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

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT Twists of Fate
How Rhode Island’s Lynn Singleton helped shape DPAC
Lynn Singleton was well on his way to a Ph.D. in higher education administration when he instead decided to go run a riverboat in Monroe, LA. OK, so he was also in charge of a 23-acre complex there that included a 10,000-seat arena, 2,300-seat theater and 150,000-square-foot conference banquet facility. But the move was definitely a riverboat gamble, and one that paid off big, both for Singleton and, decades later, the Durham Performing Arts Center.
‘I should do this.’ Singleton was enjoying his work running auxiliary services for Rhode Island College back in the late 70s. He managed and operated all the facilities that weren’t tied to academics: Student union, the Rathskellar, bookstore, etc. He was preparing to do his Ph.D. dissertation at Boston College when a friend told him about the job in Monroe.
“I agreed, even though I felt I was totally unqualified. However, I realized one thing: My whole time in higher education, I was using facilities for performances that weren’t designed for performances. I presented The Police, The Pretenders, Jimmy Buffett, and The J. Geils Band in the gymnasium.” Singleton reasoned that if he could pull those off, how hard could a riverboat be?
“As the opportunity presented itself, I said, ‘You know what? I think I should do this.’ ”
36-R
He was offered and accepted the job, and spent 1980 to 1983 cutting his teeth in entertainment venue management. It was a good proving ground for him as he did a little bit of everything. After three successful years down South, home came calling.
Quick turnaround
The Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) was on the brink of insolvency, and Singleton was asked to come right the ship. With the backing of key movers and shakers, he was able very quickly to recruit and hire a good staff, many of whom are still with him. Singleton, who remains President of PPAC to this day, landed more and better shows, and launched an intensive marketing campaign. The turnaround was almost immediate, with PPAC being voted the top 3,000-seat theatre in the nation in 1985 and 1987. Attendance at PPAC has increased from 57,000 in 1983 to nearly 500,000 in 2018.
‘Exceeded our dream’
So, you’re thinking, good for them. But what does this have to do with DPAC? Well, it was the next major pivot point in Singleton’s career that ultimately led him to Durham. Singleton’s success at PPAC earned him a reputation, and his contract allowed him to consult with other theaters – which inevitably led to a job offer from another city.
“That seemed like an interesting possibility, but it wasn’t in my plans to leave Rhode Island because it was in my DNA.” So he talked it over with Bruce Sundlun, then a successful businessman and chairman of the PPAC Board of Trustees and, later, the governor of Rhode Island.
‘He said, ‘Let’s form a company, and we’ll just run buildings,’ ” Singleton recalls. “That’s how we started Professional Facilities Management. It started in 1988 with one account in Lowell, Mass. Today we have eleven accounts in eight states. Our reality exceeded our dream.” One of those accounts, of course, is DPAC.
‘Straight flush’
Back in 2007, Professional Facilities Management (PFM) had already secured the contract to operate DPAC - and convinced Broadway heavyweight Nederlander to book the shows – when Singleton commenced his “listening tour” down here.
“I would go places, and they would tell me that nobody would come to Durham to see shows. I’m thinking to myself, ‘What have I gotten PFM and the Nederlanders into?’ ”

He plowed ahead in his work to make sure the building was in top form. That included convincing the city to build large enough, at 2,700-seats, to be profitable.
“People build these multimillion theaters that only seat 2,000. Even if they knock it out of the park, there’s no money for them.” But as opening night in 2008 approached, uncertainty abounded. The looming recession didn’t help. And, as Singleton notes,
“There had never been a full week of Broadway ever presented in Durham, North Carolina. So it was a big leap of faith.” The first year was “respectable,” Singleton says. But it took work to grow.
“DPAC as we know and love it today, it took a while to get there. I give that credit first to Nederlander, because they brought those major first-run national tours to Durham. And the second thing is the staff. [DPAC General Manager] Bob Klaus has done a great job with what I call the DPAC experience. The patrons feel very attached to the facility, very proud of the facility, they genuinely love the way the staff treats them.” The results are plainly evident. The 2017-18 season had a record-high 130 sell-out performances and brought in nearly half a million guests, ranking third in the nation. PFM continues to make sure the building continues offering world-class amenities. Singleton, a man with a decades-long track record, sees no reason why DPAC can’t continue its successful run.
“There were a lot of doubters, but we had some good cards to begin with, and we drew a straight flush. Things are bright, and things should continue to be bright.”

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.

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.
