APRIL 9 – 26, 2015 A Comedy in Thick Fog By Tim Firth Directed by Weylin Symes Featuring Jim Loutzenhiser*, Alexander Platt*, Brooks Reeves, and Brandon Whitehead* *DENOTES MEMBER OF ACTORS' EQUITY ASSOCIATION. SHOW SPONSOR FLAGSHIP SPONSORS DEAR FRIENDS, The moment I read Neville’s Island, I thought it would be a great fit for us. It’s silly, fun, and more than a bit dark. But I have to admit, a big part of the reason I included it in the season is the set. I often write in these letters about how important variety is to us and how much we strive to make sure that every time you come to Stoneham Theatre is different from the last time. Usually, that’s about the plays and musicals themselves, but sometimes it’s about variety in other ways: like using actors that haven’t been on our stage before (and, by the way, we have three of them in this show) or the scenery. In 15 seasons, we’ve never built a set like this. The challenge of creating an island on our stage, complete with water and a climbable tree, was just too tempting (and fun) to pass up.

Jason, our Technical Director, Tito, our Master Carpenter, and Brendan, our Carpenter, are the team that takes the plans provided by the designer (in this case, Chris Ostrom, who has designed lights and/or scenery for many of our shows) and turns them into the sets you see on our stage. From the beginning, we knew this one was a bit different from our typical sets, and Jason and Tito brought mock-ups of rock and tree treatments to our initial production meetings so that Chris and I could see what our options were. In addition to trying to make it all look as realistic as possible, we tested the treatments to see which would best withstand four actors climbing all over them. And then when we started rehearsing, we realized that re-creating the feeling of all the trees, rocks, and water in a rehearsal hall was also tricky. But through a combination of chairs, table, cubes, and imagination, we did our best until we were able to play with the real thing. There’s no doubt, this play presented all of us with a unique challenge. Hats off to our whole team for all their hard work in rising to that challenge. We think it really paid off. Enjoy the show!
