A more natural approach to new urbanism.
New urbanism doesn’t always mean lots of concrete and no backyards. At RidgeGate, it means walkable shopping, dining, and cultural venues. Plus over 1,000 acres dedicated to preserved natural open space. Three new neighborhoods are coming to life with a variety of home options. Naturally, we’d love for you to come visit. RidgeGate is just south of Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree.

A word from
MAYOR JiM GUNNiNG The holidays can be a hectic time of year . With so much happening and so many events to attend, it’s hard not to turn into a Grinch sometimes, wanting only to take a moment away from the hustle and bustle . For my family, traditions allow us to do that . As I’ve talked with many of you, I’ve heard about traditions that date back generations as well as new traditions created just this year . Whatever holiday you celebrate or whatever fashion you celebrate in, there does seem to be one universal truth – we celebrate with the ones we love . Family and tradition are the two keystones to this season in my mind and in the minds of so many of you . This year, the Guild did a tremendous job of hosting the second annual tree lighting in a way that encouraged families to attend together and kick off the holiday season surrounded by community . I’ve also heard from so many of you that the Arts Center has become a tradition for your family . The fact that Home for the Holidays and the Arts Center plays such a crucial and central role in so many of your holiday celebrations is heart-warming and satisfying . When we broke ground, we hoped this building would be more than just a building, that it would be a gathering place for friends and a place to make new friends . This holiday season, we certainly see the effects of that as thousands gather for the shared experience of Home for the Holidays . It’s become a tradition to gather at the Arts Center during this time of year and for that we are so appreciative . Bring your family, your friends, and your neighbors and let’s make this tradition ring through the entire community . What a way to celebrate! Best holiday wishes, Mayor Jim Gunning
A word from
execUTive DiRecTOR LisA RiGsbY PeTeRsON Winter at the Lone Tree Arts Center certainly seems like the “most wonderful time of the year,” not only for all of you who come to enjoy our holiday offerings with your families and friends, but also for all of the LTAC staff who take pride in making your experience here a memorable one . When we opened two years ago, our staff embraced the following challenge: we wanted everyone who came to the Lone Tree Arts Center to be so welltreated, and enjoy their experience with us so thoroughly, that the first thing they said as they left our building was “I can’t wait to go back!” From providing guidance through the ticket buying process, to greeting you warmly as you walk into the lobby, having our wonderful volunteer ushers help you find your seats, and then presenting outstanding live performances that touch and delight you, we take seriously our responsibility to meet our challenge with every patron . 2013 has been a remarkable year for us, not only because of triple-digit growth in almost every category of our programming, but also because of the small moments we remember . Like being able to hear a pin drop at the end of Hank Williams: Lost Highway, just after the lights went down for the last time; or standing and cheering the piccolo player’s solo during Stars and Stripes Forever at the CSO Pops concert; or watching hundreds of families bring their children into the Arts Center to see a live performance for the very first time . Thank you for being with us this year, and for this performance . We hope that you can’t wait to come back again . Happy holidays from all of us here at the Lone Tree Arts Center! Lisa Rigsby Peterson

Is there anything more magical than toys coming to life? That special holiday wish for many children is realized in this year’s Home for the Holidays. In a special segment called Toyz, a fantasyland of real-life toys story . create a magical a hip-hop story of the classic Nutcracker story oyz will be choreographed by John Gillete, who has performed Toyz and choreographed all over the US . John grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and began dancing at age 13, “battling” at local clubs with other hip-hoppers . Fans of the popular TV show So You Think You Can Dance will recognize the first person John he pair became inseparable, dancing battled with – Twitch . The together and feeding off each other as they grew in their respective careers . As John began producing music, he created the song mixes that Twitch danced to in his solos for SYTYCD . After moving around the US singing, dancing, choreographing and producing music, John settled on Denver as his home-base . home-base He wanted to start a family and the city had a certain pull for him and his now-wife . The dynamic performer began choreographing for the Denver Nuggets Dancers and writing songs for a variety of artists . He soon forged a relationship with Motion Underground, a hip-hop group that focuses on maintaining the roots of the art form and teaching young people the foundations of this genre . genre

