TPAC update The TPAC was built for everyone, and our mission to provide arts for all is alive and well in our Orbit Arts program. Because many of our fellow Tulsans don’t have easy access to our facility and all the amazing shows and events we present, we see it as our Sara Phoenix responsibility to make sure everyone in Tulsa can have access to special, varied arts experiences. Orbit Arts is our community-centered arts initiative that takes the arts to folks in different parts of our city.

is the official program of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center

To do that, we find incredible performance arts nonprofits already operating within our community and provide support by partnering with them to help their work grow and expand to reach more people.

Our current partners are Northside Performing Arts Community, Tulsa People’s Orchestra, Ballet Folklórico Sol Azteca and LIFE Senior Services at East Side. We are also bringing The Concert Truck back to Tulsa this fall to present nine free concerts all over town — in places you might not normally see professional musicians on stage.

And we can’t wait to bring back our Orbit Arts Festival in April, in which we open the doors to the TPAC and present a day of all types of performance arts completely free of charge to anyone who wants to come.

Whether you’re in the building or in your neighborhood, we hope the arts are reaching you, your family, your friends, and others, because everyone deserves to have the arts in their lives.

A

unique fusion of cultures and musical styles is headed to the Chapman stage this month! Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, México’s foremost mariachi band, is set to play with our very own Tulsa Symphony Orchestra. This amazing amalgamation is the brainchild of local musician, Hugo Salcedo.

Salcedo, a classically trained singer and violinist, carries mariachi music in his heart, particularly the music of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán. “I hated the violin.

I wanted to learn guitar, but the school mariachi band already had too many, so I was forced to play the violin,” recounts Salcedo. He continues, “When I first saw the violin section of Mariachi Vargas live, I was transformed. I immediately shed all the aversion, laziness, and lack of motivation I’d had up until that point.”

Founded in 1897, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán is the mariachi band with the longest history in México and the world. Furthermore, the band’s ever constant pursuit of excellence has resulted in them holding the title of World’s Best Mariachi since the 1950s.

INTERMISSION NOV 2023

Mariachi music is popular music interpreted with great complexity, heart and passion. In the case of Mariachi Vargas, whose members are masterful musicians, they can easily accompany even the most veteran of artists, which is something they have done with the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and many other well-known artists, symphonies and philharmonics around the world.

Now, Tulsans are lucky enough to see them create this same magic in our own town with the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra. It promises to be a night unlike any other.

ARTISTRY Since there are already so many incredible local organizations working toward providing arts education and experiences, Orbit Arts was designed to work alongside those organizations to amplify the impact we can all have when we work together.

This year for Orbit Arts, we’ve chosen four local arts organizations making amazing strides in their communities toward providing art to those who would not otherwise have access to it. By using our resources to support and assist these groups, we believe we can help them create arts education and opportunities for all.

So, who are these groups? Read on!

Want to see our amazing partners in action? Keep an eye out this spring for word on this year’s Orbit Arts Festival on April 20!

NORTHSIDE PERFORMING ARTS COMMUNITY Micah Wise started Wise Moves Dance Academy after seeing young dancers turned away from dance troupes. She realized she could not only give these young dancers an alternative outlet but also train them with the skills they’d need to get on the dance troupes they’d been turned away from.

Now, with the support of Orbit Arts, Wise will be able to expand her vision and create the Northside Performing Arts Community, providing classes in everything from dance to culinary arts for those in kindergarten through 12th grade. They’ll even get a chance to show off their skills in creative productions and festivals.

LIFE SENIOR SERVICES AT EAST SIDE

TULSA PEOPLE’S ORCHESTRA Benjamin Ray, who marched with the Broken Arrow Pride Band in high school and now teaches at Central High School in Tulsa, believes in the power of music to bring people together. He believes in that power so much, he created an entire organization around the idea: Tulsa Peoples’ Orchestra.

LIFE Senior Services at East Side is an amazing activity center focused on providing an outlet for senior citizens who want to remain active and continue learning. With programs and activities covering everything from fitness to acting and improv, they provide a wonderful place to stay active and involved.

Ray realized that, once an individual left school, there wasn’t much of an opportunity to play a musical instrument unless you wanted to do it professionally. Tulsa Peoples’ Orchestra provides everyone who plays an instrument the chance to do it for fun, for fellowship and the chance to continue doing something that feeds the soul.

This year, with the help of Orbit Arts, LIFE Senior Services at East Side will be producing its second Broadway senior musical theatre experience! With a production crafted specifically for individual abilities and participation levels, those with all levels of interest and ability will be able to take part.

BALLET FOLKLÓRICO SOL AZTECA Ballet folklórico, “folkloric dance” in Spanish, is a collective term for traditional cultural dances that emphasize local folk culture with ballet characteristics — pointed toes and highly choreographed, exaggerated movements. Ballet Folklórico Sol Azteca is an incredible troupe of folkloric dancers here in Tulsa, dancing to help keep their cultures alive and flourishing. Once you’ve seen their beautiful costumes, smiles and dances, you won’t soon forget them.

