A Note From The Executive & Artistic Director
Happy 40th Anniversary Season to he Warehouse heatre. It is a great pleasure
to be at the helm of he Warehouse heatre during this exciting time. We have
accomplished so much over the course of the last 40 years and there would be no way
for me to thank everyone who has had a part in the rich community that we have built,
but together we have created a theatre of which Greenville is proud.
his year we look back at all of our success but we also look forward to the next
40 years, and I am happy to lay out the business model that will launch us into the
future! It’s a business model built for longevity, addresses all mission directives and
will provide the highest professional and artistic quality theatre possible. It has three
integral parts that could stand on their own but together create a unique business
model for a small market professional theatre.
During our 2015-2016 season we’ll kick of our new Warehouse heatre Conservatory,
a tuition based 40+ week program drawing from the most talented early career
theatre professionals from across the state and nation. It bridges the gap between the
educational and the professional world. Too many young theatre artists receive little to
no training about the business of their discipline; we will ill that gap and prepare them
for their irst professional move.
In fact, we’ll provide their irst professional move. Our touring program grows every
year and will reach throughout South Carolina and the near reaches of North Carolina
and Georgia. he tours not only further the reach of our educational programming
but will also hire the graduates of our conservatory the season after they graduate. Tell
your representatives: we are creating an educational program that provably leads
to tax paying jobs in the ield, in the state!
If excellent professional preparation, networking while working with our guest artists
on the Main Stage and then a job when they graduate are not carrots enough to ensure
we attract the best, brightest we have something else. In 1989 he Warehouse heatre
became the irst professional theatre in South Carolina when it entered into a Small
Professional heatre agreement with Actors Equity Association. his year we have
once again entered into a Small Professional heatre agreement with Actors’ Equity
Association. his agreement helps us increase the professional and artistic quality of
what you see at he Warehouse but it also, and almost more importantly, will allow us
to ofer to our Conservatory students measurable movement towards the professional
credentials they wish to acquire.
We’ll still be doing all of the other programs that you have come to know and love,
a vibrant summer season with he Distracted Globe and our Upstate Shakespeare
Festival; our exciting and impactful educational programming including his Wooden
O, he Healthy Living Program; our Community Engagement activities which include
our Talk Backs, Pre-Show Talks, and our Warehouse heatre Forums and more.
he Warehouse is your Intense Intimate and Unexpected alternative for theatre of the
highest quality! hank you for being a part of our world and we hope you’ll be a big
part of the next 40!
hank you for coming to he heatre. Without you, we’d be an empty room.

