From the Artistic Directors

,,...l elcome to our Twelfth Season!

In 1996 the Fall Fringe Festival was envisioned as an invitation to

experience rarely performed significant one act operas in an

"up-close-and-personal" experiential environment. Offering challenging

performance experiences to our Opera Institute singers, we "made do" in make-shift or borrowed theatre spaces. Opera students, faculty

members, and even spouses and other volunteers built sets, shopped for or donated props and costumes, painted floors, hung lights, served as crew, and passed out flyers to build an audience.

Since 2003 we have happily enjoyed a full-fledged collaboration between the School of Music's Opera Institute and the School of Theatre. Along with the one act operas, we now present a full length play each season, and this year present our second Recital Meets Theatre program.

Assisted and advised by renowned faculty from the schools of Music and Theatre and professional guest stage directors, the Festival now

engages and serves not only singers, but a formidable team of actors, theatre designers, stage managers, technicians, and many others in supportive positions.

The rustic sawhorse and poster that once announced the festival events in our makeshift "homes" around campus have been replaced by a fetching marquee above the entrance to the BU Theatre's Lane-Comley

dio 210. Our faithful audience can now purchase real tickets at the x office.

But our mission for outreach and pedagogy remain intact: to bring unusual, rarely performed works (or unusual settings of those works) to our students and audience in ways that expand our visions of our

individual art forms, stretch·our students to peak performance in many

styles, and invite new audiences to share in this fresh and exciting process.

Welcome!

A Note from the Director

Ellie Heyman Sarah Chapman Kevin Schlagle Keren Eyal James Fluhr Kajuan Douglas Chris Junno Annie Woods Liz Mclinn Mary Budzn Jeff Hathcoat Joel Turnham Jesse Sheldon Stephen Dee PJ Berman Tzara El Makdessi Maggie Erwin Sarah Rish

e great playwright and director Richard Nelson once said: "Empowerment, that

I suppose is what this is about- allowing the playwright to feel that he or she owns

the play, in all meanings of that word." The words you hear tonight compose the

voice of a young, new American playwright, Michelle Poynton. It is a voice like

Joan and Maria's, the female voices of Pope Joan, who believe in the power of

the written word to change the lives of those who come in contact with it. As

theatre artists and playmakers, the play is what we all rally around, what we all

commit countless hours to, discovering how to lift the words from the page and

create a palpable world for our audience to enter. The world of Pope Joan finds

ownership in every member of the creative team, from actor to designer to

production team. Yet our reason for creation, our inspiration, starts with Ms.

Poynton's play. For this great new work, I am truly grateful.

On behalf of Boston University, the entire acting company, design team and

production staff, we welcome you to Pope Joan.

A Note from the Director

Brian August Samantha Pagnotta Kristin Kochanik Marion Le Coguic Andrew Mayer Ameera Ali Kake Boucher Eryn O'Sullivan Sarah Purdum Dale Placek Brian Shaw Stephen Dee

To me, Leonard Bernstein is extraordinary because he was able to capture an era and create an era at the same time; and even so, remain timeless.

It's been a long time since I have had the opportunity to visit Trouble in Tahiti. The first time was with Bernstein himself, as we premiered Tin T with its sequel, A Quiet Place. Later, T in T was incorporated into the sequel as three flashbacks. It is my personal opinion that, in so doing, its power was lost. What I have been most struck by, working on Tin Ton its own, is its extraordinary sadness and despair.

We live our lives without knowing what the future brings. And we are imbued with two things - hope and dreams. The two are very different, even though they support each other. And sometimes it is dreams, without the hope, that are all we have left to hold on to and support us.

So why do we love this piece? Why do we come back to it? Bernstein's extraordinary music - his deceptively simple, accessible tunes, for one. But the real reason is his piercing insight into the human condition. We all seek our quiet place. That search is timeless.

Synopsis: The first bars we hear are about the Morning Sun, the Friendly Sun,

kindling our love; the blooming of our dreams. Everything is perfect: weather, house, lawn, family, washing machines - the American Dream. The Disney dream of living happily ever after. Let's take a closer look at that dream ten years later.

About Saki

ector Hugh Munro (Born December 18, 1870 in Akyab, Myanmar). Educated

in England, he is better known by the pen name Saki, a British writer, whose

witty and sometimes macabre stories satirized Edwardian society and culture.

He is considered a master of the short story and is often compared to 0. Henry

and Dorothy Parker. His tales feature delicately drawn characters and finely

judged narratives. "The Open Window" may be his most famous, with a closing line, "Romance at short notice was her speciality," that has entered the lexicon.

He was killed November 13, 1916, on the Western Front during World War I,

having volunteered for active service despite being over 40.

Walt Meissner, Dean ad interim

Boston University is one of the leading private research and teaching

institutions in the world today, with two primary campuses in the heart of Boston

and programs around the world.

The BU College of Fine Arts was created in 1954 to bring together the School of Music, the School of Theatre, and the School of Visual Arts. The University's

vision was to create a community of artists in a conservatory-style school,

offering professional training in the arts to both undergraduate and graduate

students, complemented by a liberal arts curriculum for undergraduate

students. Since those early days, education at the College of Fine Arts has

begun on the BU campus and extended into the city of Boston, a rich center of
