This season we celebrate the 30th anniversary of
Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater. Founded in 1985, WHAT
is the award-winning non-profit theater on Cape Cod
that the New York Times says brought “a new vigor for
theater on the Cape” and the Boston Globe says “is
a jewel in Massachusetts’ crown.” Boston Magazine

YEARS
Dear WHAT community:
This season is truly something to celebrate. Not only does it mark 30
years of professional quality theater for our audience, but it ushers in an
era of solidarity, direction and stability within the company.
In 2013 our total net ticket sales increased by 13%. Our total number
of individual tickets sold increased by 10%. During that calendar year,
nearly 3,000 new patrons crossed our threshold.
This is what happens when we all pull in the same direction. The
theater is sounder than it’s ever been, operating in the black for the first
time in many years, while partnering with local organizations and
offering more free programming than ever. The theater continues to
take seriously its role in the year-round community, providing facilities
and programming for not only summer visitors but year-round residents.
With all that said, we still have a very long way to go to support our
beautiful building, so the Board of Trustees recently adopted a $3.5
million Capitol Campaign to bring WHAT into a sustainable business
model. These funds go to support needed repairs and updating, the
replacement of the WHAT for Kids tent with a more suitable structure,
the reduction of our mortgages, and an endowment to partially fund a
scholarship program in honor of Julie Harris.
In addition to this commitment, last year we hired a strategic
consultant to help us map out a long range plan. The board is energized
by this opportunity to move forward, building on the history and
foundation we have earned. As a result, five year budgetary goals were
adopted, where a healthy financial outcome in 2019 has been
predicted.
The board was also happy to add to its membership this year with
four new trustees: Gerald Garnick, Kai Maristed, Michelle
McClennen and Donna Ward. We will continue to expand the board
this year, seeking professionals to volunteer their time in the areas of
marketing, fundraising, legal counsel and community outreach.
Finally, at the end of the day, “the play’s the thing.” We met with
critical success last year and have started this season with more
glowing reviews. During our entire history, one of our staunchest
supporters was Julie Harris, who generously gave of herself to the
theater community on the Cape and allowed us to name our stage after
her. We will be celebrating her life and legacy on Tuesday, July 29,
2014, with an over-the-top gala southern barbecue by director,
playwright and pitmaster, John Markus.
We hope you will join us then, and we thank you for joining us now.
We couldn’t do this without you.
Very truly yours,
Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater
Board of Trustees
“I am thrilled to know that
is growing, growing, growing
– and it makes my heart sing!”

“...an extraordinarily accurate knowledge of the market and comparative values,
plus a truly unique ability to match the right people with the right properties.”
“Quickly found us the perfect home and, unlike many Real Estate Brokers who disappear
after the closing, they have become an invaluable and ongoing resource for all our Cape
needs from skilled laborers to reputable merchants and great restaurants.”
“The entire staff at 3Harbors are top notch. You don’t really just work with one of them...the
rest of them are there in the background as support. There is no such thing as an unanswered
phone call or request. The very best part about working with the crew is their credibility. You
can expect honesty and integrity without disappointment.”
“...professional, prompt and attended to all of our questions and concerns. We felt that
working with someone who has direct knowledge of the local area was important.”
“Extremely helpful in buying a house on the Cape. Well versed in the market and connected
with many people who made the process easy. Using the right local connections
was an important part of the process.”
“Years of local experience have resulted in great knowledge of the Outer Cape market.”
“The entire office is aware of every transaction and is willing to help. Phone calls are responded
to quickly and communication is excellent. I always felt supported and in very good hands.
I cannot recommend 3Harbors Realty more highly.”

