way, David’s enthusiastic, vibrant, and generous presence has been a remarkable gift to us all. Our expanded space and resources at the Center have allowed us to engage in a longer development process for Kung Fu that the scope of the project demands, and David has been an ideal collaborator as we continue to challenge and explore everything this Center has to offer. It is remarkable having these artists together under one roof and having them embrace the Center as a home to explore and create in concert with the work of their fellow playwrights. Thank you for joining us along the way, and we hope you will return as we continue building the Center and our community in the year ahead. I look forward to seeing you at the café, bookstore, and theatres in the months to come. Sincerely, JAMES HOUGHTON Founding Artistic Director, Signature Theatre It is remarkable having these artists together under one roof and having them embrace the Center as a home to explore and create in concert with the work of their fellow playwrights. far left: James Houghton and David Shiner left: Honoring David Henry Hwang above right: With Martha Clarke 46 6
