G O O D S P E E D M U S I C A L S | 2 0 1 5 S E A S O N 25 PROGRAM NOTES By JOSHUA S. RITTER Goodspeed Education & Library Director In 1943, two hundred fortunate individuals received an unusual Christmas greeting by mail, in the form of a short story entitled “The Greatest Gift” by Philip Van Doren Stern. It was a simple yet profound story about a mysterious stranger who encounters a suicidal man on Christmas Eve. The despondent man is offered the “gift” of knowing what his town would be like if he had never existed. Despite being an authoritative Civil War historian, editor, and biographer, Stern had trouble finding a magazine publisher who would purchase his story. As a result, he decided to publish it himself and send it to two hundred of his closest friend, including his agent, Shirley Collier, who subsequently sold the story to the film production company RKO. Thereafter, RKO recruited the talents of Dalton Trumbo, Clifford Odets, and Marc Connelly to pen a screenplay based on the story. However, RKO executives were unsatisfied with their work. They felt that their drafts strayed from the original concept too much and did not do justice to the original story. In desperation, RKO’s studio chief pitched Stern’s fable to celebrated director Frank Capra, who was in dire need of a first project for his newly incorporated Liberty Films. Upon reading “The Greatest Gift,” Capra wrote in his autobiography, “It was the story I had been looking for all my life!” Capra purchased “The Greatest Gift” from RKO for $50,000. The deal included the scripts by Trumbo, Connelly, and Odets. Capra hired Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich to write another draft of the screenplay that would more closely follow Stern’s story. Capra was both pleased with their work and the actors who were available to play central roles, such as James Stewart as George Bailey, Donna Reed as Mary Bailey, and Lionel Barrymore as Mr. Potter. When Capra previewed It’s a Wonderful Life to the press, he felt it was the greatest film he had ever made. In fact, he wrote in his autobiography that he thought it was the greatest film anybody had ever made. Despite Capra’s confidence in the film, it received mixed reviews when debuted to the press in 1946. The New York Times criticized it for being both overly-sentimental and portraying an illusory concept of life. The FBI even issued a 26 G O O D S P EED M U SI CALS | 2 0 1 5 SE ASON PROGRAM NOTES memo in 1947 accusing the film of containing subversive communist propaganda. After its general release in 1947, It’s a Wonderful Life recorded a loss of $525,000 at the box office. Despite these disappointments, the film won Capra a Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and it was nominated for five Academy Awards. To Capra’s surprise and delight, the film experienced resurgence in popularity decades later and became an undisputed classic holiday film. Most attribute this to the fact that the black and white version fell out of copyright and into the public domain. This allowed numerous TV networks to air it during the holidays. The public’s appreciation of the film held up and gradually increased over the years. The legendary Sheldon Harnick (Book and Lyrics) and Joe Raposo (Composer) dedicated ten years to collaborating on a musical theatre adaptation of the film, entitled A Wonderful Life. In 1986, an early version of the musical premiered at the University of Michigan. Unfortunately, a rights dispute and Raposo’s illness and premature death in 1989 delayed development of the show. Harnick continued working on A Wonderful Life after Raposo passed away. In 1990, Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey presented a staged reading of the work. Then, in 1991, Washington D.C.’s Arena Stage produced it professionally for the first time. In 2005, there was an Actors Fund benefit concert of A Wonderful Life at the Shubert Theatre in New York City. Most recently, Harnick made some changes to the script to A Wonderful Life in preparation for Goodspeed’s production. Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, with Donna Reed as Mary Bailey and Karolyn Grimes as Zuzu in the 1946 film It’s A Wonderful Life The basic moral at the heart of “The Greatest Gift”, It’s a Wonderful Life, and A Wonderful Life is that we are interconnected and important in ways we can never fully understand. These timeless works serve to remind us that it is impossible to calculate our impact on the lives of those around us. What’s more, the film and stage version add narrative elements that further convey what many consider the truly valuable things in life, such as sacrifice for the common good, community, friends, family, and love. They achieve this while immersing the audience in the nostalgia of traditional Christmas holidays, old-fashioned romance, post-war America, and the idealized ethos of small town USA. It’s no wonder countless families have made this timeless classic a holiday tradition. Director and award-winning playwright Michael Perlman makes his Goodspeed debut with this production of A Wonderful Life. Michael’s directing credits include such theatres as Cleveland Play House, Trinity Repertory Company, Kitchen Theatre Company, and Arvada Theater Center, to name a few. For A Wonderful Life, Pearlman collaborated with his team to weave the symbolism of windows, snow globes, and the style and nostalgia of Norman Rockwell paintings into the design of the show. Perlman endeavors for Goodspeed audiences to be part of the world of the show by making the Opera House essential to this particular production, so they will experience the magic of the show in a place that feels at once familiar and new. We hope you enjoy this heartwarming family musical that celebrates the power of love and the goodness in all of us. U PDIKE , K ELLY & S PELLACY, P.C.

