SO LONG, FRIEND AFTER 30 John Scott and Pat Sharp YEARS AT THE PAC, Pat Sharp retired at the end of May. Having served as our Head Carpenter beginning in 1984, Pat was promoted to Technical and Operations Administrator in 2010 and filled that position ably until he retired. In the latter capacity, Pat was charged with supervising the stage and technical needs of the PAC as well as the maintenance and engineering areas comprising eight positions. In addition, Pat was responsible for developing and implementing capital repair projects and purchases. Most important is Pat’s role in maintaining the PAC’s outstanding safety record on our stages. You may not know this, but the stage is a potentially dangerous place to work and perform. At any given time, there are thousands of pounds of set pieces, lights and other equipment hanging over the heads of anyone onstage. Thanks to Pat and our other in-house stagehands, the PAC’s safety record is virtually unblemished (knock on wood) — no small feat in the theatre world. I salute Pat for his many years of effective service and for his dedication to our facility. He has always been a vital member of the PAC team, and I’m also proud to call him a friend. Congratulations to PAC Ticket Office staff for receiving the Success Story of the Year award from our ticketing system vendor, Tickets.com. Well done, everyone! While you’re attending Wicked or any of the fine SummerStage events this month, stop by the PAC’s Gallery. Experience Tulsa: Art and Culture Are All Around Town is an exhibit showcasing a number of Tulsa’s finest cultural assets including the Tulsa Historical Society, The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art, the Route 66 Alliance and the Tulsa Botanic Garden. In addition, information about all the programs coming to the PAC in the 2014-15 season will be available. Be cool at the PAC this month. In spite of all the budget cuts, we promise to pay our air-conditioning bill! Thanks for all your support. I’ll see you in the lobby.

BOOK OF DAYS BOOK OF DAYS by Lanford Wilson (Hot L Baltimore) is set in a small Missouri town dominated by a cheese plant, a fundamentalist church, and a community theater. When the owner of the cheese plant dies mysteriously in a hunting accident, Ruth, his bookkeeper, suspects murder. Cast as Joan of Arc in a local production of George Bernard Shaw’s St. Joan, Ruth takes on the attributes of her fictional character and launches into a one-woman campaign to see justice done.
JANET RUTLAND Sings the Sixties is the Sand Springs songstress’ 10th cabaret show for SummerStage. In putting this show together, she collaborated with Top 40 guru Steve Clem (author of Tulsa’s KAKC Radio: The Big 97) on the decade’s songs as well as historical events. “This music is a real heart punch,” says Rutland. “You can remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you first heard these songs. It’s a trip.” Rutland will perform tunes by Dusty Springfield, The Mamas and The Papas, Bob Dylan and others. June 20-21 at 7:30 p.m. CHARLES E.

Gregory Maguire
What inspired you to write Wicked? I was living in London in the early 1990s during the start of the Gulf War. I was interested to see how my own blood temperature chilled at reading a headline in the usually cautious British newspaper, The Times of London: Saddam Hussein: The New Hitler? I caught myself ready to have a fully formed political opinion about the Gulf War and the necessity of action against Saddam Hussein on the basis of how that headline made me feel. The use of the word Hitler — what a word! What it evokes! When a few months later several young schoolboys kidnapped and killed a toddler, the British press paid much attention to the nature of the crime. I became interested in the nature of evil, and whether one really could be born bad. I considered briefly writing a novel about Hitler, but discarded the notion due to my general discomfort with the reality of those times. But when I realized that nobody had ever written about the second-mostevil character in our collective American subconscious, the Wicked Witch of the 12

West, I thought I had experienced a small moment of inspiration. Everybody in America knows who the Wicked Witch of the West is, but nobody really knows anything about her. There is more to her than meets the eye.
How do you feel about Winnie Holzman’s adaptation of your book? I have been so pleased with the work that Winnie Holzman has done for Wicked. She has taken a novel that is like a symphony in my heart, and she has turned it into an opera.
What are some of the similarities between the stage version of Wicked and your novel? Books are all about secrets. You don’t read a book if you can tell by the flap copy what’s going to happen at the end. And in a way the stage is like that too. The stage is all about what evolves in terms of plot and what evolves in terms of character, so I’m not going to give any secrets away. I will say that a great deal of what I think of as the dark, serious part of the book has been retained. It has been touched with another

