Sheila’s Day takes us across time

and space, using song and dance to
link the struggles of two young black
women on opposite sides of the world.
Though the play depicts important
events in the struggle for freedom in
both countries, we actually follow two
very ordinary women. Both try to make
their livings cleaning other people’s
homes, and it is from their profession
that the play gets its title: a “Sheila”
being a South African domestic
worker. One woman, Ruby Lee, is an
unwitting civil rights Zelig who finds
herself on Rosa Parks’ Montgomery
bus, at the infamous Woolworth lunch
counter and on the journey of the
Freedom Riders. Her South African
counterpart, Qedusizi Maphalala, lands
in prison after she is caught up in a
march on Pretoria protesting apartheid
restrictions on work and travel.
Shelia’s Day is a tribute to the woman who brought me into this
world, Sara Manala maNkosi Ndlovu, who single-handedly raised
me and my four siblings after my father had died. It is also a
tribute to all those women who raise their children and tell them
to become somebody against all odds. —Playwright Duma Ndlovu

 Michael Wilson Hana Sharif
Changes
Michael Wilson, Hartford Stage’s fourth artistic direc-
tor since its founding in 1963, has announced he will step
down as artistic director at the end of the 2010-2011 season,
his thirteenth with the company. “This is a decision I have
arrived at after much soul searching,” said Wilson, “ It is not
without conflict, however, and some sadness, as I have loved
calling Hartford Stage home, and making our theatre a home
for audiences, staff and other artists whose collaboration
has given me immense joy. Though I hope Hartford Stage
will always be my home, I feel that now is the time for me to
venture into uncharted waters, and for our theatre to have a
new artistic director as it approaches its sixth decade of creat-
ing distinctive works for the American theatre.”
Wilson leaves after launching the Tennessee Williams
Marathon, the Brand:NEW Festival of New Work, A
Christmas Carol, reinvigorating the education and commu-
nity engagement initiatives and helming the epic multi-
award winning The Orphans’ Home Cycle.

Jeremy B. Cohen
New Voices Fellow, has been named Associate Artistic
Director. She begins her new duties in August, filling the
position left by Jeremy B. Cohen. Cohen, who has led new
play development at Hartford Stage for the past six years,
was recently named the Producing Artistic Director of
the Playwright’s Center in Minneapolis, one of the most
prestigious centers of new play development in the country.
“Supporting playwrights in deep and meaningful ways, as
well as nurturing their new work, has been my passion for
the past 15 years,” said Cohen. “The opportunity to lead
such a nationally respected and influential organization in
the field is thrilling.” Longtime artistic collaborator Max
Williams, who made his MainStage directorial debut with
Dying City, will join the Artistic Department as Resident
Director, and will direct The 39 Steps this season.
Managing Director Michael Stotts, who has been
spearheading the theatre’s capital campaign efforts in its
two-phase renovation project, has renewed his contract
through the 2013–14 season, Hartford Stage’s fiftieth.
Horton Foote’s
The Orphans’ Home Cycle Honored
On May 8, Horton Foote’s three-part, nine-play The Orphans’ Home Cycle closed
after 285 performances at Hartford Stage and New York’s Signature Theatre
Company. Commissioned by Hartford Stage in 2007, The Orphans’ Home
Cycle is an epic chronicle of a family, unprecedented in scope and depth in the
American Theatre. The production, which began performances in Hartford on
September 3, 2009 before moving to New York in November, became one of the
most celebrated events of the theatrical season, garnering a host of awards.

Hartford Stage Breaks Ground on First Phase of
Governor M. Jodi Rell and other
dignitaries joined Hartford Stage staff,
board, artists and patrons for a May 26
ceremony to officially break ground on
the theatre’s renovation and expan-
sion. “The groundbreaking ceremony
was thrilling — the culmination of
the efforts of so many people over the
past several years, and a reminder that
there is still much work to be done,”
said Managing Director Michael Stotts.
This summer’s work is the first part
of a two-phase renovation and expansion
of the theatre’s Church Street facility.
Over the summer, phase one renova-
tions will address four priority areas:
• Accessibility improvements.
The stage floor will be raised to
make handicap seating more
accessible; ramps will no longer
be necessary to reach seats. A
stage-level dressing room will be
constructed to allow improved
accessibility for actors.
• Audience amenities. This will
include relocating and expand-
ing the public restroom facilities.
Restrooms will expand into space
in the MAT garage, the city-owned
parking facility adjacent to the
theatre, which in turn will allow
enlarged space in the theatre’s lower
8 StageNotes Online | July 2010
lobby to alleviate congestion. The
new restroom facilities will more
than double the number of stalls in
both the ladies’ and men’s rooms.
• Infrastructure improvements.
This initiative will include new
HVAC equipment to improve
comfort for patrons and artists.
Electrical systems will be cleaned
and refurbished, and the roof will
be repaired.
• Production enhancements.
This includes new theatre light-
ing equipment, a new theatre
audio system, and a dramatically
expanded trap room which will
allow floor openings anywhere on
the stage. The new trap system
will allow for easy conversion from
thrust to proscenium houses,
allowing for greater flexibility, more
artistic opportunities, and improved
sightlines for the audience.
“Our community, loyal audiences,
and extraordinary artists will enjoy a
theatre that is more accessible,” said
Artistic Director Michael Wilson. “The
improvements in our lighting and
sound systems, in our stage traps and
even our heating and cooling systems
will make Hartford Stage productions
even better and the experience of
seeing a show here more enjoyable.”
While phase one construction
is completed, the theatre is taking
up residence at Kingswood-Oxford
School in West Hartford. The Church
Street theatre will reopen October 7,
2010 with award-winning actors Kate
Mulgrew and John Douglas Thompson
starring in Shakespeare’s Antony &
Cleopatra, directed by Tina Landau.
The entire project is expected to
be finished by the fall of 2013, prior
to the celebration of the theatre’s 50th
Anniversary. Phase two is currently
scheduled to include expansion of the
lower and upper lobbies; renovation
of the theatre’s interior, including new
walls to improve acoustics; new theatre
seats; installation of an elevator to allow
even greater accessibility for patrons;
and new interior finishes throughout
the lower and upper lobbies.

 Rise to Cleopatra’s
Challenge
Keep Shakespeare
alive in Hartford!
Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra will welcome you back
home to our newly renovated Church Street theatre this
fall. All of us at Hartford Stage are thrilled to be re-opening
the theatre with one of Shakespeare’s greatest romantic
tragedies. But we need your help! Through the generosity
of the Katharine K. and Henry R. McLane Charitable Trust, we
are launching Cleopatra’s Challenge — a campaign to raise
$100,000 to support this production. Antony & Cleopatra is
one of Shakespeare’s largest and most expansive plays.
It would be impossible to produce this play were it not for the
generous support of the McLane Charitable Trust and you!

The McLane Charitable Trust has promised up to $50,000

to Hartford Stage if we can match it with your donation!
Any new or increased gift from the 2009-2010 season is
eligible to meet this challenge. This means, if you did not
give to the Annual Fund last season, your whole gift is eligible,
or if you give more than you did last year, the increased
amount will be eligible. In addition to other recognition, you
will receive a photo signed by our Cleopatra, Kate Mulgrew,
and our Antony, John Douglas Thompson. Look for more
details in your Annual Fund appeal this fall!

To donate to Cleopatra’s Challenge or to get more information,

please call or email Kera Jewett, Annual Fund Manager at
(860)520-7246 or kjewett@hartfordstage.org.
