executive director’s welcome WELCOME TO THE CAPITOL CENTER FOR THE ARTS AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US

which is packed with rich and diverse programming! You may have chosen a rock concert, an evening of comedy, a Broadway musical, or a broadcast. But whatever brought you to the theater today, we want you to have a wonderful experience. With the support of individual donors, the Capitol Center has recently invested in new systems and equipment focused on improving our customers’ experience. Our web site has been redesigned to be more mobile device friendly (including a “select your own seats” feature with tickets delivered right to your phone!) In addition, you’ll find that our lobby bar lines will move more quickly, thanks to the addition of our new “Bottoms Up” beer tap system.

FOR OUR 21ST SEASON,

I hope you will have the chance to attend several performances in the coming months. Whether you are looking for “Your Corner Of the Sky” at PIPPIN or looking for “A Horse with No Name” with the rock group America, I know you will enjoy the array of performances in our historic Chubb Theatre. I hope you will also consider expanding your horizons with singer songwriters in the intimate Spotlight Café or engaging in a presentation and dialogue with acclaimed painter Valerie Hird and award winning poet Cynthia Huntington in our Kimball House Salon Series. Our salons are a unique opportunity to gain a new perspective on artists and their art as well as relevant issues of the day.

We want to stay connected with you, so I hope you will take advantage of the many ways to keep in touch.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Subscribe to our weekly e-newsletter. Take our audience survey. Become a supporting member. Invite your friends to a show. Join us as a volunteer. Finally, don’t be shy. At most shows, you will find me and other key CCA staff in the lobby before the show and at intermission. I always want to learn more about your experience here at the CCA, so step up and introduce yourself. We really enjoying getting to know folks who come to EXPERIENCE IT LIVE! Nicolette B. Clarke, Executive Director, Capitol Center for the Arts

our history and venues The CCA first opened in 1927 as the Capitol Theatre, a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit; it later became Concord’s premier movie house and concert hall. After closing in 1989, it underwent a multimillion dollar renovation / modernization and reopened in 1995 as the Capitol Center for the Arts. Today, the Capitol Center is home to the 1304-seat Chubb Theatre, the Spotlight Café, the elegant Governor’s Hall ballroom, and the historic Kimball House mansion.

For details on holding your next social or corporate event at the CCA, call us at 225-1111, ext. 124 or see p. 88.

frequently-asked questions BOX OFFICE/TICKET SALES When is your box office open?

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 11am6pm. Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, it is also open on Saturdays from 11am - 2pm. It opens one hour before each show for ticket sales exclusively to that performance and closes one half-hour after the show begins.

Can I return my tickets?

All sales are final and we do not offer refunds.

One of the benefits of CCA membership is ticket insurance. (See “What if I’m a member and can’t use my tickets?”)

What happens if the show is cancelled?

We will make every effort to notify you beforehand. If you purchased your tickets by credit card, your account will be credited. If you purchased your tickets with cash or a check, you will be mailed a check.

What if I can’t attend because of the weather?

If the show goes on as scheduled, we are contractually obligated to pay the performers. Therefore, we do not offer weather-related refunds.

surance. Our members may exchange tickets they cannot use for credit towards future performances by returning them to the Box Office at least 24 hours in advance of the performance.

Why is there a processing fee?

A processing fee applies for each ticket purchased online or by phone to offset costs of our ticketing system which allows patrons to choose their own seats when ordering by phone or online. There is no fee for tickets purchased at our Box Office.

Does my infant need a ticket if she is going to sit in my lap during a performance?

Yes. Each and every person attending a performance must have a ticket, including babes in arms, unless otherwise stated. This allows us to keep track of the number of people at a particular event in case of emergency.

When I received my tickets they were seats 14, 16, and 18. Are these seats together?

Yes. Seats on the right side of the theatre are even-numbered and those on the left side are odd-numbered. Seats in the center are numbered consecutively. This system helps our ushers direct you to your seats quickly and efficiently.

What can I do with my unused tickets if I am not a member?

For sold-out shows, we will attempt to resell unused tickets. If we can resell the tickets, a refund will be issued. All service fees are nonrefundable.

