executive director’s welcome WELCOME TO THE CAPITOL CENTER FOR THE ARTS. Our excitement for the second half of 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 June with the rehabilitation of the old Concord Theatre located just up the street.

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 was recently named 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. Construction is well underway and you can watch the progress on CCA’s YouTube channel where a walk through video is posted every week.

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 this 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 24 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.

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.

patron services We want your experience here to be memorable. For your convenience: A house manager is on duty for each performance and is ultimately responsible for making our patrons feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

The house manager oversees our volunteer ushers, who can assist you with seating, programs, safety, and comfort. If you require any assistance during the show, please contact the nearest usher. If you are interested in becoming 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.

Parking is available nearby at the Capital

Commons garage (entrance on Storrs St.) and an outdoor lot one block north of the CCA on S State St. On-street parking is free all day Sundays and on other evenings after 7PM. Handicapaccessible spaces with curb cuts are located in front of the theater. Please be considerate to our neighbors and do not park in posted lots or in front of driveways: your car may be towed.

Restrooms are located in the main lobby

and balcony lobby.

Vending machines and an ATM are

located in the vestibule next to the box office.

Special seating accommodations are available throughout the theater.

These should be requested at the time of your ticket purchase. If, after arriving at your seat, you require additional accommodation, please notify the nearest usher for assistance.

Accessing our facilities: The box

office vestibule, main lobby (including bathrooms), and orchestra level, are wheelchairaccessible. Ushers may be available at the front walkway to assist patrons being dropped off in front of the building. We also have an elevator available to help patrons get to the orchestra level from the main lobby without having to climb stairs. Please allow extra time to let us best assist you.

We don’t want you to miss anything!

Enhanced listening devices are available. Please inquire at the box office.

A courtesy phone is located in the

vestibule to the left of the stair tower.

Lose something at a show? A lost and found is located at our box office for any items we find while cleaning the theatre or turned in by another patron.

Refreshments are available for purchase

at most performances during intermission in the lobby or in The Governor’s Hall. You may bring many of the items you purchase from us right to your seats. However, for safety reasons, glass bottles are not allowed inside the theater. Also, outside food and drink are not permitted.

Dining: 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.

11

in consideration of others Please help us create exquisite experiences for others, too:

CHILDREN Please use discretion regarding young children’s ability to sit quietly and enjoy a show. Tickets are required for all patrons at all performances, including babes in arms, unless expressly stated otherwise (such as certain family and children’s performances).

SMOKING Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the CCA. There are ashtrays outside the front entrance.

Please be courteous and discard cigarette butts in the nearest receptacle.

CAMERAS AND RECORDING DEVICES Non-professional, non-flash, still photography is permitted unless posted or stated otherwise. Professional cameras and recording / broadcasting of any kind (including video, Facebook Live, and similar apps) are prohibited without express prior written permission from both the performers and the CCA. 12

BEEPING & RINGING ITEMS Audible phones, watches, and other electronic devices must be turned off during the show to avoid distracting others. If you must use such devices, please do so in our lobby or vestibule.

CONCERT SEATING POLICY We are proud to welcome all types of shows and concerts to our stage. Occasionally during a performance, audience members will show their enthusiasm by standing and dancing, especially when encouraged by the performers to do so.

Unless directed by the show, we do not enforce a “must-sit” policy at concerts. To do so would not be acceptable to the performers when the crowd is moved to stand. This is especially true for rock shows and seats closest to the stage. We do not have a “no standing” policy and, in most situations, will allow guests to stand even if they block the view of the stage for other guests. If you are disturbed by having your view blocked by a standing or dancing guest, please notify an usher and we’ll attempt to find you alternative seating.

MARK BOGACZ PHOTOGRAPHY

LATE ARRIVALS Each show has its own policy for late seating to ensure the best possible experience for all patrons and we are contractually obligated to abide with these policies. If you arrive after the show begins, you will not be seated until a suitable break, and then at the discretion of the CCA and artists. No refunds will be given as a result of late arrivals.

Preparing for the center stage takes focus, strategy and discipline. If you’re preparing for the next stage of your life and want investment advice that’s professional yet local, and disciplined yet passionate, call Joyce at Granite Investment Advisors, and learn which wealth management strategies are right for you.

frequently asked questions BOX OFFICE/TICKETING 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 that show begins.

