FROM OUR ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
The Hamilton Group
sends best wishes for a
successful season at Gloucester Stage
I can’t think of a more appropriate way to begin our
35th anniversary season than by revisiting the haunting
tunes and lyrics of Jacques Brel which strike us in a
different and deeper way with each engagement.
For the past decade I have been talking to GSC
patrons—some attending their first production and
some who have been attending the theater since its
inception— about what draws them to the theater.
Some like comedies because “it is the summer after
all.” Some like new works since it was the original GSC
Eric C. Engel
mission. Some like musicals while some like plays. The
common ingredients to our most admired productions?
Good stories told by good actors in an intimate setting. Those are the things I
love most about theater, and about our theater in particular. In Gloucester, you
are not just witnessing the action, you are a part of it!
Our deepest gratitude goes out to everyone who is or has played a role in keeping
us in forward motion—audiences, artists, board and staff members, donors, and
members of the press.
Here’s looking forward to another 35 years!
FROM OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR
I believe that going to the theatre is indeed a special
occasion. The uniqueness of the medium is that the
audience and actors share a moment in time that cannot
be recaptured, a shared experience to be treasured
for years to come. What makes each performance
different and unique, though, is that it’s shaped by a new
audience, every time.

Anna Crouse Murch treated Broadway, local stages equally
By Gail McCarthy
The Gloucester Daily Times / January 8, 2014
GLOUCESTER’S ANNA CROUSE MURCH WAS AS COMFORTABLE SELLING TICKETS
at the annual Annisquam Sea Fair here as she was shaking up the Broadway establishment to create discount tickets to make live theater accessible to a broader audience.
Her life was divided between the bustling metropolis of Manhattan and the
picturesque natural beauty of a seaside village that dates to Colonial times.
She and her husband Russel Crouse (1893-1966)—a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright—
traveled in diverse circles. While in New York City, they were privy to the Who’s Who of
actors and directors of Broadway theater; and
in the summer, they played in the social circles of the Annisquam, where— among their
many activities—Russel would watch his two
children through binoculars as they sailed on
their boats “Anything Goes” and the “TimLin”
and Anna organized activities for the children
at the yacht club.
Both the New York and Gloucester worlds
will miss Anna’s presence. She died December 29, just a month shy of turning 98 years
old, after a life of holding down numerous
roles in the theater and music worlds.
Born Anna Erskine, she was the daughter
of a Columbia English professor and writer,
John Erskine, who also helped to establish
the Julliard School of Music. Her father
served at its first president. One of his students at Columbia was Oscar Hammerstein.
She is survived by her two children with
Crouse. Her daughter Lindsay Crouse, who
resides part time here, is a stage, television
and film actress who earned an Academy
Award nomination for her supporting role
alongside Sally Field in “Places in the Heart”
and has performed regularly at Gloucester
Stage Company. Anna’s son, Timothy, is an Anna Crouse with Mayor John V. Lindsay on the
day the TKTS booth opened in 1973.
author whose works include “The Boys on
Photo courtesy of the Theatre Development Fund
the Bus,” about the media coverage of the
1972 presidential campaign. He also co-wrote a revival of “Anything Goes” with John
Weidman, which won them a Tony Award for best revival in 1987.
Both children remain familiar faces in Annisquam where they ran around in their
youth and where they made lifelong friends.
Anna, who was raised in Manhattan, would grow up to be involved in a number of
cultural efforts. Her obituary in The New York Times noted her efforts in the creation of
the discount TKTS booth in Times Square and her part in the “resuscitation of Lincoln
Center Theater.”
“…She had long believed that the theater industry itself should get behind a reducedprice outlet to make unused tickets available at the last minute to people who could not
afford the ever-escalating admission price of Broadway shows,” the obituary noted.

