WELCOME FROM OUR SPONSOR

SunTrust is proud to sponsor what may be the most stellar season yet of SunTrust Broadway at DPAC! Whether this is your first SunTrust Broadway visit, or you’re a long-time season seat member, we’re delighted to welcome you to this exciting performance.

SunTrust understands that that the arts are essential to the quality of life in the communities we serve. The performing arts in particular have the power to inspire, entertain, inform, thrill and unite us in a communal experience. We value our ongoing partnership with DPAC, which has proven to be an extraordinary artistic and economic force in our region, forever setting a high bar on quality that it meets and exceeds season after season.

Helping people gain personal confidence about their finances is SunTrust’s passion and our purpose. Did you know that 75% of Americans report that their finances are their primary source of stress? SunTrust recognized that this is a silent epidemic that had to be addressed. In 2016, we launched the onUp Movement to offer everyone – SunTrust clients or otherwise – a way to take the first steps toward financial confidence.

Escaping financial stress frees you to enjoy what is most important. We encourage you to join the Movement at onUp.com, where you’ll find tips, resources and challenge games to launch your journey to a life well-spent.

But for tonight, sit back, and enjoy the show!

Christopher J. Bell SunTrust Region President, Triangle East

Welcome to SunTrust Broadway at DPAC!

WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR The traditional tenth anniversary gift is aluminum or tin, but that just does not seem fitting to celebrate a place that has delivered nothing but platinum for Durham for the last decade. As Durham’s mayor, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Durham Performing Arts Center.

My wife and I have been season ticket holders in DPAC’s Broadway series since it opened in 2008, and like DPAC’s more than 4 million guests, I continue to marvel at the caliber of performances showcased in our great city. Each year just gets better and better. For example, more than 480,000 visitors walked the red carpet last year to attend award-winning musicals, such as Les Misérables, The Color Purple, and sold-out concerts including David Byrne, Anita Baker and Jerry Seinfeld. In addition, this past fall, DPAC hosted 32 sold-out performances of the Tony® award-winning musical HAMILTON. That’s not all. While providing entertainment that families can enjoy together is a top priority for DPAC, finding ways to involve those who may not otherwise enjoy all that the arts have to offer has become a special passion for this theater. Last year, DPAC hosted its second “sensory-friendly” theatrical performance for children with autism.

No doubt, the arts contribute to Durham’s sense of community.Your attendance enables DPAC to support other nonprofit arts groups, such as the Durham Arts Council and the Hayti Heritage Center. DPAC also cultivates the arts in education by arranging visits from touring cast members to local schools through Heart of the Arts, and not to mention donating hundreds of tickets each year to schools and local charities to use for auctions and fundraising. DPAC is constantly working to ensure that the arts touch many areas of Durham and, indeed, the entire Triangle community.

A visit to DPAC is an open invitation to experience Durham—from great awardwinning restaurants to shopping and culture. It’s as easy as parking and either walking, biking or taking the bus to downtown eateries, or taking a short drive to nearby malls, museums or historical sites. If you stay the night, downtown hotels are here to welcome you with open arms.

Milestone anniversaries are often the result of great partnerships, and DPAC is no different. Since the very beginning, the facility’s manager Nederlander/PFM has been responsible for bringing Tony®-winning Broadway shows to Durham, making DPAC a source of local, regional and national pride.

If the first ten years indicate what’s to come, then buckle your seatbelts! Thank you for choosing DPAC and Durham. Now settle into your seats to enjoy your DPAC experience and an unforgettable show!

Sincerely,

Mayor Steve Schewel

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Welcome to DPAC! We’re glad you are here.

The team here recently celebrated our tenth birthday. It was a milestone that had us looking back on hosting over 2,000 events, entertaining over 4 million guests - generating an economic impact for Durham of over $658 million.

I was DPAC’s first employee. I started in January of 2008, about ten months before the center opened. When I first started, I had no office and worked out of a Starbucks in Downtown Durham that had a good Wi-Fi connection.

One of my first tasks as General Manager was to recruit the original management team.

We started with ten full-time staff members; since then, the staff has doubled in size as the number of annual events has tripled from our first season. Special recognition goes to Rachel Traversari and Josh Anderson, who were part of the original staff and have grown into roles as senior leaders within our organization.

The success that DPAC has does not just happen. It takes hundreds of full-time, parttime and volunteer staff members, and many more at The Nederlander Organization, Professional Facilities Management and the City of Durham’s elected officials and staff with whom we work closely in the operation of DPAC. I extend my thanks to everyone that has played a part in DPAC being ranked among the top five theaters in the country every year.

This past October we received what may be our greatest recognition, being named as Theater of the Year by IEBA (International Entertainment Buyers Association), a trade association made of venue managers, agents, and event promoters. This recognition is a source of pride for Durham and the region: there were a total of seven theaters nominated with the six other nominees in the much larger markets of Los Angeles, New York and Chicago.

