Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands took the leadership role in crafting this solution with a purchase agreement for the 12-acre site that will protect both the future of the Festival and the “oasis for wildlife” that is the Barber Pool habitat. To all who helped bring about this welcome and fitting resolution, our deepest thanks! Now, on to the season! Dear Friends, On behalf of our artists, staff, and board of trustees, welcome to the 38th season of Idaho Shakespeare Festival – one of the signature cultural events of the intermountain west. Again this year, the Festival was honored to be named Boise’s Cultural Ambassador for Economic Development by Mayor Bieter in recognition of the vital contributions we make to both the artistic life and economic health of our community. It is deeply rewarding to all of us at the Festival that the City of Boise celebrates the impact arts organizations have on our community’s economic development (generating more than $48 million annually and supporting over 1,600 jobs) as well as the role we play in the cultural and educational lives of the region! But the value of the Festival to our community was also acknowledged this year by the thousands of supporters who joined the public process of determining the appropriate use for land adjacent to the Festival and the Barber Pool Conservation Area. Through your efforts and the tireless commitment of our Board of Trustees, the pro bono legal counsel of Gary Allen and Givens Pursley law firm, our neighborhood associations, Riverstone International School, and our long time partners at Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands, a classic win-win solution was page 18 We open with: “Deathtrap. A thriller in two acts. One set, five characters. A juicy murder in act one, unexpected developments in act two.” From the opening lines of Ira Levin’s brilliantly selfreflexive thriller, the audience is drawn into a room of mirrors in which every reflection doubles back on itself. In other words, a perfect thriller about writing the perfect thriller! And we are thrilled to return this summer to the murdermystery genre we began to explore in 2012 with that other play about a trap: The Mousetrap. Playing in rep with Deathtrap is the first of our Shakespeare plays for the season, As You Like It. Director Edward Morgan makes his Festival debut with a brilliantly conceived production of Shakespeare’s deeply romantic comedy, set in early 20th-century America, in which the Forest of Arden is in the foothills of the Adirondacks, the villains are greedy industrialists, and the lovers, Rosalind and Orlando, are the new Americans. Edward brings his love of music to the foreground in this most-musical of Shakespeare’s plays, including a tap-dancing vaudevillian and a barbershop quartet! Opening July 5th is Les Misérables, the longest running and most successful musical in the world! Victoria Bussert (director of last season’s Sweeney Todd) will direct a company of twenty actors in this theatrical epic based on Victor Hugo’s novel. Vicky’s approach will focus on the story, using an immediate and intimate production style, with an ensemble of actors playing multiple roles. We are thrilled to have Stephen Mitchell Brown (Jean Valjean) and Brian Sunderland (Javert) join our company this season. Both actors come to Idaho with an impressive body of work in musical theater including Broadway and national touring experience. Playing in rep with “Les Mis” is the second Shakespeare offering of the summer, The Merry Wives of Windsor. Director Tracy Young, whose previous work with ISF includes The Taming of the Shrew (2011) and The Imaginary Invalid (2012), is surely one of the most inventive artists working in the theater today—which bodes well for Festival audiences this summer. Merry Wives is sure to be a crazy ride through a wild Windsor! In September, director Sari Ketter, who created last season’s smash-hit, The Foreigner, is back with a stellar cast of women for Robert Harling’s bittersweet comedy, Steel Magnolias. Our “September show” has become its own special event, with an earlier curtain time, cooler evenings, and a focus on more contemporary works — and Steel Magnolias promises to be the perfect play to finish a great season! As always, we want to thank our partners and great friends in the corporate and foundation community, led by our unwavering season sponsor, KeyBank and long-time season partner, Micron Foundation, for their continued support. We could not produce our work without the tireless efforts of our talented administrative staff, dedicated board of trustees, extraordinary artists and the tremendous generosity of this community! As you look around the theater and page through this program, you will see the names of many friends whose support makes all of this possible. We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of them and look forward to a future filled with ever more collaboration and creativity. From all of us at the Festival, we hope you love the season! Sincerely, Charlie PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR We are proud to support the 2014 Idaho Shakespeare Festival and the arts in the Boise community. 3URYLGLQJ¿QDQFLDODGYLFHWRWKH%RLVH community for nearly 20 years. 101 S Capitol Boulevard, Suite 1800 | Boise, ID 83702 | (208) 388-4200 | (800) 413-2326 D.A.