Local Sea Fair
But Anna’s cultural efforts grew to include her beloved summer home in the granite-strewn village in Gloucester. She was part of the committee to buy a new organ for
the Annisquam Village Church, and she worked tirelessly to organize the toy table at
the annual summer Sea Fair, which included a yearly pilgrimage to a Boston toy broker, where she would pore over the best choices.
Anna worked in the world of Broadway theater even before she married Crouse. She
was a budding actress who later worked with Broadway writers and producers. Anna
was also a writer, and she wrote articles for major magazines and co-wrote two children’s books with her husband.
Russel Crouse, along with his writing partner Howard Lindsay, co-wrote the book
for “Sound of Music” in the late 1950s. The writing team earlier won the Pulitzer Prize
for Drama in 1946 for “State of the Union.”
The pair first teamed up when the two revised P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton’s book
for the Cole Porter musical that would eventually be titled “Anything Goes,” starring Ethel
Merman. They produced 15 shows together in 30 years, Anna said in a 2008 interview
with the Gloucester Times. She ran their office for four years, before she had children.
She and Crouse first came to Cape Ann in the 1930s at the invitation of their friends,
actress Jean Dixon and Ted Ely. The Crouses fell in love with the area’s beauty and
tranquility and later bought a home. In the 2008 interview, Anna said a great deal of
“The Sound of Music” was written in Annisquam.
Role model
Lindsay Crouse, in a telephone interview from New
York City Tuesday, remembered her mother as an
amazing role model, before and after the death of her
father. (Anna would remarry in 1978.)
“When she was in the middle of her life, I watched
her recreate herself and really ally herself with the next
generation,” she said of her mother’s work on cultural
efforts in Manhattan.
“The extraordinary thing about her is that she was very
involved at all levels of theater,” Lindsay said. “I’d go up
Lindsay Crouse
to some theater in Harlem or way downtown to some
little place and I’d look at the program and see my mother as a benefactor.
“The quality I adored is that it didn’t matter if she was running the toy table at the
Annisquam Sea Fair, or whether it was an opening on Broadway,” Lindsay added.
“She was just as involved in (the fair) as with any opening night of my father.”
“She taught me, perhaps, the most profound lesson as a woman operating in the
world,” Lindsay said. “It didn’t matter what stage you were on—it didn’t matter whether
it was Gloucester Stage or Broadway. It’s one of the things that has allowed me to be
happy in my life, because life in the arts is up and down all the time, and if you define
yourself by where your greatest success lays, you will be in trouble as you get older.”
Letters of support
Lindsay said she has opened many letters this week from members of boards her
mother had served on, and so often the writers commented on her mother’s ability to

Anna Crouse Murch… (continued)
keep a discussion focused with just a few words.
“She was someone who simply got involved,” said Lindsay. “I remember there
was a social program for the kids at the Annisquam Yacht Club with shuffle board
nights and the writing of plays. She was always encouraging us to be imaginative.
She organized typing lessons for all of us, and those of us who took them are so
grateful to her. I’m one of the fastest typists I know.”
Kathleen Adams, the music director at Annisquam Village Church, recalled when
Anna was the key fundraising person for a new organ at the historic church in the
mid-1980s.
“She spearheaded the campaign and remained a staunch supporter. She is a
person who knows how to go to the heart of something and not get distracted
with little side discussions,” Adams said. “We started a concert series, and she was
always there to support that. She really believed in it.
Annisquam tickets
“One of the interesting things for me is that even though she had her life back in
New York with an elite Broadway crowd, she treated everything in Annisquam with
the same weight,” Adams recalled. “She was just as interested and just as present.”
When Adams read of Anna’s work to establish a discount Broadway ticket booth,
she quickly recalled another vision of her.
“At the Annisquam Sea Fair, she inhabited a ticket booth, which is an indication
of what a democratic person she was and how she valued community over status,”
said Adams.
Michael Wheeler, a friend of the family and Annisquam resident, is also among
the many who mourn the loss of the Cape Ann cultural matriarch.
“She is a very important person in the community and well beyond that,” he said.
“They had their New York life with all the celebrities, but in Annisquam they were
another pair of parents who had sunburned kids at the beach. They also had actors
and directors come up to visit. This Gloucester house was an important part of her
life.” Wheeler said Anna was extremely warm and much loved.
“At the same time, she was very honest and forthright,” he said. “She was the furthest thing from a superficial person.
“She was clear about her ideas, both politically and in the arts—and in a good
way. She was not afraid of disagreeing with other people,” Wheeler said. “She was
generous both in spirit and materially with people. It’s a real loss for her kids, and
she also was an enormous figure in our lives. And there are scores of people in
Gloucester who can say the same thing. “

