I’m a girl dad. Proud of it. Before a man becomes a father to a daughter, his relationship with women exists in the form of being a son to a mother, a brother to a sister, a nephew to an aunt, an uncle to a niece, a friend, a spouse, or more. Those titles are extremely meaningful, but they probably do not require that person to feel solely responsible for a girl’s protection or emotional development.
Becoming a girl dad, let me tell you ... that hits differently. When a man has a daughter, it unlocks something deep inside. It’s an experience that completely reshapes our perspectives, changing the way many fathers relate to women from then on.
I think that is a huge reason why I connect to the role of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. The love he has for his five daughters is what drives the story forward — grappling with his heart, deciding between the traditions of his faith and his people versus what is best for his girls. It’s a nightly emotional journey for me that is very challenging and draining — but so rewarding.
I’ve been honored to play the role several times and it’s interesting to me how my character develops in relation to the age of my daughter, who is now 19. The story hits me differently than the last time I played the role, when my daughter was 10.
Since its opening, Fiddler on the Roof has been performed somewhere in the world every day. Every single day. Why would that be? Why would this story be important to people in China or Australia or even Tulsa? I think that is because it’s a timeless story of love, a story that shines a light on issues that are still very much prevalent in today’s world, just as they were when this show first opened on Broadway. As long as there is hate and persecution in the world, this show matters. As long as there are girl dads who want every opportunity for their daughters, the power found in the story of Tevye and his five daughters — written so long ago by Sholem Aleichem — remains a story worth telling.

MEDICINE
IN THE MEDIA
oing from neurosurgeon to storyteller sounds like an unlikely path, but it is the path on which Dr. Sanjay Gupta has found himself. After his grandfather suffered from a stroke, Dr. Gupta decided to go into the medical field to try and keep others from meeting the same fate. He became fascinated with the human brain, eventually becoming a neurosurgeon.
As Dr. Gupta progressed throughout his career, medical issues began taking the spotlight in national news more and more. Discussions around how our healthcare system should work made him feel that everyone should be included in that discussion, which is why he began writing and how his foray into journalism began.
Soon, September 11, 2001, took place and the world changed. Dr. Gupta found himself covering the anthrax scare and overseas reporting on the Iraq war. Those experiences have led him to today, helping to lead us through the gamut of health-related news.
For Dr. Gupta, one extremely important aspect of his journalism is to highlight the first responders, the men and women often tasked with putting their lives at risk to save the lives of strangers. He says: “I think we are dealing with some very tough things in the world, and yet, there are people who rise up and do incredible things. Sometimes out of those really challenging, dark situations,
you get these bursts of light in the form of these amazing people, and I want to tell some of those stories.”
These incredible stories are just part of what Tulsa audiences can look forward to hearing at Dr. Gupta’s upcoming talk on our Chapman stage on September 13. Along with the amazing stories he has encountered, he will also share his thoughts on the importance of medicine in the media and how we might be able to lead healthier, fuller lives because of it.
Join us as we welcome Dr. Gupta to Tulsa!

Designing the Spectacular World of Moulin Rouge! The Musical
By David Cote
Entering Moulin Rouge! The Musical, you encounter a world like no other: sensual, mysterious, decadent. A hypnotic dance loop plays as aristocratic men in top hats circle seductive women in lace and bustiers. You take your seat and gaze at rich, red fabric on the walls, the neon sign, details in lamps on each table. The music feels like it’s coming from 360 degrees. Lights rake over bodies promenading back and forth. It’s hard not to notice the elephant perched beyond the proscenium, and the red windmill on the other side. An exquisite tension hangs in the air, before the show has even begun. Welcome to the club.
You’ve never seen a Broadway show as wildly immersive as the Tony-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical. The revolutionary design started on Broadway and goes around the country.
“I began by amassing huge amounts of research,” scenic designer Derek McLane explains. “There were many period photos of Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge, of Parisian courtesans’ apartments.” The walls of the theater, McLane adds, are draped in no fewer than nine different types of red fabric, each its own hue and pattern. The heart-shaped portals you see upon entering are loosely inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s film. “I worked hard to create a structure both

