Bringing stories to life

It all begins with a story.

The best theater begins with a story, penned by a gifted playwright and interpreted by an equally talented director. A great theater season draws from a wide range of voices and styles, bringing together a collection of work that entertains, and also challenges our ideas of who we are, how we got here and where we are going.

The 2007/2008 Season reflected the Goodman’s dedication to seeking out, nurturing and sharing with its audiences the greatest storytellers of the past, present and future. The season explored stories of great passion, romance, politics, tragedy, loss and love throughout a variety of time periods, cultures and genres. Our artists brought these stories to life on stage with the imagination, intelligence and artistry that continue to make the Goodman one of our country’s leading regional theater companies.

When you attend a play at the Goodman you

may come upon a classic that has not been

seen on stage for years, or you may witness the

first public performance of a play with a bright

future. The Goodman is dedicated to presenting

living works of art, whether classic or contem-

porary, with an emphasis on new work by the

finest writers in the country. It all begins with

a compelling story.

The future of a theater rests ultimately on its relationship with

the artists who create the plays for its stages. Our 2007/2008

Season was devoted to taking the kinds of risks and exploring

the bold artistic visions that truly make an artistic organization

come alive.

We covered a lot of ground during the 2007/2008 Season, from

world premieres to innovative revivals. The journey began with

Passion Play: a cycle in three parts, an original work by Pulitzer

Prize-nominated playwright Sarah Ruhl. We moved on to

intrigue and mystery with Conor McPherson’s Shining City.

I was thrilled to bring this piece, with a remarkable new local

cast, to Chicago after the privilege of directing its American

premiere on Broadway.

In the winter we celebrated the work of Horton Foote with A

Trip to Bountiful in the Albert, and Talking Pictures and two

one-act plays, Blind Date and The Actor, in the Owen. We were

honored to produce this retrospective of Foote’s contribution to

American theater for our audiences.

For the next production in the Albert, Ifa Bayeza penned a new

play, The Ballad of Emmett Till. This poignant and heartbreak-

ing play was developed in the Goodman’s 2006 New Stages

Series and is a powerful addition to the American theater

repertoire. Capping the Albert Season was Resident Director

Chuck Smith’s revival of Ain’t Misbehavin’, the electrifying

L e T T e r f r O m T h e A r T I S T I c D I r e c T O r

musical showcase of legendary composer/performer Thomas

“Fats” Waller.

The Owen season started with Eduardo Machado’s The Cook;

in the spring, the Owen was home to the world premiere of

Brett Neveu’s Gas For Less, part of the Goodman’s 2007 New

Stages Series.

In August, Resident Artistic Associate Henry Godinez curated

our 4th biennial Latino Theatre Festival. The spectacular line-

up of plays, music, movement and puppetry brought some of

the most extraordinary Latino theater artists in the world to

our stages.

During the holiday season we celebrated the 30th annual pro-

duction of A Christmas Carol, a holiday classic that has become

the entry point to theater for a legion of young people, as well as

an annual tradition for thousands of families.

As always, the exemplary work found onstage in our theaters

has been matched by those offstage who made these produc-

tions possible. Executive Director Roche Schulfer provided

steadfast support for the season while helping to forge the long-

range goals of the theater. And Artistic Associates Frank Galati,

Henry Godinez, Steve Scott, Chuck Smith, Regina Taylor and

Mary Zimmerman continued to dedicate their considerable

talents to an artistic vision that constantly expands in breadth

and depth.

Thank you for your patronage; we hope that you will continue

to explore the human experience through the most vital of art

forms, live theater.

Artistic Director

3 | ARTISTIC DIRECTOR LETTER

To produce theater is to create something both

ephemeral and concrete that lives as much

in the imagination of the audience as on the

stage. Theater must continually challenge and

recreate itself to produce work that is fresh,

entertaining and thought-provoking. The

2007/2008 Season brilliantly showcased the

Goodman’s mission to present diverse, com-

pelling works of art.

With its resources and dedicated staff, the Goodman has trans-

formed the visions of playwrights, directors and designers from

around the world into theatrical brilliance, and has created a

supportive environment where artists are inspired to do their

best work.

