From the artistic Director

Welcome to Wait Until Dark. our excitement for this play is two-fold. first, producing a thriller is, well, thrilling. the inherent design, directorial and performance demands are somehow different from any other genre as they must be intimately integrated to create suspense. second, taking a classic thriller set in 1966 and reimagining it in 1944 makes the play feel entirely new.

tonight’s drama, while rooted in a classic, has taken on a new life of its own. having produced Jeffrey hatcher’s a Picasso in 2007, we are so pleased that he accepted our commission to take a fresh look at frederick Knott’s original script. in tonight’s adaptation Jeffrey has adjusted language, time, space and character without losing either the center of Knott’s original plucky protagonist or the suspense the play has instilled in audiences since its premiere in new York in 1966. one of the most endearing endorsements of Jeffrey’s new version has come from mr. Knott’s daughter, Ann Knott. We are grateful for her permission to re-imagine her late father’s classic and for her enthusiasm to see her father’s work from a renewed perspective.

Director matt shakman has assembled and guided an excellent ensemble of actors and an artful team of designers. Alison Pill, who thoroughly embodies susan, a recently blind woman plunged into darkness and dire circumstances, leads the cast of like professionals, each creating a vivid character to enhance the evening. every detail of the design has been carefully chosen to illuminate the storytelling, heighten the suspense and quicken the pulse.

With great pleasure we welcome you to sit back and enjoy the ride that is Wait Until Dark. the gasps you hear may well be your own.

enjoy the show!

We Are honoreD to Welcome You here to our theAter and to our world premiere adaptation of frederick Knott’s Wait Until Dark. thank you for your support and participation in one of the oldest and most precious art forms there is: live theater.

As we come to the second anniversary of the sudden passing of our founder, gil cates, i am reminded once again, what a treasure of an organization he created. Additionally, i think how incredibly fortunate we were to have had time with this gifted and humane man, and to share in the joy of building an organization that continues to bring so much to all of our lives, and will, for future generations to come.

i would also like to take this time to thank you, our incredible Board, Advisory Board, corporate and foundation funders, our staff, and other individuals who have so clearly stood with us, during a time of great loss and transition. You have not only helped keep gil’s vision and values alive, you have helped us build an organization that will continue to chart new territory and grow beyond original expectations.

As you watch Wait Until Dark, i hope it will remind you what a precious and remarkable gift and art form live theater is for all of us. i also hope it will remind you to continue to support this one-of-a-kind theater and institution, founded by a one-of-a-kind man, and built by all of us. from all of us on the Board of Directors, our profound gratitude to all who have stepped forward to keep this gem of a theater and institution growing and going.

this will be my last open letter to you as your chairman. i have decided after seven years of leading the Board that it is time to turn over the reins to someone else. We leave the theater in excellent financial shape, free of debt and producing an eight show season with additional entertainment coming from our newly created spotlight series. it has been a pleasure to serve our community and the geffen in this capacity. i know the new leadership will continue to maintain the values that have been created for this special place and will continue to create a “little bit of magic” here on le conte.

now, i invite you to sit back, hold on tight to the hand of your date and enjoy Wait Until Dark.

With gratitude,

Frank G. Mancuso Chairman, geffen Playhouse

From staGe liGhts to klieG liGhtsthe Journey From theater to Filmby amy levinson

it is not uncommon for some of hollywood’s best films to find their sources in the theater. in recent years such plays as rabbit hole by David lindsay-Abaire, Doubt by John Patrick shanley and Farragut north (re-titled as the ides of march) by Beau Willimon have made their way from the stage to the screen with stellar results. usually, though not always, playwrights adapt their own work for the screen which is part of why the work translates as well as it does. here are a few examples of the ‘who and how’ involved with great adaptations for screens large and small.

wait until Darkthe stage version of Wait Until Dark was written by frederick Knott in 1966, and had its world premiere that same year. only one year later, the film, under the same title, was directed by terence Young with an unforgettable score by henry mancini. Audrey hepburn and Alan Arkin starred with a supporting cast of richard crenna, Jack Weston and efrem zimbalist, Jr. in this instance, the screenplay adaptation was not written by the playwright but by screenwriter robert carrington. Audrey hepburn, in her portrayal of suzy, was nominated for an oscar but lost to Katherine hepburn’s performance in guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

forty-seven years after the play first premiered, Jeffrey hatcher was commissioned by the geffen to adapt Knott’s original play. now placed in 1944, hatcher has captured all of the menace of Knott’s original but given an added richness to both the antagonists and protagonist. this production is the world premiere of hatcher’s new adaptation of Wait Until Dark.

