    Our 2010/2011 Season was ambitious, featuring five premieres of new works as well as two new adaptations of classics. Collectively, these productions provided stunning proof of the artistic breadth and variety for which the Goodman is noted, along with the quality and diversity that our state-of-the-art facility has helped us achieve over the past decade. I was particularly excited to welcome back three of my favorite collaborators—Manilow Resident Director Mary Zimmerman, Artistic Associate Regina Taylor and MacArthur “Genius” Grant–winning playwright Sarah Ruhl—and pleased to welcome playwright Thomas Bradshaw to the Goodman for the first time.

    The Albert Theatre season opened with Mary Zimmerman’s production of Candide, featuring Leonard Bernstein’s award-winning musical score. Mary’s unique artistry and an outstanding cast made this funny, insightful and richly theatrical work one of the major successes of the Chicago theater season, which was repeated with the production’s subsequent run at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC. Following Candide was our 33rd annual production of A Christmas Carol, expertly directed for the fifth year by William Brown.

    In mid-January we presented Regina Taylor’s newest work, The Trinity River Plays (co-produced with Dallas Theater Center), an emotionally riveting study of love, loss and remembrance that won an Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Award in 2010. Poetic and beautifully acted by an ensemble headed by the amazing Karen Aldridge, this was Regina’s most personal work to date and further established her as one of our premier playwrights.

    Next up in the Albert was God of Carnage, a theatrical rarity as a comedy that translates easily to a variety of cultures and countries. Yasmina Reza’s remarkable play is a searingly comic dissection of what is perhaps the most daunting

    activity on earth: parenting. The Goodman production, one of the most popular in our history, was brought to hilarious life by a skillful quartet of performers under the adept direction of Rick Snyder, on loan from his post as an ensemble member at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.

    In April we staged the world premiere of the Goodman-commissioned play Stage Kiss, Sarah Ruhl’s homage to the theater, romantic relation-ships and the often tenuous grasp that we all have on our own identities. Written with her trademark blend of humor, wisdom and human-ity, Stage Kiss reaffirmed Sarah’s position as one of the singularly gifted voices of contemporary American theater.

    We ended the Albert season with the world premiere of David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish, directed by Leigh Silverman and produced in association with The Public Theater. Few plays in recent years have delighted our audiences (and me) as much as this hilariously perceptive look at the evolution of cultural identity on both a national and a personal level, and few plays are, I believe, as relevant to the world in which we now live.

    The Owen Theatre season opened with my spare, intimate interpretation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, whose unforgettable characters reveal the passion and pathos of life. This new adaptation was brought to life by an ensemble of Chicago’s finest actors. Next was the world premiere of Mary, a Goodman-commissioned play by Prince Prize– and Guggenheim Fellowship–winning playwright Thomas Bradshaw in his Chicago debut. Inspired by a true story, Mary uses outrageous social satire to examine the pervasive nature of racism and homophobia in contemporary America. Deftly staged by May Adrales, the play inspired lively audience discussion throughout its run. Closing the Owen season was Tanya Saracho’s gripping

    El Nogalar (produced in collaboration with Teatro Vista), a play informed by Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard but grounded in the violence that currently dominates the US/Mexico border.

    The 2010/2011 Season also brought transitions in our Artistic Collective, as Frank Galati departed after a remarkable 24-year tenure, and play-wright Rebecca Gilman, a longtime Goodman collaborator whose Goodman premieres include Spinning into Butter, Boy Gets Girl and A True History of the Johnstown Flood, joined the group. This distinguished body of resident artists also includes Associate Producer Steve Scott, Resident Artistic Associate Henry Godinez, Resident Director Chuck Smith, Manilow Resident Director Mary Zimmerman and Artistic Associates Brian Dennehy and Regina Taylor.

    Much of the success of the Goodman depends on the craftspeople and administrative staff who work behind the scenes to create a home away from home that allows resident and visiting artists to flourish and turn out their best work. Many thanks to my business partner, Roche Schulfer, who supports the artistic vision of the theater while working tirelessly with our governing boards, and to our General Manager Peter Calibraro, whose leadership and expertise secures its financial future.

