WELCOME FROM OUR SPONSOR
SunTrust is proud to sponsor what may be the most stellar season yet of SunTrust Broadway at DPAC! Whether this is your first SunTrust Broadway visit, or you’re a long-time season seat 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. Helping people gain personal confidence about their finances is SunTrust’s passion and our purpose. Did you know that 75% of Americans report that their finances are their primary source of stress? SunTrust recognized that this is a silent epidemic that had to be addressed. In 2016, we launched the onUp Movement to offer everyone – SunTrust clients or otherwise – a way to take the first steps toward financial confidence. Escaping financial stress frees you to enjoy what is most important. We encourage you to join the Movement at onUp.com, where you’ll find tips, resources and challenge games to launch your journey to a life well-spent. But for tonight, sit back, and enjoy the show!

WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR The traditional tenth anniversary gift is aluminum or tin, but that just does not seem fitting to celebrate a place that has delivered nothing but platinum for Durham for the last decade. As Durham’s mayor, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Durham Performing Arts Center. 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, more than 480,000 visitors walked the red carpet last year to attend award-winning musicals, such as Les Misérables, The Color Purple, and sold-out concerts including David Byrne, Anita Baker and Jerry Seinfeld. In addition, this past fall, DPAC hosted 32 sold-out performances of the Tony® award-winning musical HAMILTON. 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 hosted its second “sensory-friendly” theatrical performance for children with autism. 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. If you stay the night, downtown hotels are here to welcome you with open arms. Milestone anniversaries are often the result of great partnerships, and DPAC is no different. Since the very beginning, the facility’s manager Nederlander/PFM has been responsible for bringing Tony®-winning Broadway shows to Durham, making DPAC a source of local, regional and national pride. If the first ten years indicate what’s to come, then buckle your seatbelts! Thank you for choosing DPAC and Durham. Now settle into your seats to enjoy your DPAC experience and an unforgettable show! Sincerely,
Mayor Steve Schewel

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Welcome to DPAC! We’re glad you are here. The team here recently celebrated our tenth birthday. It was a milestone that had us looking back on hosting over 2,000 events, entertaining over 4 million guests - generating an economic impact for Durham of over $658 million. I was DPAC’s first employee. I started in January of 2008, about ten months before the center opened. When I first started, I had no office and worked out of a Starbucks in Downtown Durham that had a good Wi-Fi connection. One of my first tasks as General Manager was to recruit the original management team. We started with ten full-time staff members; since then, the staff has doubled in size as the number of annual events has tripled from our first season. Special recognition goes to Rachel Traversari and Josh Anderson, who were part of the original staff and have grown into roles as senior leaders within our organization. The success that DPAC has does not just happen. It takes hundreds of full-time, parttime and volunteer staff members, and many more at The Nederlander Organization, Professional Facilities Management and the City of Durham’s elected officials and staff with whom we work closely in the operation of DPAC. I extend my thanks to everyone that has played a part in DPAC being ranked among the top five theaters in the country every year. This past October we received what may be our greatest recognition, being named as Theater of the Year by IEBA (International Entertainment Buyers Association), a trade association made of venue managers, agents, and event promoters. This recognition is a source of pride for Durham and the region: there were a total of seven theaters nominated with the six other nominees in the much larger markets of Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. We’re always proud to share the accolades, awards and top rankings we achieve at DPAC, because we also want to thank you, our loyal guests, who have made this possible. Thank you for choosing to join us at this performance, and thank you for a fantastic first ten years. Sincerely,
Bob Klaus General Manager

