Kevin AndersonLeeKevin is thrilled to be back at Seattle Rep where he was seen last year as Jeeter in Last of the Boys. Regionally, he has performed at Roundabout, Second Stage, and Manhattan Theatre Club in NYC, Steppenwolf, Goodman, and Victory Gardens in Chicago, and the Geffen in LA. Kevin has starred in over 30 film and television productions and over 30 stage productions worldwide from Steppenwolf (35-year ensemble member) to Broadway, Off-Broadway, Dublin, and London’s West End. He has been nominated for a Tony Award (Death of a Salesman), Outer Critics Circle Award (Come Back Little Sheba), Golden Globe, Viewers for Quality Television, TV Critics Association Awards (“Nothing Sacred”), and has won Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards (Death of a Salesman), and Theatre World and Jefferson Awards (Orphans). Some of his most memorable performances include Orphans (with Albert Finney), Sleeping with the Enemy (with Julia Roberts), Sunset Boulevard (with Patti LuPone), RFK in Hoffa (with Jack Nicholson), and Biff in Death of a Salesman. He is perhaps best known for his performance as Father Ray in ABC’s “Nothing Sacred.” Recently, he created the role of Mr. Breeding in Tracy Letts' new play The Minutes at Steppenwolf and portrayed John Adams in the musical 1776 in Jacksonville, Florida.
Lori LarsenMomLori Larsen played Hazel in The Children last fall at Island Stage Left on San Juan Island. She returns to Seattle Rep where she made her debut 50 years ago as a hotel guest in A Flea in Her Ear. She has wrestled sardines in Noises Off, slid down piano keys in Private Lives, gone slumming in satin in The Time of Your Life, secretly written a play in The Beard of Avon, shared the stage with a pug in The Constant Wife, comforted a hemophiliac in Shivaree,
broken all the furniture in Mandrake/The Wedding, taken her own life in The Front Page, danced the tango in The Vinegar Tree, and come in through the bathroom window in New Patagonia. She’s very happy to be back.
Zachary Ray ShermanAustinBorn in Portland, Oregon, actor Zachary Ray Sherman has lived in Los Angeles since 2005 when he was cast off a videotape audition for Tim Hunter's (River's Edge) western, The Far Side of Jericho. Past theater credits include: Keith Huff’s A Steady Rain, DB Levin’s One Step Over, Macbeth, and Lost in Yonkers. Film and TV credits include CBS's "90210," Netflix's teen dramedy "Archie's Final Project," Netflix’s series “Everything Sucks!" and the recently released film CUCK, for which he gained 45lbs for the role of an isolated, lonely, confused young man in 2019’s divided America. He's helmed two feature films: writing, directing, and producing Barbie's Kenny; and his second film, Thunderbolt In Mine Eye, co-directed with his sister Sarah, is executive produced by the Duplass Brothers.
Brandon J. SimmonsSaulBrandon J. Simmons is pleased to make his Seattle Rep debut in True West. Brandon has appeared with many theaters in Seattle, including Book-It Repertory Theatre (The Picture of Dorian Gray), The Seagull Project (The Seagull, The Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard), Washington Ensemble Theatre (Feathers & Teeth, Sextet), The Williams Project (A Bright Room Called Day), On the Boards (The People's Republic of Valerie), New City Theater (Hamlet, The Tempest), and numerous productions with Seattle Shakespeare Company, most recently as Olivia in Twelfth Night. He wrote Is She Dead Yet?, which received the 2016 Gregory Award for Outstanding New Play, and directed the Seattle premiere of An Octoroon at ArtsWest. Brandon co-founded The Seagull Project, where he served in various artistic and administrative roles from 2011-2018.
Cast Artistic/ ProductionSam ShepardPlaywrightSam Shepard’s first New York plays, Cowboys and The Rock Garden, were produced by Theatre Genesis in 1964. For several seasons, he worked with Off-Off-Broadway theater groups including La MaMa and Caffe Cino. Eleven of his plays won Obie Awards, including Chicago, The Tooth of the Crime, and Curse of the Starving Class. Other award-winning plays include Fool for Love, True West, A Lie of the Mind, and Buried Child, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1979. In 1986, Shepard was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters and received the Gold Medal for Drama from the Academy in 1992. He was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame two years later. As a writer and director, he filmed Far North and Silent Tongue. As an actor, he appeared in numerous films, including The Right Stuff, Days of Heaven, and Resurrection. His final works of prose, The One Inside and Spy of the First Person, were published in 2017, the year of his death.
Braden AbrahamDirectorBraden joined Seattle Rep in 2002 and held several positions on the artistic staff before his appointment as Artistic Director in 2015. An accomplished director, he has directed many productions for Seattle Rep, most recently: The Great Moment (premiere); A Doll’s House, Part 2; Last of the Boys; Ibsen in Chicago (premiere); Well; Luna Gale; and A View from the Bridge. Other productions include: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, A Great Wilderness (premiere), The Glass Menagerie, Clybourne Park, and the critically acclaimed, extended runs of Photograph 51; My Name is Rachel Corrie (U.S. regional premiere); and Betrayal. Braden directed the West Coast premieres of This (Seattle Rep), The K of D, an urban legend (Seattle Rep, Pistol Cat, FringeNYC, Illusion Theatre), Breakin’ Hearts and Takin’ Names, Opus (Seattle Rep), and White Hot (Marxiano Productions/West of Lenin). Other premieres include Riddled (Richard Hugo House), Clear Blue Sky (On the Boards/Northwest New Works), and The Ten Thousand Things (Washington Ensemble Theatre).

