FROM THE INTERIM DEPARTMENT HEADAND MANAGING DIRECTOR

ation with a second phase of development on Emily Dendinger’s For the Falls, continuing the work that began earlier this year. Please be on the lookout for announcements of upcoming occasions when we will celebrate the play-wrights who have worked with us and the plays that have been devel-oped and produced here over these ten years as part of the High Desert program.

West Highland Way takes us on a literal trek through Scotland even as it charts another journey undertaken by a father and daughter, together and as individuals. Next up on the calendar is our holiday show, the popular musical, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, produced as part of our renewed commitment to musical theatre training as well as staging. How does the story of Drood end? You as audience will have a voice in answering that very question! Looking ahead, the new year starts off with Other Desert Cities, by Jon Robin Baitz, among the most compelling and widely pro-duced new plays of recent years. An American family must confront not only what happened to a son but how to respond to a daughter’s deter-mination to publish a memoir that accuses family members for what has allegedly taken place. We round out the season with what is often called William Shakespeare’s greatest comedy, Twelfth Night—so be ready for plenty of mistaken identity and more confusion between the sexes. Season tickets for this exciting lineup are available for purchase at the box office or through our web site. As a subscriber, you have the choice of performance day and seating, so by all means make your arrange-ments now to join us for a year of musical theatre, new plays, and Shake-speare—not to mention our ten-year anniversary of High Desert!

FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT

I was born in Madison, Wisconsin and moved to Honolulu, Hawaii when I was eight. Culture shock doesn’t even begin to describe the tectonic shift that occurred in my life. The experience had a profound influ-ence on my writing, as well. In all of my plays I endeavor to (figuratively) move my characters from Madi-son to Honolulu. I drop them in the middle of a situation that is decid-edly out of their element and watch who they become in their strange and peculiar new surroundings. I am interested in circumstances that drive characters to act from the most basic, instinctual, and primal part of their psyche. In my estimation, life is constantly vacillating (in the words of my favorite Billy Joel song) between sadness and euphoria, and in my writing I explore the everyday tragedies and triumphs that bring us to the depths and heights of these emotional chasms. In West Highland Way, Jane’s “Ha-waii” is a 95-mile trek in Scotland with her father, walking from Miln-gavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow, to Fort William, the capital of the West Highlands. While Jane em-barks on a very literally physical journey in the play, she also finds herself navigating the uneven ter-rain of the mind, grappling to recon-cile where she thought her life was heading with the uncertainty of changing course midstream.

-- Meridith Friedman

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

Dear Audience,

Welcome to West Highland Way.

The play…Our West Highland Way is a place you’ll find familiar, if you (like most of us) have ever encountered some unexpected turns (or giant boulders) along your path. The characters in this play are each, in different ways, at a juncture in life at which things have not gone according to plan. We meet them as they navigate a new way forward.

Our journey…This production is the culmination of playwright Meridith Friedman’s participa-tion in the High Desert Play Development program. It began in January, with a workshop and reading (directed by Claudia Billings) of an earlier draft of the play, which many of you had the opportunity to see. Meridith continued to develop the script, as the two of us collaborated dramaturgically over the summer, and further changes were made throughout the early stages of rehearsals this fall. The new play process is an exciting and unpredictable one, and I am grateful for the posi-tive, focused, flexible and playful spirit of everyone involved in this collaboration. I am delighted to share the very first production of West Highland Way with our ASTC/NMSU audiences.

My own personal connection…I hope you’ll excuse the personal side-note, but I would also like to dedicate my own work on this production to my father. Working on a play about a father/daughter relationship, while my own father tackles some frightening obstacles, has called my attention to how grateful I am for his presence in my life.

From here…Wishing you all people in your lives who help you past the moments that seem unnavigable, clarity about the ways you want to go, the humor to laugh past the times you fall on your face, and the courage and boldness to run even when you don’t have any idea where you’re headed.

Hope you enjoy the play, track its progress in the world, and come back for work-shops of more brand new plays as a part of our High Desert program.

Sincerely,Larissa LuryDirector and Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts

ABOUT THE HIGH DESERT PLAY PROGRAM

We are delighted this season to be marking the ten-year anniversary of a very special program that began at NMSU Theatre Arts in 2004-05 as an idea for collaborating directly with active playwrights and developing new work for the stage. The High Desert program grew from a conviction that we as a department should not only work with emerging dramatists nationwide but could produce their new plays on our main stage.

The plan that began ten years ago was to identify and invite a selection of twenty or so writers on the verge of a national reputation to submit work for consideration. From all of the scripts received in a given cycle, two would then be selected for a week or more of workshop development dur-ing which time the writer would be in residence to collaborate with actors, director, and dramaturg, culminating with a public reading and a talk-back session afterward. The plan, ideally, was for one of those two plays to be fully produced in our regular season.

The first year of workshops featured The Nature of Mutation by John Walch and Spin, by Penny Penniston – and John’s play was later per-formed as part of the 2006-07 season at the Hershel Zohn Theatre. In subsequent years, Matt Casarino’s Pixie, Carol Carpenter’s Sweet Sweet Spirit, and now Meridith Friedman’s West Highland Way have been fully mounted at Hershel Zohn and now the Center for the Arts. Please join us in celebrating the ten-year mark of High Desert and in welcoming more new play development in future years!

From the ASTC Board PresidentGreetings! Welcome to the 2014-2015 season of live theatre presented by the American Southwest Theatre Company (ASTC) at NMSU The-atre Arts. We are so fortunate to have live theatre of this quality to enrich our community. In case you missed the announcement, the Department of Theatre Arts production of The Misanthrope last season earned four nominations from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, making it one of the top shows in the region! Assistant professor Josh Chenard, who directed the play and submitted the production for adjudi-cation, indicated that “we are now in consideration to have this show as one of the five performed during the regional festival.” We won’t know un-til December if the play is selected for the festival, but it is a huge honor to be considered and is a real tribute to the quality of work that continues to be generated by NMSU Theatre Arts. Honors went not only to the produc-tion but also to individual students: Kaitlin Sikes for her costuming (she is now working on her MFA at the University of Virginia), and Irene Ryan Acting Award nominations for Austin Parrish, Joshua Horton, and Stepha-nie Vasquez-Fonseca.

This season will offer something for everybody; ranging from drama to comedy to the Tony-award winning musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which will offer audiences the opportunity to choose a new ending every night. If you are not a season ticket holder, we encourage you to purchase your season tickets now -- available for purchase through October 12, 2014.

Throughout the season, ASTC sponsors a variety of fundraisers. Fund-raising activities are vital to the NMSU Theatre Arts program: they support bringing in guest artists to work side-by-side with theatre majors in main stage productions and in providing outreach programs in the schools and community. Our first fundraiser this season will be the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” on November 1st—always a big hit! Please do watch for our other fundraisers this season.

We want to thank our many sponsors and donors and especially Dean Christa Slaton for providing all of the opening night receptions. We also encourage you to notice the many businesses that purchase ads in our playbill, which is another source of ASTC support. Thank you for joining us again this season and for supporting live theatre in Las Cruces!
