ARTIST PROFILE

ANDREA McARDLE AND

DONNA McKECHNIE Andrea McArdle is best known for originating the role of Annie Warbucks in the very first Broadway production Annie. In a twist of fate, much like the one her character experiences, she was plucked from the chorus to replace the previous star during rehearsals. The producers wanted someone who could portray an Annie with more “street smarts,” and McArdle fit the bill. Since her breakout role at 14, she has starred in countless other productions on both screen and stage. She even returned to Annie in 2010, this time as her previous character’s nemesis, Miss Hannigan. She’s also a regular on the cabaret scene, wowing audiences in intimate spaces across the country. You probably recognize Donna McKechnie as one of the original castmembers of Broadway’s A Chorus Line, where she portrayed Cassie, a character who was based on her own experiences in the industry. But it could also be from Promises, Promises, where she danced to “Turkey Lurkey Time.” And then of course there’s always Stephen Sondheim’s

It’s not every night that you get to be in the presence of not one, but two Broadway legends. But that’s exactly what will happen on Saturday, April 18, 2020 at 8pm, when we get to spend An Evening with Andrea McArdle and Donna McKechnie.

Company where she danced a solo called “Tick Tock.” It could even be from your television screen where she had a recurring role in the soap opera Dark Shadows or as a dancer on Hullabaloo. Regardless of where you know her from, it’s obvious that her talent is immense and not even a diagnosis of arthritis in 1980 could keep her down. Join us for a night of classic Broadway tunes sung by classic Broadway talent. If you’re a musical theatre lover, you won’t want to miss it!

International Guitar Night Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at 7:30pm

Featuring: ˘ Mike Dawes, Cenk Erdogan, Olli Soikkeli, Jim Kimo West

Each year, International Guitar Night’s founder Brian Gore invites a new cast of guitar luminaries from around the world for special concert tours of North America highlighting the diversity of the acoustic guitar. We are proud to celebrate our 20th year of touring the U.S. For the special Anniversary Tour, Brian Gore has put together his most eclectic lineup yet: guest host Mike Dawes (England) and his incredible two-hand contemporary style is joined ˘ by fretless guitarist from Turkey Cenk Erdogan, electrifying jazz virtuoso Olli Soikkeli from Finland, and Hawaiian slack key master Jim ‘Kimo’ West. “For 20 years we have slowly built a loyal and ever growing audience for IGN. Each tour offers an enthralling view of the burgeoning acoustic guitar renaissance. Sell outs and encore requests are the norm for IGN, and each tour is its own unique musical experience. Every year is the best year yet, and this year is even better! The melange of mind bending British fingerstyle, Turkish fretless improvisation, virtuosic gypsy jazz, and laid back Hawaiian slack key is sure to be a show stopper.” – Brian Gore

Mike Dawes is an English guitar player known for composing, arranging, and performing multiple parts simultaneously on one instrument using unique extended and micro-techniques. He is hailed as one of the world’s finest and most creative modern fingerstyle guitar performers. Dawes is also lead guitar player for Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues, featuring heavily on multiple DVD and PBS releases, notably Spirits…Live, which debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard charts. Dawes has amassed around 80 million music video views online. He was voted the ‘Best Acoustic Guitarist in the World’ by MusicRadar and Total Guitar Magazine in a December 2017 readers’ poll. ˘ Cenk Erdogan was born in Istanbul in 1979. In 1997 he won a four-year scholarship at Istanbul Bilgi University for music composition, and graduated with First Class Honors. In the years since, Cenk has performed around the globe playing Turkish fretless guitar. He has also been a leading fretless guitar educator, setting up classes, workshops, and a website dedicated to the subject. In 2008, Cenk recorded his first album, ILE, which was produced by Baykus Music. He later moved into film composition, writing music for the Turkish romance Issiz Adam. The score won Cenk a Yecilcam Award for Music. In 2016, he arranged and conducted orchestral music for Sezen Aksu, the queen of Turkish pop. Sezenli Yillar has performed six concerts with a 35 piece orchestra and visuals and dance shows. The next year, Cenk released his latest album, Lahza, with Swedish drummer Mehmet Ikiz. Lahza is a guitar and drum duo project consisting of original music and live improvisations. He performs regularly with his solo, duo, and trio projects and composes in a wide range of musical styles.


