2018-19 Fox Cities Performing Arts Center Season at a Glance

WELCOME HOME The mission of the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center is to serve as a gathering place for the community to engage in educational opportunities and enhance understanding and enjoyment of life through the creation and presentation of the arts.

Together this season, we’ve celebrated memorable moments on stage, with our audience and in our community.

Thank you for making the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center your home this season!

In the 2018-19 Season we explored the meaning of home with you. Home might mean the place you live, the people you love or the memories you hold. This season, home to us was made up of your stories, your memories and the incredible live experiences we shared in our theater and especially in our community, making the arts come alive.

Our Kimberly-Clark Broadway Across America – Fox Cities Series brought a mix of fun, tradition and inspiration including three Wisconsin Broadway premieres. Our Spotlight Series brought comedy, country and cabaret.

Our Boldt Arts Alive! Series included dance, drama, music from around the world and a beautiful evening for all ages when our resident partner, Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra, performed Pixar in Concert. More than 24,000 students watched their classroom lessons come to life in our Bemis Company Education Series and nearly 5,000 participated in a Community First Community Engagement Series activity.

As you read more about just a few of this season’s highlights, you will learn about the experiences and moments where the arts came alive in our community.

Thank you for sharing in the power of the performing arts with us each and every time you visit the Center.

ENGAGE Young Minds Students learn and grow though the arts

The students were very impressed, engaged, and many looked up to the dancers as positive role models.

Disney’s The Lion King encourages kids to get up and go When Disney’s The Lion King came roaring back to the Fox Cities P.A.C. in February, it welcomed more than 44,000 patrons, nearly 7,000 of whom were first time visitors, some from as far away as Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois. In addition to the performances on stage, visiting cast and crew members participated in nearly a dozen special opportunities including chatbacks, meet and greets, school visits and workshops that engaged more than 800 individuals.

Included in those engagements were small, but profoundly impactful moments like when Gerald Ramsey (Mufasa) visited Kaleidoscope Academy. Gerald had met Kristine Glenn (theater educator from Kaleidoscope) in Saudi Arabia where Kristine was a teacher and Gerald was a high school student. Kristine cast Gerald in his first high school production. Now, several years later and almost 7,000 miles away, Gerald visited with Kristine’s current theater students, and others from Kaleidoscope, sharing the inspirational story of how he came to be touring with

The Lion King. Nuestro Mundo Community School out of Monona, Wisconsin, also had a unique opportunity to have a chatback with the cast while preparing their own production of The Lion King Jr. “We had a great time. The show was amazing, and the kids were perfectly poised to take it all in and really learn from it. Thank you so much for your extra legwork to accommodate us for the chatback - the kids hung on to their every word!” said Katie Hayden, an educator at the school.

One particularly engaging event was when cast members Andrew Arrington and Shacura Wade brought the Get Up and Go program to Appleton Bilingual and Columbus Elementary Schools.

“Get Up and Go brought together 40 fourth and fifth grade students to learn about healthy choices, get moving and reinforce their classroom lessons in a fun, unique way,” said director of programming and community engagement Amy Gosz. “In addition to learning about healthy choices and movement, students reinforced common messages like listening, following directions and teamwork to have a fun morning of learning outside of the classroom. That was made even more special with a tale like The Lion King, which they may already be familiar with.”

Students discussed healthy food choices while participating in activities that got them stretching, running and following directions, learned choreography to “He Lives In You” from the show and spent time giving high-fives at the end of the program.

This partnership between the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra, the Fox Cities P.A.C. and classroom educators provided more than 1,500 students from 23 schools an opportunity to be the orchestra from their seats as they sang, danced and played recorders. One school even came from Norway, Michigan, making the 122-mile trip to participate along with the Fox Valley Symphony Youth Orchestra in music like “Ode to Joy,” “Simple Gifts,” and the Latin groove “Oye.” For Patricia Merrifield, music specialist for Jefferson Elementary, the program gave her the opportunity to show her students how fun and rewarding being part of a communal music making event can be.

