From live performances to art therapy and educational outreach, NB|AZ and our nearly 1,000 employees statewide view our responsibility to the growth of the cultural community as important as any financial investment.

Mark Young President and CEO National Bank of Arizona Member FDIC

From bank executives serving on performing and fine arts boards to chairing fundraising efforts, NB|AZ employees have been a constant source of support since the bank was founded in Tucson over 30 years ago. Today, the bank’s commitment to the arts community goes far beyond volunteering and sponsorship. We are grateful to the arts community for the opportunity to support their efforts. We are equally proud of our partnership with Act One to help bring the arts to as many of our fellow Arizonans as possible. It is truly an honor.

ACT ONE: PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE ARTS Act One is honored to be the recipient of the proceeds generated by ON Stage, a collaborative magazine that brings artsgoers the best of this season’s arts offerings. It is thanks to ON Media, National Bank of Arizona, the arts partners featured here and ON Stage advertisers that this free publication is made available to the public.

ACCESS TO THE ARTS Do you remember climbing on a school bus and going on an arts field trip? In Arizona, schools increasingly do not have funds for field trips. This is especially the case for Title 1 schools in lower-income communities. Act One is a charitable organization founded in 2011 to provide lower-income school children the opportunity to experience arts performances and exhibitions through field trips to professional theaters and museums. In the 2018-19 school year, Act One has capacity to bring nearly 9,000 K-12 students on educational arts field trips in Tucson. Statewide, Act One partners with more than 50 arts organizations to bring students on field trips. Because Act One pays for both the tickets and the busing, students who previously didn’t attend field trips are able to experience the arts.

Among the nearly 8,000 students who attended field trips with Act One last school year were 161 4th and 5th graders and 22 chaperones from Lynn Urquides Elementary in East Tucson, where 91 percent of students receive free or reduced-price lunches. The students went to Centennial Hall at the University of Arizona and saw MOMIX: Opus Cactus presented by UA Presents. For many students, it was their first time on a college campus. “The students were able to see something new that they normally would not have seen,” says Rebecca Whiteaker, a 5th grade teacher from the school. “It showed them a whole new world of things.”

ACT ONE NONPROFIT BENEFICIARY

CULTURE PASSES FOR ALL In addition to its field trip program, Act One also manages the Act One Culture Pass, which provides opportunities for nearly 50,000 people to attend Tucson arts and cultural destinations and performances for free. Culture Passes are available at 11 Pima County Public Libraries and can be checked out by library card holders. Visit act1az.org/ culture-pass for more information.

SUPPORT ACT ONE! Act One depends on the generosity of donors to provide the funding to bring more than 46,000 Arizona students on educational arts field trips. For as little as $10, you can sponsor one child on an arts field trip. Learn more about Act One at act1az.org or call (602) 343-6239.

2018-19 TUCSON PERFORMING ARTS SEASON PREVIEW As one curtain lowers on summer, another raises to kick-off the next performing arts season. The 2018-19 season promises to be even more exciting than last, with performances ranging from theater to symphony to dance — and more. The robust and varied performance schedule allows for something to fill your calendar almost every day, no matter your preferred type of artistic performance.

THEATER

Drama, comedy, mystery and more — this season’s shows have it all. ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY explores the American experience with six shows, including Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End, The Music Man and American Mariachi. For those dreaming of Broadway, there’s no need to travel to New York. BROADWAY

IN TUCSON brings nationally renowned productions here, so you can see what all the buzz is about with Waitress, laugh during Something Rotten! or catch the longtime favorite, CATS. ARIZONA REPERATORY THEATRE offers the chance to see rising stars before they become household names. The six-show season kicks off with the humorous play Like Heaven, and later closes with the Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening. Meanwhile, THE ROGUE THEATRE takes on such time-honored tales as Much Ado About Nothing and The Crucible.

DANCE

Be moved — and inspired to dance — by the graceful performances of dancers at three Tucson favorites. The contemporary dance company ARTIFACT DANCE PROJECT fuses performance art with storytelling in its productions, including this season’s performance of The Oval Portrait by Edgar Allen Poe. At BALLET TUCSON, the themes and genres vary. Catch the ever-popular holiday classic The Nutcracker and a triple bill of works at the Fall Concert. Immerse yourself in a world-class repertoire created by both UA Dance Faculty and

SEASON PREVIEW renowned choreographers from around the globe at UA SCHOOL OF DANCE. Spotlights include season opener Premium Blend, which brings together the work of two of the “greats” — Martha Graham’s Panorama and George Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco.