dozen novels for children before writing his first adult novel, Wicked. A devotee of children’s fantasy, Maguire’s subsequent novels for adults are variations on a theme: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister considers Cinderella as a 17th-century maid from Haarlem; Lost evokes the ghost of Charles Dickens’ Scrooge; and Mirror Mirror features a High Renaissance Snow White daunted by the wickedest stepmother, Lucrezia Borgia. Maguire’s novel Son of a Witch, a sequel to Wicked, is followed by A Lion Among Men and the final volume of the Wicked Years, Out of Oz. Maguire lives in Massachusetts and Vermont with his husband, the painter Andy Newman, and their three children. kind of magic so that it passes unto the eyes in a different way.
What is your reaction to the comparisons many people make between Wicked and The Wizard of Oz? It’s not a retelling of The Wizard of Oz and it’s not really a prequel. It’s another story of another life. The description of Wicked as a dystopic view of The Wizard of Oz is not, I think, accurate. Closer to the truth is that Wicked focuses attention on some of the perplexing characteristics of the original story: the lack of opposition to the reclusive and manipulative wizard, the absence of interest in or concern for the Witch, the fact that Dorothy, longing for another world in which her troubles might “melt like lemon drops,” is instead exiled in a land of dangerous witches, powerful tyrants, and treacherous landscapes. Truthfully, the magnificent song “Over the Rainbow” might have hung like Marley’s ghost over the entire proceedings at the Gershwin Theater. The fact that its absence is neither an indictment nor a glaring omission is the most fitting testimony to the success
of Stephen Schwartz’s score. When Elphaba sings the bridge in “I’m Not That Girl,” she is offering the more seasoned rebuttal to Dorothy’s lovely fanciful desires. “I’m Not That Girl” isn’t cynical, but it is mature: “Ev’ry so often we long to steal/ To the land of whatmight-have-been/ But that doesn’t soften the ache we feel/ When reality sets back in.” This is the sadder-but-wiser girl’s sung response, across 63 or 64 years, to Dorothy’s plaintive request to go abroad and find the grass over there — well, to find it greener.
Can you explain the notion of the Time Dragon Clock featured so prominently in your book? The notion of the Time Dragon is twofold. It is patently artificial, like everything having to do with the Wizard’s reign (smoke and mirrors, deceptions and lies, weapons of mass destruction just 45 minutes away, tick-tock clockwork, Penn-and-Teller chicanery). On the other hand, perhaps even a machine has a soul; even a machine can be involved with fate. Elphaba, born in its bowels [in the novel], is in some ways exempt from its gaze and separated from everyone. Is her life dictated by the events of her birth, or is she alone in
Oz, exempt from being seduced by the glamour of the mechanics of power and spectacle? In this, as in so much, I don’t provide an answer; I merely use the mechanics of the metaphor to suggest the question.
How do you think Elphaba’s turning point in the musical, “Defying Gravity,” relates to the one you wrote for her in the book? The staging of “Defying Gravity” — and by that I mean the song, the way the moment has arisen out of the Winnie Holzman-Stephen Schwartz iteration of the novel’s original plot — makes Elphaba’s transformation much more visible. In the cover art of my novel (and indeed in the graphic art advertising the play), the witch’s hat is over her eyes, and in a sense this is how I drew the character: always a little bit out of view. To close Act One of Wicked, Elphaba’s transformation is, vocally, and theatrically, right in our faces. It is one of the most thrilling moments of the play, and rivals the most thrilling Act One finales I’ve ever seen, and I am a total fan — though it does take some getting used to. I think, “Elphaba, you’re a little less shy than you used to be when I first knew you!”
FUN FACTS ABOUT WICKED
(Note: all facts are for Broadway, unless otherwise indicated) • We use 250 pounds of dry ice per show on Broadway; we’ll probably use 200 pounds per show on the road. • The electrics department uses enough power to supply approximately 12 houses. Including the sound and automation departments, the total would increase to 18 houses. • We use 8-10 miles of cable in the electrics department on Broadway; we’ll probably use 4-5 miles of cable on the road. • 1,000 feet of steel cable were used to restring the flying monkey wings during year one of the Broadway run. • The carpentry department on Broadway has about 175,000 pounds of scenery and uses about five miles of cable to automate it. • The dragon’s eyes are red LED bulbs that never burn out. • The dragon’s wingspan is the same as a Cessna 172. • The “life casts” for the animal masks take 2-3 hours, and the person loses most of her senses (smell, sight, hearing, speech) during that time. • The show has 90 wigs, using 70 during any given show. All are made of human hair, and made individually for each actor, using their own hairline in the front. • During the first big “quick change,” 17 actors change from the mob to students in 1.5 minutes (including costumes, wigs and shoes). • There are 179 different types and finishes of leather used in shoes, gloves, hats and costume trim for Wicked.

