Celebrating Five Years, Looking to the Future By Lisa Rigsby Peterson, Executive Director
As you read this, LTAC staff are hard at work putting the final touches on the 2016–17 Lone Tree Arts Center season, our sixth as a professional presenting and producing theatre. It’s hard to believe that just five short seasons ago, we were under the microscope as area residents and arts patrons wondered what a small, brand-new arts center at the southern edge of the Denver area could possibly add to the mix. Arts in the Afternoon
14
LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
So what have we added to the mix? Here are just a few accomplishments: •P rofessionally-produced plays and musicals, all created right here, in house, by the LTAC team, including acclaimed productions such as The Explorers Club, The 39 Steps, Big River, and Sylvia. •A n outstanding array of intimate performances by national and international touring artists, ranging from Judy Collins and Randy Newman, to The Yellowjackets and SF Jazz Collective, to Broadway stars Brian Stokes Mitchell, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp and Jarrod Spector, to the Takács Quartet and Nathan Gunn. •A strong commitment to presenting the work of leading regional arts partners, including the Colorado Ballet, Opera Colorado, Central City Opera, and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. •E xtensive, creative programs for children and families, ranging from Seedlings for children as young as 1, to Passport to Culture for children from 4 to 10, to accessible performances designed for the entire family. •T he south metro area’s first professional student matinee program, drawing over 8,000 schoolchildren a year from school districts across the metro area. • Groundbreaking programs for seniors, including Arts in the Afternoon, an affordable daytime professional concert series, as well as reduced cost senior matinees of our plays and musicals. • Award-winning, innovative programs for individuals with autism, intellectual or developmental disabilities, and other conditions that make it possible for them and their families to experience the arts as the rest of us do: in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment designed to welcome them back again and again. Our SF Family Tree series has won awards metro-wide and received national attention.
Passport to Culture
Not bad for five years. So what’s next? Over the past year and a half, we have engaged in a thoughtful strategic planning process that helped us focus on what our priorities are for the next five years. Our goal is this: The Lone Tree Arts Center is recognized as a national model for patron-focused arts engagement. Our focus areas to achieve that goal shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has been part of our Lone Tree Arts Center family since we started. We commit ourselves to • Remarkable Programming • The Patron Experience • Our Place in the Community • Professional Stewardship and Planning
The 39 Steps, 2015 Photo: Danny Lam
As we enter our sixth season, I look forward to sharing what we intend to accomplish in each of these focus areas. But first, we pause to celebrate the successes of our first five years, and to thank you for making them possible. With your help, the Lone Tree Arts Center is not only the fastest growing arts center in the state, we are quite possibly one of the most dynamic arts centers in the country.

How Cyrano Lost Its Home How is it possible for a play to be homeless? Technically, the entire theater company is temporarily displaced, which makes a little more sense. When the Boulder Ensemble Theater Company (BETC) heard that their home at the Dairy Center in Boulder would be undergoing serious renovations, they started to seek out other places to stage their productions. We asked Stephen Weitz, the co-founder and Producing Artistic Director (and Cyrano himself) to tell us more about how Cyrano found sa temporary abode here in Lone Tree. BETC is a small non-profit theater company, founded ten years ago and based out of Boulder, CO. Stephen Weitz has been there since the beginning. The company specializes in regional premieres of contemporary plays, as well as adaptations of classics, like Cyrano. In the past few seasons, BETC has won four Daily Camera “Camera’s Eye” awards, a Denver Post Ovation Award, and nine Henry Award nominations, among many others. Throughout their impressive history, the Dairy Center has been their home. The renovations to the Dairy Center have already started, and are expected to last until August. When the BETC got word that the renovations would take place right in the middle of their 10th season, everyone started debating all the different production options in front of them. Even though it sounds like a bit of a nightmare, Stephen said that it turned out to be a really exciting opportunity to enhance their artistic output and tackle some challenges that they hadn’t faced before. During BETC’s 2015-2016 season, they’re collaborating with the Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado – Boulder, performing a site-specific piece around Boulder, and coming here, to Lone Tree! Stephen and Lisa Rigsby Peterson, LTAC’s Executive Director, had known each other for years. He reached out to her to see if she had any interest in a collaboration. Lisa told him that she definitely had interest and to send her a few ideas of what he had in mind. He’d just read an adaptation of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac, a version written by Michael Hollinger and Aaron Posner, which seemed promising. It was a good fit for the theater company and an exciting opportunity for LTAC to expand our programming. Our patrons had been asking for something more classical for a few seasons and this collaboration was a great way to bring in that classic story with a more modern flair. LTAC had the space that the Dairy Center didn’t have and that made it possible to actually bring the production to life. According to Stephen, this production of Cyrano is “something really special.” It has all the hallmarks of the classic story—romance, comedy, adventure, and sword fights—but without the traditional verse that can sometimes bog down a production for a patron who isn’t used to that sort of language. It’s a modern version of a story that’s endured for centuries. It’s one of his favorite plays, so assuming the role of the title character is something very special for him. With a fantastic cast and design team, both LTAC and BETC are excited to be able to bring this production to life for our patrons. Stephen, personally, is excited to be able to introduce our patrons to BETC and to perform one of his favorite plays in LTAC’s beautiful theater. It’s a great collaboration that is not to be missed! Come and see Stephen and the BETC in Cyrano from April 21–30.

