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

Journey to the past.
On stage Apr 16-21 Only a few seats remain at DPACnc.com.
FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS Ahrens: What I like a lot about it is the lyric progression. I think part of the success of the song is that it starts tentative, “Heart, don’t fail me now, courage, don’t desert me, don’t turn back now that we’re here. People always say, life is full of choices, no one ever mentions fear. Or how the world can seem so vast….” She’s very tentative and she’s “one step down this road, I know someone’s waiting, years of dreams just can’t be wrong… Arms will open wide...” It progresses to what she wants, what she’s going to find, the home, love, and family, and by the end of it, she is determined. The music and the lyrics reflect that, so there’s an emotional progression of a young woman standing on the brink of life and waiting to take it. CRAFTING THE MELODY Flaherty: The original version didn’t have the bridge as we know it, and this melody is different where the title [of the song] would be. At the time we were writing Anastasia, we were also writing Ragtime and about to land that production in Toronto, so we would have these big conference calls about Anastasia when we couldn’t be in Hollywood. We had this conference call to hear everybody’s concerns and thoughts about the song, and the head of the music department at Fox—a wonderful composer and songwriter, named Robert Kraft— he thought that the title had to be more
high-profile, musically, have a higher or larger more sweeping musical gesture. Of course, all I can think about is, “I want to go back to writing for Coalhouse and Sarah.” I was like, “OK, how about this?” And sort of like petulant child, I smacked out three notes on the piano for “to the past,” and he goes, “Oh that’s really good!” And that become the melody. It changed everything. We owe Robert gratitude because he loved the shape of the melody. He loved the way it searches and goes to these various keys, but he felt the center needed to be more direct, more simple. So, he suggested something like, “Boom! Boom! Boom!,”—essentially he meant whole notes. Lynn freaked out and she goes, “You only want whole notes?” Ahrens: When you use whole notes, those words have to be huge words, huge ideas! I thought, “What am I going to do?” I came up with “home, love, family.” Flaherty: We cheated on the last one, using two notes for family. “Home, love, faaaa-mily”—that became the central musical motif that actually illuminated what Anya’s entire search was for. In adapting it for the stage we were able to take that theme, in the very first scene with the Dowager and younger Anastasia, it’s seeded all through. It was sort of a lucky break; that larger thematic idea was something we could really build and use in the stage production. – Originally published on Playbill.com (August 2017)

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT A Decade of Partnership On a given weekend, there’s a good chance you’ll find Dr. Patrick Conway taking in a show at the Durham Performing Arts Center. Since being named President & CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina in December 2017, he’s become a big DPAC fan. He’s seen everything from the Broadway smash Hamilton to the Paw Patrol live show (accompanied by his four kids to the latter.)
“DPAC is an amazing, impressive venue, with an equally impressive offering of performances. We’ve been delighted every time.” And yet on another weekend, you might just as easily find Dr. Conway serving as the attending physician at UNC Children’s Hospital, taking care of children and their families at their most vulnerable. He volunteers one weekend about every eight weeks, sharing his years of experience as a practicing pediatric hospitalist. After graduating summa cum laude from Texas A&M University, and with high honors from Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Conway completed his pediatrics residency at Harvard Medical School's Children's Hospital Boston. He also spent years overseeing clinical operations, quality improvement, and research at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
“Some people don’t want to choose pediatrics because they don’t want to
deal with the families,” he says. “But I love that aspect. In my mind, that’s what it’s all about. You’re helping a family in their time of need.”
Dr. Conway says that “almost no one knows what I do for my day job when I’m there.” But he says his experiences there do inform and inspire his day job. In essence, it’s a very tangible reminder of why he goes to work every day.
“We insure the majority of people in North Carolina, and most of them for most of their lives,” he says. “That’s a huge opportunity to have a major impact on a state and its people.” Dr. Conway says his career mission has been aligned with what’s known as the Triple Aim: Improving the overall health of the population, delivering better health care quality and experience to patients and reducing the per-patient cost of care. He brought an excellent track record for doing just that prior to joining BCBSNC.

36-S
From 2011 to 2017, he was the Deputy Administrator for Innovation and Quality and Chief Medical Officer for Medicare and Medicaid. During his tenure, he led the launch of Partnership for Patients, a massive coordinating effort with many hospitals across the country to drastically reduce the number of patients who get injured or sick while under care – improve the patient transition to full wellness, all while reducing costs. The result was more than 125,000 lives saved, more than 3 million injuries and infections prevented and $26 billion saved. He also led the push to get more Medicare patients to use alternative payment models where providers are responsible for the quality and total cost in care. That led to about 30% of patients using these alternative models – about $200 billion worth – the largest shift in how Medicare patients paid for care in the agency’s history. Dr. Conway is pursuing similar outcomes with the recently unveiled Blue Premier program, which works with the UNC, Duke, WakeMed, Wake Forest Baptist and Cone health systems to promote a “value-based model of care.” The BCBSNC website explains:
“Paying for value means no longer paying for health care based only on the quantity of visits, tests or procedures. It means paying for results and for demonstrating high-quality care.”
Just like with his work with Medicare and Medicaid, this represents a major shift, but Dr. Conway believes it’s a positive one that reflects the changing nature and needs of the health care industry.
“Blue Cross Blue Shield is seen as one of the best Blues plans in the country. I was excited to join the team and work together to try to be a model for what’s possible for a health plan.”
As the primary insurer in North Carolina, the company has a ubiquitous presence as a community partner, which includes sponsorship support of DPAC before it even opened its doors. That is sure to remain the case on Dr. Conway’s watch. As mentioned, he’s a fan.
“The partnership with DPAC is important to our company. The partnership is
more than 10 years old, and I’m pleased that we recently renewed it. DPAC is in Durham, and we’re headquartered in Durham, so it’s a perfect fit. It’s been terrific to partner with a world-class performing arts center.”

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.

Triangle Rising Stars is 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 theater 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, 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. 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.

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.