Relationships, community
and the future.
Jeffry George
Greetings Friends,
Welcome to Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater’s 30th
anniversary season of programming, paying tribute to
the wonderful Julie Harris. At her memorial service in
New York City many friends and colleagues took to the
stage to pay homage to this remarkable woman. Hal
Holbrook captured Julie in one statement – “Julie was
truth that walked across the stage.”
Julie’s relationship to Cape residents and to Cape Cod
Theater organizations was remarkable. So in preparing
for this season our goal was to emulate the truth that
Mr. Holbrook spoke of and to represent the effect of what
relationships can do to improve the human condition
much like Ms. Harris did for the Cape. Our four main
stage productions will give you the opportunity to think
about your own relationships and the effect they have
on the world around you. The Trials of Gertrude Moody
shows what human imprinting means and how the truths
we are told are believed. We then carry those beliefs into
our daily relationships with friends and family. I Am a
Camera helps us discover that relationships can get us
through the most difficult of times. The Fabulous
14
l Previous
what.org
Lipitones cements the fact that our relationships deepen
as we grow older and in so doing help us learn more
about ourselves. And in Period of Adjustment our
director, Michael Unger, points out that it takes four
tragically mismatched people to make harmony out of
their respective relationships.
So, after 30 years, it’s important to think about
WHAT’s relationship to the community and to ask the
question that the character Isabel asks in Period of
Adjustment – Where, oh where, are we going?
Here at WHAT over the years, our programming has
shed light on the environment, arts, and culture, as well
as the issues of mental health and drug abuse. We
continue to deepen our relationship with you and with
organizations like Mass Audubon, Harwich Junior
Theatre, SPAT and the Cape Cod Institute, addressing
some of the issues above.
Moving forward, we must continue to identify and
address the issues of deepest concern. After all, theater is
a vehicle for shedding light on the issues that affect us.
As an example of our programming meeting a need,
I am happy to announce that a play written by young
Boston playwright Mike Poe and Wellfleet Harbor Actors
Theater is currently in the works, providing a thought
provoking look at the issue of drug abuse here on Cape
Cod. We at WHAT hope to shine a light on this growing
problem and, in keeping with our mission, bring to the
forefront the issues that most seriously affect our lives.
We have discovered over the years that it’s our
relationship to you that propels us forward. We’ve learned
from you that we have the ability to open our doors to the
community, sharing our facility and our mission to better
serve the Outer Cape. Thank you for helping us to see,
after 30 years, where we can go from here.
Sincerely,
Jeffry George

An interview with
Jef Hall-Flavin
WHAT: How did you come upon this play and
what caught your interest?
Jef Hall-Flavin: I worked with Kimberly Burke on
a reading of one of her plays at the Playwright’s
Center in Minneapolis, where she was a
Jerome Fellow in 2006. She sent me Trudy and I
immediately fell in love… but it has taken eight
years to find a brave theater company with the
right sensibility to embrace the play. I’m thrilled
to be premiering it at WHAT.
What were you looking for when casting it?
JHF: The play is often simultaneously in the
present and the past, so I was looking for actors
with the ability to tell a story from a point of
view “outside” the confines of the scene, while
still inhabiting a character fully. In addition,
the actors have to be incredibly flexible to play
multiple characters, including themselves as
sock puppets. Finally, it’s a comedy, so I was
looking for actors with natural comic timing.
Is there a line you could share that gives us a
glimpse into the play?
JHF: One of the characters is a scientist, and
he tells us, “Altricial chicks, such as eagles and
cranes, observe their parent’s behavior and
model their own accordingly. This is called
imprinting. But if they are adopted by a human,
they will take on the behavior patterns of a
human.” This goes to the heart of the play.
We are all imprinted. We are all products of
what people tell us: from something as simple
as what we should and shouldn’t eat, to
something as complicated as the creation of
the world.
Can you shed some light on how the play
speaks to this day in age?
JHF: Amid the incongruity of a flightless parrot
turning into a famous fashion designer over the
course of 400 years lays a deeply philosophical
play. Trudy’s journey effortlessly and often
hilariously points at ideas about gender
norms, cultural boundaries, creation myths,
human trafficking, physical beauty, patriarchal
privilege, feminine identity, and, ultimately,
what it means to be human. To me, this is
the mark of a good play. It is why I go to the
theater: to explore ideas larger than my own,
and to be delighted while doing so.
An orphaned parrot raised by humans
becomes an international fashion icon.

inanimate objects have been used. Imprinting

has been studied extensively only in birds,
but a comparable form of learning apparently
takes place among many mammals and some
fishes and insects. Ducklings and chicks, which
can imprint in a few hours, lose receptivity to
imprinting stimuli within 30 hours of hatching.

