Introducing Kids to Theater Through

STUDENT MATINEES Each school year, Lone Tree Arts Center welcomes 4,000 or more children to student matinees. Their eagerness and happy chatter give it all away: They can’t wait to experience the wonder of live theater with classmates on a coveted field trip day!

Chances are, few of them give much thought to the volumes of educational research that suggests students gain lasting benefits—such as enhanced creative thinking, problem-solving, and civic engagement—when they experience arts and culture.1 But the team at the Arts Center knows the importance of introducing children to the arts as part of

a well-rounded education. That is why in 2012, just months after opening our doors, a student matinee program took shape, and it filled a need in the south metro area for professional performances that make learning center stage.

Today, the Arts Center is known for presenting first-class local and national touring productions that are low-cost, accessible to all students, and unique in our region. Up to 45 elementary and secondary schools from across the Denver area attend matinee performances in our Main Stage Theater each September through May. “We look forward to matinee days when busloads of students arrive at our front

STUDENT PROGRAMMING door,” explains Lisa Rigsby Peterson, the Arts Center’s executive director. “I think our staff and volunteers get as excited as the students, knowing that we have wonderful performances to share in our theater!”

So far, nearly 25,000 students representing the seven-county metro area have visited the Arts Center to enjoy top-notch shows that weave together artistry and curriculum. Themes such as science, health, dance, music, and classic literature come to life through drama, storytelling, humor, and interactivity. Most performances include “talk-backs” where performers and presenters engage with the students after the show.

In the 2017–18 season, elementary students will be in for electrifying, hilarious, and transformative moments with Doktor Kaboom!; My Father’s Dragon; Click Clack Moo; Flight School: The Musical; and Butterflies. Older students will be captivated by first-person stories of space

more than students can afford to pay.

Through corporate partnerships and philanthropic support, including grants from Xcel Energy Foundation and U.S. Bank Foundation, we offer free or reduced admission so that cost is never a barrier for students to have a theater outing at the Arts Center. In addition, the Lone Tree Arts Center Guild has provided more than 1,200 scholarships since 2015 for students to attend performances.

“The arts open new worlds to young people,” shares Linda Castaneda, who chairs the Guild’s education committee. “Seeing wonder and joy on their faces and hearing them laugh is the reason we work so hard to sponsor as many students as we can.”

The Arts Center has launched a unique outreach program for Title 1 schools in underserved communities. Besides helping with admission scholarships and reimbursing schools for bus transportation, a team of Arts Center staff and volunteer ambassadors make classroom visits a few weeks before the field trips. Ambassadors extend welcome, engage students in a learning activity, and help them get excited about their first visit to our venue.

Jeannine Madden, an Arts Center volunteer and one of our first school Ambassadors sees first-hand how this outreach is making a significant and memorable impact on the lives of students. “Not only do the children get to enjoy a stellar production, but they get to do so at a place that truly welcomes and wants them to be here!” she explains.

“Hopefully, these experiences will inspire them to explore arts and culture as they grow.”

A childhood in East Africa gave Emmy Awardwinning cinematographer Bob Poole a fierce curiosity about the natural world as well as an adventurous spirit. Now, for a new, 6-part PBS/ Nat Geo International series, Bob is drawing on that experience to document the rebirth of a lost Eden: Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, a jewel of Africa’s parks system until civil war almost destroyed it. There, he joined forces with rangers and scientists (including his sister, renowned elephant researcher Joyce Poole), on perhaps the biggest conservation project on the planet—and learned that the wild places we’ve broken can be put back together.

An Evening with Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge Wednesday, October 18 at 7:30pm Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge: Mount Royal On Mount Royal, their second album together, Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge craft songs that sound familiar but are never easily classified. Percolating with tinges of bluegrass and folk, insinuations of jazz and pop, hints of classical and avant garde composition, the album rarely settles into any one particular category; rather, it dances around the territory between genres, never announcing its innovations and prizing soulfulness above chops at every turn. From first note to last, the duo push themselves to find new ways to play their flat-top steel-string acoustic Martins together.

“Playing with Jules, it feels like anything is possible,” says Eldridge. “You have no constraints.

There’s just so much room to move around. It’s like playing in a sandbox, which really opens you up to being more creative.” Adds Lage: “Our rapport is based on the idea that we’re researchers studying this idea of what two acoustic guitars can do together, how you can integrate that into instrumental songwriting and how you can reconcile that with vocal music.

