THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE

In April, LTAC is taking on a challenge like nothing we’ve quite tackled before—we’re producing a fully-staged, big name musical. EVITA, with music

by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, is the story of Eva Perón, one of Argentina’s most controversial First Ladies. It’s our biggest endeavor to date and we’ve put together an all-star team to make it happen.

EVITA opened in London’s West End in 1978 and the show follows Eva Perón throughout her life, from her humble beginnings to her rise to power and through the upper echelons of society.

Just recently, there were revivals of the show in both London and New York. There was also a film version of the musical, starring Madonna, Jonathan Pryce, and Antonio Banderas in 1996.

The film version is how our director, Gina Rattan, came to know the musical. But her interest in the story of EVITA wasn’t just a passing fancy— it ignited a passion for the story of Argentina’s former First Lady. So much so, that Gina traveled to Buenos Aires to immerse herself in Eva’s world. Gina heard about our production of the show from her friend Ben Klein, an associate director on Broadway and the keynote speaker of our 2015 Sensory Friendly Summit, who put her in touch with our executive director, Lisa Rigsby Peterson. The rest, as they say, is history!

Gina has directed the second national tour of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, and been the associate director of the same show on Broadway, as well as being the associate director of Matilda the Musical on Broadway and NBC’s Peter Pan Live! Most recently, she directed Pace University’s production of another Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. Something that she enjoys about Webber’s musicals is that they’re complete stories—there isn’t a lot of exposition and you get to see everything play out on stage. The challenge that this presents for the creative team, of course, is how to make sure that they’re telling the fullest, clearest, most exciting version of the story as possible.

EVITA is one of Gina’s favorite shows and she’s excited to tackle the challenges of directing a show that she knows and loves. “First of all, it’s such a great show as a piece of musical theater. The complicated protagonist is female…she’s not oversimplified, she presents a real person,” Gina says of the show. “It’s a very political show, but it doesn’t play out like a history lesson. All the characters are so passionate and involved in the politics of the show. And that’s not exaggerated—the people of Argentina are really like that!”

One of the characters that Gina is most excited about is the city of Buenos Aires itself. The show is imbued with the vibrancy of the city and it becomes like a character of its own. Every bit of the creative team is responsible for creating the city—from the scenic and sound designers, to the costumes and choreography, we’ll be bringing Buenos Aires to life on stage, as well as the characters themselves.

EVITA is a show that is political and personal, entertaining but thought-provoking. It’s substantive and escapist. It will be a beautiful piece of theater that’s unlike anything that we’ve ever done before and everyone involved with the production, including Gina, can’t wait to share it with you!

Mark O’Connor Photo by John David Pittman

It’s rare to find a violinist, fiddler, and composer as versatile as Mark O’Connor. Whether he’s performing classical music, jazz, country, folk, or Americana, his virtuosity is thrilling to see and hear. A child prodigy who won national titles as a teenager, he was mentored by jazz violin great Stephane Grappelli, and the two remained close friends until Grappelli’s death in 1997.

O’Connor has collaborated with James Taylor, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Alison Krauss, Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, and many more. He’s headlined bluegrass festivals, including Telluride, RockyGrass, and Merlefest, and he’s performed his own concertos with symphonies around the world. He’s won two Grammy Awards and his most recent release, Coming Home, is nominated for a 2017 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album.

O’Connor’s other passion is teaching, and he created the O’Connor Method: The New American School of String Playing. The O’Connor Method rivals the Suzuki Method of teaching

violin and fiddle by focusing on American music, rather than European classical music, to help students develop a love of playing. It also focuses on the history behind the music, giving students a more well-rounded understanding of what they’re playing.

O’Connor’s performance at the Arts Center with his family band is a special one. Three of the four members play fiddle, and the fourth plays mandolin. Joined by a guitarist and a mandolin player, The O’Connor Band delivers beautiful and thoughtful original songs, classic covers, and sophisticated instrumentals with a fresh, powerful, unprecedented sound that wins over fans of every style from bluegrass to indie folk to Americana.

The Subdudes March 3, 2017 at 8pm

Sponsored by:

Over the course of 25 years and ten albums, the Subdudes have quietly become one of America’s national music treasures.

The New Orleans-formed group is a living encapsulation of American music, a vibrant cauldron of sounds that stirs together meaty grooves and jazzy dynamics, soulful R&B swagger, easy vocal harmonies, cheeky rock ‘n’ roll attitude, and folky social consciousness — not to mention some of the sharpest musicianship and ensemble playing you’ll ever hear from any five musicians.

Led by singer/guitarist Tommy Malone and accordionist, John Magnie, The Subdudes draw most of their inspiration from the sounds of their native New Orleans, blending blues, gospel, funk, and R&B with their own harmony vocals; their sound is also notable for the band’s substitution of a tambourine player, Steve Amedée, for a drummer. Tim Cook rounds out the band on bass.

The finale of each show is a much-anticipated part of the live performance when The Subdudes unplug from the stage and join the audience on the floor to play an intimate and rousing acoustic set. Their latest CD, 4 on the Floor, captures that unique experience.