LONe T R ee A RTs ceN T eR
Today, John’s crew, Funk Umbrella, is made up of students of Motion Underground. Their goal is to restore the art of classic popping, a street dance and one of the original funk styles that came from California during the 1960s-1970s. Popping is based on the technique of quickly contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerk in the dancer’s body, referred to as a pop or a hit. For Home for the Holidays, members of Funk Umbrella as well as other Motion Underground performers will be incorporating various styles of hip-hop, including popping. John’s choreography takes advantage of the styles each member excels in, creating a performance that truly brings toys to life. Beyond the hip-hop dancers, Toyz incorporates other elements of performance. Back after last season’s success, the Broncos Stampede Drumline will pound out high-energy rhythms and pulsating beats as little drummer boys come-to-life. New this year is the addition of world-class gymnast Wyatt Baier. Wyatt has been a gymnast since the age of five, when his parents wanted to channel his incessant climbing into something productive. When he turned 13, Wyatt decided to dedicate himself to gymnastics, working towards the goal of the Olympic rings. In 2012, Wyatt made it to the US National Championships, the final competition before Olympic trials, where he was a top contender in vault, his premier event. After being a competitive gymnast for many years, Wyatt is excited to take on the next level of his career as a performer. A member of a performing family (in fact, his dad is in Home for the Holidays too!), Wyatt began acting at a young age. Anxious to return to the stage and utilize his skills as a gymnast, he will tumble his way into every child’s imagination. Toyz is set to be a fun and imaginative part of this year’s performance, ready to capture the imagination of every kid, from one to ninety-two.

Bunnicula
er Stage! Brings Imagination Cent January 21-30
As with many children’s plays, Bunnicula is based on a book. Originally written in 1979, the Bunnicula books have stood the test of time, still a staple in the classroom and on playroom bookshelves for the past two and a half decades. The show (and the books) follows the story of Monroe family and their pets. The Monroes find a bunny at the theater where they were watching a Dracula film. Because of this, they name him Bunnicula. Their cat Chester, however, is convinced Bunnicula is a vampire and attempts to get Harold (the dog) to help save the Monroes from the perceived menace. Director Nick Sugar talked to us about taking on this fun show. “What is exciting about directing a piece like Bunnicula is that there are no restrictions with your imagination. When the main characters are a cat and a dog, you can take the audience places that you can’t in normal situations.” Bunnicula takes on a wonderful children’s series and brings it to life on stage in a way that is fun, fast and full of adventure. Sugar and his cast tap into that adventure with this whimsical show. Sugar emphasized his escape from reality, “The biggest difference between directing children’s theater and theater aimed for adults:
16
LONe T R ee A RTs ceN T eR
Imagination! Adults seem to not want to let go of the reality of life and the kids are ready to be taken as far away as possible! So when you get to do a piece like Bunnicula you can just escape for a while and discover some new theatrical territories. What happens in the process is the adults in the audience get sucked into this fun world with the children and actually discover their inner child again!” The show also taps into what many call the “Pixar Effect” – that is, it’s written for kids, but with humor just for adults. There are many parts of the show that fly right over the young ones’ heads to get a good chuckle from their chaperones. The witty dialogue is sure to appeal to all ages. Bunnicula will show at LTAC January 21-30. With plenty of school showings as well as public showings, pick up your tickets today for what is sure to be a show with oodles of imagination!

