ARTISTIC MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
A TIME OF GIVING
In Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, the character of Vanya talks
about caring for people and how important it is to look out for others,
much like he and his sister have done by caring for their aging parents
during their last years in the family home. Each year, for one week during
the month of February, an actor speaks from the stage after the
performance asking for ‘spare change’ towards the fund-raising efforts of
Theatre Cares, a group of volunteers from the theatre community that
started in 1991 to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS relief. The donations from the Arts
Club come from the audience members who attended One Man, Two Guvnors at the Stanley
Industrial Alliance Stage and The Mountaintop at the Granville Island Stage. Your generosity
with ‘spare change’ amounted to $18,185.05 during that one week at both theatres—a
remarkable achievement and according to Theatre Cares, a record. Five charities are the
recipients of these funds: The Actors’ Fund of Canada, AIDS Vancouver, Positive Living BC,
The Stephen Lewis Foundation, and The Performing Arts Lodge (PAL). The Actor’s Fund
provides emergency financial help to those in the entertainment industry, the next three
concentrate on dealing with HIV/AIDS relief in British Columbia, and, in the case of the
Stephen Lewis Foundation, in Africa.
PAL (the Performing Arts Lodge) is a subsidized rental facility that allows those in the
performing arts industry to have affordable housing in a unique setting in the Coal Harbour
area. The project, which has been recognized with several awards, came into fruition through
the herculean efforts of many, but in particular of Joy Coghill and Jane Heyman. Vanya, Sonia,
and Masha’s aging parents (who were theatre types) might well have lived out their years at
Vancouver’s PAL. Masha is an actress of some renown, so they might all have performed at
PAL as the seven-story structure has an
intimate 100-seat performance space on the
top floor, as well as an outdoor living area
with a remarkable roof top garden. Theatre
Cares thanks those who donated towards
these valuable charities that are part of our
fabric.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S CIRCLE
The Arts Club Theatre Company relies on your philanthropic support to ensure the strength and vitality of the company. As a non-profit arts
organization, the Arts Club could not exist without the generosity of our individual donors. Ticket sales cover only a portion of our production
costs, and we rely on community gifts to close the gap. Please consider joining us by becoming a member of the Artistic Director’s Circle today.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
A GIFT FOR THE SOUL
It’s that time of year again at the Arts Club—season tickets! Even with
five shows left at our three stages in this current season, we must start
preparing for the next season, the one that starts in September. The
shows have been selected, the actors are getting cast, and the sets are
being designed. Sometimes staff at the Arts Club can be forgiven for not
noticing when one season ends and a new one starts—and I expect that
will be no different this season, with Les Misérables playing right up until
the end of August and the first show of the new season starting just three weeks later. But I
know you subscribers in the audience have noticed, as we’re in the midst of the renewal
process right now, as well as offering our season ticket packages to our casual ticket buyers.
And indulge me with a quick plug here: if you don’t have a season ticket package, please
check out the information available in the lobby as the savings per ticket when you reserve
for a series of shows at the Arts Club are really substantial!
One thing I’ve learned from talking to our subscribers at the theatre is that it’s not just the
value of getting a season ticket package that appeals, it’s the social aspect. So many
subscribers attend with loved ones and friends, and having those theatre dates scheduled
into your calendars ensures this social connection happens. It often involves a bite to eat
before or after the show, and a stroll along the enticing windows of South Granville or around
the artisan stores and public market on Granville Island, which really is a perfect outing. The
simple act of getting a season ticket package means ensuring you’ve planned these escapes
in your schedule—escapes that would otherwise fall by the wayside in our hectic lives. Of
course, plans can change and dates need swapping, but changes are endlessly free to do at
the Arts Club, as an exclusive benefit of being a patron who chooses to reserve seats to more
of our productions.
Another top reason for subscribing? To be
continually emotionally moved or inspired
by the works on our stages—and not just by
the shows you might have heard of.
Sometimes the greatest emotional impact
can come from that unknown title you
weren’t sure about that turns out to be a
gem. And that’s what we’re all in it for: that
wellspring of feeling. Scheduling theatre
regularly in your life does give emotional
fulfillment. It does stimulate the
imagination. And it does make sure you go
out with friends and loved ones! So if you’ve
already renewed, thank you. If you’re about
to, good on you. And if you don’t have a
subscription, why not get one? It’s great
value not only for your wallet, but also for
your soul. And that’s something we all
deserve.

