ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING
Women have never been strangers to politics. It has been almost a
hundred years since women were granted the vote in 1920, but now
there are more women in Congress than ever before. Along the way,
there have been several notable female politicians and one of the
greats was Texas Governor Ann Richards.
This is the best time in my life to be making theater — people are
politically alive in ways I have never before seen. With the #MeToo
Movement and the last election, women are raising their voices and
making sure they are heard and felt through their activism. Politicians
like Ann Richards paved the way for today’s burst of women in
Congress. She never held back her opinions, she was fierce and
formidable; her strength as a politician was in being courageous by taking on big ideas and
fighting for the rights of the people.
Only unusual people can truly speak their minds in public — Ann Richards was one of these
real people. It’s fascinating to look back and realize that many of the early women in Congress
first got there by association with their husbands — either filling a term or continuing their
husband’s work in the same place. Of course they already had their own unique ideas and
opinions, but they weren’t taken seriously unless it was in association with their husbands
or fathers. Today, women are elected because of who they are, not because of who their
husbands or fathers were.
Arena Stage was founded by a formidable woman, Zelda Fichandler, 70 years ago. She
founded the theater in partnership with her husband Tom Fichandler and theater colleague
Edward Mangum. Is there a pattern here? It was Zelda’s artistic vision that made Arena a
groundbreaking leader in the American theater community. I’m proud to have been here
myself, now 22 years, and prouder still that more women are becoming artistic directors
across the country than ever before. From Maria Manuela Goyanes at Woolly Mammoth
Theatre Company to Hana S. Sharif at Repertory Theatre of St. Louis to Nataki Garrett at
Oregon Shakespeare Festival to Pam MacKinnon at American Conservatory Theater to
Stephanie Ybarra at Baltimore Center Stage, women are moving into leadership positions
at the greatest rate I’ve ever seen. It’s really about a multiplicity of voices — if we don’t have
representatives from more women in positions of power where they can openly share ideas,
challenge the status quo and push for change, we will never be able to be the country that
we strive to be.
Arena has a history of producing plays about great Texas women. Many of you will recall
Kathleen Turner in Red Hot Patriot, bringing us the sharp wit of journalist Molly Ivins. A fun
connection between today’s production, Ann, and recalling Red Hot Patriot is their candid and
forthright way of speaking. No kid gloves here! Is it because they were both from Texas? Is it
because they were both women? Hard to say. Nonetheless, I’m thankful for them and thankful
for their legacy of truth-telling. May we continue to be influenced by these brilliant women!
Molly Smith
Artistic Director
Arena Stage is built on the land of the Piscataway people
of the Algonquin-speaking tribes, as well as the lands of the

FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Ann Richards was known for her feisty wit and ambitious political
activism. How does an outspoken liberal democrat become the
second female governor of the state of Texas? She was a fighter, and
yet there have to be partnerships and a willingness to both battle
and compromise with different thinkers.
We are pleased tonight to partner with Dallas Theater Center (DTC)
on this production. Far from being different thinkers, Arena and DTC
are aligned in our commitment to the artform. For DTC, the story of
Ann is bringing to life a former governor of their state and possibly,
in this divided political time, reminding their audiences of a time
where differences of opinions were not about building walls. For Arena’s Washington, D.C.
audiences, this may be a story of a political activist willing to speak her mind in order to
change the establishment.
Arena looks forward to several positive partnerships this season in addition to Ann.
August Wilson’s Jitney is a partnership with creative artists and the Broadway producers
of the successful 2017 production, reviving the show to share with our audiences as part
of the August Wilson Festival. We also return to a partnership with Oregon Shakespeare
Festival, bringing their production of Mother Road by Octavio Solis, one of Arena’s
commissioned Power Play writers. Arena audiences will remember Equivocation, Sweat
and Roe as recent examples of partnerships with OSF.
A Thousand Splendid Suns also comes to Arena through a connection with American
Conservatory Theater (ACT). The project was developed there and is enjoying a partial re-
mounting of their production, giving this touching story continued life in regional theater. We
continue the partnership with ACT with a co-production of Toni Stone, a world premiere in
New York this summer from the amazing Lydia R. Diamond.
This is a moment in time to consider what connects us as individuals even through
polarizing political events. Other shows this season will explore these kinds of connections,
such as Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise — the story of a courtship through letters during
World War II — and Celia and Fidel — a look at the notorious leader of Cuba and how a close
personal relationship could have impacted political events. These portray different kinds of
partnerships than I’ve discussed above, but they are still relevant to the idea of how people
work together and connect, sometimes across long distances or political divides.
Back in our own neighborhood, in addition to the mainstage shows, Arena hosts Civil
Dialogues, where a panel of people discuss complex topical issues with questions and
comments from audience members. The Civil Dialogues are an attempt to get people
talking from different viewpoints, so that everyone learns and grows. Arena “partners”
directly with our community.
We hope that you will take a look at these shows this season, continue to bridge across aisles
and share your own outspoken wit in order to build a bright future for our communities.
Warmly,
Edgar Dobie
Executive Producer
President of the Corporation

Female Representatives
yy The 19th Amendment, guaranteeing
women the right to vote, was passed

the states, on August 26, 1920. Prior to
this, only 15 states granted women full
voting rights.
