Do you consider yourself a revolutionary? Probably not. Most of us aren’t and those who are might not see themselves that way. We’re all just people — until some of us manage to change the world. In our world premiere Theatre Company production of The 12, the followers of Jesus Christ wrestle with their roles as revolutionaries without a leader. Developed by Tony-winning playwright and lyricist Robert Schenkkan (All The Way) and award-winning composer Neil Berg, The 12 combines the music of revolution (rock and roll) with universal questions of identity and responsibility. Whatever your beliefs, you’ll see some of yourself in this never-been-told story of people trying to find their places in a radically new world. Join us for this dramatic end to our Theatre Company season. You can also keep the rock flame alive with the creative and percussive hit STOMP or meet a revolutionary humorist in Mark Twain Tonight! Speaking of revolution, our Theatre Company’s production of One Night in Miami…. imagines the night Cassius Clay spent with activist Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke

and football legend Jim Brown before announcing his alignment with the Nation of Islam (and his eventual name change to Muhammad Ali). It’s a powerful spring line up of big personalities and world-changing ideas. Looking ahead you’re in for some treats. Our Broadway highlights include the national tour launch of If/Then, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, the 2014 Tony award-winner A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder and Beautiful — The Carole King Musical among many others. Our Theatre Company titles are nearly confirmed and are sure to match this season in quality, variety and appeal. Thank you for joining us today. I hope this season and next become part of your plans for enjoying our beautiful Colorado. Have fun.

SSTOMP is Baaaaaaack! Hooooooold on to your hubcaps! It’s been a while since you heard those clomping, clanging racket makers — racketeers? — right here in your own back yard. Yes, STOMP is back in Denver in all its explosive, syncopated glory with those incredible percussionists who treasure the old adage about one man’s trash… The troupe still doesn’t look at everyday objects the way the rest of the world does. In their hands, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters (we’re not sure about Grouchos and Harpos) and the general detritus of the 21st century takes on a life of its own. STOMP, created and directed by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, is an exploration of the outer limits of rhythmic invention. It’s a Pipe (read drain pipe) and Drum (read anything) Corps for our age. And speaking of age, it has not withered STOMP’s clatter — or fun. STOMP, that concatenation of sound and skill, is back with its rhythms and drumbeats intact. The same goes for its nonstop movement of bodies, objects, sound — even abstract ideas. There’s no dialogue, speech or plot. But music? Absolutely. Uncommon music, created in nontraditional ways — with every day objects ranging from matchbooks to every household item you can imagine. You’re bombarded by a caterwauling noise that under any

other circumstances you would choose to shut out. But not here. Here all is syncopated and choreographed with the precision of an army bugle corps (minus the bugles) and by the fertile imagination of buskers or street performers from the streets of Brighton — the spot where STOMP’s creators hail from and where they dream up versions of this utterly inventive, unexpected, whacked-out show. So sit back, relax, tap your feet, clap your hands. There’s only fun to be had here — no political statements, no dialogue to misconstrue, nothing beyond the sheer, surprising sights and sounds of the moment, from the ringing of hollow pipes to clashing metal weaving its spell, and industrial strength dance routines involving a lot of supremely well coordinated bodies. Yep, better hold on fast to those hubcaps as you zip yourself downtown to swing along with STOMP!

COMING UP FROM BROADWAY:

MOTOWN THE MUSICALMotown the Musical (playing The Buell March 31 - April 19) tells the remarkable true story of Motown founder Berry Gordy, who launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and many more. With the Vietnam War looming and the country at a cultural turning point, Gordy pushed on toward something bigger than he ever dreamed of, changing the world forever. Motown tells the thrilling tale of the man who broke barriers and fought against the odds to define the sound of a generation — complete with the ups and downs of the personal relationships, the professional struggles, and — of course — the music that made history. This exhilarating show captures the essence of the visionary Founder and the artists who joined the label and who fought against prejudice and racism to bring America together — breaking barriers, making us stronger, and keeping us moving to the same beat. Featuring songs such as “My Girl,” “Stop! In The Name Of Love” and “I Want You Back,” experience the story behind the music in the record-breaking smash hit Motown the Musical.