WHO’S WHO AT GSC
ERIC C. ENGEL (Artistic Director; Director: Jacques Brel…, 4000 Miles, Fences)
is in his eighth season as GSC’s artistic director following two years serving as
producing and associate artistic director and three years as a guest director. Jacques
Brel… marks the 25th production he has directed at Gloucester Stage. Recent GSC
directing credits include Spring Awakening (recipient of Independent Reviewers of
New England Awards for Best Director and Best Production of a Musical), Dueling
Divas, The Norman Conquests trilogy of plays, and Nine Circles (originally directed
for the Publick Theatre Boston). He has been a director and arts administrator in the
Boston area for more than twenty-five years and is currently director of Memorial
Hall/Sanders Theatre and College Theater Venues in the Office for the Arts at
Harvard. He has directed for numerous companies including the Nora Theater
Company (of which he was a founding member), the Lyric Stage Company of Boston,
SpeakEasy Stage Company, Boston Playwrights’ Theater, The Súgán Theatre
Company, and as an artist in residence at Harvard University, Emerson College, the
Boston Conservatory and Brandeis University where he earned his MFA. He has
staged four Elliot Norton award-winning productions: Death of a Salesman (The
Nora), Sing Me to Sleep (Coyote Theatre), Collected Stories (GSC), and Entertaining Mr.
Sloane (Publick Theatre).
COSTIN MANU (Managing Director) was executive director of the Sandusky State
Theatre in Ohio and the theatre manager, the manager of programming, marketing
and development, and the city’s manager of arts, culture and theatres, at the awardwinning Rose Theatre in Brampton in Ontario, Canada. He was an associate producer
for the hit comedy Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks on Broadway. Over the last 35
years, he has produced more than 50 professional plays and musicals and directed
almost just as many. He has also worked extensively as a theater director, as well
as an actor in film, television and theater in Europe, Canada and the United States.
With a background in directing, programming, marketing, publicity, fundraising and
sponsorship, he has also produced or booked numerous touring Broadway shows,
concerts, theatrical events, fundraisers and arts presentations with many top names
in the entertainment business. Costin was the founding managing and artistic
director of Victoria Playhouse Petrolia, another award-winning regional professional
theatre, and the general manager at the Waterloo Entertainment Centre and Theatre
Athena. In 2005 Costin was contracted to consult on the future development of
Theatre Cambridge in Ontario. He was appointed its producing artistic director and
immediately launched a drive to build a brand new venue. That project became a
reality with the opening of the state-of-the-art, 500-seat Dunfield Theatre in 2011.

