Season Sponsors Baskerville 5 WELCOME of the major savings and benefits getting season tickets brings, it’s not too late. Just call our box office at 604.687.1644 and upgrade your ticket purchase to a subscription. September is the start of the season for many cultural organizations, and here at the Arts Club Theatre Company we approach our 53rd season with a sense of excitement: It is our 19th at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage; our 37th at the Granville Island Stage; our second at the Goldcorp Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre; and our 31st on tour. Our first 15 seasons were at our original home at 1181 Seymour Street, the intimate space in the former Gospel Hall which closed in 1991. Since then, we’ve searched for a space where we could do works that would best suit such intimacy, and that eventually led us to the new theatre on West 1st, south of Olympic Village, with the support of the City and other funders and individual donors. For the 53rd season we are presenting 15 different productions on our three stages, including four premieres, three productions on tour, and one special Brent Carver concert. It’s going to be an exciting year! It is with great joy we can also say that this new season has the largest base of subscribers we’ve ever seen at the Arts Club. Subscribers are the heart of our company and we thank them for their continued support. If you’re not yet a subscriber and haven’t taken advantage 6 Baskerville We’d also like to thank the large number of subscribers who are, or who have just become, donors to our charitable theatre company. Not only does your tax-deductible contribution bring you exclusive benefits and behind-the-scenes perks, it goes a long way to support not only the productions we do on stage and the local artists we employ; but also our community work, like the LEAP: Learn Early About Playwrights program; our youth training initiatives like the Musical Theatre Intensive; and our new year-round Creative Teen Theatre arts education program. Donations support our ongoing commissioning of new plays, with the Arts Club bringing over 100 new Canadian premieres to life in our 52-year history. So thank you donors—your support and loyalty to the Arts Club and the role we play in this community is very much appreciated. We also have many who are attending one of our shows for the first time. Welcome to the Arts Club and thank you for coming. We hope to see you at a production of ours again—at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, the Granville Island Stage, the Goldcorp Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre, or on tour throughout the province. Our 53rd season is now launched— enjoy! Bill Millerd, Artistic Managing Director Peter Cathie White, Executive Director ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S CIRCLE The Arts Club Theatre Company relies on your philanthropic support to ensure the strength and vitality of the company. As a non-profit arts organization, the Arts Club could not exist without the generosity of our individual donors. Ticket sales cover only a portion of our production costs, so we rely on community gifts to close the gap. Please consider joining us by becoming a member of the Artistic Director’s Circle today. Contact Rachael Lipetz, Manager of Individual Giving, at 604.687.5315, ext. 261, for more information. Visionary ($20,000+) Philip & Donna Bernard* Grant D.

Baskerville 7 ARTS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. Online, on mobile and at your doorstep. VANCOUVERSUN.COM 8 Baskerville A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR “There is no horror without imagination.” These are the words of Sherlock Holmes from A Study in Scarlet, Conan Doyle’s first novel portraying the famous detective. I’ve taken this to heart in my approach to Baskerville, by taking every opportunity to engage your imaginations. I remember watching a puppet show a few years back and, at a certain point, I forgot they were puppets and got completely lost in the story. There’s a strange thing that happens when you expose the pretence of theatre to this degree—it can actually make the characters and story seem more real. I think this happens because the audience has to crank up their imaginative engines and meet the story halfway. This type of imaginative workout can make us more open to ideas that, on the surface, are clearly not to be believed: mythical stories about a murderous hound on the moors of Devonshire. If your mind is already saying, “that puppet is real,” then unbelievable things can also be real. Ken Ludwig’s script is already inherently theatrical, with three of the actors playing 40 different characters—and it’s a farcical romp, no doubt—but the theatricality also serves to make the horror of the original story more possible because our imaginations are ignited by it. To that end, we’ve striven to bring you some real moments of theatre magic: some that will let you in on the trick, and others that, hopefully, will leave you wondering, “how did they do that?” even for a moment. And hopefully make you wonder, “is the Hound of the Baskervilles more than just a story?” Enjoy! —John Murphy Baskerville 9 A GREAT CITY CALLS FOR GREAT WORK ENVIRONMENTS cadillacfairview.com New Orleans. style. character.