I am pleased to review institutional highlights of the 2007/2008

Season:

• Public support reached $6.1 million—a 3.4% increase from

last season

• Corporate contributions increased 22% from last season

• Our Annual Fund increased 17% from last season

• We sold our millionth ticket to A Christmas Carol

• Ticket sales were at 88% of capacity

• We created three new education and community programs

• We presented our fourth biennial Latino Theatre Festival

These are only some of the results from a remarkable year. The

challenge for the future will be to uphold our high artistic stan-

dards, attract new audiences and secure new sources of public

support. We must continue to explore our art and challenge

ourselves and our audiences with theater that forces us to re-

examine ourselves and the world around us.

L e T T e r f r O m T h e e x e c u T I v e D I r e c T O r

Thanks to Bob for his friendship and the vision he brings to the

Goodman. I am grateful to Steve Scott, Kathy Murphy, Peter

Calibraro, Dorlisa Martin, Lori Kleinerman, Scott Conn, Willa

Taylor, Denise Schneider and the rest of the Goodman staff who

have devoted their time and talents to creating this extraordi-

nary season. The members of our boards have once again given

generously of their wisdom and resources to keep the Goodman

among the healthiest theaters in the country.

Under the leadership of Chairman Shawn M. Donnelley, the

community has shown its enthusiastic support for the work

that we do. Her steadfast commitment to theater in Chicago,

particularly to the Goodman, is remarkable. It is a pleasure

to work with her and I look forward to many more years

of collaboration.

There is not space here to express the fullness of our gratitude

to those who collaborated with us. Their commitment is un-

rivaled. We ask you to note the names of the individuals, corpo-

rations, foundations and government agencies on the following

pages that make our work possible.

Roche Schulfer

Executive Director

4 | EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LETTER

I am delighted to share the 2007/2008

Annual Report of Goodman Theatre. It was

a pleasure to partner with Artistic Director

Robert Falls and Executive Director Roche

Schulfer to help bring the season to Chicago

audiences. Under Robert Falls’ artistic leader-

ship we produced a powerful season of produc-

tions which were acclaimed by audiences and

critics alike. The outstanding administrative

staff, with Roche Schulfer at the helm, worked

together with our volunteer leadership to achieve the highest

public support results in the Goodman’s history.

Since its founding in 1925, Goodman Theatre has maintained its

place at the forefront of American theater. Through its dynamic

and diverse productions, the Goodman has paved the way for

the city’s now flourishing theater community and helped create

the audiences that keep it alive. The theaters many education

and community engagement programs and collaborations with

other Chicago performing arts organizations illustrate that the

Goodman is a theater for all, reflecting the rich diversity of our

city – on its stages and in its audiences.

The Goodman moves towards the future with a dedication

to entertaining and engaging our audiences, our city and our

world. With over 200 theaters, both large and small, Chicago is

at the center of the American theater. As the oldest and largest

nonprofit theater in the city, we seek to be an ambassador to the

world and to bring the world’s stories to our stages. Thank you

for embracing our vision and for being a part of the Goodman

for many years to come.

L E T T E R F R O M T H E C H A I R M A N

The ability to maintain highest artistic standards depends upon

the continued success of our fundraising efforts. The con-

tributions of resources and time from my fellow trustees,

the Women’s Board and Scenemakers Council have been

invaluable. The support of our loyal subscribers and donors

has contributed immeasurably to our success and allows us to

produce thought-provoking and compelling theater.

I express my deep appreciation to all who helped make our

2007/2008 Season an overwhelming success. Please know that

that everyone associated with the Goodman is deeply grateful

for your support.

See you at the theater,

Shawn M. Donnelley

On December 2, we enjoyed a benefit to celebrate the 30th

anniversary of A Christmas Carol. The event began with holiday

entertainment and lunch in the Narcissus Room at Macy’s, fol-

lowed by a matinee performance of the holiday classic. Thank

you to Women’s Board Benefit Co-Chair Joy Dreimann for her

hard work and inspired leadership on this event.

All of these activities led to a very rewarding season for the

Goodman’s Women’s Board. I wish to thank the individuals and

corporations who sponsored our events, contributed auction

items and provided in-kind services; and, of course, the guests

who attended. Your generosity was appreciated beyond mea-

sure. Please see page 29 for a complete listing of our sponsors.

