As of this writing, there are three books about the Eastland, each of which were enormously helpful in their own way, and I owe each of the authors an enormous debt of gratitude for their scholarship, research, and generosity of spirit and time.

Jay Bonansinga’s book The Sinking of the Eastland: America’s Forgotten Tragedy was my principle source. His skillful, suspenseful, and 360-degree panoramic painting of that day provides not only a minute-by-minute recounting of the events, but also finely-detailed portraits of many of those affected by the disaster, including, among many others, Bobbie Aanstad, Reggie Bowles and Otto Muchna. You can find Jay’s book at jaybonansinga.com/eastland-disaster.

George Hilton’s book Eastland: Legacy of the Titanic provides a comprehensive and richly-detailed history of the boat itself, a wealth of technical information and well-documented theories about what led to the disaster, as well as about the civil and criminal trials that followed.

Ted Wachholz’s book The Eastland Disaster was my primary reference for the information about the Western Electric plant in Cicero where the fictional character Ilse works, as well as the events of July 24, 1915. Ted’s wife Barb Decker and her sister Susan are the granddaughters of the real-life Bobbie. Their organization, the Eastland Disaster Historical Society, is dedicated to keeping the stories and memories of these events alive, and it is an amazing resource with information about every detail you could possibly imagine from that day and its aftermath – from the manifest of passengers, to the history of the boat and theories about why it tipped, to the burial sites of the victims. You can find out more at eastlanddisaster.org.

Additional resources include the WTTW documentary, “Chicago Stories: The Eastland Disaster” produced by Harvey Moshman and Chuck Coppola. My thanks go, too, to the wonderful staff at the Chicago History Museum and the many other scholars and descendants of those on the Eastland who encouraged me along the way.

Despite my reliance on these sources, however, let me be clear: this play is a work of fiction. The events are true, and some of the play’s characters are based on actual people who were involved with the Eastland disaster: Bobbie and her family are based on Bobbie Aanstad who in reality was trapped under the hull with her family (not alone, as portrayed here) for more than eleven hours; Reggie is based on Reggie Bowles, who spent the entire day diving into the dirty Chicago river recovering bodies; Otto is based on undertaker Otto Muchna, who spent the following days and weeks preparing and burying the hundreds of dead; Pedersen is based on Harry Pedersen, Captain of the S. S. Eastland on that fateful day. But while some accounts of their experiences and thoughts that day exist – interviews, newspaper reports, trial transcipts, etc. – I used these, by necessity, as a point of departure rather than arrival, and their thoughts and dialogue as portrayed here are entirely imagined and fictional.

Lastly, none of this writing would have been possible without the support, encouragement, and vetting by my Writers Group friends, my incredible Lookingglass family, and my equally incredible actual family, Shari, Julia and Asher.

AUTHOR’S NOTE BY ANDREW WHITE

IN CONVERSATIONwith Andrew White and Amanda Dehnert Interview by Literary Manager MARTI LYONS

How did this collaboration come about?Andrew White: I knew pretty quickly that I’d written a play that had challenges beyond my skill-set as a director, so I wanted to find someone with a great imagination, preferably someone who was comfortable with musicals. Throughout our conversations, it became clear that Amanda was a great collaborative partner who I had a great connection with. It felt right immediately. Amanda Dehnert: It really did. I was so excited when I first read Eastland. It’s such a beautiful ghost story, and I love ghost stories. I love working with music and I love working with new material, so for me it was just my wish list of all of my favorite things rolled into one.How is this piece inspired by historical fact and how is it fiction?AW: It is inspired by historical fact. Everything that takes place in the play takes place within the context of the events on July 24, 1915. There are also real life characters who are represented in the play, so it’s very much connected to real life events and real people. Simultaneously, for me as a writer it’s also a meditation on other things, things that have everything to do with the events of the day but are also much broader than that. It has to do with mortality, death, longing, and loss, and many of the other things that make us human and are present for all of us in our daily lives. AD: When we reflect on our history, what we’re really looking for is meaning within the events. Not just what happened on this day in Chicago, but what did it mean for the people at that time? And what does it still mean for us now? It’s about using this historical moment to understand a universal human truth, which is: we’re born, we live, and we die. That doesn’t have to be only a terrifying thing. It’s a mysterious thing, and this piece lets us talk about that on all sorts of levels. AW: As Amanda said on the 1st day of rehearsal, it’s the story of this event, but it’s also the story of us creating the event. We’re creating the piece with the people who are in the room with us: the cast, the director, the writer, the musicians, and the composers. It’s a work in process. These individuals and the experiences we’ve had all contribute to the final creation. When did the inspiration for the piece hit? AW: The thing I was most struck by initially was the fact that even though I’d lived in Chicago for more than 20 years, I had never heard of the Eastland. That there was this tragic momentous event in our own backyard less than a hundred years ago and most Chicagoans have no idea. In the wake of September 11, 2001 and Hurricane Katrina, we as a country have all been thinking about how we respond to disasters, especially when something happens so close to home. The question I was interested in was: Why is this forgotten? Why does nobody know of this even though we literally

