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 />

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 />
