ARTIST PROFILE
SHAUN BOOTHE: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY SERIES This January 23 and 24, the Lone Tree Arts Center presents storyteller Shaun Boothe, who melds his talent as a hip-hop artist and his passion as a motivational speaker into a unique style of educational entertainment. Through his Unauthorized Biography Series for students and families, the Canadianborn musician and TEDx presenter uses musical performance, rhyme, spoken word, and multimedia to tell the life stories of current and historic cultural icons. His presentation at the Arts Center will feature biographical raps of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Muhammad Ali, and Malala Yousafzai. Shaun Boothe joins us as part of the Arts Center’s Student Matinee series, and we’ll welcome hundreds of students from across the Denver metro area to listen, learn, and celebrate these life stories. He describes this series as a celebration of greatness made not just to inform and entertain, but to inspire and awaken the greatness within us all. With a powerful message that crosses generations, we are also presenting an evening Main Stage performance on January 24, and we hope families will attend together.
He will also make an on-site presentation of Live Your Legacy to a local school, which ties to our outreach to Title 1 schools. It’s an extension of the biography series, delivered as a dynamic motivational and educational assembly that encourages students to focus on character over reputation, character over fame, and character over circumstances. As a storyteller, Shaun Boothe shares inspiring accounts of others’ lives. But when you see and hear him at the Arts Center, you will leave feeling just as inspired by this artist who models strong character in his own right. Join us in January for this not-to-bemissed experience! The Arts Center presents Shaun Boothe with the sponsorship support of Merrick & Company, and the in-school visit will be made possible through a grant from Western States Arts Federation. Thanks to these and all of our generous supporters who help make remarkable arts happen for everyone in our community.

PARTNER PROFILE
Creative Connections Using the Arts In the lobby of the Lone Tree Arts Center, a photo beckons. Installed in the gallery space on the east side of the long wall, A Path Through the Layers of Time hangs as part of the 2018 Exploring the Light photo show. The artist, Steve Sorensen, happens to overhear staff discussing his piece as one we’ve selected from the exhibit to be used in an upcoming SPARK! session focused on visual art. We share the Art Center’s commitment to quality cultural experiences for those in our community and this particular partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado and our use of music, poetry, visual art, dance, and storytelling as a means to engage participants in lively discussions and other multi-sensory activities. Unable to make the May session, Steve hoped we’d be able to use his art in the future when he could be in attendance. Little did we know that an opportunity would present itself for him to personally engage and make an impact in a way he had not imagined. Just two months later, Steve brought several photos, some gathered from their perch on gallery walls around the metro area, to the lobby for a lively discussion of his works. The folks in attendance, those facing memory loss and their caregivers, were treated to stories about the images and their locations. Steve encouraged and they responded to this engagement by offering their opinions and sharing memories from travels to faraway places. During the social time afterward, one patron was heard saying, “I had no idea my wife had ridden a gondola in Venice!” Research shows that when viewing art, the brain is stimulated in multiple ways. The result is those with dementia can suddenly relay ideas, events, and stories that otherwise might be inaccessible. The reward is that arts engagement such as SPARK! helps us bring purpose, joy, and hope to those in attendance. Learn more at lonetreeartscenter.org/spark

BEEHIVE: The 60’s Musical at the Arts Center April 3—13!

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
It’s OUR Party!
BEEHIVE: THE 60’S MUSICAL You’re invited! Beehive is a wild toe-tapping, head shakin’ musical tribute to the rockin’ women who made the music of the 1960s so special—everyone from Lesley Gore to Janis Joplin, from the Shirelles to the Supremes, Aretha Franklin to Tina Turner, and every woman in between! Featuring such timeless classics as “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “Be My Baby,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” “Proud Mary,” and “Me and Bobby McGee,” Beehive recalls the days of miniskirts, transistor radios, and flower power. Told from the perspective of six young women who came of age in this enigmatic decade, these young ladies look back on a host of issues ranging from their first Beehive Dance to the challenges we faced as a nation— all accomplished by a vast array of the most celebrated and memorable songs of the era. Beehive is directed by Denverite (and LTAC favorite) Candy Brown. LTAC audiences know her from her acting work in Love Letters, as well as her choreography of Big River. Outside of the Denver area, Brown is known for originating the role of June in the 1975 Bob Fosse-directed Broadway musical Chicago, and she was an original participant in the history making
workshop of A Chorus Line. Brown has starred on stage and screen ever since, including the film Ali, where she played mother to Will Smith’s Muhammad Ali. When asked why she’s excited to direct and choreograph the Arts Center’s production of Beehive, Brown says, “Beehive gives me a chance to revisit my childhood... the days of Shindig and Hullabaloo and of course American Bandstand. There were only three channels on TV, so everybody tuned in to hear the latest music. The music of Beehive is not only a peek into the popular culture, it was the burgeoning beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Movement. These girls that wrote and/or performed these songs were groundbreaking more than I had realized when I was listening back then and just twisting the night away. For those who were there, it’ll be a great dance down memory lane with maybe a new perspective. For those who came later, it’ll be a peek into history underscored with a great beat. For everybody, it’s a rockin’, laughin’, forget-your-troubles good time! We have six amazing women stacking the old 45’s, and I dare you to stay seated.”