MUSIC

Long-running orchestra TUCSON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA celebrates its 90th season with a stunning selection of performances. Powerhouse and Tony Awardwinner Kristin Chenoweth joins for one night, Thanksgiving brings STAR WARS: New Hope, and the symphony takes on the Best of the Eagles as part of its SuperPops! series. Feel the draw and power of the choral music of Scandinavia and the Baltics in Northern Lights, part of TRUE CONCORD ORCHESTRA’s critically acclaimed performances. Later in the season, the orchestra takes on one of the most ambitious musical compositions of all time — J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. At the same time, SOUTHERN ARIZONA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA marks its 40th season with a lineup of classical yet whimsical music, with many guest soloists joining the orchestra throughout the season. Shows range from the classic Brahms’ Double Concerto for Violin and Cello to the lighter The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Expanding its offerings, ARIZONA OPERA will not only perform its signature Main Stage Series (including La Traviata and Silent Night), but the new McDougall Arizona Opera RED Series, a selection of newer works (such as the gritty and surreal Maria de Buenos Aires) presented in more intimate venues, such as Tucson’s Temple of Music and Art. UA PRESENTS offers a selection of singers, classical music and dance. See country star Scott McCreery, GRAMMY Award-winner Ana Maria Martinez and The Martha Graham Project. At FOX TUCSON THEATRE, there’s truly something for every age — concerts range from Melissa Etheridge and Joan Baez, shows include A Magical Cirque Christmas, and kids are thrilled with Sesame Street Live! C is for Celebration. Festivals also abound, with TUCSON DESERT SONG FEST from January 16-February 5 and TUCSON JAZZ FESTIVAL from January 11-21. The first celebrates Latin rhythms, bringing world-class vocal artists to collaborate with 15 of Tucson’s performing arts organizations. The second celebrates jazz with artists including 14-year-old pianist Joey Alexander and Bobby McFerrin.

ARIZONA OPERA'S BLAZINGBRIGHT 2018/2019 SEASON

ARIZONA OPERA ARTS PARTNER

MARIA DE BUENOS AIRES I JEFF ROFFMAN OF THE ATLANTA OPERA

Think passion, drama, love.... Think sexy. That’s how Arizona Opera Head of Music Christopher Cano describes the McDougall Arizona Opera RED Series, coming in the 2018-19 season. “We want to introduce Arizona to newer works in more intimate venues,” says Cano, “so for the first time we’re performing two operas in downtown Phoenix’s Herberger Theater Center and Tucson’s Temple of Music and Art.” Arizona Opera adds the McDougall RED to its more traditional Main Stage Series, which features three grand operas at Symphony Hall in Phoenix and Tucson Music Hall. The McDougall RED launches with the gritty and surreal Maria de Buenos Aires (September 28-30 Phoenix Herberger/ October 6-7 Tucson Temple) — “a modern classic by great tango master Astor Piazzolla

and poet Horacio Ferrer,” says Joseph Specter, president and general director. “It’s a dark, seductive piece about redemption.” The Spanish-language opera premiered in 1968, and director-choreographer John de los Santos created this Arizona Opera coproduction with San Diego Opera. Maria de Buenos Aires’ tiny, versatile cast (three principals with dancers and a small chorus) performs with a tango orchestra including guitar and bandoneon. “It’s a very tight, small show that packs a hell of a punch,” says de los Santos. Soprano Catalina Cuervo is Maria, with Celeste Lanuza as El Duende and baritone Luis Alejandro Orozco. Dense, visceral verse fills the libretto and “every number keeps revealing new colors and new layers — it’s a very moody show,” the director says. Arizona Opera patrons can ON STAGE 2018–2019 |

also celebrate the opening nights of Maria de Buenos Aires at the RED Party in both Phoenix and Tucson with live music and dancing. “Both Maria de Buenos Aires and Charlie Parker’s Yardbird (November 9-11 Phoenix Herberger/November 17-18 Tucson Temple) are about dangerous lives lived dangerously,” says Specter. “They create an atmospheric and psychological space.” With jazz-inflected music from 2015 by Swiss saxophonist Daniel Schnyder and text by Bridgette A. Wimberly, the vignettes of Yardbird take place in the six-hour afterlife limbo following Parker’s death as the musician tries to write one last masterpiece while grappling with addiction. “Schnyder was fascinated with bel canto as jazz riff,” says Joshua Borths, Arizona Opera’s former Director of Education and Community Engagement Emeritus. “Taking these licks, written out just like the cadenzas of the great bel canto operas — what happens if you throw in a blues note instead?”