TTHE 12 A NEW ROCK MUSICAL FOR THE AGESB Y J O H N M O O R E

They are perhaps the three most impactful days in the history of man, and remarkably little is known about them: the 72 hours between Jesus’ crucifixion and what Christians believe was his resurrection. It was the birth of what is now the world’s largest religion, with about 2.1 billion followers worldwide. The DCPA Theatre Company’s new rock musical The 12 imagines what those three days must have been like for his closest followers in the immediate, dangerous aftermath of the death of Jesus. “It’s useful to remember how young these people were,” Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Robert Schenkkan said of the disciples. “These are very blue-collar, gritty, uneducated men. Yet their passion and their ultimate commitment to this individual — and the ideas that he embodied — are so fierce that they all will ultimately give their lives for him. That’s a very powerful idea, and we take that responsibility very seriously.” But The 12 is not a narrative play. Set against the backdrop of composer and co-lyricist Neil Berg’s classic rock ’n’ roll score, it is a big, loud, crank-it-up-to-10 musical. “The culmination of this event in history was, of course, a world-changing revolution of the most potent kind,” said Berg. “Rock ’n’ roll is the anthem of revolution, so that entirely supports this kind of passionate musical expression in our show.” What The 12 is not, both men said, is a treatise on religion. It is not a polemic. It does not take a stand on the certainty of the resurrection — although, Berg teases, “Everyone will have their own very clear idea of what happens at the end.” The 12 is instead an imagined, human story, Berg said, based on a real historical event. It is set to original music inspired by Berg’s love of classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who. In addition to being a trained writer of musical theatre, Berg has a long history as a touring musician with groups like the still-active Joe D’Urso & Stone Caravan. He has opened for Bruce Springsteen and The Doors, and has played at Red Rocks and McNichols Sports Arena. The score he has produced for The 12, he said, is a perfect match for the angst, the tension and the drive of Schenkkan’s story. “It is going to be authentic rock ’n’ roll, I can tell you that,” Berg said. The 12 has been described as picking up where Jesus Christ Superstar leaves off, and chronologically speaking, Berg said, that is accurate. However, Berg goes on to say that his original musical score “is really an open love letter to classic rock ’n’ roll.”

The 12 will now join a genre of popular Biblical rock musicals of widely different tones, including Superstar, Godspell, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (coming to The Buell Theatre April 22 – 26) and Children of Eden. “I think The 12 is a different, great addition to that group,” Berg said. “Because the characters are all trapped in one room this story is intense from the beginning. You’re in it. And the music reflects that.” Schenkkan, who also wrote the 2014 Tony-winning best play All the Way, loves Superstar and Godspell, but those musicals are far more stylized than The 12, he said. “This is a more natural and thoughtful approach to the material,” he said. “Our approach is much less sensational. And, I think, more powerful because of it.” It was Schenkkan’s decision not to use Jesus’ name in The 12, and he did it for two reasons. First, like so many details in the Jesus story, we can’t be sure about this but it is unlikely in Jewish society at that time that his followers would have addressed him using his name as that would have been considered disrespectful. More likely he would have been called an honorific like, “teacher” or “Rabbi.” Second, it was done to remove a possible barrier between the story and its potential audience. “The phrase ‘Jesus the Lord’ is so loaded in terms of what it will later come to mean,” Schenkkan said. “By taking the name out of the equation, it puts the focus back on the immediacy of this very human story. “The tendency of the audience will be to look at this event with the weight of 2,000 years of bitterly contested doctrine, and everything that comes with that. We are trying to strip all of that away and say, ‘Wait a minute: What if you were one of these fishermen on the sea of Galilee, and this guy you might have heard something about comes up to you and says, ‘Follow me.’ And for reasons that are not clear even to you in that