Director and award-winning playwright Michael Perlman makes his Goodspeed debut with this production of A Wonderful Life. Michael’s directing credits include such theatres as Cleveland Play House, Trinity Repertory Company, Kitchen Theatre Company, and Arvada Theater Center, to name a few. For A Wonderful Life, Pearlman collaborated with his team to weave the symbolism of windows, snow globes, and the style and nostalgia of Norman Rockwell paintings into the design of the show. Perlman endeavors for Goodspeed audiences to be part of the world of the show by making the Opera House essential to this particular production, so they will experience the magic of the show in a place that feels at once familiar and new. We hope you enjoy this heartwarming family musical that celebrates the power of love and the goodness in all of us. U PDIKE , K ELLY & S PELLACY, P.C.

Under the direction of Michael Price from 1968 to 2014, Goodspeed transformed from a struggling entity into a non-profit arts organization with a mission. At first, Goodspeed’s commitment was to discover rarely produced musicals from the repertoire, reworking them and bringing them to life. It was also intent on adding to the repertoire by discovering and nurturing promising new musicals presented at its Norma Terris Theatre in neighboring Chester. In our history, we have produced over 250 musicals, including over 70 world premieres, and exported 20 productions to Broadway. Goodspeed stands as the first regional theatre in America to earn two special Tony Awards, one in 1980 for outstanding contributions to the American musical and a second in 1995 for distinguished achievement for a regional theatre. WHO WE ARE TODAY Goodspeed mounts both new and newly revived musicals each year on its main stage at the Opera House and on its second stage in Chester—a total of more than 400 performances during the April to December season, attracting 130,000 patrons to the Connecticut River Valley. It stands at the forefront of producing and preserving the American musical, simultaneously reinventing the classics and inventing new ones. It attracts well-known icons of the theatre world and fosters emerging talent among composers, lyricists, and librettists. Each year, thousands of actors, directors, choreographers, and technicians aspire to come to Goodspeed to practice their craft. Among millions who know and love this art form—and those who appreciate its history and enduring appeal—Goodspeed is widely recognized as “The Home of the American Musical.” Throughout the year and intensively during the winter months, Goodspeed addresses issues unique to the field by offering innovative and highly-sought after programs through its Max Showalter Center for Education in Musical Theatre, including the celebrated Arts Education Collaboration providing programs for underserved children and teens. The Festival of New Musicals features students from The Hartt School and the Boston Conservatory performing staged readings of three brand new musicals, industry-related seminars, a symposium and cabaret performances. Each winter, Goodspeed also hosts the Johnny Mercer Foundation Writers Colony that invites musical theatre writing teams to retreat from daily life for a four-week residency and concentrate solely on writing new musicals. In addition, Goodspeed serves as a resource for the preservation of the art form through its Scherer Library of Musical Theatre, the most extensive musical theatre research library in the United States. THE FUTURE WE ENVISION The Goodspeed campus will continue to serve as a thriving artist colony where the creative process informs the work on our stages and expanding educational programs. We aspire to serve as a safe haven where a singular commitment to discovery and innovation will enrich the field with the next generation of musical theatre artists. Did You Know?

Goodspeed, a shipping and banking magnate and avid theatre lover. Since that time, the Opera House has lived two lives: the first as a bustling center of commerce, housing a theatre, professional offices, steamboat passenger terminal, and a general store; and the second, after a period of neglect and deterioration, as a magnificent professional musical theatre fully restored in 1963 to its original splendor. Goodspeed’s history goes back to its opening night on October 24, 1877, when a repertory group presented the comedy Charles II and the farces Box and Cox and Turn Him Out. Featured performers of the day were brought to East Haddam by steamboat, many directly from theatres in New York. The Goodspeed Opera House in 1918 After William Goodspeed’s death, the theatre was eventually sold and used as a storage depot for the State Highway Department. The building was marked for demolition in 1958, but local preservationists became interested, and in 1959 The Goodspeed Opera House Foundation was organized to restore and reactivate the theatre. With the cooperation of the State of Connecticut and the support of donor-members, the Goodspeed Opera House was restored and rededicated on June 18, 1963 with the opening of the musical Oh Lady! Lady!! OUR MISSION The mission of Goodspeed Musicals is to be the leader in preserving and producing musical theatre of the highest quality by: • Rethinking, THE GOODSPEED OPERA HOUSE FOUNDATION restoring, and producing works that are valued and significant in the history of musical theatre; • Developing new musical theatre works; • Nurturing the talents of new composers, lyricists, and librettists; • Encouraging and developing the talents of artists, technicians, and administrators; • Inspiring future audiences through education programs and outreach efforts; • Preserving and expanding the archival collections of its Scherer Library of Musical Theatre and making them available for professional use; • Maintaining the Goodspeed Opera House, a national historic landmark.