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

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.

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.

RANDY OTTO’S WINSTON CHURCHILL - THE BLITZ Thursday, March 7, 2019 - 7pm With more than four decades of formidable academic and performance passion, Randy Otto shatters the imaginary 4th wall and delivers an astonishingly nuanced, humorous, witty, and REAL Winston Churchill with gravitas and grit. Be transported from tears to laughter and back again. This spirited performance includes period film and photos, a rousing British music hall Sing-Along led by Winston and an interactive Q&A.

BRIAN REGAN Wednesday, March 13, 2019 - 7:30 pm Brian Regan is noted for his innate ability to appeal to just about everyone. His critically-acclaimed standup routines range from sarcasm to everyday observations. He can turn the most mundane situations – like going to the eye doctor to get fitted for glasses or trying to decide how many Fig Newtons to eat in one sitting – into side-splitting stand-up material.

on the edge series

SEAN ROWE Sunday, March 31, 2019 - 7:30pm “We are the elders of our minds,” sings Sean Rowe on “Gas Station Rose,” the track that ushers in his fourth album, New Lore, with plaintive plucks of guitar and steady drips of piano that fall in like rain. It’s a sparse and beautiful moment, anchored

by Rowe’s unparalleled voice – so full of gravely soul, aged and edged by years on the road, as a father and husband, as a creative force always looking for the next rhyme. The song is a roadmap for a gentle heart in a world where the best oracle isn’t within a computer, but within ourselves.

HANNAH SANDERS & BEN SAVAGE Sunday, April 28, 2019 - 7:30pm Huddled round a single microphone, singing intimate duets with just mountain dulcimer, dobro, and guitar Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage are an acoustic duo that look & sound classically timeless, yet feel refreshingly unique. Fleetingly, they may evoke a memory of Gram & Emmylou, Shirley & Davey, or Gillian & David but their warm distilling of musical influences from both sides of the Atlantic produces a refined sound that is decidedly their own.

The “On the Edge” Series is sponsored by Cherylanne Williams and Ron & Stephany Lavallee.

ALL ABOUT EVE

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF

HD REBROADCASTS OF NATIONAL THEATRE PRODUCTIONS

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Tuesday, February 5, 2019 - 6pm On a steamy night in Mississippi, a Southern family gather at their cotton plantation to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The scorching heat is almost as oppressive as the lies they tell.

Brick and Maggie dance round the secrets and sexual tensions that threaten to destroy their marriage. Tennessee Williams’ twentieth century masterpiece Cat on a Hot Tin Roof played a strictly limited season in London’s West End in 2017. Benedict Andrews’ ‘thrilling revival’ (New York Times) stars Sienna Miller alongside Jack O’Connell and Colm Meaney.

THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE III Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - 6pm It’s 1786 and King George III is the most powerful man in the world. But his behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic as he succumbs to fits of lunacy. With the King’s mind unravelling at a dramatic pace, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man.

The cast of this new production includes Olivier Award-winners Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Wolf Hall, NT Live Coriolanus) in the title role, and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs, After the Dance).

THE TRAGEDY OF KING RICHARD THE SECOND

Simon Russell Beale returns to National Theatre Live screens following broadcasts of Timon of Athens and King Lear, and his recent role in the National Theatre’s critically acclaimed production of The Lehman Trilogy.

I’M NOT RUNNING Wednesday, March 27, 2019 - 6pm Pauline Gibson has spent her life as a doctor, the inspiring leader of a local health campaign.

When she crosses paths with her old boyfriend, a stalwart loyalist in Labour Party politics, she’s faced with an agonizing decision. What’s involved in sacrificing your private life and your piece of mind for something more than a single issue? Does she dare? Playwright David Hare was recently described by The Washington Post as ‘the premiere political dramatist writing in English’. His other work includes Pravda and Skylight, broadcast by National Theatre Live in 2014.

ALL ABOUT EVE Tue, April 30, 2019 - 6pm All About Eve tells the story of Margo Channing. Legend. True star of the theatre. The spotlight is hers, always has been. But now there’s Eve. Her biggest fan. Young, beautiful Eve. The golden girl, the girl next door.

But you know all about Eve…don’t you…?

Starring Gillian Anderson and Lily James.

LA BAYADERE