It has been an honor to lead such a remarkable group of women

for the last two years. They made my job an enjoyable one during

my tenure. Also, special thanks to the Development staff for

making our work easier. It is with great pride and satisfaction

that I turn over the Presidency to my very capable successor,

Karen Pigott. I am sure that she will be just as grateful as I have

been to work with such an extraordinary group of women,

and for such a worthwhile organization as the Goodman.

a r T i s T i c d e v e l o p m e n T

The progress of theater relies on the development of new works that tell

inspired, original stories about the unique—and the universal—experi-

ences in life. As one of America’s leading regional theaters, Goodman

Theatre is committed to the development of new plays that aspire to

become tomorrow’s classics, such as Passion Play: a cycle in three parts

by Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Sarah ruhl. The Goodman

supports new work like Passion Play by commissioning plays from new

and established playwrights, holding public readings and workshops of

pieces in progress and presenting full productions on our stages.

During the 2007/2008 Season, the new Work Development com-

mittee, co-chaired by Trustees eva Losacco and eugene Zeffren, provided

ongoing support for these efforts; 2007/2008 commissions included:

Dartmoor Prison, a new play by carlyle Brown that chronicles the true

story of African American sailors captured by the British. Brown’s

other plays include Pure Confidence, The Fula from America and The

Negro of Peter the Great.

Diagram of a Paper Airplane, a new play by carlos murillo, a chicago-

based writer and visiting Professor at the Theatre School of DePaul

university. murillo’s plays include dark play, or stories for boys and

Mimesophobia (or Before and After).

Without, a new play by Sean Graney, a chicago-based director

and playwright, and Artistic Director of The hypocrites, an award-

winning theater company known for its innovative approach to

contemporary and modern classics.

A new play by Sarah ruhl, whose award-winning plays include The Clean

House (finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama), Dead Man’s Cell Phone

and Eurydice.

A new play by rebecca Gilman, a chicago-based playwright and frequent

Goodman collaborator whose work includes Spinning Into Butter, Boy

Gets Girl, Blue Surge and Dollhouse.

Playwrights like eduardo machado create stories that invite us into

other cultures, eras and realities. A good story challenges, entertains

and stimulates, creating a unique context for audiences to learn about the

world around them. The Goodman draws upon the stories on our stages

to develop education and community events for each production, such as

the Context series for The Cook which explored the ways race and culture

are addressed in post-revolutionary cuba.

In addition to the hallmark Student Subscription Series (page 12) and

the General Theater Studies (page 14) programs, the Goodman’s edu-

cation and community programs include:

Cindy Bandle Young Critics is a program for 11th-grade girls named for

cindy Bandle, who passed away in 2005 after serving as the Goodman’s

press director for 20 years. This program is a joint venture with the Asso-

ciation for Women Journalists; each of the 18 participants is mentored by

a professional journalist and is treated as a working member of the press

for all Goodman productions. The students’ stories, podcast reviews and

features are available on the Goodman education blog provided in the

Student Subscription Series section of www.goodmaneacp.typepad.com.

Context: Discourse and Discussion is a series that provides audiences

with the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions about the pro-

ductions on the Goodman stages. The discussions give audiences the

chance to explore the connections between what they see onstage

and what they experience in the world. each event is recorded as part of

WBeZ’s “chicago Amplified” audio archives. The recordings are acces-

sible at www.chicagopublicradio.org/Program_AMP.aspx.

Family Time is a collaboration between Goodman Theatre, Serendipity

Theatre collective and local collage artists to develop StoryQuilt

workshops designed for children ages 8 through 12. each workshop

explored a different theme from a Goodman production. families

enjoyed tales from master storytellers, learned the elements of story

structure and created quilt panels to visually represent their own stories.

The Student Subscription Series provides free sub-

scriptions for thousands of school children each year.

On november 27, more than 800 students new to the

program attended the 30th-anniversary production of

A Christmas Carol and were treated to a post-show dis-

cussion with the actors. Dickens’ classic story contains

a wide range of themes for teachers to discuss in their

classrooms, from the Industrial revolution to ghost

stories to holiday traditions, making A Christmas Carol

an ideal introduction to live theater for young people.

The Student Subscription Series is about much more

than just seeing a play. Teachers work with the Good-

man throughout the year to design lesson plans for

each production they will see. The program not only

gives students a rich theatergoing experience, but

also aids in the development of critical thinking and

communication skills, and sparks curiosity and enthu-

siasm for learning.

