ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S WELCOME
VINCENT M. LANCISI
Founding Artistic Director
T
HIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR TO GO TO THE THEATRE.
The holiday season is in full swing. Life is
busy, hectic even. The hustle and bustle
of this time of year makes me look for
opportunities to get away from the rat
race and seek shelter in a theatre. I love to come
inside and get lost in a story that is far away from
the realities of my day. And if the play is funny or
warm and it engages me, I am delighted. That was
my desire for you in selecting Outside Mullingar
for this time of year.
Playwright John Patrick Shanley may be
American but he really captures his Irish background
in Outside Mullingar.
It’s a valentine to the love for our family,
love for our land, and of course the decades-long
unrequited love found among neighbors. You can
practically smell the peat fire and rain. There’s
something warm, even magical about this play.
I look for that certain special something in
every play I produce. I’m currently in full season
planning mode for next year. I have a long list of
great plays that I’m whittling down in my pursuit
of a rewarding theatrical journey for Everyman
subscribers. I think about the nearly 5,000
subscribers who will see all six productions. I
think about the thousands of audience members
EVERYMAN THEATRE | 6
who will discover Everyman for the first time. I
examine the voices of playwrights writing today
and those of yesterday whose stories bear repeating
or resound anew in the light of contemporary life
and society. I think of Baltimore, of the world, of
me and you.
So far, this season is off to a record-breaking
start. Fences is now the best selling play in
Everyman’s history. When I think of all the new
people who saw that play it makes me smile. If you
could see our high school matinee students’ faces
as they discovered the story, you’d be excited for
them. Their reactions were priceless. They were
engrossed. They found theatre, many for the first
time. Subscribers and new audience members
joined together to bear witness to these two great
plays that resounded to everyone as fascinating,
relevant, eye opening, truthful, important. As
Shakespeare would say, these plays “held the
mirror up to nature.”
We can’t continue to produce fantastic plays
like An Inspector Calls and Fences and offer free
high school matinees and pay-what-you-can
previews and special discounts so everyone can
attend without your help. Please consider a gift to
Everyman Theatre this holiday season.
Everyman in the snow in January 2015
A contribution from you today can make a
real difference for the future. Your gift helps to
keep downtown Baltimore vibrant with cultural
life available to everyone.

HANK YOU FOR READING OUR PROGRAM. IT’S MY HOPE
that when you do, you discover something
interesting or new about us or the play
or the neighborhood. So, in that spirit,
I’d like to offer you 25 things for our 25th
Anniversary I bet you didn’t know about Everyman:
1. We drink Zeke’s coffee in the staff lounge, bar
and green room.
2. We have 23 full-time and 84 seasonal production
employees.
3. We prefer to say the color on our walls is
aubergine, not purple.

capital campaign that made our new home a reality.
5. Over the years, we have provided over 32,000
free tickets to Baltimore City High School students.
6. We have partnered 4 times with Baltimore
School for the Arts and have featured its students

8. We believe professional theatre should be
affordable and accessible to everyone.
9. We raise money year-round to keep our ticket
prices about half of what commercial (Broadway)
prices can be.
10. We have “pay-what-you-can” performances
for every play we produce on the Tuesday before
the first performance.
11. Vinny’s middle name is Michael; my middle
name is Kennedy.

on them seen throughout the building.
20. The parquet floor designed by Tim Mackabee
for An Inspector Calls consisted of about 2,000
individual wooden tiles, all cut and installed by hand.
21. In order to save time during changes from one
production to the next, the floor for the Outside
Mulllingar set was finished in July 2015 and was
then covered over with the floors for Fences and
An Inspector Calls.
22. You can come to our annual gala at The Lord
Baltimore Hotel on January 9, 2016 and celebrate
our silver anniversary and the incredible public
relations maven, Edie Brown.
23. The “E” you see outside on the apex of our
building was discovered when we were restoring
our historic facade. Though you might think it’s
always stood for Everyman, it actually dates back
a hundred years, when this was a vaudeville house
called the Empire Theatre.
24. We cannot do what we do without donations
from you. Please consider a year-end gift of any
amount.
25. We wish you the happiest, warmest holiday
season!

