honored to have been given this amazing opportunity to return to my roots. In November of 1971, when I was 13, my family moved to Colorado from South Carolina. Not knowing where in the area we wanted to settle, we rented a twobedroom apartment in Arvada – in a building that still stands, just across 68th Street from where the Arvada Center is now. My first school in Colorado was what was then known as Arvada Junior High, located across Ralston Road from today’s City Hall. It was there that I had my first experience as an actor - playing a teddy bear. We didn’t end up living in Arvada, but I continued to seek artistic opportunities here; in fact, I was in several plays at the Arvada Festival Playhouse. And, I watched from a distance as the Arvada Center was being built. In the spring of 1976, my senior year at Golden High, auditions were announced for the Center’s first theatre season, and I signed up. I wasn’t cast in the very first play, Anything Goes, because I couldn’t tap dance, but they did hire me for the second production – The Contrast, considered the first American play. I had no lines, and The Denver Post review called me a “disturbing element” – but I received my first paycheck as a working artist, a total of $30. Over the next three years, I acted in several plays here, and again after graduate school in 1983. When I returned to Colorado once again in 2006, to run the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, I was amazed at how the Center had grown. When offered the chance to direct The Lion in Winter in 2011, I accepted immediately. Last year, when the Shakespeare Festival co-produced Twelfth Night with the Center, I again directed. I was hooked – and when the opportunity arose to apply for the position of Executive Director, I was thrilled – and I remain so, hardly able to believe my good fortune. I want to assure you that I will always be a passionate advocate for the Center; I see tremendous potential here to build on the wonderful work of the many people who have given so much to this place for almost 40 years. That’s my job, and I couldn’t be happier to have it! Enjoy the show, take in the galleries, sign up for a class – it’s your Center, and it exists to serve you.

Everyone has a voice. Shouldn’t yours be heard? Don’t take your voice for granted. A weak, breathy, hoarse, scratchy, strained, or graveled voice often indicates a problem. Hoarseness lasting longer than a few weeks probably isn’t “laryngitis.” Dr. J. Michael King treats the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat disorders. He is an otolaryngologist and a fellowship-trained laryngologist (voice specialist) providing care to singers, performers, and professional speakers. Dr. King is one of a few specialists in the Western region performing minimally invasive ofﬁce procedures, balloon sinuplasty, and laser surgery.

DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE!

t all started with Miguel de CerIconsidered vantes, who wrote what is generally the first European novel, Don Quixote, in 1605, after having been thrown in prison at least twice by the Inquisition. As the musical recounts in its own metaphorical way, Cervantes is locked up with murderers and thieves and must defend his life, which he does by distracting this rough lot, convincing them that reality is other than they have come to understand it. For his trial, Cervantes asks his fellow inmates to perform a play about Don Quixote. These two interwoven stories—Cervantes’ real life imprisonment and the fictional Quixote in La Mancha—are con-

trasted in a way that makes Man of La Mancha a theatrical hybrid, as director Rod Lansberry explains: “The musical part is the ‘play within the play,’ but when Cervantes is in the prison, there is no music. So, it’s only when he becomes Quixote that Man of La Mancha becomes a musical.” The most famous song in the score for Man of La Mancha is, of course, “The Impossible Dream (The Quest),” which has been done by so many artists that it has become a challenge to keep it fresh in the context of the musical. “Everybody in the past 40 years has sung it at one point or another,” says Lansberry. “So, one of my goals is to get away from that. It’s not just a pretty song; it’s got to come from

somewhere. The emotional truth of the moment is important. It’s what Quixote believes; it’s what his goals are.” Given the rough life that Cervantes experienced, it’s no wonder that he was driven to create a separate reality. Being an idealist passionately devoted to creating a better world puts Cervantes with some heady company—prophets, saints, and avatars come to mind—but this writer was a horse of a different color. Despite his reputation as a novelist, Cervantes was, first and foremost, a playwright; though only two of his scripts survive. It seems the Inquisition was very thorough in burning copies of about two dozen plays. We can only imagine the thoroughness with which