moment, you do, because there is something about him that compels you. What does that mean? It is kind of unfathomable.” Berg adds, “When the head of this revolutionary group is suddenly killed, what makes these followers continue on?” Still, Schenkkan understands why potential audiences may feel some trepidation about what is for now a theatrical unknown. “Oftentimes, unfortunately, when writers have dealt with issues of faith, it’s hard not to feel that there is some condescension there. Some smugness. Some superiority,” Schenkkan said. “That’s unacceptable, quite honestly. I think it’s prejudice. “We have tried very seriously to get at this fundamental question of belief and commitment to something which cannot ultimately be proved in rational, scientific terms. And to me, that is a very exciting, dramatic proposition: How does one get there? We have all experienced a dark night of the soul. A time where everything we have believed in whether it is a religious expression or an idea or a cause has failed us. And we have to find a way to go forward. To recover our faith and our belief. That’s at the heart of what we are trying to do here. And it’s why I believe that all of our audience — including members of all various faith-based communities — will find this a story that is not only accessible and respectful, but also very compelling.”

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

Described as one of the most enduring musicals of all time, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (playing The Buell Theatre April 22 - 26) has gotten a facelift. The history of the show dates back to the first Broadway performance in 1982. The success of the show spurred the Broadway revival in 1993 and made its way into the homes and hearts of viewers with the movie version of Joseph starring Donny Osmond in 1999. The revamped show starring newlyweds and “American Idol” veterans Ace Young (Grease, Hair) and Diana DeGarmo (Hairspray, Hair) features the same upbeat, feel-good vibe Joseph fans know and love, but with a modern twist. Director, choreographer and Tony-winner Andy Blankenbuehler paces the story with high-energy choreography and high-flying footwork with a hip-hop feel sure to have the audience dancing along. So put on your dance shoes and join us for one of musical theatre’s most enduring hits.

“The culmination of this event in history was, of course, a world-changing revolution of the most potent kind. Rock ’n’ roll is the anthem of revolution, so that entirely supports this kind of passionate musical expression in our show.”

— NEIL BERG

ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI…COMES OUT SWINGINGB Y J O H N M O O R E

TThe morning after Cassius Clay shocked Sonny Liston — and the world — to win the world heavyweight boxing title in 1964, the brash 22-year-old announced he was changing his name to Muhammad Ali and pledging his allegiance to the Nation of Islam. To understand the resulting shock in today’s terms: Just imagine if LeBron James, the most popular basketball player in the world, announced he was going off to fight for Al-Qaeda. “It was that mind-bending, upending and sensational,” said Carl Cofield, director of the DCPA Theatre Com-pany’s highly anticipated staging of Kemp Powers’ One Night in Miami…. The Nation of Islam was never a terrorist organization, but this was more a matter of public perception. The Nation was thought to be a hate group. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had declared it Public Enemy No. 1. The very name terrified Americans then, Cofield said, the way ISIS terri-fies them today. “I think it is an apt comparison,” added Powers, the playwright. “The Nation of Islam never burned crosses or murdered anyone like the Ku Klux Klan. But it was in Hoover’s best in-terest to get the perception out there that these were the kind of people who would come for your kids.” Several weeks before the fight, which Sports Illustrated later named the fourth-greatest sports moment

of the 20th century, the Miami Herald published an article quoting Cassius Clay Sr. saying his son had joined the Black Muslims four years earlier, back when he was 18. “Muslims tell my boys to hate white people; to hate women; to hate their mother,” Clay’s father told the newspaper. The ensuing uproar was so intense, fight promoters threatened to cancel the bout unless Clay publicly disavowed the Nation of Islam. He refused. The fight went on only after Malcolm X, Clay’s friend and incendiary spokesman, agreed to leave town (although he returned the night of the fight). Immediately after Clay dispatched Liston in a mere seven rounds, the new champ bypassed the post-fight celebration and instead retreated to a Miami hotel room with Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke. All that’s known of what happened next be-tween four of the most iconic figures of the 1960s is that they only had vanilla ice cream to eat. “What we definitely know is that the next morning, Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali,” said Cofield, the play’s director. Powers, a longtime journalist and first-time playwright, wrote One Night in Miami… two years ago to imagine what might have transpired in that room — a fictional flight of fancy with a very real historical context. While One Night in Miami… is set five

