Standing OVATION 2014-2015 SEASON 1

Welcome

Mark North General Manager Stephens Auditorium

Steven LeathPresident Iowa State University

CURTAIN GOING UP!

The celebrated 3,000 pound stage curtain, Silver Code, is opening on a new arts season at Stephens Auditorium. After a year of cleaning, repairing, and re-rigging the auditorium’s iconic main theatre curtain, a unique work of art designed by artist and sculpture Ryokichi Mukai, you’ll be captivated by its original shine and glory – just like opening night 46 years ago.

But it is not just nostalgia that has made the curtain conservation such a marvelous spectacle, the hall itself dazzles the eye with eclectic architecture and charms the ear with excellent acoustics.

Just as the curtain is a cause to celebrate, so is the exciting, jam-packed season of entertainment we have in store that will allow you the opportunity to indulge in your favorite arts genre.

Families, serious-minded theater-goers, and the adventurous all have something to look forward to this season. Whether you love Broadway or are mesmerized by music, there are numerous world-class superstars, acclaimed performers, and well-established talent who will move and inspire you.

This winter, sail the sunny seas with the perfect Broadway getaway as the cast of Anything Goes as heads out to sea on the S.S. American on January 22. This cheery Cole Porter musical comedy features the madcap romantic antics of the passengers aboard a luxury cruise ship.

For music fans, there will be lots to enjoy at Stephens. The ‘80s super group The Aus-tralian Bee Gees will bring their hits to life on February 20, and the Grammy Award winners, The Chieftains will get our toes tapping to traditional Irish music just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

You won’t have to look far for the best in classical music this season. The world’s greatest composers provide the backbone for The State Symphony of Mexico on March 3 featuring Irina Chistiakova on piano.

You are invited back for two nights in March to experience the multi-talented STOMP performers as they fill the stage with energizing beats, inventive and invigorating dance, and theatrical performance combined into one electrifying rhythm. Their technical skill is truly awesome: this perfectly synchronized ballet of juggled sticks, drums, matchboxes and brooms, is indeed thrilling to witness.

You’ll find this season has plenty of opportunities to indulge in your favorite genre or experience something new. The Iowa State Center staff works hard to create these experiences for you. Each interaction—subscription, ticket purchase and contribution to the Performing Arts Fund— helps make it possible for us to continue to bring more joy, more diversity, and more inspiration through the world’s greatest performances to the heart of Iowa.

Enjoy the show!

“Fashionably Late” is never in stylePlease arrive early enough to find your seat before the curtain rises. After the performance has begun, latecomers will be asked to wait until a suitable moment before being seated. The same reminder applies at intermission.

Sit Back, Relax, and... “Hello?”Please be considerate of your neigh-bors, just as you would expect the same consideration from them, and turn off all cell phones, pagers and watches with alarms. With the outstanding acoustics in the auditorium, these sounds will distract and annoy everyone. If needed, you can arrange to be notified in the event of an emergency call. See “Cell Phones and Pagers” on page 2 for details.

Talk of the TownWe’re delighted if the performance becomes the “talk of the town,” but please wait until intermission or the final curtain to carry on conversations. You might also consider reserving any negative feedback until you are in private. People have differing opinions about creative events, and after all, you could be sitting next to the conductor’s mother or a company member’s spouse.

An Evening with the FamilyChildren are always welcome at Stephens Auditorium events. However, some performances require an adult attention span and a quiet auditorium. Please be considerate of both your young ones and the rest of the audience by excusing yourself with your child if he or she becomes disruptive during the performance.

Hearing a Pin DropIf you should need a cough drop or candy to help soothe a scratchy throat, please try to open the wrapper quickly and at an appropriate time (a scene change, applause, etc.). A good tip: unwrap a few lozenges before entering the auditorium.

A Star is BornPerforming arts enrich our community’s cultural life and bring a variety of entertainers to our backyard. These talented artists may be performing in your favorite musical or playing a well-known concerto, but you may be sitting near people who aren’t familiar with the piece. Please resist humming, singing along, or finishing a line for the actors.

Good NeighborsShould you find yourself near someone who chooses to violate the rules of common courtesy, please remember that a quiet reminder or a polite “shh” can be very effective. If needed, ask an usher to help resolve the issue.