TRIBUTE TO JULIE
As she pursues her own theater career,
Ruby Wolf keeps a signed photo taken with
Julie Harris on her desk. The photo was
taken at Cape Rep, where at age 15 Ruby
portrayed Frankie Addams in Member of the
Wedding – a role for which Julie had received
an Academy Award nomination.
When Julie attended a performance of Member
of the Wedding, they presented her with a
bouquet of flowers following the curtain calls.
In her inimitable fashion, Julie presented the
bouquet back to Ruby Wolf – a moment Ruby
cites as a crystalizing moment in her career
path. “She was so gracious to me – and to
many - and a wonderful influence on the
theater community on Cape Cod,” Ruby says.
“That interaction was so significant in my
life - her support and the determination she
instilled. We joke that I’m stalking her career,
but I can’t imagine a better career to shadow.
She’s a reminder of what this all means.”
Ruby is Jewish, with family that died in the
Holocaust. “That area of history is
fascinating to me,” she says of
Weimar Germany.
“It was such a radical time. This is the
story of individual people, on the
precipice of one of the ugliest periods in
modern history. It’s a snapshot of a
moment in time.”

An interview with
Caitlin Langstaff
WHAT: Why is this play
important to the Outer
Cape, including our Jewish
community?
Caitlin Langstaff: This play is set
around 1930 in the city of Berlin
and so these characters have a
growing awareness that some sort
of change is taking place, some
more than others. The two Jewish
characters have a much better
20
idea of what is at stake and what
they need to do to survive. But
more than anything, this is a play
about relationships and how they
tangle and untangle while trying to
right themselves with who they are
and who they wish to become.
Can you share any specifics
on capturing the mood of
the play?
CL: What do we want to convey
with this rented room, this meeting
place where all the characters at
some point reveal themselves?
Watching these four newfound
l Previous
friends maneuver their way under
the roof of Fraulein Schneider, I
like the idea of things in the room
not always making sense, not so
easy to access a straight line. It’s
the unexpected journey that forces
them to look outside themselves.
We have what goes on inside
these walls and what goes on in
the street and so the window is
important; the sense of seeing and
hearing through a portal to the
outside world and its impending
danger. It is one more source of
voyeurism as is the camera or the

“The mood of
the play – the
establishment for
the audience of
what it felt like to
be living in Berlin
in 1930, and the
kind of life and

met there, then –
is its most
important quality.”

hungry writer looking for clues.
But inside we have four young
adults trying on new things, new
people, and personas. There is
something about being that age
when you have your freedom
to play and explore, feeling
somewhat immortal to then wake
up and realize who you are in
conjunction with the rest of the
world – and how much you need
more than yourself to survive.
Were you influenced by
other versions?
CL: No, I have never seen I Am
a Camera or Cabaret. I didn’t
want to be influenced by anything
theatrical. I did read The Berlin
Stories by Christopher Isherwood
for more detail. But as far as
influences no, I needed to meet
these people for the first time.
What were you looking for in
this cast?
CL: People I want to work with,
people I respect. I look for honest
work on stage. People I can
believe. Not so simple. I believe I
have found my ensemble cast that
will help lift this story off pages
written in 1951 and bring new
life, fresh desire and hope to the
stage.

