DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
A few years before I came to college,
I'd had a conversation with my father about a number of things in our lives that were changing.
The actual topics of the conversation are unimportant right now, but some of the advice
me:
“Never settle.”
m's quest is one that I think anyone can identify with: to find complete and ultimate fulfillment, and to live a life of extraordinary events and experiences. No one ever lives or dreams with the intention of compromising their aspirations, or immediately accepting that their lives will turn out to be anything less than they planned. Yet, ultimately, we have no choice but to give in, and accept that nothing will ever be enough. We can look for a thousand lifetimes, searching the world and the stars, always trying to find that one completely fulfilling moment, but it is a search that is doomed from the start. Not necessarily an optimistic worldview, but a realistic one, even for a guy who was told to “never settle.”
Luckily, with this cast and crew, I haven't had to.
I've had my pick of some of the most talented students at Rutgers for our players. Every member of the production crew has put every part of themselves into this, and the combination of a talented and dedicated cast and a fantastic crew culminates in what you will see tonight.
Sometimes, we all need to compromise. But only sometimes.
Sincerely,
Ivan Rushfield

PRODUCERS’ MESSAGE
Greetings Theatergoers!
On behalf of the Livingston Theatre Company, we would like to welcome you to inaugural show of our 2003-2004 Season, Stephen Schwartz's “Pippin!” This show has long been anticipated by members of the company as well as by our patrons, and we don't intend to disappoint!
Opening in 1972 at the Imperial Theatre, before moving to the Minskoff in 1977 towards the end of its run, “Pippin” was actually the first full musical by Stephen Schwartz (of “Godspell” fame), having only previously written a song called “Butterflies are Free” for a comedy of the same name. With a book by Roger O. Hirson and directed by the legendary Bob Fosse (whose choreography set the standard for every production that came afterward), the Tony- A ward-winning production featured such talents as Ben Vereen (who won the “Best Actor” Tony for his portrayal of “the Leading Player”), John Rubinstein, who played Pippin, and Irene Ryan as Berthe (who was nominated for a “Best Featured Actress” Tony, and was best known as “Granny” from the television series “The Beverly Hillbillies”). In all, the show was nominated for eleven Tony Awards and took home five, including two for Fosse: one for his direction, and another for his choreography.
We hope that you enjoy this long-awaited production of “Pippin,” and we would especially like to invite you to join us for our next production, the Cole Porter's classic 1 948 treatment of Shakespeare's “The Taming of the Shrew,” “Kiss Me, Kate,” which opens November 20th and runs through the 23rd.
Take care, and “join us!”