This evening’s performance will feature hits composed and performed by Maynard Ferguson. Highlights will include the following. MacArthur Park Bridge Over Troubled Water Hey Jude Theme From “Rocky” Stay Loose with Bruce Night in Tunisia People Round Midnight Fox Hunt Heidi Schmitt will be performing selections from the following. Invitation East of the Sun, West of the Moon Lucky to Be Me I Remember You Pete Olstad has toured and performed with the bands of Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Blood Sweat and Tears, Mel Torme, Brian Setzer and Tom Jones. In 1999, Pete was hired by Tom Jones and played lead trumpet for nine years, touring 35 weeks a year for that period of time. From Carnegie Hall to Royal Albert Hall; the Hollywood Bowl to Wembley Stadium, Pete has played them all. Born in Burbank, California and later moving to Evergreen, Colorado, Pete Olstad attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado. While in college, Pete received the Downbeat Magazine’s “Best Jazz Soloist Award” (college division) three years in a row, and later went on to become one of five finalists in the Thelonious Monk Institute’s Louis Armstrong Jazz Trumpet Competition in Washington D.C. Settling back in the Los Angles area after college, Pete spent the next 15 years as a freelance trumpet player and later relocated to New York for another 10 years before settling back in Denver, Colorado where he now resides. Heidi Schmidt was born and raised in Denver until the age of eight. From Denver she moved with her family to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and has since been a citizen of the world. Coming from a musical family, Heidi started her own journey in music on the piano. From piano, she studied oboe and classical guitar at the Interlochen Arts Academy. It was there that she began to discover her love for singing and song writing. Heidi has traveled extensively interacting with different cultures and musical genres. She lived in Romania for eight and a half years where she worked as a volunteer with various non-profit organizations. She produced three albums in Romania and toured around the country as well as England, Germany, Holland, Austria , Norway, France, and Croatia. Heidi Schmidt holds a BM in Vocal Performance in the Jazz and Commercial Music Studies Program at Lamont School of Music, Denver. She is the recipient of many awards including the Downbeat Student Award for Outstanding Jazz Arrangement 2013 and first place winner in the Jazz Solo Honors Competition 2013.
Hot Club of Cowtown Friday, January 31 at 8pm
Sponsored by:
Since their first recording in 1998, Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown have grown to be the most globe-trotting, hardest-swinging Western swing trio on the planet. The first American band to tour Azerbaijan, they have opened stadiums for such artists as Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson and continue to bring their brand of western swing to a wide range of festival audiences all over the world. But for guitarist Whit Smith, fiddler Elana James and bassist Jake Erwin, it has always been about staying true to their roots. Remaining willfully out of the musical mainstream, Hot Club of Cowtown has created an international cult following for their sonic personification of joy and unique sound inspired by their namesakes: “Hot Club” from the hot jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli’s Hot Club of France, and “Cowtown” from the Western swing influence of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Smith (Cape Cod, MA) and James (Prairie Village, KS), originally met through an ad in the classified music section of The Village Voice in 1994, and played together in New York City before relocating to San Diego in 1997, where they spent a year playing for tips and building up their repertoire. By 1998, they had relocated to Austin, Texas and in 2000 added Jake Erwin (originally from Tulsa, OK) on bass, finalizing the Hot Club’s lineup. Like any scrappy modern band, Hot Club dwells between the daily grind of touring and the euphoria of its live shows. Years of crisscrossing the USA in a silver Ford van through a landscape where local traditions are becoming more and more diluted, and modern life more electronic, have galvanized this Texas trio who are more devoted than ever to keeping their music sincere, free of irony, and focused on a simpler time. Hot Club of Cowtown’s live show is an engaging mix of what the band does best — whatever moves it at the moment, setlists be damned. “We have faith in the system that is the band. This energy that we plug into and it takes us away,” says James. Smith describes their shows as “like a rock ’n’ roll show . . . people pick up on the energy and the sincerity.” “What the trio has is a rare thing,” says Smith. “There’s a chemistry that’s unmistakable.”

What IS a Guild?
guild n . an association for mutual aid and the promotion of common interests Lone Tree Arts Center Guild n . a dynamic group of volunteers that work together to promote and support the Lone Tree Arts Center year-round with fundraisers, events, word-of-mouth, and their time . There are over 70 members of the Lone Tree Arts Center Guild, a group that comes together for the sole purpose of helping the LTAC . Many are also members of the LTAC usher corps, many are donors, and nearly all are regular attendees at performances . This is a group that not only wants LTAC to continue, but to thrive . Meeting monthly, the group is a fun and rewarding way for like-minded people to share in their passion and excitement for LTAC by getting actively involved . In late 2010, as excitement built in anticipation of LTAC’s opening, a group of local arts lovers and community leaders saw the perfect opportunity to demonstrate their support for the Arts Center and have fun doing it – they formed the Lone Tree Arts Center Guild, under the umbrella of the Lone Tree Cultural Arts Foundation . The Guild’s first project was helping to make the August 2011 Opening Gala a rousing success . Two years and several projects later, Guild President Maggie Eichenlaub says the group is a “work in progress .” The primary goals for the Guild today are developing signature events that benefit LTAC and creating a solid foundation of members committed to the mission of the Guild . So what do they do? A lot . In 2013 alone, the Guild hosted several “minifundraisers” to benefit the Arts Center . They also developed three events they hope will continue as signature events within the community . In August, they held a Fashion Event at Nordstrom that displayed the latest in fall fashion and skincare; the group made over $2400 from the fundraiser . In
22
LONe T R ee A RTs ceN T eR
September, they hosted the first Autumn Boutique, a market within the LTAC that sold clothing, jewelry, gifts, and more . The one day event had over thirty vendors and hundreds of attendees . On November 30, the Guild sponsored the Family Holiday Kick-Off, building on the tree lighting tradition the Guild inaugurated in 2012 for the entire community . This year, the Guild again purchased a tree for LTAC patrons to enjoy throughout the season and incorporated a carol sing-a-long and free hot cocoa for families to enjoy . In the summer of 2013, the Guild noticed a real need at LTAC – booster seats . For some shows, it was impossible for little ones to enjoy the performance unless they were on their parent’s lap – they were too little to see over the people in front of them . The Guild stepped in and, working with LTAC staff, purchased booster seats that are now available for all LTAC performances . Perhaps one of the most rewarding areas of support the Guild provides is for children . Each year, the Guild donates funds to an area school so they can see a show at LTAC . The Guild pays for the tickets as well as the busing fees, ensuring that children are exposed to art at a young age . This year, the Guild underwrote the funds for a school groups to attend Alexander and the Terrible… Day and Pinkalicous . The kids had a great time and were thrilled at the opportunity to see live theater . Whether they are asked to provide a (literal) boost, a helping hand, or general underwriting funds, the LTAC Guild are the secret superstars at the LTAC .