linda the Good Witch would approve of Celebrity Attractions’ 2014-15 Broadway lineup: These musicals are very popular! Once, which won eight 2012 Tony Awards, is still charming audiences in its third year on the Great White Way. Camelot is legendary in more ways than one: it spawned several revivals, a movie, a top-selling album, and the name of a presidential era. Was Elvis popular? So is Million Dollar Quartet, about an epic recording session involving The King and fellow music icons Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. The Phantom of the Opera has been running nonstop on Broadway for 26 years. Enough said. Even “The Mean One,” Mr. Grinch, was invited back for a return engagement!
Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! November 4-9, 2014 This record-setting Broadway holiday sensation of 2006 and 2007 features the hit songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” from the original animated TV special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the holiday-loving Whos. Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations evoke the whimsical world of Whoville while the story is a reminder of the true meaning of the holiday season. Don’t miss what The New York Times says is “100 times better than any bedside story.” Holiday fun for the whole family!

Winner of eight 2012 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Once is a truly original Broadway experience. Featuring an impressive ensemble of actor/musicians who play their own instruments onstage, it tells the story of a Dublin street musician who’s about to give up on his dream when a sensitive young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs. Emotionally captivating and theatrically breathtaking, Once is an unforgettable musical about going for your dreams and the power of music to connect us all. Based on the 2007 film starring Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Once incorporates the music and lyrics the duo wrote and performed in the movie, including the Academy Award-winning song “Falling Slowly.”

Camelot March 3-8, 2015 Experience the “one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot” as lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe envisioned it in this Tony Awardwinning Broadway musical. Camelot recounts the legend of King Arthur, who rules his kingdom with new ideals, bringing peace to a troubled land. But when his beautiful Queen Guinevere and the dashing Sir Lancelot, Arthur’s most trusted knight, give in to their passion for each other, one of the most fabled love triangles of all time develops. Intimate and fresh, never has this story of passion, pageantry and betrayal been more captivating. The celebrated score includes the classics “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Simple Joys of Maidenhood,” and the title song.

Along with Lamentation, The Rite of Spring and another yet-to-be-announced piece, the Martha Graham company will perform a work by Nacho Duato, one of my very favorite modern dance cho-

reographers. Tulsa audiences have seen Duato’s riveting work danced by Tulsa Ballet. I was fortunate to have attended the Martha Graham 88th anniversary performance at Manhattan’s City Center last March when the troupe performed Andonis Foniadakis’ Echo, the story of Narcissus and Echo. It was truly breathtaking, and I look forward to seeing it again during a weekend of outstanding dance, September 20-21. “Many of the dance companies we have presented in the past have
a direct connection to Martha Graham, so it is exciting to finally be able to present Martha Graham in its first-ever Oklahoma performances in the company’s 88-year history,” says Tracy. Choregus audiences are familiar with the imaginative work of Roni Koresh, whom Tracy lists as one of his most-admired choreographers. “He is always creating new work that is both thoughtful and accessible and entertaining.” On the Koresh Dance Company’s October 28-29 program are Come Together, Classical Excerpts and Bolero, a compelling roster of dance featuring composers from Israel and Turkey, along with music by Chopin, Beethoven, Ravel and others, and the stunning athleticism of the Koresh troupe. In addition to dance, Choregus has been the champion of exhilarating music experiences. One program coming this season, at a yet-to-be-announced venue, is the nine-member male a cappella ensemble from Minneapolis, Cantus. Incorporating the acting of Theater Latté Da, Cantus will perform All is Calm: The Christmas Continued on p. 29 SPECIAL EDITION 2014 - IN TERM ISSION