Great EscapeA quick departure is noticed by everyone in the audience and especially by the performers on stage. Making a mad dash for the exit expresses inconsideration to everyone in the auditorium. Please stay until the house lights go up. Should you need to make an exit before the final curtain call, please be discreet and considerate to others in your row.

Keeping Up AppearancesHelp us preserve the ambience of Stephens Auditorium by depositing all trash in the appropriate receptacles located in the lobby areas.

In today’s world, everyone seems to have less time and more stress, making the chance to sit back, relax and enjoy an event that much more meaningful. A visit to the theater can provide a wonderful escape, so here are some tips that will ensure you — and the guests around you — will have an even more enjoyable trip to Stephens Auditorium.

Theater Etiquette


Every effort is made to ensure every guest has an enjoyable experience at Stephens Auditorium. Should you have additional questions or require special accommodations, please make arrangements with the Ticket Office when purchasing tickets.

ATM: For your convenience, an ATM is located in the Ticket Office lobby. The ATM is accessible during regular business hours and for the duration of all performances.

Background Materials: To learn more about the artists before you come to Stephens, we post biographies of the performers, composers and authors. You can also preview the event with audio and video samples at www.center.iastate.edu

Listening Devices: Infrared listening devices to clarify and amplify sound are available free of charge at the Guest Services Desk in the main floor lobby. The

supply is limited and dispensed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Special Seating: Wheelchair seating and special seating for the hearing and visually impaired is available for all performances.

Sign Language Interpretation: When possible, we will arrange to provide sign language interpretation and tape-recorded programs. Requests for these services must be made one month in advance.

Services for Guests


From beginning to end, we do extensive research in choosing the performances. Our goal is to offer high-quality performances from varied genres and disciplines as diverse as our audience.

Preparation for the next season begins one to two years before we announce the series each May. Discussions for the 2015-2016 series have already begun.

The extensive planning process includes all of these considerations:

1. Priority List of Artists After scheduling the series each year,

there may be performances which were considered but didn’t fit into the schedule and we keep those events on a priority list for the future. Some artists are so well received, that we want them back when the timing is right for a return performance.

2. Geographic/Routing Criteria A big question in the planning process is what performances will be touring in the Midwest and when. Artists’ agents advise which shows are available and the potential artist fees. Many events are available to play at Stephens Auditorium in mid-fall and spring, as they start their tours on either coast and route into the Midwest in October, February and March. Fewer events are available in September, December, January, and April.

3. Collecting Information Next, we collect background material

on the performances from various sources, including:

Agents: Most agents know the sales

history of the artists and want to sell only the events that make sense for a particular venue. We discuss whether an event will fit our community and its needs.

ISU’s Performing Arts Council: This panel

of Iowa State University faculty, staff, students and community members offers valuable insights and feedback on performances.

Iowa State Center staff: Staff members

may attend regional and national meetings on the arts, providing an opportunity to preview artists and shows.

Guest comments: Guests often have

excellent intuition about artists and shows that would be successful on the series. We welcome your comments.

Other sources: We monitor the artists

scheduled by other presenters to see what works in markets similar to ours. Magazines like Billboard and Variety cover hot new jazz artists, classical music favorites, popular performers and off-Broadway shows.

Do you wonder how the eclectic mix of performances on the Performing Arts Series comes together? And how do we choose the dates? Contrary to the notion that the Performing Arts Series is selected randomly, much like picking shows from a hat, programming involves a lot of planning to bring the best possible collection of performances to our stage.

The Art of Programming


4. Talking to Artists’ RepresentativesNegotiations begin via phone, e-mail and at performing arts conferences.We determine how many performances our market can support and begin to shape a preliminary series. We must also consider:

• balancing the types of shows and arranging dates with the university and community calendars

• checking potential conflicts with other area arts presenters

• generating budgets for each potential event to ensure there is a balance between financial responsibility and artistic merit, since ticket sales cover only 68% of presenting costs

Now the actual booking begins and the schedule is adjusted several times until we have the right mix of performances. Talent fees, ticket prices, performance dates and hundreds of other details are ironed out. When all parties agree, we finalize the event and sign the contracts. However, nothing is set in stone. Scheduling conflicts, changes in tour funding, and other circumstances can change even ‘finalized’ performances.