For Seattle Rep
Seattle RepSeattle Rep puts theater at the heart of public life. Founded in 1963 and winner of the 1990 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre, Seattle Rep is currently led by Artistic Director Braden Abraham and Managing Director Jeffrey Herrmann. Over a season and throughout the year, Seattle Rep collaborates with extraordinary artists to create productions and programs that reflect and elevate the diverse cultures, perspectives, and life experiences of the Pacific Northwest. Seattle Rep’s nationally recognized programs include the New Works Program, Seattle Rep’s Public Works, the August Wilson Monologue Competition, Pay What You Choose ticketing options, and numerous audience enrichment and engagement opportunities including post-play panels, discussions, and community events.
A stalwart volunteer and philanthropist with wide-ranging interests, Clodagh Carrow Ash (1934 – 2019) cared deeply about our community and about organizations advancing our region’s quality of life, from the performing arts to education and medicine. Seattle Rep was honored by her 16 years of service on the Board of Trustees (2003-2019), where she saw the theater through four artistic directors, two managing directors, the Great Recession, and significant changes and growth in our community. No matter what direction Seattle Rep’s leadership conversations took, Clodagh remained deeply engaged, always leaning in to share her opinion respectfully and ask challenging questions. Through her love of connecting people and organizations with one another and with the theater, Clodagh was truly aligned with our vision of putting theater at the heart of public life. Together with her husband, Bob, she was a 26-year subscriber and a dedicated advocate for the theater, providing steadfast annual support and helping to conclude our campaign to transform the PONCHO Forum. We will miss Clodagh’s warmth, compassion, and generous spirit.