Coral Kingdoms and Empires of Ice With David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes April 8 at 8:00pm
This program is presented in association with National Geographic Live, bringing the National Geographic experience to global audiences, while celebrating the power of science, exploration, and storytelling to change our world.
Sponsored by:
David Doubilet has a long and intimate vision into the sea. He began snorkeling at age 8 at summer camp in the Adirondacks and by age 12, he was making pictures underwater using a Brownie Hawkeye camera stuffed into a rubber anesthesiologist bag. The bag filled with air and it was like trying to submerge the Hindenburg. The pictures were barely recognizable. David has long since mastered the techniques of working with water and light to become one of the world’s most celebrated underwater photographers and a contributing photographer for National Geographic magazine, where he has published nearly 70 stories since his first assignment in 1971. David has spent five decades under the surface in the far corners of the world from interior Africa, remote tropical coral reefs, rich temperate seas, and recent projects in the northern and southern ice. David’s personal challenge is to create a visual voice for the world’s oceans and to connect people to the incredible beauty and silent devastation happening within the invisible world below. David is a contributing editor for several publications and an author of 12 titles including the awardwinning Water Light Time. His photographic awards include numerous Picture of the Year, BBC Wildlife, Communication Arts, and World Press awards. David is a member of the Academy of Achievement, Royal Photographic Society, International League of Conservation Photographers, International Diving Hall of Fame, and a Trustee of the Shark Research Institute. David was named a National Geographic Contributing Photographer-in-Residence in 2001. He is honored to be a Rolex Ambassador and recipient of the prestigious Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award and Lennart Nilsson Award for Scientific Photography. David lives with his wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, in Clayton, NY, a small river town in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. Jennifer Hayes is an aquatic biologist and photojournalist specializing in natural history and marine environments. Jen Hayes and David Doubilet collaborate as a photographic team above and below water on project development, story production, feature articles, and books. Jennifer is the editor and author of numerous articles on marine environments, with images appearing in countless books, advertising campaigns, and publications such as National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Sport Diver, DIVE Magazine, Diver, People, Alert Diver, and Ocean Geographic. She is co-author/photographer for Face to Face with Sharks by National Geographic Books and an honorary editor for Ocean Geographic magazine. Jennifer’s passion for the study and conservation of primitive fishes led to graduate degrees in zoology and marine biology. Her research has included shark exploitation and finning in the western North Atlantic and the life history and population dynamics of sturgeon species. Jen is a Trustee for the Shark Research Institute and a Fellow National member of the Explorers Club. Jen and David co-own their studio and stock photography company, Undersea Images Inc., located on the St. Lawrence River in Clayton, New York.

“I Hate Hamlet,” Colorado Shakespeare Festival, 2014 Photo: Zachary Andrews
Who is... Geoffrey Kent “Having a sword in my hand felt like my calling.” That’s what Geoffrey Kent says of the start of his career in stage combat choreography. It’s not something he ever thought he’d do for a living, but now, twenty years later, he’s made a career of it. Kent choreographed the Boulder Theater Ensemble’s production of Cyrano, with performances at LTAC April 21-30. In college, Geoffrey majored in theater but realized that he “wasn’t as good of an actor as the rest of the class.” But he found his place in a stage combat workshop. The physical part of acting is what always appealed most to Geoffrey, so having a sword in hand just felt right. Originally, stage combat was just a bit of a hobby. But the hobby turned into small theaters and high schools asking for help to choreograph combat, which turned into teaching. Geoffrey landed at the National Theatre Conservatory, a graduate program under the Denver Center Theater Company that sadly closed in 2012. While teaching at the Conservatory, Geoffrey started to choreograph for the Denver Center. Without ever really meaning to, Geoffrey had found himself a career as a combat choreographer. It actually takes a lot of studying to choreograph a proper fight. Geoffrey has to do a lot of research before swords ever are in actors’ hands. For Cyrano in particular, he had to research the role of dueling in the time period (1640, for those of you who don’t remember your reading from high school). He looked at documents and pictures from the time period to get ideas of what duels looked like. He then looked to the script and the direction provided there. Cyrano composes a poem during the fight and the poem itself gave a lot of direction