Olli Soikkeli was born in Nurmes, Finland in 1991. He started playing guitar at age of 12. After a few years of playing, Olli was introduced to the music of the great Django Reinhardt, and gypsy jazz has been Olli’s main focus ever since. Soon Olli was playing in jazz clubs and festivals all around Finland. After touring throughout Europe with musicians such as Paulus Schäfer and Arnoud van den Berg, Olli decided to move to New York City in 2014. Olli has played legendary venues such as Birdland Jazz Club, Blue Note, and the Lincoln Center. Despite his young age, he’s already played with stars such as Bucky Pizzarelli, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanuel, Andreas Öberg, Cyrille Aimee, Anat Cohen, Antti Sarpila, and Marian Petrescu. Having never even seen Waikiki, Jim “Kimo” West came right to Hana, Maui in 1985 and spent much of his time there for many years. Best known as long-time guitarist for the world’s most successful musical comedy artist, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Kimo is regarded as one of the world’s foremost “ki ho’alu” or Hawaiian “slack key” guitar artists and his music has garnered many millions of streams on Spotify and Pandora. This warm and engaging fingerpicking guitar style has its roots in 1840s Hawaii, when Mexican vaqueros first brought guitars to the Big Island of Hawaii. If you saw the Oscarwinning film The Descendants, you have experienced this great acoustic guitar tradition. Kimo is a 2008 winner of the Hawaii Music Awards and three-time Na Hoku Hanohano (the Hawaiian ‘Grammy’) nominee. He is also a two-time winner of the L.A. Treasures Award for his efforts in keeping this important acoustic guitar tradition alive. For his work with “Weird Al,” he has earned four Grammys and a Billboard number one CD debut for 2015’s Mandatory Fun.


Shaun Boothe Presents The Unauthorized Biography Series Tuesday, February 6, 2020 at 7pm

Shaun Boothe is an award winning hip hop artist, TEDx speaker and creator of ‘The Unauthorized Biography Series.’ The Unauthorized Biography Series is a critically acclaimed musical project that celebrates the world’s greatest cultural icons through biographical rap songs– repackaging history through hip hop. Each chapter of the series captures the legacy of an influential iconic figure in a documentary-style music video. Icons featured in the series include Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, Malala Yousafzai, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and more. Getting blog love from Kanye, tweets from Diddy himself–Boothe’s sixth icon in his series–and a feature on Forbes.com, it’s clear that he’s getting the attention of the right people. After spending 10+ years in the music industry, sharing stages with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill and Kendrick Lamar, a search for a more purposeful path led Shaun to the education market. It was here where he discovered how his Unauthorized Biography Series, combined with his passion for speaking, could be used as a powerful tool to both entertain and inspire others to achieve their own greatness. A few short years later, this new direction has grown into a thriving international career as an inspirational speaker and performing artist in middle schools, high schools, college campuses and performing arts centers alike.

LIVE THE DIFFERENCE All around this country, you’ll see the Shea family’s legacy in countless places—the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge, to name just a few. These landmarks symbolize our commitment to enduring quality, and we are proud to be a part of the American landscape. From this rich history comes a passion for design and quality, as well as a deep understanding of how people live today— what’s important to them in a home, and a community. It’s why the homes we design today aren’t like those built a century ago—or those we’ll build a century from now.

That’s The Shea Difference. We build our homes for smart, discerning buyers who appreciate the thoughtful design, thoughtful people and thoughtful processes that truly set Shea Homes apart. We obsess over the integration of form and function. The small details that matter. The ingenious innovations that make space more usable, more adaptable, more livable. When we design our homes and communities, we think about real life—and how we can make it even better. That’s why we are proud to invite you to “live the difference” at any Shea Homes community.

NEW PERMANENT ART INSTALLATION Mountain Spell, by sculptor Harold Linke, was installed at the Lone Tree Arts Center in June 2018 as part of an art on loan program overseen by the City’s Arts Commission. This fall, thanks to generous benefactors Harold and Ada Anderson, Mountain Spell became part of the City’s permanent collection of outdoor art at the Lone Tree Arts Center. The sculpture captures the viewer’s imagination with its simplicity and underlying meaning, and a soft glow seems to emanate from the work when lit. Made from carbon fiber

and other materials, the delicate and airy appearance of the sculpture belies the strength of its composition. The only thing strong enough to take it on was a March 2019 bomb cyclone—a ferocious blizzard with winds of over 70 mph which caused the piece to bend at the knee. Linke reinforced the entire structure with enough carbon fiber to double its strength, and Mountain Spell will stand tall at the Lone Tree Arts Center for many years to come, captivating all who see it.

