A more natural approach to new urbanism.

New urbanism doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love for you to come visit. RidgeGate is just south of Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree.

Spotlight on...

KIDS!

Children are one of the fastest growing audiences at LTAC. With most of our shows selling out and a seemingly insatiable appetite for quality children’s theater, we are excited to offer a variety of programs that cross into various age groups and curriculum to extend learning and fun from the classroom to the stage.

Seedlings On the first Tuesday of every month at 9:30am and 11am, we entertain little ones with everything from puppets to pigs and storytime to science! Open to Pre-K children and their caregivers, our programs aim to entertain and educate the youngest minds.

Passport to Culture You don’t need a plane ticket to help your school-aged children explore their world. We invite families to join us every month on Sunday afternoons to expand their horizons through art, science and culture. Gain some new perspective and take a trip with us!

Children’s Theater Student Matinees

To make thousands of kids more excited about their schoolwork every year, we partner with local teachers to help select shows that fit into their curriculum. Working with national touring groups and performers like Buntport Theatre, we’re able to build performances that enhance the learning experience in subjects from language arts to history.

Public showings The Lone Tree Arts Center is the perfect place for families to enjoy more time together. Whether you’re joining us for fun or to learn something new, our performances bring new worlds to life and help ideas and books, like Fancy Nancy, jump off the page.

Yesterday & Today, the All-Request Beatles Tribute

WHAT WE’RE MOST

Looking Forward To Each year, we ask the LTAC staff for the show they are most looking forward to in the coming season. We are always excited about the variety of shows picked and why everyone chooses what they do. Take a peek!

Stacie Cisco, Rentals & Sales Coordinator: I’m most looking forward to Yesterday & Today, the All-Request Beatles Tribute. While I’m not a huge Beatles fan, it was so much fun seeing our audience get completely into the performance and hooting and hollering and singing along. This is one show you don’t want to miss a second time around. Kathy Denzer, Administrative Assistant: Judy Collins is my pick this season. What a history this woman has! I have always been a Folkie and her tunes bring about some old yet fond memories for me.

Jeannene Bragg, Operations Director: I can’t wait to see Wonderbound perform at LTAC, especially in collaboration with local band Chimney Choir! Wonderbound is magical on stage and the combination of these two innovative organizations is sure to be fantastic!

LONE T R EE A RT S CEN T ER

Judy Collins

Jen Kiser, Assistant Technical Director: I’m most looking forward to The 39 Steps. Not only do I love Alfred Hitchcock, and think the script for the show is hilarious, but I can’t wait to produce the show ourselves! There are endless gimmicks and gags in the show, and I can’t wait to see everyone put their heads together and figure out how to get them all onstage and into a really fun show!

Songs of Love with Mark Masri

Ashley Loudermilk, Box Office Manager: This Texas girl is looking forward to Cowboy Christmas (as if I need another excuse to wear my cowboy boots to work that day)! Who doesn’t love to listen to your favorite Christmas songs with some country twang mixed in? Sons and Brothers with Poet Waddie Mitchell are just going to put on a great show… I think everyone will leave with warm hearts and ready to spend the holidays with their friends and family.

Lesley Colwell, Special Events Coordinator: This may be a little corny, but as a newlywed, I’m looking forward to Mark Masri’s Songs of Love on Valentine’s Day. Should be the perfect date for all couples and I’m a big fan of chocolate and champagne so count me in!

Thaddeus Valdez, House Manager and Box Office Representative: I’m most excited about

Wonderbound

An Evening with Nathan Gunn. I have followed Mr. Gunn’s career ever since he won the Met Competition when he was in his early 20’s. As a singer myself, I am continually impressed and inspired by his superior vocal technique, artistry, commanding presence and substantial acting chops. w w w.LoneTreeA rtsCenter.org