One of the great popular successes of recent Broadway history, this ingeniously constructed play offers a rare and skillful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients—gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. Dealing with the devious machinations of a writer of thrillers whose recent offerings have been flops, and who is prepared to go to any lengths to improve his fortunes, it provides twists and turns and sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be held spellbound until the very last moment. “It is a classic thriller, a genre with a style, a manner and an audience of its own. If you like thrillers, do see it. I promise you that it is vintage.” —NY POST “The intricately fashioned plot contortions brought gasps, the comedy lines drew delighted chortles…” THE STORY: Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a “dry” spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney’s plan, which he devises with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness, and with such an abundance of thrills and laughter, that audiences will be held enthralled until the final, startling moments of the play. — D R A M AT I S T S P L AY S E RV I C E — T H E H O L LY W O O D R E P O R T E R Kevin Kev Kevin n Don nova o n MARKET PRESIDENT, KEYBANK Ke Key eyBan Bank ank Part a ner Pr ar Profi ofile ofi le KeyBan Ke Key Bank’s Ban k’s pr k’s promi omise om omi se it to hel help p our our cli client entss and ent and nd commun com commun u it un iti ties es thr thrive ive ive. ve e.

He takes refuge in the Forest of Arden with a band of faithful lords. Rosalind, his daughter, is kept uneasily at court as a companion to her cousin Celia, Frederick’s daughter. Meanwhile, Orlando, the youngest son of the late Sir Rowland de Boys, has been kept in poverty by his brother Oliver since their father’s death. Orlando decides to wrestle for his fortune at Frederick’s court, where he meets Rosalind and they fall in love. On the surface, this is a tale of exile and romance. The plot is simple: a young gentleman and two young noblewomen are driven from their homes. They flee into the forest where the rightful Duke has been exiled. But instead of an empty wilderness, they encounter shepherds, wandering nobles, philosophers, hermits, deer and lions—a population Shakespeare borrows from the tales of Robin Hood, English pastorals and classical poetry. This is the fabled Forest of Arden. The Duke banishes Rosalind, fearing that she is a threat to his rule. Celia, refusing to be parted from her cousin, goes with Rosalind to seek Duke Senior in the Forest. For safety, they disguise themselves—Rosalind as a boy named Ganymede and Celia as his sister Aliena—and they persuade the fool Touchstone to accompany them. Orlando, Rosalind and Celia arrive in Arden and their dangers dissipate. The wood becomes a haven wherein they take on new identities in life and love. Meanwhile, the city-folk mingle with country-folk and the exiled Duke and his followers contemplate the natural state of man. All of these threads are interwoven through language as elegant as any Shakespeare wrote, flowing scene to scene like a brook through dappled glades. Orlando returns from the court and learns of a plot by his brother to kill him. He flees with a loyal servant to the Forest and takes refuge with the exiled Duke. Still thinking on Rosalind, he begins posting love lyrics through the forest. Before long, he encounters her, but she is disguised as Ganymede. She proceeds to coach Orlando on how to woo his Rosalind, often playing the part of Rosalind herself. Elsewhere in the Forest, Touchstone pursues Audrey, a goat-herd, and the shepherd Silvius dotes on his neighbor Phoebe, who has fallen for Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise). Meanwhile, Oliver has been sent to hunt down his brother and arrives in the Forest, where Orlando saves his life from an attack by a lion. Oliver repents his past abuse of Orlando and promptly falls in love with Aliena (Celia in disguise). As Ganymede, Rosalind promises to satisfy Orlando’s longing and to resolve all of the love plots in one flourish. She does so, forsaking her disguise, reuniting with her father and joining at last with young Orlando. Then news arrives that Duke Frederick has had a conversion and renounced the Dukedom, so the exiles can return to civilization and their former lives. Only the melancholy Jaques will stay behind in the Forest. ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY (edited/updated by Edward Morgan) Yet beneath its sparkling surface, As You Like It is not froth. It juxtaposes civilized corruption with the natural world, and mocks how urban and rural people view each other. It plays with gender roles and sexual ambivalence. It gazes on mortality and redemption, and celebrates the threshold of a new era of individuality and liberation. With themes so modern, it’s astonishing to remember that this play premiered 415 years ago. So what have we done with our production? We’ve set it in New England during the second Industrial Revolution, not long after the start of the 20th century. We’ve placed Arden in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The villains are greedy Industrialists. The exiled Duke is a follower of Emerson, a would-be Thoreau. Rosalind and Orlando are the new Americans. Fiercely democratic, they succeed by merit—not privilege—as they forge a new worldview and sense of equality. Indeed, in this context, the delightful, ever-resourceful Rosalind becomes a kind of metaphor for American womanhood, advancing from 19th-century servitude through Gibson Girl glamor to the courage of the Suffragette, and beyond. And finally, since the true pulse of an era resounds in its music, we’ve replaced Shakespeare’s songs with tunes that echo these themes through Yankee syncopation. It has been fun transplanting this brilliant play to American soil. It gives the text new resonance for us. We hope it does the same for you, and that our version is as you like it.