Memoriam
In Memory of Clodagh Ash

Since the late 1970s and the appearance of his so-called Family Trilogy—Curse of the Starving Class, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Buried Child, and True West—Sam Shepard, who died at age 73 in 2017, has been considered “the greatest American playwright of his generation,” a title some theater cognoscenti had given him a decade earlier when he was the 20-something “genius” of the 1960s avant-garde Off-Off Broadway scene. I think Shepard was something more than his generation's preeminent dramatist: he has been for two, maybe three generations of theater folk the quintessential and essential American theater artist. The reasons are too many to list. Certainly the originality, lyricism, and visceral force and thrill of his writing. His uncompromising dedication to his art. He made theater cool, and both metaphorically and literally put rock 'n' roll into playwriting and made the playwright a rock star. That he was the theater artist who most showed us an America we recognized as our own—and, to a shocking degree, more recognize as our own with each passing decade. His plays manifest a country of accelerating disruption in which nothing is fixed or stable, not family, class, landscapes, or even an individual's personal identity; the disruption leaving both winners and losers anxious, haunted, and nostalgic for old myths, certainties, and authentic identities which had actually never been true, certain, or authentic. He explored the violence and insecurity of men, specifically of the “Anglo male American,” well before the term “toxic masculinity” was officially coined. And, of course, he was a movie star. For all his eminence as a playwright, Sam Shepard was best known to the public as Hollywood's go-to icon of strong, silent, and authentic
rural/Western manhood. That Shepard was, to put it mildly, skeptical of the archetype (and, indeed, of “authenticity”) and loathed Hollywood, are only two of the many ironies of Shepard's “day job.”
“Sam Shepard” was itself an assumed role, an attempted identity. He was born Samuel Shepard Rogers III, but was actually the seventh generation of eldest sons to bear the name. And burden it was; that family, cultural, and national heritage were simultaneously inescapable and barren and would become a recurring theme in his work. Nicknamed “Steve” to distinguish him from his father, the
young Rogers spent his formative years on an avocado farm in what was then rural eastern Los Angeles County, a community only some 40 miles east of Los Angeles proper but culturally a world away from the big city. As happens to the worlds of so many of Shepard's characters, that rural community would eventually be obliterated, transformed into the suburb in which True West is set.
Shepard is alone among the giants of American playwriting to come from the West, and the region looms large in his work—although what “West” means for Shepard and, separately, for his characters, is complicated. The young Samuel wasn't a cowboy but a farm boy for whom the “Old West” and the “Frontier” were only pop myths in television westerns. But he was and would always remain deeply
attached to rural life, to the land, agricultural work, and nature. On graduating high
school he enrolled in junior college to study animal husbandry. He ended up discovering jazz, acting, and the plays of Samuel Beckett, and at age 19 Steve Rogers
found himself a college drop-out in downtown New York City, where he changed his name to Sam Shepard and began writing plays.
More influenced by jazz, rock 'n' roll, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and “happenings” than by
literature or drama (about which he knew little), the
plays of Shepard's 20s are hallucinatory conjurings of
fractured, unstable worlds in which characters—often archetypes out of
pop culture—alter, morph, and merge without warning or logic. Even when obscure, the plays are vivid events
From the Artistic Director
Sam Shepard's plays manifest a country of
accelerating disruption in which nothing is
fixed or stable
12
and display the thrilling immediacy, exuberance, imagination, language, and themes that would define all of Shepard's work.
In his 30s, Shepard began to embrace story, character, and dramatic structure—the “old timey” notions he had rejected in the 1960s. The plays became less fantastical, more grounded in real circumstances that included elements of his own experience. This was not a
conversion to naturalism, but, as he later put it, a realization that “mythology has to come out of real life.” And he began to investigate a topic he'd long avoided: the family. “I was a little afraid of it,” Shepard admitted. “Particularly in relation to my old man and all of that emotion.”
The “old man” being the playwright's father, Samuel Shepard Rogers, Jr., a charismatic but deeply alienated and ultimately elusive man “full of terrifying anger,” who repeatedly abandoned his family and fought bitterly with his namesake and only son. In most of the playwright's mature plays, the presence of some version of the “old man” is felt—a volatile and mysterious figure recognized by his sons as alike themselves, but less the cause of their estrangement than a fellow victim of some old and hidden pattern of belief and behavior shaping their world. “You could see his suffering, his terrible suffering,” the playwright recalled in middle-age, “living a life that was disappointing and looking for another one.”
It's easy to exaggerate the degree to which Sam Shepard's writing changed. It might be more correct to say he changed us. He became less reliant on fractured storytelling to portray a fractured world, and the eerie mutation, doubling, and fusion of characters and identity became less explicit, but he never compromised his personal style, concerns, or skepticism of resolution and closure.
One of his most enduring legacies is his expansion of what we accept as “conventional” playwriting to accommodate his surrealism, absurdism, poetic leaps, and personal vision. Another, especially in this volatile moment in our history, is his admittedly personal, but also penetrating and prescient vision of our divided country and character.

Famous Sibling RivalriesTrue West explores the intricacies of sibling rivalry between two brothers. Explore a few examples of famous sibling rivalries throughout history:
Mary I and Elizabeth I
Of the many sibling rivalries throughout the history of England’s feuding royal families, Mary I and Elizabeth I’s was one of the most fraught. Mary and Elizabeth were half-sisters, daughters of Henry VIII. England had shifted to Protestantism before Mary ascended to the throne, and as a devout Catholic, she attempted to return the country to Catholicism. However, with Elizabeth, a devout Protestant, in line for the throne behind her, this kept the sisters in a state of dispute throughout their lives.
Edwin and John Wilkes Booth
Long before the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 by John Wilkes Booth, he and his older brother Edwin were locked in a brutal sibling rivalry. The brothers were both aspiring actors and fought for the attention of their father, a famous Shakespearean performer at the time. When John Wilkes began supporting the Confederates, Edwin had him thrown out of their home for treason. Though Edwin was very famous for his acting talent at the time, his legacy has been overshadowed throughout history by his brother’s heinous crime.
Georgia and Ida O’Keeffe
Many know Georgia O’Keeffe’s famous paintings: striking works of flowers, landscapes, and bones. But few know that her sister, Ida O’Keeffe, was also an artist. Ida often showed her work under her middle name, Ten Eyck, to avoid comparison with Georgia. Georgia had married a well-known art dealer before her claim to fame and Ida had at one point stated that if she had married a man like him, she too would be famous. In 2019, an exhibition of Ida’s work was held at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts entitled Ida O’Keeffe: Escaping Georgia’s Shadow. continued on page 15