    Our season of premieres was a satisfying way to both celebrate our 10th anniversary on Dearborn Street and explore —through myriad dramatic styles and voices—the power of live theater to entertain, provoke, reassure and enlighten. As always, I thank you for your support and patron-age, and I look forward to seeing you next season.

    The 2010/2011 Season marked the Goodman’s 10th anniversary in our new home on Dearborn Street. Our artists, boards and staff worked exceedingly hard to make it our most exciting season to date.

    In the 2010/2011 Season, the Goodman:

    ◆ Produced five world premieres, four by artists of color, and two new adaptations of classic works;

    ◆ For the December 31, 2010 production of A Christmas Carol, made every seat in the house available to the USO, Children’s Memorial Hospital, Ronald McDonald House Charities and other charitable organizations, inviting troops and their families as well as chronically ill children to take part in one of Chicago’s most cherished holiday events. Illinois Governor Pat Quinn stopped by to greet the audience;

    ◆ Produced the world premiere of Chinglish and celebrated its successful move to Broadway;

    ◆ Built on our 30+ year commitment to diversity by hosting a series of community events related to productions on our stages written and/or directed by women and artists of color;

    ◆ Led a group of Chicago arts and educational institutions to bring the Belarus Free Theatre and their critically acclaimed production of Being Harold Pinter to Chicago;

    ◆ Started GeNarrations, a new six-week writing workshop for senior citizens drawing on themes raised by the Goodman’s mainstage productions;

    ◆ In November 2010, named former Mayor Richard Daley and Mrs. Maggie Daley Honorary Life Trustees at the re-dedication of the Goodman Theatre Complex and

    ◆ Announced that nearly $10 million has been raised toward the theater’s Endowing Excellence Campaign.

    These are only some of the highlights from an exciting season. During Patricia Cox’s final year as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, we continued to advance our mission to make the Goodman the premier cultural organization in Chicago and to provide a nurturing environ-ment for artists and theater professionals. With Patricia’s help, the Goodman’s 10th Anniversary Celebration generated a groundswell of support from longstanding donors and a record number of new supporters. Her leadership was inspirational and her focus admirable.

    The season’s success is also due in large part to the unending dedication and generosity of our Board of Trustees and Women’s Board, as well as the hard work and talent of the Goodman’s senior staff: General Manager Peter Calibraro, Associate Producer Steve Scott, Director of Development Dorlisa Martin, Director of Education and Community Engagement Willa Taylor, Director of Marketing and Public Relations Lori Kleinerman, Production Manager Scott Conn and Publicity Director Denise Schneider. I also must thank Bob Falls and all of our Artistic Associates for their inspiring and visionary leadership.

    We could not do what we do without the tremendous support of our audiences, donors and volunteers. Thank you. We hope you enjoyed the season as much as we did and we look for-ward to seeing you next year.

    Because of you, our “Decade on Dearborn” season was a smash!

    As Chairman of Goodman Theatre, I am proud to share our Annual Report from the 2010/2011 Season—our 10th year on Dearborn Street, and 85th season overall— including the wonderful productions, artists and audiences who contrib-uted to its success. To mark the occasion, Artistic Director Robert Falls and Executive Director Roche Schulfer delivered a signature nine-play line-up of a size and scope possible only at the Goodman.

    We launched the celebratory season in the “best of all possible” ways, with a bold new adaptation of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide from Tony Award winner and Manilow Resident Director Mary Zimmerman. Following its critically-acclaimed extended run at the Goodman, Candide proceeded to delight audiences at Washington, DC’s Shakespeare Theatre Company, claiming numerous Jeff and Helen Hayes awards for excellence. Our Season Opening Celebration included a festive pre-show dinner at the Modern Wing of the Art Institute—the original site of Goodman Theatre—and a special tribute to Founding Chairman Stanley Freehling and Honorary President Lewis Manilow. Without their contributions, the Goodman would not be where it is today.