Michae Mic ha l Jung PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER, IDAHO STATESMAN is one of the world’s leading theatrical licensing agencies, granting schools as well as amateur and professional theatres from around the world the rights to perform the largest selection of great musicals from Broadway and beyond. MTI works directly with the composers, lyricists and book writers of these shows to provide official scripts, musical materials and dynamic theatrical resources to over 60,000 theatrical organizations in the US and in over 60 countries worldwide. Alain Boublil Alain Boublil’s first musical, La Revolution Française in 1973, marked his transition from songwriting to musical theatre and the start of his collaboration with Claude-Michel Schönberg with the hit album that became the first ever staged French musical. His idea of writing a musical version of Les Misérables brought them together again in 1978. The acclaimed show was written over a two-year period and recorded as an album before its opening at the Palais de Sports in Paris in September 1980. In 1983 Mr. Boublil met Cameron Mackintosh which led to his first London production Abbacadabra (a musical fairy-tale set to ABBA music) and to working with Claude-Michel and directors and writers on the English language adaptation of Les Misérables. The show has subsequently opened in 19 countries and 14 languages. Among the many awards Mr. Boublil has received were two Tony Awards in 1987 for Best Score and Best Book for the NY production and a 1988 Grammy for the Best Original Broadway Cast Recording which he co-produced with Claude-Michel Schönberg. Miss Saigon opened on September 20, 1989 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London and on April 11, 1991 in NY. The show has also played in Tokyo and Toronto with future production scheduled for Sydney, Australia and Stuttgart, Germany. Mr. Boublil will maintain a close association with all the international productions of Les Misérables and Miss Saigon while working with ClaudeMichel on the screenplays for motion picture versions of both musicals. Claude-Michel Schönberg Claude-Michel Schönberg is a successful record producer and songwriter who began his collaboration with Alain Boublil in 1973, writing the very first French musical, La Revolution Française. Mr. Schönberg played the role of Louis XVI in that production and also co-produced the double-gold record album of the show. In 1974, he recorded an album, singing his own compositions and lyrics, which included the number-one hit single Le Premier Pas. In 1980, after two years’ work on the score, Mr. Schönberg and Mr. Boublil’s musical Les Misérables opened in Paris, where it was seen by more than 1.5 million people. In 1983, Mr. Schönberg produced an opera album in Paris with Julia Migenes Johnson and the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. Following work on the London production of Les Misérables (the 3rd longest running musical in British theatre history), Mr. Schönberg co-produced the continued on page 26 page 24 Dramatis Personae Jean Valjean . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

He won two coveted Tony Awards, for Best Score and Book, for the Broadway production of Les Misérables and a Grammy Award for the Best Original Cast Recording, which he co-produced with Alain Boublil. He also worked closely on the symphonic recording of the show. His score for Miss Saigon, again written in collaboration with Alain Boublil, is now repeating the international success story of Les Misérables. Produced by Cameron Mackintosh and again bringing together many members of the creative team behind Les Misérables, Miss Saigon opened with huge success at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London in September 1989, in NY in April 1991, in Tokyo in May 1992 and in Chicago (the first national U.S. tour) in November 1992. Future productions will open in Sydney, Australia and Stuttgart, Germany. Now Claude-Michel is back at the keyboards, composing their next musical, Martin Guerre, while keeping close eye on the development of the screenplays for Les Misérables and Miss Saigon. Director’s Note Les Misérables has been a blockbuster hit since 1862, when Victor Hugo’s soaring saga of social injustice, revolution, hope and redemption was published in Paris. It took Hugo almost twenty years to write the 1200 pages or 365 chapters that make up what many believe to be one of the greatest novels of all time. It sold out its initial print run on the very first day. The journey from novel to musical is an interesting one. In 1978, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, friends for more than a decade, attended the London revival of Lionel Bart’s Oliver based on the Charles Dickens novel and produced by a young, Cameron Mackintosh. While watching the production, Boublil began to see striking similarities between the Artful Dodger of Oliver and the street urchin, Gavroche, in Hugo’s novel. During the performance he continued to uncover more and more character parallels between the two works. Describing that evening Boublil says, “I was in a kind of trance the whole evening and came out of that incredible production obsessed. I was going to do the same. I had no doubts...the characters were all there... so I went back to Paris, spent time with the novel, went through it with my pen thinking this would make a song and this wouldn’t, and called Claude-Michel.” The collaborators were so confident and excited by the project that they gave up their jobs and committed their time to writing this epic musical. It became a two-year labor of cutting, condensing and shaping. Alain and Claude-Michel produced a demo tape of their musical with Claude-Michel at the piano singing all the parts—male and female. Robert Hossein, a well-known director, heard their cassette and agreed to tackle the first production at the Palais des Sports which happened to have an unexpected threemonth scheduling gap between Holiday On Ice and the Moscow State Circus. The initial production had many problems including the testing of a transmitter on the Eiffel Tower making the actor’s microphones unusable at the first preview. The frustrated director went onstage and ordered the audience to go home; however, most of them waited out the hour-and-a-half delay