PROFILE

AUGUST WILSON’S AUGUST WILSON All About

August Wilson, who wrote our upcoming production of Fences, is one of the most revered contemporary playwrights, and for good reason. His groundbreaking American Century Cycle encompasses ten plays chronicling the African-American experience in the 20th century, each set in a different decade. Two won Pulitzer Prizes for Drama, including Fences. The entire American Century Cycle has been produced only a handful of times, including at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, directed by the late Israel Hicks.

Wilson used his childhood in Pittsburgh as the basis for his writing. During the early part of his childhood, Wilson lived in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, an economically depressed neighborhood. When his mother divorced his father and remarried, Wilson moved to a predominantly white workingclass neighborhood where he experienced bouts of racism that would later inform his work. Wilson cofounded Black Horizons Theatre in Pittsburgh in the late 1960s; he began to direct plays there despite not having any directorial experience. While his early writing focused on poetry, he didn’t begin to work on playwrighting until he moved to Minnesota in the late ‘70s; he wrote his first play, Jitney, in 1979.

14

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

During the 1980s, Lloyd Richards, the artistic director of Yale Repertory Theatre, recognized Wilson’s talent, and he helped Wilson nurture and refine the plays in the American Century Cycle. In 1987, Fences was produced on Broadway, earning Wilson a Tony Award and his first Pulitzer Prize. Three years later, The Piano Lesson earned him his second Pulitzer.

Wilson had a clear vision about how his work should be produced. He famously refused to give the rights to make Fences into a film unless a black director was chosen; he believed that because the film was written from the African-American perspective, a white person would not be able to accurately reflect its intent. It took nearly thirty years for Fences to be filmed, with Denzel Washington directing and starring; the film earned numerous awards and received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay. Wilson’s estate continues to be strict in its allowance of the rights to his plays, with a rigorous request process.

Along the same lines, Wilson ignited an industry-wide controversy when he said that he believed “colorblind” casting in the theatre was nonsense, because plays written for white actors focused on the

AUGUST WILSON’S white experience, and plays written for African-American actors were written for the black experience. While Wilson didn’t live to see the Academy Award-winning version of Fences¸ nor any of the Tony Award-winning revivals of his plays on Broadway, his eloquent, lyrical plays have taken their place in the pantheon of great American writing.

Perhaps playwright Tony Kushner summed up Wilson’s importance the best when, upon Wilson’s death, he said, “The playwright’s voice in American culture is perceived as having been usurped by television and film, but he reasserted the power of drama to describe large social forces, to explore the meaning of an entire people’s experience in American history.

For all the magic in his plays, he was writing in the grand tradition of Eugene O’Neill and Arthur Miller, the politically engaged, direct, social realist drama. He was reclaiming ground for the theater that most people thought had been abandoned.”

Grammy Award Winners

SFJAZZ COLLECTIVE Seeing the SFJAZZ Collective perform is the chance to see masters at work, on a few levels. First, the members are contemporary jazz super-stars in their own right, with multiple Grammy awards and nominations.

Combined, they form a supergroup, the likes of which are rarely seen. The icing on the cake? In addition to performing their own compositions, they also honor a jazz master, with new arrangements of familiar pieces.

When the SFJAZZ Collective performs in Lone Tree this April, they will be honoring the one and only Miles Davis—the king of cool. Davis transformed the world of jazz in the late 40s/early 50s with his album Birth of Cool, which was the start of experimentation and the development

of new kinds of jazz music. The SFJAZZ Collective explores Davis’ music with new interpretations of his most famous compositions, including “So What,” “Tutu,” “Milestones,” and “Bitches Brew.”

In addition, we’ll hear new compositions by members of the SFJAZZ Collective inspired by Davis, including pieces by alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon, vibraphonist Warren Wolf, trombonist Robin Eubanks, and tenor saxophonist David Sanchez.

Classic Albums Live Performs: Fleetwood Mac: Rumours Saturday, May 5 at 8pm Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage—note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. “Think of it as a recital,” says Martin. “These albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music. “We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume. We just stand there and play. All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album,” says Martin.

With over a hundred shows a year across North America, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success in performing arts centers and theatres. Fans in Texas, Las Vegas, Florida, New York, and central and east coast Canada have all continued to support the series and make it a sustaining, successful show. “We grew while others withdrew,” says Martin, commenting on the decline of concert ticket sales. “We created something that endures and connects. These albums are sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote— ‘note for note, cut for cut’ accuracy.” It’s this type of accountability that works for the series.

ABOUT FLEETWOOD MAC’S RUMOURS FROM FOUNDER AND MUSIC DIRECTOR, CRAIG MARTIN: The very first track of the album, “Second Hand News,” lets you know that heartache awaits. Fleetwood Mac were the first ones to genuinely sing about the emotion and turmoil that comes from losing love. It’s not easy to confront ones vulnerabilities and then credibly put them to song. This was therapy for them. And it paid great.