Dial m For murDerconsidered by some to be frederick Knott’s most successful play, Dial m for murder would also become a famous film directed by none other than Alfred hitchcock. A little known fact, prior to writing this for the stage, it was a BBc television production. it premiered at the Westminster theatre in victoria, london, in June 1952. Directed by John fernald and starring Alan macnaughtan and Jane Baxter, this production was followed in october 1952 by a successful Broadway run. reginald Denham directed richard Derr, gusti huber and John Williams

who was awarded a tony for Best supporting Actor for his role as chief inspector hubbard. hitchcock subsequently cast Williams to reprise the role in the film.

Knott wrote the screenplay for the 1954 hollywood movie for Warner Brothers starring ray milland, grace Kelly and robert cummings. in June 2008, the American film institute revealed its “ten top ten” list — the best ten films in ten “classic” American film genres. Dial m for murder was ranked the ninth best film in the mystery genre. like Wait Until Dark, the transition into film was seamless. Knott became known for his strong female characters in peril and haunted his audiences as much with what we imagine as what we actually see with our own eyes. his plays and films were truly ground-breaking psychological thrillers.

PyGmalion & my Fair LADythe thriller genre certainly doesn’t corner the market on successful adaptations from stage to screen. george Bernard shaw wrote Pygmalion in the spring of 1912. A film, a Broadway musical and a musical film were to follow and would launch careers, break records and endure through the years as one of the best plays/musicals/films ever to be written. When shaw finished Pygmalion he decided upon mrs. Patrick campbell to play the lead. she proceeded to have a nervous break- down necessitating the postponement of the show. When it finally premiered in london in April 1914, shaw directed the production which proved to be a tumultuous experience. on a nightly basis at least one of the actors or shaw himself would storm out of rehearsal. in 1938, a film version of Pygmalion emerged that would serve as the structure for what would become lerner and loewe’s beloved musical play, my Fair lady. this musical would turn out to be a game changer for a young actress by the name of Julie Andrews. the role of eliza Doolittle had been offered first to mary martin while higgins had been offered to noel coward. When coward and martin turned down the roles, rex harrison and Julie Andrews were approached and accepted. After hearing only two songs from

the score, moss hart agreed to direct the production. on opening night of the out of town tryout, rex harrison, who was unaccustomed to singing in front of a live orchestra, announced “that under no circumstances would he go on that night ... with those thirty-two interlopers in the pit.” he locked himself in his dressing room and finally emerged with little more than an hour until curtain. But while he was now ready to go on, the rest of the cast had already been dismissed for the evening and the stage crew and producers still on hand were forced to go out and collect the actors from the neighborhood pubs. in the end, opening night was a success.1 the musical premiered on Broadway march 15, 1956, and closed september 29, 1962 after 2,717 performances, a record at the time.

An oscar-winning film version was made in 1964, directed by george cukor with harrison reprising his role as henry higgins. the casting of Audrey hepburn instead of Julie Andrews as eliza was controversial, partly because theatergoers regarded Andrews as perfect for the part and partly because hepburn’s singing voice had to be dubbed by marni nixon. Jack Warner, the head of Warner Brothers, who produced the film, wanted “a star with a great deal of name recognition,” and Julie Andrews had no screen experience at the time. Andrews went on to star in mary Poppins that same year and beat out Audrey hepburn for the oscar in the best actress category.

Doubtin more recent years, an example of an extraordinary play that became an exceptional film is John Patrick shanley’s Doubt. the play, having premiered off-Broadway, moved to Broadway in march of 2005 and went on to win the tony for Best Play as well as the Pulitzer Prize. in addition, all four actors in the production, cherry Jones, Brian f. o’Byrne, heather goldenhersh and Adriane lenox were nominated for tony Awards with wins for Jones and lenox. three years later when the elegant film, written and directed by shanley, was released, once again the actors in the four main roles were lauded and nominated for oscars.

how can one evening at the theater change history? the unfolding of events of April 14, 1865 did just that as the lives of those in the audience and those in our country would never be the same. uncovering Abraham lincoln’s White house piano and many of the era’s personalities to tell these stories best, hershey felder regales us with a stunningly new and insightful look at the artistry, politics and individuals surrounding that fateful night at ford’s theatre. from vaudeville to minstrel shows to American hymns and songs of patriotism, felder’s signature storytelling and music reminds us of our collective history

and how the history of the brave emboldens us all.

california ranks dead last — 50th out of the 50 states — in the amount spent per child and adult on the arts: 14 cents per person.

the city of los Angeles has a budget of only $3.7 million a year to support the arts, versus new York city’s support of $29 million and san francisco’s $13 million for the arts.

