RISING IN THE EAST.

With the west side of our community nearly fully developed, RidgeGate is now expanding to the east side of I-25. Our community encompasses a total of 3,500 acres, or six square miles, on both sides. In the years ahead, you’ll see the new Lone Tree City Center become an energized mixed-use downtown for our region. Our multiple light rail stations will keep us connected to the greater metro area. Three new residential villages and a regional park will come to life, with Shea Homes as the master homebuilder for the first neighborhood, Lyric at RidgeGate. Along with the city center, two additional commercial districts will help to create upwards of 35,000 new jobs. Stay tuned as the future comes into view.

The Arts Center may deny entry to any person accompanied by another who may become a disruption to the performers or audience, and may likewise remove disruptive patrons from the audience. Occasionally, individual productions may have recommended age limits. It is always up to the parent/guardian to make the determination if an event is age appropriate for their child. Children four and under are strongly discouraged from attending performances not geared for children and families. Refunds are at the discretion of the Lone Tree Arts Center Box Office.

Rescued Tigers

Everyone is Included AT LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

A trip to the theater is a special event. We get dressed up, maybe g rab a nice dinner beforehand, and settle in for a formal evening of meticulously crafted performance with a well-mannered, attentive audience. However, for those in our community who have intellectual and developmental disabilities or are neurodivergent, the formal structure, unknown triggers, and strict behavior expectations of a traditional theater environment can feel like too big of a barrier. As a result, they end up b eing excluded from the theater experience, in some cases for their whole lives. This exclusion isn’t affecting a small handful of people. Nearly 7.4 million Americans have an intellectual or developmental disability, with one in every six children between the ages of 3 and 17 having one or more developmental disabilities. The numbers alone tell a clear story of a substantial p opulation in need of inclusion.

At the Lone Tree Arts Center, when we saw the need in our community for accessibility in the Arts, we chose to act.

We have dedicated countless hours to serving and including the full scope of our community; finding partners who could help us carry out innovative solutions and opportunities to realize our goal of accessible programming. The Lone Tree Arts Center actually ran its first inclusive show during

its first season! Since then, we have grown our sensory-inclusive program to the point of offering a show every month of our full season run. A large part of the reason we are able to offer this opportunity is thanks to the enthusiastic collaboration of our touring artists, along with funding from our donors and sponsors, and through special grants. Through this teamwork we have brought numerous performers, organizations, and corporations together to ensure that the Lone Tree Arts Center lives up to its ethos of “arts for all.”

Our sensory-inclusive programming is modified to create a welcoming and

supportive environment for children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as individuals with other sensitivity issues or developmental disabilities. Our visiting performers modify shows to ensure there are no startling noises or over-stimulating visual components. Audience members are asked to wave their hands rather than clap. Our tech team keeps sound levels lower and the lights in the audience higher than normal, ensuring audience members can see each other. Additionally, viewers are free to come and go as needed, with a special “quiet room” available nearby in our Event Hall for any audience member who may need a comfortable space to regulate. The combination of all these different elements has ultimately created a space where our patrons with special needs feel welcomed and encouraged to enjoy a theater experience that

caters to them and welcomes them, as they are, into the arts.

When we look back on all the work and hours that have been spent bringing this program to fruition, it can be easy to measure success in numbers; how many shows we’ve hosted, how many tickets we’ve sold. But the truth of our success actually lies in the direct impact to individuals, families, and support organizations. When members of the Friendship Circle organization refer to our programming as “a hidden gem” and families tell us they were able to bring their child to the theater for the first time ever thanks to our program, that’s how we know we are succeeding. The Lone Tree Arts Center staff is incredibly proud to be a local leader in sensoryinclusive programming and we look forward to continuing to serve our whole community with thoughtful programming options.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS:

A Lone Tree Tradition

When we think of holiday traditions, it’s likely that a number of images immediately spring to mind. Maybe there’s a movie that we sit down and watch with family every December. Or there’s a special dish that we cook every year that marks the b eginning of the season. In Lone Tree, we mark the holiday season with a celebration that’s all our own: Home for the Holidays.