decades ago to many African Amer-icans, Powers said, “It feels a lot like 1964 right now. “One of the things that inspired me to write the play is that some of the issues the characters are dealing with are, sadly, still very much con-temporary issues,” Powers said. “As I was writing it, I realized that all of the characters have modern contempo-raries. So I do want people to see the modern parallel.” But Powers was not expecting One Night in Miami…, which had its premiere in Los Angeles last year, to become this timely: Trayvon Martin. Ferguson. Eric Garner. Retaliatory cop shootings. At the cineplex, Selma graphically laid bare the atrocities that surrounded the conspiracy to deny African Americans the right to vote in 1964. “The second week after the play opened in LA, the Trayvon Martin- George Zimmerman thing happened,” said Powers. When the play opened a few months ago in Baltimore, he added, “People assumed I wrote it in response to Ferguson. “I hate to say it, but as far as race in America goes, it seems as if there has been a bit of a regression. I just think there are harder lines between differ-ent groups right now.” One of the primary, and still red-hot issues in the play, he added, is the social responsibility of the black artist.

“Malcolm X thought Sam Cooke could have pushed the envelope to get people more fired up and agitat-ed,” Powers said. “Malcolm X’s orator-ical style was very much in-your-face and it propelled you to action; Sam’s style was more to let you discover the meaning of a song on your own, like an art piece.” Just as Powers finished One Night in Miami…, singer Harry Belafonte in-stigated a public sparring match with the rapper Jay-Z. Belafonte claimed current pop superstars “have turned their back on social responsibility.” He said that simply being a rich black man in the world is not enough. “When I saw that, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that is quite literally the whole question of social versus business responsibility, and which one deter-mines black success,’ ” Powers said. “I knew this play was going to be contemporary. But I had no idea it was going to be this nail-on-the-head contemporary.”

FOUR FIGHTERS What do cultural icons Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Sam Cooke and Malcolm X have in common? “All four are very much fighters, in their ways, but they have different styles,” said playwright Kemp Powers:

Muhammad AliThe DancerQuick on his feet, he often wore down opponents rather than just knock them out.

Jim BrownThe Pugilist

He punished opponents with straight-on power, often requiring

multiple defenders to bring him down.

Sam CookeThe BobberHe would be a more finessed, defensive fighter, surviving by bobbing and weaving.

Malcolm XThe Bruiser

He dazzles you with rhetoric before delivering the blindsiding knockout you never saw coming.

ne Stuart Sanks’ alter persona, Shirley Delta Blow, is no stranger to the Denver drag scene, and her colorful, big and over-the-top costumes are just as unforgettable. Shirley will be featured in our upcoming cabaret production Drag Machine from March 12 – 29 in the Garner Galleria Theatre. “I have this gorgeous prom dress — a strapless gown with a leopard print in the colors of the rainbow,” said Shirley. “It’s such a fun dress. I usually top it off with a gigantic pink foam wig and my favorite heels. Colorful sparkly accessories like a peacock bracelet and big crystal necklace complete this look.” Shirley wore the same dress while performing in Club Denver as part of last year’s The Legend of Georgia McBride post-show experience. “I had to duck to fit through the doors,” she said. “Remember in drag, more is more!” Stuart’s friend and Theatre Company Costume Design Associate Meghan Anderson- Doyle makes most of Shirley’s outfits. When the duo goes out looking for fashion accessories and fabrics, they keep their intentions to themselves. “When asked about what we were making, we respond, ‘Pillows.’ The ladies at Jo-Ann think I have lots and lots of pillows!”

mp STOMP, a unique combination of

percussion, movement and visual comedy, was created in Brighton, UK, in the summer of 1991. It was the result of a ten-year collaboration between its creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve Mcnicholas.

They first worked together in 1981, as members of the street band pookiesnackenburger and the theatre group Cliff Hanger. Together, these groups presented a series of street comedy musicals at the edinburgh Festival throughout the early ‘80s. after two albums, a UK TV series and extensive touring throughout europe, pookiesnackenburger also produced the highly acclaimed “Bins” commercial for Heineken lager.

The piece was originally written and choreographed by Luke as part of the band’s stage show; it proved to be the starting point for STOMP’s climactic dustbin dance.