on the sort of movement that should be occurring on stage. But the fun really starts when the actors and the director comes into play. Everyone works with each other and with the script to bring the best fight possible to life. Geoffrey says that the hardest part of choreographing a routine is the collaboration aspect. He has to create a fight that’s safe for the actors to engage in but also thrilling for the audience to watch. Once he’s in the room with the actors and the director, he also has to take into account everyone’s strengths, weaknesses, and opinions to help shape the combat. But the collaboration is also his favorite part of choreographing a fight. He says, “the actual fight is a complex dance of everyone’s ideas coming together.” Cyrano is one of his favorite shows to work on, and especially this production of the show. Geoffrey likes to look for a “dynamic piece of action that tells a complicated story.” He likes that audiences learn something about the character of Cyrano through the fight—it’s a blend of intelligence and physical strength. He also choreographs combat for a lot of Shakespearean plays with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival and enjoys that everything in Shakespeare is so high stakes; everything is life and death. He’s excited to be working on Cyrano with this cast. He’s worked with Stephen Weitz and Benaiah Anderson for years and considers them to be two of the best swordsmen in Colorado. It presents a unique sort of challenge to choreograph for actors who could do anything and everything that Geoffrey asks of them. Come see Cyrano on April 21–30!

Cherish the Ladies “It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do,” says the Boston Globe about Cherish the Ladies, the long-running, Grammy-nominated, Irish-American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a maledominated Irish music scene and has since toured the world. Cherish the Ladies is now among the busiest, best, and most popular Irish music groups in the world. Now celebrating 30 years on the road, the ensemble has performed its rousing Irish music with extraordinary step dancers at the White House and the Olympics. The all-female band was named Best Musical Group of the Year by the BBC and the Top North American Celtic act by NPR Radio’s “Thistle and Shamrock” program. They have 16 albums including An Irish Homecoming, a live recording of their Emmy Award-winning public television special that aired across America and Ireland. Named after a popular Irish traditional jig, Cherish the Ladies has shown that Irish traditional music from America remains a vibrant, diasporic marvel. The Ladies are first generation IrishAmerican women with pride in their roots, terrific senses of humor, and heaps of music in their fingers and toes. Irish traditional music in the United States has a long and varied history, both in recording culture and live performances. Emigrants from Ireland have brought their instruments and repertoire to the U.S. since the earliest days of European colonization of the New World. The history of musicians from Ireland taking up residency in New York and beyond is one

side of the story. Another is the learning and playing of Irish music by first and second generation Irish-Americans. And yet another is the widespread interest in the music by Americans from every background. In the wake of the Depression and World War II, traditional Irish music in New York was belittled by show band culture, but performers kept the tradition alive, and were teachers of the music to Irish Americans. Many great Irish American performers including Andy McGann, Brian Conway, Jerry O'Sullivan, Liz Carroll, Billy McComiskey, and Joanie Madden would rise to achieve a level of accomplishment in the traditional music usually associated with native Irish. The Ladies dust the perceived cobwebs off traditional music by presenting it in a new light, with a mixture of first class, “kick-ass” musicianship, sensational singing, dynamic dancing, and infectious humor—without losing respect for their musical roots. Joanie Madden leads Cherish the Ladies on whistles, flute, and harmony vocals, and with the rest of the band, creates an evening of virtuosic music with instrumental talents, beautiful vocals, captivating arrangements, and stunning step dancing. “[The band] expands the annals of Irish music in America… the music is passionate, tender, and rambunctious,” says Jon Pareles of The New York Times. Make your St. Patrick’s Day celebration plans now with Cherish the Ladies at LTAC for a one-night-only performance that will have you “stepping” in your seat!

SCFD: A Generation of Arts and Culture In 1989, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) burst into existence thanks to the support of metro area residents committed to ensuring the future of such treasured institutions as the Denver Zoo, the Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Art Museum, and the Denver Botanic Gardens. By approving a one half of one percent sales tax, voters helped guarantee that not only those organizations, but dozens and dozens of other arts and cultural organizations would receive the support they needed to help them grow. Now, a generation later, residents throughout the metro area are sharing in the bounty that SCFD has made possible. Millions of families bring their children to the Zoo, Children’s Museum, and the Museum of Nature and Science each year. School buses from every district in the region converge at the downtown Denver Performing Arts Complex to bring arts and culture to life for tens of thousands of students each year. Every single school in the SCFD District has received an in-school program from some SCFD-funded organization. Date nights happen at late night events at area museums and arts groups. Seniors gather together in places like the Lone Tree Arts Center to keep the arts central to their lives. For the sales tax equivalent of about $10 per person per year, we all benefit from the riches of the SCFD. World-class exhibits like the Chihuly display at the Botanic Gardens, the upcoming Star Wars costume exhibit at the Art Musuem, and a 21st century zoo are all high-profile examples of how SCFD funds have brought outstanding experiences to metro area residents. At the Lone Tree Arts Center, we have used our SCFD funding to celebrate the generations that we serve through our programs. From Seedlings for the very youngest audience members and their parents, to Passport to Culture for school-aged children and their families, to Arts in the Afternoon and senior matinees for our older patrons, we use SCFD money to make sure that the generational investment in arts and culture made by voter support of SCFD continues to be a wise one. We use SCFD funds to bring artists to Lone Tree that might never have thought to perform in Colorado before, and we use SCFD funds to create new programs like our award-winning sensory friendly work. We are grateful for the investment that metro area voters made in the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District a generation ago. It has made much of our work possible, and has opened a world of other possibilities to all of us fortunate enough to call the metro-Denver area home.

