WELCOME FROM OUR SPONSOR

SunTrust is proud to sponsor what may be the most exciting season yet of SunTrust Broadway at DPAC! Whether this is your first SunTrust Broadway visit, or you’re a long-time season member, we’re delighted to welcome you to this exciting performance.

SunTrust understands that that the arts are essential to the quality of life in the communities we serve. The performing arts in particular have the power to inspire, entertain, inform, thrill and unite us in a communal experience. We value our ongoing partnership with DPAC, which has proven to be an extraordinary artistic and economic force in our region, forever setting a high bar on quality that it meets and exceeds season after season.

Whether it’s enjoying our favorite Broadway shows or traveling the world, we all want to live our best lives. Helping people achieve financial confidence to live their best life is our purpose and passion at SunTrust.

Financial confidence is not about how much money you have; it’s about what you can do with what you have that counts.That is why we launched onUp, a movement to help everyone take a step toward financial confidence. Are you ready to feel financially confident and reach new heights? We encourage you to join the Movement at onUp.com and explore the tips, resources and games to launch your journey.

WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR As Durham’s mayor, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Durham Performing Arts Center as this nationally-renowned venue begins its twelfth season.

My wife and I have been season ticket holders in DPAC’s Broadway series since it opened in 2008, and like DPAC’s more than 4 million guests, I continue to marvel at the caliber of performances showcased in our great city. Each year just gets better and better. For example, a record-breaking 530,000 visitors walked the red carpet last year to attend award-winning musicals, such as HAMILTON, Dear Evan Hansen, and CATS, as well as sold-out concerts including Widespread Panic, Bob Dylan, and Jill Scott.

That’s not all. While providing entertainment that families can enjoy together is a top priority for DPAC, finding ways to involve those who may not otherwise enjoy all that the arts have to offer has become a special passion for this theater. Last year, DPAC implemented “DPAC for All,” a program that offers discounted tickets exclusively for Durham residents.

No doubt, the arts contribute to Durham’s sense of community.Your attendance enables DPAC to support other nonprofit arts groups, such as the Durham Arts Council and the Hayti Heritage Center. DPAC also cultivates the arts in education by arranging visits from touring cast members to local schools through Heart of the Arts, and not to mention donating hundreds of tickets each year to schools and local charities to use for auctions and fundraising. DPAC is constantly working to ensure that the arts touch many areas of Durham and, indeed, the entire Triangle community.

A visit to DPAC is an open invitation to experience Durham—from great awardwinning restaurants to shopping and culture. It’s as easy as parking and either walking, biking or taking the bus to downtown eateries, or taking a short drive to nearby malls, museums or historical sites.

You should know that both Durham and DPAC have strong track records: The City recently celebrated 150 years of serving our growing, diverse population, while in November DPAC marked over a decade of showcasing award-winning entertainment.

Thank you being a part of our history, present and future just by choosing DPAC and Durham. Now settle into your seats to enjoy your DPAC experience and an unforgettable show!

Sincerely,

Mayor Steve Schewel

Now Offering the IB Diploma Program!

Visit msr.org today!

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Welcome to DPAC! For 12 seasons now, I have had the opportunity to offer these greetings to DPAC’s guests; not only at our hit Broadway shows, but also our concert and comedy events, family shows and special events of all kinds.

Since opening in 2008, almost 4.5 million people have attended the 2,000+ events DPAC has hosted.

While those numbers might be impressive, what I am most proud of is our relationship with our guests. On page 14 of this program, you will find DPAC’s Guiding Principles.

I invite you to review these principles and know that they factor into everything we do at DPAC. Guest experience is so very important to us at DPAC. Before, during, and after your visit, our team is hard at work to make your visit and experience truly extraordinary.

Do you read our Know Before You Go emails?

We send these emails to best prepare our guests for their next event at DPAC, with show time reminders, parking and traffic information, and more.

Also important to the DPAC experience is our secret shopper program.This evaluation by an outside firm allows us to have an objective view of each and every stop on the DPAC customer journey, from entry to leaving DPAC after the end of the show.

Finally, our guests’ feedback is instrumental in continuing to deliver DPAC’s legendary red-carpet customer service, which is why we review each and every one of the 40,000 guest surveys we receive each season.

