FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
DEAR FRIENDS,
COMMUNITY is at the heart of the theatre experience. The plays we bring to vibrant life
onstage are completed by you, our friends. That is when the gasps, the cheers and the laughs
complete the connection and theatre comes alive. In our 48th season of professional theatre
in our community, I invite you to settle into the comfortable world of our state-of-the-art theatre
and connect with us to make the circle complete. Join with us for a world premiere of a new
play from an Emmy Award-winning writer; the regional premiere of an off-Broadway hit musical;
the gorgeous vitality of one of Shakespeare’s most loved stories. You’ll always find the work we do world class…
but none of it is finished without our connection to you. See you at the theatre,
David Ira Goldstein

ABOUT THE PLAY
CHRISTOPHER DURANG: AN ORIGINAL WITH AN ANARCHIC SPIRIT
PLAYWRIGHT CHRISTOPHER DURANG grew up in New Jersey, the
only child of charismatic but troubled parents. His interest in theatre
was encouraged by his parents, and he attended many performances
as a child. He wrote his first play as a second-grader, an adaptation of
an I Love Lucy episode. When his mother told his teacher about it, his
class at Lady of Peace Catholic School performed the two-page play.
Durang attended the Delbarton School from seventh to twelfth grade
and, much to his surprise, was accepted at Harvard, which he attended
hoping to become a well-rounded writer. His college years were
Playwright Christopher
marked by a deep depression that lasted from the end of his freshman
Durang.
year to the summer after his junior year. He was dealing with the
divorce of his parents, his father’s alcoholism, the guilt of having to testify against his father in
court, his disillusionment with the Catholic Church, and his realization that he was gay. By his
senior year, Durang’s depression lifted in part because he was selected to be one of 15 people to
attend William Alfred’s playwriting class.
Following college, Durang attended Yale School of Drama, where he continued to write and
perform. Among his classmates were Sigourney Weaver, Wendy Wasserstein, Meryl Streep and
Albert Innaurato. Yale provided an environment in which he thrived, experimenting and taking
risks in his writing. Shortly after he graduated, he scored a great coup in having his play The Idiots
Karamazov, written with Innaurato, performed at Yale Repertory Theatre.
Among Durang’s best-known plays are A History of the American Film, The Actor’s Nightmare, Sister
Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You, Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette
and Boo, Laughing Wild, and Durang Durang (an evening of six plays, including the Tennessee
Williams parody For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls).
In the early 1980s, Durang and Sigourney Weaver co-wrote and performed their acclaimed
Brecht-Weill parody Das Lusitania Songspiel and were both nominated for Drama Desk Awards for
Best Performer in a Musical. In 1993, he performed alongside Julie Andrews in the five-person
off-Broadway Sondheim revue Putting It Together. He also played a singing congressman in the
Encores presentation of Call Me Madam with Tyne Daly.
In 1996, he was commissioned by the Rodgers and Hammerstein Foundation to write a book for
Babes in Arms and the same year Sex and Longing opened on Broadway, starring Weaver.
Additional recent plays include Betty’s Summer Vacation, the musical Adrift in Macao, with music
by Peter Melnick, Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge and Why Torture is Wrong, and the
People Who Love Them. Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike was commissioned and originally
produced by McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, N.J., before the production moved to Broadway,
where it won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play.
For the past two decades, Durang has co-chaired, with Marsha Norman, the Playwriting Program
at The Juilliard School in Manhattan. He has lived for 23 years in a farmhouse on a hill in Bucks
County, PA, with his partner, John Augustine.