Rumours is the hardest album for Classic Albums Live to perform.

That’s quite a statement. The arrangements aren’t that hard and the vocals don’t take off for crazy heights. But the sound, the feel, the absolute vibe of the album is tough to recreate. I wanted the band to move into a three bedroom house for a month to prepare for the album. But that didn’t fly, so we opted for a heavy amount of vocal rehearsal and many, many full band rehearsals. Everyone can rest now.

We got it. We finally know how to perform this album.

I want the floorboards of the Lone Tree Arts Center to moan along with us on this album. I’d love to see the ushers singing along. Everyone in the audience has owned a format of this album. If ever there was a definition of a classic album—Rumours is it. Classic Albums Live is the modern day symphony. And we love you when we’re playing.

Solo Piano with Stacey Rose Saturday, May 12 at 8pm On a snowy, blistery night in January of 1967, Micky and Louann Miller brought their five-year-old daughter, Stacey, to hear the Denver Symphony Orchestra. That same summer, when the Colorado wild flowers were in full bloom, the couple presented their daughter with a pair of “clutter boots” and introduced her to hiking. The footwear was exquisite: soft brown leather, the color of the soil from the Rockies, with red laces like Indian Paintbrush flowers. Their luster faded, however, as the precocious child quickly determined that hiking is a punitive activity. But then… through the sparkling sun-drenched leaves, sounds emanated from under the tent of the Aspen Music Festival. All discomfort vanished. Hands seemed to be dancing up and down the keyboard, somehow creating unimaginable beauty. Listening in awe to the legendary pianist, Alicia de Larrocha, a 4’10” titan of the piano, Stacey knew then that she must aspire to become a concert pianist.

Since graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School, Stanford University, and the Mannes School of Music, Stacey has been fortunate to enjoy a performance career as a guest soloist with orchestras and in recital on all seven continents. As a composer, she has to her credit works for solo piano, songs for voice and piano, a concerto for piano and orchestra (that she performed with Colorado’s National Repertory Orchestra and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra), “Music Stories for Children Ages 5-105,” a musical drama in progress, and tonight’s repertoire—her interpretations of three traditional musical forms as well as her paraphrases of well-known American standards.

Sponsored by

Notable performances have included three recitals at Weill Recital Hall of Carnegie Hall, Gracie Mansion, the Masters Series in St. Catherine’s, Canada, Five Burroughs Festival, and Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes. A Steinway Artist since 1992, Stacey takes tremendous pride and joy in sharing her love of music.

PROGRAM

(Recent original compositions) *In performances of Classical music, it has become customary for the audience to hold applause until the end of compositions that contain multiple sections or movements. This is so that the work can be heard as a continuous whole, as the composer likely intended. But if you feel compelled to clap before the end, please don’t be inhibited to do so! **Listening to unfamiliar music is demanding a lot from our strongly-shaped tastes and sensibilities. I ask that you try to listen with openness; that you let this music take your thoughts and experience wherever it may.

American Suite in A Major This piece replicates the structure of 14th century suites. The standard seven movements are modeled after courtly dances of the time. While they share a common key signature, they contrast greatly in character and tempo.

Preludia—Introduction Courante—Meaning “running” in Italian, a spritely dance that was fashionable in 16th century aristocratic ballrooms Sarabande—A slow, stately dance containing four distinct linear voices with the atypical accent on the second beat.

Its slowness promoted close physical contact so it was considered a disreputable dance form of the time Gavotte—A French folk dance in a moderate tempo. Kissing at a pause in the music was amidst the formal courtly gestures, but was later replaced by the presentation of flowers Minuet & Trio—A social dance of controlled, ceremonious, and graceful small steps with two sections of contrasting mood Air—A song–like lyrical piece derived from the Italian aria Gigue—Originating in Britain and Ireland, this is a brisk and lively dance featuring a running melodic passage overlaying a rhythmic bass line

Five Études Meaning “studies” in French, études were composed in the 19th century as a musical means of developing technical acumen. Études were meant to accomplish the same goals as pedantic exercises while providing more pleasant listening for all inhabitants of a student’s household. The form is comprised of a central theme separated by a contrasting inner section. Each study focuses on a particular technical challenge of the instrument.

1. A Waltz in Time 2. Jelly Fish 3. Traffic 4. Streams 5. Schpilkes (Yiddish word for agitation or restlessness) INTERMISSION Two Preludes & Fugues Modeled after the structure of the 24 Preludes and Fugues of J.S. Bach.