WORLD PREMIERE
THE SURFSIDE SN
PS
AND THE GHOST OF
GREAT ISLAND
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY Stephen Russell
An interview with playwright
Stephen Russell
WHAT: This is a bit of a departure
for you this year, isn’t it?
Stephen Russell: It is. I’m usually
drawn to fairy tales and folklore for
my source material, but, believe it
or not, despite the seemingly
inexhaustible supply, I find it
increasingly difficult to find material
that (a) will be familiar to our
audience and (b) hasn’t already
been Disneyfied or otherwise done
to death and (c) can be made to
work on a stage in a tent and, (d)
most importantly, speaks to me on
the deep emotional level that I need
to have in order to create something
fresh and personally meaningful. So
doing something a little bit outside of
my comfort zone seemed right this
year. But really, it’s mostly just doing
what I always do – mining my
childhood for inspiration, so in that
sense it’s business as usual.
So I take it you were a big Hardy Boys fan
growing up?
SR: I was. And a lot of the books we had in the house
were hand-me-downs – books that had been bought
either for or by my Dad or my Uncle David in the late
‘20s and early ‘30s and then passed down from them
through each of my three older brothers and, finally,
to me. The Hardy Boys I grew up with still drove
roadsters and were very low tech. I loved the dialogue
and particularly the slang which was already a bit
archaic by the time I was reading the books in the late
‘50s and early ‘60s.
So why not just do a Hardy Boys play?
SR: I thought an original story would be a better vehicle
for bringing in some other elements that I wanted to
include, such as a more local setting, a bit of the times
of my own childhood and a little more humor which is
often conspicuously absent from the Hardy Boys books.
Beth - “Ghosts, robberies,
mysterious disappearances, trouble
in town, trouble at the harbor –”
Eleanor - “And this used to be
OPENS July 7 | CLOSES August 28
MONDAY-THURSDAY AT 7:30PM
such a quiet little town.”
Beth - “Guess it’s up to us to make
sure it is again.”
Eleanor - “Okay, but we don’t
have much time. I have to be home
by nine o’clock.”
Plus, I hoped that by introducing a pair of new
detectives I could get away from that commonly held
belief that only boys read the Hardy Boys and Nancy
Drew is just for girls.
So who are the Surfside Snoops?
SR: Well, my other inspiration for this year’s show was
the dynamic duo of Lucy Blood and Freya Rich who
have been with WHAT for Kids for the past two years.
They have an incredible chemistry on stage, as will be
attested to by anyone who saw them as the double fairy
Phyllida in 2012’s Sleeping Beauty. I thought it would be
great to create roles for them wherein they got to have
fun and solve crimes even though they’re younger than
either of the Hardys or Nancy Drew. Not only do they
not have a roadster to drive, they’re still years away
from even getting a learner’s permit, so, in a way they
have to be even more resourceful. Discovering just who
these characters, Eleanor and Beth, are has been a big
part of the fun of writing, and writing them for Lucy and
Freya has given me a lot to work with.
It’s the summer of 1961 and the intrepid
reappearance of a long dead

A NEW SOCIAL COMEDY WITH MUSIC
The Fabulous
Lipi tones
“Trust me. He’s
not one of you.”
“What do you
mean? He still has
his prostate?”
-The Fabulous Lipitones
An interview with
John Markus
WHAT: Do you see the stories we
tell as a catalyst for change?
John Markus: When we have
prejudice or we are set in our ways,
it’s because we’ve chosen to believe a
narrow set of truths. We would rather
go with what we know. It’s psychically
painful to go with what we don’t know.
A story can lead you gently into new
territory. If you find the story engaging
and you like the people and you identify
with their dilemma, you’ll travel places
you’ve never gone. I think change
happens when we see we don’t have
to be afraid of something different. That
our worst fears don’t come to fruition.
It’s a way to gently nudge people into
seeing new things, without being
26
worried about them.
Does comedy help people get there?
JM: If you can evoke laughter from
either recognition or surprise, you can
coax people into the journey you want
them to take. They will give you that.
An audience will allow you to take
them someplace if along the way you
deliver satisfying side posts. Comedy
gets you to that destination, of
recognizing something you may not
have thought about before. Acceptance
can come from giving people the
rewards of laughing at their journey.
How did your own community
frame your views?
JM: I grew up in the only Jewish
family in London, Ohio. I have a very
positive memory of my childhood,
but there was always a feeling of
“the other” that was subtle. Because
I came from a small town, what I
always wanted to recreate in my work
is the idea of community. You can
say that a subculture is a community,
within a larger community.

Playwrights John Markus and Mark St. Germain wrote together on the
Cosby Show, which Entertainment Weekly called “the biggest sitcom hit
on American television in the past 20 years” and “the show that changed
forever the way black families are portrayed on television.”
JM: I was a musician into my thirties.
I played in a polka band in Ohio and I
had a Dixieland band.
We called the woman who was my
babysitter where I grew up Grandma
Kaveney. When my mom and dad
wanted to go out on a Saturday night,
she’d ship us across the street to
Grandma Kaveney. Grandma Kaveney
made the best Johnny Marzetti – which
is ground beef casserole with elbow
macaroni. We weren’t allowed to have
our ground beef casserole until we
watched Lawrence Welk with her. I
came to love the show. The whole milieu
of the music and the time and the
craft of the musicianship. That was it. I
embarrass myself with my love of this.
As director, will you be making any
changes to this production?
JM: This is my debut as a director.
In television comedy, the head writer
hires the director and works with the
director. So I’ve never officially been
called one, but I’ve done it. The idea
of having my debut on your stage is
exciting. We have a chance to deepen
the characters and deepen their
relationships and put a little curlycue
on the froth of some of the comedy.
It’s all the training I had in television.
There’s opportunities to make it more
human and more real.
There’s
just one
problem.

