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

DOUGLAS McGRATH (Book) is a filmmaker and playwright. His play Checkers opened the 30th anniversary season at New York’s Vineyard Theatre. He collaborated with Woody Allen on the screenplay for Bullets Over Broadway, for which they were nominated for an Academy Award. His first film as writer/director was his adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma. He has also written and directed Nicholas Nickleby, which won the Best Ensemble Cast from the National Board of Review; Company Man; Infamous; and His Way. His essays have appeared in the New Yorker, The New Republic, Vanity Fair and The New York Times. GERRY GOFFIN (Words and Music). Born in Brooklyn in 1939, Gerry Goffin met Carole King at Queens College, and their musical collaboration began almost immediately. They married in 1959, and that same year wrote their first hit song “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” (The Shirelles). The duo penned more than 50 Top-40 hits including “The Locomotion,” “Natural Woman” and “Up on the Roof.” In 1987, Goffin and King were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Goffin has left an indelible mark on American music. CAROLE KING (Words and Music). Pop music would be very different without the contributions of Carole King, who at age 17 wrote her first #1 hit with Gerry Goffin, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” for the Shirelles. The dozens of chart hits Goffin and King wrote during this period became legendary, but it was 1971’s Tapestry that took King to the pinnacle, speaking personally to her contemporaries and providing a spiritual
musical backdrop to the decade. More than 400 of her compositions have been recorded by over 1,000 artists, resulting in 100 hit singles and six Grammys. BARRY MANN (Words and Music) has written the melodies of some of the most influential pop songs in musical history. In addition to “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the most-played song of the last century, and the songs heard in Beautiful, he composed later standards like “Somewhere Out There” (winner of two Grammys), “Here You Come Again,” “Sometimes When We Touch,” “Just Once” and “Don’t Know Much.” Together, he and Cynthia Weil have amassed an incredible 112 pop, country and R&B awards from Broadcast Music Inc. for significant radio air play. He has been inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. CYNTHIA WEIL (Words and Music) is known as the lyricist of classic songs such as “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the most-played song of the 20th century. In addition to the songs heard in Beautiful, she set the words to later standards including “Somewhere Out There,” “Here You Come Again,” “He’s So Shy,” “Just Once” and “Don’t Know Much,” to name just a few. Weil has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, honored with multiple Grammy nominations and two Grammy awards for “Somewhere Out There” as the Motion Picture Song of the Year and Song of the Year.

Betty Buckley & Hello, Dolly! National Tour Company. 2018, Julieta Cervantes

Betty Buckley talks about what it means to her to be taking to the road in the new production of Hello, Dolly! I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. When my mother took me to see my first musical, I had this epiphany: That’s it! That’s what you’re going to be doing for the rest of your life! I was a performer from age 11 on, a professional at 15—playing Baby June in Gypsy—and on Broadway at 21 in 1776. Once you’ve been smitten by the beauty of all these talented artists coming together to create great musical theater, it’s life changing. I first saw Hello, Dolly! when I was a senior in high school, a stock production at our local theater, the Casa Manana. And then on a college trip to New York I saw Pearl Bailey in the
original Gower Champion production on Broadway. Hello, Dolly! is one of the all-time wonderful musicals in the lexicon of musical comedy. And this new production, directed by Jerry Zaks and choreographed by Warren Carlyle; it’s so fresh and so outstandingly beautiful. When I saw it in New York, it was like the greatest ice cream sundae that I’ve ever seen! I had never even pictured myself playing Dolly, so I was honored when Scott Rudin and Jerry Zaks asked me to bring it on the road. It’s very daunting to step into that red dress and to walk down the iconic staircase at the Harmonia Gardens restaurant to greet

all those dancing waiters, who leap— so thrillingly—across the orchestra pit on all sides of me! I think of the legacy of so many great actress singers who played this role from the time I was a teenager. Carol Channing first, of course; and then Mary Martin. I grew up listening to her cast albums, because she was born in Weatherford, Texas, just an hour away from my home town. So I was thrilled to find out that she’d played Dolly. And the rest: Ginger Rogers, Eve Arden, Betty Grable, even Ethel Merman. This new production which we’re touring across the country started with the great Bette Midler, and it was also played

in New York by both Donna Murphy and Bernadette Peters. There’s a magical feeling you get, when you’re up there in the spotlight and about to launch into a big solo. I’m so aware, in that moment in time, that it’s not only me! It takes about 200 people—writers, directors, actors, musicians, stagehands—to create that particular moment of magic. Yes, the audience is wildly applauding, 2000 people out front. But it is 200 people, they combine to make this one exquisite moment of soaring music and drama and excitement. I’m just the quarterback in the moment. I’m honored and thrilled to do Dolly now, to take it across the country. I’m a cowgirl from Texas, so anything that’s challenging is really super fun for me. I love the discipline of being a musical theater artist and having to show up eight times a week, and get it right for each and every audience. Edited by Steven Suskin

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. We understand the lobby gets busy and the parking lots can be tricky, but please remain in your seats until the houselights come up.
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!

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.

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.

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.