The Goodman provides training and publishes study

guides for teachers that contain information and

activities that relate the plays to required chicago

Public Schools curricula. The program also includes

classroom visits by actors, artists and members of

the theater’s education and community programs

staff. more than 2,800 students from 47 schools

participated in the program during the 2007/2008

Season. many of the materials created for the Student

Subscription Series are viewable and downloadable on

General Theater Studies program to apply oral history

and personal storytelling techniques to their explora-

tion of how we become the people we are and how we

reconcile our public and private identities.

The General Theater Studies program offers students

ages 14 through 19 an intensive introduction to theater.

This unique summer program introduces participants

to all elements of the creation of theater, both on

the stage and behind the scenes, with a focus on

storytelling. At the end of the six-week program, the

participants present an original performance for fam-

ily, friends and Goodman staff that weaves together

personal stories and the stories they collect through

interviews and research, ultimately exploring how they

each contribute to the human drama.

horton footE fEstiVaL

horton foote unsentimentally captured the thoughts, emo-

tions and everyday stories of small-town America with a

signature delicacy and understated intensity. his work is finely

observed and deceptively subtle, with an artfulness and com-

plexity that sneaks up on and transports its audiences.

In february and march 2008 the horton foote festival

showcased four plays, and also provided unique ancillary

programming for audience members to learn more about this

highly esteemed, Academy Award-winning playwright and

his work:

“Actors on horton” brought together members of The Trip

to Bountiful cast and other frequent interpreters of horton

foote’s stage work to discuss the unique challenges and rewards

of bringing his plays to life.

mr. foote took the stage in an entertaining and enthralling

look at his remarkable theater and film career for “a conversa-

tion with horton Foote.”

“The films of horton foote” highlighted mr. foote’s film

career, focusing on his ongoing collaboration with actor

robert Duvall. The evening included screenings of Tender

Mercies (1983) and Convicts (1991), with commentary by

special guest critics.

for “Anatomy of a Trial: To Kill a Mockingbird, the Scottsboro

Boys and the Jena 6,” a distinguished panel of historians and

social activists used excerpts from the film To Kill a Mocking-

bird (for which mr. foote wrote the Academy Award-winning

screenplay) to discuss the political landscape of other note-

worthy trials.

Goodman Theatre’s commitment to diversity was

exemplified in its production of The Ballad of Emmett

Till, a world-premiere play by emerging playwright Ifa

Bayeza. At once a wholly universal story and one rooted

in chicago history, the play encapsulated the social,

political and personal struggles of the African Ameri-

can experience in a single event that helped spark the

civil rights movement.

The Ballad of Emmett Till was one of eight plays chosen

from more than 600 submissions for a summer work-

shop at The O’neill Theater center’s national Play-

wrights conference. “In theater the playwright is king,”

remarked Artistic Director robert falls, “and it is the

responsibility of the Goodman and leading theaters

nationwide to create opportunities for writers to

develop new work in collaboration with world-class

directors. cultivating a wide range of new American

plays is fundamental to the Goodman’s goals of quality,

diversity and community.”

The Ballad of Emmett Till followed the Goodman’s

tradition of producing diverse work as well as build-

ing and nurturing relationships with talented artists

such as the late August Wilson, eduardo machado,

José rivera, Tanya Saracho, resident Director chuck

Smith, Artistic Associate regina Taylor and resident

Artistic Associate henry Godinez.

22 | COLLABORATION

A successful play depends on a good story and collaboration.

When a playwright writes a script, collaboration starts almost

immediately. In a way, the entire theater becomes responsible

for lifting the story off the page and translating it live onstage

for audiences to experience.

Ain’t Misbehavin’ is a perfect example of collaboration between

artists and their subject. The project was conceived by richard

maltby, Jr., who partnered with murray horwitz to bring fats

Waller’s music and personal story to life. Together they created both

a musical feast and a loving tribute to a brilliant and complex artist.

collaboration occurs not only between artists, but also between

theaters and cities, and even between a theater and its community.

Groups that work together can obtain greater resources, recognition

and reward when facing competition for resources and audiences.

The Goodman has collaborative relationships with many

other theater companies in chicago. During the 2007/2008

Season the Goodman’s Owen Theatre was home to congo

Square’s Black Nativity and the chicago children’s Theatre’s

Esperanza Rising during the Latino Theatre festival.

