50th<br />
season<br />
This year, TheatreWorks Silicon Valley is<br />
hitting the half-century mark and has planned<br />
their season to highlight all of the things that<br />
have thrilled patrons, launched new shows,<br />
honored beloved classics and left the audience<br />
wanting more. So it was no surprise that, just<br />
before this most momentous anniversary,<br />
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley will be honored as<br />
the Best Regional Theatre at the 73rd Annual<br />
Tony Awards. We could not be prouder to<br />
have hosted TheatreWorks as our Home<br />
Company from the day our doors first opened<br />
in 1991. And their first show with MVCPA?<br />
The world premiere of the musical Go Down<br />
Garvey. So let’s see what’s in store 28 years<br />
later.<br />

Mark Twain’s River of Song<br />
by Randal Myler and Dan Wheetman and<br />
directed by Randal Myler<br />
A ROLLICKING MUSICAL JOURNEY<br />
Book passage on a riverboat down the mighty<br />
Mississippi, teeming with rousing traditional<br />
songs and the poignant stories of the Big<br />
Muddy’s favorite son, Mark Twain. Told with<br />
wry humor and surprising emotion, played on<br />
a parade of guitars, banjos and harmonicas,<br />
this music-filled journey will have you tapping<br />
your feet as it warms your heart.<br />

The Book of Will<br />
By Lauren Gundersen and directed by Robert<br />
Kelley<br />
STEINBERG/ATCA NEW PLAY AWARD and<br />
REGIONAL PREMIERE<br />
What if Shakespeare’s lines had disappeared<br />
forever? Amidst the clamor and color of<br />
Elizabethan London, this touching celebration<br />
of the theatre is a funny, heartwarming tale of<br />
lifelong collaborators struggling to assemble<br />
and publish the Bard’s life work—a lasting<br />
memorial to a lost friend. Facing a devious<br />
publisher, a cantankerous competitor and their<br />
own insecurity, they illuminate this tale of<br />
love, loss and laughter, the soaring finale of<br />
Artistic Director Robert Kelley’s 50th Season at<br />
TheatreWorks.<br />
June 3–28<br />
The 39 Steps<br />
Adapted by Patrick Barlow and based on the<br />
book by John Buchan<br />
OLIVIER AWARD—<br />
LONDON’S BEST NEW COMEDY<br />
TheatreWorks’ acclaimed hit comedy returns<br />
in a hilarious, high speed spoof of Alfred<br />
Hitchcock’s silver-screen classic. Mingling mystery<br />
and laughter, this irresistable Broadway<br />
smash hurtles a notorious fugitive and a spellbound<br />
blonde from a raucous London music<br />
hall to Scotland’s most remote highlands—and<br />
a den of devious spies. Along the way it creates<br />
trains, planes, moors and more in a wildly<br />
funny flight to the heights of theatrical invention.<br />
August 21–September 15<br />

The Pianist of Willesden Lane<br />
Adapted and Directed by Hershey Felder and<br />
based on the book Children of Willesden Lane<br />
by Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen<br />
A TRIUMPHANT TOUR DE FORCE<br />
Holding fast to dreams of concert success, a<br />
young Jewish pianist escapes Vienna via the<br />
Kindertransport, arriving in England at the<br />
outset of WWII. In a stunning, nationally<br />
acclaimed performance, concert pianist Mona<br />
Golabek recounts her mother’s poignant saga<br />
of hope and resilience, underscored with extraordinary<br />
music from Bach, Beethoven and<br />
many more. Created by Hershey Felder, it celebrates<br />
the power of music to transcend the<br />
darkest of times.<br />
January 15–February 9<br />
Ragtime<br />
Book by Terrance McNally, music by Stephen<br />
Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, based on the<br />
novel by E.L. Doctorow, and directed by<br />
Robert Kelley<br />
TONY AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL<br />
This timeless musical masterpiece celebrates<br />
the soaring sounds and hopeful spiri of<br />
America at the dawn of the last century. To<br />
the syncopated rhythms of an optimistic new<br />
age, this unforgettable theatreical tapestry<br />
interweaves the delights of vaudeville, baseball<br />
and nickelodeon with the hurly-burly of labor<br />
rallies and racial unrest, tracing the lives of an<br />
enterprising Jewish immigrant, a courageous<br />
Harlem pianist and an upper-class wife brilliantly<br />
combined in a jubilant melting pot<br />
tribute to the American Dream.<br />

a unique poetic play. This performance is performed<br />

Separation of Church and<br />
State<br />
Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 pm<br />
Moderated by Santa Clara County Supervisor<br />
Joe Simitian and co-sponsored by the City of<br />
Mountain View, this interfaith panel consisting<br />
of Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and<br />
Christian representatives aim to address the different<br />
ways in which their religious communities<br />
have interacted with government. The<br />
panel will answer questions such as: What are<br />
normative teachings in your tradition about<br />
separation of church and state? How has your<br />
religious community traditionally interacted<br />
with the state? How does this relationship play<br />
out in the United States today? What happens<br />
when your religious practices conflict with the<br />
state? What are some of both the challenges<br />
and benefits of religious communities’ relationship<br />
with the state or lack thereof? The session<br />
will also include a period of Q&A with the<br />
audience. Join us!<br />
