Welcome CURTAIN GOING UP! The celebrated 3,000 pound stage curtain, Silver Code, is opening on a new arts season at Stephens Auditorium. After a year of cleaning, repairing, and re-rigging the auditorium’s iconic main theatre curtain, a unique work of art designed by artist and sculpture Ryokichi Mukai, you’ll be captivated by its original shine and glory – just like opening night 46 years ago.

But it is not just nostalgia that has made the curtain conservation such a marvelous spectacle, the hall itself dazzles the eye with eclectic architecture and charms the ear with excellent acoustics.

Just as the curtain is a cause to celebrate, so is the exciting, jam-packed season of entertainment we have in store that will allow you the opportunity to indulge in your favorite arts genre.

Families, serious-minded theater-goers, and the adventurous all have something to look forward to this season. Whether you love Broadway or are mesmerized by music, there are numerous world-class superstars, acclaimed performers, and well-established talent who will move and inspire you.

For music fans, there will be lots to enjoy at Stephens. The Grammy Award winners, The Chieftains will get our toes tapping to traditional Irish music just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, and the Music of Memphis comes to town in Million Dollar Quartet on April 12.

You are invited back to experience Mummenschanz on Saturday, March 28. These invisible masters of movement and imagination are perfect for the whole family and will surely delight both adults and children alike. Originally founded in France more than four decades ago, the artistry of this Swiss theatre company transcends cultural barriers with its unique non-verbal theatrical style.

You’ll find this season has plenty of opportunities to indulge in your favorite genre or experience something new. The Iowa State Center staff works hard to create these experiences for you. Each interaction—subscription, ticket purchase and contribution to the Performing Arts Fund— helps make it possible for us to continue to bring more joy, more diversity, and more inspiration through the world’s greatest performances to the heart of Iowa.

Enjoy the show!

Theater Etiquette In today’s world, everyone seems to have less time and more stress, making the chance to sit back, relax and enjoy an event that much more meaningful. A visit to the theater can provide a wonderful escape, so here are some tips that will ensure you — and the guests around you — will have an even more enjoyable trip to Stephens Auditorium.

“Fashionably Late” is never in style Please arrive early enough to find your seat before the curtain rises. After the performance has begun, latecomers will be asked to wait until a suitable moment before being seated. The same reminder applies at intermission.

Hearing a Pin Drop If you should need a cough drop or candy to help soothe a scratchy throat, please try to open the wrapper quickly and at an appropriate time (a scene change, applause, etc.). A good tip: unwrap a few lozenges before entering the auditorium.

Sit Back, Relax, and... “Hello?”

Please be considerate of your neighbors, just as you would expect the same consideration from them, and turn off all cell phones, pagers and watches with alarms. With the outstanding acoustics in the auditorium, these sounds will distract and annoy everyone. If needed, you can arrange to be notified in the event of an emergency call. See “Cell Phones and Pagers” on page 2 for details.

A Star is Born Performing arts enrich our community’s cultural life and bring a variety of entertainers to our backyard. These talented artists may be performing in your favorite musical or playing a well-known concerto, but you may be sitting near people who aren’t familiar with the piece.

Please resist humming, singing along, or finishing a line for the actors.

Talk of the Town We’re delighted if the performance becomes the “talk of the town,” but please wait until intermission or the final curtain to carry on conversations.

You might also consider reserving any negative feedback until you are in private. People have differing opinions about creative events, and after all, you could be sitting next to the conductor’s mother or a company member’s spouse.

An Evening with the Family Children are always welcome at Stephens Auditorium events. However, some performances require an adult attention span and a quiet auditorium.

Please be considerate of both your young ones and the rest of the audience by excusing yourself with your child if he or she becomes disruptive during the performance.

Standing

Good Neighbors Should you find yourself near someone who chooses to violate the rules of common courtesy, please remember that a quiet reminder or a polite “shh” can be very effective. If needed, ask an usher to help resolve the issue.

Great Escape A quick departure is noticed by everyone in the audience and especially by the performers on stage. Making a mad dash for the exit expresses inconsideration to everyone in the auditorium. Please stay until the house lights go up. Should you need to make an exit before the final curtain call, please be discreet and considerate to others in your row.

Keeping Up Appearances Help us preserve the ambience of Stephens Auditorium by depositing all trash in the appropriate receptacles located in the lobby areas.

OVATION 2014-2015 SEASON

Services for Guests Every effort is made to ensure every guest has an enjoyable experience at Stephens Auditorium. Should you have additional questions or require special accommodations, please make arrangements with the Ticket Office when purchasing tickets.

The Art of Programming Do you wonder how the eclectic mix of performances on the Performing Arts Series comes together? And how do we choose the dates? Contrary to the notion that the Performing Arts Series is selected randomly, much like picking shows from a hat, programming involves a lot of planning to bring the best possible collection of performances to our stage.