25 YEARS OF EVERYMAN
A TURNING POINT:
2000-2005
By LAURA WEISS
Associate Marketing Director
The 2015-16 Season marks the 25th Anniversary Season for Everyman Theatre. To
celebrate this landmark year, we will be dedicating a space in each program to the
creation of the company in five year segments, each from a different perspective of key
members of the Everyman family. Read past segments online at www.everymantheatre.org

WO OF EVERYMAN’S LONGEST-STANDING PRODUCTION
team members are individuals that
audiences would probably not recognize.
While they are not physically on the stage
every night, their work is certainly seen by
everyone. Bill Jamieson is the theatre’s
Technical Director, responsible for executing all
designs for each production. And Mandy Hall is
the theatre’s Resident Stage Manager. If you look
behind you into the control booth of the theatre,
you will likely see Mandy calling the sound, light
and actor cues to execute the show seamlessly
in front of you. I recently sat down with Bill and
EVERYMAN THEATRE | 8
Mandy to talk about some of their most formative
memories from 2001 to 2005.
“2001 was a hard year,” says Mandy.
“Unfortunately we were hit with two devastating
events within a few months of each other.”
The first event was the tragic passing of
Resident Company Member Elauna Griffin
during the production of Pearl Cleage’s Blues for
An Alabama Sky. Elauna was just 28 years old;
she suffered an acute asthma attack and died
between the matinee and evening performances
on a Saturday.
“The whole cast had gone over to a sound
CELEBRATING THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY
A TURNING POINT: 2000-2005 (cont...)
board operator’s house for dinner between shows,”
says Mandy, tearing up at the memory. “I was
in my office and I got the worst phone call I had
ever received.”
"Elauna's passing devastated everyone at
Everyman," says Founding Artistic Director
Vincent M. Lancisi. "She was such a bright light
to everyone around her."
The cast, along with director Jennifer Nelson
and Vinny, gathered to talk about what they were
to do next. “We decided that we really needed to
go on. We needed to be with each other, grieve
together,” said Mandy. The production resumed
several days later with actress Michelle Rogers
stepping into Elauna's role.
Despite the terrible tragedy, the 2000-01 Season
ended with the critically acclaimed production of
Visiting Mr. Green, starring Stan Weiman and
Kyle Prue. The production was hugely popular
with audiences.
The beginning of the 2001-02 Season was
another hard time—not only for the Everyman
family, but for the country as a whole. The season
opener, Lillian Hellman’s Watch on the Rhine,
was being performed when the September 11
attacks occurred.
“I remember coming in that morning for a
student matinee performance,” says Mandy. “One
of the students who was in the show, Elias, came
in and said ‘Did you hear about the plane hitting
the Tower?’ None of us knew what he meant, and
at that time you didn’t just turn to your phone.”
She remembers digging out an old television in
the dressing room area to find out what was going
on. “I remember watching the Tower fall live on
TV and then having to start the show.”
The performance ended up being stopped
at intermission; students were sent home. The
next day, the evening performance went on as
scheduled. “I think people wanted to have a sense
of being together to get through this horrible
event,” remembers Mandy. “There’s a sense of
community at the theatre. And this particular
show—with themes about war and duty—really
resonated in a way we could have never expected.”
In the winter of 2002, Bill joined the staff
full time as the new Technical Director. His first
day on the job was the beginning of Tech Week
for August Wilson’s Fences on Charles Street. “I
just remember having to jump right in!” says Bill.
Daniel Ettinger designed the set, which included
incorporating the control booth into the design
of the Pittsburgh landscape.
Deborah Hazlett in Everyman’s
production of Hedda Gabbler by
Henrik Ibsen from the 2003-04 Season
“Back in those early days, we didn’t have a
consistent core group for our tech crews,” says
Bill. “So when it came time to breakdown a set,
I rallied up a group of my friends and we took
it all apart.”
Throughout the season, Robin Witt,
Everyman’s Education Director, continued to
grow the educational offerings seen at the theatre.
In the summer of 2002, Everyman offered its
OUTSIDE MULLINGAR | 9
CELEBRATING THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY
A TURNING POINT: 2000-2005 (cont...)
long-standing High School Summer Intensive
program for the first time.
In the winter of 2003, Everyman produced
Moss Hart’s comedy Light Up the Sky, which
marked the first Everyman appearance of current
Resident Company Member Dawn Ursula.
The 2003-04 Season began with a production
of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, with Resident Company
Member Deborah Hazlett in the title role. After
performances in My Children! My Africa!, Taking
Sides, The Crucible, 5th of July and The Last Night
of Ballyhoo, Megan Anderson officially joined the
Resident Company at the beginning of the season,
as well. Then in the winter of 2004, something
big happened.
“Proof stands out as one of my favorites,”
says Bill. “I remember Proof being the first show
that I could hear audible gasps from audience
members at the end of the first act,” says Mandy. The
Pulitzer Prize-winning play Proof took Everyman
by storm. “It was packed. Everyone wanted to see
it,” remembers Mandy.
The cast featured Megan Anderson as
Catherine, Deborah Hazlett as her sister Claire,
Robert McClure as Hal, and current Resident
Company Member Carl Schurr as her father,
Robert (his first Everyman role). The production
broke all box office records and extended for
additional performances, a real turning point in
Everyman’s history.
“Funny story about Proof,” laughs Bill. “Being
a show about extremely complicated proofs, we
had a math consultant that we hired as part of
the production team. On opening night, I heard
a woman in the lobby say ‘The show was amazing,
but the math is wrong on the set.’ I went up to her
and told her we had a consultant, it can’t be wrong.
She turned around and said ‘I am the consultant
and it's wrong.’” Turns out that in painting the
set, which included many chalkboards full of
proofs, some of the math was copied wrong. The
crew completely re-painted the set to ensure that
everything was correct.
The 2003-04 Season ended with another
first for Everyman—the first musical. Jacques
Brel is Alive and Well And Living In Paris ran
EVERYMAN THEATRE | 10
in May and June of 2004. “We didn’t know what
we were doing!” laughs Mandy. “This was such a
different world for us.”
Through trial and error, the production team
made the theatre into a beautiful cabaret setting,
complete with tables, candles and wine that could
be ordered throughout the show. The show was
a huge success.
The 2004-05 Season began with Uncle Vanya.
Brand new Resident Company Member Bruce
Nelson was then featured in the next production,
The Drawer Boy. The Children’s Hour marked the
third collaboration with The Baltimore School for
the Arts, allowing students to perform alongside
professional actors in the cast.
2004 also marked the beginning of a
relationship we are still proud to have today: we
began a partnership with The Library for the Blind
and Physically Handicapped. Cast members would
bring scenes from select shows to the Library and
had audio describers talk about what’s going on
in the scenes. Today, members of The Library
come to the theatre annually for a “Touch Tour”
of the set, where they are invited to explore the set,
props and costumes of a production by feeling the
texture and shapes of what is featured on the stage.
By the end of 2004, there began to be whispers
about wanting to move into a new building. The
space down the street at the old Chesapeake
Restaurant was considered for a time. Even at
that point, we had grown out of the space we once
held on Charles Street.
“This period was very formative for us. Shows
like Proof really announced that we had made it
to a new level,” says Mandy. “I remember when
having 8 people in the audience was a huge success!
It’s incredible to think about that now when we
have so much to be proud of.”
“Even when looking back to these early years,
when we were cramped into a small shop or in
a theatre that wasn’t meant to be a theatre, we
always had a core set of values that centered on
the artists and making the best work we possibly
could,” says Bill. “These values informed the way
we work and continue to shape who we are as an
organization today.”