Donor Profiles iNDiviDUAL DONOR sPOTLiGhT: scott Leonhart & Maggie eichenlaub Scott Leonhart and Maggie Eichenlaub have been regulars at the Lone Tree Arts Center since it opened . Frequently spotted in the audience for nearly every type of show the Arts Center offers, this pair found a program close to their heart when the Colorado Symphony Orchestra turned LTAC into its south metro home . When the CSO’s residency was announced “we were thrilled to death,” said Maggie . The couple, residents of Castle Pines, had only been downtown to see the CSO once . Maggie shared that they had always loved the symphony, but it was difficult to coordinate schedules to see the orchestra . Now that the CSO is close to home and in a venue they love, Maggie and Scott say it’s become a priority in their life . Scott has always been a music lover, enjoying music of all kinds . Maggie grew up in a very musical household, learning to play the piano when she was young . In fact, her first purchase after moving to Colorado was a piano – even before buying a couch! In their sixteen years together, the couple has enjoyed lots of family time, but they cherish the opportunities now so close to home with the LTAC . Bringing grandkids to children’s performances and sitting on the lawn for Tunes on the Terrace are highlights for this pair .

What is a green room, and why do we call it that? a) A room where we serve vegetables b) A locker room…it turns green if we don’t clean enough c) A lounge…but why the heck do we call it that?? d) A room painted green, said to bring good luck to actors
ANSWER: c) Most theaters have a communal space for performers, crew and musicians to pass the time when they are not needed onstage . This is usually called the green room . The origins of this term are unclear, but there are many theories . One is that this is the room where nervous actors congregate before they make their entrances—and nervous, nauseous people can look green! Another theory is that this room is frequently filled with ensemble or minor characters—often younger and less experienced, or “green .” Some believe the term comes from Medieval theater in the round, when the playing area was grass; the idea being that the areas occupied by actors was referred to as “green .” Many modern green rooms, including ours here at the Lone Tree Arts Center, are not actually painted green—though some are, in keeping with tradition .
where does the term “break a leg” come from? a) It is an old reference to how some performers were paid b) It is bad luck to wish an actor “good luck” c) It’s a term that was originally used by jealous actors d) It is an archaic reference to curtseying or bowing .
ANSWER: ??? Quite possibly any of the above . It is commonly known that saying “good luck” to a performer is considered unlucky . Many believe that by wishing someone a bad outcome, the opposite will actually occur . However, there are many theories about the origin of this specific term as well . Some believe it comes from the era of Vaudeville, when companies often hired more performers than they could use, but only paid those that performed . The curtains that are hung on the sides of the stage are called “legs”—thus, to “break a leg” would mean that you were able to cross from backstage to onstage, perform your act, and be paid accordingly . Another theory is that “breaking a leg” is very old slang for “bowing”—and the phrase would be a wish for the
34
LONE T R EE A RT S CEN T ER
performers to take many bows, indicating a popular performance . And yes, some have speculated that the term may be evidence of strong competition and jealousy amongst actors, though this is most likely just a joke .
which of the following is NOT a common term when on stage? a) Upstage b) U-turn c) Pit d) Special
ANSWER: d) A “special” is a term for a single light focused on an isolated area of the stage . An actor must be sure to be in the same place at the same moment every performance to be lit! The orchestra plays from the “pit”, where they can be well heard without disrupting the view of the actors on the stage . “Upstage” is the rear of the stage, farther from the audience, and “downstage” is the front of the stage . This is the case because it’s common for stages to be “raked”—or angled—slightly higher at the back of the stage . Thus, you are “up” at the rear of the stage, and “down” at the front .
where in the theater will you find an apron? a) In the kitchen, just like in a home b) Downstage of the proscenium c) Backstage d) At the front of the balcony
ANSWER: b) The apron is the area of stage that is found downstage of the proscenium arch, in between the audience and the main stage . At the Lone Tree Arts Center, our apron also doubles as our orchestra pit . We have a series of platforms, curved on the downstage side, that cover this area . To build the apron, we install a series of metal legs that support the platforms at a height that is flush with the rest of the stage . To open up the orchestra pit, we remove the platforms and their legs, revealing the floor nearly nine feet feet below the stage . We can also install the platforms on shorter legs, where they are level with the first row of audience seating . We have used this area for extra seating, for instructors to coach students, and even to mount lighting equipment . A flexible system, but it can take a crew of five people up to an hour and a half to change to a different level!
