Since 2001, we have entertained over 560,000 people here in Shakespeare Glen; we’ve reached an additional 280,000 students In the Schools; and In the Streets, we’ve begun to connect thousands of people to their neighbors in creative, new ways. To celebrate these accomplishments, the Arts & Education Council of Greater St. Louis recognized the Festival with the 2015 Excellence in the Arts Award, joining the likes of Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the Saint Louis Art Museum, and the St. Louis Symphony. Each year we have improved our capabilities and built upon our strengths to give St. Louis a world-class theater-going experience in the world-class venue of Forest Park. My thanks to our volunteers, donors, artists, craftspeople, and staff who commit themselves to producing year-round programming In the Schools, In the Streets, and In the Park. The diligence and professionalism of these people have allowed the Festival to operate in a financially sound manner since our founding and strategically positioned us to move boldly forward. Since 2001, over 270 actors have trod across our stage, and since that first season, we’ve used much of the original structure. With generous support from the William T. Kemper Foundation – Commerce Bank, Trustee, the Gateway Foundation, and Switch, this year’s cast is performing on a brand new staging platform that is more efficient and environmentally-friendly. Our Festival has attracted some of the best actors, directors, and designers in the country, and with the support of our members and partners, we offer this Festival at no cost to our audiences. Like our founders, we continue to believe that great art should be accessible to all, and there is no other venue in our region that represents community better than Forest Park. We are incredible grateful for the partnerships we have with the City of St. Louis, Forest Park Forever, and all our neighbors. I extend my thanks to the Board of Directors, whose leadership and foresight inspire me daily. I add my particular thanks to Mont Levy, Jessica Holzer, and Chuck Miller, who have each served as Board Chair during my tenure, and have been such important partners in leading our organization.

Crosby Kemper, III, the idea of a free Shakespeare festival began in 1997, and with broad civic support Shakespeare Festival St. Louis received 501(c)(3) status in December 1999. In 2001 Chairman of the Board Marvin Moskowitz, first Managing Director Lana Pepper, and a visionary Board of community leaders produced the first annual free Shakespeare festival in Forest Park. Since the initial two-week run that attracted 33,000 audience members, the Festival has grown into a yearround institution producing up to 250 public performances annually for nearly 100,000 patrons and students. Presenting Shakespeare and works inspired by Shakespeare, the Festival’s programs are In the Schools, In the Streets, and In the Park. It is the only free, professional theater in the St. Louis area, employing renowned national and regional artists for the benefit of the community. Unlike other theaters in the region, the Festival depends almost entirely on the contributions of individuals, foundations, corporations, and public institutions. The Festival receives annual support from the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission, the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, among other organizations. Today, the Festival is recognized as an arts and culture leader and has received numerous awards including “Best Theatre Company,” “Most Innovative Arts Organization,” and Exemplary Community Achievement from the Missouri Humanities Council. In January 2015, the Festival received the Arts and Education Council’s Excellence in the Arts Award. F rom the D i r e c t o r In 2001, I got to spend the last month of my senior year of high school working as a production assistant on the first Shakespeare Festival: Romeo and Juliet. It was the first time I’d ever been in a rehearsal room with professional actors, the first time I’d ever seen a design presentation, the first time I’d ever been through a professional tech. When we moved into the Park, the experience was just magical. Being outside, under the stars, with thousands of people who had camped out to watch and listen to Shakespeare together, was a thrilling kind of theatre and community experience. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to come home to St. Louis and return to the Festival with this glorious and surprising play. Antony and Cleopatra has been an exhilarating, challenging piece for all of us. It’s an incredibly rich text: part love story, part political thriller, in moments a comedy, in others a tragedy. On the page, it looks epic and sprawling, spanning multiple continents with over 40 scenes, too many characters to remember, covering about a decade of history, not to mention a love story in which the titular characters are barely onstage together for the first half of the play, though their presence as a couple can be felt in almost every moment. But this isn’t the Elizabeth Taylor movie. Shakespeare’s writing is surprisingly intimate, and he irises in on the love, struggle, grit, and dirt of one single relationship, in