Donor Profiles Berkeley Homes and Harvard Communities Berkeley Homes and Harvard Communities are two established local homebuilders that have been building in the Denver metro area for over 25 years. The companies recently partnered to develop two communities in Lone Tree’s RidgeGate neighborhood— ParkSide and NorthSky—and are working together again at Denver’s Lowry Boulevard One development and at Connections in Westminster. The Berkeley/Harvard partnership brings together a pair of well-respected organizations with complementary skills and experiences. Harvard and Berkeley have brought creativity and innovation to the homebuilding industry, building a wide range of successful homes and neighborhoods over their five year partnership. Harvard’s experience in building solar and energy efficient homes, as well as creating unique homes and neighborhoods tailored to specific niche markets, complements Berkeley’s production and creative capabilities and 25 year history as one of Denver’s premier, quality locally-owned homebuilders. Harvard and Berkeley originally teamed together in 2011 to design and build ParkSide at RidgeGate, 31 single family homes in Lone Tree. ParkSide was the first neighborhood in Colorado to feature solar electricity as a standard feature on every home. Harvard and Berkeley also teamed together to develop the NorthSky neighborhood, a national winner for Project of the Year and Best Architectural Design of a home. Named for its views of the “north sky”, this neighborhood features 33 unique homes that have beautiful views of the Front Range and downtown Denver. Berkeley and Harvard’s latest adventure is underway in Lowry’s newest community—Boulevard One. Their unique architectural designs and creativity, as well as their astounding energy efficiency standards, continue in this urban development, where they will be building 34 single family homes ranging from the $700s to over one million dollars. The partnership of Berkeley and Harvard has been a great success and they look to continue bringing the creativity and strengths of their dynamic partnerships to more neighborhoods in Colorado.

Theater Trivia What is a sitzprobe? a) T he part of the production process during which the script is analyzed by the actors b) A meeting between the director and designers to plan scenic pieces c) The first rehearsal of the full orchestra d) T he first rehearsal with the full orchestra and cast ANSWER: (d) The German translation of sitzprobe is “seated rehearsal.” Most likely originating in German opera, the term has come to mean a rehearsal with all performers and musicians, but without scenery, costumes, or blocking. The lack of technical elements mean this rehearsal does not have to take place on the stage, and full attention can be given to the blending and interaction of the performers and musicians. A more involved rehearsal is the wandelprobe, during which the cast can “wander” the stage. Technical elements remain minimal, but the performers practice some of their blocking, while also rehearsing music.
Where in the theater do we use birdies? a) In the rigging system b) Inside a costume c) It is a nickname for the theater-wide communication system d) A nywhere onstage—it is a small light that can be mounted and hidden as needed ANSWER: (d) One common style of stage light is the PAR can, or Parabolic Aluminized Reflector lamp (think of a car headlight), which is typically housed in an aluminum can-shaped body. PAR lamps come in a number of sizes. The most

common is the PAR64—these are the classic shiny silver fixtures throwing lots of light and color on your favorite rock stars. The smallest is the PAR16, or birdie. These lights are small enough to mount on scenery, props or in hard to reach (and light) areas of the set. While the origin of the name is generally taken for granted, it has been said that the term comes from the fact that the light is so small, it is thought of as “one under PAR”—or, in golf terms, a birdie.
Which of these theatrical terms is not related to the others? a) Leg b) Tormentor c) Trap d) Border ANSWER: (c) “Trap” generally refers to trap door, a door in the stage floor through which actors or scenery can move. The others are all types of panels used to hide (mask) objects or parts of the stage that shouldn’t be seen. Some masking panels are hard flats, but many are not: “soft goods,” “drapes,” and “stage curtains” are all used to describe fabric masking curtains. The Lone Tree Arts Center has a set of black velour panels, particularly visible when there is no scenery onstage. Borders are hung horizontally above the stage, and are used to mask lighting, speakers, flown scenery and rigging battens. Legs and tabs are hung vertically on the sides of the stage, and are used to mask the backstage wings. In our theater, the colored fabric panels hung closest to the proscenium are the “teaser” and the “tormentors.” It is assumed that these pieces are so called because of the effect they had on audience members who might like to get a glimpse of what is going on offstage!