densely patterned and lacy so that you see through one set of patterns into another,” McLane says.
Costume designer Catherine Zuber poured the cast into a series of bespoke costumes, mixing Parisian silhouettes and edgy, contemporary couture. “Since the music is contemporary, the challenge is to introduce a modern interpretation,” Zuber notes. “The choreography is high-energy, requiring costumes that are not restrictive.” She notes that director Alex Timbers “kept us on track by insisting that the design should occur now and in the past simultaneously.”
“I had a vision that we’re inside a spinning crystal chandelier,” says lighting designer Justin Townsend. Shifting rapidly from spotlighting actors to bathing them in romantic reds, purples and blues, Townsend tucks tiny lights around the set to allow the stage and house to sparkle. Every reliable surface holds a lightbulb that can pulse and animate. “My hope is to create the same quality of the movie,” the designer says, “being on a ride with the camera pulled and pushed into and out of the scenes with wonder and joy.”

Peter Hylenski fuses dialogue and a score woven from dozens of song fragments into a seamless sonic whole. “From the very first bass notes and finger snaps, we should understand the flavor and attitude of the evening ahead,” the sound designer says. “Ultimately, it’s my responsibility to shape and sculpt the inputs from the cast, band, and sound effects to weave a sonic tapestry.” Hylenski shares his secret weapon: concealed in and around the set are some 200 varioussized speakers. Even in the table lampshades of the front seating area.
As Townsend sums up: “We combine images and sounds that shouldn’t work together but have a deeper truth, a deeper beauty, when placed next to one another.” The theater community certainly agrees. Last year, Moulin Rouge! The Musical came away with a staggering ten Tony Awards, including top prizes for scenic design, lighting, costumes, sound, and orchestrations.
David Cote is the author of the upcoming Moulin Rouge! The Musical: The Story of the Broadway Spectacular (Rizzoli). David is a New York-based theater and TV critic who writes for The A.V. Club, Observer, and 4 Columns. He’s also a playwright and opera librettist, and author of books about the making of Spring Awakening, Jersey Boys, and Wicked.

Fiddler on the Roof is both a timeless classic and a timely story that applies directly to the world in which we currently live. The story revolves around Tevye, a Jewish peasant living in prerevolutionary Russia, as he works to give his daughters the best lives possible while adhering to his faith and battling growing antisemitism.
Fiddler on the Roof is also just the second musical to be fully produced and presented by the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Directed and choreographed by our very own Vice President of Development Sara Phoenix, it promises to be an absolutely beautiful version of this highly emotional tale.
As a venue, we get to see hundreds of amazing shows take place on our stages, but, as a staff, we
rarely get the chance to use our creative muscles while helping others put on their shows.
According to Phoenix, producing shows gives the incredible team at the TPAC the opportunity to do what they do best: use their creativity.
“The TPAC team has so many people who are talented at not just administration and helping others load in shows but also at music direction, set building, lighting design and so many other things. This gives our team the chance to flex those muscles,” says Phoenix.
And flex those muscles we have. The overall design is unlike anything that has been done before with this classic show. Pulling from traditional Ukrainian crochet patterns, everything — from the set to the costumes — is vibrant and textured and gorgeous.
The show also gives us the opportunity to showcase some of the best singing and acting talent our city has to offer while also paying that talent, which can be very difficult to do in a city the size of Tulsa.
With an eye to the future, we hope to be able to continue this new tradition of putting on professionallevel shows. After the success of our first production, Daddy Long Legs, and how beautiful this show is shaping up to be, we can’t wait to continue telling stories like this one. We see it as an investment in the Tulsa community, which has proven time and again to be supporters of the arts and Tulsa talent.