Shedding Light on Dysfunctional Family Dynamics
In their book, Forgiving Our Parents, Forgiving Ourselves: Healing Adult Children
of Dysfunctional Families, David Stoop and James Masteller deine a “dysfunctional
family” as one in which “conlict, misbehavior, and often child neglect or abuse on
the part of individual parents occur continually and regularly, leading other members
to accommodate such actions. Children sometimes grow up in such families with
the understanding that such an arrangement is normal. Dysfunctional families are
primarily a result of co-dependent adults, and may also be afected by addictions, such
as substance abuse (alcohol, drugs, etc.), or sometimes an untreated mental illness.
Dysfunctional parents may emulate or over-correct from their own dysfunctional
parents.” Playwrights from time immemorial have dealt with this theme to one extent
or another. From Oedipus Rex to Hamlet to Long Day’s Journey Into Night to August:
Osage County, the theme of family conlict makes for compelling drama.
here are a number of common elements that surface in most dysfunctional families
that can be seen popping up like prairie dogs in August: Osage County. he matriarch,
Violet Weston, appears to singlehandedly exhibit at least three of these features
--- lack of empathy, inadequate or missing boundaries for self, and extreme rage. In
addition, Violet is partial to her eldest daughter, Barbara, while constantly berating
or ignoring her other two daughters, Ivy and Karen. Violet herself is a product of a
dysfunctional family where the vicious cycle seems to be perpetuated from generation
to generation. Another key behavior of dysfunctional families is extreme conlict
often brought about by change or stress. Coincidentally, most family brouhahas take
place across the same battleield --- the dining room table. In Act II’s charged family
dinner scene, the Westons step up to their respective plates loaded for bear. he late
comedian, George Carlin, once quipped, “he other night I ate at a real nice family
restaurant. Every table had an argument going.”
It is the Weston‘s youngest daughter, Karen, who evidences yet another common
dysfunctional family behavior --- denial. Barbara accuses her sister of enabling their
mother’s pill-popping habit by blocking out the past. In addition to overlooking her
mother’s addiction, Karen denies her iancé is a miscreant even when faced with
blatant evidence --- caught with his hand literally in her niece’s “cookie jar.” Often
denial is used as a protection device because the vulnerable party cannot risk being
hurt again. As Karen dons her protective armor, her sister Ivy retreats altogether.
Noted family psychiatrist, Murray Bowen, theorized that a two-person emotional
system is unstable in that it forms itself into a three-person system or triangle under
stress. his triangulation is often commonly exhibited in dysfunctional families where
substance abuse is prevalent. When her two sisters move away and leave Ivy as the
chief go-between for her feuding parents, she characteristically retreats into her own
secretive world where her parents have no say. Upon Beverly’s death, this triangular
house of cards collapses leaving Ivy in her mother’s ungrateful clutches. With
dysfunctional families, there are no winners, only battle-scarred warriors yearning to
be healed.

the rest of the cast of Showtime’s Homeland, for an “Outstanding Performance by an
Ensemble in a Drama Series” Screen Actors Guild Award.
He also wrote the screenplays of three ilms adapted from his own plays: Bug and

Education at The Warehouse Theatre
Education plays an important role in he Warehouse heatre’s service to the
community, and it is endlessly inspiring to work for an organization with leaders who
encourage exploration of the educational potential in every aspect of our operations.
Valuing education, living in the questions, nurturing mentoring relationships - all of
these attributes make for a vibrant organization - lexible and viable - an organization
with an outward focus towards contributing to the community in as many ways as
possible.
In 2012-13, Warehouse heatre teaching artists worked with over 3000 students, in
over 40 schools, and over 120 classrooms in the upstate (and one in the midlands, as
well!). WHT touring productions reached an audience of 3200 students and teachers.
Community engagement events accompanied each mainstage - and with the Forum
Series alone, we welcomed just over 270 people - from students to senior citizens- to
the theatre to discuss issues of importance to our community. WHT continues to
serve as a resource for theatre practitioners, and our 2nd annual Shakespeare Boot
Camp brought 43 actors together - from high schoolers to veteran professionals to
learn more about communicating the works of the world’s most renowned playwright.
We partnered with community organizations such as Bridges to a Brighter Future
and the Sterling Community Center, and with programs such as Greenville Health
Systems’ New Impact, using theatrical techniques and experiential learning to
encourage youth to explore issues of concern to them and to envision solutions.
It was a busy year, and we are proud of our work, and thankful for those who have
invested in education at WHT and have helped us build dynamic and relevant
programming which contributes to community dialogue, supports teachers in their
classrooms, raises the bar of artistic excellence for local actors, and encourages
young people to develop their imaginations, critical thinking skills, and collaborative
capacities. his year, with such a rich range of plays commemorating our 40th season, we are
challenging ourselves to deepen our commitment to our educational mission - to
reach out to more schools and organizations, to widen our reach with touring
productions, to provide ongoing opportunities for theatre practitioners to hone their
skills, and to encourage meaningful dialogue around complex issues.
Education as a lifelong pursuit, as a transformative force, rather than a ixed goal,
frames our mission at he Warehouse heatre. We hope you will take the opportunity
to experience the questions with us! Visit the education section of our website for
updates on programs for students, educators, AND community members. Please feel
free to contact me with questions or for more information!