Our collaboration is like a big research project that’s been going on for years.”

Lage is a renowned jazz guitarist who has collaborated with a range of musicians—Nels Cline, Gary Burton, and Fred Hersch, to name a few. According to the New Yorker, he belongs “in the highest category of improvising musicians, those who can enact thoughts and impulses as they receive them.” Eldridge is a veteran of the bluegrass world, cutting his teeth in the legendary outfits the Seldom Scene and the Infamous Stringdusters before anchoring Punch Brothers, an acoustic supergroup that combines folk instrumentation with pop and experimental songcraft. When they play together, however, they do not represent the genres or styles with which they have long been identified. “It’s not the United Nations,” laughs Lage.

“It’s not like I’m the jazz representative and he’s the bluegrass representative. We couldn’t care less about that.” Instead, they make music simply as friends and individuals who happen to have unique ideas and techniques.

After meeting and jamming backstage at a Punch Brothers show, the two became fast friends and eventually started playing shows together. Their chemistry was undeniable, each pulling the other out of his comfort zone. “Bluegrass can be very empirical,” says Eldridge. “Things

can be right or wrong. But that’s not the way it works with us. It’s all about ‘yes and…’ which is an improv comedy technique. No matter what someone says, you say, ‘yes and…’ and you build on that. You move forward.” In 2013 they released an EP of original songs, followed quickly by their debut album, Avalon, which was modeled after their live shows. “It’s a sophisticated guitar LP that doesn’t sound sophisticated,” Pitchfork gushed, “an effort that folds its intense erudition deep beneath its lovely surface.”

For Mount Royal, they wanted to do something different—something less grounded in their live show, something more exploratory and innovative. “These songs are experiments,” says Lage. “They are things we maybe always wanted to hear but hadn’t heard done yet. So we did them ourselves. We made this record for ourselves.” Those experiments were rooted in the songwriting process, during which they gave each other prompts and exercises. Each would sequester himself alone in a room with maybe an hour to brainstorm a handful of songs, armed only with a pre-war Martin acoustic—Lage’s 1939 000-18 and Eldridge’s 1937 D-18.

“There was a lot of wide-open creativity,” says Eldridge. “We would put ourselves under a lot of pressure, which can really force things out of you that might not emerge if you had time to belabor it.” They would share the results with each other, toying around with good ideas and jettisoning scraps of melody that led nowhere. Says Lage: “We would improvise an idea for thirty minutes, record that, and see how we could intuitively develop the material. Then we would sleep on it and see if it worked the next day. A lot of stuff didn’t work.”

But a lot of stuff did work. Scraps of melody or rhythm blossomed into intricate and disarmingly beautiful songs, leading the duo in directions they never would have gone by themselves. On “Bone Collector,” the steadiness of Eldridge’s tight, staccato strumming provides the propulsion for Lage’s pointillist fretwork, while the epic “Everything Must Go” hinges on a rushing fanfare that comes out of nowhere to transform the song. Their guitars sound like pianos on “Lion’s Share,” which Lage describes as an “excuse for us to inhabit a space that’s very constant, very melodic, and a little bit weird.”

Most of Mount Royal is instrumental, just two guitars traipsing across new territory, but three vocal tracks—all covers, all sung by Eldridge—made their way onto the album. Their interpretation of the bluegrass chestnut “Things in Life” is spirited and vigorous, as is the duo’s take on the motor-mouthed John Hartford obscurity “Mississippi Valley.” Perhaps the most surprising cover is “Sleeping By Myself,” which Lage discovered on Eddie Vedder’s 2011 album Ukulele Songs. “We needed something outside of the traditional acoustic vocabulary to feature his voice in a very specific way,” says Lage, “so we looked outside the traditional world.”

Eldridge admits he was initially dubious: “My first thought was, ‘A ukulele record? By Eddie Vedder? Hmm….’ But it’s an amazing record. And that song sounds like something from the Great American Songbook.” As he laments an empty bed and a lonely night, the two guitars collapse into what sounds like only one, reinforcing the romantic seclusion of the lyric and spotlighting Eldridge’s quietly affecting vocals.

Ultimately, every note and every melody, every riff and rhythm on Mount Royal serves the song. In that regard the album sounds ascetic yet lush, modest yet incredibly accomplished, experimental but focused on something beyond the players themselves. It’s an approach that has given them a new understanding of their chosen instruments: “A guitar can be like an orchestra,” says Eldridge. “It really is a polyphonic instrument. It can be percussive or lyrical.