Director Donald Hicken
at the first rehearsal of
Outside Mullingar alongside
Everyman Founding Artistic
Director Vincent M. Lancisi.
AN INTERVIEW WITH
DIRECTOR DONALD HICKEN
By LAURA WEISS
Associate Marketing Director
B
efore the start of rehearsals, I sat down
with Donald Hicken, director of the
upcoming production of John Patrick
Shanley's Irish romantic comedy Outside
Mullingar. Donald let me in on what to
expect with the next show.
Laura Weiss: How do you approach a script?
Donald Hicken: I read it over and over and over
again. I really need to get inside it, and every
time I read it I feel a deeper connection with it. I
discover something new. Then I begin to see the
actors in the roles, I’m beginning to think of how
they move and where they go. How do they work
with the set that Daniel [Ettinger, set designer of
Outside Mullingar] has designed?
EVERYMAN THEATRE | 12
LW: What is Outside Mullingar about?
DH: Outside Mullingar is about your heritage. It’s
about belonging to your land and a sense of giving
your life to something. I was thinking about the
play as I drove from one side of Massachusetts to
the other—from the ocean to the mountains—and
I felt that real sense of belonging to your land. I
think my country home helps me to understand
this connection to land and where you come from.
LW: Why Outside Mullingar for you this year?
DH: Outside Mullingar was a real surprise for me.
I didn’t know it. I was sent the script and asked
‘What do you think of this?’ and I just loved it! It
was so funny, I was laughing out loud as I first read
the script. It’s a really unique love story, which I
DRAMATURGY (cont...)
find very appealing. It’s about two generations of
people and asks us, how do we relate to each other?
These people communicate in such a genuine way.
They communicate without boundaries. Truly,
reading this script was love at first sight. It’s a
really lovely piece.
This is the first time I’ll have worked with [Resident
Company Member] Beth Hylton. I’ve admired her
work for many years now and I have such respect
for her. I’m really looking forward to diving into
this piece with her.
LW: John Patrick Shanley wrote both the 1989
romantic comedy Moonstruck and Outside
Mullingar. How are they similar?
DH: Both Moonstruck and Outside Mullingar are
about unlikely couples. And I like that! I think it’s
interesting. In both stories, there are these two
people who might not be perfect for each other but
it works. They find a way to discover themselves
throughout each other.
LW: Why should audiences come see Outside
Mullingar during the holiday season?
DH: Outside Mullingar isn’t a traditional holiday
story, but it’s a heartwarming story. It’s a story
about looking to friends and family and neighbors
for connection. The characters are on a journey
towards unity. There’s a sense of wanting to bond
and spend time together over the holidays, so I
think it’s a lovely fit for that time of year.
LW: Tell us about your recent Tony nomination
for Excellence in Theatre Education.
DH: To say it was a whirlwind would be an
understatement! I’ve never been one for celebrity
or flashy awards or anything like that, but this was
truly an honor to have been a part of. I love that
they created this award to celebrate teachers. At a
reception that they threw for [the three finalists],
it was incredible to look around and see all of
these theatre stars talking about the teachers that
influenced them the most. This is a category about
inspiration and I think that’s incredible.