“A student told me from the beginning of our journey that I couldn’t make them play the recorder,” Merrifield said.

“After the concert, the same student said ‘That was so much fun!’”

REACH Out to Students Arts experiences beyond the classroom Going In To America This spring, a grant from the Performing Arts for Youth Fund within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region helped the Fox Cities P.A.C. bring the arts into five middle schools, including some who don’t often have the opportunity to engage with the Center.

In To America, a touring production by Griffin Theatre Company of Chicago, performed for more than 2,400 students in an April 25 Bemis Company Education Series performance. Ahead of that show, five cast members arrived in the Fox Cities to bring their powerful message to more than 800 middle school students in Tigerton, Gresham, Hilbert, Appleton and Neenah.

The residency was designed to reach schools that have not had the opportunity to engage with the Center on a regular basis due to distance or other barriers. It also engaged local schools that showed interest in diving deeper into the topics the show explores.

“We all understand the access barriers that face rural communities. It’s not just the transportation costs, it’s also the time that is required outside of the students schools classroom to get from a more rural setting to the theater,” said Community Foundation Vice President of Donor Services and Gift Planning, Ann Engelhard. “So programs that go out into the community, even the local community, help to cut down on that time and expense while providing important experiences, really helping to meet students where they are.”

At each stop the cast performed an excerpt from the show, which features the stories of immigrants to America from the founding of Jamestown to present day. Monologues feature stories from men, women and children from all walks of life and backgrounds and provides a reflection on their difficulties and celebrations of creating a new life in America. After the performance, students had the opportunity to ask questions and have open discussions about history, diversity and the commonalities we all share while celebrating our unique differences.

For many, it was the stories in which they could see themselves, their friends or their educators reflected in that made this experience such an impactful lesson to remember. For others, it was the opportunity to learn about our differences and discover similarities in our personal histories.

The piece was displayed in the Center’s lobby during the run of the show.

Students celebrated their achievements by revealing their artwork to a member of the touring company and sharing dinner together before watching the hilarity ensue on stage.

Sarah Reis, social worker at Appleton Central, reflected on the impact the program made on the students saying “When we engage in programs such as this we are hoping that our students will be able to move out of their comfort zone and have an experience like never before. The vast majority of our students have limited financial means and are not always able to afford to experience some of what the Fox Valley has to offer. We hope that our students will be inspired by what they hear, learn and see.

Some of our students struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression and having them get involved in a program such as this is great for them to challenge themselves while still being in a safe, small group environment while also teaching them about coping skills such as humor to get through life’s many challenges.”

Finding the Funny High school students from Appleton Central found the funny through the arts this spring as the Frank C. Shattuck Performing Arts Touch the Hearts of Students (P.A.T.H.S.) program brought 16 students through a one-of-a-kind experience focused on resilience and humor. Through workshops with comedians, health professionals and artists, participants explored the use of humor as a healthy coping mechanism to respond to challenges, accept responsibility and develop a positive outlook on life. As a culmination of their program, the group spent four, one-hour sessions building a set piece inspired by the comedy of The Play That Goes Wrong.

Engaging high school students There’s nothing quite like hearing 100 high school students sing the sentiments “don’t be discouraged…don’t give up now.” That’s exactly what filled the Kimberly-Clark Theater when gospel artist Trey McLaughlin and his group The Sounds of Zamar warmed hearts during a January workshop. Students from Xavier and Appleton North High School choirs joined together to share in an experience that taught the power of choral music and harmony, and showed the students when they worked together they could create something really beautiful.

“By doing this workshop, I think it reaffirmed the power of artistic experience in creating a common language by which we can find the similarities between people that we don’t often see.” Appleton North Choir Director Luke Aumann said.

For Xavier High School choir student Anna Ebben, the message and the idea behind the workshop was driven home when students were invited to sing with Trey McLaughlin and The Sounds of Zamar in their evening performance as part of the Center’s Boldt Arts Alive! Series.