Nature Roars Back With Cinematographer Bob Poole Friday, May 18 at 10am and 8pm Bob Poole grew up in East Africa, where his father was the director of the Peace Corps, and later the director of the African Wildlife Foundation. His family spent much of their time with the abundant wildlife that thrived there during the 1960s and 1970s. Poole’s unique upbringing gave him an appreciation and curiosity of the natural world, a highly adventurous spirit, and a strong sense of self-reliance.

Bob’s relationship with National Geographic began when he was a teenager working with a crew who had come to Kenya to film elephants. After completing a university degree in science, Bob traveled the world as a camera assistant before landing his first assignment as a cinematographer for National Geographic. The film Coming of Age with Elephants was about his sister, Dr. Joyce Poole, the renowned elephant zoologist.

Sponsored by

Now an Emmy Award-winning director of photography, Bob films both people and wildlife and has made a career in front of the camera as well. His extensive credit list includes documentaries for PBS, NATURE, NOVA, BBC, over 30 films for Discovery Networks, and an additional 35-plus films for National Geographic Television. Bob works around the world and his passion for wildlife conservation has taken him to some of the African continent’s most remote locations.

Whether tracking elephants in extreme desert environments of Mali, following wildebeest across the Serengeti, or traveling road-less regions of war-torn Sudan, Poole’s lifetime experience, and unfailing tenacity, help him to capture remarkable moments. For this, he won an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Cinematography while working on the series Great Migrations for National Geographic.

Working on the other side of the camera, Bob is the main character in a National Geographic film, War Elephants, which premiered in March of 2012. The film was nominated for an Emmy: Best Nature Program 2013, was a Finalist at Jackson Hole for Best People and Nature Program, and won Best Documentary at the Sun Valley Film Festival. Bob spent two and a half years working on Gorongosa Park: Rebirth of Paradise, a six-hour primetime series for PBS and National Geographic International, which premiered September 22, 2015.

He is the presenter, narrator, and wildlife cameraman for the series.

In 2015, he spent three months following and filming a family group of elephants for a National Geographic film called Little Giant and worked as a “Cameraman in Vision” on a new BBC One series.

Currently Bob is on tour with National Geographic Live speaking in cities across the world.

Bob sits on the board of the Gorongosa Restoration Project, is a Fellow with the Explorers Club and a member of National Geographic Speaker’s Bureau.

MANDY GONZALEZ Straight from Broadway’s Hamilton, Mandy Gonzalez is returning to LTAC for a solo concert, after her appearance alongside Marcus Paul James, Robin de Jesús, and Adam Pascal in 2014’s concert Seasons of Broadway. Taking a break from starring as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, Mandy brings her show “Raise the Roof” to the Arts Center on Sunday, March 18.

Mandy and her powerhouse voice debuted on Broadway alongside the legendary Michael Crawford in Jim Steinman’s Dance of the Vampires, but the role that she is probably best known for is Nina Rosario in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In The Heights. She created the role in the original Broadway production and was with the company until January 2010. She’s also starred on Broadway in Wicked as Elphaba, where she brought down the house each night with “Defying Gravity.” She took over her current role of Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton

Even if you don’t make it to the Great White Way as much as you’d like, you still would recognize Mandy. She’s also known for her television work, most recently as Lucy Knox on Madam Secretary and Agent Susan Coombs on Quantico. She’s also appeared in White Collar, The Good Wife, and the feature film Across the Universe.

After experiencing Mandy’s dynamic vocals, capable of making you cry and sending shivers down your spine all in one song, you’ll no doubt want to become a member of her #FearlessSquad, a group of fans that got their name from her album.

We are proud and humbled to be singled out as leading advocates in Colorado Family Law, both by our peers and our clients.

You'll see our lawyers featured prominently in all ratings of lawyers that can't be bought. We receive honors from our peers all the time.

But our greatest honor? Our clients are grateful for our tireless, and thoughtful counsel, advocacy, judgment and discretion.

DONOR PROFILE

Even before the Arts Center opened, the LTAC Guild was ready to help. Donating time and resources, this group of motivated women and men work behind the scenes to fundraise and bring awareness about LTAC. One of the most important ways they support LTAC is by underwriting children’s access to theater by providing ticket fees and bus fees for hundreds of students to attend live theater at LTAC. It’s exciting to see their faces light up when an actor comes on the stage—and the Guild makes that happen! The Guild also uses its fundraising reach for other projects at LTAC, such as providing booster seats for

children in the Main Stage Theater and paying for the installation of a permanent bar in the Terrace Theater. This dynamic group works hard year-round with fundraisers, including an opening night Gala and spring fashion show. They also host events and “friend-raisers” with behind-thescenes tours and other unique activities. The Guild’s annual holiday community tradition of a tree lighting Holiday Kick-Off has now become part of the new City of Lone Tree Merry Days. Sound like too much fun to miss? Join this dynamic group today by visiting lonetreeartscenterguild.org.
