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!
Christopher J. Bell SunTrust Region President, Triangle East
Welcome to SunTrust Broadway at DPAC! 6
3622 Lyckan Parkway, Suite 1001 Durham, NC 27707
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. 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 North Carolina’s first-ever “sensory-friendly” theatrical performances 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! On behalf of our entire team, it is a privilege to have you here. We understand that you have many options on where and how to spend your leisure time, and we’re honored that you chose DPAC. We have over 500 employees and volunteers, all of whom play important roles in making your live entertainment experience at DPAC the very best that it can be. From the backstage crew to the box office; from the ushers who greet you at our doors to the food and beverage staff; from our marketing and sales departments to the skilled people who schedule the events that appear at DPAC, and everyone else behind the scenes – we’re all committed to one goal, and that is to be your favorite place for live events. Since opening in 2008, we’ve hosted over 4 million guests, and we love hearing from (and learning from) them. Whether you respond to one of our guest surveys, or email me directly via the address below, your feedback is a key element which has helped DPAC remain among America’s top-five ranked theaters every year. We don’t just read your comments, we find ways to improve our venue with your ideas and feedback. In ten years, we’ve found that’s how to build a great reputation and a loyal audience. I hope that this event creates a lasting memory, maybe changes you in some small way, and leaves you smiling as you make your way home after the show. We like to call DPAC the center for live entertainment, and this is especially true when you are here with us. Enjoy the show, and thank you for coming to DPAC. Sincerely, Bob Klaus, General Manager DPAC bklaus@dpacnc.com

days and aftermath of the Vietnam War, an investigation which informed him of the war’s cruelty, contradictions, sacrifice, and betrayal. “The pain of being torn apart and the fracture of the maternal bond must always be a presence in the depths of this woman’s heart. What we felt for this girl and her mother has always moved us deeply, both as fathers and as the children we once were. This Vietnamese woman, her face frozen in pain, knew that finding the child’s father marked the end of her life with her daughter, and that this moment at the departure gate was the end. This silent scream is the most potent condemnation of the horror of that war
— of all wars. This photo could have been taken today in Syria, Sudan and probably in the Ukraine. We hope that such a picture will never be taken here. Where is she? We hope she found happiness somewhere in America and especially that her mother’s sacrifice was not in vain. Or...maybe they met again, against all odds, maybe the father had not met an Ellen, maybe he went to look for her and found her, MAYBE — like the new song in this new version of MISS SAIGON. Maybe she kept faith in her story like Cameron Mackintosh, our producer, kept faith in ours when he asked us two years ago if we would write a new song for Ellen, 25 years after the creation of the show. We did enthusiastically. Such was the start of this reinvention of MISS SAIGON under his creative helm. We only hope that the little girl had a chance to reinvent her life.” – Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg – London, May 2014

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT More Than Just a Music Venue: The Genesis of DPAC Rep. MaryAnn Black, now a member of the state House of Representatives, was a Durham County Commissioner back in the late 1990s when the idea of building a performing arts center was just that – an idea. One of the early concepts was a concert hall that would primarily host music performances. She remembers saying at one of the meetings,
“But we have Walnut Creek. We need Broadway. If we do that, I would be a season-ticket holder. But I wouldn’t be for a venue that only did music.” By the time the Durham Performing Arts Center as we know it today became a reality, she had left the board of commissioners after 12 years of service to focus on her role as Associate Vice President for Community Relations at Duke University Health System. She was disappointed to no longer have a role in the arts in Durham. But that wouldn’t last long. When the city was asking for applicants to the DPAC Oversight Committee, then-Mayor Bill Bell noticed that Black had not submitted an application. He called her office to find she was out of the country.
“I got a call while I was overseas saying the mayor was trying to get in touch with me, because I had not put my name in to be on the oversight committee. I was just elated. I got the application in and served as the first chair of the oversight committee.” The committee represents the citizens of Durham, monitoring DPAC's operations and finance and making suggestions for improvements. Black has served a total of eight years on the committee, currently as the community relations representative. It’s a role well suited for someone who has had decades of success both in professional and public service spheres. She comes by her acumen naturally, as a civic-minded spirit and keen business sense are both part of her family heritage. Her grandmother was a powerful advocate for orphans, delivering impassioned pleas for funding at churches in her hometown of Florence, S.C. at a time when women rarely if ever spoke from the pulpit.
“I asked her, ‘Why do you collect this money and bring it over to the orphanage?’ She said, 'When you are a motherless child it is very, very hard growing up.’ ”
40-R
That’s when she learned her grandmother had been orphaned at the age of 5, and spent her formative years living with various relatives. Black says her mother’s cousin was another influence. She had earned a master’s and doctorate in social work and taught at Howard University.
“I remember telling my mother, ‘I want to do what she does.' We were always taught that you give back, and you help to make the world a better place.” She graduated from Benedict College in Columbia, S.C. and then received her Masters in Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill. She became a clinical social worker for Duke, then decided to set up her private practice. People asked if she was afraid to fail. "I told them my dad and grandfather ran a general store in town and also a funeral home. I grew up around the dining room table, listening to my grandfather and dad discuss balance sheets and taxes and that kind of thing.” She indeed went on to have a successful practice for 20 years. In 1994, she was named Social Worker of the Year by the State of North Carolina and by the National Association of Social Workers. Along the way, she has become one of the most recognizable figures in Durham civic life. She served as a Durham County Commissioner from 1990-2002, where she was Chair for six years. She has served as President of the Durham Downtown Rotary and was the first female Chair of the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce Board. She continues her work leading community relations for Duke University Health System, establishing partnerships with the city, county and other agencies to support the health of Durham citizens. Health care is naturally a focus of hers as a state legislator, as is economic development for her district and the entire state. Busy as she is, Black says she wants to continue to play a hand in DPAC’s continued success.
“I’ve gone into some theaters where the shows are wonderful but the facility and the service are not quite as good as the show. Moving forward, I see DPAC continuing to advance, having more season ticket holders, and making sure the stage and the entire building is always maintained at a level that is first-class.”

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 program 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 the performance date.

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.

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH
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. High school students passionate about the arts will be exposed to the diversity of what is offered at DPAC through this year-round program and get 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.

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!