SILENT NIGHT I PHOTO BY PAT KIRK

Borths says staff members from The Nash, a downtown Phoenix jazz club, are a natural fit and instrumental to the production. Another natural fit for Arizona Opera? Welcoming Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions winner Vanessa Vasquez

back to her hometown in La Traviata (January 25-27 Symphony Hall/February 2-3 Tucson Music Hall. Vasquez — born in Arizona and a graduate of Xavier College Preparatory — sings “Violetta” with fellow soprano Sara Gartland in the opera by Giuseppe Verdi and Francesco Maria Piave. Spring brings the Pulitzer Prize-winning Silent Night (March 1-3 Symphony Hall/ March 9-10 Tucson Music Hall) by Kevin Puts. Silent Night was the composer’s debut opera, adapted in 2011 from the French film Joyeux Noël about the spontaneous Christmas Eve truces of the first World War. “One thing that Silent Night does quite beautifully because of the music is simply ask the audience, ‘Why? Why do we do this again? Why do we continue to go to war? Is there something we can do to stop this?’” says librettist Mark Campbell. The opera features more than half a dozen major roles with verse in five languages. Arizona Opera wraps up its season with a vibrant, energetic cast in The Marriage of Figaro (April 5-7 Symphony Hall/April 13-14 Tucson Music Hall) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte. Directed by Tara Faircloth and starring sopranos Jeanine de Bique and Meechot Marrero as Susanna, it’s “going to be a theatrically vibrant production that the audience is really going

to adore,” says conductor Dean Williamson, who explains that Mozart’s brisk tempos follow Italian language patterns. “Basically, it’s a play set to music, and it should feel like it’s moving at the natural conversational speed.” “From the moment the overture begins until the end of the Act II finale, it never stops,” adds Williamson. “You start to learn and love and care for all of the characters onstage." McDougall RED performances last about 90 minutes, while Main Stage productions run for 2½-3 hours. All Arizona Opera Main Stage and McDougall RED productions feature English supertitles projected above the stage. In late April, Arizona Opera plans an experimental production of Così fan tutte with piano, giving the Studio Artists an opportunity to learn new roles, build their

resumes and gain practical experience. They’ll also perform throughout the season in La Traviata, Silent Night, Charlie Parker’s Yardbird and The Marriage of Figaro. “They’re exceptional talents,” Cano says. Education and outreach events include a mini Magic Flute touring to 50,000-60,000 schoolchildren across Arizona along with five student nights, cultural festivals like OperaCon RED and a recital of WWI-era songs, and Arizona Opera’s book club. “We’re using opera as the springboard for a community engagement celebration,” Borths says. “Everything we do is for the communities we serve across Arizona,” adds Specter, “so of course we want to get it right.” For more information, visit arizonaopera.org.

ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY’S 2018/2019 SEASON, SCENE IN AMERICA, EXPLORES THE WORLD WE LIVE IN ATC’s 52nd season, the first full season reflecting the impact, influence and personal touches of Artistic Director David Ivers at the Herberger Theater Center, features world-class productions created IN and FOR Arizonans. Six stories. Six compelling productions from Arizona’s official state theatre company: Native Gardens, Karen Zacarías’ hilarious new comedy, is anything but neighborly (September 8-29). This is the story of highpowered lawyer Pablo and his wife, Tania, a doctoral student, — both working toward the American Dream — who move into a well-to-do, mostly white neighborhood in the nation’s capital. A delicate disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into a laugh-out-loud border dispute exploring an otherwise hot-button issue through a refreshingly amusing lens. “A true breath of comic fresh air.” – DC Theatre Scene. Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End, by Margaret Engel and Allison Engel, directed by Casey Stangl (October 20-November 10) is a loving tribute to the Ohio wife and mother turned long-time Arizona mother and 18

housewife who made herself into a national superstar as a best-selling author and syndicated journalist. Discover the story behind America’s cherished humorist, who championed women’s lives with wit that sprang from the most unexpected place of all – the truth. “Immensely entertaining.” – TheaterMania. The Music Man, Music and Lyrics by Meredith Willson, Book by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey and directed by David Ivers (December 1-30). The irresistible musical tribute to the power of make-believe

ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY ARTS PARTNER

Things I Know to be True, by Andrew Bovell, directed by Mark Clements (April 20-May 11). Can parents love their children too much? Is it possible not to love them enough? These questions hover over Things I Know to be True, a portrait of a family and the frictions that arise when grown-up children try to push beyond the confines of their loving parents’ expectations. “FIVE STARS! A thing of beauty. An absolute gem.” – Daily Telegraph.

marches onto ATC’s stage with trumpets blaring! By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is American musical theatre at its best. “Even if you're seeing it for the umpteenth time, you can be surprised by the musical's vigor, warmth, uplift and virtually faultless construction. Here is both popular art and a model of musical theater craft.” – The New York Times.