FARMING IN
THE IRISH
COUNTRYSIDE
By LAURA WEISS
Associate Marketing Director
F
Medieval days all the way through World War I.
A group of families would partner and rent land
together. They would divide the land that they
rented and would maintain their respective fields
and pastures. The living area was referred to as a
“clachan,” which was a small cluster of cottages.
Today, Irish agriculture is primarily a grassbased industry. In 2011, there were 6.5 million
cattle, 4.8 million sheep and 1.65 million pigs
living throughout Ireland. There are approximately
99,500 overall farms throughout the country.
Sheep and cattle grazing tend to be seen in the
central and western parts of the country. Dairying
tends to be in the south and small dairy and cattle
farms in the north.
Westmeath County, where Mullingar is
located, tends to feature large farms with very
fertile soil. The chief crops are oats, potatoes,
wheat, barley and clover. Oxen are generally used
in ploughing. Dairy farms aren’t seen as frequently
in this region due to the superior soil, but some

Ireland and continues to be an important
industry for the Irish population. The
agri-food sector currently accounts

While many might immediately
think of potatoes when it comes to Irish farming,
potatoes were actually not native to
Ireland. Spanish explorers brought
potatoes back to Europe from Peru in
the 1500s. Potato farming thrived in
the Irish climate and the potato became
an essential crop, particularly for the
regions of Ireland that were struck
with high poverty. Potatoes played

Playwright John Patrick Shanley
FROM THE STAGE TO
HOLLYWOOD AND BACK AGAIN
By LAURA WEISS

