A Note From The Executive & Artistic Director
Welcome to he Warehouse heatre. It is because of you that we are able to enjoy a
vibrant Warehouse heatre dedicated to providing you with Intense, Intimate and
Unexpected theatre. You make possible the type of theatre that you have come to
expect from us; the kind of theatre you can only ind in an intimate space like he Jean
Pelham Stage at he Warehouse heatre.
We think theatre is best experienced up close and personal. here really is no bad seat
here at he Warehouse heatre and you will be almost as much a part of the action
as the characters themselves. Well, that’s not quite true -- you’re actually as much
a part of the action as the characters. he immediacy and ephemerality of theatre
and the magic of sharing a live, leeting experience with your friends and loved ones,
actors and strangers, make YOU the most important part of the theatrical process.
It all comes alive when you walk into the theatre. For the entire night, your presence
changes the show. See the same show twice in the same run -- even the next night -and I guarantee you will see a show with diferent nuance and subtleties that happen
because of you. It’s one of those magical things that happens between an audience and
those working on a performance. We all share in the event, and that event has real
magic.
I was, and think I still am, a student of theatre history. I studied under one of the
greatest theatre historians this country has ever produced. Dr. Brockett passed away
two years ago; he was one of the most important inluences on my career. Because
of him, I developed an intellectual and visceral love of theatre history and, perhaps
because of my Greek heritage, a fondness for the very beginnings of theatre, some
2500 years ago in ancient Greece. In just about every way, the ancients created
modern theatre. In my eyes, every not-for-proit theatre is a community theatre,
regardless of how many millions of dollars may or may not be in its budget. his didn’t
begin in the 1960s. It began in, more like, the 460s – BC.
he Greeks created an art form that had three purposes: honoring the gods, civic
pride and edifying human beings. I take this seriously. Sometimes during a play we
collectively experience a glimpse of the divine in the form of a sublime moment. We
work to open the door for those sublime moments and our souls need that experience.
We are dedicated members of our community and our city, and the iner our work,
the iner our city and our region’s quality of life. Our partnerships with like-minded
individuals, businesses and not-for-proits happen because we are proud of our
shared community and wish to make it an even better place to live, hoping to share
it with everyone who will listen. Oh, by the way -- that’s also one of the reasons big
corporations move to the area. And, inally, “what a piece of work is a man.” Of course
Shakespeare was speaking of mankind, and it is our hope that when you see a show at
he Warehouse heatre, you will not only enjoy yourself and lose yourself a little, but
also ind yourself a little. We do intend, as it were, to hold “the mirror up to nature;
to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of
the time his form and pressure.” You are continuing a proud Western tradition that
has continued proudly since its beginnings in the 5th century BC. (Well, there were a
couple of dark years in there, but that’s a diferent note.)
hank you for coming to the theatre, thank you for supporting the theatre and we
hope you will take an opportunity to learn more about us and plan on joining us next
season, for our 40th year of great theatre!