a way capturing nearly an entire marriage in just a few hours. These two people aren’t mythic, larger-than-life celebrities: they’re exceptionally flawed and idiosyncratic. It is all, always, painfully human. Mark Antony and Cleopatra meet their true equal in one another. They each have a kind of status, charisma, power, and responsibility that nearly no one else in their world has. But it isn’t perfect. He’s already married, has a reputation as a womanizer, and she has trust issues. They both have incredibly demanding jobs with actual life-and-death stakes, and they live on different continents. When the play opens, they’re in a kind of honeymoon period: he’s just told her he loves her for the first time, and as much as she wants to, she can’t quite bring herself to believe it—but she’s going for it. And then, before they can even spend much time together as a couple, he’s forced to leave, and they have to figure out how to navigate a new long distance relationship (with no cell phones…) that puts them—and entire empires—in impossible situations. In this production, we’ve worked to strip away any pageantry and make it feel as immediate, simple, visceral, and evocative as possible. To do these plays, you only need strong actors who can handle the language and an audience. And with this play especially, I think the fluidity of storytelling requires a kind of light touch in the physical and visual production. This is a play that must be about the human beings at its center. I hope you all enjoy the production as much as we’ve loved working on it, and I thank you all for coming out to be a part of this with us. All My Best, Mike donahue Pictured (l to r): James Hesse, Jim Butz* in Henry V (photo © J. David Levy) 10 11 S y n o psi s C as t (in order of appearance) Following the assassination of Julius Caesar and his defeat of Brutus and Cassius, Mark Antony becomes one of the three rulers of the Roman Empire, together with Octavius Caesar and Lepidus. In the course of overseeing the eastern half of the empire, he falls in love with Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, and settles in Alexandria. He is compelled by his irate fellow triumvirs to return to Rome when the empire is threatened by the rebellion of Sextus Pompey, who attempts to revenge the defeat of his father by Julius Caesar. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt…………………………………………SHIRINE BABB* Mark Antony, a triumvir of Rome…………………………………JAY STRATTON* Eros, a follower of Antony……………………………………MOSES VILLARAMA* Canidius / Pompey, a rebel against the triumvirate /Proculeius…………MATT LYTLE* With his wife Fulvia recently deceased, Antony marries Octavius’ sister, Octavia, in an attempt to heal the rift between himself and Octavius. When Cleopatra hears Scarus, a follower of Antony / Menas, a follower of Pompey……………JESSE E. MUÑOZ about Antony’s marriage, she flies into a jealous rage, but is confident that Antony does not love Octavia. Antony goes to Athens, but when war breaks out between Charmian, Cleopatra’s handmaiden………………………………………KARI ELY* Caesar and Pompey, Antony sends Octavia back to Rome and returns to Egypt. Iras, Cleopatra’s handmaiden / Octavia, Caesar’s sister…………RAINA K. HOUSTON Octavius Caesar defeats Pompey and, incensed with Antony’s recent behavior, declares war on both Antony and Cleopatra. When the Romans arrive, Antony is offered a choice of how to fight and, despite being renowned as the world’s greatest soldier, chooses to fight at sea. The Egyptian navy is inadequate, and when Cleopatra’s navy turns and flees, Antony follows them and Caesar defeats him. Antony despairs, blaming Cleopatra for leading him astray, but quickly forgives her. The couple sends messages to Caesar: Antony requests to be allowed to live in Egypt, while Cleopatra asks that her kingdom be passed down to her rightful heirs.

He forgives her moments later, and resolves to return to battle. Philo/Soldier/Guard………………………………………………RYAN A. JACOBS When Antony meets Caesar again at sea, the Egyptian fleet repeats their treachery, leaving him to a tragic downfall. Antony vows to kill Cleopatra, so she goes to her tomb and sends a message to Antony that she is already dead. Antony is devastated and decides to kill himself. He botches the suicide, wounding himself severely. His followers take him to Cleopatra’s tomb, where he dies in her arms. Cleopatra’s life is in tatters. Without Antony and at the mercy of Caesar, she resolves to commit suicide. She has her servant, Charmian, bring her poisonous snakes. Caesar arrives just after her death and orders that the two lovers be buried together. 12 Demetrius/Soldier/Guard……………………………………BERNELL LASSAI III Varrius / Gallus / Soldier………………………………………ROBERT RIORDAN TIME: 40 BCE PLACE: Alexandria, Egypt; Rome; and points in between *Denotes member, Actors’ Equity Association 13 T he Pl ay e r s Shirine babb* kari ely* Gary Glasgow* raina k. houston ryan a. jacobs alan knoll* bernell lassai iii matt lytle* conan mccarty* jesse e. muÑoz charles pasternak* reginald pierre michael james reed* robert riordan jay stratton* moses villarama* 15 2015 shakepspeare ad.pdf 1 4/17/15 1:30 PM T he Pl ay e r s Shirine Babb* (Cleopatra) Broadway: Macbeth with Ethan Hawke (Lincoln Center Theatre).