At last, the Performing Arts Series is announced to the public! (Of course, we’re already planning great shows for next season.)

When you think of Stephens Auditorium, we hope you think of it not just as a venue for seeing the performing arts, but also as a place where you are engaged as an active participant in the arts. The following events will enhance your visit and make each experience more fulfilling.

Master Classes: In master classes, artists will meet with groups of students, usually from Iowa State University and other area schools, and share their knowledge and insight as professional performers. In some cases, the artists will even provide a class for the entire community.

Free Previews in the Celebrity Café: Engaging presentations offered by topic experts, ISU faculty members or members

of the professional touring group provide unique insights before each performance. Previews are free for ticket holders and occur 30 minutes before curtain time. You’ll find the Celebrity Café on the ground floor lobby in Stephens, on the north side of the auditorium.

Overture Dinner: We offer pre-concert meals prior to our classical programming, with the next dinner scheduled before the State Symphony of Mexico, March 3, 2015. The buffet is held in the Scheman Building and includes three entrees, dessert, beverages and cash bar. With an informative presentation about the evening’s concert, it is a great way to make it a fun evening with like-minded arts supporters.

Make the Most of Your Experience With These Special Opportunities Before, During and After the Show.

Parents and educators know that helping a student develop creativity and imagination is one of the most important things they can do. Helping to complete the education formula, our Youth Matinee Series energizes, engages and enhances the overall learning process for students through the magic and

wonder of live performing arts experiences produced by professional touring artists. Performances are geared toward enriching students’ lives and illustrating the dynamic relationship between literature, social studies, history, science, math, world cultures and the performing arts.

Youth Matinee Series

Performing Arts For Young Minds

The Martha-Ellen Tye Performing Arts Institute was established through a generous endowment by long-time Marshalltown resident, the late Martha-Ellen Tye. It brings a unique blend of arts experiences to students of all ages through matinee performances, teaching activities in schools, demonstrations and workshops. Now in its 15th year, the program has served more than 150,000 students in grades PreK-12 from across the state of Iowa.

Mrs. Tye believed strongly in the power and importance of arts education and vigor-ously supported programs that develop the “whole person — body, mind and spirit.” The Youth Matinee Series is underwritten by this endowment, which allows us to keep prices affordable. Resource guides can be downloaded for free.

If you would like to learn more about these performances, contact Sara Compton, Outreach Coordinator, at 515-294-7389,

In the late 1920s he gained renown for many great songs, among them “Night and Day”, “You’re the Top”, “Begin the Beguine” and “I Get a Kick Out of You”. His 1930s were highlighted by such Broadway offerings as Anything Goes, Gay Divorce, and Jubilee. A crippling accident in 1937 left him in constant pain yet he continued to write memorable scores, among them Kiss Me Kate, Can Can and Silk Stockings. He died in 1964.GUY BOLTON (1884-1979) and P.G. WODEHOUSE (1881-1975) were both born in England. Together, with Jerome Kern, they wrote the famed Princess Theatre musicals. Usually, they collaborated on the book, and Wodehouse wrote the lyrics. Bolton, with one collaborator or another, or on his own, had a hand in well over 100 musicals and straight plays as well as numerous film scripts and novels. Wodehouse wrote 97 books―most notably the “Jeeves” novels―and countless short stories, articles, essays and films. In addition to Anything Goes, their work together includes Oh, Boy!; Leave It To Jane; Oh, Lady! Lady!!; Sitting Pretty; Oh, Kay! and Rosalie.

They also wrote The Sound of Music (with Rodgers and Hammerstein), State of the Union (Pulitzer Prize), Call Me Madam (with Irving Berlin), and The Great Sebastians, and produced Arsenic and Old Lace. Prior to their teaming up, Howard Lindsay (1889-1968) was an actor, stage manager, director, and playwright. Russel Crouse (1893-1966) was a newspaperman, press agent, author, and librettist.TIMOTHY CROUSE (Co-author of the New Book) has been a contributing editor of Rolling Stone and the Village Voice, as well as the Washington columnist for Esquire, and is an