Tennessee Williams

An Interview with
Michael Unger
WHAT: Can you speak to why
Tennessee Williams wrote a
comedy?
Michael Unger: Period of
Adjustment was written in response
to the comment of a Hollywood
columnist that said Williams’ plays
were always “plunging into the
sewers,” although there was also
apparently, “a rush of activity partly
induced by drugs.” Williams referred
to his life around this period as his
“stoned age.” But he also said, “I
would like to write a happy play for a
while. Maybe some day I will
suddenly become hilarious.”
Now, when Tennessee Williams
writes a comedy, it’s not exactly Noel
Coward. In fact, there is humor in all
of his plays, but the major thrust of
his more iconic works is disturbingly
dramatic. Arguably, he has flipped
the balance here – there’s a great
deal of humor in this play, but there
are also strong emotional moments
and complex Williams-ian
relationships. You will see familiar,
perhaps composite, characters
from his other plays; such as bits of
Brick and Blanche, some Alma and
Maggie, some Stanley, some Tom
and even Kilroy. With Williams, that
family tree is always fabulously rich.
Period of Adjustment is labeled as
a “serious comedy.” But none of it
is frivolous; Tennessee takes his
comedy very seriously.
In spite of Williams not being
30
known for writing laugh-a-minute
comedies, ironically, comedy was
formative for him as a writer. When
he was 24 and visiting his grandparents
in Memphis (near to where this play
is set), he read a Chekhov play at
the library and said, “The laughter
enchanted me. Then and there, the
theater and I found each other for
better and for worse. I know it’s the
only thing that saved my life.” This
inspired his first play. Chekhov
is not Neil Simon either – but
the drama does not hold up
without exposing the foibles,
insecurities and foolishness;
ergo, the comedy – holding
the playwright’s mirror up
to these individuals – and
perhaps, to us as well.
What did we feel we
were losing as a society
and what were we trying
to hold onto in the 1950s
and ‘60s?
MU: The symbols in
this play are unabashedly
unsubtle. The house in which
the play takes place is literally
built atop a cavern and is slowly
plunging toward the center of the
earth. The honeymoon vehicle of the
newlyweds is a funeral limousine. In
fact, the subtitle of the play is “High
Point is Built on a Cavern.” The lives
and relationships of the characters
in this play are, literally, going down
the drain. America, as well as the
two men in the play, had just come
out of two wars: World War II and
the Korean War. To say nothing of
the McCarthy Era and a civil rights

This light-hearted story emulating the sign
of the times in the late 1950s brings together
two couples on a holiday evening.
A comedic departure for Tennessee Williams
paranoia, insecurities, missile gaps,
Betty Friedan’s Feminine Mystique
of “problems that have no name”
and lives replete with dissatisfaction
and compromise.
If you picture suburbia in 1958
through the lens of the above
sitcoms, you’re going to find not only
the world but also the “His and Her
Bed” relationships that Williams is
skewering. His story and the
comedy contribute to a hopeful
ending – but it takes four
tragically mismatched people
to make harmony out of these
two couples and the world of
High Point, Tennessee.
You mentioned that
these characters have
elements of other, more
iconic Tennessee
Williams characters that
came before. Can you
share some thoughts on
where he was in his career
when he wrote Period of
Adjustment?
MU: When Williams wrote
Period of Adjustment in 1958,
he was one-third of the way
through a prolific playwriting career
with eighty percent of his major hits
behind him. Williams had the very
human fear of not matching his
previous successes. His astounding
string of greatest plays preceded
this one: The Glass Menagerie, A
Streetcar Named Desire, Summer
and Smoke, The Rose Tattoo,
Camino Real, Cat On a Hot Tin
Roof, Orpheus Descending, Suddenly
Last Summer and Sweet Bird of
Youth. His next play, The Night of
the Iguana was another major work,
but the next 18 plays were, arguably,
minor by comparison. But what’s
“minor” for Tennessee Williams
would be major for any other. With
around 30 major, full-length plays, a
couple of hits would put any
playwright in the major leagues.
Playwrights such as William Inge,
Arthur Miller, Sam Shepard, Edward
Albee, David Mamet, and Tony
Kushner cite Williams as a major
influence which puts his DNA in the
next generation of great playwrights.
Williams’ heightened and poetic
prose must also, at least in part,
have set the stage for writers such as
Adrienne Kennedy, Suzan-Lori Parks,
and Anna Deavere Smith as well.
Not surprisingly, Tony Kushner
said it best in a 2006 interview at the
University of Texas, Austin:
“Williams, much more than any
other American playwright,
succeeded in finding a poetic diction
for the stage. I immediately identified
with that ambition, with the desire to
write language that simultaneously
sounded like spontaneous utterance
but also had the voluptuousness in
daring, peculiarity, quirkiness, and
unapologetic imagistic density of
poetry. Also because it is a written
language, the tension between
artifice, naturalism, and spontaneity
in art has always been exciting to
me. I felt that I experienced it really
viscerally in terms of American playwriting first in Tennessee’s writing.”

