Honorary Memoriam

From the Artistic Director

It is a pleasure to welcome back playwright Joe DiPietro for his fifth premiere here at George Street Playhouse!

I am truly astonished at the breadth of his talent! From the wild farce of The Toxic Avenger to the drama of Creating Claire and the comic/drama of Clever Little Lies, now running at the West Side Theatre in Manhattan, he explores all genres.

And now the sensational historical romance of The Second Mrs.Wilson.

The extremely gifted Artistic Director of Long Wharf Theatre, Gordon Edelstein, brings a remarkable company of Tony Award-winning actors, the top rank of actors working in American theatre today, to breathe astonishing life into these characters from a little known chapter of American history.

I know you will be captivated by this fascinating story of what many think of as our first Female President.

Enjoy,

David Saint Artistic Director

A Timeline

“ Wilson left for Paris to broker a peace treaty [and]… returned to discover that Republicans had actively, sometimes secretly, built opposition to it — without even knowing what the treaty stipulated… Recognizing insurmountable resistance on Capitol Hill, even after hosting an unprecedented working meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the White House, Wilson attempted an end run around the Senate: he took his case directly to the people. During a 29-city tour, he slowly captured public support. But then he collapsed on a train between Pueblo, Colo., and Wichita, Kan., and had to be rushed back to the White House. Days later he suffered a stroke, which his wife, his physician and a handful of co-conspirators concealed from the world, leaving Mrs. Wilson to decide, in her words, ‘what was important and what was not.’”

– By A. SCOTT BERG; Excerpt from Wilson to Obama: March Forth!The New York Times; Mar 1, 2013; Copyright © 2013, The New York Times Company

“I, myself, never made a single decision regarding the disposition of public affairs. The only decision that was mine was what was important and what was not, and the very important decision of

when to present matters to my husband.”– Edith Wilson on her role during the President’s illness

Nureyev’s Eyesby David Rush

directed by Michael Mastro

February 2–21, 2016

moving”– broadwayworld.com

“It’s in the eyes – they’re the hardest to get,” says painter Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) as he struggles to commit brush to canvas. The subject is none other than Russian defector and ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, whom he has doggedly pursued to sit for him. Rudy’s patience is running thin as Jamie struggles not only to begin to paint, but to emerge from the shadow of his famous family. What started as a simple relationship between a painter and his fiery model becomes a deep friendship in which the two men trade poses, barbs, jokes and unrevealed truths. A riveting fictional account of the very real interaction between two great artists.
