the TPAC, we also continued to be shut down for the first seven months of 2021. However, we are slowly coming back and giving people the world-class entertainment that Tulsa deserves. In the last six months of the calendar year, we’ve been able to rehire staff, create new jobs, relaunch our community program, Orbit Arts, and welcome thousands of patrons back inside our theatres. I want to thank all of you for your support through these difficult times and also acknowledge your willingness to wear masks, show proof of vaccination for some events, and follow safety protocols. These have all been important steps in bringing performing arts back to life in Tulsa as safely as possible.

I realize that 2022 will present its own set of challenges for the TPAC and the arts organizations that utilize the TPAC, but we are all united in the belief that the performing arts have the power to unite and inspire our community. I hope this holiday season brings you and your families opportunities to come together and reconnect and find hope moving

THE WORLD PREMIER That Almost Wasn’t The Tulsa Ballet has been sharing the magic of “The Nutcracker” with Tulsa audiences since 2003. For almost 20 years, Marcello Angelini’s vision of the show has come to life before our eyes each December.

Last year was intended to be the closing of that spectacular show after almost two decades of Angelini’s choreography. Of course, that closing was never to be once the pandemic hit, but that isn’t stopping Angelini and his team from presenting their brand-new vision. The Tulsa Ballet’s original resident choreographer, Val Caniparoli, and current resident choreographer, Ma Cong, have choreographed a new version of the classic tale.

“The Nutcracker” seems to have a special place in the hearts of American ballet lovers that it cannot necessarily boast in the rest of the world. According to Caniparoli, who has choreographed five completely different versions of the show, the rest of the world doesn’t have the same trend of each company having their own version that is performed every year. In other places around the world, it isn’t necessarily performed each year or even during the holidays.

It was first performed and popularized in the U.S. by Willam Christensen and the San Francisco Ballet in 1944. That same original version is still performed to this day in Salt Lake City, performed by Christensen’s Ballet West.

Angelini’s version was set in 1920s Paris, but this new version will take the production back to the original setting of the story, 19th century Germany.

The switch to the Victorian Era meant the set and costumes would have to be entirely recreated, so world-renown set and costume designer Tracy Grant Lord was brought in to complete the daunting task.

Incredibly, using Lord, who is based in New Zealand, almost brought the show to an end before it ever took the stage. Because of the difficulty in in our country’s current supply chain, the shipping containers carrying the set and costumes from down under arrived many

months later than originally planned, and, for a time, the Tulsa Ballet thought they might have to scrap the new version and go back to the old.

That would have been particularly disappointing for Cong, who is leaving Tulsa after the close of “The Nutcracker.”

He notes, “It has been long waiting, this project. … This will mark my farewell.”

Luckily, everything came in, and Cong will get to have his project debut before leaving for his next adventure.

Though shipping everything from so far brought on “a lot of headaches for everyone,” according to Cong, he suggests it will absolutely be worth it: “We are confident that when we get to present it on stage, people will be wowed!

It will be topnotch, excellent.”

If you’d like to see the newest rendition of this great Tulsan — and American — tradition, join us in the Chapman!

A Christmas Tradition There’s only one show currently in the TPAC that is older than the building itself. Can you guess? Tulsa has been enjoying American Theatre Company’s “A Christmas Carol” since 1976. The TPAC opened a year later in 1977.

Most know the original story, written

by Charles Dickens, of Scrooge and his humbuggery. The three spirits of Christmases past, present and yet to come help him find the reason for the season and transform himself into a kinder, happier man. In 1976, Robert Odle and Rick Averill adapted the classic story into a stage musical. In the first year of its existence, the show was presented at the Philbrook Museum. At the time, the performance space was a converted garage.

The show was a hit! It brought in healthy audiences and was well liked.

The ensemble from “A Christmas Carol” past.

Dec e mb e r 2021 I N T E R MISSION

The next year, the TPAC officially opened its doors, but the brand-new John H. Williams Theatre was already taken, so the show was presented in the Liddy Doenges Theatre, then known as Studio One Theatre. That year, a local newspaper reviewer suggested the show should become a Tulsa tradition.

The following year, the show moved to the John H. Williams Theatre, where it has taken place every year since — except for last year — becoming the tradition it was predicted to be. Since then, it has done a stint in the Tulsa Theater, and during the pandemic, it was presented in movie format at the Admiral Twin Drive-In. This year, the production will make its triumphant return to its long-time home in the TPAC. The beautiful set has gotten a facelift, the fabulous

period costumes pulled from wherever they’ve been stored for far too long, and many new faces have joined the longstanding tradition. But this year will feel markedly different for all involved.

ATC’s “A Christmas Carol” has lost two crucial family members.

Rick Averill, half of the team responsible for bringing this magical show to life, has been lost since the last time the show took the stage. His incredible talents gave the show its music. Robert Odle, Averill’s creative partner, adapted the story to the stage and wrote many of the lyrics that accompany Averill’s music. The show holds a special pace in Odle’s heart, largely for that reason: “Rick was a musical genius, whom I collaborated with on several musicals.