and didn’t leave the theater until the show’s completion at one o’clock in the morning. In those three months of performances, more than 500,000 people packed the sports arena to witness this epic production. “It was a huge success,” recalled Schönberg, “but when it finished, it was finished.” Or was it? Much later, the collaborators heard from the French Society of Writers that a British producer named Cameron Mackintosh, the same man who had produced the revival of Oliver, was looking for them. They met for lunch in Paris on page 26 February 4, 1983. “We didn’t know it,” said Schönberg, “but it was the most important day of our lives.” Two years later Les Misérables opened at the RSC in London, later transferring to the Palace Theatre, and in 2004 to the Queens Theatre where it has been running ever since. Mackintosh says, “I am often asked what it is that makes audiences and actors so passionate about Les Mis, as the show is fondly known. The abbreviation of the title is maybe a clue—in Hugo’s story the characters are so personal, so timeless, so universal, they remain a contemporary mirror of ourselves. Audiences feel possessive of this timeless tale, where the downtrodden have to fight to be heard and sometimes die to be free, yet in their darkest struggle find love, life and laughter, and mankind’s most redeeming trait, the unquenchable survival of the human spirit.” Les Misérables originally opened at the Kennedy Center in December of 1986, a city specifically chosen due to its audience’s sophistication and political awareness. It made the move to Broadway on March 12, 1987 opening to rave reviews and winning eight Tony Awards. The original production closed in 2003 with revivals in 2007 and 2014. There is no doubt that Les Misérables is a global phenomenon; it’s thru-composed score changed the landscape of musical theater and welcomed a new generation of “epic” musicals. And yet, it’s somehow especially fitting that the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and the Great Lakes Theater, sister companies that share the Royal Shakespeare Company vision of valuing Shakespeare and musicals side-by-side, should bring Les Misérables back into a classical theater company. Welcome home, Les Mis—tonight we hear the people sing.

In an effort to solve his financial woes, he decides that he will court two wealthy married women, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page. Falstaff sends the women identical love letters and asks his associates– Pistol and Nym – to deliver them to the wives. When they refuse, Falstaff sacks them, and, in revenge, the men tell the husbands of Falstaff’s intentions. Mr. Page is not concerned, but Mr. Ford’s jealousy is inflamed. Meanwhile, three different men are trying to win the hand of Mr. Page’s daughter, Miss Anne Page. Mrs. Page would like her daughter to marry Doctor Caius, a physician, whereas the girl’s father would like her to marry Mr. Slender, the nephew of the wealthy Mr. Shallow. Anne herself is in love with Mr. Fenton, but Mr. Page has rejected Fenton as a suitor due to his having squandered his fortune on extravagant living. When the wives receive Falstaff’s letters, each informs the other, and they discover that the letters are identical. For their own amusement and to gain revenge for his indecent assumptions, the wives pretend to respond to his advances. Mr. Ford becomes suspicious of his wife’s fidelity and poses as ‘Mr. Brook,’ who offers to pay Falstaff to court Mrs. Ford, convincing Falstaff that once she has lost her honor Mr. Brook will be able to tempt Mrs. Ford himself. Falstaff cannot believe his luck, and tells ‘Mr. Brook’ he has already arranged to meet Mrs. Ford while her husband is out. When Falstaff arrives to meet Mrs. Ford, the wives trick him into hiding inside a basket to avoid discovery by the jealous husband. The wives then have the basket taken away and the contents (including Falstaff) dumped into the river. Although this affects Falstaff’s pride, his ego is surprisingly resilient. He is convinced that the wives are just “playing hard to get,” and so he continues his pursuit of them. Again Falstaff goes to meet the women but Mrs. Page comes back and warns Mrs. Ford of her husband’s approach. This time they trick Falstaff into disguising himself as Mrs. Ford’s aunt, but Mr. Ford ends up beating “her” anyway. Eventually the wives tell their husbands about the series of jokes they have played on Falstaff, page 28 and together they devise one last public humiliation for Falstaff, involving a pageant being enacted by residents of the town. During the pageant, each of Miss Anne Page’s suitors attempts to steal her away, with Mrs. Page aiding Dr. Caius and Mr. Page aiding Slender. Fenton, however, escapesescapes with Anne. Once the joke is played out on Falstaff, he accepts his punishment surprisingly well, and sees it as deserved. Fenton and Anne return and announce they have been married. Fenton chides the parents for trying to force Anne to marry men she did not love and the parents accept the marriage and congratulate the young pair. A celebration begins and Mrs. Page happily invites Falstaff to join the festivities. Director’s Note The end of the Second World War was a particularly galvanizing time in American history. The country as a whole shared great optimism about the future prosperity of the new “Baby Boomer” generation, and yet at the same time experienced a more complicated and darker awareness of humanity overall. America had strong regard for its moral fabric and also an increasing doubt about the durability of that fabric. Tensions between ideals of community and individualism, transformations of accepted notions of status, and evolving expectations of traditional gender roles introduced changes in American society that would unfold over the next fifty years. Soldiers returned home to spouses and both partners often struggled with the distance that had come between them, both literally and figuratively. Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor explores similar expectations and tensions, and this adaptation carries them into the period just after the war, when triumphant feeling struggled with the realities of a threatening world. “Merry Wives” is about feeling like an outsider to a community and finding identity within it, and about how a community can support or inhibit selfexpression. The play good-naturedly, but pointedly skewers our weaknesses. Jealousy is represented in at least three other Shakespeare plays as a potently destructive force, but in “Merry Wives,” we can recognize and grow from it. Lustfulness and a propensity for gossip and deceitfulness appear in this play as potentially but never quite, destructive. The play is constructed to a human scale, and with a generosity towards the characters that inhabit its world. Shakespeare’s Falstaff is a paragon of human foibles, and in The Merry Wives of Windsor he is the figure most alien to the play’s community. What is it about Falstaff? Why is this larger than life figure so memorable and so prone to take up residence in our hearts and imaginations? Referred to as a “fat knight,” he embodies a laundry list of vices; he is lazy, slovenly, a drunkard, a womanizer, a thief, a braggart, a coward and a prevaricator. And yet, we can’t get enough of him. Perhaps it is because Falstaff represents the joy of freely following our impulses without concern for the consequences. But then, inevitably, the consequences of hedonistic living come to pass—obesity, alcoholism, poverty, and perhaps most meaningfully the rejection of one’s community. Falstaff is brought down by his unbridled ways and rejected by the young king in the Henry plays. But there is no delight in watching Falstaff get his comeuppance there, for we still harbor a love for him, and the way he mirrors us in our most childlike selves. Shakespeare is rumored to have been encouraged by Queen Elizabeth I to write a light-hearted romp for Falstaff. In Shakespeare’s wisdom, this rollicking work framed Falstaff as an outsider who, by his very way of being, challenges the community to confront its notions about morality and acceptance of difference. Once again, Falstaff suffers rejection and humiliation for his shortcomings, but ultimately Shakespeare uses the community’s embracing of Falstaff as a symbol of enrichment and growth. Lastly, though, it is useful to remember that Shakespeare titled this play The Merry Wives of Windsor, and for good reason. The play is centered not around Falstaff but around the women of the story, the “Merry Wives.” They are the engines that drive the action of the play, and they seem to relish their role. The ladies Ford and Page are fiercely intelligent, witty and yet also seem content to wield power within their proscribed roles as wives and mothers. These women provide a pointed contrast to other hyper-intelligent Shakespearean women who are often thwarted and limited by their gendered roles (Lady Macbeth and “shrewish” Kate come to mind). In “Merry Wives,” the women find ways to maneuver in their own, albeit limited, milieu. They mete out the standards around which the community rallies and establish the “rules of combat.” At the end of the play, Falstaff is welcomed into the community by one of the wives who can see past his limitations and embrace him with forgiveness that transcends his foolishness. It is ultimately that final grace note that offers the most stirring and heartfelt moment of the play, in recognizing that shortcomings are shared by everyone, and that forgiveness is always possible.

Ma Mar a ie e McG McGlyn lynn lyn n VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER page 32 Robert Harling Robert Harling made his directorial debut with The Evening Star for Paramount, which he also wrote for the screen based on Larry McMurty’s novel. The Evening Star reunited Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson and co-stars Juliette Lewis, Bill Paxton, Scott Wolf, Miranda Richardson, and Marion Ross. The Evening Star is the continuation of one of the most beloved and acclaimed movies of our time, Terms of Endearment. Before launching a successful stage and screenwriting career, Robert graduated from Tulane University School of Law, but instead of taking the bar exam, he opted to become an actor in New York. After years of productive work as an actor in voiceovers and commercials, Harling was inspired to write the highly acclaimed stage play Steel Magnolias, which was based on events from his personal life. Steel Magnolias continues to thrive in theatrical productions throughout the world. Immediately bridging a career from stage to screen, Harling adapted his original play into the popular film of the same title, which starred Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, and Daryl Hannah. Over the years, Mr. Harling has become a much sought-after screenwriter: other credits, to name a few, include Soapdish, [directed by ISF founding company member Michael Hoffman] which was based on Harling’s acting experience and starred Sally Field, Whoopi Goldberg, and Robert Downey Jr., and First Wives Club for Paramount, starring Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton. The Interview: Robert Harling Published in Garden and Gun (www.gardenandgun.com) a national magazine that focuses on the Southern lifestyle. By Julia Reed LOUISIANA — DECEMBER 2012 / JANUARY 2013 The untold story of Steel Magnolias Robert Harling grew up in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and lost his sister and best friend to diabetes in 1985. He turned the experience into the iconic stage play Steel Magnolias, which is still performed all over the world. The subsequent movie launched Harling’s career as a screenwriter, and since then he has written Soapdish and The First Wives Club, among other hits. On the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the play’s production, he talks about how it all began. You graduated from Tulane’s law school. When did you realize you wouldn’t be hanging out at the courthouse all day? I knew almost after my first week of class that I’d never inflict myself on the world as a lawyer. But I stuck with it and graduated because I loved Tulane, the people, and I had a job as a singer for a big band that played all the swell gigs in New Orleans. It was a great life. By the time you wrote Steel Magnolias, in 1987, you were living on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. What were you doing for a living? I was an actor. Auditioning lots, getting little. I did some commercials and voice-overs. And I had a job selling tickets for Broadway shows. Not the most