Dear <strong>The</strong>atregoer,<br />

Welcome to <strong>Walnut</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre! This fall we proudly<br />

celebrate our landmark 205th season of live entertainment and<br />

our 31st anniversary season as a not-for-profit producing theatre<br />

company. As America’s Oldest <strong>The</strong>atre, we not only honor our<br />

rich history, we look ahead to the exciting future our 2013–14<br />

season promises. We owe our success to the continued support<br />

of loyal theatregoers like you. You’ve made the <strong>Walnut</strong> the most<br />

popular theatre in Philadelphia and the most subscribed theatre<br />

company in the world!<br />

We’re thrilled to share our production of In the Heights with<br />

you tonight. I saw this show with my family soon after it won<br />

the Tony Award for Best Musical and was transported by the<br />

music and dancing. It reminded me of how exciting it was to<br />

see West Side Story for the very first time. It is a tribute to the<br />

American Dream. We all want what is best for our loved ones,<br />

whether it’s an opportunity to succeed in business, an education<br />

for our children or a chance at true love. I hope you enjoy this<br />

groundbreaking 21st century musical as much as I do.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman responsible for the book, Quiara Alegría Hudes, is not only a 2012 Pulitzer Prize winner,<br />

but a Philadelphia native. Putting a spotlight on Philadelphia talent has always been important to<br />

me. Producing work that has local talent, not only on the stage and behind-the-scenes but also<br />

involved in the origin of the show, is really special. Quiara Alegría Hudes, along with Lin-Manuel<br />

Miranda who created the show, have given the world the next chapter in the classic American story.<br />

Continuing our “season of dreams,” we’re looking forward to two more spectacular musicals, a<br />

classic comedy and a gripping new play from the creator of TV’s Brothers and Sisters. Celebrate the<br />

holidays with family and friends at Elf, the hilarious Broadway musical based on the Hollywood hit<br />

film. Next is Broadway’s acclaimed drama, Other Desert Cities, followed by Broadway’s classic<br />

madcap comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. We end our remarkable season with the blockbuster Tony<br />

and Pulitzer Prize–winning musical comedy, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.<br />

I’d also like to invite you to visit us upstairs in our cozy Independence Studio on 3. Just an elevator<br />

ride away, we have a wonderful season for our intimate space including: Sophie Tucker: <strong>The</strong> Last<br />

of the Red Hot Mamas; Driving Miss Daisy; Beautiful Boy; <strong>The</strong> Rise and Fall of Little Voice; and<br />

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.<br />

Thank you for joining us ‘In the Heights!’<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Bernard Havard<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Walnut</strong> welcomes PNC Arts Alive<br />

as its Community Partner for In the Heights!<br />

<strong>Walnut</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre is a proud to have been<br />

selected as a recipient of the prestigious 2013<br />

PNC Arts Alive grant.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> creativity of Philadelphia’s arts sector is<br />

clearly evident in the innovative programs by PNC<br />

Arts Alive grantees,” said Bill Mills, PNC regional<br />

president for Philadelphia and Southern New<br />

Jersey. “We set out to make<br />

the arts more accessible and<br />

challenged arts groups to help<br />

people experience art in new<br />

ways—to engage them now<br />

and in the future. <strong>The</strong> region’s<br />

performing arts community has<br />

delivered.”<br />

Sponsored by PNC Arts Alive,<br />

<strong>Walnut</strong>’s community outreach<br />

for In the Heights is a multifaceted,<br />

audience development<br />

initiative aimed at the Greater<br />

Philadelphia Latino community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> centerpiece of the project is Photo by John Vecchiolla.<br />

two additional performances—<br />

the first for adults in the Latino<br />

community, and the second a student-matinee for<br />

high schools in communities with dense Latino<br />

populations. Each will feature a post-show discussion<br />

with members of the cast and creative team, offering<br />

an unforgettable evening of live theatre.<br />

Kristin Prinn, executive director of L.U.C.Y.<br />

(Lifting Up Camden’s Youth) Outreach, was thrilled<br />

to learn about the community performances, stating<br />

“<strong>The</strong> youth and staff of L.U.C.Y. Outreach are<br />

Perry Young as Usnavi.<br />

honored to have this opportunity to partner with the<br />

<strong>Walnut</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre. We are so appreciative of the<br />

theater’s efforts to create a memorable experience<br />

for local Latino inner city youth, enabling them to<br />

see a musical for the first time. In the Heights is the<br />

Broadway show that the youth have been asking to<br />

go and see for the past five years, and you have now<br />

made that dream a reality! This particular musical<br />

has a theme of hope, change<br />

and dreams, themes that are a<br />

powerful and ever-present part<br />

of the lives of Camden’s youth<br />

each and every day.”<br />

Joanna Otero-Cruz, executive<br />

director of <strong>The</strong> Council of<br />

Spanish Speaking Organizations,<br />

Inc. (Concilio), saw the<br />

significance of sharing this<br />

production with Philadelphia’s<br />

Latino community, commenting<br />

“Concilio is excited to partner<br />

with the <strong>Walnut</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre<br />

and bring awareness to the<br />

importance of theatre and the<br />

arts not only in Philadelphia but<br />

in its Latino Community. <strong>The</strong> arts, music, dance, and<br />

multiple ways of expression are extremely important<br />

to human development and overall part of culture.”<br />

<strong>Walnut</strong> <strong>Street</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre is grateful to PNC Arts<br />

Alive for their support of In the Heights. For<br />

most subscribed theatre company in the world.<br />

BERNARD HAVARD (President and<br />

Producing Artistic Director) Vox Populi (<strong>The</strong><br />

Who’s Who<br />

Voice of the People) was written on the<br />

<strong>Walnut</strong> <strong>Playbill</strong>s in the 1800s. Whenever the<br />

<strong>Walnut</strong> has strayed from a populist program,<br />

the theatre has gone bankrupt. When I came<br />

here 31 years ago, we had no programs and<br />

no audience. Today we enjoy the largest<br />

subscription of any theatre in the world. So,<br />

my thanks to our loyal audience and a warm<br />

welcome to newcomers who enjoy and believe<br />

in what we do. I have tremendous admiration<br />

for the artists who have dedicated their lives<br />

to the theatre and the <strong>Walnut</strong>, in particular.<br />

Our theatre is a non-profit 501-C3 institution<br />

and we rely on contributed income to extend<br />

our reach into the community. Last season we<br />

reached more than 120,000 students in our city<br />

schools. We have 34 trustees who give their<br />

time, wisdom and contributions to help guide<br />

this historical treasure. I came to the <strong>Walnut</strong><br />

in 1982, and I am as excited now about our<br />

future as I was in the beginning. My heartfelt<br />

thanks to all who enter this theatre. For my<br />

biography, go to <strong>The</strong>atre History on our web<br />