pass by the site on a regular basis? The Sinking of the Eastland: America’s Forgotten Tragedy by Jay Bonansinga then became my primary reference point. It’s a great telling of the tale, and Bonansinga lifts out a number of characters who become great vehicles to tell the whole story. How did you solidify the team of artists to collaborate on this project?AW: I knew early on that I was going to write this in verse. I didn’t want it to be a docudrama, a court transcript, or a dramatized version of the events. These people would need to express themselves in verse form, which on stage usually means in song. At the time, I was working with Andre Pluess and Ben Sussman on another musical, and they were the obvious partners for Eastland. The instrumentation, musicality and style we were working with at the time seemed like a perfect match. AD: When you’re directing a new piece of theatre, you have to look at what kind of piece of theatre it is. Not every musical is the same kind of musical. I look at Eastland and say what’s the story? How does it need to get told? For a long time as a director you’re just responsible for listening to the writers talk and trying to ask smart questions without having any particular agenda. Then ultimately, you look at it and go, Well, its gonna have to turn into a world, not in our heads, but manifest in a room. Who are the people who are going to do that? The first stage direction is “An inside of a boat turned on its side.” How do you do that in a theatre? Are you trying to make it look like a real boat? Are you trying to represent a boat? Where are we? Those questions start to happen and you start to figure out how to answer them. You add more and more artists to the fold as you go, always trying to keep their noses pointed toward what the thing is about. Then you let them do what they’re good at. I’m fortunate to be working with amazing people from the Lookingglass family, not the least of whom has been Dan Ostling – realizing the physical world for Eastland within a theatre has been by far the most amazing and rewarding challenge.AW: We are working with traditional and nontraditional frames. The goal was finding a way to create something that had pleasing or “hooky” things that would grab an audience the way moments in great musicals do, but also to have room for nontraditional moments where the audience is not able to sit back in their comfort zone. AD: There are times when this piece operates as a song cycle. There are times when it operates as chamber opera. There are times when it operates as play. There are times when it operates as a tone poem. You put all of those together and we can call it a musical, but it’s this musical, you know? It’s unlike anything else I’ve worked on yet.

JEANNE T. ARRIGO (Sister, Musician and others) is over the moon to be performing with Lookingglass Theatre Co. again, having played Ilse for the staged reading of Eastland last year for the “In The Works” series at Millennium Park; she is so pleased to have the

opportunity to help bring Andy’s beautiful poetry and Andre and Ben’s evocative music to a broader audience in the full production of this new work. Jeanne was most recently seen at the Chicago Cultural Center’s DCA theatre this past spring in another new work, Las Hermanas Padilla, with Chicago Fusion Theatre. Prior to that, she worked with Griffin Theatre Co. in their national fall tour of Letters Home. Other credits include playing the marvelous Chloe in Lips Together, Teeth Apart with Remarcable Productions; Woody Guthrie’s American Song with BlindFaith Theatre Co. and past work with Steep Theatre Co. and Illinois Theatre Center.

Thanks so much to Amanda, Andy, Phil, Andre, Ben, Jenny, and the whole Lookingglass family. As always, immeasurable love goes to Brett for his uncompromising patience and support. Jeanne would like to dedicate this performance (and all those in the forseeable future!) to her mom, Alice Arrigo, who ‘shuff’ld’ off this mortal coil’ on March 10 of this year; Mom was so looking forward to seeing Eastland. Jeanne carries her mom’s joy and excitement with her now, and hopes you’ll take some home with you, too.

The Eastland Disaster Historical Society (EDHS) is the chief custodian of the history of the Eastland Disaster and, more importantly, the oral histories and remembrances of descendants of families who were directly affected by the tragedy. In fourteen short years EDHS has not only legitimized the importance of the history of the Eastland Disaster, we have also altered the collective historical consciousness of society regarding the Eastland Disaster.

EVERY FAMILY HAS A STORY. If you have a personal connection to the Eastland Disaster – an ancestor who was a survivor or victim, or someone who arrived too late to board, or perhaps someone who assisted with the rescue, recovery, and relief – we ask that you contact us. EVERY FAMILY HAS A STORYTELLER. Perhaps it’s you. Do not let your family stories fade away, please contact EDHS soon.