Art Garfunkel March 7, 2017 at 8pm

Sponsored by:

ART GARFUNKEL (Biography) Blessed with what the New York Times described as a “beautiful countertenor,” singer Art Garfunkel has made an indelible mark on the music world as both a solo artist and half of the unrivaled Simon & Garfunkel. He has also enjoyed a successful film career, published a book of poetry and released 12 solo albums, the most recent being Some Enchanted Evening in 2007.

Since then, he has been busy as a husband and father to his two sons, 26-year-old James and 11-year-old Beau Daniel. He is also an avid walker who has walked across Japan, the U.S. (celebrated in the 1997 concert DVD Across America), and now Europe.

Garfunkel was originally revered for his Grammy-winning, chart-topping songs and albums with partner and fellow NYC native Paul Simon. Their greatest hits collection, which includes “Mrs. Robinson,” “Scarborough Fair,” “The Sound of Silence,” “The Boxer”, and “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” among others, is one of the biggest selling album ever.

After Simon & Garfunkel parted ways in 1970, Garfunkel landed several major film roles, including Carnal Knowledge (opposite Jack Nicholson), Catch 22 and Nicholas Roeg’s Bad Timing/Sensual Obsession. His solo debut Angel Clare spawned the top 10 hit “All I Know.” His other solo albums include Breakaway (‘75; features the hit “I Only Have Eyes For You”), Watermark (‘78; featuring “[What A] Wonderful World” with James Taylor and Paul Simon), Fate for Breakfast (‘79), Scissors Cut (‘81), The Animals’ Christmas (‘86), Lefty (‘88), Garfunkel (greatest hits, ‘88), Up Till Now (‘93), Across America (‘97), Songs From a Parent to a Child (‘97), Everything Waits To Be Noticed (’03), Some Enchanted Evening (’07) and The Singer (2012).

The late ‘80s brought two new challenges for Garfunkel: he published Still Water, a collection of poetry in ‘89, and began an amazing trek across America—on foot. But the ‘80s and ‘90s found Garfunkel doing what he does best: singing for an audience. “Taking on the fear and vulnerability of a live show keeps you vital,” says Garfunkel, who relishes the opportunity to perform new and classic material for fans around the world. “I’m a singer trying to get away with a lucky job. I try to soothe, to lift...That’s my life.”

Garfunkel earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Columbia College, majoring in Art History; later he earned his Master’s degree in Architecture at Columbia University. He lives in New York City with his wife Kim. Garfunkel is an avid reader and has chronicled every book he’s read since June 1968 on his website—1,227 in all.

SPOTLIGHT

Children’s Programming You’re never too young to be a patron of the arts!

At least, that’s what we believe at LTAC. The arts help children develop language skills, decision making, creativity, cultural awareness, and many other important skills. It’s never too early to introduce a child to the arts. Our commitment to quality programming shines through in every facet of work, especially when it comes to our amazing children’s programming.

We offer multiple programming options under the children’s theater umbrella. We have Seedlings, designed for children 1–4 years old, to introduce children to the arts. Passport to Culture is designed for elementary school aged children and aims to broaden horizons when it comes to culture and the arts. We offer student matinees at 10am during the week for certain performances, including our National Geographic Live student/senior matinee, putting a focus on multi-generational programming. And a program very dear to our hearts is the SF Family Tree

26

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

program, which is our sensory friendly branch of programming, designed for families with children who have cognitive, intellectual, or developmental disabilities.

In the last year alone, over 11,000 children and families attended children’s programs at LTAC. We had 66 different performances throughout those four different series, with toddlers to high school students in attendance. We had full houses of toddlers for our Seedlings programs and full houses of school-aged children in the Main Stage theater. By committing to children’s programming, we hope to create a generation of regular theater-goers who value the arts as an important part of their lives.

We pride ourselves on making the arts accessible to all our patrons, no matter their stage of life.

From the young to the young-at-heart, we aim to provide memorable arts experiences for any and all patrons who come through our doors.

PROFILE

Even before the Arts Center opened, the LTAC Guild was there and ready to help. Donating time and resources, this group of motivated women and men work behind the scenes to fundraise and bring awareness to LTAC year-round. One of the most important ways they support LTAC is by underwriting children’s access to theater here.

Each year, the Guild pays the ticket fees and bus fees for hundreds of children 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 around LTAC; they have provided booster seats for children in the Main Stage Theater and paid

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

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 fun meetings with behind-the-scenes info about LTAC and other exciting activities. The Guild started a community tradition in 2012, providing the holiday tree and sponsoring each season’s Holiday Kick-Off featuring free cocoa, cookies, and lots of merriment and carols.

Sound like too much fun to miss?

Cardel Homes has a weak plié – but a superb port de bras.

That’s ballet for “we can’t dance, but we’re good with our hands.”

Every home we build is crafted by our highly skilled tradespeople.

Skilled at building, that is. When it comes to dancing, we’re terrible.

That’s why we’re proud to build homes within the South Metro area’s talented performing arts community.