Playwright Biography
Stephen Joshua Sondheim was born March 22, 1930 in New York City to Etta Janet
(nee Fox) and Herbert Sondheim. He grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and
later on a farm in Pennsylvania, after his parents divorced. While living in New York,
Stephen Sondheim attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. Herbert, his father,
was a dress manufacturer and Foxy, his mother, designed the dresses. An only child of
well-to-do parents living in a high-rise apartment on Central Park West, Sondheim’s
childhood has been portrayed as isolated and emotionally neglected in Meryle Secrest’s
biography, Stephen Sondheim: A Life. At about the age of ten, around the time of his
parents’ divorce, Sondheim became friends with Jimmy Hammerstein, son of the
well-known lyricist and playwright Oscar Hammerstein II. he elder Hammerstein
became a surrogate father to Sondheim, as the young Sondheim attempted to stay
away from home as much as possible. He graduated New York Military Academy in
1946.He graduated from Williams College, winning the Hutchinson Prize for Music
Composition, after which he studied theory and composition with Milton Babbitt.
He is on the Council of the Dramatists Guild, the national association of playwrights,
composers, and lyricists, having served as its president from 1973 to 1981, and in 1983
was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1990 he was appointed the
irst Visiting Professor of Contemporary heatre at Oxford University and in 1993 was a
recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors.
Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics for Bounce (2003), Passion (1994), Assassins
(1991), Into the Woods (1987), Sunday in the Park with George (1984), Merrily We Roll
Along (1981), Sweeney Todd (1979), Paciic Overtures (1976), he Frogs (1974), A Little
Night Music (1973), Follies (1971, revised in London, 1987), Company (1970), Anyone
Can Whistle (1964), and A Funny hing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1962), as
well as lyrics for West Side Story (1957), Gypsy (1959), Do I Hear A Waltz? (1965), and
additional lyrics for Candide (1973). Side by Side by Sondheim (1976), Marry Me A
Little (1981), You’re Gonna Love Tomorrow
(1983), and Putting It Together (1992) are
anthologies of this work as a composer and
lyricist.
For ilms, he composed the scores of Stavisky
(1974) and Reds (1981) and songs for Dick
Tracy (1990), for which he won an Academy
Award. He also wrote songs for the television
production “Evening Primrose” (1966), coauthored the ilm he Last of Sheila (1973)
and the play Getting Away With Murder
(1996), and provided incidental music for the
plays he Girls of Summer (1956), Invitation
to a March (1961), and Twigs (1971).
He won Tony Awards for Best Score for a
Musical for Passion, Into the Woods, Sweeney
Todd, A Little Night Music, Follies, and
Company. All of these shows won the New
York Drama Critics Circle Award, as did
Paciic Overtures and Sunday in the Park
with George, the latter also receiving the
Pulitzer Prize for Drama (1985). In addition,
the Stephen Sondheim heatre at 124 West
43rd Street in New York City was established
in 2010 in honor of the legendary composer
and lyricist’s 80th birthday.
“What Fools These Mortals Be”
While working on their hit musical, West Side Story, Stephen Sondheim
and producer, Hal Prince, expressed a desire to write a chamber opera with
a romantic farcical twist. hey decided to base this new musical on the
1956 Ingmar Bergman ilm, Smiles of a Summer Night. he collaborators--Sondheim, Prince, and Hugh Wheeler---agreed that theirs should be an
original piece with touches of Strindberg, Chekhov and Shakespeare. From
the beginning, Sondheim’s vision was dark; whereas, according to Craig
Zadan, Prince “wanted the darkness to peep through a whipped-cream
surface.” Wheeler, the book-writer, visualized a Shakespearean slant stemming
from a line from A Midsummer Night’s Dream in which the character Puck
states, “Lord, what fools these mortals be.” In the end, the trio reached a
collaborative harmony, and A Little Night Music was written with Ingmar
Bergman’s motion picture as its jumping-of point.
Never losing sight of the complex game Bergman conceived of for his ilm,
Sondheim notes in a 1982 interview, “It was to take place over a weekend
during which, in almost game-like fashion, Desirée would have been the prime
mover and would work the characters into diferent situations.” Bergman
enjoyed orchestrating his comedic Sudoku of sorts telling an interviewer, “I
felt it would be a technical challenge to make a comedy with a mathematical
pattern---man / woman, man / woman. Four couples. And then muddle them
all up, and sort out the equations.” As is the case in both Smiles of a Summer
Night and A Little Night Music, the male characters appear to play the role of
dreamers and bufoons who try but fail to exceed their own limitations. he
female characters, on the other hand, remain steadfast and a levelheaded
despite the circus-like atmosphere surrounding them. Indeed, the summer
night (incidentally, the summer solstice or white night) is the time in mid
June of extended daylight that can lead to some sleep-deprived craziness,
thus creating comic results that become the perfect setting for this libretto‘s
frivolity.
Finally, the smiles noted in the ilm’s title seem to take on new meaning in
Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning opus. In the production’s prologue, Madame
Armfeldt explains to her granddaughter that the summer night smiles three
times “at the follies of human beings, of course. he irst smile smiles at the
young, who know nothing. he second, at the fools who know too little .
. . and the third at the old who know too much.” Mirroring Puck’s famous
aforementioned line, Desirée sings one of Sondheim’s “inner monologue
songs” about the absurdity of human beings---“But where are the clowns? /
Quick, send in the clowns. / Don’t bother, they’re here.” “As I think of it now,
the song could have been called “Send in the Fools,” Sondheim says. I knew I
was writing a song in which Desirée is saying, ‘Aren’t we foolish’ or ‘Aren’t we
fools?’ Well, a synonym for fools is clowns. Send in the fools didn’t have the
same ring to it.”

DALI HAD BEEN
FORCED INTO A
DIFFERENT LIFE?
WHAT IF
Dali’s father was a lawyer and a strict disciplinarian. If it
had not been for the encouragement and guidance of Felipa
Ferres, Dali may have never developed into a legendary
artist. What if the next Dali is in South Carolina looking for a
chance to follow their art? You could be the difference maker.

Education at The Warehouse Theatre
A signiicant part of he Warehouse heatre’s vision and mission is education – in the
schools and in the community. Our educational oferings are designed to encourage
engagement, creativity and theatre that not only entertains, but elevates and celebrates
the community it serves. Here are some highlights:
his Wooden O, WHT’s nationally recognized actors-in-the-classroom program,
sends teams of teaching artists into middle, high and elementary school classrooms
to enhance students’ comprehension and appreciation of Shakespeare’s works. In
2011-12, WHT teaching artists worked with 24 area schools, in English, Drama and
Challenge Program classrooms, providing over 650 hours of instruction.
Applied heatre: Healthy Living debuted in 2011-12. Our new applied theatre
outreach programming gives youth a platform to explore not only choices and
dilemmas afecting their physical health, but encompasses their social well-being and
goal-setting as well. Emphasizing exploration and expression, we work in concert
with organizations who serve youth to identify issues and help them envision positive
possibilities. In inaugural year, we worked with over 175 youths, from organizations
such as Bridges to a Brighter Future, Sterling Teen Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters,
Greenville Hospital Systems and Communities in Schools, empowering youth through
theatre.
WHT’s Audience Enrichment Series includes pre-show talks with directors or
scholars in the genre or historical context of the play, talkbacks with actors, directors
and designers about the speciic production, lobby displays and forums. Last season, 3
of the forums had standing room only crowds; sparking discussions on topics ranging
from sustainable economic development, the role of story in our culture, distraction
and its implications in the digital age, and the functions and dysfunctions of family.
Forums are scheduled for the Wednesday before the opening of each mainstage
– and they are free and open to the public! Pre-show talk and talkback schedules
are on our website.
Performances for Students

Effective marketing…
It ain’t rocket surgery
The fact is…marketing your company is probably simpler than you think. It doesn’t
take a rocket scientist (or a brain surgeon) to understand the simple strategicallydriven process that we take our clients through. We help companies find effective
and affordable options to generate the maximum return. And then we create unique
advertising messages that engage and reward.
We firmly believe that our clients’ advertising should do more than distribute
information. It should penetrate minds, create bonds, fan desires. If you agree,
please get in touch.
