic and, like many colleagues, I was either indifferent or hostile to God; Jesus was the ghost who came into my bedroom when I was a child and tried to choke me to death on a nightly basis. I was released from Bellevue that Saturday afternoon. At the intersection of 26th and First Avenue, I had an epiphany like Saul on the road to Damascus when a thunderbolt knocked him to the ground, scales fell from his eyes and he knew that Jesus Christ was his Lord and Savior. My metanoia was less specific and more non-denominational; I went from cynical comic to non-affiliated deist. I received the unshakable realization of God’s existence and that of grace – for which I though myself unworthy but grateful. I guess that’s why it’s called grace. I entered into a bliss state – loving all whom I met and forgiving previous transgressions done to me. It lasted about a week. Then it faded and I felt a return to the petty life I’d always led. I didn’t want this to happen. I wanted to make this event into the B.C./A.D. of my existence. But I had no strong religious affiliation to which to turn. My parents were devout believers in whatever Protestant community was closest and nicest. I grew up Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian and Lutheran. Post-service coffee and donuts were sacraments as sacred as any wafers or wine. So I made a pact with the universe in the summer of 1986: I would remain open to signs and direction from anyone offering religious literature, conversation or ritual. On October 5, 1988, I watched an episode of A World of Ideas on PBS. Host Bill Moyers was interviewing Reverend Forrester Church of All Souls Unitarian in New York. And it was here that I learned about the Jefferson Bible. In 1804 President Jefferson bought two identical copies of the King James Bible. Needing both sides of each page for his project, he then, over three consecutive nights, used a razor to cut out only the verses he liked from all four gospels. Jefferson then pasted his chosen scraps of scripture into the pages of a blank book. He named his volume “The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth.” I became fascinated with the details of this history. What modern president would hatch such an idea and then spend his White House evenings executing it? For the next eight years, my fascination stopped short of creativity. I was getting jobs writing and later producing television. In 1993, HBO teamed me with Bill Maher to develop Politically Incorrect for Comedy Central. As that show took off, Jefferson gathered dust. 4 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON A B O U T T H E P L AY (CONTINUED) In 1996 my wife and I moved from New York to Los Angeles. We rented a house near Larchmont Village where, one Saturday at the independent bookstore, Chevalier’s, I discovered The Life of Our Lord by Charles Dickens. I subsequently learned that Dickens, between 1846 and 1849, condensed the gospels for the first five of his ten children. He read it to them so often that they had it memorized before they learned to read. Dickens’ favorite word in the English language was “fancy.” And, as you will soon hear, Dickens embraced most of the gospel verses that Jefferson jettisoned. I now had a play to write: two great men debating whose version of the gospels is better. The first pages of these men’s fictive theological spat multiplied madly during the ensuing months. One day, while allegedly doing more research (procrastinating), I happened on this note in Stephen Mitchell’s superb The Gospel According to Jesus: “…Tolstoy, too, compiled a gospel harmony, which he called The Gospel in Brief.” My excited first thought – adding Tolstoy to this debate – instantly gave way to an easily imaginable five more years of research to turn this duet into a trio. After the global success of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Tolstoy suffered a Russian epic of a depression so severe that his family hid his hunting guns to avoid his suicide. He embarked on a 30-year spiritual quest, learning Greek and Hebrew to freshly translate scripture. The Gospels in Brief, unlike the work of Jefferson and Dickens, was published during Tolstoy’s lifetime – though not in Russia. His increasingly controversial works were smuggled into Switzerland and would later result in Tolstoy’s excommunication from the Russian Orthodox Church. Harmonizing this latest Tolstoy research with the other two was proving unwieldy and was going to require much more work. The Jesus narrative is hardly, “the greatest story ever told.” Yes, there’s a beginning and end but the middle is a