LIFE ENRICHMENT The Light of Life never retires Patrons of the arts know better than most that artistic expression, across all its mediums, gives voice to that which we cannot otherwise convey, offering an experience as enriching for the artist as for the audience. With natural pleasure, MorningStar Senior Living supports the arts, recognizing the many benefits our residents derive by participating. So imagine the delight of MorningStar at RidgeGate to be situated across the street from Lone Tree Arts Center. Our relationship with LTAC began at our ground break; indeed our February 2015 ceremony was held in its lobby. While under construction we became the sponsor of Arts in the Afternoon, and more recently of Spark!, a program offered in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Association for those with early memory loss. Here’s how one resident describes the appeal,

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

“When my wife and I moved back to the area after 20 years, we were looking for activities. We found the Arts Center and have attended many musical and theatrical programs, even more after we moved to MorningStar. We are especially delighted with Spark! The audience is encouraged to participate and, believe me, they do. We’re all friends by the time we leave the theatre.” All this art-centered hobnobbing comes with the reward of not just culture but camaraderie. For the distinguishing mark at MorningStar, the one we brag about most, is that we are building Real Community with all its reverberating and life-enriching impact. Age brilliantly…at MorningStar.

“I love to see new ‘recruits’ find a place of belonging...” –Lisa Rigsby Peterson

LTAC’S SENSORY FRIENDLY PATH FOR ADULTS Since our first season in 2012, the Lone Tree Arts Center has welcomed people in our community who have rarely felt safe or invited to engage as arts patrons: those with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Through our sensory friendly initiative, we’ve learned that the arts can strengthen our community in ways we had not imagined. Today, we lead the way in sensory friendly programming by forging innovative links with local care providers, funders, and educational partners. Besides helping us develop our approach to presenting accessible and inclusive performances for many local families, our partners have helped us gain valuable insight on the growing needs of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

SF Usher Program The Arts Center’s volunteer usher program is one important way we support adults by engaging them as a part of our front-of-house team. We offer members of Castle Rock’s Wellspring Community, an adult day enrichment center, the chance to learn transferable job skills while training to become ushers at our sensory friendly performances. Since 2016, when we first partnered with Wellspring, more than 50 Wellspring Community participants have gone through the four-week training session, and now they proudly serve alongside volunteer mentors, while nurturing meaningful friendships.


“We all benefit from this program,” explains Lisa Rigsby Peterson, the Arts Center’s executive director. “I love to see new ‘recruits’ find a place of belonging as part of our dedicated team of volunteers. But it’s their openness to learning and eagerness to serve others that truly inspires us!”

“Over the last several years, we’ve convened arts and many other organizations in the sensory friendly movement,” says Rigsby Peterson. “So, a job readiness fair is a natural extension, a way to leverage our work so far with adults and further define our place in the community,” she adds.

Partnering with ACC Elevate The success of the usher program has led the Arts Center team to identify new opportunities to make an impact on the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. That is how we discovered Arapahoe Community College’s (ACC) Elevate program, one of three Colorado higher education degree programs for students with learning and developmental disabilities. Together, we envisioned how a collaboration could help students explore vocational and volunteer paths in the performing arts, beyond being on stage.

The job readiness fair will feature mini workshops, coaching, and mentoring on topics like resume writing and preparation for informational and job seeking interviews, aimed at helping participants highlight experience, such as ushering at the Arts Center. We’ll welcome current sponsors, other local businesses, and community organizations as exhibitors and mentors. In addition, the event will help business and community leaders increase their knowledge and awareness as they make room for a ready and willing workforce that includes those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Over the last year, the Arts Center’s technical and program staff have eagerly shared their knowledge and experience on topics such as set design, marketing, and theatrical sound and lighting through in-classroom symposiums. In addition, we welcomed one student to our usher program, giving him the chance to develop his interest in front-of-the-house experiences at our venue. As our relationship with ACC Elevate grows, we hope to expand to include on-site tours, job shadowing, and an internship program.

Although the Arts Center has gained recognition over the years for the sensory friendly performances we present on our Main Stage, we are also creating a culture of inclusiveness that is helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities forge a path in the arts and in the community.

Job Readiness Fair To capture the momentum of both the usher program and our partnership with ACC Elevate, the Arts Center plans to host a job readiness fair on March 14, to connect adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and potential employers and mentors in the south metro Denver area.