10 Fun Facts About

The musical is based on two short stories - ”The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown” and “Blood Pressure” - by fabled New York writer Damon Runyon. Guys and Dolls was selected as the winner of the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. However, because of writer Abe Burrows’ troubles with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), the Trustees of Columbia University vetoed the selection and no Pulitzer for Drama was awarded that year. When the first version of the show’s book, written by Jo Swerling, was deemed unusable, the producers asked radio comedy writer Abe Burrows to write a new version of the book. The character of Miss Adelaide was created specifically to fit Vivian Blaine into the musical after composer Frank Loesser said she wasn’t suited to play the conservative Sarah but the producers wanted the star to be in the show. The original Broadway production won every Tony Award it was nominated for, including Best Musical. An all-black cast staged the first Broadway revival of the show, which opened in 1976 at The Broadway Theatre. This production featured Motown-style musical arrangements by Danny Holgate and Horace Ott. The 1992 Broadway revival won seven Tony Awards and catapulted actors Nathan Lane (Nathan Detroit) and Faith Prince (Adelaide) to the Broadway stratosphere. Laurence Olivier wanted to play Nathan Detroit, and began rehearsals for a planned 1971 London revival of Guys and Dolls at his National Theatre Company’s Old Vic theatre. However, due to his poor health, the revival never happened. On November 3, 1955 the film version of the musical was released, starring Marlon Brando as Sky, Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit, and Jean Simmons as Sarah, with Vivian Blaine reprising her role as Adelaide. The concert version of Guys and Dolls was first produced in August 2009 at The Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, California, starring Scott Bakula (Nathan Detroit), Brian Stokes Mitchell (Sky Masterson), Ellen Greene (Miss Adelaide), and Jessica Biel (Sarah Brown).

WHO IS...

Michael Duran After just a few minutes sitting with Michael Duran, you learn something very key–this man is a theater nerd in the best sense. He can’t be contained in merely one box–scenic designer, director, actor, theater historian all seem to fit nicely. A Renaissance Man of Denver’s theater scene, Michael proudly says he has never earned a living doing anything other than theater. Never had to “subsidize” by waiting tables, never needed to “pick up a few shifts” to make rent. He is one of the few that jumped into theater young and never looked back–never had an escape lever to pull. This past season, LTAC audiences enjoyed Michael’s set design work on Sylvia, Home for the Holidays and Big River. When he was 15 years old, Michael wanted to be an artist, but his brother told him there was no money in that and he should do something else. But, as with many success stories, love (or maybe just a teenage crush) got in the way of finding that something else. The girl Michael was dating was in drama and needed help painting drops for the show. Michael ended up working on the scenery, then was cast in a walk-on role, then was promoted at the last moment to a lead role in Lil’ Abner when the General quit just two days before the show. From the first time he set foot on the stage, Michael was hooked. Today, Michael works primarily as a scenic designer and college professor. His work has been seen at various theaters throughout town including Curious Theater, The Aurora Fox, and Creede Repertory Theatre. In fact, one year Michael took on 27 different projects (which he says was “just too much”). It’s easy to see why Michael craved being an artist; when asked the best part of scenic design, Michael says, “In two months’ time, this is going to be a real-life sculpture on stage. [I’m the] first to see it, first to know it.” He begins each process with hand drawn sketches that no one gets to see until they are more fleshed out. That magical time

LONE T R EE A RT S CEN T ER

LTAC’s Big River, 2014 when it’s all in his head is full of possibility and his creative sensibilities are drawn out. You’ll have the opportunity to see Michael’s work at LTAC several times this season. From children’s shows to plays to holiday trimmings, Michael has played an instrumental part in the LTAC family over the last two seasons. We know you’ll enjoy what he brings this year!

Judy Collins

NOVEMBER 30TH AT 7:30PM “I’ve looked at life from both sides now, From win and lose and still somehow, It’s life’s illusions I recall, I really don’t know life at all” Those words, from Judy Collins hit single “Both Sides, Now” were written by Joni Mitchell and earned Collins her first Grammy Award in 1967. A signature work and a staple of folk music, “Both Sides, Now” helped solidify Collins’ place in the vanguard of the folk scene of the late 1960s. Now, after five decades as a singer, songwriter, and performer, Collins continues to move and inspire audiences around the world. Born in Seattle, Washington in 1939, Collins was the oldest of five children born to a blind radio disc jockey and singer. The family moved to Denver in 1949 where Collins began studying classical piano. A prodigy, she gave her first public performance here at the age of 13, performing Mozart’s “Concerto for Two Pianos”. Her Colorado roots run deep, but it was the burgeoning American folk scene in the early 1960s that pulled at her heart and ultimately paved the way for her enduring impact as a recording

artist. Today, Collins is recognized among the Who’s Who of the folk movement, including Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, Joan Baez and Leonard Cohen among others. Judy Collins’ pure, soaring voice and her reputation as a dazzling interpreter of other’s lyrics have brought her great acclaim. One of her biggest hits came from the Broadway stage with Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns”. Recorded by Collins in 1975, it hit the Billboard charts immediately (and did the same in its re-release several years later). Her version of “Amazing Grace” in 1970 remains a standard. Her broad catalogue of influences extends beyond her own work: the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young hit “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” was written for Collins. Today, Judy Collins continues to be a figurehead in American music. She tours internationally, and produces albums for herself and others. She is also a passionate social activist, and focuses on important issues such as mental health and suicide prevention. www.judycollins.com

The Few. The Proud. The LTAC Ushers.

