On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Revival Theatre Company’s eleventh season! Thank you for sharing our passion for musical theatre and joining us for what promises to be an unforgettable year.
Fresh off our triumphant tenth anniversary, our 2025-26 season opened with the regional premiere of Come From Away , which culminated in a sold-out run and added preformances, we are thrilled to continue our tradition of presenting both classic musicals and contemporary gems, including an Iowa premiere this fall. As Cedar Rapids’ professional theatre company, we remain dedicated to our mission of filling a unique artistic and audience need by showcasing exceptional local talent alongside professional actors from across the country. Now in our second decade, Revival Theatre Company is poised to deliver even more vibrant, high-quality musical theatre to our community.
None of this would be possible without you—our cherished audience— and the generous support of countless individual donors. If you enjoy your experience with RTC, we warmly invite you to become a season subscriber and consider supporting us as a donor. Your contributions help sustain the artistry and energy of our productions. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to CSPS, our valued partner and home to RTC’s offices. We look forward to deepening this collaboration as we continue to thrive as their resident theatre company.

One of the most exciting things I get to do each year is share what our programming is going to be. Our eleventh season is no different. We open with a new contemporary story about how we come together in a show of humanity when faced with tragedy and grief in the inspiring true story of Come From Away . From one of the greatest composers and lyricists of our time, Stephen Sondheim, we bring this rarely produced gem and one of my favorites, Merrily We Roll Along to the stage. A story about growing up. We close the season with a show that stands the test of time, an American classic that becomes more relevant with each passing decade in Fiddler on the Roof. We’ve also programmed an anticipated partnership with our friends at Orchestra Iowa with the Broadway Pops and our 3rd annual fundraiser will bring the house down with Shawndell Young and Alica Monee. We’ve seen a 50% increase in season subscriptions. What this tells us is our patrons know they can expect an exceptional experience when attending an RTC show.
Many individuals have worked hard since our founding to get us where we are today. Many of those believed in the dream Cameron Sullenberger and myself envisioned. I'm so pleased and grateful for the support from the board of directors, the guild, and staff who continue to help shape a strong future for RTC. If the past season was any indication of what RTC can do, imagine, with your support, what else could be in store.
Thank you for joining us this season. Cheers to endless dreams and thrilling musical experiences.

Considered the father of the modern musical, Stephen Sondheim's contributions to the field of musical theatre are as significant as any of his contemporaries. His artistic journey began in childhood and led to one of the most prolific writing careers in American theatre history. Notable Sondheim musicals and collaborations include West Side Story, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Sweeney Todd . He has received an Academy Award, Pulitzer Prize, and multiple Tony and Grammy Awards, but for all of his success over decades of work on Broadway and in Hollywood, his career faced some challenges and one major disappointment with the original production of Merrily We Roll Along
Sondheim collaborated with director Harold Prince for five major Broadway hits before the pair teamed up with book writer George Furth for Merrily We Roll Along , an adaptation of a play by the same name written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart in 1934. The Broadway production kept many of the key elements in place but revised the time period to follow the characters through the years 1957 to 1976. The cast was local, young, and relatively unknown, but the creative team believed the story would resonate with audiences, and with Broadway giants Sondheim and Prince collaborating once again, it seemed likely to be a hit.
When it began performances on Broadway, however, audience members were literally leaving their seats during the production's preview performances.
Many critics immediately disliked the show, citing confusion based on the backward recounting of the story and a lack of character recognition, which Prince tried to eliminating by dressing the cast in costumes with their character names printed on them. Despite a brilliant cast recording and some critics' belief that it was Sondheim's best work, the show closed after 52 previews and 16 regular performances - barely stretching to a two week run. It seemed ironic for the Broadway superstars writing about the successes and failures of Broadway superstars to then hit their own struggles in real life after so much acclaim.
Original Broadway cast members Jason Alexander, Liz Callaway, and Lonny Price decided to return to the story of how the musical was made in a documentary titled The Worst Best Thing That Ever Could Have Happened. Price, who played the original Charley Kringas, was deeply affected by the production's collapse and set out to share the story of the casting and rehearsal process as well as the fallout after the production's brief run. Some involved with the original production have since remarked that the expectations set for a SondheimPrince collaboration were high; perhaps some in the Broadway world were even rooting for their production to fail after such a long run of critical acclaim. But of primary concern was the issue of likability; audiences had trouble relating to Merrily We Roll Along 's protagonist, Franklin Shepard. From the show's opening Frank seems to be hurting those who should have been closest to him, mishandling his friendships, romantic and business relationships,
even living estranged from his son. Moving backwards through time, the audience was asked to piece together how Frank ended up disappointing so many people. Unfortunately by the time the curtain dropped, many audience members had given up on Frank; it was hard to care about him or the people in the world around him.
