For 58 years, Milwaukee Repertory Theater has been providing the highest level of professional theater to Milwaukee and Wisconsin. With the start of the 2010/11 season, The Rep embarked on a new era. Award-winning international director Mark Clements was appointed as The Rep’s Artistic Director, joining Managing Director Dawn Helsing Wolters, who began her tenure in 2009. Mark’s inaugural season included Cabaret, the first full-scale musical to be mounted in the Quadracci Powerhouse, classic and new works that included World and American Premieres such as Liberace!

and Bombshells, and bold artistic collaborations. The Rep’s dynamic new leadership team is committed to broadening and deepening the audience experience and infusing all three Rep venues with exciting and energizing theater, including Rep Platforms exhibits in our lobbies and Late Nite series in the Stackner Cabaret.

Milwaukee Repertory Theater currently o�ers 12 productions: five in the Quadracci Powerhouse, two in the Stiemke Studio, four in the Stackner Cabaret and the annual revival of A Christmas Carol in the historic Pabst Theater. Additionally, with the start of last season, The Rep launched Rep Lab, a short-play festival featuring our own Artistic Intern Ensemble.

The Rep’s Education Department serves over 20,000 students annually with special performances and a variety of in-school workshops and residencies designed to build important life skills, as well as to engage, inspire and enrich. Under the artistic vision of Mark Clements, education programs are a central component to the work of The Rep. New initiatives have included: Resident Acting Company Members leading workshops; more than double the number of student matinees; new intensive behind-the-scenes Immersion Days; collaborations with area colleges and universities; Adult Acting Classes and a new Teen Council.

4Lombardi –

The year 2010 marked the fortieth anniversary of Vince Lombardi’s death. He died of colon cancer at Georgetown University Hospital on September 3, 1970, only eleven seasons after he had begun his incandescent run as the greatest professional football coach in history, a period during which his teams finished as champions five times. That he accomplished immortal status in barely a decade at the top is amazing enough, but there is something else about his life and death that is equally surprising. His players called him the Old Man, and that is the image the name Lombardi evokes — the quintessential father figure coach, staring at us, pushing us, with his squat build and square jaw, his professorial glasses and camel-hair coat, his gap-toothed smile and satchelful of expressions, real and mythical, about winning and the pursuit of excellence. Yet most fans who grew up watching him during the glory years of the Green Bay Packers are now older than Lombardi was when he died. The Old Man was gone at fifty-seven.

Four decades after his passing, Lombardi lives on, larger than his sport, while other great coaches of his era, from George Halas to Bear Bryant to Woody Hayes, recede with time, confined to the narrow world of football. Walk into the o�ce of an insurance salesman in Des Moines, a college financial o�cer in Richmond, a hockey team president in New Jersey, and there is the Lombardi credo, framed and hanging on the wall. The Lombardi bust at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton has the shiniest nose, touched more than any other by the faithful, the sporting equivalent of rubbing St. Peter’s foot in Rome. The ambition of every player and coach in the league is to be associated with his aura, to bask in the glow of the ultimate prize awarded to the Super Bowl champions — the Lombardi Trophy. Watch any NFL promotion on television and,

inevitably, there is the profile of Lombardi, the block of granite on the sidelines.

The title of this book was taken from a scene in Richard Ford’s novel Independence Day in which his main character, a former sportswriter named Frank

5 – Lombardi

Bascombe, makes a pit stop at the Vince Lombardi Service Area at exit 16W on the New Jersey Turnpike. The “Vince,” as Ford called it, then had a collection of Lombardi memorabilia from days when pride still mattered. Ford put the phrase inside parentheses, and I thought when I first read the passage that he intended it with a certain irony, a suspicion that he later confirmed when I asked him. That is the spirit in which I use it as well.

In examining Lombardi’s place in American life, one question resounds through the decades: Could the Old Man prevail in today’s world? Several myths have to be dealt with before that question can be considered rationally. The first is the myth of the innocent past. The past was never innocent. The essence

of human nature does not change. There were as many roustabouts, rabble-rousers, and cheaters in Lombardi’s era as there are today, and far more economic stratification and racism. The main di�erence is that the culture has changed, giving players more wealth, separating them more from the masses, providing them more temptations.

Next comes the myth of the most famous saying attributed to Lombardi: “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” He said it a few times, but it did not originate with him, nor did it reflect his philosophy. Another coach, Red Sanders, coined it decades before Lombardi came along, and it entered the broader public domain through a John Wayne movie in which it was uttered by a young actress, playing a tomboy daughter of a football coach, who is talking to a social worker played by Donna Reed; not exactly the most macho setting. To Lombardi, it was the pursuit of excellence that mattered most. He was often harder on his teams when they played poorly but won than when they played well and lost.