A r t s c e n t r i c

Cervantes must have excoriated those who sought, with an iron fist, to suppress his sharp critiques. Perhaps because the first part of Don Quixote gained widespread popularity so quickly, and was followed 10 years later with an even more polished conclusion, and because Don Quixote is ostensibly a satire on chivalry, it survived and thrived outside the reach of the Church, which certainly considered it a threat. Mario Vargas Llosa, Peruvian novelist and 2010 Nobel laureate in literature, explains: “I don’t think there is a great fiction that is not an essential contradiction of the world as it is. … This is the great contribution of the novel to human progress. You know, the Inqui-

S p r i n g

sition forbade the novel for 300 years in Latin America. I think they understood very well the seditious consequence that fiction can have on the human psyche.” In a sense, then, the success of Man of La Mancha is “The Impossible Dream” realized, as Cervantes’ biting satire continues to charm audiences. The original 1965 Broadway production ran for 2,328 performances and won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Since then, it’s been revived four times on Broadway and produced countless times around the world, becoming one of the most enduring works of musical theatre. As it turns out, Cervantes gets the last laugh and then some.

Heidi Jung: Black and White Jeffco Alumni Exhibition April 5-May 5, 2013 Upper Gallery The Arvada Center welcomes back Heidi Jung who began her career right here at the Arvada Center’s Jefferson County High School Art Exhibition in 1989. Now a thriving professional artist, she returns this spring in her solo exhibition. Jung’s works represent her classic yet haunting monochromatic botanical paintings and drawings. This exhibition will display her largest body of work to date, as well as collaborative pieces with the teacher who inspired her at the age of 15. Jung states “My connection to nature is both highly personal and unconventional. Incorporating ink and charcoal on vellum, I strive to create an unspoken relationship between the image and the viewer.” Opening reception: April 12, 2013, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Free and open to the public.

Scot Odendahl: On the Roadside Jeffco Teacher Solo Exhibition April 12-May 12, 2013 Theater Gallery to direct the viewer to see the elements he considers most interesting in his subjects. Odendahl states “I am a huge font nerd. As a graphic designer, it was the design element I found most important.” The prints in this exhibition document road signs, particularly older signs, as they serve as historical documentation of a time when signs were created without the use of computerized fonts. Opening reception: April 12, 2013, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Free and open to the public.

In the annual spring competitive exhibition, guild members will show approximately 50 artworks. The Arvada Fine Arts Guild sponsors three art exhibits a year for its members. The Membership Show in March, the Spring Exhibition, which is held at the Arvada Center in late May and early June, and the Echter’s Show in November, co-sponsored by the AFAG and MAG (Mountainside Arts Guild). The guild also organizes three workshops a year, which are taught by experienced, award winning artists. Guild membership is open to artists and those interested in the arts.

Friday and Saturday, April 26 and 27, 2013, 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Sunday, April 28, 2013, 12:00 - 5:00 p.m. This rare exhibition and sale of Nan and Jim McKinnell's personal ceramic and art collection will feature their own work and that of other artists, encompassing a collection of over 1,000 pieces of pottery and art. A portion of the proceeds from this sale will benefit the Arvada Center Ceramics Studio and the McKinnell Endowment Fund at Arapahoe Community College. Well-known for their involvement in the ceramic renaissance of the mid-twentieth century, the McKinnells were dedicated to creating pots. They were also serious collectors of pottery and art made by talented teachers, students, and friends, many of whom were leaders in the ceramic and art movements of the past 60 years. In addition to their personal ceramic collection, a newly-revealed and extensive collection of two-dimensional fine art will be on exhibit for the first time. This exciting group of original paintings, lithographs, and limited-edition prints provides insight into the depth of the McKinnells' interest in many artistic media. Volumes from their personal library of ceramic and fine art books will also be available. For a complete list of artists go to: www.mckinnellceramics.com.

T H E T I E S T H AT B I N D

ow people deal with adversity is H the bread and butter of theatre, in good times as well as bad. As Mel Brooks said in that famous 1961 routine, The 2,000 Year Old Man, with Carl Reiner, “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.” When Horton Foote set Dividing the Estate in 1987, the U.S. and the world had just suffered the second greatest stock market crash in history, though by the time the show premiered at the McCarter Theatre (Princeton, NJ) in 1989, the financial debacle was a fading memory for most. Two decades later, history reversed itself, as Foote’s daughter, Hallie, recalls in a recent phone conversation: “When people saw the play when we first did it at Primary Stages (offBroadway) in 2007, the economy was still on the upswing, and then in 2008, it was a very different time—we were getting ready to go to the Booth with the Lincoln Center Theatre Company—we were in the throes of this plummeting stock market; the economy was about to collapse; there was this great uncertainty, and here we were doing this play , a very funny play; but it has undertones, a darkness.” What could be funny about losing your net worth? Well, as Brooks said,