We’re always proud to share the accolades, awards and top rankings we achieve at DPAC, because we also want to thank you, our loyal guests, who have made this possible. Thank you for choosing to join us at this performance, and thank you for a fantastic first ten years.

Sincerely,

Bob Klaus General Manager

FOUNDER’S SPOTLIGHT In Memoriam In the past year, three beloved staff members of DPAC passed away. Their colleagues took time to share remembrances of these friends gone too soon.

Vince McCoy, 60 Until his untimely passing in September, Vince had served as an usher since the day DPAC first opened its doors on Nov. 30, 2008.

“Vince’s easy-going personality and smile has laid the groundwork for the guest experience that exists today,” says Michael Louthan, DPAC’s Director of Audience and Event Services. Several colleagues mentioned that it was evident he loved working at a performing arts venue.

“I will always think of Vince in relation to the musical Wicked,” Michelle Frost says. “He loved that show, especially ‘Defying Gravity.’

He always told me that he got chills hearing that song.” He also knew his stuff, even up until his last days.“I quizzed him on a couple of the trivia questions during one of our last visits,” recalls Jerry Boylan. “He answered right away that BB King was the first performer and that RENT was the first Broadway show.”

“Most of all,Vince always treated everyone - guests and co-workers alike - with kindness and respect. “Vince was such a fine man and a true gentleman,” says Anne Infinito.

“Working alongside him was always a pleasure. I have missed his smiling face and upbeat attitude at DPAC. Go with God, Vince.”

Michael Land, 66 Michael joined DPAC two years ago as the staff photographer.

If you’ve attended a DPAC performance in that time, there’s a very good chance you’ve met Michael. One regular guest said: “He was so great, and always added to our DPAC experience.

He made my daughter and me feel like models.” Michael passed away unexpectedly on May 4.

“In two short years, almost all of our guests had a positive experience with him with the red carpet photos,” Louthan says.

“He was the definition of a gentleman in terms of how he carried himself and made every guest, even when there was a long line, feel special and that they were the most important thing he was focused on. When you find someone like Michael, you find a gem. And it’s very tough to lose that.”

Michael cut a memorable and charming figure, several colleagues say. “Michael’s standard greeting was, ‘How ya doin’?’ with a slight New Jersey accent,” says Dennis Wiziecki. “He was always impeccably dressed and had a kind word to share with everyone. He was amazing at making guests feel special as he posed them.”

Wilhelmina Rice recalls one moment with Michael that always made them both laugh.

“Once I saw this woman had walked up to him and took his head in her hands and kissed him,” she says. “So I walked back over there and said ‘Oh, so this is what you’re doing, flirting and kissing when you’re supposed to be taking pictures?’ Well, Michael and I laughed about that every time we saw each other, but he did explain to me that the lady was one of his professors when he attended Duke University. I will truly miss our conversations and laughs we had together.”

He was as kind to his co-workers as he was to guests, says Phyllis Carington. “Michael always had your back,” she says. “During a quick turnaround between a weekend Broadway matinee/evening shift, I unfortunately did not bring anything to eat and was rather hungry.

Michael quickly pulled out a chicken salad snack pack and insisted that I take it.”

Michelle Arriaga summed up Michael’s warm spirit: “He always welcomed me with such a smile that just brightened up a cloudy day.”

Roger Kornegay, 70 Roger was one of the original stagehands at DPAC, and brought his positive attitude to his job each day until passing away in January. “He was one of the people who worked tirelessly to make all of the great shows, day in and day out,” Louthan says.

“You can’t do 200-plus events a year without a team of people working hard, and he was an important and now a missed part of that.” His colleagues say that he radiated positivity at all times.

“Truly he would light up a room,” says Karen Byers. “Everybody was his friend. He had the best attitude I’ve ever seen. Doing all the hard work we do back here, he always did it with a smile.” Caitlin Brooks says Roger was particularly keen to make new employees feel welcome. “Whenever anyone new would come in, he would take him under his wing and make sure they were on the up and up and in the know and fill in any gaps that they had,” she says.

Matt Tippett bonded with Roger over their love of motorcycles and military service in Vietnam. “He never met a stranger, and was always positive,” he says.

Before moving to his current role, Louthan spent years working closely with backstage crews. He grew to appreciate the good attitude and infectious joie de vive Roger brought to his job. “Working in the back, it was always nice when I saw his name on the list,” Louthan says, “because I knew it was going to be a better day.”

AVOID SCALPERS Don’t purchase tickets from Internet scalpers!

At DPAC, we’re tired of seeing unauthorized ticket brokers take advantage of DPAC ticket buyers.

Don’t be fooled by online websites who mimic DPAC’s name or website and offer tickets they might not even have.You will always pay more, will rarely get the seats they advertise, and you may even receive counterfeit tickets.