ABOUT THE PLAY
Christopher Durang is relentlessly entertaining. Whether his play is a burlesque of other playwrights
or an annihilation of the happy American family, or a vitriolic challenge to organized religion,
homophobia, psychoanalysis, or parenthood, the plays are constantly arousing their audiences with
hilarity and mirth. He succeeds because of the extraordinary fertility of his imagination, inventiveness,
courage, and audacity. Blessed with twin gifts – originality and an anarchic spirit – he provides an
audience with unruly laughter and outlandish amusement.
Howard Stein – “Introduction” to Christopher Durang: 27 Short Plays, Smith and Kraus, 1995
I love the plays of Chekhov, which I read mostly in college and in my 20s. At a certain point I realized
that I was now old, and the age of Vanya. Indeed I’m older than Vanya in the script, and so I thought
of writing a play wondering what if my life had been more like Vanya’s.
The other reason I thought of this is I don’t live in New York City anymore, I live in a pretty place in
Bucks County, PA. And, you know, I chose to move here, but it made me remember that in Chekhov,
the people who lived in the country seemed the most unhappy. They were very envious of their
relatives who were in the city or are traveling around like Madame Arkadina from The Seagull, who
is a famous actress wandering the Continent.
So I decided to write a play: what if I had lived in this house in Bucks County all my life and I was
feeling bitter and things hadn’t worked out and then I had an adopted sister with me named Sonia and
she was bitter and we were both envious of our sibling Masha who’s a movie star – because I set it in
the present time. So it’s about these two bitter people and this actress and she shows up with her boy
toy Spike, who is in his 20s and she’s had five unhappy marriages and now she’s with Spike.
Christopher Durang, in conversation with Joe Dowling, spring 2013
BRUSH UP ON YOUR CHEKHOV
The play is not based on Chekhov, nor is it a parody of Chekhov. Chekhov is more of a personal jumpingoff point for me. It’s as if I took characters and themes from Chekhov and put them in a blender.
Christopher Durang – “Author’s Note” to Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, New York: Dramatists
Play Service, 2014
VANYA takes his name from the title character of Uncle Vanya, who has spent years managing the
estate of his brother-in-law and in middle age realizes he’s wasted his life. Durang’s Vanya,
however, is milder of manner and considerably less violent than his namesake. He’s also inspired
by the character of Konstantin in The Seagull, the son of the famous actress Madame Arkadina.
Konstantin writes a play, which the neighbor girl (and his love interest) Nina performs toward the
beginning of The Seagull.
SONIA’s namesake is also found in Uncle Vanya, the niece of the title character. She’s hardworking
but plain and carries an unrequited love for the local doctor. Her life with Vanya is disrupted when
her father and his new, much younger wife come to visit. Durang’s Sonia often directly quotes
lines from Chekhov’s plays (consciously and not). Nina in The Seagull has an affinity for seagulls,
whereas Sonia has discovered that she is like a wild turkey.
13
ABOUT THE PLAY
Chekhov named two characters MASHA, one in The Seagull who pines for Konstantin and one in Three
Sisters who pines for Moscow. And while Durang’s Masha says that the Three Sisters Masha is her namesake (and a role she was born to play), she also shares DNA with the actress Madame Arkadina from
The Seagull, who fudges about her age, ignores family needs in favor of her younger paramour, travels
frequently to take acting roles and whose visit to the family home upsets the lives of the residents.
NINA most closely identifies with Nina in The Seagull, who aspires to be an actress and who is
star-struck to meet the famous actress next door. Both Ninas gamely take part in an experimental
play-within-a-play. Durang’s Nina, however, has an optimism and sunny disposition that is rarely
found among the people that populate Chekhov’s work.
CASSANDRA’s namesake is found in Greek mythology. She was a Trojan princess who was given
the gift of prophecy by Apollo to seduce her. When she refused him, he altered the gift: though
she spoke truth, no one would believe her prophecies. Cassandra’s prophetic skills in Durang’s
play may be dubious, but then we wouldn’t believe her anyway, so how do we know?
SPIKE is firmly rooted in the 21st century. Durang has said he chose the name because it’s modern
and “is meant to be jarring.”
ANTON CHEKHOV (1860–1904) was a Russian doctor and writer.
He established his voice as a writer of short stories, eventually turning
his attention to the stage, for which he wrote four major plays:
The Seagull (1896), Uncle Vanya (1897), Three Sisters (1901) and
The Cherry Orchard (1904), in addition to an earlier work, Ivanov (1887).
Chekhov referred to his plays as comedies, except Three Sisters, which
he considered a drama. In his plays he explored themes such as
marriage, unrequited love, regret and possession of property. He wanted
his characters to be recognizable and relatable, and for the audience
Playwright Anton Chekhov.
to feel a connection to them and how they expressed themselves
(or failed to). Chekhov best described his own work: “What happens onstage should be just as
complicated and just as simple as things are in real life. People are sitting at a table having dinner,
that’s all, but at the same time their happiness is being created, or their lives are being torn apart.”
VANYA’S SHARED MEMORIES
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike includes a number of regional and pop culture (and high
culture) references throughout the play. Included here are some of the highlights:
THE RELUCTANT DEBUTANTE 1955 light comedy by British playwright William Douglas-Home, in
which a mother mistakenly sets up her debutante daughter on a date with a reported philanderer.
THE ORESTEIA Trilogy of tragedies by Aeschylus about the return home from Troy of the Greek
king Agamemnon, his murder by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover, Clytemnestra’s murder by
her children Electra and Orestes, and Orestes’ trial before Athenian citizens.
THE IMAGINARY INVALID 1673 comedy by French playwright Molière, who wrote the play as he
was ill, and collapsed and died playing the lead role, that of a hypochondriac.

