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.

Spotlight on... Since opening our doors in 2011, the number of tickets sold to senior performances at the Lone Tree Arts Center has nearly quadrupled, making it one of our fastest growing programs at the Arts Center. From weekday matinées of our theatrical shows to our monthly Arts in the Afternoon program, we reach over 3,200 seniors each season, and that number continues to rise. Each year, our daytime offerings specifically designed for the senior community grow as demand increases. Douglas County is home to a rising population of retirees, and we are thrilled to provide professional performances while it’s still light outside! Our Arts in the Afternoon program is a series of weekday afternoon concerts and performances that give our senior community the opportunity to enjoy a variety of styles in an intimate setting. From Beethoven’s Birthday Celebration to 12
LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
SENIORS Colcannon featuring authentic and joyous Irish music, Arts in the Afternoon is designed to transport guests out of the ordinary. Refreshments are provided as part of the ticket fee, and we encourage all to stay after the performance to talk with performers and other concert goers. We also offer a discounted weekday matinee of our theatrical shows such as Home for the Holidays and The 39 Steps. This performance is frequently the first to sell-out for each run and is a ton of fun for those that call themselves “seniors” and those that aren’t quite ready to use that label yet. If you are interested in supporting senior programs at LTAC, please contact our development team at 720-509-1009.

Wonderbound Saturday, April 25th at 8:00 pm Denver’s premier contemporary ballet company is known for their highly creative performances that blend dance, live music, and lighting into a magical theatrical experience. “What we are best at is telling stories,” explains Artistic Director Garrett Ammon. “The name Wonderbound captures possibility…the idea of taking you on a journey outside your normal reality and into new territory.” 14
L O N E TT R E E A R T S C E N T E R
Wonderbound. If you dream. If you love. If you wonder. knowledge or background is not necessary to be moved by our work; a sense of adventure is all you need!” Wonderbound’s performances are characterized by collaboration and live music. Successful collaborations with groups ranging from the folksy Paper Bird to the classical Colorado Symphony Orchestra, have brought Wonderbound to a great place creatively. Ammon shared that “these undertakings have produced artistic creations that erase boundaries between mediums, and engage artists and audiences in candid explorations of the human experience.”
JOIN US ON THE ADVENTURE On April 25, the Lone Tree Arts Center invites you to come along for the wild, wonderful ride that is Wonderbound as they collaborate with local folk/rock band Chimney Choir to present a world premiere Boomtown: Tales from the River Valley. For those new to Wonderbound or dance performance in general, Ammon extends a special invitation. “Our shows are very accessible and use theatricality to tell a story that leaves audiences transfixed and transported, taken in by live music, dance and stage artistry. Dance is merely our starting vocabulary, which our talented artists and musicians use as a base to create a fully immersive experience that captures people in the moment. Dance
In Boomtown at LTAC, they will be working with the local folk/rock group Chimney Choir, known for their tight harmonies, creative combinations of instruments and found objects, and genrebending composition. “Chimney Choir are remarkable musicians, immensely creative and fearless,” states Ammon. “For this show, they put it all out there and try new things. We are both doing new work, all from scratch. They are creating an entire soundscape, really symphonic in quality.” Ammon says the way he approaches collaboration with other artists is to start a conversation, learning what they are each interested in and looking for points of intersection. This allows each group to create work that wouldn’t have occurred to either group on their own. “We bring creative minds together and tread into new territory.” “Our inspiration for Boomtown is about community and specifically this community. What is Denver about? What makes this place remarkable and special? We are exploring how Denver has been built on and continues to have booms that catapult the city forward in big ways, but lead to busts as well. We are still creating the show, but it will be great fun, blending modern myth with a bit of tongue in cheek satire.” www.wonderbound.com www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org

