Notes

The performance of October 22nd was labeled a "Family matinee," and it was performed in three acts.

The program featured the following note:
The Family Matinee of October 22 features "supertitles," a new system of projecting
translations of the Italian text, adapted and executed by Francesca Zambello and Jerry Sherk.

The costumes for that production were made possible by a much-appreciated grant from the Callison Foundation.