P
LAYWRIGHT. SCREENWRITER. PULITZER PRIZE-WINNER.
Irish. All of these words could be used
to describe John Patrick Shanley. The
accomplished writer for both stage and
screen has written over 20 plays and 10
movies throughout his career.
Born in 1950, Shanley grew up in the Bronx
in a Catholic family. He was the youngest of five
children; his mother was a telephone operator and
his father, an Irish immigrant, was a meat packer.
In a 2008 NPR interview he described his “rough”
working-class neighborhood as “largely Roman
Catholic and Irish and Italian…with some Jews that
kind of kept a low profile.” He also revealed to The
New York Times Magazine that his neighborhood
was “extremely anti-intellectual and extremely
racist and none of this fit me.”
EVERYMAN THEATRE | 16
Shanley found himself rebelling against the
strict rules at Cardinal Spellman School. After
many years of detention and punishment, he left
his home in the Bronx and attended the Thomas
Moore School in New Hampshire. It was there
that his teachers began to recognize his talents
in writing. Shanley was accepted into New York
University but he only attended for one year. He
enlisted with the Marine Corps and served in
Vietnam. He did eventually return to NYU after
his service. At the age of 27, he graduated and was
valedictorian of his class.
Just a few years after graduating, Shanley
had written several plays. In 1982, Welcome to the
Moon was produced; the piece, focusing of themes
of love, featured several of his one-act plays put
together. The production was not received well by
DRAMATURGY (cont...)
critics. Danny and the Deep Blue Sea was produced
in Connecticut in 1983. The show went on to see
productions in London and later at The Louisville
Festival. The play again focused on themes of
love and the cast included John Turturro, now a
Hollywood and indie film darling, in the lead role.
Savage in Limbo was first produced as a staged
reading by the Eugene O’Neill Memorial Theatre
Center in 1984; the play premiered in New York
as a “concert play” in 1985.
With his growing success, Shanley was awarded
a grant from the National Endowment for the
Arts; this allowed him to focus solely on writing.
He began to shift his focus from writing for the
stage to writing for the screen. The familiar voices
of his Italian neighborhood began to find their
way into a screenplay he called The Bride and the
Beast. The script was later re-titled Moonstruck.
The film, a critical and commercial success
and now a romantic comedy classic, featured Cher
and Nicolas Cage. Shanley went on to win the 1987
Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Despite his success with Moonstruck, his next
two movies—The January Man and Joe Versus the
Volcano—were panned by critics and audiences.
Throughout the 1990s, Shanley continued
to write screenplays but he also returned to the
stage. Kissing Christine and Missing Marisa both
debuted at the Louisville Festival and eventually
found their way to New York’s LAByrinth Theater
Company, where he is a company member. Dirty
Story, which premiered with LAB, was written in
2003 and was a political allegory about Israel and
Palestine set in a post-9/11 world. Also premiering
with LAB, Sailor’s Song was a romance that focused
on choosing love in the face death and was set to
Johann Stauss’s famous waltzes. The piece, which
received a nomination for a Drama Desk Award,
was written after Shanley’s mother, father and
eldest sister all died within an 18-month period.
It wasn’t until 2004 that Shanley found
critical success again in his smash hit Doubt, a
parable. The play centered on a Catholic School
in the 1960s. Sister Aloysius, the school principal,
suspects Father Flynn of molesting the school’s
first African American student. The topical themes
of the play were close to Shanley’s heart. “A child
in my family was molested by a priest,” he said in a
2004 interview. The show began its off-Broadway
run at the Manhattan Theatre Club in the fall of
2004 and moved to Broadway the following March.
The play won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
and the Tony Award for Best Play.
Shanley later adapted his script for Doubt
into a film, which starred Meryl Streep, Philip
Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis.
Shanley also directed the film. His screenplay was
nominated for an Academy Award. The film was
dedicated to Sister Margaret McEntee, Shanley’s
first grade teacher after whom he modeled the
role of Sister James.
In 2012, Shanley wrote the libretto for an
operatic adaptation of Doubt; Douglas J. Cuoma
composed the music. The piece premiered at the
Minnesota Opera.
Storefront Church also made its Off-Broadway
debut in 2012 at the Atlantic Theater Company.
The play takes place in another familiar location
for Shanley—the Bronx. The story centers on a
Scrooge-like character during the holidays and the
idea of redemption and rebirth. The show was well
received in New York and later in San Francisco
at the San Francisco Playhouse.
His next play, Outside Mullingar, was
originally produced by the Manhattan Theatre
Club and made its Broadway debut in January,
2014. The original cast included Debra Messing
and Brian F. O’Byrne. He wrote the play as he
neared his 60th birthday; he said that he decided
he wanted to write about family and love. The play
was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play.
Shanley has said that he is uninterested in
returning to Hollywood. Regarding fame and fortune,
he told New York Times Magazine that “money is
like heroin, and I grew up in a neighborhood that
was destroyed by heroin. I’ve watched addiction
all my life. Celebrity is like heroin. And constant
praise is like heroin. And, you know, no one can
resist constant praise. I had to get out.”

JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY is from the
Bronx. He was thrown out of St.
Helena’s kindergarten. He was
banned from St. Anthony’s hot
lunch program for life. He was
expelled from Cardinal Spellman
High School. He was placed on
academic probation by New
York University and instructed
to appear before a tribunal if he wished to return. When
asked why he had been treated in this way by all these
institutions, he burst into tears and said he had no idea.
Then he went into the United States Marine Corps. He
did fine. He’s still doing okay.