In the front of the playbill, Michael and Susan Karchmer are listed as Company Photographers,
because “production photos, company photos, emergency headshots, photographic marketing images
and outreach by Michael and Suz” wouldn’t fit. Besides, it still doesn’t encompass what they do for us.
This is the third season Michael and Suz have been with the theater. They attend rehearsals, set up
promotional shots for advance pr, provide high resolution photographs for newspapers and magazines, and
answer myriad calls for random requests throughout the year. They do this in partial darkness, within a
constantly shifting time frame, with unfailing grace and generosity. No matter what we request, they always
show up with smiles and a warm heart.

An Interview with
Michael Unger
Design • Maintenance • Construction • Stonework • Conservation
Continued from page 31
Perhaps Williams, himself, should be allowed to add,
as he explained to his literary agent, Audrey Wood, “I
have only one major theme for my work, which is the
destructive impact of society on the non-conformist
individual.”
Even though those writers he influenced had careers
on the rise as Williams’ was on the decline, he
continued bravely to explore characters who exist on
the outskirts of society. Through these personalities he
never stopped exposing taboo subjects – often, and in
this case, the less attractive side of human intimacy.
The conventional, “DOMA-recognized” relationships
are a shambles, whether failing the test of five years
(as in the Bateses) or one day (as in the Haversticks).
The true, intuitive bonds seem to exist between the two
men and the two women – although both are based
on the fiction of, in the men’s case, the embellished
remembrance of things past (fighting wars together,
visiting houses of ill-repute) and the fantasized future of
becoming cowboys together (raising cattle in Texas); in
the women’s case, the automatic sisterly bond between
two lonely, needy, lingerie-sharing strangers. It is not
until the unlikely deus ex machina of Dorthea appears
that the impotence of both men (Ralph’s – professional,
George’s - sexual) dissolves. Balance is restored to the
relationships, if not the house, which will continue to
sink into its cavern.
Unlike many a Williams play, this one ends rather
happily – albeit no conventional comedy would leave
unanswered the largest questions of the play: Isabel’s,
“Where do we come from? Why? And where, oh where,
are we going?” Perhaps Williams did not know in what
direction his career was heading either – although his
letters indicate he was certain it was going the way of
the Bates house – south into a cavern. “I figure that
I have had my day in the Broadway theatre, and just
hope the money holds out as long as I do.” But how far
could (or should) a career descend after having soared
to the rarefied heights of this one? A difficult life filled
with emotional struggles, depression, drugs and
alcohol; to say nothing of a dubious autopsy report
including an overdose and choking on a bottle cap,
seems unjust payment for one who changed the way
plays in this country are written, read and experienced.
But, as no one taught us better than he, life is not
necessarily just – especially for those who live on the
fringe. Williams’ romanticism, poetic abstraction,
wisdom, demise and ultimate end tell the story of a
towering figure that only Williams, himself, could write.

Harris
Julie Harris touched the
Cape’s theaters in so many
ways.
From her presence as a member of the audience,
seated front row center, to her brilliant performances
at The Cape Playhouse, Monomoy Theatre, The
Falmouth Playhouse, Harwich Junior Theatre,
Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater and countless others,
she gave selflessly of her time, her talent and her
name to help theater on Cape Cod stay alive and
vibrant. At WHAT we are particularly honored that
she let us name a piece of our theater after her.
Alec Baldwin, with whom she appeared in Knots
Landing, praised her in a tribute on Huffington Post
stating that “Her voice was like rainfall. Her eyes
connected directly to and channeled the depths of
her powerful and tender heart. Her talent, a gift from
God.” On December 3, 2013 a memorial for Julie
was held at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater in New
York City. Rosemary Harris, Hal Holbrook, Joan Van
Ark, Bill Luce, Francesca James and many others all
took to the stage to give tribute to Julie, but it was
Hal Holbrook that described her talent best: Julie was
truth that walked across the stage.