Director’s Note
Reaching Across Generations
When I first read 4000 Miles, I was reminded of the old joke: “Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? Because they have a common
enemy.” I was also reminded of a high school teacher who taught us that while
history tends to be categorized by wars, decades and the tenures of monarchs
and presidents, the journey of humanity is marked by each and every birth,
each and every death, and each and every relationship. It is an honor to interpret this remarkably profound and subtle work at Gloucester Stage.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is a unique
one, with a dynamic all its own and quite different from the parent-child
relationship. While still a familial tie with overtones of authority figure,
grandparents can be less judgmental and therefore more accessible for most
children, including adult children. In today’s world most grandparents are not
the Norman Rockwell folks, living in cozy warm homes with oodles of yummy
food and approving smiles, doting over toddlers. With people living longer
healthier lives, more grandparents are living engaged, contemporary lives, and
more grandchildren are all grown up. Generations co-exist for unprecedentedly
long periods of time, and being able to have an adult relationship with a
grandchild is historically new; forging this bond is something few grandparents
thought they would ever have. With increased mobility in today’s America,
families are often separated by long distances, but even then the special
relationship between these two generations can remain, or become, strong
and meaningful. In Amy Herzog’s 4000 Miles we see that the learning, support
and caring travels both ways, and there is much to be gained, learned and
cherished from this cross-generational connection.
An important hallmark of the relationship between grandparents and adult
grandchildren is that they can have a relationship independent of that between
grandparent and parent. “The dynamic between grandparents and their adult
grandchildren is starting to garner interest from sociologists,” writes Newsday
columnist Peter King. “A new study looks exclusively at the relationship
between grandparents and adult grandchildren and concluded the connection
can have enormous psychological benefits for both generations.” King quotes
Sara Moorman, professor at Boston College’s Department of Sociology and
Institute on Aging: “We speculate that it’s because they’re bonding with each
other and giving social support.” The results of Moorman’s 20-year study
was presented at the American Sociological Association’s annual meeting in
August 2013.
“Extended family members, such as grandparents and grandchildren, serve
important functions in one another’s daily lives throughout adulthood,” says
Moorman. Those functions include providing affection and love, mediating
between child and parent, link to the child’s past, providing spiritual guidance,
instruction in issues associated with aging, serving as substitute parent, and
giving practical support.
There can be many positive mental health effects of having an emotionally
close relationship with a grandchild/grandparent, but it is important that
there be reciprocity in the relationship. We all benefit from feeling needed
and worthwhile, and the study found that grandparents who both gave and
received “tangible” support had the most positive emotional effects and
25
exhibited fewer signs of depression. The grandparents did things like give advice
or bought an occasional gift or paid for lunch. The effects were negative when a
grandparent received without giving, exhibiting increased signs of depression.
Grandparents live with an expectation of giving and helping a grandchild, “even
though the grandchild is an adult,” Moorman says. “Having that reversed is
threatening.” It is important for grandchildren to help their grandparents remain
independent and that the relationship be a two-way, mutually supportive one.
This helps minimize the effects of aging on the emotional and mental wellbeing of the grandparent. The big take-away: grandchildren should gladly accept
help and support from grandparents, as well as give them support. Let them
write you a check if they want to, even if you don’t need the money, or ask them
for advice about something in your life. For families that are geographically far
apart, even talking with a grandparent on the phone or connecting via social
networking can be beneficial.
Strong relationships enrich our lives. How has a grandparent/grandchild
relationship enriched yours? What have you learned—and what have you
taught? What memories do you cherish, and what memories would you like
to create? Whether it’s an actual grandparent or grandchild, or any “senior” or
younger adult in your life, reach out across the generations and see what’s there
for each of you.

Often haunting, always vividly dramatic, sometimes funny, heartrending and poetic, the songs of Jacques Brel have been recorded by
countless artists throughout the world. Encompassing themes of joy
and sorrow, love and loss, life and death, this compilation of Brel’s finest
work celebrates the diverse complexity of the human heart.

Boston tale of a New Year’s Eve “business” encounter between a neighborhood low life from South Boston and a retired school teacher will be
around for a long time—but see it here, now! Some strong language.

reach each other.

We’ve heard time and time again that while patrons enjoy participating in
the Gloucester Stage Raffle, they wish we would find a way to avoid the
raffle speech before every performance. We’ve heard you, but we still need
to raise that money in order to bring you professional theater. If you can
purchase a raffle ticket, please consider doing so early in the season so we
can, as they say on public radio, return to our regular programming.
Remember, we only sell 300 raffle chances. Once those tickets are
purchased, we can eliminate the pre-show ritual altogether!