exciting existence. How long did the play take you to write? It was written in about ten days. The events that inspired it were so powerful that, after I found the story arena, it just poured out into my typewriter in a 24/7 tsunami of Southernness. I had no idea what I’d written. I asked the first person I gave it to if it even looked like a play. I wasn’t really sure. All I knew was that I felt it portrayed my sister’s life and spirit accurately, and that was enough for me. The play was an instant hit off-Broadway, and almost immediately you were asked to adapt it into a screenplay for the 1989 movie. It happened so quickly. With the buzz around the play in New York, there was a constant stream from Hollywood coming to check it out. Ray Stark bought the rights and promised me he’d film it in my hometown of Natchitoches, which really clinched the deal. Almost every actress in the biz came to the theater to see it. They had to shut down the street the night Elizabeth Taylor came, the crowds were so large. I had tea with Bette Davis, who wanted to play Ouiser. The movie had premieres in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, and Natchitoches. That was a surreal week. The New York premiere was amazing. Ray wanted the biggest premiere party since The Godfather, and he got it. It was at the Hilton. They re-created the wedding set from the movie. I remember watching my dad in deep conversation with people like Walter Cronkite… I pinched myself a lot those days. How many countries has the play been performed in, and what are the differences in the productions? I know of seventeen authorized translations. I’m sure there are more. I’ve seen it in Japanese, Chinese, French, Swedish, Spanish, Italian. But it’s become clear to me: Beauty shops are universal. Demonstrating the need for friendship and support knows no bounds. The main variable is the set. Some of the foreign notions of what a converted Southern carport looks like are mind-blowing. And there was one Italian production where every character was hot. Even the two older characters of Ouiser and Clairee. Smoking hot. The play still worked! I can only imagine the impact on Natchitoches when the movie crew and everyone from director Herbert Ross and his then girlfriend Lee Radziwill to Dolly Parton and Sam Shepard descended. Shooting it in Natchitoches was beyond. While I was hanging out with Sam, one of my idols, he pointed out to me what a singular experience it was to write a play about my family and then have it become a movie filmed in the town where it happened, in the houses and churches with the family and friends who inspired it in the background. The town went nuts in the summer of ’88. The biggest stars in the world were squeezing vegetables in the Winn-Dixie. Word spread like lightning about their every move. Olympia Dukakis’ cousin Mike was running for president, so die-hard Republicans across the street from where she was living put Dukakis signs in their yards to be neighborly. Princess Radziwill loved it there. She and Herbert got engaged during the shoot. Julia [Roberts] bowled at the bowling alley. Dolly and I drove around all the drive-ups in search of the best fried okra. Where did the cast stay and eat? Did your mother make her amazing coconut cake? All the stars rented homes in the area. Tom Skerritt (who played my movie dad) lived next door to my real dad. Again, how often does that happen to a writer? We had a lot of cookouts and potluck suppers. The inspiration for Soapdish, my second film, came from one such dinner when Sally [Field] said, I’ve always wanted to play a bitch who gets to wear nice clothes. That simple thought birthed a huge idea. And yes, Mama was churning out her coconut cakes as fast as she could. There was always one on the counter, one in the oven, and at least one in the freezer. Speaking of cake, had you ever seen an armadillo groom’s cake? There was indeed an armadillo groom’s cake at my sister’s wedding. The red velvet part was my writerly creation. The original one was very simple sheet cake cut in the shape of an armadillo. Not like the high art form it’s become. I’ve seen some amazing edible armadillos. The New York Times credited me with the rediscovery and revival of red velvet cake. I consider this as one of my great life achievements. There are so many quotable lines it’s impossible to count them. Do you have a favorite? The one that still makes me laugh the most is when Truvy says of her wayward son, “I should’ve known Louie had problems when his imaginary playmates wouldn’t play with him.” That’s my kind of humor. And when speaking of Louie’s girlfriend, “the nicest thing I can say about her is that all her tattoos are spelled correctly.” Tell us what the title means to you. When I was a kid, a lady in the neighborhood had a large metal floral paperweight on her kitchen counter that served as a receptacle for change, keys, it weighed down the check for the milkman or the dry cleaner receipt (not that you’d ever need a dry cleaner receipt in my small town everybody knew who a dress belonged to), whatever. She called that thing on her counter the steel magnolia. In her sweet drawl, she’d say, “Take a quarter from the steel magnolia and get us some ice cream.” I found it interesting that the thing was neither steel nor a magnolia, but that’s what she called it. And the imagery stuck. Something beautiful made of very strong stuff. When I was young, often sent to pluck a few magnolia blossoms for my mama’s floral needs, I learned that, while gorgeous, they are fragile and bruise easily, qualities often attributed to Southern women. My extraordinary life experiences with my sister and mother showed me that the women I’ve known are indeed gorgeous, but their lives can be fragile. But if you look underneath, you realize they possess a tensile strength stronger than anything I could ever muster. I wrote of their strength, joy, and laughter that rang out no matter what life threw at them. After my sister’s death, the only way I could deal with it was to celebrate them. When the play was finished, I needed a title. In my head, I heard that grand dame’s voice and the way she pronounced ‘steel magnolya.” It seemed right. My mother, my sister, my aunts, the neighbor ladies, I still hear their glorious voices all the time. I hope I always will.