Mary McMillan, Betsy Schutte, Bonnie Staack, Brenda Vitaska, Lynda Meier

What happens when you put 150 willing people in green scarves and ties? They become the welcome wagon, safety team, and overall face of LTAC. And they do it all as volunteers! Last season, the LTAC usher corps donated over 7,500 hours of their time to ensure a safe and happy experience for our patrons, and boy, are we glad they did! Standing at the ready for everything from scanning tickets, seating patrons, and welcoming you as they point out the restrooms, the ushers make show nights flow seamlessly. Mary McMillan, who worked over sixty performances last season, says she loves to usher because the ushers and staff are all there for each other. “You can call on anyone for anything; it’s a great team!” says Mary, and she’s not alone. The primary reason most of our ushers joined (and stay) is because they enjoy meeting new people and making friends. Helping with children’s performances and getting children from buses to seats in follow-the-leader manner might just be one of the more humorous jobs our ushers

undertake, but it’s also one of the group’s favorites! Mary says, “It’s so cool to see little people so excited! I love to hear their questions and see them really thinking after the performance ends when they come up with questions for the performers.” In the 2013-14 Season, Brenda Vitaska was named Usher of the Year for her outstanding work as a volunteer, giving nearly 300 hours of service! As a tribute to her, you can find a seat plaque in Brenda’s name in the Main Stage Theater. Brenda helps out with everything from school day performances to hanging artwork to Main Stage shows where you’ll often find her running around the balcony. As to why she volunteers, Brenda quotes Winston Churchill by saying “You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give. I get a helper’s high… it’s fun and it makes me happy!” If you see a member of our team in green, please take a moment to tell them thank you. This group of dedicated volunteers help keep LTAC the welcoming and enjoyable place we all love to be.

Donor Profiles CHARLES SCHWAB The Lone Tree Arts Center is proud to welcome Charles Schwab as a sponsor and a neighbor. The Charles Schwab Corporation is a leading provider of financial services. Schwab’s new Colorado campus at RidgeGate will consolidate and replace Schwab’s service center facilities. The new campus is designed to create a sustainable, visually appealing and strong identity within the community. Schwab strives to make positive social impact through support of employee volunteerism and philanthropy as well as through educational programs, initiatives and advocacy designed to improve financial literacy and capability for people at different stages of life. Educational programs include the Schwab Money Wise® website and workshops, designed to help families learn and teach money basics. The Money Matters: Make it Count program, in collaboration with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, teaches teens about personal finance. And a program in collaboration with AARP Foundation, Finances 50+, helps people 50 and older who are struggling to make ends meet. Schwab employees donate their time and talents throughout the year to charitable organizations and an annual event during the third week in May – “Schwab Volunteer Week” – brings a special focus to this effort. Throughout the week, employees from coast to coast receive paid time off to team up on community service projects.

RIDGEGATE

RidgeGate is a mixed-use sustainable community that will eventually span over 3,500 acres in Lone Tree, Colorado. What makes RidgeGate unique is the dynamic blend of urban and open - where the city meets the prairie. Over a third of RidgeGate’s acreage is dedicated to open space, parks, trails and preserved land. The community offers a healthy blend of residential neighborhoods and retail villages, office districts, corporate campuses and cultural amenities, including the world-class Lone Tree Arts Center. RidgeGate regularly sponsors community events ranging from concerts and festivals, to nature hikes and yoga in the park. The vibrancy of RidgeGate is growing, with the new building of state-of the-art homes and luxury apartment living. The commercial districts are expanding with new retailers and employment headquarters. In fact, more than 2,500 residents and over 3,000 workers are part of the daily rhythm of life in RidgeGate. The community is connected to the greater metro area via Lincoln Station with additional light rail access planned. RidgeGate’s West Village will be complete in the next few years and development on the east side of I-25 will begin in the near future. RidgeGate is growing methodically, with a commitment to what is smart, sustainable, and represents the best in mixed-use community design. Visit www.ridgegate.com for more information, or stay connected with the community on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Donor Profiles SCIENTIFIC & CULTURAL FACILITIES DISTRICT The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) is a polar bear at the zoo, a Van Gogh at the museum, a pirouette at the ballet, and Henry V at the theater. Over 300 cultural institutions in the Denver metro area receive support and funding via the SCFD. This creates a rich, robust landscape of cultural opportunities for our children and our neighbors. From a child on a field trip seeing a woolly mammoth to a grandfather showing his family what his aircraft looked like in WWII to a family celebrating the holidays together with live entertainment, the SCFD helps make the memories we cherish possible. One penny on every $10 purchase within the seven-county region (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties) is distributed via the SCFD. Since its inception in 1989, the SCFD has served a mission that enlightens and entertains the public. Annually distributing approximately $40 million, the Denver metro has been elevated to a world-class cultural center through the funding the SCFD provides to cultural organizations of all sizes and disciplines. For information on free days and organizations, visit www.scfd.org.