“When we went onstage to sing with The Sounds of Zamar, it was a dream come true. I remember singing next to a girl from Appleton North and even though I had never met her before, I felt as if we were friends by the end of the song. That was one of the most exciting performances I have ever done,” Ebben said.

Fellow choir member Molly Voisseum echoed the sentiment, saying “While we were up there I felt overwhelmed with joy and appreciation for music. I could see how the music we were making was affecting the audience and that brought me an overwhelming sense of love. It was an incredible experience.”

Engaging veterans with Beyond Glory

CONNECT to our community Unique experiences to engage in the arts

Actor Stephen Lang is known for his role as Elias Walker in the video game Call of Duty: Ghosts as Col. Miles Quaritch in Avatar among other roles, including a Tony Award® nomination. But on Nov. 8, he was an actor with important stories to tell. His one man show, Beyond Glory, took the stage that evening, highlighting the stories of eight Medal of Honor recipients from various wars. Before his performance, he honored veterans at a luncheon at Fox Valley Technical College.

“The Honoring Veterans Lunch is an annual event that we host with the goal of recognizing and honoring the veterans who are attending classes with us, and raising awareness about veterans’ issues,” said Shannon Gerke Corrigan, manager of co-curricular and student engagement at Fox Valley Technical College. “Having Stephen Lang speak at the event helped to elevate it. Never in our wildest dreams could we afford to bring in a speaker like that and having him there really helped to make the event special to our veterans and bring awareness in our community and the Fox Valley Technical College community that this is something we care about and something we do to honor our veterans.” After speaking at the luncheon, Lang greeted attendees and shared in the celebration.

That evening, Lang took his one man show to the stage, moving audiences through his incredible performance and the amazing stories of each of the eight Medal of Honor recipients from World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Chris McKeithan attended both the luncheon and the evening performance. A veteran himself, he played an active role in Fox Valley Technical College’s veterans’ group.

“I would say I went into the show not expecting anything and I came out very full-hearted. I saw many veterans and members of our community sit down in the same theater and watch an actor like Stephen Lang personify multiple veterans without skipping a beat, without leaving stage,” said McKeithan.

“There were tears and laughter and crying just all over the place. It was amazing.”

After the show, Lang spent time in the lobby greeting audience members, including several veterans, and posing for photos.

Partnerships make a difference The Community First Community Engagement Series is impactful thanks in large part to partner organizations that help to create one-of-a-kind experiences.

This season, the Fox Cities P.A.C. partnered with more than 20 organizations to provide everything from preshow activities to dance workshops with professionals, engagements designed for educators to programs designed for underserved youth.

We couldn’t have done it alone.

Aerial Dance was one unique partnership that was new this year. The group helped to create an engaging experience before B — The Underwater Bubble Show as they worked with students on interpreting music through art, both by identifying memories, creating a piece of artwork and then discovering together how movement can show emotion.

“When kids first came in many were hesitant to join the group and actually participate. As they watched from the side they found their courage and when we switched to the next activity they chose to join,” explained Paula Brusky, Aerial Dance participant. “We really hope the students got excited about the different ways music can be experienced and now listen to songs thinking about visual, words and movement!”

The Center also had a unique partnership with Building for Kids’ SPARK! program for people with memory loss and their loved ones, bringing music and memories to life in time for a performance by Dick Fox’s Golden Boys starring Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell, this spring.

“Through this multi-part program spanning the Building for Kids and the Fox Cities P.A.C., our participants explored and shared music of their youth with their family and friends. This unique partnership created new creative engagement opportunities as well as a powerful opportunity to empower these individuals,” said Director of Community Engagement at the Building for Kids Oliver Zornow. “Participants were proud of the opportunity to display their artwork in the lobby of the Fox Cities P.A.C. for a sold-out crowd and, donate that piece of artwork to be auctioned off at a fundraising event for the Alzheimer’s Association. At its core SPARK! is about connecting individuals living with memory loss and their families with each other and the community. Their journey is typically one of isolation — by connecting with organizations like the Fox Cities P.A.C. we can work towards building a more dementia-inclusive community.”