We do not always get it right, but when we miss an expectation or just make a mistake, we stop, step back and always do our best to make it right with our valued guests and customers.

Thank you for your support and for being here at this very special event. With your help and feedback, DPAC will always strive to meet the highest customer service standards among live entertainment venues in America.

Sincerely,

Bob Klaus General Manager

OUR THEATER FAMILY THE NEDERLANDER ORGANIZATION If you’ve ever attended a Broadway show in New York, chances are you may have been to one of DPAC’s sister theaters operated by its parent company,The Nederlander Organization. With nine of the largest venues in New York’s theater district, Nederlander theaters are host to some of Broadway’s biggest productions including the blockbuster musical Hamilton playing in Nederlander’s Richard Rodgers Theatre, Disney’s The Lion King in their Minskoff Theatre, and Wicked in their Gershwin Theatre. Other shows currently playing in Nederlander Theaters in New York include Tootsie The Musical and Waitress. New Broadway hits playing in the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, Nederlander, and Neil Simon Theatres will be announced soon.

For over five decades, the Nederlanders have been prolific producers and presenters of major theatrical productions. Under the leadership of President James L. Nederlander, the Nederlanders have built a national network of theaters including nine Broadway venues in New York: The Palace, The Brooks Atkinson, The Gershwin, The LuntFontanne, The Marquis, The Minskoff, The Nederlander, The Richard Rodgers, and The Neil Simon Theatres. Outside of New York, their venues include Broadway In Chicago at The CIBC Theatre, The James M.

HOWARD ASHMAN (Lyrics). Best known as the pivotal creative mind behind The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast (which is dedicated to “Our friend, Howard Ashman, who gave a Mermaid her voice and a Beast his soul…”), Ashman’s first love was theatre. He was a founder of Off Off-Broadway’s renowned WPA Theatre, where he conceived, wrote and directed the classic musical, Little Shop of Horrors as well as God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, (both music by Alan Menken). A new cast recording of Rosewater will be available this spring from Sh-K-Boom records.

In 1986, Ashman wrote and directed the Broadway musical Smile (music by Marvin Hamlisch).

Lamented as a lost treasure of the 1980’s theatre scene, Smile remains popular on high school and college campuses throughout the country. Ashman’s family is thrilled that Ashman and Menken’s original songs for Aladdin, some of which were cut in the making of the film — as well as portions of Ashman’s original film treatment — have been reinstated in the theatrical production.

Howard Ashman died in 1991 from complications of AIDS. For more information, please visit howardashman.com.

TIM RICE (Lyrics). Tim Rice has been writing lyrics for musical theatre and related enterprises for nearly 50 years. Born 1944, remembers cold UK winter of 1947. Credits include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita with Andrew Lloyd Webber; Aladdin, King David and Beauty and the Beast with Alan Menken; Chess with Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson; and The Lion King and Aida with Elton John. He has won numerous awards along the way, usually for the wrong things or for simply turning up. His latest musical opened in London in 2013, based on James Jones’ great novel From Here to Eternity, with music by Stuart Brayson. Annoyingly, it closed in 2014 but there have

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT From Battle Creek to Broadway : Meet the Booking Wizard Behind this Season’s Biggest Tours Happenstance. That’s how Jack Meyer, Vice President of Programming for the Nederlander Organization, describes how he became the booking wizard behind Broadway’s biggest tours.

“I think that, if anything, my story shows that there is no one clear road to where you want to be.”

Nederlander is one of the largest theater operators in the United States and runs 17 theaters nationwide, including DPAC, which it operates in partnership with Professional Facilities Management (PFM). In addition, the company owns nine Broadway theaters.

Gee, Officer Krupke But growing up in Battle Creek, Michigan, Meyer’s only connection to Broadway was through his parents’ record collection, which included cast recordings of Jesus Christ Superstar and West Side Story.

“I used to act out the entire Officer Krupke scene [from West Side Story] in the basement.

At recess in elementary school, my friend Fritz and I used to swing on the swing set and sing at the top of our lungs ‘Oh, What a Beautiful Morning’ from Oklahoma too. So, I must have had some sort of propensity toward theater in hindsight.”

But Meyer says he had no aspirations of pursuing a career in the theater. That prospect didn’t even cross his mind. In fact, he didn’t see his first professional theater production until he was in college at Michigan State.