I have always loved the story of

‘A Christmas Carol.’ … It is a warm, uplifting, and amusing story as Dickens wrote it, and I think the script embodies that spirit. It is also dear to my heart because it is a musical, not a play with music. Many theaters around the country do versions of the story and include music, but our version is written as a true musical.”

Additionally, long-time director Ed Durnal has also passed since the last presentation of the show. Durnal had directed the production for over 15 years, finding ways to keep the tradition fresh and rejuvenated each year.

This year, the show takes the stage without the direction of Durnal, but the new director, Laurie Carlson, learned from Durnal himself and is definitely up for the job: “I worked with Ed Durnal for 10 years on this show, the last several as production stage manager, which means we were pretty much joined at the hip from October through December.

We had many conversations about the evolution of the show since his return to Tulsa and the elements that make it so consistently beautiful and how we can continue to keep it fresh. Because of those conversations, I feel that everything I do now is still inspired

by Ed and his unwavering love for this production. It’s definitely a bittersweet experience this year, and I do spend a little time each night alone before I dive in with the cast to get my emotions in check.”

Though the production is missing long-time pieces of the magic, along with Carlson, another familiar face is returning. Karl Krause has been a part of the cast since 1977, missing just the opening year: “I was introduced to a very young theatre group called American Theatre Company in 1977 by a high school acquaintance Danny Roberts, who was the brother of Kitty Roberts, the producing director. I showed up at auditions at the beautiful Mayo Hotel in the Crystal Ballroom. I read for and landed the role of Scrooge’s old business partner Jacob Marley. It was the first of many parts I’d play with ATC, and in 1979 I became an official member of ATC’s professional staff. We were building sets by day, doing shows by night.”

Karl Krause as Jacob Marley

Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit

Working on the first presentation in 1776.

After a few years of playing Marley, Krause took on the role of Scrooge — quite a character jump for a young man in his mid-twenties: “And here I still am.

I don’t have to work nearly as hard on the age makeup and mannerisms now ... .”

All three of those quoted above mentioned that the cast and crew of the show have become like family.

According to Krause: “We are one big extended family with hundreds of members. If there is one thing that keeps me and several others coming back year after year, it is the deep sense of love and family that this production brings to life for so many.”

He continues: “This last year was a devastating year for many individuals and businesses, and live entertainment companies and venues have suffered greatly due to the many shutdowns, closings and isolation of the recent pandemic. We lost Rick Averill this year, along with Ed Durnal, who had directed the show for many years.

“These two dear friends and very important members of the ATC family

will be truly missed and lovingly remembered and honored this year, next year and every time we do this show.”

What better way to have a life celebrated and remembered than through one of Tulsa’s favorite holiday traditions? The art and passion brought to Tulsa by these two artists will surely be remembered and celebrated for quite some time.

Come see this tradition for yourself!

It will be shown throughout much of the month of December in the TPAC’s John H. Williams Theatre, and it will also do a short stint at the Admiral Twin Drive-in for those who wish for a more distanced viewing.

THE CONCERT TRUCK Tulsa, the TPAC has a present for you!

This holiday season, we are incredibly proud to bring you The Concert Truck!

This mobile music venue consists of a converted 16-foot box truck, which comes complete with its own fully functional stage, lights, sound systems, a piano and two wondrously talented artists. It has toured across the country, performing concerts in city streets, music and arts festivals, schools, neighborhoods, parks and anywhere else one could think to park a truck.

Nick and Susan — the wondrously talented artists we promised — have incredible backgrounds, touring all over the world and possessing aweinspiring lists of accomplishments. Nick Luby prides himself on being an artist who breaks boundaries and challenges the status quo. He has won prizes in numerous competitions, most recently the 2019 Prix Ravel. He has concertized throughout the U.S., France, Italy, and the Czech Republic, and his recordings have been broadcast on public radio.

Acclaimed as a pianist with “astounding musical authority” by the 14

Dec e mb e r 2021 I N T E RMIS SION

Columbia Free Times, Susan Zhang made her orchestral debut at the age of 12 with the Augusta Symphony. She has since been featured as a soloist with the South Carolina Philharmonic, the Aiken Civic Orchestra, the University of South Carolina Symphony, and the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. She has performed in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre and Woodruff Arts Center as well as numerous other venues in North America, Europe, and Asia, and her recordings have been featured on SC Public Radio.

The two and their truck feature original programming and have been featured by Voice of America – VOA, Minnesota Public Radio, the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, WYPR Maryland as well as many local TV news stations and online publications and syndicates.

Why all the buzz and why are we so excited to bring them to you? We love putting art on our stages, but it is hard to be fully involved and engaged in the community from inside our own four walls. That is why we are taking the show

to as many areas in our community as possible. We want to share and create art in parts of our city that don’t always get to experience art and to as many diverse populations as we can.

The Concert Truck is a perfect opportunity to do just that. The project was founded out of Nick’s and Susan’s love for music and their belief in its emotional power. Intended as a mobile music venue that strengthens communities by redefining the concert experience and making live music accessible to all, it engages diverse communities and audiences nationwide with thoughtful, timely programming.

Want to see the concert truck in person? Stay tuned on our social channels and website for specific concert dates and locations. Want to help us create more incredible art in our community for more people than ever before? Visit the donation page on our website.