This ATC season also will include the launch of the Arizona Artists Initiative, complemented by the intimate and intriguing Off-script — off-site collaboration events with other national and Arizonabased performing arts organizations. Treat yourself to a season subscription and get the best available seats at the best price. Single tickets will be on sale on a staggered schedule throughout the season. Visit arizonatheatre.org or call the box office at (520) 622-2823.

Two Trains Running, by August Wilson, directed by Lou Bellamy (January 19-February 9). From the writer of Fences, this story of a new president in the White House with racial tensions on the rise is not set in 2018. It’s 1969 — and the Civil Rights Movement is sending tremors through Pittsburgh’s Hill District. Two Trains Running explores a time of extraordinary change — and the ordinary people who get left behind. “Mr. Wilson's most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate heart of history.” – The New York Times. American Mariachi, by José Cruz González (March 9-30). Spending her days caring for her ailing mother, Lucha yearns to break the monotonous routine though a wild idea: an all-girl mariachi band! But it’s the 1970s, and girls can’t be mariachis ... or can they? A heartwarming and hilarious new comedy about music’s power to heal and connect featuring gorgeous live mariachi music.

HEARD A LITTLE TWEET ON THE STREET ABOUT THE FOX TUCSON THEATRE YESTERDAY Editor's note: Enjoy this tongue-in-cheek preview written by C.T. Wren, Fox Tucson Theatre's friend, the cactus wren. Rumor has it that the Fox is rolling out their biggest and best season to date. The sly folks at the Fox are holding some of those details

close to the vest, but no worries my little chickadees — I have a plan to gather every crumb of information out there to share with you! Knowing where all the “little birdies” tend to roost, I started my sleuthing in the canyon. Just a few steps down the path and lo and behold, I got the first tweet for my story from an unabashedly stylish covey, all fashionably decked out in their feathered

best and chirping away. As I inched closer, I got wind of what the fuss was about. “We took too long deciding and now Joan Baez is sold out!” said one particularly plumb bird. “Word is, Melissa Etheridge is also coming and I won’t make the same mistake and miss out on seeing her.” As the group bobbed their heads in agreement, another hen picked up the song, “Another incredible singer-songwriter is coming too, Amos Lee — I think he steals lyrics from the depth of my soul…and his voice!” There was literally an audible sigh from the whole group. Then, the obvious matriarch of the flock, who was watching over her scratching brood close by, said, “Don’t forget about the Fox’s kid-friendly shows. They have a line up that covers entertainment for all sized hatchlings from Sesame Street Live and Erth’s Prehistoric Aquarium.” As one of her little chicks chimed in, “That’s the one with big sea dinosaurs that float right out into the audience!” “That’s right,” said the mom who kept right on going, “and the amazing Chinese Warriors of Peking will bring the beauty and awe of Chinese culture to the stage ... ” “Not to mention they dance with 30

real swords,” Junior piped in once more. Still another said, “And did you see the wondrous Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theatre is coming? They have performing birds live on stage!” This was met with enthusiastic bopping before she went on more timidly “but, I hear they also have rescue dogs and cats!” There was a general flurry of activity with this news, and off they scurried. But I had a start; someone is always singing in the dusty shadows of this desert town. Next, I landed at my favorite watering hole and had the luck of the blue bird on my side because none other than C.S. himself perched right next to me. I didn’t even have to fly at him with my questions I had a bird’s eye view of his planner. A big flock of artists, neatly arranged like ducks in a row: I’m With Her, the fabulous harmonic trio that includes Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins & Aoife O’Donovan, Rickie Lee Jones & Anders Osborne, a tribute to Carole King’s iconic Tapestry Album Live and Under the Streetlamp performing Hip for the Holidays. Don’t you just love those tight harmonies blended together doing holiday favorites? Legendary singer/songwriter John Prine, Don