Exploring those ideas with Jules, it really felt like the opportunity for expression and exploration was infinite.”

Adds Lage: “We came at it with the idea, ‘what skills can these songs teach us that we wouldn’t have learned otherwise?’ To share that experience with someone you love as a friend is a great privilege.”

View from Above With Astronaut Terry Virts Friday, October 20 at 10am and 8pm

Sponsored by:

Terry Virts knew he wanted to be an astronaut as a kindergartener reading his first book about the Apollo missions while growing up in Columbia, Maryland. He excelled in school, graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1989, and earned a Master of Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle. Terry was commissioned as an officer in the USAF and earned his pilot wings. After being stationed in Florida, Georgia, South Korea and in Germany, Terry was selected for Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California. He has logged over 5,300 flight hours in more than 40 different aircrafts including the F-16 “Viper” and the Space Shuttle.

In 2000, Terry was selected as an astronaut by NASA. On February 8, 2010 he made his first spaceflight as pilot of the Space Shuttle Endeavour during STS-130—the mission to deliver the now famous Cupola, which provides astronauts with a 360° view of the International Space Station (ISS) and our planet. After two weeks in space, he returned to Earth on February 22, 2010. As a part of NASA’s leadership training, Terry attended Harvard Business School in the fall of 2011 and completed the General Management Program.

On November 23, 2014, Terry launched on board Soyuz TMA-15M from Baikonur, Kazakhstan to the ISS. In March of the following year, Terry assumed command of the ISS as Commander of Expedition 43. Terry spent 200 days in space on his Expedition 42/43 flight, which is the fourth longest continuous NASA space mission. He is also one of only four astronauts ever to have piloted a space shuttle, flown on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, performed space walks, and Commanded the ISS. Terry is very active on social media with more than half a million followers on Twitter and Instagram. One of his most memorable tweets was on February 28, 2015 following the death of beloved Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed Spock. Terry tweeted an image of the Vulcan salute—“Live long and prosper”—from the Cupola as the ISS flew over Boston, the city of Nimoy’s birth. From the Cupola, Terry also explored his other calling, photography.

He has a unique perspective about the earth, having taken more photos from space than any other astronaut.

Terry is one of the stars of the IMAX film, A Beautiful Planet. Released in April, 2016, it is a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space, providing an increased understanding of our planet and galaxy as never seen before. Made in cooperation with NASA, the film features stunning footage—much of it shot by Terry while aboard (and outside) the ISS—of our magnificent blue planet, the heavens, and the effects humanity has had on our environment.

His book View From Above was released on October 3, 2017. This National Geographic sponsored work will feature the best of Terry’s photographs along with his stories from space, reproducing the experiences of spaceflight in book format.

Terry is fluent in Russian and French, and is also a cinematographer and certified drone pilot.

He looks forward to the next step in his journey—sharing with people in all corners of the world the unique stories, perspectives and insights of a pilot, astronaut, author, and photographer.

Take Me To The River: Memphis Soul and Rhythm & Blues Revue Featuring William Bell, Charlie Musselwhite, and Bobby Rush

Friday, October 27 at 8pm

Take Me to the River: Memphis Soul and Rhythm & Blues Revue presents a live performance experience based on the award-winning film by Martin Shore and record that brought together multiple generations of iconic Memphis and Mississippi Delta musicians to record a historic new album and re-imagine the utopia of racial, gender and generational collaboration of Memphis (Stax, Hi Records) in its heyday. This historic show features a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see legends William Bell (2017 Grammy Winner), Bobby Rush (2017 Grammy winner), and Charlie Musselwhite (Memphis music legend) share the stage and perform classics and new TMTTR collaborations.

Backed by an ALL-STAR Memphis band, the event includes the Hi-Rhythm Section (27 Gold and Platinum records, all of Al Green’s classics), award-winning director and Grammy nominee Martin Shore, alumni from the STAX Music Academy, and special appearances from Academy Award-Winner Frayser Boy and Critics Choice Award winner Al Kapone.

In addition to a traditional performance event, Take Me To The River hosts educational workshops and activities as it moves around the country, interacting with students and helping to inspire the goals of social consciousness and community building through its non profit, Take Me To The River Education Initiative (www.takemetotheriver.org). TMTTR believes that the power of positive expression—through music, film, or other art forms—builds a permanent foundation of community, and helps motivate those from all political, racial, and generational backgrounds to communicate, cooperate, collaborate, and create together.

