LEARNABOUTYOURTHEATER:
FUNFACTSABOUTTHEMAINSTAGE
Northern Stage is your regional non-profit LORT-D professional theater company
with a mission to change lives, one story at a time. We oer six productions as
part of our main stage season featuring talented artists from the Upper Valley and
across the country, many with Broadway, Regional, and National Tour credits. We
oer a uniquely broad range of programming for a theater of our size, from world
premieres to classics, comedies to dramas, musicals to straight plays. Read on to
learn some fun facts about our main stage productions from this season.
Oslo/Dear Elizabeth:
70% of designers at LORT Theaters
are male, except in Costumes where
70% of designers are female.*
Our productions of Oslo and Dear
Elizabeth bucked that trend; we
hired a female Scenic Designer
(almost 80% of Scenic Designers in
LORT Theaters are male) and a male
Costume Designer. In our 2018-19
Season, Northern Stage had a nearly
50/50 split between female and
male designers. As part of the BOLD Theater Women’s Leadership Circle and our
commitment to equity, Northern Stage strives to be an industry leader in hiring
practices.
Matilda The Musical:
While our musicals may feature a
lot of actors on stage each night
(Matilda The Musical had 26),
the number of people working
behind-the-scenes is much higher.
Matilda had 39 people on the
creative team and crew (18 of
whom were backstage or in the
stage manager’s booth for every
performance), not to mention the
additional 32 members of our administrative and production sta, who were not at
every performance but marketed the show, sold tickets, built the sets, contracted
the artists, sewed the costumes, and so much more.

Venus Rising:
Do you know how
a scenic design
becomes a reality
on stage? Scenic
Designers create
the design of a
production, from
the paint color
on the walls to the
furniture and set dressing you see on stage. Then a team of people come together
to bring that design to life. The Technical Director creates scale drawings and
oversees the building of major set pieces. The Scenic Charge Artist is responsible
for painting the set (like our incredible Birth of Venus portal). The Props Master
is responsible for furniture and finding or building hand props (for example, the
over 1500 books on the set of Venus Rising). All the departments work together to
create the spectacular visual presentation of a show, and the design to production
timeline is over 8 months per show.
Buyer & Cellar:
A one-man show may seem simple, but for
the actor performing every night, it can be an
exhausting experience that begins months in
advance. Our Director of Education Eric Love
performed in Buyer & Cellar 8 times a week and
described the preparation as “astronomical.”
Throughout January and February, he spent
2 hours a day doing text analysis, memorizing
lines, and researching Barbra Streisand’s
5-decade career. Eric also worked out daily
and maintained a strict diet to build stamina;
his discipline is an amazing lesson in theater
professionalism.
Once:
Northern Stage not only relies on our community for support, but also as a
collaborative partner. For our production of Once, every department worked with
other theaters, businesses, and members of the community. Our sound department
borrowed instruments from Hanover Strings. Our props department perused
Dartmouth’s extensive prop stock. Over 350 volunteer ushers will greet our
patrons as they enter the theater. Local musicians will perform in our lobby before
performances, highlighting the incredible talent in our region. Northern Stage is
grateful for our Upper Valley community and the incredible resources around us!

all of these in theaters around
the world, bequeathed to me
by others. A legacy gift to
Northern Stage is how I hope
to ‘pay forward’ the great
gifts of theater that have
been given to me.”