    Robert Falls’ spellbinding interpretation of The Seagull opened next, followed by our 33rd annual production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol—a cherished holiday tradition whose magic has won the hearts of more than 1 million Chicagoans over three decades.

    Five world-premiere productions in 2011 contributed to the impressive statistics we’ve amassed over the past decade, including 16 world premieres by artists of color, 20 premieres by female writers and the completion of August

    Wilson’s 20th Century Cycle. The new year began with The Trinity River Plays, Regina Taylor’s lyrical triptych, and Thomas Bradshaw’s provoca-tive Mary, followed by God of Carnage, a broad popular success, hot on the heels of its Broadway bow. Next, the Goodman was pleased to present Tanya Saracho’s moving El Nogalar, followed by Stage Kiss, the latest work from MacArthur Fellowship winner Sarah Ruhl. In addition, the world premiere of David Henry Hwang’s Broadway-bound Chinglish drew new audiences to the Goodman: more than one-third attended for the first time.

    To promote the Goodman during this exciting time we formed the 10th Anniversary Civic Committee, a diverse group of more than 65 corporate and civic leaders representative of Chicago’s multicul-tural landscape. Together they endorsed the Anniversary and helped to raise the Goodman’s visibility to an all-time high during the 2010/2011 Season. Our ticket sales and fundraising goals also reflected this increased national interest, reaching all-time highs in many areas.

    With our inaugural August Wilson Awards, we recognized those who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to advancing diversity at the theater: Life Trustees Peter C.B. Bynoe and María Bechily and Past Chairman Lester N. Coney, as well as JPMorgan Chase and The Joyce Foundation. We bestowed these awards at our fall Diversity Breakfast—a moving event in which we fondly remembered August Wilson as well as Irv Markin, whom we lost too soon.

    Aptly titled “One Enchanted Decade,” our May 21 black-tie Gala event featured Broadway superstar and Glee heartthrob Matthew Morrison, who brought the crowd to its feet with a memorable program of song and dance. We paid tribute to all of the Past Chairmen of Goodman Theatre’s Board of Directors, as well as our Honorary Chairman,

    Albert Goodman. All proceeds from the Goodman Gala, organized by the Woman’s Board, go to supporting our Education and Community Engagement programs, which are benchmarks for arts education across the country. “One Enchanted Decade” raised record-breaking amounts of support for our Student Subscription Series and General Theater Studies programs, as well as our other education initiatives.

    We have achieved so many milestones during the past decade in addition to the productions that light up our stages year after year. The Goodman has provided 3,000 jobs, sold 2 million tickets, paid $38 million to living artists and offered 4,500 performances over the past decade— reinforcing our position as the anchor of down-town’s Loop theater district. I would like to thank

    the Goodman’s talented and multi-faceted staff, from those who volunteer their time at the theater all the way to the senior leadership. All are driven by a passion for excellence and a love of what they do, and this creates a seamless and enjoyable experience for audiences and artists alike.

    None of this could have happened without the essential leadership and support of the Board of Trustees, the Women’s Board under President Joan Clifford, and the newly emergent Scenemakers Board under President Aaron Davidson. All of the Goodman’s Board members donated their time, resources and dedication to the theater, and were crucial to the success of the Goodman as a significant contributor to Chicago’s cultural scene during the past year, and every year.

    The Goodman’s core values of Quality, Diversity and Community have been our guiding principles during our past Decade on Dearborn, and will lead our decisions as we move into the future. It has been a pleasure to serve as Chairman of the Goodman Theatre Board of Trustees during this landmark occasion and I look forward to all the vibrant, thought-provoking productions and essential community engagement initiatives that are currently “in the wings” of the theater.

    Most sincerely,

    Patricia Cox Chairman, Board of Trustees

    The Goodman’s 2010/2011 Season included three exciting events planned and hosted by the Goodman Theatre Women’s Board, plus a very successful Women’s Board Annual Fund campaign led by Co-Chairs Linda Aylesworth and Mindy Berkson. In all, the Women’s Board projects raised $1.75 million for the theater. A portion of these funds was allocated to sponsor the world premiere production of Chinglish.