if it’s happening to someone else—in this case, the Gordon family of Harrison, Texas—it’s funny. As it turns out, what is funny is not the dire economic straits, but what they bring out in the people who are affected by them—and the Gordon’s have plenty of idiosyncrasies to go around. As director A. Lee Massaro sees it, “The play is really driven by the characters and where they’re rooted. It takes place in the ‘80’s, and it’s pertinent to our current situation, but that’s peripheral to the core issues of the play.” In other words, it’s the characters and their behaviors, not the circumstances, that define the drama. This is particularly true in the work of Horton Foote, who is known for his welldrawn characters and down-to-earth dialogue. As Hallie recalls: “That comes from listening to his family. They’d all be sitting around talking and he’d often be the youngest person in the room. He didn’t mind being around adults; it was almost like he was invisible to them, so he heard all kinds of things. And then he had that kind of memory that stored everything; so eventually, through his own filter—it’s always your point-of-view, not a verbatim accounting—it became his version of what he observed, how it impressed him; and then he wrote about it.” And write he did, garnering two Oscars for To Kill a Mockingbird (1963, adapted screenplay) and Tender Mercies (1983, original screenplay), the Pulitzer Prize for drama for The Young Man from Atlanta (1995), and an Emmy for his adaptation of William Faulkner’s Old Man (1997, Outstanding Writing of a Miniseries or Special). In Dividing the Estate, as with some of his plays, Foote sets the story in Harrison, Texas, a fictional town

based on his home town of Wharton, Texas, where folks still speculate on the real life models for his stories. But as Hallie notes, her father liberally invoked his poetic license: “He would combine things, hear a story, think about writing about it, then not being able to write about it, and then he’d write about it in a different way.” As the aging matriarch of the Gordon clan, Stella, approaches the next life, the family gathers to debate how best to leverage what remains of the value of their once grand family estate, hit hard by the vanishing money supply and the markets that collapsed in its wake. Stella’s daughter (Lucille) and son (Lewis) still live in the big house, with their longtime servant (Doug), while Lucille’s daughter (Mary Jo), her husband (Bob), and young adult children (Emily and Sissie) come to visit from Houston. Death, both impending and de facto, intervenes, heightening the family dysfunction. Add a contemporary economic meltdown, Southern social mores, and some sugary dialect, and you’re in for an evening of heartfelt laughs and multifaceted realizations.

THE FRONT RANGE YOUTH SYMPHONY, AN EXCITING TRADITION AT THE ARVADA CENTER. he Front Range Youth Symphony is an organization of three groups rehearsing and performing at the Arvada Center. Since its inception in 1990, the three groups serve over one hundred students each season from age 8 through 18. The three groups include the Concert Strings, with around 35 advanced string students, the Chamber Orchestra a group of almost 40 students playing exceptional string chamber music, and the Youth Symphony including over 40 string, woodwind, brass, and percussion students, some of the finest young musicians in the Denver-metro area. These students come to audition each year in May to be in the group starting with week long summer camps in August, and the formal season beginning at the end of August and running through the end of April. Students rehearse one evening a week to prepare for three concerts held at the Arvada Center. Our Spring Concert, the Annual Teacher Appreciation Concert, will feature all three groups performing works by Mozart, Smetana, Tchaikovsky, as well as a piece by the rock group,

Led Zeppelin. The concert honors teachers invited by each student. What makes the Front Range Youth Symphony different from some of the other youth symphonies in the area? The process of learning the music and creating an ensemble sound is emphasized. Through the instruction of two exceptional conductors, Danielle Johnson and Stephanie Texera, the group excels at learning what it means to be a team player to create music together. While each of the students involved is an accomplished musician themselves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the blending and unique coordination of all the elements of a piece that creates the beauty and art of music. Please come and hear our next concert on April 25th at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $10 general admission and can be purchased at the Arvada Center in person, by phone, 720-898-7200, or on the web, www.arvadacenter.org. If you have a student who would like to be a member, please contact Keith Ewer, the Youth Symphony Coordinator, at 720-898-7238 or e-mail him at keith-e@arvada,org.