WHAT for Kids
Rising to the occasion
What you see at WHAT for Kids is an original play
written and directed by Stephen Russell, performed by
novice and professional actors, and designed to entertain
the whole family.
What we see is an amazing amount of growth.
Our production interns, who do such a great job building
sets for the Julie Harris Stage, have an opportunity to take
the lead on designing what you see in the WHAT for Kids
tent. For instance, Anne Miggins designed costumes for Puss
in Boots as an intern, and then stayed to design costumes
for Daisy Crockett, Frontiersperson!, Sleeping Beauty and
several main stage productions. WHAT’s assistant technical
director, Jack Golden, built last year’s set as an intern.
Our stage manager, Pearl Kerber, started by passing
out programs as a volunteer one summer. This year, she
returns to WHAT for her sixth season, following a stage
management internship at the Denver Center Theater
Company (part of the Denver Center for Performing Arts).
“I believe that stage managing WHAT for Kids shows for
multiple seasons has helped me become more independent
as a stage manager and has given me more confidence in
my work,” she said. “Without working for WHAT for Kids, I
would not be where I am today in my theater career.”
On stage, you will see familiar faces from year to year,
as well as a few new ones. “I like the tidal nature of the
program,” Stephen Russell says, “how people flow in and
flow out. It’s fun watching them grow with the company.”
Actors who have come through and moved on include
professional working actors Holly Erin McCarthy, Amanda
Collins, and Dakota Shepard.
The company performs 32 shows in July and August – a
commitment that trims down the number of people who show
up for auditions, which is fine since Stephen has a very clear
idea of what he’s looking for in his actors. “There’s a certain
kind of kid who responds to what we’re doing,” he said.
“It’s the quiet ones. The ones sitting in the corner reading a
book. Those kids really intrigue me and they often have this
untapped reservoir of talent that’s fun to bring out.”
The 32-show run allows the whole company to learn and
grow, Stephen concluded. “You get to go really deep with
it,” he said. “It helps you figure out what an audience is
going to want to see.”
New cast members join seasoned cast members, quickly
forming a close company. Some come back year after year,
but for many, there’s a natural progression to college or
other companies, taking the confidence instilled by a long
run of summer theater with them.
“Whatever they end up doing,” Stephen says of all
involved, “they tend to do well at it.”

Look for our stage manager, Pearl Kerber, at
Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, where she’s
spending her sixth summer as a nature day
camp teacher. Pearl graduated from Hobart
and William Smith College with a BA in
Environmental Studies and a double minor
in Theater and Arts & Education. She loves
spending summers working in both areas of
interest and hopes to continue to find that
balance year-round.

Dear Friends of WHAT,
While Cape Cod is special in so many ways, there are two things in particular
that inspired me to settle here: Community and the Arts. They are intricately
entwined as the arts are the thread of the soul that runs through a community.
It is a gift for me to be able to work with you to weave that thread as fundraising
is community-building.
For WHAT and the Outer Cape, it means bringing like-minded people together
to enjoy and be a part of professional theater, dance, opera, music and
community forums. We want to ensure that all have a home in Wellfleet in a
venue like no other on the Cape and that we have the resources necessary to
survive and eventually thrive.
All of us at WHAT thank you for being here, for buying a ticket, for
volunteering, for attending a benefit, for sending in your annual gift. We have
seen many accomplishments over the last two years. The number of tickets
sold has increased by 10%, numbers of attending students has increased
by 14% and last year we had a grand total of 2,700 new patrons in the theater.
With all that, ticket revenue is still less than 30% of our annual budget. WHAT’s
board and administration is working diligently to “up” that percentage while operating with rigorous fiscal responsibility.
However, WHAT exists because of you. Your financial support is vital and makes possible the following:
> a 30th season of live theater, accessible to thousands and employing over 100 professional and community actors,
designers and technicians from around the Cape and across the country;
> WHAT for Kids – a unique, multi-generational experience - kids seeing kids perform with professional actors of all
ages, with the power to transform lives;
> WHAT’s industry-credentialed internship program educating and training 10 emerging professionals annually;
> WHAT Lab – an intensive, off-season play development program, annually fostering new works for the American
theater, with public readings and talkbacks;
> our live Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on the big screen, annually serving nearly 3,000 from October to April with
the WHAT Bar and Café’s delicious and healthy lunches and snacks from 141 Bradford Natural Market;
> the Yule for Fuel series of holiday concerts bringing together over 50 local and regional artists with fuel companies
and community service organizations to provide families in need with fuel assistance;
> and year-round events, performances and live theater productions like The Hound of the Baskervilles, the Combo
Sabroso concert, and the environmental documentary film series and partnership with Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay
Wildlife Sanctuary...to name a few.
Theater brings us together, stimulates conversation and action, has the power to heal and impact lives. We believe that
our calendar of artistic programming improves the quality of life for people who live here and enhances the experience of
those who visit.
Won’t you join us for this wonderful journey and help keep regional theater alive and well at WHAT? Contact me today at
[email protected] or (508) 349-9428 x 102 and we will find a giving plan that best suits you. Alternatively, you can use
the pink envelope provided with this Playbill.
We are an integral part of this community because of you and
we thank you.
Gratefully,
Joanna Marie Roche