Silliness from Screen to Stage By: Katie Maltais I can admit it now. When my professor assigned us the task of seeing The 39 Steps at the Tricycle Theatre in London in 2006, I was less than thrilled. My response was something like “seriously?” I doubted a play based on a movie based on a novel written in 1915 was going to be up my alley. Then, the professor upped the ante – we had to watch the Alfred Hitchcock movie before we went. Ugh. Always the studious one, I watched the movie with my classmates despite my reservations. Having never seen a Hitchcock film, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I must say, I did not enjoy the film. Now I had even more doubts about going to this play. I reluctantly arrived at the small-ish theater (about half the size of LTAC) the night of the show. And against all odds, I started laughing right away. Midway through the first act, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Looking at how much everyone around me was enjoying themselves, I started to feel silly for ever doubting I would enjoy myself. My classmates and I had a lively discussion in class that week. We had a self-proclaimed Hitchcock aficionado, major “theater geeks”, people that just joined the class to get free tickets to West End shows, and complete theater novices. It was the first show of the semester we all agreed on – we loved 18 1 8
L O N E TT R E E A R T S C E N T E R
it. All for very different reasons, but all nonetheless. Somehow the quirky, up-tempo show resonated with everyone, regardless of background. That production was given the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and when the show opened in New York the following year, it took the Tony for Best Play as well as three other categories. Since then, the show has been produced around the world and all over the US. It’s been called “what the West End has been waiting for” (The Observer), “a wonderful triumph of theater” (BBC Radio), “hugely entertaining... clever, witty, ingenious” (Sunday Times), and one magazine said “you’d be crackers, old bean, to miss it” (Stour & Avon). When we were looking for a show to add to the 2014-15 season, I was strongly in favor of this choice. The dynamic show is everything you could want in a comedy – fast, quick-witted, and funny. Four actors playing 150 roles may sound like mayhem – and at some points it is – but it is always enjoyable. As someone that once doubted The 39 Steps, I encourage you to join me for this show. Bring some friends. But first, have a movie night. It really does make it just that much funnier.

Who is...
ROB COSTIGAN
Before we answer the question of who is Rob, we need to ask the question “what is a prop?” A property, or prop as it’s commonly referred to, is anything moveable or portable on a set. Which, yes, can include things like a couch! Most of the time we think of hand props, which an actor carries on and off the stage, but the definition is very broad. And that is where Rob Costigan comes in! As a props designer, Rob collaborates with the director, scenic designer, costume designer, and actors to get just the right piece for each prop. Creating is second nature for Rob, who would go to his dad’s workbench as a child and create something new and different from whatever was laying around. His love for theater grew throughout high school, and he went to college to major in musical theater. Working as an actor for years, Rob has done thirty-two shows at the Arvada Center and was a regular performer at Country Dinner Playhouse. After Country Dinner Playhouse closed its doors in 2007, Rob knew he needed to supplement his income, and wanted to stick close to theater. He took a job creating props for Alter Boyz at Town Hall Arts Center with Nick Sugar and was hooked! Rob loves the thrill of “finding the things people carry with them through life.” He starts each project by reading the script start to finish, 22
LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
then going back through to highlight what is specifically called for. Then, he adds in what will truly make the characters and the scene come to life. “I really want to find an item specifically for that character. What kind of pen would he own?” says Rob. When Rob and his partner Bob Bauer created props for Big River last season, Rob wanted to concentrate on period-specific props. He focused in on things like what Pap’s knife should be and how used it should look. This tedious process of finding or building the exact pieces that complete the picture of who a character is can be very time consuming. While most of his pieces are built or found for the show he is working on, Rob also keeps a collection of interesting finds he picks up at antique stores or flea markets that he thinks just might come in handy for a show down the road. Rob has been seen as an actor in a number of LTAC performances, and his props have run the gamut from giant white vegetables in the children’s show Bunnicula to the zany objects that are made human by the actors in this spring’s The 39 Steps. Whether it’s an object made to stand out or one that humanizes a set to make it look “lived in”, chances are it was careful research and selection that led Rob to choose it.