“They had good student prices on tickets, and I kind of got hooked. I watched a lot of good touring shows.”

Ironically, he now works with many of the companies that produced the shows he saw back then. And although he doesn’t remember the name of that first production he saw in college, he does remember the last. It was the touring production of Les Misérables.

Meyer had two friends who were working on that production. He was hanging out with them on the tour bus one night when one of them asked him if he’d be interested in touring. That conversation led to Meyer landing his first job selling t-shirts and other merch on the fourth national tour of Cats.

“I got to see virtually every theater in the country and every city.”

36 L

The Wizard Behind the Red Curtain But after four years on the road as merchandising manager, Meyer settled down. In 2001, he started working with Nederlander. Based in New York, his job is to select, book, and route which Broadway shows will tour Nederlander’s venues. He is the one who determines the SunTrust Broadway series lineup at DPAC each season.

“I honestly feel like what audiences get to see around the country and at DPAC is equal in quality to what they would see on Broadway.”

We really try hard to put it together in a way that we’re presenting like a well-balanced meal,” he adds. “Not everyone is going to love everything, but I think there’s enough there for everyone to love something.”

The Room Where It Happens: Why We Do What We Do Meyer has been working with DPAC since its conception over a decade ago. He credits DPAC’s success to a combination of overwhelming community support and distinctive customer service.

“That whole southern hospitality approach to welcoming everyone and making sure they have a positive experience from the time they buy their ticket to the time they head home after the show, that’s impactful. People remember that, and they want to come back and that’s huge. That’s all local.”

As a result, Durham has not only become a destination for quality live entertainment but is also regarded in the industry as a desirable stop for first national tours like last year’s juggernaut Hamilton.

“I think that the goal now is not same old same old, but to maintain the impact that I think we’ve been fortunate to have in the Triangle from an arts standpoint. We want to continue to keep bringing the best shows soon to Durham and the Triangle, that would be our ongoing goal.”

And while there are many entertainment options available, Meyer says nothing beats the experience of seeing something live, which is what keeps him going.

“When I used to go and visit theaters around the U.S, if there was a show going on, I’d love to stand in the back and watch audience reactions. That’s when you get reminded, ‘Oh, this is why we do what we do.’ ” “That moment when the people are in the room and having an experience from what they are seeing on stage, that’s amazing. And live entertainment is really, I feel, like one of the only mediums in which you get that direct feedback.”

Worldwide, its 10 Broadway titles have been seen by nearly 200 million theatergoers and have been nominated for 60 Tony ® Awards, winning Broadway’s highest honor 20 times. With more than 20 productions currently produced or licensed, a Disney musical is being performed professionally somewhere on the planet virtually every hour of the day. The company’s inaugural production, Beauty and the Beast, opened in 1994. It played a remarkable 13 year run on Broadway and has been produced

in 37 countries worldwide. In November 1997, Disney opened The Lion King, which received six 1998 Tony Awards including Best Musical. After 21 landmark years on Broadway, it has welcomed more than 100 million visitors worldwide to date, and can currently be seen in nine productions worldwide. Having played 20 countries on every continent except Antarctica, The Lion King’s worldwide gross exceeds that of any film, Broadway show or other entertainment title in box office history. Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida opened on Broadway next, winning four 2000 Tony Awards. It was followed by Mary Poppins, a co-production with Cameron Mackintosh, which opened in London in 2004 and went on to enjoy a six year Tony-winning Broadway run. Tarzan ®, which opened on Broadway in 2006, went on to become an international hit with an award-winning production enjoying a 10-year run in Germany. In January 2008, The Little Mermaid opened on Broadway and was the #1-selling new musical of that year. Disney Theatrical Productions opened two critically acclaimed productions on Broadway in 2012, receiving seven Tony Awards between them: Peter and the Starcatcher and Newsies, each of which enjoyed a two-year run with the latter launching a two-year North American tour and a record-breaking Fathom Events’ in-cinema release. Aladdin, Disney Theatrical’s 2014 hit, continues selling out on Broadway and has launched five additional productions around the globe and has been seen by more than 10 million guests. Its newest hit, the 2018 Tony-nominated Best Musical Frozen, continues setting records in its Broadway run with future productions set to open in Australia, Japan, London, Germany and on tour across North America.