There is some theater in her family as her two nieces in Seattle have been in theater since they were little girls and now as adults sing and write their own music, with both of them currently working on albums. Debbie enjoys volunteering, walking on the greenbelt, reading and spending time with her daughter who lives in Boise. DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE INTERIM BOX OFFICE MANAGER COMPANY MANAGER Sherrill is enjoying her eighteenth season at the Festival, continuing her very successful mission to make ISF the most well-managed theater in the nation.

IT SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR This is Aaron’s fifteenth season with Idaho Shakespeare Festival. Aaron graduated from Boise State University in 2000 with a BA in English literature, and a minor in philosophy. Shortly after graduating from college, Aaron rose to minor prominence in the independent music scene for his performances of Sex Pistol songs on the electric zither. Aaron soon after started a musical collaboration with his friends Vladimir and Carlos, experts on the accordion and theremin, respectively. While the three of them were on tour in Kyoto in 2004, Aaron met his future wife Mika, whose bagpipe rendition of OutKast’s Hey Ya left an indelible impression upon Aaron. Mika joined Aaron, Carlos and Vladimir, and together they launched the band Promenade Inferno. They have since released 4 albums, the latest of which, Zither This, placed eighth on the Peruvian pop charts. Aaron and Mika’s son Michael has recently joined the group, and together they’re preparing for their forthcoming tour of Upper Mongolia. This is Cassie’s third season with the Festival and she is thrilled! Cassie is the staff coordinator for the Shakespeare Society. Cassie was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky and received her BA in theater from the University of Kentucky. She then moved to Dublin, Ireland in search of her Irish roots and further theater education at the Gaiety School of Acting. Afterwards, she spent six years in Los Angeles until the amazing City of Trees caught her fancy. She is constantly delighted by her one-year-old daughter, Stella, her incredible husband, Ryan, and their two cats, Monsieur Pierre de L’Orange and Piggy French. Cassie is so excited to be with ISF for another extraordinary season. In her sophomore season with ISF, Rose has enjoyed being involved in a variety of departments, from development to education, and is excited to be helping in the box office this summer. Rose earned her BA in history from The College of Idaho, and though her studies were focused on early-modern Western Europe, her fact-checking skills come in quite handy for correcting others at in-opportune times and solving daily questions (i.e. the origins of the term “kitty-corner”). This summer Rose will attempt to keep a plant alive, go to as many music festivals as possible, and search for another book worthy of reading twice. Favorite pastimes include collecting a menagerie of all things peach (colored or flavored), obsessively listing the finest qualities of Jennifer Lawrence, playing with other people’s puppies, and taking seasonal trips to beloved Stanley, ID. “On Wednesdays we wear pink.” This is Kiely’s tenth season with the Festival, and her fourth season as company manager. Kiely holds a BA in English from Boise State University, and is on the slow track for a graduate degree. Kiely is incredibly grateful for the current health and happiness of her loved ones. A few of her favorite things include: baby goats, warm lakes, home improvements, sweet potato fries, and working in her garden. Last May, Kiely gave birth to a red-headed Irishman with a dimple. Talk about favorite things! She and her wife, Jenna, are very much in love with the newest addition to their family. The dogs and cats like him too. Kiely looks forward to a fantastic new season with ISF, and another hot summer! page 55 Festival Management Production and Department Heads HANNAH READ NEWBILL DIRECTOR OF MARKETING Hannah started with the Festival in high school, working in varied capacities now for nineteen seasons.