The Huntington Theatre Company will revive Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along under the direction of Maria Friedman, whose recent London production received the most five star reviews in London theatre history and accolades from audiences and critics alike. Of Friedman's work Sondheim remarked, "This production of Merrily We Roll Along is not only the best I've seen, but one of those rare instances where casting, direction, and show come together in perfect combination, resulting in the classic ideal of the sum being greater than the parts." Sondheim was fortunate enough to see a production of his work 40 years later that finally hit the mark, solving the very issues that plagued the original opening.
Today many of Sondheim's most successful shows remain at home on Broadway and regional theatres around the world, with recent productions of Sunday in the Park with George, Passion, and Sweeney Todd in New York and beyond.. At the age of 87, Sondheim continues to write. In the spring of 2015, Playbill published an article highlighting his upcoming musical collaboration with bookwriter David Ives on the new musical, Buñuel , based on two Spanish films with plots centered on an unusual evening for guests at a dinner party by the revolutionary filmmaker Luis Buñuel. The pair has been working on the piece since 2012 when the show was first announced, but is "coming along slowly" despite best efforts to complete it. Sondheim and Ives plan to workshop the piece before launching a full scale production at The Public Theater in New York City some time during the 2017-2018 season.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) cites the first satellite to orbit the Earth as the impetus leading to the administration's own existence. Russia, a political rival on the world stage, beat the United States in the quest to send an artificial satellite into orbit. On October 4, 1957, Sputnik I was launched successfully, orbiting the Earth continuously every 98 minutes, marking the beginning of the "space race" between the US and the USSR. This small machine, roughly the size of a beach ball and weighing less than 200 pounds, fundamentally changed the course of space exploration. The two countries were prompted to this particular rivalry by a mandate from the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) in 1952, which proposed a series of comprehensive tests to record global geophysical activities spanning between 1957 and 1958. This period, named the International Geophysical Year, predicted a high point of sunspot activity within an 11-year cycle. The following year, the US formed a national scientific committee to investigate aurora, airglow, cosmic rays, features of longitude and latitude, geomagnetism, glaciology, gravity, meteorology, and solar activity among many other points of interest, and while conducting this research, the US also began its quest to develop an orbiting satellite. In 1954, the ICSU decreed that satellites were necessary for the purpose of scientific research and exploration, so in 1955, the White House officially announced plans for the US's first launch. The USSR, however, was able to launch its own satellite first.
A major technical achievement for Russia and its space program, the Sputnik I satellite shocked the world and terrified the US. While the US Naval Research Laboratory had developed a comprehensive proposal, the USSR's actual launch was more impressive in size and scope. Tensions did not ease as Sputnik Il was launched the following November boasting a cargo which included a canine named
Laika. Fears began to circulate that the USSR now had not only a scientific edge but a military one as well. Did the capacity to catapult a dog into the heavens also mean the Russians were one step closer to accurately firing missiles at will towards any point on American soil? Public fury led to increased funding for space exploration and ignited political action.
Following the Sputnik success, American aerospace engineer Werner von Braun and his team began work on the Explorer Satellite project. On January 31, 1958, Explorer I was launched successfully into space. This satellite carried a small scientific payload that eventually discovered the magnetic radiation belts around the Earth. That same year, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, formally creating NASA as an agency dedicated to winning the space race.
Decisions handed down from the Supreme Court of the United States have lasting implications for the law of the land and often reflect or prompt cultural shifts. Roe v. Wade, the 1973 court case that made abortion legal in the US is perhaps the court's most well-known decision, inspired by a strong feminist movement and the sweeping sexual revolution of the 1960s. While the case has stood the test of time, the controversy surrounding the ruling has never subsided. The decision to terminate a pregnancy continues to be complicated for women who must make this choice in the midst of political, religious, and ethical debates.
The original lawsuit was filed by attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, two recent graduates of the University of Texas Law School. They brought a lawsuit on behalf of Norma L. McCorvey (Jane Roe) suggesting that Roe's constitutional rights were violated by the strict abortion ban. Roe's life was not endangered, but she did not have the funds necessary to travel outside of the state to obtain a legal and
safe abortion. In a Texas federal court, the lawsuit was filed against the Dallas County District Attorney, Henry Wade. The case made its way to the Supreme Court and was heard during the 1971-1972 court session.