THIS ONE’S

FOR THE FANS

BY PAGE LEGGETT | PHOTOS BY MATTHEW MURPHY Connor Gallagher knew fans of Beetlejuice, Tim Burton’s over-the-top 1988 movie, would have high expectations of the musical adaptation.

Beetlejuice choreographer Connor Gallagher aims to please diehard devotees of the film — and welcome new ones into the fold

musical also features a couple, Barbara and Adam Maitland, who fall to their deaths early in the show. Beetlejuice coerces them to haunt their former home’s new residents — the Deetz family. The Maitlands aren’t very scary, so they prove unsuccessful at haunting.

It’s that combination of (lighthearted) horror and comedy that has endeared Beetlejuice to fans for 35 years. It’s not everyone who can look at grief with a sense of humor, but Burton manages the feat.

THE MOVIE ON STEROIDS “I wanted to tip our hat to fans and welcome those who are new to the story,” Gallagher said.

“We had to hit all the moments that made the movie special and memorable for so many — but also expand it for a new medium.”

But the choreographer also knew there’d be audience members who’d never seen the source material, and he had to wow them, too.

Burton’s sweet but outré story concerns Lydia Deetz, an unusual teenager who’s grieving her recently deceased mother while also trying to get her dad to pay attention to her. The comically demonic Beetlejuice serves as both character and narrator. He breaks the fourth wall to speak directly to the audience and enlist us in his plans.

The musical is not a rehash of the movie. “Very often with films adapted for the stage, you see a version of the movie on stage,” he said. “Here, Act I sticks pretty closely to the movie, but Act II feels almost like a fan-fiction expansion of it.”

It’s the already oddball movie on steroids, Gallagher said. “That’s something people really enjoy about our show: It’s unexpected.

It’s not what we traditionally see in a movie adaptation.” Gallagher’s biggest challenge: Adapting the material in a way that spoke to as many people as possible. “This was a cult film — even when it first came out,” he said. “And it

was only Tim Burton’s second film [after Pee-wee’s Big Adventure]; we were really just getting to know him as a filmmaker.”

The movie quickly became known for its “visual style and kookiness,” he said. The musical had to retain the kookiness while saying something new.

Accomplishing that took a coordinated effort. “We’re dealing with ghosts and paranormal activity and people who can shape-shift,” Gallagher said. “It required an uncommon level of collaboration among the illusion, puppet, costume, and lighting designers and me.”

Besides being inspired by Burton’s colorful lunacy, Gallagher leaned into the musical score.

“The score is so eclectic,” he said. “Part of that is because Beetlejuice the character has lived through many decades and eras of music. So many shows I do sit squarely in one specific style. But this show has elements of rap and ska; traditional old-school Broadway; and vaudeville-type music.

The variety gave Gallagher a big playground in which to create.

Something else about the show led Gallagher to an epiphany. “Because the show is built on the actors’ personalities, the comedy they bring to the piece inspired the work.

If you saw Beetlejuice on Broadway or have seen any iteration of the show, it’s always going to be a little bit different depending on who’s playing the roles.

The actors bring so much to the show.”

FROM A HAUNTED HOUSE TO THE NETHERWORLD “There’s a large, eclectic bunch of performers who take you on this journey to a haunted house and the netherworld,” he said. “We go to a bunch of places and introduce different characters throughout.

It’s constantly changing and morphing, and that makes the show really fun for a choreographer.” It’s fun for the performers, too — which is not to say the dances are a cakewalk. Gallagher challenges performers with some manic maneuvers.

“That Beautiful Sound” at the top of Act II may be the biggest hurdle they face. “It’s a stamina challenge,” he said. “Beetlejuice has cloned himself, and all the Beetlejuices appear out of nowhere, and they have a giant house party with Lydia. It’s the first time Beetlejuice and Lydia really connect.”

“These Beetlejuices are almost like The Walking Dead,” he added. “They can bounce off walls. They’re walking on their hands and doing extremely challenging lifts and singing all at the same time. And that number just goes on and on.”

“I’m a dancer, as well,” he continued. “And I’ve been in many shows where there’s a chorusline aspect to the dances. It’s all uniformity, about blending in as part of an ensemble.”

This is not that.

This is about standing out. Gallagher asks the actors to bring their own personalities to their roles. It’s a rare challenge, he said — one that requires comedic chops as well as dance expertise.

“Beetlejuice is sort of a hybrid of stand-up comedy and improvisation,” he added. “So even if you come to the show multiple times, it will be a little different every night. That’s really special.

I’m excited for audiences to experience it.”

If you’re not a fan already, you likely will be after seeing what Gallagher and his creative co-conspirators have conjured.