Continued from p. 27 Truce of 1914, which highlights the group’s amazing voices and the eloquent words of soldiers. The program captures the moment when the German and Allied forces spontaneously put down their arms and sang hymns and carols on the battlefront. “This November program will be a great tribute to veterans and also a nice introduction to the holiday season,” says Tracy. Traveling from St. Petersburg, Russia, to perform in Tulsa January 24, the Rastrelli Cello Quartet is known for music that falls “between the genres.” Their repertoire mixes music from Bach, Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky with that of George Gershwin, Dave Brubeck and The Beatles. “When we presented this group several years ago, it was the first time outside of a rock concert that I had experienced a standing ovation after individual numbers, not just at the end of a great concert,” recalls Tracy. “Rastrelli plays music from all genres and unites all ages in the appreciation of their music.” You may remember when the amazing Kronos Quartet performed in Tulsa as part of Choregus’ first full season. One member of the group was cellist Jeffrey Zeigler, who is now established in a solo career. “He has some of the world’s leading composers begging him to let them
create work for him,” says Tracy. “This should be an exciting evening.” Zeigler comes to Tulsa February 20, following a European tour, and will perform at least one U.S. premiere. Tracy notes that one of the advantages to being a show presenter is being introduced to new companies. He first saw the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company at a showcase in New York. “I was struck by how Nai-Ni Chen extracted elements of Chinese culture and used her contemporary dance training to create something entirely new to both traditional Chinese dance and modern dance. Her work is very athletic and sensual at the same time.” The group will perform February 24 and 25. One of the many things I have appreciated about Choregus is the diversity of performers. Take, for instance, Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca, formed in Spain in 1993. Slated for the PAC’s Williams Theatre March 31 and April 1, the troupe is hailed for its transcendent and deeply emotional performances, and Barrio is recognized as one of the leading flamenco dancers in the world. “Noche Flamenca brings not only the authenticity of flamenco to the stage, but uses that dance form to tell Wendy Whelan: universal stories,” Restless Creature says Tracy. “One
doesn’t usually think of a Spanish flamenco company performing Sophocles’ Antigone, but that is exactly what Tulsa audiences will get to see.” Closing the year May 2 in Chapman Music Hall is Wendy Whelan: Restless Creature. The New York Times called Whelan “America’s greatest contemporary ballerina.” Tracy says, “To see her perform in a program of specially commissioned works of four outstanding contemporary choreographers is going to be astounding.” Not only will she dance the work created for her by rising contemporary dance-makers Kyle Abraham, Joshua Beamish, Brian Brooks and Alejandro Cerrudo, but she will also in turn perform with each choreographer. Tracy adds, “It’s going to be a great finish to the dance season.” Season tickets and individual performance tickets are available at 918-688-6112. After July 1, you can buy individual tickets at the PAC, 918-596-7111 and MyTicketOffice.com.

FRINGE BENEFITS by Nancy Bizjack
T
his year, SummerStage Tulsa is taking the first steps toward evolving into a Fringe Festival. It’s based on the Edinburgh (Scotland) Festival Fringe concept of independent theatre companies, dance troupes, comedians and more staging performances “’round the fringe” of another festival. “The PAC is still the home base of the SummerStage festival,” says Shirley Elliott, program director for the Tulsa PAC Trust, which has coordinated SummerStage for more than 20 years. “This year, however, we’re ‘fringing out’ to several Brady Arts venues, including the Woody Guthrie Center, Living Arts of Tulsa, the Guthrie Green and Fly Loft.” Fringe events are usually fresh and original and concentrate on clever concepts and audience experience rather than traditional scripts. They’re uncensored, meaning no one gets too fussy about language or nudity, but squeaky-clean content isn’t discouraged either. Ticket prices are kept low. Shows are short, with minimal sets and technical requirements. In other words, Fringe is fresh, fast and fun!
Here’s what’s happening “on the fringe” this year:
Still Slouching: From Brooklyn to Bushyhead
June 27-28 at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. WOODY GUTHRIE CENTER Tickets: $15 This is the highly anticipated sequel to last year’s Slouching Towards Barnsdall, starring Brooklyn-born Tulsa resident and “nonfiction entertainer” Barry Friedman and former Tulsa newspaperman John Wooley, who lives in Bushyhead. Directed by Vern Stefanic, Still Slouching, like Slouching, is a presentation of essays and excerpts from
Friedman’s and Wooley’s books, magazine articles and public radio commentaries. What’s different this year? “New material, more music, and perhaps a little more political content,” Friedman says. “After all, it’s in the Woody Guthrie Center — we owe him that.”

Set in a tiny sewing factory in east L.A., it’s the story of five fullfigured Mexican-American women who are racing to meet nearly impossible production deadlines in order to keep their tiny factory from going under. While they work, hiding from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, they talk about their husbands, lovers, children and dreams. This play, a microcosm of the Latina immigrant experience, celebrates real women’s bodies, the power of women and the incredible bond that happens when women work together.

Listen as Tulsa Symphony musicians Jeff Cowen (viola) and Jill Wiebe (harp) put a new spin on the music of The Beatles, Billy Joel, Journey and more. From “American Pie” and “Eleanor Rigby” to the poignant melodies of Chopin, Appassionata creates a unique performance where classical elegance merges with modern hits.