The court ruled in a majority decision (7-2) that the widespread abortion bans were unconstitutional as they violated a person's right to privacy, and declared that the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual's "zone of privacy," which include major life events such as marriage, contraception, and raising children. States were forbidden from outlawing abortions during the first trimester of pregnancy and within the second and third trimesters restrictions allowed only with reasonable accommodations for the mother's health. Only in the third trimester of pregnancy would the court allow protections for the unborn fetus. Exceptions to abortion regulation were allowed at any point in time in order to protect the life of the mother. The state of Texas, among others, argued that lifting the abortion ban would encourage sexual promiscuity and was a health concern for the woman, but the court rejected both claims. The court also ruled that the opinion that a fetus is a person with rights was not a view held with a consensus and therefore protecting a fetus at the expense of a woman's right to terminate was unjustified.
As medical advances continue, issues of fetus "viability" (living outside of the mother's womb) become increasingly complex. In Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the court rejected the trimester schedule adopted by the Roe v. Wade case. The court affirmed the idea that viability was possible as early as 23-24 weeks of gestation. Critics of the original
Roe v. Wade decision who wish to ban abortion continue to argue that abortion is paramount to murder and any constitutional objection overlooks a fetus's rights as a human. Critics supporting abortion rights suggest that the original case was poorly argued and decided, which left the door open to further challenges legally and in the court of public opinion. The defenders of the decision maintain that Roe v. Wade protects a most basic right of privacy and personal liberty, clearly defined by the Constitution and perhaps the greatest achievement of the Supreme Court of the United States.
A primary conflict in Merrily We Roll Along centers around the production of Frank and Charley's show, Take a Left. Joe suggests that Frank, Charley, and Mary can maintain their artistic integrity by pushing their "political flop" forward, but first they need to find commercial success. Take a Left is once again sidetracked, but given the political and social times during which Merrily We Roll Along 's characters are
beginning their careers, it is not surprising that their deep convictions and political interests are evident in their work. As Frank and Beth decide to get married, they feel confident in their decision to start a family as the world is changing, because as they sing in "Bobby and Jackie and Jack," "Nixon lost" and the Kennedys were "bringing back style to the White House."
John F. Kennedy served as the 35th president of the United States, beating out Richard Nixon by a narrow margin. The first president of Irish Catholic descent, Kennedy served as president for only three years before he was assassinated in 1963. Kennedy's influence, however, on the Democratic Party and American history proved long-lasting. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard in 1940 before joining the US Naval Reserve. He served during World War I and received the Navy and Marine Corp Medal for Service. He was elected to Massachusetts 11° Congressional District in 1947 and successfully campaigned for United States Senate, where he served from 1953-1960. Kennedy, while serving as a senator, wrote Profiles in Courage which won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography. His military and intellectual accomplishments would help propel him into the White House in 1960.
While most Americans continue to name JFK as one of the greatest presidents of all time, experts contend that his tenure in the White House was not more successful than many others who served before and after him. He struggled through the Cold War, narrowly escaping a nuclear event during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which followed the failed attempt to oust communist dictator Fidel Castro. While a champion of the Civil Rights movement, he garnered little success in the way of legislation during his short time in office. His legacy, many historians contend, is the genius posturing of his wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the wake of his assassination.
Jacqueline Kennedy is one of the most popular First Ladies of all time, primarily because of her deep appreciation for art, fashion, and history, which she shared with the American people by opening the White House through a personally guided televised tour presented by CBS News. Jackie remarked, "I feel so strongly that the White House should have as fine a collection of American pictures as possible. It's so important... the setting in which the presidency is presented to the world to foreign visitors. The American people should be proud of it. We have such a great civilization. So many foreigners don't realize it. I think this house should be the place we see them best." The custom for presidents when retiring from the White House had been to take items and furnishings with them and when Jackie arrived, she was dismayed to discover that the White House was not bursting with fine art and antiques. She set out on a mission to restore the White House's interior with historically accurate design; she financed it (as the first $50,000 designated by the government for the project was spent almost immediately) by
creating a White House guide book sold to visitors and anyone interested in purchasing it. Jackie also pressed for legislation that designated the White House furnishings as property of the Smithsonian Institution, as the "People's House" needed to be protected and preserved.
Following her husband's untimely death, Jackie immediately went into preservation mode, this time for her family and JFK's legacy. Refusing to sneak out a back door and into hiding following the assassination of her husband in a Dallas motorcade, Jackie signaled that she would not be leaving the public eye without first setting the tone for her departure. A week after her husband was assassinated, Jackie sat down for an interview with Life magazine reporter Theodore H. White. She carefully dictated that the Kennedy's time in the White House should be named the "Camelot Era." Her effort to seal her husband's image as noble, righteous, and akin to royalty was largely successful. She would later ask President Johnson to name the new space center after her late husband and would play a large part in the creation of the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum, forever solidifying JFK's significance not only for his role in Massachusetts state politics, but nationally and internationally as well.