Can I buy tickets for another performance while I’m at the theater to see a show?

No. At performance time, our box office is staffed to quickly and efficiently serve patrons attending that particular show. We cannot sell tickets to other shows during this time.

What if I’m a member and can’t use my tickets?

One of the benefits of CCA membership is ticket in-

Do you have rush seats/discounts?

We do not offer rush seats. Occasionally, we may offer promotional discounts.

17

frequently-asked questions How do I get tickets to Gile Series performances and other free shows?

Tickets for free performances are generally available online, by phone, and in person at the Box Office. Tickets are available approximately one month prior to the performance date.

GENERAL CONVENIENCE (also see “Patron Services” on p. 13.)

Where is the closest ATM? In our lobby / vestibule.

Where are the closest restaurants?

There are many fine restaurants within walking distance of the Capitol Center. Many support us through our Restaurant Sponsor program and we encourage you to patronize them. See the Dining Guide in the back of this Playbill for details.

PROGRAMMING AND MARKETING Where can I find a complete and up-todate list of upcoming shows?

In the display rack to the left of our box office and on our web site. Join our E-Mail Club and have show information sent to you on a regular basis!

Who decides which shows will be booked?

Most shows are booked by our Programming Department. However, others are presented by outside promoters who rent our theatre.

Do you take artist suggestions?

Absolutely! E-mail them to friends@ccanh.com.

18

YOUR EXPERIENCE (also see “In Consideration of Others” on p. 14.)

At what time does the lobby open for a show? At what time is seating?

For Chubb Theatre (“mainstage”) performances, it opens one hour before - and seating begins 30 minutes before - performance time. Spotlight Café seating usually begins one hour prior to the performance. For Gile Concert Series events, seating begins 45 minutes prior to the show.

Why is the sound so loud / soft?

Our state-of-the-art sound system is calibrated to provide appropriate sound levels to all areas of the theater. Also, performing artists and their staff often have very specific requirements about how their shows should sound. We work closely with our shows to ensure that sound levels are appropriate. However, from time to time, some patrons may find the levels either too loud or too soft for their personal taste. We have free personal earplugs available. We also have a listening enhancement system provided for your use at no charge.

Can I bring food or drinks into the theatre?

Yes, wrapped food and drinks from our concessions booth are allowed inside. However, outside food and drink are not permitted.

Why is it so hot / cold inside the theatre?

Regulating the temperature of a building filled with as many as 1,300 people is tricky, since all those bodies raise the air temperature by several degrees. If you find it cool when you enter the building, you can expect the temperature to rise as the theatre fills. Please notify an usher if you believe the building is too warm or too cool.

frequently-asked questions I’m sitting behind a large wheelchair and can’t see. Can I switch seats?

We recognize that some motorized wheelchairs may block the view of patrons sitting in the next row. Please see an usher for assistance.

Do I have to wait in the lobby or the back of the theatre if I’m late for a show or event?

Each show has its own policy for late seating to ensure the best possible performance for all patrons and we are contractually obligated to oblige with these policies. The House Manager, ushers, and CCA staff are following the artists’ instructions.

Where do I put my coat?

We do not have a coat check and cannot assume responsibility for any unattended items. Please do not drape coats over the balcony rails.

Where is your lost and found?

In our box office.

MEMBERSHIP/DONOR RELATIONS (see also member/sponsor information at the back of this playbill) Why do you ask for money beyond ticket costs?

Ticket revenue covers only about 70 percent of our expenses, so we rely heavily on donations from individuals and corporations. We are a non-profit organization and must continually raise money to support our mission to bring high-quality performances and educational opportunities to the Concord area community.

Why do members get better seats?

We are grateful to the many members who support us each year. Their investment and belief in our role as a vital community resource is critical to our ongoing financial viability. We thank them by providing them with the best seats in the house.

Why is there a range of membership levels?

We created a range to allow donors at all income levels to contribute meaningfully to the CCA. What is the Ovation Society?

The premier group of individuals who support the ongoing work of the Capitol Center. Minimum entry is $1,000 per year for five years. Members enjoy exclusive privileges and receive special recognition. For more information, see p. 62.

How do I become an usher?