Chandra and her husband Craig had no trouble with that part. Unfortunately, the technology was not quite there, and their plan to clone William Shakespeare backfired when, instead of a clone, they were presented with a real-life, raised from the dead, Zombie Shakespeare. Unthinkingly, they had used the growth hormone from their previous experiments with opposable thumbed cats, and the Zombie grew to unexpected proportions and nearly destroyed Toledo before they were able to finish him off. They live quietly in Idaho now, Chandra manages the Box Office, and ponders this eternal truth: Zombie Shakespeare bad. This is Christine’s fourteenth year with the Festival. She holds a BFA in art history from Boise State University and has a specific interest in the art of Mexico, admitting to a slightly out of control collection of Dia de los Muertos figurines. In her free time she is obsessed with all things fabric—whether batik, knitting, or sewing— there just seems to be big piles of art supplies and halfdone projects all over the home she shares with husband, Tully, two kids, and the one very old cat. Christine and husband have pledged that this will be the year they try re-growing the lawn and attending to the weed-filled flowerbeds, now that the tiny fiends are old enough to spend hours circling the block on scooters trying to convince all the other neighborhood children to join their gang. Hmm, maybe they will just dedicate time to coming up with a signature cocktail for the summer. Life is good, despite the dead lawn. First season with Idaho Shakespeare Festival.

Shakespearience presents a 50-minute Shakespeare play for junior and senior high schools and Idaho Theater for Youth (ITY) visits elementary schools with newly commissioned work or innovative new plays. In 2014, Shakespearience presented Romeo and Juliet and ITY presented The Jabberwocky by Dakotah Brown, Noah Moody, and Chad Shohet. The Festival’s education department has been creating and implementing custom curriculum for schools and groups year-round since its beginning. Idaho Shakespeare Festival can develop workshops and/or residencies for schools to fit any schedule and to complement any established curriculum. Our experienced and lively educators can teach performance skills, or techniques that are specific to programs students are working on in the classroom or on stage. We can even help your students dive into a full musical theater experience. Idaho Shakespeare’s education department can develop a class that will support any curriculum! The Festival Apprentice Company is composed of high school students who have auditioned to spend their summer receiving hands-on training in professional theater. Since 1981, more than 400 apprentices and interns have received training. Apprentices receive over 200 hours of intensive training in voice, movement, acting and technical theater. Each year, the Apprentice Company creates and performs a showcase of their summer’s work, which includes appearances with members of the professional company. This year’s Apprentice Showcase will take place on August 11, on the Festival stage at 7:00 p.m. • The Festival is the largest provider of professional, performing arts outreach in the State of Idaho. The Helena Project 2014 Apprentice Company APPRENTICE INSTRUCTORS Each spring semester, students (from preschool through 12th grade) take theater classes focused on expanding the imagination and nurturing creativity. From acting and improv to musical theater—students explore language, story, character and acting technique as they build their confidence, expand upon their talents, and enhance their problem-solving skills. The Helena Project was developed to give students at St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital an opportunity to learn Shakespeare, to perform, to build esteem—and most importantly, to have fun. These students from a variety of grade levels have various learning abilities; and are often facing severe medical challenges. This curriculum has the ability to bring together groups of disparate students facing a wide range of challenges. It includes theater warm-ups, games, a synopsis and character introduction from the play, as well as rehearsal techniques, and initial performance opportunities. Takeaway props are also given to each child to reinforce and solidify the lesson plan and to encourage ongoing thoughts about the experience. After missing just 10 days of school, students undergoing treatment for cancer, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell, or Crohn’s disease are at high risk for having to repeat an entire grade. • The School of Theater exemplifies the Festival’s attempts to foster life-long learning and appreciation of the theater. “At the deepest level the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source.” – R A C H E L N A O M I R E M E N , • More than 300 Treasure Valley students attend sessions each year. Even the most at-risk students can learn Shakespeare. • Through its school tours, the Festival annually reaches 50,000 schoolage children and their teachers, in about 90% of Idaho’s counties, with a particular emphasis on rural and underserved areas. The tours also reach areas in eastern Oregon and northern Nevada. • Since its inception in 1986, Shakespearience has enriched the lives of over 1,000,000 students.

The newest acquisition for the Foundation was the purchase of the 12 acres adjacent to Idaho Shakespeare Festival and the Barber Pool. We are now raising funds to remediate and complete the purchase of the property. “This other Eden, this Demi Paradise, This fortress built by Nature herself Against infection and the head of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, If you love the Shakespeare setting in a natural paradise, please help with this newest acquisition. This precious stone set in a silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm.” You can go to www.idaholands.org for more information and to donate.

[GUESS the shakespeare play] the shakespeare rebus THEY SAY that Shakespeare’s plays have been translated into every major language in the world. But we venture to guess the scholarly types might have missed one—ours. At Foerstel, we spend a good deal of time communicating in visual expression. So we’ve translated a few of The Bard’s play titles into a language we’re more familiar with.