structural mess. At the end of 1999, after producing the first 1,100 episodes of Politically Incorrect, I left to develop my play and knew I needed help. Michael Bruner, a graduate of Princeton Seminary and the University of Hamburg began to meet with me regularly over the next three years. We organized the messy muddle of Christ’s ministry into a 315-page multi-colored volume. My literary agent shopped it around; no publisher was interested (at least not yet). Still, in 2005, this source material gave rise to the first draft of the play! It was universally hated. My wife hated it. My agent hated it. My lawyer hated it. And I felt guilty for wasting their time reading and so much of my time writing. I shelved it. 5 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON A B O U T T H E P L AY (CONTINUED) But, please, no pity: I’ve had a long and lucrative career in television. By then, Real Time with Bill Maher was on HBO and scheduled in a way that allowed me to develop other projects. In December 2008, I found myself with three open months and re-read my play’s 151-page first draft. Every bit of Jefferson, Dickens, and Tolstoy trivia had been thrown in; using the passage of time as perspective for this editing, I promptly removed most of it, focused on the Christ narrative, and distilled the page count from 151 down to 47 and increased the font size. But did I really have anything? I wanted someone to hear it who both had killer story chops and a spiritual simpatico. I called my friend, the brilliant writer, actor and comedian Garry Shandling. We were fellow Tucsonans who went to the same high school. He’d enjoyed my monologues and appeared on Politically Incorrect. We made dinner and reading plans for his house and I brought three little sticks with the heads of Jefferson, Dickens and Tolstoy to keep clear which character was talking. Garry interrupted me halfway through the stick puppet reading and gave me 23 pages of notes. We finished the play the following night with another round. I hosted reading after reading with friends and rewrote time and time again. Notes came from annotated scripts and post-reading discussions. Norman Lear, Stephen Mitchell (the translator who’d introduced me to Tolstoy’s gospel), Byron Katie (the author and Stephen’s wife), my wife, Bebe, Elaine Pagels, the Princeton Religious Studies professor who wrote The Gnostic Gospels (which you might know under its alternate title, Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code) and many others participated and I am grateful for it. After one reading, Arianna Huffington said: “We must have a performance at my house.” That December, the play was read in front of a 20-foot-high Christmas tree and 60 guests including Shirley MacLaine who, afterwards, gave me her phone number to discuss the play. We met in a dark corner of a Malibu restaurant. She ordered a bottle of red wine and, after a sip, asked, “Do you know why the star of Bethlehem hovered over the manger?” I responded that I did not. “It’s because,” she continued, “it was not a star. It was a spaceship. Let’s start there.” Then, with the world weariness of a Cassandra used to having her truth doubted, she told me that she had slept in Jefferson’s bed (in this lifetime, through a connection at Monticello). She said workers there report that his ghost roams the halls, whistling. Then she got to the purpose of our meeting: “You need a fourth character in your play … My friend Stephen Hawking believes that he is Sir Isaac Newton reincarnated. I really feel that Newton would have a lot to add to what those other three are saying.” I said, “Shirley, I appreciate you caring so much. But I’ve been working on this for 21 years. And I have to stop adding people or it will never get done.” My Cassandra looked at me, as through eyes of Fran Kubelick, of Irma La Douce, with an expression that said: Brother, you are making a big mistake. And maybe I am. But you’ll have to be the judge of that. Enjoy. 