couples who are staying at the same California hotel at the same
time. Maggie Smith and Michael Caine’s characters are visiting from
Britain for the Academy Awards, for which Smith’s character has been
nominated. The film also stars Jane Fonda, Alan Alda, Walter Matthau,
Elaine May, Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor.
THE WAWA A chain of convenience store/fuel stations that traces its history back to a small dairy
processing plant in Wawa, PA, in the early 20th century.

THE BISHOP SHEEN SHOW Life is Worth Living was a television program led by Catholic
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, airing for six years starting in 1952, first on the DuMont Television
Network and later on ABC.
SEÑOR WENCES Spanish ventriloquist Wenceslao Moreno (1896–1999). With makeup and a wig,
he transformed his thumb and forefinger into the impertinent boy character Johnny. He also

DAVY CROCKETT AND HIS COONSKIN CAP Legendary figure of the American frontier, Davy
Crockett (1786–1836) died at the Alamo. His tall tales dating from the 1830s inspired the Hollywood
versions in the mid-20th century, including the 1955 movie Davy Crockett: King of the Wild
Frontier, starring Fess Parker as Davy. Coonskin caps became a huge fad among boys in the U.S.
in the mid-1950s.

Mouseketeers and featured serials within the show, such as The Hardy Boys, which starred Tommy
Kirk and Tim Considine as Joe and Frank Hardy.
VOODOO Religion derived from African polytheism and ancestor worship practiced chiefly
in Haiti, but a Louisiana strain introduced voodoo dolls, gris-gris, voodoo queens and other
practices to American culture.

ABOUT ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY

and Spike. Photo by Joan Marcus.
Now celebrating 48 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 and Managing Director Jessica
L. Andrews, 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 on stage, 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.
OUR VISION Touching lives through the power of theatre.
OUR MISSION To create professional theatre that continually provides new levels of artistic
excellence that resonates locally, in the state of Arizona and throughout the nation. Arizona
Theatre Company strives to:
• Produce a broad repertoire ranging from classics to new works;
• Engage artists to produce theatrical work of the highest caliber;
• Provide an educational bridge between our communities and our work;
• Assure access to the broadest spectrum of citizens;
• Achieve cultural diversity in all endeavors;

The hilarious winner of the
2013 TonyAward for Best Play

woman in a dangerous game that
threatens all she holds dear.

not to mention the piano–in a
witty old-fashioned murder mystery.
“The theater erupts in booming
gusts of laughter that
practically shake the seats.”
– The New York Times
“…a roller-coaster ride
that leaves the audience
giddy from terror.”
– TheaterMania
“Ingenious! A snazzy double-act that
spins out a comic mystery animated
by funny, deftly turned songs.”