In the performing arts, the holiday season is packed to the gills with traditions—whether it’s a dancing nutcracker or a Dickensian story of a curmudgeon and his ghosts. When the Lone Tree Arts Center (LTAC) began thinking about our holiday programming, we knew we wanted a program unlike anything else happening on stages around the Denver area, the state of Colorado, or the country. We took a look at

the kind of performances that we had on our stages throughout the rest of the year—popular music, jazz, musical theater, and more. It raised a question for us: how can we take our identity as a dynamic performing arts center and encapsulate it into a holiday show?

Enter producer Chris Starkey! As a partner in his company, Imprint Events, Chris is known for creating high-energy and vibrant productions around the country. With a network of inspiring artists of all ages, Chris utilizes his professional connections to bring an extraordinary caliber of talent to the LTAC stage.

“[Home for the Holidays builds on the] legacy of delivering awardwinning exceptional productions like W hite Christmas, South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, Noises Off, and Motones Vs Jerseys,” says Starkey.

Home for the Holidays 2022; Danny Lam

W ith a track record of theatrical producing alongside entertainment in Las Vegas, Starkey’s shows capture the nostalgic appeal of old-time variety shows.

I n a 2012 article in the Denver Post, author Ray Mark Rinaldi said “Home for the Holidays is the kind of oldschool variety show no one puts on anymore. You remember the genre: a few songs, a couple of dances, some novelty acts, maybe a comedy sketch.” By updating this genre with modern elements, and never losing sight of the holiday celebration, the production keeps audiences guessing about what kind of wonder they can experience. The past 10 years of producing Home for the Holidays has shown audiences something completely new every year.

In his article, Rinaldi summed it up well: “The show…is part Ed Sullivan, part Carol Burnett, even a little vaudeville—and so completely retro it actually sounds like a winning idea.”

Now in 2023, we have reached another milestone: Home for the Holidays is taking a break after this

year’s production. After 10 years, it is time for the production team to reevaluate our slate of holiday programming. LTAC maintains its commitment to producing and presenting remarkable arts experiences for all people and Home for the Holidays has been a cornerstone of that commitment. As we look to the future, we are g rateful to all the performers, creative staff, and producers that have made this event a wonderful tradition.

The Incredible Mary Louise Lee

There are few people that are as intimately familiar with the Lone Tree Arts Center as Mary Louise Lee. As one of our favorite performers for both Tunes on the Terrace and on our Main Stage, she’s a beloved and familiar face to our audiences. But she’s also a fixture at the Arts Center off-stage as well, as a full-time staff member in the role of Marketing Specialist.

Mary Louise has been a regular performer at the Lone Tree Arts Center since our inaugural Tunes on the Terrace season and has performed multiple times on our stages. She even performed over the summer at one of our Backyard Beats concerts in Sweetwater Park! On stage, Mary loves bringing joy to her audiences with her energetic performances, soaring vocals, and impeccable storytelling abilities. As our Marketing Specialist, she’s responsible for storytelling in a different way, mastering the visual language of all of our marketing materials so they catch our patrons’ attention and get new patrons interested in what’s going on here. She’s been a full-time staff member here since August of 2021—she’d seen the job posting and jumped at the chance to be involved in the organization that she’d admired. Most recently, she’s also taken over coordination of our At The Table programming, a panel series that aims to engage with BIPOC artists, arts leaders, and our community to discuss subjects related to artistic representation and actionable steps towards systemic change.

In addition to her regular duties, on-stage and off, Mary Louise was

also the vocal coach for LTAC’s recent return to theatrical productions with Dreamgirls. While also starring in Steel Magnolias at the Ent Center in Colorado Springs, Mary was working during the day at the office and then transitioning to vocal coach during the evenings.

