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.

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

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.

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT Meet Alan Chille, The Man Behind the Curtain by Lauren Van Hemert

You could call Alan Chille, Vice President of Operations for Professional Facilities Management (PFM), the man behind the curtain. Chille oversees planning and operations for all of PFM’s buildings, including the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). He says good planning, from the front of the house to backstage, compliments the events that are on stage. “People don’t go to theaters just to see the theater. The show kind of trumps it all. But you want that experience. Making sure the building was built right, the temperature of the room is right, the esthetics are correct, the sound is clear, you know, trying to manage all of those pieces of the experience.” “DPAC, like all of the buildings we manage, is what they call a road house or touring house, which means shows come in, they load in, and then move out and move to a new city. You make sure they’ve got everything they need, you know, the turnkey operation, to get them in, play the event and then get them out on the road to the next venue.”

Go Anchormen! And Chille is comfortable managing those kinds of details. He has spent most of his life working and doing just that. While attending Rhode Island College, home of the Anchormen, he booked bands for the campus pub. It was there he met James Lynn Singleton, who was the Director of Student Activities at the time. Years later, when Singleton went to work for the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), he recruited Chille to be General Manager. And when Singleton formed PFM, which was born out of PPAC’s knack for helping other performing arts centers, Chille became Vice President.

Like Birthing a Baby Chille compares all the PFM buildings to kids. They are all a little different. And while most were already operating before connecting with PFM, DPAC was in the planning and preconstruction phase. That’s one of the reasons DPAC is so close to his heart. “It’s almost like birthing a baby. You know, you kind of walk through with the construction and you work with the architects and you work with the consultants and you have input in how to lay things out.”

Even though Chille felt DPAC could be a stimulus for the area, he was concerned. There were not only budget constraints, but 14 years ago, downtown Durham didn’t have the vibrancy it has today. “I just remember walking down to that site before the building was there when American Tobacco was kind of in its infancy. The downtown on the side of the railroad tracks by the Marriott was kind of really quiet at the time.” “The only bright light, I would say at the time, was the Durham Bulls ballpark, because on a night of a game you’d be like, ‘well there are people here because they come to this game,’ but there weren’t many people outside of that time.” Now he says he’s proud to watch the whole area come alive on a show evening. “I definitely think theater lends itself to be, you know, kind of more of an economic generator for the community.”

“We’re in the business of making memories.” Chille credits DPAC’s success to its diverse programming, community support, and top-notch customer service. “I think one of the success stories of DPAC is it’s kind of something for everyone. Its ability to appeal to so many different genres of music and theater and dance and comedy and even local. It just has things that bring people there.” And while Chille says the shows have gotten bigger and technologies have changed, the feeling audiences get from seeing a something live, whether it is a rock band or Broadway tour, is constant. And it’s that part of his job, which he calls the business of making memories, that keeps him going. “You can imagine in any industry you get into the day to day and you focus on the problems and things you get to make and work hard. But there’s a value to seeing and experiencing that excitement of the crowd and the people that keeps you doing it and putting in the hours.” “Over a half million people come through the building and if they all had a good experience, those people go back out in the world and tell people about the show they saw, the experience they had. So, I think, moving forward, we want to just keep that going, to be able to continue to provide that great entertainment, keep the building looking good, provide a great experience for the patron, and continue to be an asset to the to the community at large.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SUPERSTAR ENTERTAINMENT, NOT A FOOD FEST
