The 2025 Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Management Teams, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. This ranking is based upon the period from 3/31/2023 to 3/31/2024 and was released on 01/09/2025. Advisor teams that are considered must have one advisor with a minimum of seven years of experience, have been in existence as a team for at least one year, have at least 5 team members, and have been nominated by their firm. The algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data.

Out of approximately 11,674 team nominations, 5,331 advisor teams received the award based on thresholds.

Dear North Carolina, For 70 amazing years, you—the people of North Carolina—have been by our side. You’ve inspired us and cheered us on since our first telecast back in 1955.

Together, we’ve welcomed Mister Rogers to our neighborhood, gotten our hands dirty with This Old House and gone on countless trips with NC Weekend. We’ve mastered the art of French cooking with Julia, found our roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and rummaged through every yard sale looking for the next big Antiques Roadshow discovery.

Because of you, PBS North Carolina has expanded beyond broadcast television to educate, inform, entertain and inspire all North Carolinians—at home, in the classroom or on the go. Your support has made all of this possible, and for that we’re forever grateful.

So here’s to you for 70 wonderful years!

And stay tuned as the best is yet to come.

With gratitude,

Your friends at PBS North Carolina

In this new era, it’s crucial that you take a fresh look at the challenges ahead and create a comprehensive plan to address them.

For 30 years, we’ve been working with people like you to address the challenges of the transition from accumulating their nest egg to using it to support their retirement lifestyle.

WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR

Greetings

O

n behalf of the City of Durham, I would like to welcome you to DPAC! Like so many Durham residents, I recognize the jewel that DPAC is to Durham and the Triangle region.

I’m thrilled to say that DPAC, after more than a decade, is continuing to showcase the energy, the passion and great entertainment with a list of performances that people will travel from miles around to see.

This season will feature some of Broadway’s biggest hits, concerts, comedy shows and special events to ever take the DPAC stage. I’m also excited to see so many DPAC fan-favorites and first-time performers take the stage throughout the upcoming season.

And as usual, all the special touches that come with seeing a Broadway show or concert at DPAC still await you, starting with the beauty of the theater and DPAC’s legendary customer service. A visit to DPAC is an open invitation to experience Durham.

It’s as easy as parking and walking to downtown restaurants, or taking a short drive to nearby malls, museums, or historical sites.

As your Mayor, I’m so excited that one of my duties is to officially welcome you to one of the greatest theaters in the world! But don’t take my word: last year DPAC was ranked in the top 5 in the country by national theater reviewers and magazines, including Venues Today and Pollstar.

Thank you for choosing DPAC and Durham.

Now settle into your seats to enjoy your DPAC experience and an unforgettable show.  In Service and Gratitude,

Leonardo Williams Mayor @CityofDurhamNC

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

"Welcome to DPAC!"

S

ince opening in 2008, this greeting has been offered to the nearly seven million guests who have come to DPAC to experience spectacular Broadway productions, high-profile concerts and comedy shows, and special events of all kinds.

As we look ahead, I can confidently say that Broadway’s biggest blockbusters, the very best new musicals from theatres in New York and London, plus the most exciting revivals of Broadway’s greatest hits are all planning for their future engagements at DPAC. As one of the most successful Broadway theaters in America, we cannot wait to share details about Broadway at DPAC’s 2025 / 2026 season and beyond.

It is both an honor and a privilege to present some of the biggest stars and greatest shows in the world, but what’s even more important is ensuring that each and every one of our guests has an unforgettable, moving, emotional, fun, and all-around great experience at DPAC. Our passion for the guest experience is unmatched, and our red carpet customer service commitment is always to you, our guests, members, and the super fans of Broadway.

It is our greatest reward to see audiences at DPAC immersed and captivated by the magic of live entertainment experiences shared with friends, family members, and loved ones.

I thank you for joining us for this very special performance... we’re glad you are here. 

DPAC's Broadway season is dedicated in loving memory of Betsy Kessler

Betsy Kessler (1952 – 2023)

F

or many of us, DPAC holds a special place in our hearts. From the bright lights and big smiles to that feeling of anticipation; there’s nothing quite like catching a show at DPAC. At least that’s what Betsy Kessler believed.

Betsy was the first ever Ticketing Specialist hired at DPAC. She would lovingly tell you that she had been here ‘since the dirt’. A larger than life persona, Betsy never met a stranger and made it her mission to connect everyone she met to DPAC. With her giant laugh, big rosy red cheeks, and warm hugs, it was a joy watching Betsy do what she loved in the place she called home.

For nearly sixteen years, Betsy was DPAC’s greatest champion. She ushered in groups by the dozens, made thousands of Broadway at DPAC members smile, and wore her DPAC red with pride. For me and many others, she will always be remembered as DPAC’s shining star.

Thank you, Betsy. It was a pleasure to see you shine.

2024/2025 SEASON DEDICATION

DPAC's Broadway season is dedicated in loving memory of William (Bill) Brackett, Jr.

