Dear friends,<br />

It’s thrilling, head-spinning, painful, revelatory, emotional and wonderful to be<br />

present at the birth of something new. <strong>Designing</strong> <strong>Women</strong> is a world premiere at a<br />

theatre that celebrates bold new plays, which promises to have a long life beyond<br />

our stage—and you’re here for it.<br />

Creating new work is a risk, and risk-taking is one reason why theatre is at its best<br />

in a non-profit setting. It is harder to take risks when the central motive is<br />

generating a profit.<br />

Accessibility, intimacy, education, equity, inclusion, and, frankly, quality are also<br />

core values that are sometimes sacrificed when the focus drifts from mission to<br />

what some call “the bottom line.”<br />

But being “non-profit” doesn’t mean that creating the work is free. Every single<br />

person on stage and behind it takes home a paycheck, and they should. The<br />

materials to build the set, the cost of a plane ticket for the director, the Facebook<br />

ad you might’ve seen to convince you to come, and the ticket stock that’s still in<br />

your pocket all have a real cost. Each empty seat is a lost opportunity to help us<br />

pay to enact these values, just as much as it is a missed chance to transport<br />

someone through art, perspective-taking, and a greater empathy that ideally<br />

bleeds over, collectively, into the everyday actions we take.<br />

L. BLOODWORTH THOMASON<br />

Playwright<br />

Linda Bloodworth Thomason, creator of the<br />

landmark comedy series <strong>Designing</strong> <strong>Women</strong><br />

(and the critically acclaimed Evening Shade<br />

and Hearts Afire) is among the most prolific<br />

writers in American television. The multiple<br />

Emmy and Golden Globe nominee has penned<br />

over 315 episodes for the small screen. Her<br />

very first script, for MASH, was nominated<br />

for an Emmy. Her first political film became<br />

the iconic Man From Hope. Her first novel,<br />

Liberating Paris, was a New York Times<br />

Bestseller (with Publishers Weekly naming her<br />

one of the ten most promising new novelists<br />

in America). In 2013, her first feature-length<br />

documentary, Bridegroom, won the Tribeca<br />

Film Festival. Bloodworth Thomason's<br />

numerous honors include: The Lucy Award<br />

from <strong>Women</strong> In Film, The Eleanor Roosevelt<br />

Freedom of Speech Award and The Silver<br />

Satellite Award (the highest honor bestowed<br />

by American <strong>Women</strong> in Radio and Television).<br />

So thank you. For buying a ticket, for making a gift, for telling your friends. If we<br />

value these things, we ought to do something about it. We’re doing our part. You<br />

are, too. Keep it up.<br />

It’s worth it.<br />

Enjoy the show!<br />

Dear friends and supporters,<br />

TheatreSquared is working hard to thrive during a period<br />

that continues to be defined by uncertainty and change. The<br />

company has kept intact—and grown—its talented team,<br />

garnering rave national reviews for its work; and it continues<br />

to take meaningful steps to advance equity and inclusion. On<br />

behalf of the Board, I want to salute the agility, innovation,<br />

and hard work of this group of artists and arts professionals.<br />

It’s an inspiration to watch.<br />

I also want to thank you. Without the steadfast charitable<br />

support of this community—the generosity, kindness, and<br />

strength of our loyal donors—this trying period could be very<br />

different.<br />

As we continue to chart a course through and beyond this difficult time, we need our<br />

community with us. Will you join this company and vision? Consider a gift to make this<br />

work possible so that we can all move forward together.<br />

Thank you. As ever, it’s an exciting time to be part of TheatreSquared.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Todd Simmons, T2 Board President<br />