From beginning to end, we do extensive research in choosing the performances.

Our goal is to offer high-quality performances from varied genres and disciplines as diverse as our audience.

Preparation for the next season begins one to two years before we announce the series each May. Discussions for the 2015-2016 series have already begun.

The extensive planning process includes all of these considerations: 1. Priority List of Artists

After scheduling the series each year, there may be performances which were considered but didn’t fit into the schedule and we keep those events on a priority list for the future. Some artists are so well received, that we want them back when the timing is right for a return performance.

2. Geographic/Routing Criteria A big question in the planning process is what performances will be touring in the Midwest and when. Artists’ agents advise which shows are available and the potential artist fees. Many events are available to play at Stephens Auditorium in mid-fall and spring, as they start their tours on either coast and route into the Midwest in October, February and March. Fewer events are available in September, December, January, and April.

6

Standing

3. Collecting Information

Next, we collect background material on the performances from various sources, including:

Agents: Most agents know the sales history of the artists and want to sell only the events that make sense for a particular venue. We discuss whether an event will fit our community and its needs.

ISU’s Performing Arts Council: This panel of Iowa State University faculty, staff, students and community members offers valuable insights and feedback on performances.

Iowa State Center staff: Staff members may attend regional and national meetings on the arts, providing an opportunity to preview artists and shows.

Guest comments: Guests often have excellent intuition about artists and shows that would be successful on the series. We welcome your comments.

Other sources: We monitor the artists scheduled by other presenters to see what works in markets similar to ours.

Magazines like Billboard and Variety cover hot new jazz artists, classical music favorites, popular performers and off-Broadway shows.

OVATION 2014-2015 SEASON

4. Talking to Artists’ Representatives Negotiations begin via phone, e-mail and at performing arts conferences.We determine how many performances our market can support and begin to shape a preliminary series. We must also consider: • balancing the types of shows and arranging dates with the university and community calendars • checking potential conflicts with other area arts presenters • generating budgets for each potential event to ensure there is a balance between financial responsibility and artistic merit, since ticket sales cover only 68% of presenting costs

The Culture Buzz

Now the actual booking begins and the schedule is adjusted several times until we have the right mix of performances. Talent fees, ticket prices, performance dates and hundreds of other details are ironed out.

When all parties agree, we finalize the event and sign the contracts. However, nothing is set in stone. Scheduling conflicts, changes in tour funding, and other circumstances can change even ‘finalized’ performances.

At last, the Performing Arts Series is announced to the public! (Of course, we’re already planning great shows for next season.)

OVATION 2014-2015 SEASON

STOMP STOMP, a unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy, was created in Brighton, UK, in the summer of 1991. It was the result of a ten-year collaboration between its creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.

They first worked together in 1981, as members of the street band Pookiesnackenburger and the theatre group Cliff Hanger. Together, these groups presented a series of street comedy musicals at the Edinburgh Festival throughout the early ʻ80s. After two albums, a UK TV series and extensive touring throughout Europe, Pookiesnackenburger also produced the highly acclaimed “Bins” commercial for Heineken lager.

The piece was originally written and choreographed by Luke as part of the bandʼs stage show; it proved to be the starting point for STOMPʼs climactic dustbin dance.

In 1986, Luke and Steve created an eight-minute ʻpercussive movieʼ for Bette Midlerʼs HBO special Mondo Beyondo. Between 1987 and 1990, Luke staged, as Artistic and Musical Director, four large-scale outdoor events, including “Beat the Clyde”, which involved floating a drum orchestra on a pontoon in the centre of Glasgow; the largest of these events, “The Heineken Hove Lagoon Show”, involved a 120-piece drum orchestra featuring the Brighton Festival Chorus and a full orchestral string section.

In 1991, Steve and Luke first created STOMP, previewing at Londonʼs Bloomsbury Theatre and premiering at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, where it became The Guardianʼs “Criticsʼ Choice” and won The Daily Express “Best of the Fringe Award”.

Between 1991 and 1994, the original cast of STOMP played to capacity audiences around the world: from Hong Kong to Barcelona, from Dublin to Sydney. The touring culminated in a sell-out season at Londonʼs Sadlerʼs Wells Theatre in January 1994, where STOMP received an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment and won Best Choreography in a West End Show.

An expanded version of STOMP, involving up to 30 cast members, was originally created for the Brighton Festival, UK, and was subsequently presented in Melbourne, Australia. This production broke all box office records, which had been established by Frank Sinatra in 1972.

STOMP began its run at the Orpheum Theatre in New York in February 1994 and quickly went on to win both an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for Most Unique Theatre Experience. By the summer of 1994, the first American cast was in place at the Orpheum, freeing the original cast for sell-out tours of North America and Japan.

