executive director’s welcome WELCOME TO THE CAPITOL CENTER FOR THE

Our excitement for the 2018-’19 season is two-fold: 1) we have a fantastic lineup of shows scheduled for the Chubb Theatre and Spotlight Café, and 2) we will be opening our second venue in the spring of 2019 with the rehabilitation of the old Concord Theatre located just up the street.

ARTS.

While you are here today, I invite you to stop by the Member table in the lobby to pick up a flyer on this rehabilitation project. (This new venue will be called the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in appreciation for a significant financial gift by the Bank for this project.) The new flexible configuration theatre is appropriate for small-scale productions for seated audiences and a music club for standing audiences. If you are interested in learning more, sign up for one of the many information sessions we are scheduling over the several months. Construction has begun and you can watch the progress on CCA’s YouTube channel where a time-lapse video is posted every week.

Capitol Center for the Arts Founded in 2008, Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. is a national wealth management firm that is committed to client-first service and providing the investment advice you deserve.

Bill Kearney, CFP® Branch Manager and Senior Vice President – Investments Bob Gile Vice President – Investments Greg Zini, CFP® Financial Advisor Lois Parker Operations Manager

I hope you fully enjoy the show that brought you to the Chubb Theatre or Spotlight Café today and we look forward to welcoming you back many times over the 2018-’19 season. Whether your love is music, theatre, opera, dance, or comedy (or all of the above), you can depend on the CCA to present creative, high quality, professional touring artists, the best in live capture video broadcasts, and a select array of local community productions.

Our mission is to bring artists and audiences together to inspire, educate, entertain, and strengthen community bonds. Thank you for supporting the Capitol Center for the Arts through your ticket purchases, membership contributions, and corporate sponsorships. Without your participation over the last 23 years, our historic 44 South Main Street venue would still be inhabited by pigeons and squirrels. With your continued support, another historic downtown theatre will be revived, adding new nightlife and economic impact to the greater Concord region. This year is going to be a sensational one. Please stay in touch.

We encourage you to stop by or give us a call.

about us is the largest and most eclectic performing arts center in central New Hampshire. We are a national-caliber live

The nonprofit Capitol Center for the Arts

entertainment venue. We bring the excitement of high-quality theater, music, dance, comedy, opera, and family programming to the Capital region. Not only are we a hub for the community, but fans travel from all over New England to attend performances here.

The Capitol Center first opened in 1927 as the Capitol Theatre, a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit. In our Chubb Theatre, you can still see pieces of the original stenciling from when the theater was built. Plaques near each exposed section of stenciling explain their origins. The building later became Concord’s premier movie house and concert hall.

After closing in 1989, the building underwent a multi-million dollar renovation / modernization and reopened in 1995 as the Capitol Center for the Arts. Today, the Capitol Center is home to: n the 1304-seat Chubb Theatre;

the Governor’s Hall first-floor ballroom, which doubles as the Spotlight Café, an intimate venue offering audiences the chance to see up-and-coming artists and regional/ local performers; and n our historic and stately Kimball House mansion, which also serves as our administrative office space. n

We love showing off our historic venue. To arrange a tour, please call (603) 225-1111, ext. 108.

14

Can I buy tickets for another performance while I’m at the CCA 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 insurance. 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.

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 What happens if the show is cancelled?

Performances occasionally cancel, for a number of reasons. If this happens, 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 a performance 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.

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. Everyone attending a performance must have a ticket, including babes in arms, unless otherwise stated. This allows us to keep track of the number of attendees in case of emergency.

I received my tickets for seats 14, 16, and 18. Are they together?

Yes. Seats on the right side of the theatre are even-numbered and those on the left are oddnumbered. Seats in the center are numbered consecutively.

Do you have rush seats/discounts?

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

How do I get tickets to Gile Series performances and other free shows?

Tickets for free CCA performances are generally available online, by phone, and at our Box Office. Tickets for Gile Series shows are available approximately one month prior to the performance.

15

frequently asked questions PROGRAMMING 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 at CCANH.com. 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 and other people/organizations who rent our theatre.

Do you take artist suggestions?

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

AT THE SHOW (also see “In Consideration of Others” at p. 12.)

When can I enter the theatre and take my seat?

For Chubb Theatre (“mainstage”) performances, the building 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 often have specific requirements as to how their shows should sound. We work closely with them to ensure that sound levels are appropriate.

However, from time to time, some patrons may 16

www.trpcomp.com

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.

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.

How do you manage your Business IT?

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

– Edgar Degas

I’m sitting behind a large wheelchair and can’t see the show. 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.

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.

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.

There are many ways to see the world, and the arts are a powerful lens through which to view it. We’re pleased to help bring different visions to life.

Rodney Crowell has enjoyed a long and varied career. There’s the record-making, which dates back to 1978 (when he released “Ain’t Living Long Like This”). There’s the fiercely lyrical and personal songwriting, which has attracted the attention of everyone from Bob Seger (who famously covered “Shame On the Moon”) to Keith Urban (who had a number-one hit with “Making Memories of Us”).
