Romeo and Juliet
Artistic Director’s Welcome
Welcome to the 45th Season at the A.R.T.!
I have always wanted to direct a production of Romeo and Juliet. For years, the hate between the warring Capulets and Montagues felt dominant to me, and as a director, I found myself searching for the difference between these families that has resulted in their “ancient grudge.” But Shakespeare does not give us any details about this—in fact, all he tells us is that these two families are “both alike in dignity.” Re-reading the play in preparation for this process, a line Romeo says to Benvolio jumped out at me: “Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love.” It made me think: what if we didn’t look at Romeo and Juliet as a story about hate, but rather as a story about love?
One of the most inspiring collaborations I have ever had was with my colleague, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, when we worked together on Jagged Little Pill. I am thrilled to be partnering with him again as our choreographer and movement director for Romeo and Juliet. Together, we are collaborating with a creative team that includes a number of artists who are returning to the A.R.T.: Scenic Designer Amy Rubin (Gloria: A Life), Costume Designer Emilio Sosa (1776, ExtraOrdinary, The White Card, Father Comes Home From the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3), O.P.C., Witness Uganda, The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, Best of Both Worlds), Lighting Designer Jen Schriever (1776, Fingersmith, In the Body of the World), Sound Designer Daniel Lundberg (1776), and Hair, Wig, & Make-up designer J. Jared Janas (Jagged Little Pill, Father Comes Home from the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3), The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, The Tempest). We are excited to welcome Composer Alexandre Dai Castaing, who is making his A.R.T. debut.
In collaboration with our creative and Engagement teams, the A.R.T. develops an Essential Question for every production tha Wednesday, May 5, 2010 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21) Kenneth “Chip” W. CARRIER of Kalamazoo began living on Feb. 5, 1964, the son of Charles and Lois (LIGHTHALL) CARRIER. He grew into a man whose life was founded on a belief and love of God. From that foundation, he became a person whose heart was made of selfless dedication to his family and friends, whose character was centered on honoring the Lord, and whose passions and traits made him a joy to be around. He was a loving husband and on March 31, 2007, married his wife Stephanie GARNAAT who survives. Together, they raised their children, became firm members of Kalamazoo Missionary Church, and made it a point to live out every minute of the time that was given them. During that time, Chip also found the energy to help others in any way that he could. His house and home were always open to friends and family, and everyone was made to feel welcome there. He was a dedicated father who was never too busy to spend time laughing and playing with his children and though their time together was short, his influence in their lives will never be lost. As is stated in I Corinthians, “Love is patient, love is kind ... it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered and it keeps no record of wrongs ... yet it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.“ For Chip and Stephanie, truer words could not be spoken. They were there for each other in all moments, and their lives and actions were dedicated not to themselves, but to each other, and in everyway that was possible, they fulfilled those hallowed vows, “for better or worse.” John Eldrege wrote, “Those who have nothing can share nothing.” Chip had amazing gifts which he shared with everyone. He was a handy-man who could fix anything around the home from faucets to computers. He was an excellent cook, and meals that he Adalet, Begüm. "Index".