6 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON Intersecting Lives ACROSS 1 “Let the heart swell into what ___ it will” (Dickens, “Little Dorrit”) 5 Guitar’s five-string cousin 7 Add to one’s territory, as Russia did to Crimea in the 1700s 9 Jefferson used one to edit the gospels 14 Acquaintance of Dickens and literary rival of Tolstoy, Fyodor ___ 16 Having an unexpected twist 18 Adams and Jefferson declared one late in their lives after years of bickering 19 More greasy 20 Nonviolent Indian to whom Tolstoy wrote his last letter 21 Character that Tolstoy threw under a train, Anna ___ 23 Jefferson once received a 1,234-pound wheel of this as a gift 26 Jefferson political foe who was shot by his former vice-president, Aaron Burr 28 Dickens’ pen name 29 Jefferson purchase that doubled the size of the U.S. 30 Mountains that Dickens and Tolstoy once visited in the mid-1800s 32 Figure out, as a mystery 33 The Declaration of ___ 35 Crucifixion site, “the place of the skull” 38 While writing “Bleak House,” Dickens would often plunge his head into a ___ of cold water 39 Subject of a “head on a platter” painting owned by Jefferson, John the ___ 40 Name of Jefferson’s pet mockingbird, which was often on his shoulder when he answered the door (also, the nickname of a future president) 41 Jefferson’s wise nickname, “the ___ of (11 Down)” 42 “No nation is ___ where wine is cheap” (Jefferson) 1 By Merl Reagle 2 3 D I S C O R D 9 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 14 13 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 28 25 26 27 29 30 32 31 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 DOWN 1 “There is something ... burning in the heart of man that will not go out no matter how ___ the world becomes” (Tolstoy) 2 Dickens’ last completed novel, “___ Mutual Friend” 3 Tolstoy’s “___ and Peace” 4 Dickens novel, “Great ___” 6 Day of Jefferson’s Declaration and death (2 words) 8 French leader from whom Jefferson bought 29 Across 10 The Promised Land (also, a national park in Utah) 11 Jefferson’s house, which means “little mountain” in Italian 12 Tolstoy’s last novel, about the Christlike redemption of a nobleman 13 String instrument played by Jefferson 15 Jefferson didn’t like to do it in public 17 Jefferson often powdered his hair to avoid wearing them 22 “Art ___ life” For answers, visit ww.arizonatheatre.org/show/discord/. 7 23 Least popular Dickens novel, “Martin ___” 24 Tolstoy’s early “___ Sketches,” about military life in Crimea’s capital during a siege in the 1850s 25 Jefferson was the first president to live in it full time (2 words) 27 One more time 29 “Anything is better than ___ and deceit!” (Tolstoy) 31 Dickens novel, “The ___ Papers” 34 Evil One who tempted Jesus thrice 35 Name of Dickens’ pet raven 36 ___ Lucerne (Dickens visited it in 1844) 37 “No crib for ___” (line from “Away in a Manger”) Merl Reagle, who is passed last August, was MERL REAGLE the Sunday the Sunday crossword creator for the Arizona crossword creator for the Los Daily Star, Los Angeles Times,Post, Washington Angeles Times, Washington Post, andother 50 other major papers.

Photo by Tim Fuller. Now celebrating 49 years, Arizona Theatre Company (ATC) boasts the largest subscriber base of any performing arts organization in Arizona, with more than 130,000 people each year attending performances at the historic Temple of Music and Art in Tucson, and the elegant Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. Each season of carefully selected productions reflects the rich variety of world drama – from classic to contemporary plays, from musicals to new works, as audiences enjoy a rich emotional experience that can only be captured through live theatre. Touching lives through the power of theatre, ATC is the preeminent professional theatre in the state of Arizona. Under the direction of Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein, ATC operates in two cities – unlike any other League of Resident Theatres (LORT) company in the country. ATC shares the passion of the theatre through a wide array of outreach programs, educational opportunities, access initiatives and community events. Through the schools and summer programs, ATC focuses on teaching Arizona’s youth about literacy, cultural development, performing arts, specialty techniques used onstage, and opens their minds to the creative power of dramatic literature. With approximately 450 Learning & Education activities annually, ATC reaches far beyond the metropolitan areas of Tucson and Phoenix, enriching the theatre learning experience for current and future audiences. The mission of Arizona Theatre Company is to inspire, engage and entertain – one moment, one production and one audience at a time. 16 ANNOUNCING THE 2O16/2O17 S EA S O N “FL AT- OUT BRI L L I A N T.” “D ELI R I O U SLY FU N N Y! ” KING CHARLES AN ACT OF by Mike Bartlett by David Javerbaum “ONE OF T HE G R E AT E S T MUSICAL S IN H I S T O RY.” “M YTH M EETS EVERYD AY LI FE W I TH LU M I N O U S G R AC E . . .” FIDDLER THE RIVER ON THE ROOF BRIDE music by Jerry Bock lyrics by Sheldon Harnick / book by Joseph Stein by Marisela Treviño Orta “. . .A SHOW ABLA Z E WI T H FIRE AND UNMIT IG AT E D F U N ! ” A TH R I LLI N G N EW SH ER LO C K H O LM ES M YSTERY.