Sign up online at ccanh.com, call (603) 225-1111, ext. 115, fill out the card at the box office, or ask an usher or House Manager at any performance.

ABOUT THE FACILITY What are those funny painted squares on the wall?

Pieces of the original stenciling from 1927, when the theater was built. Plaques near each exposed section of stenciling explain their origins.

What is the history of this building?

The Capitol Theatre, as it was then known, opened January 30, 1927 as a vaudeville and movie house.

The theater was purchased by the non-profit Capitol Center for the Arts in the early 1990s. It was renovated in 1995 and again in 2003.

21

frequently-asked questions What other kinds of activities take place at the Capitol Center?

The CCA hosts weddings, business conferences, benefits, holiday parties, reunions, trade shows, and other private events. For rental information, call (603) 225-1111, ext. 114.

A venue offering audiences the chance to experience up-and-coming artists as well as regional and local performers in an intimate setting. Spotlight Café performances take place in the Governor’s Hall, our first-floor ballroom, with general admission table and row seating for up to 250.

What is The Kimball House? Is it part of the Kimball Jenkins Estate?

The Kimball House is a stately 19th-century Victorian mansion that serves as administrative office space for the Capitol Center and has hosted intimate dinner parties, business retreats and meetings. It is not part of the Kimball Jenkins Estate.

Do you do tours? Can I see the theatre?

Or course! We love showing off our historic venue.

LAURIE BERKNER: THE GREATEST HITS SOLO TOUR Saturday, February 11, 2017

|

11AM

Best-selling, award-winning children’s musician Laurie Berkner has been a longtime fixture on TV’s Nick Jr. and Sprout channels. Her original songs, albums (ten so far), DVDs, music videos, and books leave no doubt: she is the uncrowned queen of children’s music and the power behind the progressive “kindie rock” movement. Her music speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups. Laurie’s “Greatest Hits” solo show features popular hits like “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz)” and “Rocketship Run,” plus a few well-loved songs that are not often heard at her full-band concerts!

RHIANNON GIDDENS & DIRK POWELL Saturday, March 4, 2017 | 8PM American music has at its core an affirmative language that unites all of us as brothers and sisters.

Rhiannon Giddens and Dirk Powell are masters of this language. With roots in North Carolina and Kentucky, their musical heritage springs from places where the mix is particularly potent. Rhiannon brought AfricanAmerican stringband traditions a new and beautiful vitality through The Carolina Chocolate Drops, and has launched a versatile solo career that confirms her status as a major American artist for this day and age. Dirk has championed the Appalachian music of his grandfather and the Cajun/Creole sounds of his Louisiana family since his teenage years, becoming a central figure in the revitalization of both traditions, while recording and performing with artists like Eric Clapton and Joan Baez.

Waters, who documented more than 118 towns in the Carolinas, Virginia, and Tennessee in the latter half of the Great Depression. Scheinman’s score draws from folk music sources and integrates narrative songs that imagine the lives of several chosen protagonists, as well as a sound design score consisting of field sounds that add modern dimension to the piece.

DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD Thursday, March 9, 2017 | 6PM The legacy of the beloved Mister Rogers Neighborhood lives on with the award-winning television series, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, from The Fred Rogers Company and PBS KIDS.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Ozomatli has found a way to represent the city’s eclectic culture through music that appeals to the local community and the world beyond. Its success is exemplified in an impressive variety of genres from classic to modern Latino, urban, hip-hop and other world styles.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING PROVIDED BY:

THE JACK AND DOROTHY BYRNE FOUNDATION

In a theatrical tradition as old as Shakespeare, the ghostlight, a single lamp, stays lit up on the stage each night long after the audience has left, the sets have been struck, and the house lights have gone dark. At the Capitol Center for the Arts, the ghostlight, that one shining bulb that always lights the stage, is the inspiration for the Ghostlight Society, a group of committed young professionals who keep the CCA lights shining brightly through their support. Its mission is to engage and inspire a new generation of patrons to take an active role in supporting, promoting, and celebrating the performing arts. Ghostlight Society members enjoy perks ranging from early access to ticket sales to invitations to special events and the opportunity to be a part of a community of like-minded arts patrons.