William Bell: Soul singer, songwriter, and producer William Bell was instrumental in shaping the sound of Stax Records.

Bell recorded his first sides as a member of the group the Del Rios. In 1961, he made his solo recording debut with the classic single, “You Don’t Miss Your Water,” which became one of the fledgling label’s first major hits.

After a two-year stint in the Armed Forces, William released his first full-length album in 1967, the classic The Soul of a Bell, which included the Top 20 hit single, “Everybody Loves a Winner.” That same year, blues great Albert King recorded what came to be his signature tune, “Born Under a Bad Sign,” also written by Bell, which has since become one of the mostrecorded blues songs.

Among his other classic hits at Stax were “Any Other Way,” “Never Like This Before,” “A Tribute to a King” (William’s personal tribute to Stax legend Otis Redding), “I Forgot to be Your Lover,” his internationally-acclaimed duet with Judy Clay, “Private Number,” and the perennial Christmas music favorite, “Every Day Will Be Like a Holiday.”

As a performer, he is probably best known for 1961’s “You Don’t Miss Your Water” (covered

by The Byrds and Taj Mahal), 1968’s “Private Number,” and “Tryin’ to Love Two,” Bell’s only Top 40 hit, which also hit #1 on the R&B charts. Upon the death of Otis Redding, Bell released the well-received memorial song “A Tribute to a King.”

As a songwriter, Bell co-authored the Chuck Jackson hit “Any Other Way” (a cover of Bell’s original recording), and “I Forgot to Be Your Lover” (covered by Billy Idol in his 1986 hit “To Be a Lover”). It has since been sampled by Ludacris (on Growing Pains) and Jaheim (on Put That Woman First), among many other artists.

Bell’s other recordings include “Tryin’ to Love Two,” “I Don’t Want to Wake Up Feeling Guilty,” and “Headline News.”

Charlie Musselwhite: Mississippi-born Charlie Musselwhite is an electric blues harmonica player, singer, and bandleader, and one of the most revered musicians in the world. He has won countless awards during his career including induction into the Blues Hall of Fame and collaborated with innumerable musical giants of the past fifty years including John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, Tom Waits, and Eddie Vedder.

Musselwhite has received ten Grammy nominations, winning for Get Up! (2013, released by the recently revived Stax label), a collaboration with Ben Harper. He has also won 14 W.C. Handy Awards, 27 Blues Music Awards, and Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Monterey Blues Festival, among many other honors. Musselwhite was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2010.

Moving to Chicago in the early ‘60s, he recorded Stand Back! Here Comes Charlie Musselwhite’s Southside Band, in 1966 at age 22. The following year, Musselwhite moved to San Francisco. Since then he has recorded more than 20 albums.

Over the years, Musselwhite has branched out in style. His 1999 recording, Continental Drifter, is accompanied by Cuarteto Patria, from Cuba’s Santiago region, the Cuban music analog of the Mississippi Delta. For the first half of 2011, Musselwhite toured with the acoustic-electric blues band Hot Tuna. In the latter half of 2011, he went on tour with Cyndi Lauper. His latest record is Juke Joint Chapel (2013).

Bobby Rush: is a blues musician, composer, and singer. His style incorporates elements of blues, funk and rap. Born in Homer, Louisiana, he moved with his family to Arkansas, where he formed a band with Elmore James. In the 1970s his song “Chicken Heads,” which he wrote as

well as sang, made it to the R&B charts. He next recorded his first album, Rush Hour, with one track, “I Wanna Do the Do”, also charting in 1979.

In the early 1980s, Rush moved to Jackson, Mississippi, where he recorded a series of records for various labels, including his own Deep Rush label. FolkFunk (2004) was a return to rootsier sound, featuring guitarist Alvin Youngblood Hart. He appeared in the film The Road to Memphis part of the series “The Blues,” produced by Martin Scorsese.

Rush received recognition for his music after the release of his 22nd album, Rush, when he was awarded Best Male Soul Blues Artist at the Blues Music Awards. He also won Best Acoustic Artist and Best Acoustic Album for his album Raw. His album Hoochie Mama was nominated for a Grammy in the Blues Music Section in 2000. His most recent albums are Show You a Good Time and Down In Louisiana.