Eppie Lederer and Pauline Phillips
Better known in print as Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren, respectively, Eppie Lederer and Pauline Phillips were twin sisters who wrote competing high-profile advice columns (“Ask Ann Landers” and “Dear Abby”) starting in the 1950s. In 1958, Life magazine published an exposé entitled “Twin Lovelorn Advisers Torn Asunder by Success,” which featured “bitter exchanges” between the two. It is said that this sibling rivalry has been passed down even through the sisters’ children.
Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine
These two sisters and actors during Hollywood’s Golden Age were known rivals. As they rose to fame, both were nominated for Best Actress during the 1942 Academy Awards. Olivia was assumed to be the winner by many, but Joan famously went home with the Oscar. In a 1978 interview, Joan said, "You can divorce your sister as well as your husbands. I don’t see her at all and I don’t intend to…I got married first, got an Academy Award first, had a child first. If I die, she’ll be furious, because again I’ll have got there first!"

The Gift That Keeps On GivingSeattle Rep’s Endowment Provides Perpetual Support and Stabilityby Bruce Johnson, Chair, Seattle Repertory Theatre Foundation Board of Directors
Eighteen years ago, Seattle Rep announced a public campaign to increase the theater’s long-term financial stability by developing an endowment fund to provide ongoing support for productions, new work development, and youth and community programming. Today, that endowment is the reason why Seattle Rep continues to thrive and grow.
In 2001, following nearly two decades of balanced budgets and two successful capital campaigns, developing an endowment was the natural next step for Seattle Rep as it sought to parlay its momentum into a new millennium. Through an effort chaired by then-Trustees Chap Alvord and Janet True, nearly 200 donors contributed more than $15 million to the endowment, including leadership gifts from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Mary Davis Clapp Fund for New Works, the Bagley Wright Family Fund, the Kreielsheimer Foundation, The Norcliffe Foundation, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, Alta and Stan Barer, and Janet and Doug True. We remain grateful every day for their forward-thinking support.
Since that time, Seattle Rep’s endowment has been managed by the Seattle Repertory Theatre Foundation, a separate 509(a)(3) supporting organization with its own Board of Directors (please see page 3). The Foundation invests our endowment and, based on three-year average of investment returns, determines an annual distribution to support the theater. Seattle Rep’s endowment provides steady and stable funding for the theater’s annual operations, ensuring that we continue to thrive and vigorously pursue our mission regardless of vicissitudes of the broader economy.
Indeed, over the years the endowment has seen Seattle Rep through thick and thin, providing essential operating support in times of need. In particular, this resource was a critical backstop for the theater’s annual operations following the economic downturn in 2008, as ticket sales and contributions
fell off sharply. Thanks to above-and-beyond distributions authorized by the Board of the
Seattle Repertory Theatre Foundation, Seattle Rep was able to weather the Great
Recession even as so many other local arts organizations shrank or were forced to fold.
Today, as Seattle Rep continues to grow, we seek to grow our endowment
accordingly. If you are considering how to maximize the impact of your philanthropy,
we hope that you will keep a gift toward Seattle Rep’s endowment in mind. Invested over the long
term, your gift can have lasting results—providing us with the flexibility to keep innovating and pursuing ambitious projects, strengthening the sustainability of our annual operations, and protecting Seattle Rep in an unpredictable economic climate so that we can continue to put theater at the heart of public life for generations to come.

Tony Award-Winning Revival
By August WilsonDirected by Ruben Santiago-Hudson
PREVIEWS BEGIN FEBRUARY 28!
In the 1970s, when licensed cabs refused to service Pittsburgh’s predominantly black Hill District, Jim Becker establishes a rideshare service to meet the needs of his community.

An emotional family reunion, generational conflict, and workplace gossip set the stage for drama as each man fights to prevail in the face of adversity.
