Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Sticks and Bones by David Rabe, the third presentation in Season Five of THE PRIZE WINNERS—Interact Theatre Company’s fully staged reading series, presented in partnership with the Los Angeles Public Library’s LA MADE cultural enrichment program, celebrating five extraordinary plays that have each received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award® for Best Play, or both.

When I curate a season, I’m less interested in a single topic than in a shared human question. This year, that question is empathy—how it’s formed, how it fractures, and how incomplete it often is. Each of this season’s plays asks us to look again at people we think we understand and to recognize the limits of our assumptions.

In Sticks and Bones, David Rabe exposes how a culture skilled at comforting itself can be brutally unprepared to confront the damage it causes. The play reverberates today because it asks a question we are still struggling to answer: what do we owe those whose suffering disrupts our preferred version of normal—and what happens when we choose denial over responsibility?

Taken together, the five plays in this year's series invite us to stay curious, to listen generously, and to lean into connection—even when it challenges us. Thank you for being here, for your openness, and for your enthusiasm for this work. Your presence makes this possible, and we’re grateful to share this afternoon with you.

David Schaller

Stage Manager/ Assistant to the Director/ Dramaturg

DAVID SCHALLER Described by Disney management as “a creative powerhouse,” and “a Bellagio Fountain of creative ideas,” David’s work is distinguished by a unique mix of marketing and entertainment experience, and work that’s known for both its strategic insight and brilliant creative execution. David began his career as a theater director, working on Broadway for the multi-Tony Winning director Hal Prince, and in the UK for Academy Award winner David Puttnam. He then moved into marketing as a creative director at the great British design and marketing company Imagination, where he was a pioneer in the development of brand experience, and created events, exhibits and live shows for Ford, Lloyd’s of London, British Airways, and the British Government. Some of the spectacular and powerful projects he led included flying a geodesic dome into the air to reveal an exhibit for Ford, touring Sleeping Beauty’s Castle to the capital cities of Europe for Disney and staging a British Prime Minister’s live appearances in a landslide election win. He went on to establish Imagination’s New York office, winning a range of global clients, including Apple, Nike, Disney, Ford, Lincoln Mercury, and AT&T, for whom he created numerous shows and exhibits. David then joined Ammirati Puris Lintas, where he founded the first brand experience group at a global ad agency, doing brand strategy, retail design and major live events for Burger King, Four Seasons Hotels, Ameritech, Iridium, Wachovia Bank, Rover Cars, and MasterCard. He went on to start Brandnew, his own marketing consultancy, where he built a client list that included Disney, Ford, Apple, Cole Haan and match.com, offering a wide range of communications services from research and strategy to design development and implementation. Brandnew evolved into Garden Of Eden Entertainment, as many established entertainment companies were turning towards more highly interactive and immersive experiences. Since then, David has been the creative force behind an enormously adventurous range of immersive experiences. For Disney, he developed an array of innovative rides, parades, shows and attractions, including the original concepts for Star Wars: Gravity’s Edge, interactive entertainment for Avatar’s Pandora, and a full-length immersive and interactive version of Tim Burton’s Wonderland. David helped develop the master plan and the retail, restaurant and entertainment options for The Linq, the youth-oriented resort on the Las Vegas Strip, and designed proposals for the expansion of Elvis Presley’s Graceland. He created the hotel, retail, dining and entertainment offerings for a yet-to-be-realized Dubai theme park, based entirely on Arab legends, and has contributed concepts for various developments in Jeddah, and Makkah. His work has won numerous accolades. David’s script for Beyond All Boundaries, the central attraction at the National World War Two Museum, won multiple international awards. His work on Disney’s Gravity’s Edge won the Themed Entertainment Association’s Thea Award for Best Attraction. He wrote the opening ceremony for Diryah, the UNESCO World Heritage site in Saudi Arabia, which won the World’s Best Event Award at Cannes. He has also won major awards for graphic, exhibit, and trade show design, and was Artist-In-Residence at Walt Disney Imagineering. Recently, he contributed ideas for the launch of the Saudi Red Sea Project, and for the development of an immersive museum and light show at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. He also oversaw the creation of Walmart’s exhibit at the Consumer Electronics Show, where Walmart bested major tech companies to win the Most Innovative Award. He is currently completing the prototype for a series of revolutionary learning apps that combine the qualities of an inspiring teacher with the excitement of a hugely involving video game. Whatever the media, David’s work displays tremendous insight into what audiences want and what brands need to do, and how to connect the two in a dramatic and satisfying way. Above all, he is a storyteller, who brings a sense of human connection, emotional impact and real meaning to every project he undertakes. He is typically involved throughout the development process from initial research to the creation of the final product. In addition to the skills he brings to any project, he can call on a world-class team across an exceptional range of disciplines from leisure and retail to digital design, and every aspect of the brand experience.

HISTORY

In January of 1989, actor and director Barry Heins invited fifteen friends – all experienced stage actors homesick for the New York theatrical community – to a weekly play reading group held in a vacant apartment in Sherman Oaks. Before long, a pool of forty actors was involved in readings that consisted of everything from classic plays to new plays and screenplays. The quality of the work attracted other theatre professionals eager to collaborate. Directors came to hear plays, as well as playwrights and screenwriters who arranged to hear these talented actors breathe life into their new scripts. Ten months later, the group became the exclusive tenants of Theatre Exchange in North Hollywood, and Interact was born. On May 1, 1992, the company formally incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit theater.

Interact’s loyal and supportive audience has followed the company to various stages and venues in the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, and Downtown LA, enjoying more than forty full-scale productions of plays and musicals since its founding. Interact also presents high-quality free or low-cost community programming, such as its lauded summer arts education program for underserved youth, hundreds of workshops, fundraisers and special events, and, to date, over a thousand public play readings.

AWARDS

ITC has received 95 performance and production awards (175 nominations), including Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle, Ovation, Stage Raw, Garland, LA Weekly, Telly, and NAACP Awards.