    On September 26 we launched the Goodman’s 10th anniversary on Dearborn Street with a Season Opening Celebration featuring Candide, directed by Manilow Resident Director Mary Zimmerman. The festivities included cocktails and dinner at the Modern Wing of the Art Institute, a special tribute to Founding Chairman Stanley Freehling and Honorary President Lewis Manilow, and a performance of Candide at the Goodman. Special thanks goes to Co-Chairs Carol Prins and John Hart, Vicki and Bill Hood and Susan and Bob Wislow for their leadership of this wonderful event.

    Our annual Fame Fantasy Food Adventure Auction was held on February 7 at The Peninsula Chicago.

    A special thank you goes to Women’s Board Auction Co-Chairs Mary Ann Everlove Clement and Stacy Devine, Trustee Chair Jaime Viteri, the Auction committee and auctioneers, and Trustees Leslie S. Hindman and Peter C.B. Bynoe for a very successful and entertaining evening.

    In celebration of the theater’s 10th anniversary on Dearborn Street, the annual Gala, “One Enchanted Decade,” was held on May 21 at the Goodman, followed by dinner and dancing at The Fairmont Chicago. Headlining the event was Matthew Morrison, from the hit TV series Glee. Not only was the event a fantastic party, it also raised funds to support the Goodman’s education and community engagement programs. Honorees that evening included Life Trustees and Past Chairmen James E. Annable, Sondra A. Healy, Deborah A. Bricker and Carol Prins; Past Chairmen Lester N. Coney and Shawn M. Donnelley; and Honorary Chairman and Life Trustee Albert Ivar Goodman. Thanks to the lead-ership of our Gala Co-Chairs Margaret Janus and Swati Mehta, it was a truly extraordinary evening.

    These events could not have occurred without the generous support of the individuals and corpora-tions who sponsored, contributed auction items, gave in-kind donations or services and attended as guests. For a complete listing of event spon-sors please see pages 24– 25. I would especially like to thank American Airlines, the Exclusive Airline of Goodman Theatre, for its tremendous support of the Auction and Gala Raffle.

    Finally, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the entire Women’s Board for its amazing work throughout the season. The Women’s Board plays an important role at Goodman Theatre, and its ongoing commitment and dedication is crucial to the theater’s success. It is a privilege to work with this exceptional group of women.

    Tony and MacArthur “Genius” Award–winning director Mary Zimmerman’s breathtaking new production of Candide was the theatrical event of the season. In addition to the music of Leonard Bernstein, Candide featured contribu-tions from some of the greatest lyricists of the twentieth century. In this racy musical satire, naive Candide is banished for romancing the Baron’s daughter, only to be plagued by a series of absurd hardships that challenge his optimistic outlook on life and love.

    A timeless holiday tradition, the Goodman’s production of A Christmas Carol celebrates the yuletide season by infusing Charles Dickens’ classic tale with a little bit of magic, as only the Goodman can. From amazing flying ghosts to a quiet little boy and his crutch, A Christmas Carol is filled with enough singing, dancing and enchant-ment to rejuvenate even the most disheartened of souls. Audiences delighted as the cast helped transform the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge through the course of one very memorable Christmas Eve.

    A co-production with Dallas Theater Center

    In The Trinity River Plays (Jarfly, Rain and Ghoststory), Regina Taylor explores the unique passages in one woman’s life journey. In Jarfly, Iris is determined to go to college and become a writer, while her rebellious cousin Jasmine has dropped out of high school to follow a path of self-destruc-tion. The cousins come to a crossroads when

    Jasmine draws Iris into the terrible secret she has been hiding since childhood. Rain was first seen as part of the Goodman’s 2009 New Stages Series. In the play, fiercely independent Iris has made a successful life for herself as a journalist in New York City—but when her marriage fails, she begins to unravel. In search of solace, Iris returns to her mother’s house in Texas, but her homecoming proves more confounding than consoling when her mother makes a shocking announcement. As long-buried family secrets come to light, Iris must face her past and make some difficult decisions about the future. In Ghoststory, Iris is surprised by a visit from her estranged husband, Frank, desperate for a reconciliation. But before this reconnection can be explored, she must confront and embrace the specters of her past that continue to haunt her present.