WHAT Internship Program
In December, six months prior to the start of the
summer season, we cast a wide net searching for
college students and emerging professionals who are
eager to deepen their education and sharpen their
theatrical and administrative skills in a professional
environment. During the summer WHAT hires ten
interns to work in all areas of the theater. We believe
that all thespians should be masters in their own field
and understand and support their co-workers in each
department. As such, all interns receive on the job
training in their field, plus cross-training from production
to administration and front-of-house. Their contribution
to the theater is immense, as is the work experience they
come away with.
In addition to their responsibilities as part of our
team, interns participate in entrance and exit interviews,
are required to keep a weekly journal and complete a
self-evaluation at the end of their experience. Interns
are also required to participate in weekly interactive
professional development seminars. Some of our
professional development topics include:
>
Creative Problem Solving: The Power of
Unconventional Thinking
> Creating ...Gertrude Moody: A Case Study on
Creating New Work
> Exploration of Three Dimensional Space:
Creating a Theatrical Environment
> God I Hope I Get It: Creating a Theatrical
Resume, Portfolio, and Headshot
> Crafting Light and Shadow: The Role of the
Lighting Designer
> What to do after WHAT: A conversation with
former interns on taking that next step
> Taking the Show on the Road: The Logistics of
a Touring Production

“We volunteer regularly at
WHAT because we believe
we have a responsibility to
support the things we value.
And, we know that WHAT adds
significantly to the richness of
life here in our communities.”
- Dick & Val Rand, Volunteer Coordinators
The
COMPANY
You Keep
Our volunteers have
learned their lines and
landed their roles. And
what a cast they are!
One of the best things about volunteering at WHAT
(besides the free tickets and the knowledge that you’re
an indispensable part of the team) is meeting the other
volunteers. We round out our staff with some of the most
interesting people in town. Our volunteers do more than
what you see when you come to the theater. They are our
ambassadors to the community, and the inspiration for a
lot of what we do.
They have lived all over the country, and the world –
including the United Kingdom, Germany, Central Asia, and
Afghanistan. One has travelled to six continents – with only

us since we opened. One recalls having supper with Julie
Harris at a reading we hosted years ago.
They are professors, artists, musicians, librarians,
psychologists – the list goes on and on. When they’re not
here, they’re busy singing with the Outer Cape Chorale,
filling in as a dj on WOMR, or playing Caribbean steel

The Journey So Far...
The six original founders of WHAT – Gip Hoppe, Vicky Shepard, Kevin Rice, Dan Walker, Dick Morrill and
Laurie Swift – all met and became friends in 1982 while working for a Wellfleet based theater company called the
Outer Cape Performance Company. Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater was born in 1985, in the space next to the
iconic Uncle Frank’s Donut Shop.
In 2002, Stephen Russell, an actor with the company since 1987, began WHAT for Kids.
Having outgrown the stage at the harbor, WHAT added a new 220-seat theater on Route 6.
In June, 2007, the new building was dedicated, with its state-of-the-art Julie Harris Stage at its heart.