Founded in 1955, Merrick & Company is an employee-owned engineering, architecture, design-build, surveying, and geospatial firm. Merrick serves U.S. and international clients in energy, sustainable infrastructure, national security, and life sciences markets. Merrick’s active corporate responsibility (CR) program focuses on environmental, social, and economic needs in the communities they serve. With its home base in south Denver and its emphasis on promoting STEM learning, Merrick helps the Lone Tree Arts Center present some of our most popular educational programming for young audiences. Since 2015, Merrick has invested in Lone Tree Arts Center’s productions for children, students, and families through generous sponsorship. In fact, the company has been a key supporter of STEM-focused kid favorites, such as Doktor Kaboom and Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo Live. With Merrick’s help, these productions captured the imaginations of more than 2,500 eager learners. “STEM Edge is a pillar of our CR program,” explains Dave Huelskamp, Merrick’s Chairman and CEO. “The Arts Center helps us meet our goals by creatively introducing young people to the sciences. That’s why we appreciate this partnership.”

Early this spring, when we announced the return of Australia’s Erth Company, the producers of immersive paleontology and puppetry spectaculars, Merrick enthusiastically agreed to be the presenting sponsor of the Erth’s Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure. From November 1–3, we invited more than 1,000 children to jump in and explore unknown ocean depths where ancient marine reptiles lived eons ago— and maybe still do! Taking elementary students on an adventure of prehistoric proportions is one way to give students a learning edge. However, this season, Merrick will also help the Arts Center present the contemporary performer and motivational speaker, Shaun Boothe, who encourages middle and high school students to explore powerful life stories of cultural icons (learn more on page 10). By supporting diverse programming for young audiences, Merrick & Company helps the Arts Center introduce children to live performances that reinforce core learning and positive examples of character—both of which could give students an edge that inspires future success.

HOSPITALITY SPONSORS
We are proud to partner with:
• Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows • Hampton Inn & Suites Denver South/ RidgeGate • Residence Inn by Marriott, Denver South/ Park Meadows Mall • Townplace Suites Denver South Lone Tree
One of our goals at the Lone Tree Arts Center is to make sure you feel so welcome when you walk through our doors that you can’t wait to come back. We extend genuine hospitality to everyone. That is true for patrons, and it’s also true for the artists we present. Many artists travel from faraway places to perform in our venue, and we want to make sure they feel at home and have memorable experiences. That includes extending hospitality while they’re here. To make a warm welcome possible, the Arts Center partners with hotels in our area to provide accommodations to touring artists, whether they’re here for extended stays or one night. We work with hotel partners who can provide the best possible service to our artists, and take care of special requests, whether that’s a humidifier to soothe tired vocal cords or a late night restaurant to satisfy a post-show appetite. Speaking of restaurants, we also partner with eateries to provide catering for artists while they’re here; our partnership with Seasons 52 Fresh Grill is a perfect example. Artists often provide careful instructions about their dietary needs, and Seasons 52 is able to deliciously accommodate requests. We’re thrilled to be able to support local businesses that provide our artists with hospitality excellence— ensuring that the artists we present can’t wait to come back to Lone Tree!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Their smiling faces are often the first you see when you walk through the doors at the Arts Center—their white shirts and green scarves and ties are unmistakable. Our usher corps is an integral part of our team here at the Arts Center; we wouldn’t be able to have performances without them!
28
LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
Many of our ushers hear about the usher program at the Arts Center from friends, or have been patrons and want to become more involved. To become an usher at the Arts Center, you have to attend one of the two trainings that we hold throughout the year. This training goes over the guidelines and responsibilities of the usher program, and includes safety training and a brief tour of the Arts Center. They participate in an evacuation drill inside the theater during each training to make sure that they’re prepared in case of an emergency. To keep active as an usher, each volunteer must complete this training at least once a year. As a new usher, you shadow a more experienced usher for three shifts, one shift for each position during a show. And then you’re officially ready for duty! We have an exceptionally loyal group of ushers here at the Arts Center, and we are so grateful for them! Some ushers have even been here since the beginning of the Arts Center, way back in 2011. Lynda Meier and Katy Dole have been Ambassadors (an elite group of ushers who spend the most time throughout the year at the Arts Center), since our first full season in
2012 and they’re still ushering now! Lynda attended an open house before the Arts Center opened—there was a mention of volunteering as an usher and she immediately asked for an application and hasn’t looked back! Katy says that “coming back is easy, the hard part is staying away. I love the arts and love the people—this is just the greatest.” Our ushers also play an integral role in our Community Impact programs. In addition to ushering for shows, our volunteers have the opportunity to assist with our Sensory Friendly Usher training, our SPARK! programming, for those with Alzheimer’s and their caretakers; and with our Classroom on Stage program, where they actually go out into schools and act as ambassadors for the Arts Center to prepare students for their first visit to the theater. Each of these programs require extra training and our ushers have really risen to the challenge. Leading our usher corps are our amazing House Managers, who manage the ushers during the night of show and make sure that everything is running smoothly, especially for staff and patrons. The Arts Center
currently has three house managers and all three of them started out as volunteers, so they’re uniquely qualified for their positions. Ken Fisher says the best part of the job is the variety of people that he interacts with as a house manager: from the ushers, to patrons, to staff. With his background in training and development, he always wants our volunteers to feel prepared and knowledgeable. Lately, he’s helped our Marketing Director to revamp the usher training program, calling on his skill set to make sure that our ushers are comfortable with their jobs. As a staff, the Arts Center knows that we couldn’t provide our high standard of programming and customer service if it wasn’t for our volunteers. We really encourage our ushers to take pride in their place at the Arts Center and the level of service they provide. Lynda mentions that she’s “proud after an event when the theater goers thank us as they leave a show.” Our current Usher of the Year, Elaine Thorne wants our patrons to know to not be afraid to ask the ushers questions or ask for assistance, because the ushers are there to “make your time at LTAC the best it can be!”