Your support changes lives — inspiring profoundly disadvantaged youth across los Angeles county to stay in school and to realize their potential as writers, critical thinkers, and much more through their time and work with geffen artists, casts and teaching artists.

Your support gives veterans and their families the opportunity not only to experience our plays at no charge throughout the year — but also to feel honored, recognized and welcomed home.

Your support gives recently emancipated foster youth, women and families living in domestic violence shelters, and many other isolated populations the opportunity to feel connected to society, experience relief through entertainment, and gain renewed strength and perspective through plays and workshops with our artists and casts.

Your support brings unparalleled strength, insight, humanity and hope to those working hard to transition out of homelessness, through season-long work with geffen artists and performances.

Your gift improves our economy. every dollar spent on the arts generates more than $11 in revenue to the surrounding community.

You will have a role in bringing each play to life this coming year. subscriptions and single ticket sales cover only half of the costs of our nonprofit operations and productions.

Your gift will give more than 25,000 profoundly disadvantaged children, youth, seniors and adults access to the one-of-a-kind beauty, power and inspiration of live theater.

Your support improves the quality of life for all of us.

Play a role in bringing the transformative power of live theater to as many people as possible in the coming year. support the arts and access to the arts for all.

Imagine being a 14-year-old who, on top of the normal angst and pressure most young people experience at this age, was also surrounded by the lure of gangs, drugs and more in a neighborhood where most adults do not have a high school diploma. How could you believe you would make it to graduation when so few, if any, adults in your neighborhood did so?Boyle Heights is only 11 miles from the Geffen Playhouse, but it might as well be 11,000 miles away. In fact, when we brought the first busload of our students to a play at the Geffen a few months back, some asked if we had travelled to a different state. They couldn’t believe how green it was here. They had never been to such a beautiful building. They had never been east of Downtown Los Angeles. Fourteen-year-olds who had never been more than a few miles outside of their neighborhoods. I am the principal of these students who attend Mendez High School — a public high school in Boyle Heights, East Los Angeles. My parents brought me here to Boyle Heights when I was five. Neither of my parents had completed more than elementary school. But they knew the power of education to change lives. Several years ago, I graduated from UCLA with a Master’s in education. I am back in Boyle Heights to give back, to help more kids get on a greater path in life. We were shocked when the Geffen Playhouse answered our call for help last year at this time. As is the case for most high schools in economically depressed neighborhoods across LA and across the US, we were losing too many 14-year-olds each year who decided to give up because they didn’t think they could ever make it to 12th grade. Less than 50% obtain a high school diploma. This is abysmal not only for them, but for all of us, and for the generations who will follow in their footsteps and in this downward spiral if nothing is done. One of the top reasons 14-year-olds make the disastrous decision to drop out of high school? They are acutely aware of how far behind they are academically and are convinced they won’t be able to catch up to meet the requirements to graduate. One of the most painful reminders of how far behind they are? Daily struggles with even basic writing tasks. Kids so far behind they don’t even know how to write one sentence in response to a teacher’s question, let alone a coherent essay.Writing is a complex skill, as we all know. Even the most celebrated, prolific writers of all time have shared their dread for writing. How can we help kids who are so frozen with fear about writing that they will drop out of high school instead of having to learn how to do it? The Geffen answered our call for help. The organization worked with us to develop a year-long runway of experiences and classroom work with teaching artists and experts from UCLA to gradually build students’ comfort and success with critical thinking and writing — skills that will jet propel them for life. Leveraging the rich and novel experience of seeing each Geffen play throughout the year, and working with the Geffen’s world-class teaching artists to decipher and interpret the plays in ways that comfortably forced them to organize and express their thoughts, these young people developed muscle, clarity and confidence in writing, in speaking, in life. I can tell you that because of the Geffen Playhouse program at our school this past year, 70% of the youth are now on track to graduate. Our school was just cited as one of the top in LA for improvements in the literacy scores of its students. We have to share this model and get it out to more schools across Los Angeles. With your help, we will. We know you understand the precious, one-of-a-kind value of live theater. Hopefully, this letter has underscored its value even more. Please include the Geffen Playhouse in your year-end charitable giving this year. We have a lot more work to do. My deepest gratitude to you for reading this long letter, and for considering an investment in these children and in their futures. Sincerely,

Mauro Bautista Principal, Mendez High School