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT
Christopher Durang is a playwright whose plays include A History of
the American Film (Tony nomination, Best Book of a Musical, 1978),
The Actor’s Nightmare, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie
Award; off-Broadway run 1981-83), Beyond Therapy (on Broadway in
1982, with Dianne Wiest and John Lithgow), Baby with the Bathwater
(Playwrights Horizons, 1983),The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Public
Theatre, 1985; Obie Award, Dramatists Guild Hull Warriner Award),
Laughing Wild (Playwrights Horizons, 1987), Durang/Durang (an
evening of six plays at Manhattan Theatre Club, 1994, including the
Tennessee Williams’ parody, For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls), Sex and Longing (Lincoln
Center Theatre production at the Cort Theatre, 1996, starring Sigourney Weaver), and Betty’s
Summer Vacation (Playwrights Horizons, 1999; Obie Award).
His most recent works are Miss Witherspoon, which premiered off Broadway at Playwrights
Horizons in association with McCarter Theater in 2005, Why Torture Is Wrong and the People
Who Love Them, which premiered at the Public Theater in 2009, and a collection of one-act
parodies meant to be performed in one evening entitled Durang/Durang.
Durang is also a performer, and acted with E. Katherine Kerr in the New York premiere of
Laughing Wild, and with Jean Smart in the Los Angeles production. He shared in an acting
ensemble Obie for The Marriage of Bette and Boo; and with John Augustine and Sherry
Anderson has performed his crackpot cabaret Chris Durang and Dawne at the Criterion Center,
Caroline’s Comedy Club, Williamstown Summer Cabaret, and the Triad, winning a 1996 Bistro
Award.
In the early ‘80s, he and Sigourney Weaver co-wrote and performed in their acclaimed BrechtWeill parody, Das Lusitania Songspiel, and were both nominated for Drama Desk Awards for
Best Performer in a Musical.
In 1993 he sang in the five person off-Broadway Sondheim revue, Putting It Together, with
Julie Andrews at the Manhattan Theatre Club. And he played a singing Congressman in the
Encores presentation of Call Me Madam with Tyne Daly at City Center.
In movies, he has appeared in The Secret of My Success, Mr. North, The Butcher’s Wife,
Housesitter, and The Cowboy Way, among others.
He has a BA from Harvard College, and an MFA in Playwriting from Yale School of Drama.
In 1995 he won the prestigious three-year Lila Wallace Readers Digest Writers Award; as part
of his grant, he ran a writing workshop for adult children of alcoholics. In 2000 he won the
Sidney Kingsley Playwriting Award. Grove Press publishes several of his plays. Smith and
Kraus recently published two new collections: Christopher Durang: 27 Short Plays and
Christopher Durang: Complete Full-Length Plays (1975-1995). Grove has recently published
Betty’s Summer Vacation.
Since 1994 he has been co-chair, with Marsha Norman, of the Playwriting Program at the
Juilliard School in Manhattan. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild Council.

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
In the 1980s I performed in Christopher Durang’s play Beyond Therapy,
and I thought the play was fabulously subversive and hilarious. His
humour came from a sense of the absurd and a frustration with
society’s status quo that made perfect sense to someone in their late
teens/early twenties. My parents, I recall, found it weird and disturbing.
But in the intervening years mainstream culture followed the trail
Durang blazed, and caught up. His irreverence, overt sexuality, and the
comedy of non-sequiturs are now common pop culture parlance.
Durang continued to grow his powers and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is a mature
work: the fringe has become the establishment and is taking a good look around at the
landscape he helped create.
And what of it?
Underneath all the artful silliness in this play Durang asks: what does it mean to feel
connected, truly connected, in the digital age we now inhabit? We have access to more people
and more information than ever before, yet feelings of loneliness and isolation are on the rise.
And what is the personal and societal cost of being disconnected to our own feelings, to
each other, and to nature?
In the play, Vanya laments a cultural innocence that’s been lost in his lifetime. At the same
time, he fully acknowledges the cliche of his nostalgic yearning for the good ol’ days. Though
his despair is comic, it is also honest. Is there a way out of this loop of comfortable complaint
and back into a vital, forward looking, life?
GENTLE REMINDERS
There’s some wonderful Chekovian riffs and
references in this story but you don’t need
to know which Chekov plays the characters
derive their names from because the heart
of the play is decidedly contemporary. So for
the next two hours, turn off your phone,
forget email and texting and facebook, and
just do one thing at a time: just be here, in
this room, with this fabulous cast and... see
what happens.
It is very important to turn off alarms, phones,
and beepers for the duration of the show. If you
are concerned about missing an emergency call,
please leave your name or device and seat
location with an usher and we will alert you if a
call comes through.
Please wait to discuss the show at intermission
or after the show ends. (Even whispers carry!)
Please refrain from eating or unwrapping candy
and gum in the theatre, as it is a distraction for
others.
If you have a complaint about another guest,
please tell the Audience Services Manager rather
than approaching the person yourself. We will be
happy to address concerns on your behalf.

ARTS CLUB THEATRE COMPANY STAFF
The Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage’s rich history began December 15, 1930, with the screening of Lillian Gish’s first talkie, One
Romantic Night. Famous Players bought the Stanley in 1941 and operated the venue until it closed in September 1991 due to declining
revenues. The theatre was purchased by The Stanley Theatre Society in 1997 and opened a year later as an Arts Club Theatre Company
venue. The stunning restoration received a 1999 City of Vancouver Heritage Award.