A Look Behind the Scenes with the Writer of the Book for the Hit Broadway Musical “Beautiful” By Douglas McGrath
When Paul Blake, the producer of Beautiful, asked me to write a Broadway musical about Carole King, her husband and lyricist, Gerry Goffin, and their fellow songwriters, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, I said no. I admired the songwriters immensely but had no idea about how to tell their story. Then Paul reminded me that the songwriters had had their offices at 1650 Broadway. This building had once been the province of the classic American songwriters of the Tin Pan Alley age
and then in the 50’s became the place where kids came to create rock and roll. Maybe there was something in that clash, the old being ousted by the new? So I met the songwriters and told them my idea about kids chasing out the old guard. Carole’s face lit up. I knew I had nailed it. “That,” she said, “is completely wrong!” “What?” I said. “We idolized Gershwin and Cole Porter,” she explained. “We studied their music.“ Now I was really interested. Carole

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT Jolly Good Show After 10 years of distinguished service in the DPAC ticket center, British ex-pat Les Walton is set to retire. To some DPAC guests, Les Walton is simply “the guy with the British accent.” Usually that works to his advantage in his role working in the DPAC ticket center, which he has performed to rave reviews since the theater opened in 2008. But the accent can be a double-edged sword. “Everyone likes an accent – especially a British accent, let’s be honest,” he says. ““So if I do good, it’s very good. But if I do make a mistake, I can’t hide. People can say, ‘Well, the English guy told me…’ But hopefully most of the time it goes the positive way.” By all accounts, that is the case. “Les is an extremely committed and hard worker,” says Kelley Monts de Oca, Director of Ticketing. “Whenever a project is assigned to him, he sees it through to the finish. He frequently trains new hires … he serves our customers well and is known among staff as a leader in customer service.” She adds, “He’s the guy with the British accent guests always compliment in their survey responses.” Born and raised in the suburbs of London, Les moved to the Durham area in 1970 to work in the lab at what was then Burroughs Wellcome, now GlaxoSmithKline. He was in his early 20s, and was supposed to be here for just a two-year project. “They told me, ‘We can help you get your Green Card, are you interested?' I said, 'Absolutely.’ That was 1970. I’m still here.” Which is why Les says with a chuckle that, despite the accent, “I’m just a good ol’ Southern boy, I’ve been here so long.” He spent his first 39 years in the States as a “lab grunt” before retiring in 2007. After less than a year, he decided he needed something to keep him occupied. One of his three sons (he and wife, Carol, have been married since 1985) was working with the Durham Bulls for the summer, so Les inquired if there might be an open position. Les got hired there in 2008 to help direct traffic on game days. As it happened, the yetto-be-opened DPAC had set up its headquarters in the Durham Bulls offices. He asked them for an interview as well, which Les says went something like this: “Hi. How are you? When can you start?

He’s been working in the ticket center ever since, where he is known for “always going above and beyond to help DPAC guests,” his boss says. He’s technically part time, scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, but he also often works nights and weekends when a show is on. Les says that, after working in a lab for all those years, he loves being able to get to know people and assist them. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to interact with the public because I’d never done that before,” he says. “The gratification I get is just helping them out, fixing any problems they have with their tickets so they can have an enjoyable evening. There are certain things that felt really innate in just being able to work with people, talk with people, and just listening to what the guest wants. That’s what I’ve tried to do.” “The guest is coming here to be entertained. My job is to make sure they can walk away from this place and think, ‘I had a really great time.” Like any good showman, Les is going to leave the audience wanting more. He will retire in May, right after he turns 70. “It’s about time. I feel like I should be doing other things now besides working.” Then again, other than travel and gardening, Les isn’t exactly sure yet how he’ll be spending his time during Retirement: Part II. He just might make a return cameo to DPAC here and there. “I already told the box office director, ‘If you really need someone trained, don’t hesitate to call. I’m just down the road.’ ” HuthPhoto

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!

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH Making a Difference in Our Community
Since 2008, DPAC’s community outreach program Heart of the Arts has been making connections between the shows DPAC presents on our stage, local students and non-profit organizations. Through Heart of the Arts, DPAC coordinates master classes 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 once-in-a-lifetime experience. New this year, DPAC’s Heart of the Arts team has started the Performing Arts Ambassador program. The diversity of what is offered at DPAC will be revealed to high school students passionate about the arts through this yearround program and they will acquire a behind-the-scenes look at the events at one of the top five theaters in America. These up-close experiences will not only help students realize the importance of the arts, but also allow them to share their insights and experiences with teens throughout the region via social media.