And finally there is the myth of Lombardi’s leadership methods. It was Henry Jordan, a defensive tackle for the old Packers, who uttered the oft-repeated phrase “Lombardi treats us all alike, like dogs.” Memorable, but inaccurate. Lombardi was an adept psychologist who treated each of his players di�erently. He rode some mercilessly but stayed away from others, depending on how they responded. He did not mind oddballs — his teams were full of them — as long as they shared his will to excel. Lombardi was a Jesuit in his football instruction, as in most other things. Like Saint Ignatius of Loyola, he believed in free will, that each man was at liberty to choose between action and inaction, good and evil, the right play and the wrong play. He made things simple for his players by taking nothing for granted, repeating the same lessons to them over

Packers practicing.

6Lombardi –

and over, every day, every year. He would spend hours diagramming one play, the Packer Sweep, so that his players knew how to adjust to whatever defense the opposition might employ. The point of his repetition was a timeless idea that is as applicable in jazz and dance and writing and other art forms as in football — freedom through discipline.

All of this, Lombardi the teacher, the psychologist, the adapter, the philosopher, would serve him well in today’s world. The man and the myth are always at play in the Lombardi story, converging and separating. Many yearn for the Old Man out of a longing for something they fear has been irretrievably lost. Every time a player dances and points at himself after making a routine tackle, or a mediocre athlete and his agent hold out for millions, whenever it seems that individual ego has overtaken the concept of team, people wonder, mournfully, what Lombardi would say about it. Others think Lombardi represents something less romantic, a symbol of the American obsession with winning, a philosophy that if misapplied can have unfortunate consequences in sports, business, and life. The concerns on both sides are valid, but the stereotypes from which they arise are misleading. Lombardi was more complex and interesting than the myths surrounding him. These are the contradictions — the depth of a simple man, the imperfections of a perfectionist, the ambiguity of his meaning in American culture — that drove me as I researched this biography.

Judy Hansen, long-time Rep supporter, Board Member and Broadway Producer, is the new President of The Rep’s Board of Trustees. She follows Northwestern Mutual executive John Kordsmeier as Board President. This is the second time Judy has assumed this leadership role, having also served as Board President from 1995 – 98. It was that experience 15 years ago which inspired her to enroll into the prestigious Yale School of Drama in 2002 to learn more about non-profit theater management. She enrolled the first year as a Special Student

and then was invited back for a second year as a Research Fellow. At Yale School of Drama, she also taught classes in board governance to theater management students based on her real-world experience.

After her academic study at Yale, Judy had the opportunity to intern for two seasons with veteran Broadway Producer Jeffrey Richards. Through the internship she learned about the commercial side of theater. All these formative experiences led Judy, along with her sister Kit Seidel, to form their own Broadway producing company, JK Productions, four years ago. Since they went into business, they have produced many Broadway shows including: Talk Radio with Liev Schreiber; November with Nathan Lane; Race with James Spader; Blithe Spirit with Angela Lansberry; Speed-the-Plow; Merchant of Venice with Al Pacino; and Hair, for which they won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical in the 2008/09 Season.

Last summer, Judy and Kit remounted a commercial production of Hula Hoop Sha-Boop, a popular musical created for The Rep’s Stackner Cabaret in 1990. Working with the original creative team of Hula Hoop, they updated the script to create a re-tooled version of the original production. The show had a successful August run in the Stackner Cabaret. They are now shopping Hula Hoop to other markets for sit-down productions, as well as looking for licensing opportunities.

In 2008, when Artistic Director Joe Hanreddy announced that he would be leaving The Rep, Judy’s strong theatrical background made her uniquely qualified to head up the search committee to find The Rep’s next Artistic Director. She also sat on the committee to find The Rep’s Managing Director. She couldn’t be more pleased with the team they found. When asked why she wanted to be Board President a second time – a Rep first – she said “I’m very excited about the direction The Rep is heading under the leadership of Mark Clements and Dawn Helsing Wolters. The energy in the building and in the audience is phenomenal. We will continue to build and expand on the quality of the work that is being presented on the stage under Mark’s creative leadership and vision. I plan to continue what John Kordsmeier began under his leadership and build on the momentum we’ve created. We want to continue with artistic outreach, intensify our educational initiatives such as the Big Read program, as well as our community engagement efforts. I’m eager to begin our strategic planning process so we can lead The Rep into the future. I’m excited about what’s in store next.”

About the production of Lombardi you are about to see, Judy added, “After Kit and I saw Lombardi in New York, we thought this would be a great play for The Rep to do and we recommended it to Mark for this season. Eric Simonson is from Wisconsin; Vince Lombardi is a beloved Packer’s coach; the Green Bay Packers are the reigning Super Bowl champs – this couldn’t be a more perfect combination! For our production of Lombardi, we are working with the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation on a fundraiser on November 10th for their charity and Miller Lite is our public tailgating partner. We are delighted with the new partnerships between the theater, the community and The Rep Board of Trustees that are happening around this production.”

“I’m very excited about the direction The Rep is heading under the leadership of Mark Clements

and Dawn Helsing Wolters. The energy in the building and in the audience is phenomenal.”