In April 2008, the Goodman served as a hub for Looptopia, the

nation’s only dusk-to-dawn cultural and artistic spectacle. for

this event, the Goodman partnered with Serendipity Theatre

collective to present a special edition of Serendipity’s signature

“2nd Story” storytelling programs, featuring behind-the-scenes

tales of real-life experiences at the Goodman. Presented infor-

mally in the Goodman lobby, these unique stories delighted

audiences while challenging them to create their own “true-

life” narratives.

24 | LATINO THEATRE FESTIVAL

Goodman Theatre’s biennial Latino Theatre festival

brings international stories to the stage. curated by

Goodman resident Artistic Associate henry Godinez,

the 2008 festival included performances from Latin

America, Spain, Los Angeles, new York and chicago.

The electrifying lineup of music, movement and

puppetry included the wildly popular culture clash,

the enchanting puppetry of mexico’s De La Oreja

Al Corazón, a vivacious one-woman show from

Adriana Sevan and marta carrasco’s seductive piece

J’arrive...!, among many other thrilling productions,

events and workshops. There was something for every-

one at this theatrical feast for the senses.

“for the fourth biennial celebration of Latino culture,

we invited audiences to join the Goodman in a celebra-

tion of Latino culture with performances from some

of the most extraordinary Latino theater artists in the

world,” says festival curator and Goodman resident

Artistic Associate henry Godinez.

The Scenemakers Council is a diverse group of young professionals who act

as ambassadors to raise philanthropic support for the theater. They also

spearhead a special subscription package called The Scene, composed of three

pre-show receptions at downtown Chicago hot spots, followed by three shows

at the Goodman. This year, The Scene Subscribers enjoyed networking at the

Redhead Piano Bar, Trattoria No. 10 and Sopraffina Marketcaffè before com-

ing to the Goodman to see The Cook, Talking Pictures and Ain’t Misbehavin’.

For the 2007/2008 Season, the Scenemakers Council outdid itself by selling

nearly 175 The Scene subscriptions—more than double the number sold during

the 2006/2007 Season.

The Minority Arts Fellowship Program continued during the 2007/2008 Season.

Funded by a grant from the Joyce Foundation, this program provided entry- and

mid-level minority arts administrators with a season-long position with the

Goodman’s management staff. Logan Vaughn, who had joined the theater as a

casting intern in the fall, was selected as the third and final Joyce Fellow.

Goodman Theatre’s Internship Program provides a challenging and stimulating expe-

rience for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as early-career professionals

who are committed to theater management. Each season, approximately 30 interns

gain experience in virtually every department at the theater.

Goodman interns are introduced to the network of theater professionals through

working with Goodman staff and artists and by participating in Intern Forums.

These forums bring interns together with theater professionals from around the city

for brown-bag lunches and informal conversation about topics ranging from the role

of critics, to fundraising, to the Goodman’s place on the international theater scene,

to embarking on a career in theater.

The accumulation of such experiences in the Goodman’s supportive environment

builds interns’ confidence and sharpens their commitment to the mission of pro-

fessional regional theater. Successful internships can lead not only to future job

opportunities, but also to lifelong friendships and professional associations

Goodman Theatre is chicago’s oldest and largest not-for-profit theater, interna-

tionally renowned for the quality of its productions, the depth and diversity of

its artistic leadership, and for its many community and educational programs.

The vision of the Goodman is to become the premier cultural organization in

chicago through productions and community programs that make an essential

contribution to the quality of life in our society.

The Goodman has identified three institutional values that form the basis for

the vision and objectives of Goodman Theatre, and serve as guiding pillars for

our productions and programming. These values are:

Q u A L I T Y

Goodman Theatre believes that live theater illuminates the past, informs the

present and imagines the future. We seek to provide our audiences with the de-

finitive theater experience. We strive to give our artists the resources that enable

them to do the best possible work with the highest standards of excellence.

D I v e r S I T Y

Goodman Theatre believes that respect for diversity is a cornerstone of our com-

munity and our society. Our work features a variety of aesthetics, cultures and

modes of theatrical expression. We are committed to promoting creativity, col-

laboration, artistic risk-taking, freedom of expression and cultural diversity.

c O m m u n I T Y

Goodman Theatre believes that live theater plays a unique role in the educa-

tional, social and economic development of a community. for example, theater

develops cognitive skills, emotional growth and moral awareness, particularly

in young people. Since the Goodman is a part of the community, we believe that

we have a responsibility to improve the quality of life through our productions

and educational programs.
