FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO

Dear friends, Made on a budget of just $5 million, the film Dirty Dancing was a juggernaut. The movie grossed over $215 million worldwide since its release in 1987, and it was the first film to sell over one million copies on VHS (remember VHS?). Two multi-platinum albums of the movie’s soundtrack sold over 44 million copies combined, and the film’s signature tune, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” won an Academy Award® for Best Original Song.

In 2001, Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage began as an eight-week workshop in New York City before receiving its first full production in Sydney, Australia in 2004 and touring Australia and New Zealand for 18 months. Following this tour was the muchanticipated London production, which opened at the Aldwych Theatre in the West End in October 2006 and ran for five years. Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage is currently touring the US, and we are pleased to present the show as the first production in the 2015-2016 Willis Broadway Series at the Des Moines Civic Center.

Set in the summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing is the story of 17-year-old Frances “Baby” Houseman, who vacations with her family at a Catskills resort in upstate New York, and her life-changing relationship with the resort’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle. The musical features all of the iconic music from the film, plus more than 25 new songs.

And, get ready to be awestruck with The Illusionists - Live From Broadway. Featuring some of the world’s most incredible illusionists, we’re thrilled to present this show here at the Civic Center before the production re-appears on Broadway for another magical holiday engagement.

Thank you for being loyal season ticket holders for the Willis Broadway Series. We hope you enjoy Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage and The Illusionists – Live From Broadway.

ELEANOR BERGSTEIN (Writer) is a novelist, screenwriter, producer and director. Her stories have been published in national magazines, ranging from Transatlantic Review to Redbook and Cosmopolitan. Her first novel, Advancing Paul Newman, about women and politics in the 1960s, was published by the Viking Press, and her first movie script was It’s My Turn, starring Jill Clayburgh and Michael Douglas. Her second novel, Ex-Lover, about sexual obsession, was published by Random House. She has worked on a variety of film projects, including the final script revision of Sister Act. She then wrote and directed Let It Be Me, which starred Campbell Scott, Jennifer Beals, Leslie Caron and Patrick Stewart. Her most famous project was one of the most successful independent films of all time, Dirty Dancing. It was the unique continuing response to the story over the years that made her decide to reimagine Dirty Dancing as a stage event.

The multiple viewings by audiences all over the world made her suspect that what the audiences really wanted was to be more physically involved in the story. This would mean that its ultimate form should be one that combined dance and story and music onstage in a new way. It was also her chance to add new scenes not in the movie, as well as songs she had wanted for the movie and been unable to obtain. Ms. Bergstein, through her company Magic Hour Productions, is at work on a new stage musical set in London in the late 1960s, a new work of fiction, and preparing a film to be shot in Rome as well as film to be shot in Slovenia.

WHO’S WHO IN THE CAST ANDREW BASSO (The Escapologist) is Italy’s star escape artist and is fast becoming one of the world’s favorite illusionists. His hero is Harry Houdini and his thrilling escapes take place under water, 150 feet in the air and everywhere in between. Explosives, water boxes, handcuffs, chains, padlocks, straightjackets, cars bursting into flames... his escapes place him within seconds of life and death and have audiences all over the world frozen in suspense and disbelief.

You’ll never catch The Escapologist. He is definitively born to escape. www.AndrewBasso.com

the ability to turn anyone into a loyal fan, whether children and parents or his colleagues - the world’s finest magicians. Yu was recently named Magician of the Year (2014) by the Academy of Magical Arts (AMA). Yu would go on to win numerous magic competitions with his emotional performances.

At age 19, he took first prize in the manipulation category and was the Grand Prix Winner in stage magic at Federation Internationale des Societes Magiques (FISM), a competition that is considered the Olympic games for magicians. Now you see it, now you don’t - meet The Manipulator.

BEN BLAQUE (The Weapon Master) Born and raised in the mid-west of Missouri. Ben Blaque was introduced to magic, variety acts and live performance when he accepted a job working as a stage tech for the Kirby Vanburch show in Branson, Misssouri. It didn’t take him long to fall in love with magic and illusions and the live stage shows that he wanted to create an act for himself. As Protege to Kirby, they both decided to start with the crossbow act. Kirby made a deal with Ben if he learned the act that he would feature him in his show as a special variety act. After 6 years of performing in the Kirby VanBurch show and establishing himself in the crossbow performing world. He moved on to perform all over the United States, many beautiful countries and live TV shows including season 7 of Americas got Talent, and NBC 2015 show “I Can Do That”.

KEVIN JAMES (The Inventor) is one of today’s most ground breaking and innovative illusionists. Some of his ideas have made it into the shows of Penn & Teller, David Copperfield and Doug Henning. He is an inventor and collector of the strange and unusual.

Performing on Broadway is a highlight of his career, right next to his performance at the White House.

Kevin believes he has a solemn responsibility to remind people of that important sense wonder they felt as a child. Whether he’s holding a rose or swinging a chain saw, anything is possible with The Inventor.

DAN SPERRY (The Anti-Conjuror) With millions of hits on YouTube and hundreds of thousands of loyal online followers, Dan Sperry the Anti-Conjuror has become a social media phenomenon and one of the most sought after live performers working today. His totally unique style of shock illusion initially captured the imagination of his fans, it is his hilariously eccentric and shocking routines that have grown his popularity across the globe. From headlining sell-out tours to guest starring on popular TV shows, Dan Sperry blends a bizarre mixture of comedy magic and mayhem into an utterly original performance that is as unique as it is entertaining.

