As we continue our second season, we are excited to be making a great deal of progress, both on and off stage. 2 All In ProductionsДЈ A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD Thank you for coming out today to THE WILD PARTY to support All In Productions and local art. Here we have an opportunity to take a break from the madness and see the desires of the party through a wordless man. There is a lot of talking and wailing in this production. One of my favorite moments in this production is Jackie s Last Dance. When socializing, I will either be fighting to be the center of the room or remaining very calm, like Jackie, taking it all in and processing the activity around me. Always hungry for the morsels of life that are just out of reach. One of the greatest gifts to take away from this show is the ability to identify with at least one of it s characters. I also chose to direct this show because of the opportunity to direct so many different dynamic characters.

I didn t only choose The Wild Party because it made me feel uneasy. The Wild Party is a timeless story that emphasizes the importance of community. I find that to be more and more common, the less I remain a youngster. This would lead into a healthy conversation where I ask her why she didn t like The Wild Party, and I would give her the same advice about comfort that she once gave me. I think if she saw The Wild Party she would say the same thing she said after seeing my high school production of Brigadoon: well, Rob, you can t expect me to like every show. She is a huge fan of Oklahoma! and The Music Man. My mom always told me that I have to take comfort in being uncomfortable, because at the very least I could appreciate that I was growing. She would respond by sharing that one of her reasons was that it made her feel uneasy. She, too, was frequently asked why she chose to direct this show. The first time I stage managed, it was for a production of Phaedra s Love under the direction of Leda Hoffmann. And look at all the talented people that wanted to tell this story. The more we work on this production, the more I ask myself how could we not? It s sexy. I ve never been asked this question so frequently about any other show. In our first designer meeting, several of our designers asked why we chose this show. This show can survive without a lot of things, but not courage. We learn to build walls, stay within the lines and instinctively choose to refuse proposals.