    In God of Carnage, Alan and Annette’s son hits Michael and Veronica’s son with a stick in a playground skirmish, and the two couples meet to discuss the problem over appetizers. What starts as a civilized get-together quickly devolves into a scrappy, laugh-out-loud confrontation that The New Yorker called “ninety minutes of sustained mayhem.” God of Carnage earned the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and three Tony awards, including Best Play.

    In this charming comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Award winner Sarah Ruhl, art imitates life — or is it the other way around? When ex-lovers He and She are thrown together as romantic leads in an outrageously dreadful melodrama, they quickly lose touch with reality as the story onstage begins to follow them offstage. Stage Kiss is a hilarious, off-beat fairy-tale about what happens when lovers share a stage kiss— or when actors share a real one.

    In Chinglish, a Midwestern American businessman desperately looking to score a lucrative contract for his family’s sign-making firm travels to the Chinese provincial capital of Guiyang, only to learn how much he doesn’t understand—his translators are unreliable, his Australian-born consultant may be a fraud, and he is captivated by a beautiful, seemingly supportive government official who talks the talk—but what is she saying, anyway?

    At the height of what Time magazine dubbed “AIDS hysteria” in 1983, college student David invites his boyfriend home to his parents’ house in Virginia where nothing has changed since the 1800s— including the slave quarters. Confronting hypocrisy and oppression with exhilarating wit, Bradshaw’s incendiary work was “likely to leave you speechless!” (The New York Times). Goodman Theatre and Thomas Bradshaw are the proud recipients of Prince Charitable Trusts’ Prince Prize for Commissioning Original Work for Mary.

    Maite and her daughters can’t stand the idea of losing their family’s land to developers, but their money—and their time— are running out. Despite warnings from her family and her friends, Maite ignores her declining fortune as ardently as she has ignored the social consequences of the Mexican Revolution. Set in present-day Northern Mexico, El Nogalar is a hilarious and poignant story about the choice between adapting to the changing world or getting left behind.

    In an unprecedented artistic event, Goodman Theatre invited Eastern Europe’s Belarus Free Theatre to Chicago for a limited engagement of Being Harold Pinter. Presented in partnership with Northwestern University, the League of Chicago Theatres and Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Being Harold Pinter arrived in Chicago on the heels of its sold-out engagement at New York’s Under the Radar Festival— in which the Belarus Free Theatre participated after its members narrowly escaped imprisonment in their homeland in December 2010.

    Hailed as “truly passionate, truly political theater [that] isn’t just admirable, it has virtues beyond its relevance and bravery” (The New York Times), Being Harold Pinter incorporates transcripts from Belarusian political prisoners with excerpts from Nobel Prize–winning playwright Harold Pinter’s lifetime of writings. Belarus Free Theatre created visually striking images with simple means and underscores the fierceness of Pinter’s words with the intense physicality of the actors. Being Harold Pinter blurred the boundaries between art and reality, delivering a poignant contemporary commentary on violence, oppression, freedom and human dignity.

    Re-Dedication CeremonyMonday, November 22, 2010 Goodman Theatre

    The Goodman held a ceremony with Mayor and Mrs. Richard M. Daley commemorating the theater’s “Decade on Dearborn.” The event began with a reading of the speech that August Wilson gave at the building’s inauguration in 2001 by a corps of Chicago actors including (Center picture, left to right) Regina Taylor, Steve Pickering, Ernest Perry, Jr., Henry Godinez, Mary Beth Fisher and Brian Dennehy. Goodman leadership then paid tribute to the visionaries who made the new theater a reality and specifically recognized the contributions of Richard and Maggie Daley by

    making them Honorary Trustees of the theater and dedicating a pair of theater seats in their names. Photo by Eric Y. Exit.