STARS VOLUTEER PROGRAM Become a Volunteer at DPAC DPAC invites you to become a member of the DPAC Stars, part of Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau (DCVB) Wayfinder volunteer program. As a volunteer at DPAC, you have the privilege of being our guests’ first impression of DPAC and, for many, their first impression of the City of Durham.
DPAC has hosted over 2,000 performances and had over four million guests through our doors. It’s undeniable that DPAC would not be where it is today without the contributions of the members of this important volunteer program. DPAC is famous for our customer service, and we invite you to serve as an ambassador for Durham in welcoming the 500,000 guests that will visit DPAC this season.
THE VOLUNTEER’S ROLE
Volunteers play many important roles at DPAC including:
• Provide information and directions to guests as they arrive at the three main parking areas used for DPAC events. • Greet and assist guests with directions just inside the entrances to DPAC. • Pass out programs and information on upcoming events.
KEY BENEFITS
• Convenient online scheduling of shifts. • Camaraderie with others in sharing time and service to the community. • Option to stay and watch the show after completion of volunteer shift. JOIN TODAY! DPAC Stars are such an important part of our legendary “DPAC Experience.” We hope you will consider this chance to serve the greater Durham community and the world-class events that are coming to DPAC. Visit www.DPACnc.com/community/volunteer to learn more about our DPAC Stars program and how to get involved!

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, six awards will be presented during the live ceremony: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Dancer, Best Ensemble, Triangle Shining Star (congeniality award), and The Marchael Bayne Award for Best Musical.

GUEST ETIQUETTE At DPAC, we’re committed to Guest Courtesy. Please remember to be a good neighbor to those seated around you. 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.
QUIET PLEASE.
Once the show starts, please let the stage be the center of attention. We ask that you turn off all phones and limit conversation. If children are attending this performance with you, please exit the theater immediately if they become restless or talkative.
CAMERAS / RECORDING
Photography and video recording is prohibited. All electronic devices (cell phones, smart phones, tablets, digital cameras) must be turned off before the start of the show. Cameras with detachable lenses are never allowed into the building, and for some shows no cameras of any kind are allowed, including small point-and-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.
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.
KIDS AT DPAC
Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests. As a courtesy, DPAC recommends one parent or chaperone for every one child in attendance.
We sincerely hope you enjoy your DPAC experience so please know we are here to help. If you have a question or need assistance of any kind, please just ask the nearest usher, security guard, or DPAC staff member. We believe in great entertainment experiences, and we want to be our guests’ favorite place for live events.

DISCOVER BROADWAY Can’t use one or more of your season tickets for the next show? Donate your tickets and give an area youth or senior the chance to experience their first Broadway show ever! DPAC’s Discover Broadway and Golden Ticket programs offer SunTrust Broadway members a way to donate their tickets so their valuable seats do not go to waste. During the 2017 / 2018 season, over 150 tickets were donated to these programs and distributed to Durham Public Schools, Partners for Youth Opportunity and Durham seniors living in public housing. For many, these seats provided opportunities for youth and seniors to experience their first Broadway show ever. For the 2018 / 2019 season, DPAC’s Discover Broadway program will be partnering with Durham Public Schools to reach students in the performing arts who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend our events. DPAC’s Golden Ticket benefits seniors living at the J.J. Henderson Housing Center in Durham. By generously donating tickets you cannot use, Durham youth and seniors get the chance to experience the magic and music of live Broadway shows. With your generosity, 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 ticket information is being processed. • You, then, discard your original tickets and DPAC will handle all other details – we will reprint the tickets and arrange to have them distributed to deserving Durham students and seniors. * Please note: ticket donations must be made at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled performance date.