Nathan Gunn Tuesday, March 10th at 7:30 pm “I love new pieces. They take up a lot of time, but it’s worth it for me. As a musician, I don’t want to be a curator of opera. I want to help create the new ones.” Nathan Gunn, international opera superstar, has managed not only to create new roles throughout his career, but powerfully portray classic, more familiar roles as well. Since bursting onto the opera scene as the winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 1994, Nathan has captured the hearts of audiences all over the world. Born and raised in South Bend Indiana, Nathan Gunn began singing publicly at age 8 in church choirs. He sang because of his love for the music, but that wasn’t his only hobby. During his youth he was very active in sports including boxing, karate, and football. He was also asked to audition for several musicals throughout high school because he was the “boy with the pretty voice.” It wasn’t until nearly 10 years later, however, that he ever considered a future in music. Gunn recalled later in life, “My mom’s idea was that I should take voice lessons. Since I liked to sing, she thought I could make money singing at weddings.” It wasn’t until late in high school that he decided to apply to music schools instead of pursuing a career in the armed forces, his original plan. Nathan Gunn decided to follow his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps by attending the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, where he is now a part-time vocal professor. Fortunately for the rest of the world, he spends much of his remaining time on tour. Today, Gunn is one of the most sought after baritones and has performed with several of the most storied operas including the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Paris Opera, Bayerische Staatsoper, Glyndebourne Opera Festival, Theater an der 26
LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
Wien, Teatro Real in Madrid, and more. Also a distinguished concert performer, Mr. Gunn has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Over the last 20 years of his professional career Nathan Gunn has received many accolades and much recognition for his work. He was the recipient of the first annual Beverly Sills Artist Award and was awarded the Pittsburgh Opera Renaissance Award. He is an alumnus of the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artists Program and was a winner of the 1994 Metropolitan Opera National Council Competition. His recording of Britten’s Billy Bud with the London Symphony has also earned him a Grammy Award. He was also recognized for his remarkable physique, being named to People magazine’s list of “The Sexiest Men Alive” in 2008 and earning him the nickname among his fans of “barihunk,” although he prefers the term “hunkitone.” Today, Mr. Gunn continues performing and teaching. He is always on the lookout for new works and new roles and continues to support and promote opera throughout the country. He will be making his Colorado debut at the Lone Tree Arts Center on March 10th following his performance as Danilo in the Metropolitan Opera’s The Merry Widow. “Bringing Nathan Gunn to the Arts Center has been a goal of ours since we opened,” says Executive Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson. “His international reputation and tremendous talent make him the perfect artist for our audiences, and I am looking forward to hearing his rich and captivating voice in the intimate setting of our 500 seat theater.”

Donor Profiles Developmental Pathways is a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency, supporting over 5,500 individuals with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays, such as autism and Down syndrome in Arapahoe and Douglas Counties and the city of Aurora. For 50 years Developmental Pathways has provided support ranging from case management and basic needs to 24/7 full time care. Of our 5,500 clients, there are approximately 2,200 waiting for additional/ alternative resources and funding. We also have an additional 3,200 clients who do not currently receive any services who are actively seeking assistance for resources and funding. In 1963, Colorado statute authorized Community Centered Boards (CCBs) to be responsible for community services for individuals with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays. Currently, there are 20 CCBs who serve over 11,000 individuals across the state. As a CCB, Developmental Pathways determines eligibility and provides programs for persons with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays in our service area. Developmental Pathways was originally established in 1964 as a community-based alternative to institutional care. Since that time, Developmental Pathways has developed a broad array of services based on our mission to enrich the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities and developmental delays by providing opportunities to lead a meaningful life.
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 area has been elevated to a world-class cultural center through the funding the SCFD provides to cultural organizations of all sizes and disciplines.

Night Cap?
Theater Trivia Where in the theater can you find a flat? a) The orchestra pit b) The balcony c) It’s part of the scenery
What is a “swing,” in theatrical terms?
d) It’s part of the backstage area
a) A component of the fly system
ANSWER: c) As the name implies, a flat is a piece of scenery with a flat face, which can be painted to look like an interior or exterior wall, a landscape, or anything else a set designer and scenic painter can imagine. The flat is comprised of a low profile frame of wood or metal, and is covered with muslin fabric or lauan wood, which are easily painted.
b) A performer
What does the term “upstage” mean? a) It is a second story on a set b) It references the part of the stage that is farther away from the audience c) When one performer draws attention away from another performer d) When one performer takes over a role from another performer ANSWER: b) and c) Centuries ago, stages were often “raked,” or slanted, so that the end of the stage farthest away from the audience was higher than the front section of the stage closest to the audience. This was done to provide better sightlines—one performer standing behind another was actually higher up, and therefore could still be seen. Even though most stages today are flat, “upstage” is still the direction farther away, and “downstage” is closer to the audience. A performer who is higher up on a raked stage generally draws more focus, 38
so over time, “upstaging” a performer has come to mean doing something to distract from another performer who should be capturing the audiences’ attention.
LONE TREE ARTS CENTER
c) A moving light d) A microphone hanging above the performers ANSWER: b) A swing is a kind of understudy, who often does not have a role in a production, and does not perform unless another performer is absent. The swing learns numerous roles (generally chorus parts, but sometimes principle roles as well), and is able to “swing” into the show in various positions on short notice. As if learning one role wasn’t difficult enough!
What part of a set is a “practical”? a) A door b) A light fixture c) A prop d) All of the above ANSWER: d) Many parts of a set are often false and non-functional, but depending on the needs of a show, sometimes things need to function much like they do in real life. If a window needs to open, a faucet needs running water, or a TV needs to turn on, it is considered “practical.” The term is often used (as a noun) to describe a lamp, sign, or other light fixture that is part of the scenery rather than the stage lighting.
