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.
We build our sets in our shop about a mile from the theatre. 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!

We are proud to announce the creation of the Kilty Encore
Legacy Society at Stoneham Theatre. The Society recognizes
those individuals who have made a planned gift (a financial
gift to the theatre which will come at the end of their life) to
leave a supportive legacy so professional theatre in Stoneham
can be enjoyed by patrons for many years to come.
The Society has been named in honor of Patricia A. Kilty,
dedicated supporter and a Guild founder, whose commitment
to Stoneham and the theatre has spanned decades. Pat has
indicated that she has remembered the theatre in her estate
planning and is proud to share that fact with theatre donors,
in hope that her participation will inspire others to make a
pledge to support the future of Stoneham Theatre.

STONEHAM THEATRE GUILD
A special thank you to the members of the Guild.
The Guild at Stoneham Theatre is a volunteer force over 300 members strong that supports the Theatre’s daily operations. It provides personnel to usher at over 225 performances each year, plus its members assist with hospitality for guest artists, fundraising events, and housing for visiting actors and directors.
Members of the Guild provide countless hours of service without which we would not be able to offer the quality theatre-going experience you’ve come to expect from Stoneham Theatre.
Guild members are a part of our Stoneham Theatre family and are invited to attend performances, special events, and cast parties throughout the year.

All tickets, memberships and workshop fees are non-refundable. Discounts or special offers must be mentioned at time of purchase, and multiple discounts cannot be combined; proper ID and/or verification of discount are required to redeem tickets. No retroactive discounts will be given. Schedules are subject to change. Tickets may be exchanged prior to the performance for a different performance of the same production for a fee of $5 per order (waived for members). Non-member orders are assessed a $2.50 per ticket handling fee in person or by phone and approximately $3.50 per ticket online (fees are charged on a sliding scale based on ticket price), which enables Stoneham Theatre to keep overall prices low and production values high. Senior, student (full-time student ID required) and Stoneham resident discounts apply to most performances, but not to VIP seating. Ask the Box Office, or check online for details.