McLean with special guest Al Stewart, Herb Alpert & Lani Hall, Joan Osborn performing the iconic music of Bob Dylan (that one had a star next to it, I took that to mean that C.S. had his favorites too), Rosanne Cash and Bruce Hornsby — what I wouldn’t give to just grab that list and fly away. I pondered the possibilities until I felt an eagle eye upon me. Thinking quickly, I just smiled, said “Hi Craig!" and took off. Where to next? Downtown is always thriving and not too far as the crow flies. Conversations were abundant among the crowds in the restaurants, bars, and even on the streetcar — I found my next source, a not so rare sighting of a Fox volunteer, enthusiastically willing to share the excitement of what The Fox has in store. She sweetly sang out Ambrosia (you’ll certainly remember “How Much I Feel” and “The Biggest Part of Me” from past mix tapes), Tucson’s own Tony Kishman performing Live & Let Die - The Music of Paul McCartney, hot Latin artists like Benise’s Fuego and Compania Flamenca, the musically

poignant Simon & Garfunkel Story, Trace Bundy-Acoustic Ninja and holiday fare that is as lively as a red cardinal’s tune — like the rock opera, Wizards of Winter, Windham Hill’s Winter Solstice and a Tucson favorite, In the Christmas Mood! It’s likely that the pigeons will crowd the theatre for comedy shows like Whose Live Anyway? and two different actor/comedians — Alan Cumming’s Legal Immigrant Tour and Pitch Perfect’s Adam DeVine. But the wisest of owls will grab seats fast for the Fox Chasing Rainbows Gala headliner, Paula Abdul — now there is a bird worth chirping over! So there you have it, more than a few crumbs of what the Fox has in store. Be sure to keep your beaks to the birdseed, there is always something new being added and finally, remember the old saying about early birds and worms — get your tickets today!

At The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures, over 500 fine scale miniatures and dioramas in the permanent collection tell stories about how we used to live, how diverse cultures live or how we imagine life in fantasylands. Using carefully selected details, miniaturists set a stage for our imagination to conjure up a story. Two upcoming exhibits at the museum emphasize the narrative quality of miniatures. This fall, the museum will present Automata: Miniature Mechanized Narratives. Contemporary automata combine creative storytelling with mechanical ingenuity and problem solving. The wind up of the crank builds the narrative, and then the release reveals the punchline of the story – whimsical, clever, amusing or absurd. This exhibit, from the collection of Tucson metalsmith Michael Croft, includes over 40 miniature machines created by 23 contemporary automata makers from around the world. The exhibit runs October 4–January 27. Ghost Stories and Fairy Tales: Make Believe in Miniature follows on the tail of Automata. Anaheim artist Geoff Mitchell illustrates ghost stories and fairytales using 1/7th scale miniature dioramas. Built in the scale of stop-motion animation sets, Mitchell’s original intention was to make an animation short using miniature. He changed his mind when he recognized the power of the dioramas to spark the viewer’s imagination to fill in the blanks of the story. “I want to create a journey for people,” the artist says. Reminiscent of the Gothic Cinematic style of Tim Burton, these miniatures are both ethereal and enchanting. Ghost Stories and Fairy Tales runs February 2-April 21.

Both of these exhibits are included with general museum admission. For more information visit themintimemachine.org or call (520) 881-0606.

to find your treasure or try your hand at glassblowing: SGS instructors will work with you to make a glass pumpkin of your very own. (Insider’s tip: make a reservation for the make-your-owns, as this is a very popular activity!) The Winter Open House (December 8) features unique, handmade ornaments and glass art gifts. Families get to make their own colorful holiday ornaments, and kids as young as five can get in on the action. Join us on February 8 for the 18th Annual Flame Off. This Iron Chef-style competition pits dozens of torchworking artists against the clock as they work to create a custom piece of glass. Local craft beer, food trucks, and the Sonoran Glass Art Show round out the event!

ABOUT SONORAN GLASS SCHOOL A true Tucson treasure, Sonoran Glass School offers glass art experiences for artists of all ages and abilities. Renowned American studio glass pioneer Tom Philabaum cofounded the school in 2001. For a special offer, visit sonoranglass.org/onmedia.

UA CENTER FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY VISUAL ARTS

THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY IS EXCITED TO PRESENT ITS 2018-19 SEASON OF EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS. This year’s calendar is anchored by Longer Ways to Go: Photographs of the American Road and Richard Avedon: Relationships. Longer Ways to Go, open through November, was inspired by the work of Japanese artist and former Center Artist in Residence Kozo Miyoshi and explores the classic American road trip with a special focus on Route 66. Richard Avedon, opening December 15, brings to the forefront the relationships at play in Avedon’s photos — between the subjects, between the artist and the subjects, and between the artist and the Center. Both exhibitions are complemented by iterations of the new Heritage Gallery as well as a series of programs and event. Make sure to stay tuned to the Center’s website for details of what’s to come! For more information, visit ccp.arizona.edu. 56