In the summer of 1995, two more American productions were created for the sole purpose of US touring, which continues to this day. US casts have also debuted STOMP in Chile, Brazil and Korea. Meanwhile, a fifth STOMP company, also touring from the UK, was formed in 1997 and has consistently toured the world ever since. This company presented STOMP

Program Notes for the first time in Scandinavia and South Africa, and has been a regular visitor to Germany, Holland and France. Another STOMP production opened in San Francisco in May 2000, running for two and a half years.

The original cast of STOMP have recorded music for the Tank Girl movie soundtrack and appeared on the Quincy Jones album, Qʼs Jook Joint.

A soundtrack recorded by Steve and Luke for the Showtime movie Riot was released in the spring of 1997.

STOMP has also featured in a number of commercials, including CocaColaʼs “Ice Pick” and numerous spots for both Target stores in the US and Toyota in Japan.

STOMP also created the Mr Frearsʼ Ears series of short films created for Nickelodeon, whilst “Brooms”, a 15-minute short based around the opening routine, was nominated for an Academy Award. “Brooms” was also selected for screening at Robert Redfordʼs Sundance Festival and for competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

STOMP made a special appearance at the Academy Awards in March 1996, with an original piece involving the live synchronization of classic film clips and onstage action, featuring 20 performers from all five productions.

In the summer of 1997, Steve and Luke created and directed STOMP OUT LOUD, a 45-minute television special for HBO, which combined stage material with new pieces created for TV. It was premiered in the USA in December 1997 and subsequently received four Emmy nominations, for direction, sound mixing, multi-camera editing and art direction. 1998 saw the release of the STOMP OUT LOUD video and DVD around the world.

Another unique blend of live action and film footage was created for the Emmy Awards, in which STOMP effectively performed with Spike Jones!

STOMP performed after midnight on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at US President Clintonʼs millennium celebrations. During 2000, a Sesame Street special, “Letʼs Make Music”, a collaboration between STOMP and the Muppets, was released on TV and video in North America.

Luke and Steve began production of their IMAX movie Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey in Brazil during Carnival 2000 and completed it in the summer of 2002. Pulse takes the IMAX audience on a spectacular global journey, featuring performances from Kodo, Timbalada and Eva Yerbabuena. It was released to critical acclaim in New York in the autumn of 2002, and went on to win two major awards at the International Festival of La Géode in Paris.

In September 2002, STOMP finally entered Londonʼs West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, and later that year STOMP performed as part of The Royal Variety Show for the second time.

2003 saw a new STOMP production open at the Stuart Street Theatre in Boston and a unique Dolby Digital trailer featuring STOMP performances debuted in cinemas across the globe.

In 2004, New York celebrated 10 years of continuous performances of STOMP at the Orpheum Theatre by renaming 2nd Avenue at 8th Street Stomp Avenue.

OVATION 2014-2015 SEASON

Program Notes In addition to the European tour, in 2005 STOMP returned to Tokyo for three weeks and also toured to Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

In 2006, STOMPʼs New York production passed its 5,000th performance mark. In the same year, Luke and Steve directed a public service announcement for television called “Stomp Out Litter”, which featured the cast ʻsweeping upʼ at iconic locations in the five boroughs.

In addition, they were commissioned to create and produce The Lost and Found Orchestra, which takes the ideas behind STOMP to a symphonic level, in celebration of 40 years of the Brighton Festival. The LFO subsequently performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Sydney Festival early in 2007, was seen at the Royal Festival Hall in London at Christmas 2008 and the Theater Carré in February 2009.

In 2007, STOMP OUT LOUD opened in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino with an expanded cast and performed inside a new $28 million theatre, specifically created for the production. The West End entered its sixth consecutive year with a move from the Vaudeville to the Ambassadors Theatre, where it still resides.

In 2008, STOMP returned to its roots for a new DVD shoot at the Brighton Dome, bringing together a cast from all over the STOMP world. For the first time, the entire show has been captured in high definition sound and video.

2008 also saw Steve and Luke expand into new areas with the release of their IMAX 3D nature documentary Wild Ocean, with a symphonic mix of percussion and traditional orchestra in the soundtrack. In September of the same year, Wild Ocean won two awards at the Giant Screen Cinema Association for Best Sound and Best Original Score at their annual conference held in New York.

The Lost and Found Orchestra reunited in 2010 for a new show, PANDEMONIUM, which appeared in several US cities throughout the autumn.

In 2011 the New York production of STOMP entered its eighteenth year, trouncing the Orpheum house record set by Little Shop of Horrors. It also entered its tenth year in the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre, whilst at the same time Steve and Luke continued with their 3D film work.

2012 also saw the release of The Last Reef 3D, a film about the beauty and the plight of reefs worldwide. As with Wild Ocean, Luke and Steve composed the filmʼs orchestral soundtrack, recording it at The Old Market Theatre in their hometown of Brighton & Hove in the UK. In August 2012, the largest ever assembly of STOMP performers (40 performers from 12 different countries) were brought together for a specifically choreographed appearance in the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