TRIANGLE RISING STARS CELEBRATING THE BEST OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THEATRE IN OUR REGION

DPAC is proud to present the 10th anniversary of Triangle Rising Stars, the regional qualifying event for The National High School Musical Theatre Awards™ (NHSMTA).

NHSMTA is a national competition that celebrates outstanding student performances in high school musical productions across the United States.Triangle Rising Stars brings together high school musical theatre students from Durham, the Triangle and the surrounding region to perform and compete for a chance to represent DPAC in the national finals in New York City each summer.

A team of judges from DPAC, Duke University, ABC 11, Carolina Theatre and other arts and performance professionals attend area high school musical productions throughout the school year. Twenty finalists are then selected to rehearse and compete with the best of their peers, culminating in a live performance at the Triangle Rising Stars Showcase and Awards show at DPAC each May. This year, seven awards will be presented during the live ceremony: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Dancer, Best Singer, Best Ensemble, Triangle Shining Star (congeniality award), and The Marchael Bayne Award for Best Musical.

The students awarded Best Actress and Best Actor each receive $2,000 academic scholarships and are invited on an all-expenses-paid trip to the NHSMTA program in New York City in June at Nederlander’s Minskoff Theatre, home for Disney’s The Lion King.

42

About NHSMTA – The National High School Musical Theatre Awards™ (NHSMTA) was established in 2009 to elevate the importance of theatre arts education in schools and reward excellence in student performance.

The program impacts over 50,000 students annually who participate in high school musical theatre competitions sponsored by thirty professional theatres throughout the US. Also known as The Jimmy® Awards, named for Broadway impresario James M. Nederlander, this yearround program is administered by The Broadway League Foundation Inc.

Please visit DPACnc.com/TRS for more information on Triangle Rising Stars. More information on NHSMTA and The Jimmy Awards can be found at jimmyawards.com.

HEART OF THE ARTS Community Engagement — Sharing the Magic of Live Entertainment Since 2008, DPAC’s community outreach programs have been making connections between the shows DPAC presents and local students and non-profit arts organizations.

Each season, DPAC coordinates educational workshops led by touring Broadway cast and crew members for Durham students interested in the performing arts.

Students and their teachers have told us that DPAC’s educational outreach events are among their school year’s highlights.The chance to interact with Broadway theater professionals is inspiring; they provide real-world insights and offer students a oncein-a-lifetime experience.

DPAC For All, a program started in 2018, reserves $20 tickets exclusively for residents of Durham.This program provides an opportunity for many to experience their first-ever Broadway musical at a savings of 25% to 75%. Residents can purchase these specially discounted tickets in-person at the Blue Cross of NC Ticket Center at DPAC. New this year, is DPAC’s Inclusion Project.This new program provides a DPAC VIP experience to deserving community members, those who serve to make a difference for others in everyday life here in the Triangle. Recipients will have the opportunity to enjoy the magic of live entertainment at DPAC, as a small reward and recognition for their service in our communities. Want to nominate someone?

GUEST ETIQUETTE At DPAC, we’re committed to Guest Courtesy. Please remember to be a good neighbor to those seated around you.

AFTER THE PERFORMANCE

Yes, the lobby gets busy and the parking lots can be tricky, but please remain at your seats until the houselights come up. As a courtesy to the performers and other audience members, DPAC asks that you do not rush for the exits prematurely at the end of the performance.

CAMERAS / RECORDING

Photography and video recording is prohibited by almost all of the events that DPAC hosts. All electronic devices (cell phones, smartphones, tablets, digital cameras) must be turned off before the start of the show. The light from phones is distracting to others throughout the seating area. Cameras with a detachable lens are never allowed at DPAC, and for most shows, no cameras of any kind are allowed including small pointand-shoot cameras.

ENTERING AND EXITING THE SEATING AREA

Please time your exit and re-entry to the seating area to occur only at intermission or breaks between songs. This is a courtesy to other guests around you who will appreciate you keeping these disruptions to a minimum.

KIDS AT DPAC

Please note that all guests require a ticket, regardless of age. Children under the age of 6 are not allowed at most DPAC performances including Broadway, Concerts and Comedy shows.

