A CANDIDE Conversation with Peter DuBois

Artistic Programs/Dramaturg Charles Haugland sat down recently with Artistic Director Peter DuBois in his South End home to discuss our upcoming 30th Anniversary Season. Over the course of the hour, Charles and Peter had a lively conversation about the season and their decision-making process behind each production.

Below, you'll find the first part of that conversation, in which Peter and Charles discuss the talented Mary Zimmerman and her acclaimed production of Candide, which kicks off our 30th Anniversary Season. Enjoy!




We'll be rolling out the rest of the conversation as we get closer to each production, so check back here for more of these behind-the-scenes scoops form our Artistic department!

The Making of CANDIDE

Contributed by Todd Williams



Enjoy this fun video of the build, rehearsals, set install, and performance of CANDIDE from our friends at The Goodman and Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC). The production was built and first produced at the Goodman, them moved to STC where they rehearsed it again and made a few adjustments. Now it's all been delivered to our production center on Huntington Ave where we've been making some alterations to the set so it fits in the smaller Boston University Theatre.

Here's what things look like as of today:

Ready for CANDIDE Rehearsals


Contributed by Todd Williams

The rehearsal hall is packed with Props for Candide - it's quite a sight! Enjoy the slide show.

Over the next few days the stage management staff will work with props to get the room organized, tape out the ground plan of the set on the floor, and otherwise get ready to start rehearsing. On Tuesday next week Music Director the new members of the cast will arrive to learn the music and choreography, the following week the entire cast will re-create the show working in the new folks (including locals Timothy John Smith and MaCaela Donovan) on our slightly revised groundplan. Mary Zimmerman has some ideas about a few adjustments to the show and we'll work those in too!