JONATHAN GOODWIN (The Daredevil) British born Stunt performer and Escape Artist Jonathan, is widely considered the greatest theatrical daredevil in the world. Goodwin has been hanged, buried alive, hung by his toes from helicopters, burned at the stake, attacked by sharks, and bitten by rattlesnakes to name just a few of his terrifying and insane stunts. Goodwin has been called “the closest thing this planet boasts to a real life superhero”, He is an accomplished knife thrower, archer, escape artist, fakir, martial artist, free diver, aerialist, and rock climber. Unlike the other performers in the show, Jonathan is not a magician or illusionist and everything you see him do is very very real. www.Jonathan-Goodwin.com Twitter:@Dangerman

AMANDA ESPOSITO (Magic Assistant) is thrilled to be joining the cast of The Illusionists for her first national tour. She has danced with Ballet Hispanico 2 (BHdos) and Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, and has performed works by Robert Battle, William Forsythe, Ray Mercer, David Parsons, Pedro Ruiz, Matthew Rushing, Paul Taylor, Eduardo Vilaro, William Whitener, and others.

WHO’S WHO IN THE CAST productions. They repeated the critical and box office success over the coming years with Aerial Dreams and Adrenaline, again launching at the Sydney Opera House followed by extensive touring through Australasia and beyond. Recognizing the absence in the market of a high-quality touring magic show, the company created a production showcasing seven of the world’s best magicians, The Illusionists — Witness the Impossible. The show sold out its Sydney Opera House season before opening, a pattern that would follow throughout arenas and theatres in more than 50 cities in 15 countries within its first two years. The London season was filmed live and aired throughout the UK and is available on DVD. Following the show’s unprecedented success, The Illusionists 2.0 — The Next Generation of Magic, was created to cater to the demand for a sequel, and a brand new show, The Illusionists 1903 — The Golden Age of Magic, premieres in Australia in early January. During this time, their critically acclaimed production, Le Noir — The Dark Side of Cirque, has been setting imaginations and box office records on fire. Each venue it plays around the world, ranging from 500 to 15,000, is transformed like never before, so audiences experience the jaw-dropping, daredevil talents of the world’s finest circus artists and acrobats in the round, up close and personal.

DES MOINES PERFORMING ARTS

A Sensational Summer at Des Moines Performing Arts Des Moines Performing Arts is known for presenting world-class productions, but we also spearhead an eclectic mix of projects, events and initiatives.

T

his summer was no exception, as Des Moines Performing Arts celebrated an opening of a very special space, hosted a Tony Award®-winning composer at Yankee

Cowles Commons was a multi-year, $12 million renovation project led by Des Moines Performing Arts, who also operates the space.

Doodle Pops and hammered our way through a two-phase renovation project at the Des Moines Civic Center. Plus, the Education Team used their improvisational skills for summer theater camps!

Cowles Commons Opens to the Public Cowles Commons, the newly renovated outdoor space across the street from the Civic Center, opened to the public in June. Since then, kids and adults alike have splashed in the Lauridsen Fountain, walked through the Peace Garden and enjoyed community events, like Downtown Community Yoga, National Night Out and the Belin Quartet.

The final component of the Cowles Commons renovation project is the installation of the suspended, illuminated LED lights sculpture

by San Francisco-based artist Jim Campbell, which will take place this fall.

Composer Jason Robert Brown conducted selections from The Bridges of Madison County at Yankee Doodle Pops which were “To Build a Home,” “It All Fades Away” and “One Second and a Million Miles.”

IN THE SPOTLIGHT Jason Robert Brown Conducts at Yankee Doodle Pops

Additionally, treatments at the side walls and rear wall of the Civic Center provide a clearer, more enveloping sound for the audience.

On Thursday, July 2, Des Moines Performing Arts and the Des Moines Symphony hosted three-time Tony Award®-winning composer Jason Robert Brown at the Des Moines Symphony’s 22nd annual Yankee Doodle Pops, Iowa’s largest single-day concert event on the Iowa State Capitol’s West Terrace. More than 100,000 concert goers watched Brown conduct the Orchestra and soloists Christiane Noll and Hugh Panaro in selections from Broadway’s The Bridges of Madison County, for which he wrote the music, lyrics and orchestrations.

The second phase of the project begins next summer when the height of the proscenium arch is increased and the plaster “eyebrow” over the forestage is reshaped. These changes will provide an even more robust and exciting sound for the audience.

The Camps Must Go On Since the Civic Center was a construction zone due to the Orchestra Shell installation, Des Moines Performing Arts’ Education Team had to move their location of this season’s summer theater camps. They improvised by offering three camps at a variety of locations in the Des Moines area – DanzArts Studio, the Temple Theater and Grand View University. A total of 87 campers experienced 10-Minute Plays, the STAGEright Broadway Experience and Aladdin summer theater camps.

The Bridges of Madison County, winner of the 2014 Tony Award for Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations, is famously set in Iowa and will launch its national tour at the Civic Center Nov. 28 – Dec. 5, 2015.

Making Beautiful Music Des Moines Performing Arts and the Des Moines Symphony have partnered on a two-phase acoustical project that will create a more balanced, pleasing and exciting acoustical experience for all audiences at the Civic Center.

We’re always up to something at Des Moines Performing Arts! Check us out at:

The first phase of the project started in June and wrapped up this month with the installation of a new Orchestra Shell, the movable walls and ceiling that surround the Orchestra at the Des Moines Symphony concerts. You’ll notice the beautiful natural maple finish immediately, and you’ll hear the effect of the stiff but lightweight honeycomb panels behind the wood.

/DesMoinesPerformingArts | @dsmperforming DesMoinesPerformingArts.org Nicholas Wharff, age 13, of West Des Moines, showcases his talents at the Aladdin summer theater camp.

The new Orchestra Shell is designed to project sound more robustly and evenly, especially at low frequencies (It’s all about the bass!). The Orchestra Shell also improves hearing conditions on stage, so the musicians can focus on making beautiful music.