For some shows DPAC will make recommendations on the appropriate minumum age based on the content and the length of the event. Parental discretion is always advised and judgment of the appropriateness of the content for each show should be made on an individual basis prior to purchase. Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests. As a further courtesy to our guests, DPAC recommends one parent or chaperone for every one child in attendance.

IT CAN WAIT.

Please save texting until AFTER the show. The light from phones is distracting to others throughout the theater. Please keep them turned off.

IT’S SUPERSTAR ENTERTAINMENT, NOT A FOOD FEST

Small snacks and drinks are welcome in the seating area, but as a courtesy to those around you, eat and drink as quietly as possible. Please know that odors and noisy wrappers can disturb others. We also ask that you finish sandwiches or other large food items before entering the seating area.

QUIET PLEASE.

Once the show starts, please let the stage be the center of attention. We ask that you turn off all cell phones and limit conversation. If children are attending this performance with you, please exit the theater immediately if they become restless or talkative.

AVOID SCALPERS

Don’t purchase tickets from Internet scalpers!

At DPAC, we’re tired of seeing unauthorized ticket brokers take advantage of DPAC ticket buyers.

Don’t be fooled by online websites who mimic DPAC’s name or website and offer tickets they might not even have. You will always pay more, will rarely get the seats they advertise, and you may even receive counterfeit tickets.

•

Go directly to DPACnc.com or to Ticketmaster.com; type it in yourself, rather than using an online search. These are the only OFFICIAL ONLINE TICKETING PROVIDERS for events at DPAC.

•

If you do use a search engine, look for the official DPAC website www.DPACnc.com. Only our authentic venue site is allowed to be labeled as “official.”

•

“Speculative Listing” is when unofficial sellers list tickets for sale even though they do not actually have those tickets. They are betting they can trick you into buying tickets, often in seat locations you may not really want and at a price much higher than what others are paying for the same seats. For more information about speculative ticketing, visit this warning from Ticketmaster: https://insider.ticketmaster.com/spec-ticketing/

Avoid unsecured purchases from fraudulent and misleading online ticket brokers.

Don’t overpay for your tickets. For the best prices and best selection, always go directly to DPACnc.com or Ticketmaster.com and BUY DIRECT!

DISCOVER BROADWAY Donate your tickets and give area students the chance to experience their first Broadway show ever!

DPAC’s Discover Broadway offers SunTrust Broadway members a way to donate their tickets so their valuable seats do not go to waste.

During the 2018 / 2019 season, DPAC saw a 60% growth in Discover

Broadway donations. Thanks to the generosity of DPAC’s Season Seat

Members, over 200 seats were donated to deserving individuals

including students from Durham Public Schools and Partners for Youth Opportunity plus seniors living in Durham public housing. For many, these seats provided opportunities to experience their first Broadway show ever.

For the 2018 / 2019 season, DPAC’s Discover Broadway will be partnering with Durham Public Schools and North Carolina Central University to reach students in the performing arts who would otherwise be unable to attend a hit Broadway show at DPAC. By generously donating tickets you cannot use, Durham students will receive the chance to experience the magic of a hit Broadway show. These donated tickets provide the opportunity of a lifetime.

It’s easy to help: • If you know in advance that you cannot attend a show, or even if one member of your party will not be joining you, simply contact DPAC at :

DiscoverBroadway@dpacnc.com

• You will receive an acknowledgment from DPAC that your unused tickets will be reprinted for donation to an area student.

• You, then, discard your original tickets and DPAC will handle all other details. * Please note: ticket donations must be made at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled performance date.

THANK YOU TO DPAC’S CORPORATE PARTNERS:

DPAC AMBASSADORS In 2018, DPAC launched Performing Arts Ambassadors, a new program for high school students passionate about live entertainment and the performing arts.

20 students were selected from over 50 applicants, and each was able to see the diversity offered by DPAC and acquire a behind-the-scenes look at the events presented by one of the top-five theaters in America. These up-close experiences not only help students realize the importance of the arts, but also allows them first-hand experiences that may help them one-day choose a career path in performing arts management. And just as important, DPAC’s Performing Arts Ambassadors are able to share their insights and experiences with other teens throughout the region via social media.

High school-aged students are encouraged to apply each summer for the upcoming season. Ambassadors volunteer in a variety of roles at events, shadow key staff members, attend DPAC events, and report about their experiences via a blog and other social media channels throughout the school year.