In 2013, Rush was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the Soul Blues Male Artist category.

In 2014, Rush’s album Down In Louisiana won a Blues Music Award in the Soul Blues Album of the Year category, and Rush was also nominated in two other categories.

Martin Shore (Director/Producer/Writer) began his entertainment career at fourteen as a PA for his brother’s award winning 1977 film Punking Out. As a musician Mr. Shore has toured with Bo Diddley, Albert Collins, Bluesman Willie, and many others. He has produced soundtracks and has acted as music supervisor for a number of feature films, including Saw, Saw II, Rize, and Rock School, among others. He has been a music producer for a variety of artists, including Yo Gotti, Mavis Staples, Booker T. Jones, North Mississippi Allstars, and many others.

As a feature film producer, Shore’s films have been featured in many international film festivals around the world, including Cannes, Tribeca, Sundance, South By Southwest, Raindance, and the Los Angeles Film Festival. A partial list of his credits as film producer include: Hood of Horror (2006), starring Snoop Dogg; Michael Cuesta’s Tell Tale (2009), starring Josh Lucas, and produced with Ridley and Tony Scott; Julie Delpy’s The Countess (2009), starring Delpy and William Hurt; 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010); and Dark Tide (2012), starring Halle Berry.

As a Grammy-nominated producer Mr. Shore has toured most recently with Cody Dickinson and his band Hill Country Revue. He is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Sciences (Grammy Awards) and the Producers Guild of America.

Shore recently partnered with Academy Award-winning visual pioneer John Gaeta to form Float Hybrid Entertainment, a “smart and sensor based” entertainment company founded in 2009. Float helped develop Kinect and was Microsoft’s only third party developer and now sits on the Kinect board at Microsoft. Float develops User Experience (UX) prototypes and Content (software) products for mobile devices, smart TV and connected platforms.

Hi Rhythm Section was the house band assembled by Willie Mitchell for his Royal Recording Studio in Memphis. The band included the three teenage Hodges brothers, Charles Hodges (organ), Leroy Hodges (bass), and the late Mabon “Teenie” Hodges(guitar), together with drummer Howard Grimes (or sometimes MGs drummer, the late Al Jackson, Jr.).

Many recordings also used The Memphis Horns (Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love), usually with Willie’s brother James Mitchell arranging, and Mitchell’s stepson, Archie Turner, as an additional keyboard player. By the mid-1970s, they had appeared on 27 gold and platinum albums, and countless chart hits for Al Green, Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson, Otis Clay, and others.

The Hodges brothers began playing together in their father’s band, the Germantown Blue Dots, in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Leroy Hodges then formed his own band, The Impalas, where he came into contact with Memphis trumpeter and bandleader Willie Mitchell.

Younger brother “Teenie,” then an aspiring bass player, was unofficially adopted by Mitchell in the mid-1960s, and became a member of his regular band, soon joined by Charles and Leroy.

The Hodges brothers, with Grimes, recorded the 1976 LP On the Loose as Hi Rhythm, and 1994 saw the release of Perfect Gentlemen, featuring a fourth Hodges, Fred (keyboards), as well as Percy Wiggins on vocals. The band dissolved after Hi Records was sold in 1977, but regrouped as a touring band in 1979. Through the 1980s and early 1990s, the Hodges brothers toured with Albert Collins and Otis Clay, and periodically regrouped with Grimes and Turner. Charles Hodges left in the 1990s to become an ordained church minister.

Other band members continued to play together, sometimes with Jackson’s cousin Steve Potts on percussion, providing their unique backdrops for Syl Johnson Back in the Game (1994), and the Willie Mitchell-produced Al Green comeback I Can’t Stop. They also toured with Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall), and were featured on her 2006 album The Greatest.

Frayser Boy (Cedric Coleman) is a rapper from Memphis. He won the Best Original Song Academy Award (shared with Three 6 Mafia members Juicy J and DJ Paul) for “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp,” from the movie Hustle & Flow (2005).