•

Go directly to DPACnc.com or to Ticketmaster.com; type it in yourself, rather than using an online search. These are the only OFFICIAL ONLINE TICKETING PROVIDERS for events at DPAC.

•

If you do use a search engine, look for the official DPAC website www.DPACnc.com. Only our authentic venue site is allowed to be labeled as “official.”

•

“Speculative Listing” is when unofficial sellers list tickets for sale even though they do not actually have those tickets. They are betting they can trick you into buying tickets, often in seat locations you may not really want and at a price much higher than what others are paying for the same seats. For more information about speculative ticketing, visit this warning from Ticketmaster: https://insider.ticketmaster.com/spec-ticketing/

Avoid unsecured purchases from fraudulent and misleading online ticket brokers.

Don’t overpay for your tickets. For the best prices and best selection, always go directly to DPACnc.com or Ticketmaster.com and BUY DIRECT!

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH Making a Difference in Our Community

Since 2008, DPAC’s community outreach program Heart of the Arts has been making connections between the shows DPAC presents on our stage, local students and non-profit organizations.

Through Heart of the Arts, DPAC coordinates master classes led by touring Broadway cast and crew members for Durham students interested in the performing arts. Students and their teachers have told us that DPAC’s educational outreach events are among their school year’s highlights.The chance to interact with Broadway theater professionals is inspiring; they provide real-world insights and offer students a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

New this year, DPAC’s Heart of the Arts team has started the Performing Arts Ambassador program. The diversity of what is offered at DPAC will be revealed to high school students passionate about the arts through this yearround program and they will acquire a behind-the-scenes look at the events at one of the top five theaters in America. These up-close experiences will not only help students realize the importance of the arts, but also allow them to share their insights and experiences with teens throughout the region via social media.

GUEST ETIQUETTE At DPAC, we’re committed to Guest Courtesy. Please remember to be a good neighbor to those seated around you.

IT CAN WAIT.

Please save texting until AFTER the show. The light from phones is distracting to others throughout the theater. Please keep them turned off.

QUIET PLEASE.

Once the show starts, please let the stage be the center of attention.

We ask that you turn off all phones and limit conversation. If children are attending this performance with you, please exit the theater immediately if they become restless or talkative.

CAMERAS / RECORDING

Photography and video recording is prohibited. All electronic devices (cell phones, smart phones, tablets, digital cameras) must be turned off before the start of the show. Cameras with detachable lenses are never allowed into the building, and for some shows no cameras of any kind are allowed, including small point-and-shoot cameras.

ENTERING AND EXITING THE SEATING AREA

Please time your exit and re-entry to the seating area to occur only at intermission or breaks between songs. This is a courtesy to other guests around you who will appreciate you keeping these disruptions to a minimum.

IT’S SUPERSTAR ENTERTAINMENT, NOT A FOOD FEST Small snacks and drinks are welcome in the seating area, but as a courtesy to those around you, eat and drink as quietly as possible.

Please know that odors and noisy wrappers can disturb others. We also ask that you finish sandwiches or other large food items before entering the seating area.

KIDS AT DPAC

Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests. As a courtesy, DPAC recommends one parent or chaperone for every one child in attendance.

We sincerely hope you enjoy your DPAC experience so please know we are here to help.

If you have a question or need assistance of any kind, please just ask the nearest usher, security guard, or DPAC staff member. We believe in great entertainment experiences, and we want to be our guests’ favorite place for live events.

DISCOVER BROADWAY Can’t use one or more of your season tickets for the next show? Donate your tickets and give an area youth or senior the chance to experience their first Broadway show ever!

DPAC’s Discover Broadway and Golden Ticket programs offer SunTrust Broadway members a way to donate their tickets so their valuable seats do not go to waste.

During the 2017 / 2018 season, over 150 tickets were donated to these programs and distributed to Durham Public Schools, Partners for Youth Opportunity and Durham seniors living in public housing. For many, these seats provided opportunities for youth and seniors to experience their first Broadway show ever.

For the 2018 / 2019 season, DPAC’s Discover Broadway program will be partnering with Durham Public Schools to reach students in the performing arts who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend our events.

DPAC’s Golden Ticket benefits seniors living at the J.J. Henderson Housing Center in Durham. By generously donating tickets you cannot use, Durham youth and seniors get the chance to experience the magic and music of live Broadway shows. With your generosity, these donated tickets provide the opportunity of a lifetime.

It’s easy to help: • If you know in advance that you cannot attend a show, or even if one member of your party will not be joining you, simply contact DPAC at :

DiscoverBroadway@dpacnc.com

• You will receive an acknowledgment from DPAC that your unused ticket information is being processed.

• You, then, discard your original tickets and DPAC will handle all other details – we will reprint the tickets and arrange to have them distributed to deserving Durham students and seniors. * Please note: ticket donations must be made at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled performance date.