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER GUILD Even before the Arts Center opened, the LTAC Guild was there and ready to help. Donating time and resources, this group of motivated women and men work behind the scenes to fundraise and bring awareness to LTAC year-round. One of the most important ways they support LTAC is by underwriting children’s access to theater. Each year, the Guild pays the ticket fees and bus fees for hundreds of children to attend live theater at LTAC. It’s exciting to see their faces light up when an actor comes on the stage - and the Guild makes that happen! The Guild also uses its fundraising reach for other projects around LTAC; they have provided booster seats for children in the Main Stage Theater and this year they paid for the installation of a permanent bar in the Terrace Theater. This dynamic group works hard year-round with fundraisers including a fashion show and autumn boutique. They also host fun meetings with behind-the-scenes info about LTAC and other exciting activities. The Guild started a community tradition in 2012, providing the giant holiday tree that trims our Terrace Theater each December. Each season’s Holiday Kick-Off is underwritten by the Guild, and features free cocoa, cookies, and lots of merriment are shared as carols ring out. Sound like too much fun to miss? Join this dynamic group today by visiting www.lonetreeartscenterguild.org.

Theater Trivia What part of the theater constitutes the fourth wall?

Where in the theater will you find a barn door?

a) The wall farthest upstage b) The wall between the house & the lobby c) The imaginary line between onstage and offstage d) The imaginary line between the stage and the audience

a) The door through which scenery is loaded in b) On stage lights c) It is a nickname for the doors through which the audience enters d) Any door found on scenery

Answer d) In practical terms, the fourth wall is the wall that is missing from a three-walled or box set, often built to look like a realistic room. Obviously, this wall cannot exist if the audience is able to see the play—and yet, the performers act as if the wall is real. This term, popularized in the 19th century, came to represent the imaginary boundary between performers and audience in all styles of theater. Likewise, the illusion is shared by audience members, who suspend their disbelief for the duration of the play, and accept the “reality” of the world they witness. When performers “break” the fourth wall, they shatter the imaginary boundary, and directly speak to or acknowledge the presence of the audience. Suspension of disbelief among audience members is often so strong, that breaking the fourth wall can be quite dramatic—or comedic.

Answer: b) A barn door is a stage lighting

From where do we derive the term “slapstick?” a) Ancient Greek theater b) Vaudeville c) Italian theater d) Opera

Answer

c) Today, we use the term “slapstick” to describe physical, absurd and often violent comedy. An actual “slap stick” is a device made of two wooden slats that produces a loud sound. It was first used in commedia dell’arte, which is a style of theater performed in Italy in the 16th century. The phrase roughly translates to “comedy of craft,” and performances usually consisted of easily recognizable social archetypes.

LONE T R EE A RT S CEN T ER

accessory used on a “wash” lighting fixture. The barn door is actually a set of four flaps (or “doors”) that can be attached to the front of the light. The flaps can be set in various positions in front of the beam of light, cutting the light off of anywhere it isn’t wanted.

What do the words “Austrian,” “Venetian,” “traveler” and “oleo” have in common? a) They are common character types from classic stage productions b) They are types of hardware frequently used in set construction c) They are pieces commonly found on costumes d) They are types of stage curtains

Answer: d) These are some of the many different types of curtains you may see in a theater. The name refers to the way in which the curtain is rigged, and how it moves. Austrian and Venetian curtains are elaborately rigged and pleated, and are raised vertically from many rigging points. A traveler splits in the center and opens and closes from the sides of the stage, rather than from above. An oleo is usually a painted drop with a tube attached to the bottom. It is rigged so that as the tube is raised, the drop rolls onto it, from the bottom up. Here at the Arts Center, we have two rigged full stage curtains, the main drape at the proscenium line, and one that can be hung from any lineset above our stage. Both can “travel” (move side to side) or “guillotine” (be raised and lowered).