Bill Brackett (1949 – 2024)

W

e take pride in being able to present the best touring shows that Broadway has to offer and one reason we can do that season after season was due to the tireless efforts of William (Bill) Brackett, Jr., retired Technical Director at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) and retired Director of Technical Operations at Professional Facilities Management (PFM), one of the two partner companies that operate DPAC. As part of his work with PFM, Bill was the lead consultant for the Stage and Backstage portions of DPAC, and it was Bill’s goal to ensure that DPAC could welcome the largest touring shows from New York - Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and Wicked, to name a few. In fact, many of the touring crew working on these shows provided input on the design of DPAC, all due to relationships Bill cultivated when these shows visited PPAC during his 21-year career in Providence.

Bill spent countless hours between Providence and Durham making sure the design came to fruition, all vital Audio, Lighting, and Rigging systems were specified and installed, and that all Production Staff were in place and ready to go ahead of DPAC’s opening performance on November 30, 2008, with B.B. King.

DPAC would not be the place it is today without the vision, leadership, and mentorship of William Brackett, Jr. – one of the founding fathers of DPAC.  presented by

THE DPAC RISING STAR AWARDS

PHOTO BY HUTH PHOTO

The best of high school musical theater talent in our region

T

he DPAC Rising Star Awards is a program designed to celebrate outstanding achievements in high school musical theater throughout Central North Carolina. The program focuses attention on the meaningful work being done both on and off stage by dedicated teachers and students.

As the regional qualifying event for The National High School Musical Theatre Awards™ (NHSMTA), also known as The Jimmy Awards®, The DPAC Rising Star Awards brings together high school musical theater students from Durham, the Triangle and the surrounding region to perform and compete for a chance to represent DPAC in the national finals in New York City.

44 | DPAC

The DPAC Rising Star Awards will take place at DPAC on May 29, 2025. The event will feature twenty student finalists as they compete live for their chance to advance to the national level at the Jimmy Awards in New York City. Throughout the course of the evening, 12 awards will be presented recognizing excellence in a broad range of categories. Hosted

by Clay Aiken and adjudicated live by a panel of esteemed judges, this event will not be one to miss.

Last spring, DPAC named Alex Fluker (Panther Creek High School) and Conor Kruger (Enloe High School) The DPAC Rising Star Awards’ Best Actress and Best Actor winners. Alex and Conor then went on to compete nationally at The Jimmy Awards®.

The national competition included a total of 102 nominees representing 51 Regional Awards Programs from across the country. Alex and Conor worked with Broadway professionals and made their Broadway debuts on Nederlander’s Minskoff Stage, where Disney’s The Lion King performs to sold out audiences nightly. Both represented DPAC and Central North Carolina exceptionally and we cannot wait to see their bright futures.

More information on NHSMTA™ and The Jimmy Awards® can be found at jimmyawards.com.  The DPAC Rising Star Awards are made possible by the generous support of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina

Special thanks to our community partners and judges

GUEST ETIQUETTE

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

After the Performance Yes, the lobby gets busy and the parking lots can be tricky, but please remain at your seats until the houselights come up.

As a courtesy to the performers and other audience members, DPAC asks that you do not rush for the exits prematurely at the end of the performance.

Entering and Exiting the Seating Area Please time your exits and reentry 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.

Kids at DPAC Please note that all guests require a ticket, regardless of age. Children under the age of 6 are not allowed at most DPAC performances including Broadway, Concerts and Comedy shows.

For some shows, DPAC will make recommendations on the appropriate minimum age based on the content and the length of the event. Parental discretion is always advised and judgment of the appropriateness of the content for each show should be made on an individual basis prior to purchase.

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

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.

Quiet Please Once the show starts, please let the stage be the center

of attention. We ask that you turn off all cell phones and limit conversation.

MOBILE ENTRY AT DPAC

PHOTO BY HUTH PHOTO

Your phone is now your ticket

M

obile entry is a safe, easy, convenient, and contactless way to access and manage your tickets all in one place.

Safety is every venue’s #1 priority and mobile entry gives DPAC a better understanding of who guests are prior to every performance. Now, more than ever, it is critical for venues to know who is in possession of each ticket in order to be able to share important information with them before the doors open and the show begins.

With mobile entry, which is powered by DPAC’s official ticketing partner Ticketmaster, there’s no need for direct contact or physical exchange of your ticket. Mobile entry guarantees a quick and safe ticket scan straight from your phone.

Our secure ticket technology reduces the risk of ticket fraud and eliminates the possibilities of theft or counterfeiting. Once you’ve purchased your mobile tickets on Ticketmaster, you can always rest assured you’re getting the seats you paid for.

Always be aware, though. Do not purchase tickets from unauthorized online ticket brokers. Don’t be fooled by online websites that mimic DPAC’s name or website or offer tickets they might not even have. Go directly to DPACnc.com or to Ticketmaster.com.  72 | DPAC

SOLVE: Move one toothpick in such a way that all of them together still spell WIN

If you figured it out, congratulations. Moving the orange toothpick from first to last creates the word WIN again—if you turn the page upside down.

The puzzle demonstrates that finding solutions sometimes requires looking at a problem from an unexpected angle. That’s the way Brooks Pierce lawyers approach legal issues—always questioning the conventional answers, and finding uncommon ways to solve problems.