As a true daughter of Denver, born and raised in the city, Mary Louise is a staple of the Denver arts and culture scene. Whether it’s on stage in a theatrical role or as a vocalist, she shines and we’re so lucky that we get a little bit of her light every day as a member of the Lone Tree Arts Center staff!

Catch Mary Louise on stage with the Mary Louise Lee Band here at LTAC on January 20, 2024, with a tribute to Tina Turner. She’s also performing on February 17, 2024, at Nissi’s, as well as being a featured vocalist with the CJRO at various performances in January and February of 2024.

Shaun Boothe returns to the LTAC stage for the third time in our student matinee series with

The Unauthorized Biography Series: Women of Influence

Shaun Boothe’s upcoming student matinee celebrates the lives of three impactful women through biographical hip-hop songs.

The Arts Center is presenting Shaun Boothe as part of our daytime student matinee series, welcoming middle and high school students from across the Denver metro area to listen, learn, and celebrate cultural icons. The Canadianborn singer turned TEDx presenter uses musical performance, rhyme, spoken word, and multi-media in his performances to captivate audiences with the life stories of icons like Serena Williams, Oprah, and Malala Yousafzai.

powerful and relevant life messages

feeling just as inspired by Shaun himself, an artist who is relatable, accomplished, and a model of strong character in his own right.

Often, student matinees for older students have a STEM-related theme to teach. However, Shaun’s series offers powerful and relevant life messages that support building well-rounded students who find value in Shaun’s lessons on placing character over reputation, fame, or circumstance. Shaun encourages students to examine their own strengths by highlighting the perseverance required for the icons in this series to overcome their own struggles.

their own struggles.

In the above photo, Boothe is engaging in an intimate Q&A with students from February of 2020. These students were on a field trip with the organization Celebrate the Beat, which provides in-school and after-school dance programs for youth-atrisk. Their tickets and busing were supported by our generous sponsors of Classroom On Stage.

While he is the storyteller, we know from experience that anyone who sees Shaun Boothe at the Arts Center will leave

Since his debut on the LTAC stage in 2019, Shaun has encouraged over 2,500 students in the metro area to “Live Your Legacy.”

Matching Corporate Gifts

Many employers now give employees a way to double the support to the causes you love by matching your gift to us. Check with your employer (or if retired, your previous employer) to take advantage and amplify your impact.

We offer a wide range of options for giving at the LTAC. Here are a couple highlights.

Monthly Giving Circle

Giving monthly is the easiest and most convenient way to give. LTAC monthly giving circle patron and Arts Commission member, Tonya Fallows, says:

If this sounds like a giving option for you, sign up here to get started: www.lonetreeartscenter.org/ monthly-donations or call Robin at (720)509-1009.

IRA Charitable Giving and Tax Savings

Consider donating gifts from your IRA, 401K, 403B, pension, or other tax-deferred plans.

“We give to support the unique experience of the Lone Tree Arts Center and save on our taxes as well.

Thanks to great advice from our financial advisor, we discovered that we could make a gift from our Required Minimum Distribution and not pay taxes on that amount. If you are 70-1/2, it’s critical to talk with your tax advisor or financial planner to discuss making charitable gifts through your Required Minimum Distribution. Any amount of up to $100,000 can be given tax free. We feel it’s worth the effort for our gift and tax planning. But even more, it’s the great feeling that comes from supporting Lone Tree Arts Center.”

—Becky Leibman and John Hoskins

Appreciated Stocks and Securities

The Lone Tree Arts Center Fund is ready to accept gifts of stocks through an account with Charles Schwab. By transferring appreciated stocks and securities to the Lone Tree Arts Center Fund you could avoid paying capital gains taxes, which might be a significant savings to you and a much-appreciated gift to us!

These are just a few ways you can give. With your support, you make a big difference for our community. Through your generosity, the Arts Center has become one of the most innovative and respected performing arts organizations in the Denver metro area, providing art and culture for all through our remarkable programming and community impact programs.
