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

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!

Day To Night With Photographer Stephen Wilkes Friday, March 13 at 8pm
Since opening his studio in New York City in 1983, photographer Stephen Wilkes has built an unprecedented body of work and a reputation as one of America’s most iconic photographers, widely recognized for his fine art, editorial, and commercial work. Wilkes’ early career interpretations of Mainland China, California’s Highway One, and impressionistic “Burned Objects” set the tone for a series of career-defining projects that catapulted him to the top of the photographic landscape. In 1998, a one-day assignment to the south side of Ellis Island led to a five-year photographic study of the island’s long abandoned medical wards where immigrants were detained before they could enter America. Through his photographs and video, Wilkes helped secure $6 million toward the restoration of the south side of the island. Day to Night, Wilkes’ most defining project, began in 2009. These epic cityscapes and landscapes, portrayed from a fixed camera angle for up to 30 hours, capture fleeting moments of humanity as light passes in front of his lens over the course of full day. Blending these

images into a single photograph takes months to complete. Day to Night has been featured dozens of prominent media outlets and, with a grant from the National Geographic Society, was extended to include America’s National Parks in celebration of their centennial anniversary. Wilkes’ work documenting the ravages of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy has brought heightened awareness to the realities of global climate change. He was commissioned by the Annenberg Space for Photography to revisit New Orleans in 2013 after documenting Hurricane Katrina for the World Monuments Fund. And his images were exhibited with his photographs on Hurricane Sandy in the 2014 exhibition Sink or Swim, Designing for a Sea of Change. Wilkes’ directorial debut, the documentary film Jay Myself, world premiered to a sold-out crowd at DOCNYC on November 11, 2018. The film is an in-depth look into the world of photographer Jay Maisel and his move out of his 35,000 sq. foot building at 190 Bowery. Wilkes’ extensive awards and honors include the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography, Photographer of the Year from Adweek Magazine, Fine Art Photographer of the Year 2004 Lucie Award, TIME Magazine Top 10 Photographs of 2012, Sony World Photography Professional Award 2012, Adobe Breakthrough Photography Award 2012 and Prix Pictet, Consumption 2014. Wilkes was born in 1957 in New York. He received his BS in photography from Syracuse University S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a minor in business management from the Whitman School of Management in 1980. Wilkes lives and maintains his studio in Westport, CT.
Broadway Princess Party Friday, March 20 at 8pm Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Manhattan, Benjamin Rauhala had a birthday party and invited his dear friend, Laura Osnes, fresh off her run as Broadway’s Cinderella. He shared with her his idea of a concert full of beloved Princess songs, and that he wanted her to co-host. Laura’s heart leapt with joy and within hours, she had dreamt up which of her Broadway girlfriends would sing each iconic princess song. She would, of course, embody Cinderella, but who would Ben be? Gus-Gus, the mouse? Flounder, the guppy? The Fairy God... father? Ah, ha! They had it... He would be our Fairy Godfairy! It was a perfect fit, like a glass slipper. And with their vision to make it more than just a concert—an actual royal gathering of princesses with glitter and decorations—they came to call it the Broadway Princess Party. On August 16, 2015, the very first Broadway Princess Party was born at Feinstein’s/54 Below in New York City, co-hosted, created, and written by Mr. Rauhala and Ms. Osnes. Not only did the audiences flip their fins for the iconic songs, inherent nostalgia and mind-blowing talent, but the hand-picked cast of 15 Broadway ingenues discovered an inspiring kinship in celebrating each other’s strength, creativity, valiance, and vocal prowess. They knew they had something special on their hands. Videos from the concerts went viral on YouTube and social media, amassing over 17 million views and counting, leading to over 14 more sold-out concerts at Feinstein’s/54 Below over the next three years, including a Broadway Prince Party, featuring Broadway’s favorite leading men. It was two years later, when Broadway’s original Belle, Susan Egan, joined the party when the show and brand began to grow Sponsored by: Season Sponsor

exponentially. Egan’s business savviness and vision for the brand would prove key to its expansion, and her expertise from years of experience as a touring concert artist would prove key to the development of the show itself. With a growing demand from fans worldwide, they joined together as a team to expand this popular series beyond the palace walls of Manhattan, creating Broadway Princess Party, LLC as a comprehensive concert brand and merchandise line. They’ve expanded their royal reach to also include the #UnleashYourInnerPrincess talent search and an online store at BroadwayPrincessParty.com. Most recently, Broadway’s original ‘Anastasia,’ Christy Altomare, has joined the partnership, and together these royals are taking their show and brand to kingdoms near and far. The Princesses have played to packed houses in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Boston, and more, and show no signs of slowing down! Which brings us to tonight, when you, dear reader, will join the party!

Performance Program Drumbeat Inferno Composer: HANDS Percussion A drummer lives on energy, and there is no energy quite like fire. The flames rise quickly, and the speed at which the inferno spreads is matched by the increasing intensity of the drummer’s music, passion and strength. For a few brief minutes, this fiery composition consumes the drummers in a frenzy of leaps and turns, that in the end leaves them soaking wet. Rhythm Ride Composer: HANDS Percussion Guest Musician: Mat Din Hussin Familiarity brings the Hands 2nd Team together after being together for 10 years. Having explored different ways of expression, they seek to strike a balance between members. But they have forgotten the most important–rhythm. However, once realized, rhythm flows out naturally from within like a river, overflowing the body and the soul.
deConsTructIon Composer: Jimmy Ch’ng Taking a piece of something familiar and opening it up to change takes some amount of careless freedom and skill. In this familiar piece the composer uses his extensive experience as a percussionist and flair for rhythm to deconstruct something old in order to recreate it with new elements and deeper reflection of its meaning. Traditional instruments. specifically the lion dance drum, cymbals (Chinese opera), and the gong (gamelan), are interplayed using western percussion techniques and composition rearranged to current trends. In a challenge to the saying ‘leave well enough alone,’ the composer chooses to see progress through change and that traditions and old ways can still remain in high esteem despite losing some part of itself. Ju4Ji2 Composer: Jimmy Ch’ng A festive piece with an artistic soul. This piece starts with a solo drummer playing a big red drum at center stage and is slowly joined by his fellow drummers. This marks the journey of a drummer as they play rhythms from deep within their souls. After coming together as a team, the drummers perform rhythms and movements feeding off the unseen, unspoken but deeply understood connection between one another. In the Name of Celebration Composer: HANDS Percussion Carrying the Jidor, playing the Shigu. From one festival to another. A new aspiration, crossing traditional boundaries with movement and music...No celebration can happen without music...No matter where it comes from or how it is created. With any festival, there must be music. When the music begins...It will be a greeting from the groups and musicians...Powerful yet touching.

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.