Frayser Boy began his career working in promotion for Three 6 Mafia’s Hypnotize Minds label, while working on his lyrical skills on the side. Three 6 were impressed and gave him a guest shot on La’ Chat’s 2001 album Murder She Spoke. Two years later, the Hypnotize Minds label released his solo, full-length debut, Gone on That Bay, the title of the hard-hitting album caused some confusion, as some thought “Bay” was a reference to the Bay Area and that Frayser Boy was West Coast. “Bay” is actually a nickname for the highest cocaine-trafficking area of Memphis and the sound of the album was tough Dirty South. He followed with two more albums for Hypnotize Minds, Me Being Me (2005) and Da Key (2008), after which he signed to Lil Wyte’s label Wyte Music, where he teamed with rapper Partee on the mixtape The First 48 in 2012. This year, Frayser Boy released B.A.R. (Bay Area Representatives), a project with Lil Wyte that was ten years in the making.

Al Kapone (Alphonzo Bailey) is an American rapper from Memphis. Kapone is known principally for his underground success in the Memphis hip hop scene in the 1990s. He began to achieve mainstream success with his role on the soundtrack for the film Hustle & Flow (2005). The soundtrack included one solo track, titled “Get Crunk, Get Buck.” He also wrote and produced “Whoop That Trick” and wrote “Hustle & Flow (It Ain’t Over),” both of which were performed by Three 6 Mafia’s Djay Paul. His song, “The Deepest Hood,” was featured in the 2007 film, Stomp the Yard.

His albums include Street Knowledge, Chapters 1-12, Sinista Funk, Pure Ghetto Anger, Da Resurrection, What Cha Got, Memphis to the Bomb Out Bay, Alkatraz Ridaz Chapter 2, Memphis Drama Vol. 2, Memphis Drama Vol. 3: Outta Town Luv, Showdown, Goin’ All Out, Poppin Tags (EP), Al Kapeezy Oh Boy - The Hits!!, Showdown: Reloaded, Godfather EP, Guitar Bump, and The Kapeezy Soul Hop Experience.

December 7–17

There’s No Place Like

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS And we invite you into our home this season!

We’ve got plenty of offerings for every taste, from nostalgia to choral music to Celtic sounds to a country favorite, so you won’t want to miss celebrating the holidays here at the Arts Center.

We start with Home for the Holidays, an exciting and heartwarming variety show that’s back by popular demand. We produced the popular production for three years, and then decided to offer other holiday-themed theatrical productions for the past two years. During that time, though, we heard you loud and clear: you missed Home for the Holidays. Produced in association with Chris Starkey, this year’s remount is directed

by Kenny Moten, whom you’ve seen in prior productions of Home for the Holidays, as well as The Motones and Motones vs. Jerseys. Kenny has teamed up with choreographer Tara Cluck and musical director Trent Hines to refresh the production, replete with dancers, singers,

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

drummers, holiday songs, and of course, a celebrity appearance from you know who!

This year’s theme is holidays through the years, so you’re sure to hear your favorite holiday songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s up through today.

Don’t miss this joyous celebration of the season!

If you’re looking for more of a particular type of holiday music, you’re also in luck. Last year’s performance of holiday choral music by Kantorei sold out—so we’re bringing them back for more. It’s been a year and a half since Cherish the Ladies were at the Arts Center, and since everyone loved them so much, we wanted to showcase them with a special Christmas performance. And… what would Christmas be without everyone’s favorite cowboy, Michael Martin Murphey?

The lights will shine bright at the Lone Tree Arts Center this holiday season. We hope you’ll include us in your holiday plans!

HENRY AWARDS

Lone Tree Arts Center Wins at the Colorado Theatre Guild’s

HENRY AWARDS

28

The Lone Tree Arts Center was honored at the 11th Annual Colorado Theatre Guild’s Henry Awards on Monday, July 17 at the PACE Center.

The awards, named after Denver cultural icon Henry Lowenstein, are given in a variety of categories each year to call out excellence in Colorado theatre.

EVITA brought us three Henrys. First, our very own Jen Kiser won the Henry Award for Outstanding Lighting Design Tier 2. The musical director for EVITA, Max Mamon, won the Henry for Outstanding Musical Direction. And the production of EVITA itself won the award for Outstanding Production of a Musical.

Early in the summer, the Arts Center was nominated for 13 awards, which is incredible given that we have only been producing our own theatrical shows for four years. This year, productions of Muscle Shoals: I’ll Take You There and EVITA, were nominated in lighting, musical direction, acting, direction of a musical theater production, and outstanding production categories. Several categories had nominations for both productions! The Arts Center itself was also nominated for Best Theatre Season.

We’re proud to be honored through the Henrys, and we want to thank you, our patrons, for helping us make remarkable programming happen!