In 1986, Luke and Steve created an eight-minute ‘percussive movie’ for Bette Midler’s HBo special Mondo Beyondo. Between 1987 and 1990, Luke staged, as artistic and Musical director, four large-scale outdoor events, including “Beat the Clyde”, which involved floating a drum orchestra on a pontoon in the centre of Glasgow; the largest of these events, “The Heineken Hove Lagoon Show”, involved a 120-piece drum orchestra featuring the Brighton Festival Chorus and a full orchestral string section.

In 1991, Steve and Luke first created STOMP, previewing at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre and premiering at the assembly rooms in edinburgh, where it became The Guardian’s “Critics’ Choice” and won The daily express “Best of the Fringe award”.

Between 1991 and 1994, the original cast of STOMP played to capacity audiences around the world: from Hong Kong to Barcelona, from dublin to Sydney. The touring culminated in a sell-out season at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre in January 1994, where STOMP received an olivier nomination for Best entertainment and won Best Choreography in a West end Show.

an expanded version of STOMP, involving up to 30 cast members, was originally created for the Brighton

Festival, UK, and was subsequently presented in Melbourne, australia. It was most recently seen in September 1995, open-air, at the acropolis in athens and at the royal Festival Hall, London. This production broke all box office records, which had been established by Frank Sinatra in 1972.

STOMP began its run at the orpheum Theatre in new York in February 1994 and quickly went on to win both an obie and a drama desk award for Most Unique Theatre experience. By the summer of 1994, the first american cast was in place at the orpheum, freeing the original cast for sell-out tours of north america and Japan. In the summer of 1995, two more american productions were created for the sole purpose of US touring, which continues to this day. US casts have also debuted STOMP in Chile, Brazil and Korea. Meanwhile, a fifth STOMP company, also touring from the UK, was formed in 1997 and has consistently toured the world ever since. This company presented STOMP for the first time in Scandinavia and South africa, and has been a regular visitor to Germany, Holland and France. another STOMP production opened in San Francisco in May 2000, running for two and a half years.

The original cast of STOMP have recorded music for the Tank Girl movie soundtrack and appeared on the Quincy Jones album, Q’s Jook Joint. a soundtrack recorded by Steve and Luke for the Showtime movie Riot was released in the spring of 1997.

STOMP has also featured in a number of commercials, including Coca-Cola’s “Ice pick” and numerous spots for both Target stores in the US and Toyota in Japan.

STOMP also created the Mr Frears’ Ears series of short films created for nickelodeon, whilst “Brooms”, a 15-minute short based around the opening routine, was nominated for an academy award. “Brooms” was also selected for screening at robert redford’s Sundance Festival and for competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

STOMP made a special appearance at the academy awards in March 1996, with an original piece involving

the live synchronization of classic film clips and onstage action, featuring 20 performers from all five productions.

In the summer of 1997, Steve and Luke created and directed STOMP OUT LOUD, a 45-minute television special for HBo, which combined stage material with new pieces created for TV. It was premiered in the USa in december 1997 and subsequently received four emmy nominations, for direction, sound mixing, multi-camera editing and art direction. 1998 saw the release of the STOMP OUT LOUD video and dVd around the world. another unique blend of live action and film footage was created for the emmy awards, in which STOMP effectively performed with Spike Jones!

STOMP performed after midnight on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at US president Clinton’s millennium celebrations. during 2000, a Sesame Street special, “Let’s Make Music”, a collaboration between STOMP and the Muppets, was released on TV and video in north america.

Luke and Steve began production of their IMaX movie Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey in Brazil during Carnival 2000 and completed it in the summer of 2002. pulse takes the IMaX audience on a spectacular global journey, featuring performances from Kodo, Timbalada and eva Yerbabuena. It was released to critical acclaim in new York in the autumn of 2002, and went on to win two major awards at the International Festival of La Géode in paris.

In September 2002, STOMP finally entered London’s West end at the Vaudeville Theatre, and later that year STOMP performed as part of The royal Variety Show for the second time.

2003 saw a new STOMP production open at the Stuart Street Theatre in Boston and a unique dolby digital trailer featuring STOMP performances debuted in cinemas across the globe.

In 2004, new York celebrated 10 years of continuous performances of STOMP at the orpheum Theatre by renaming 2nd avenue at 8th Street Stomp avenue.

In addition to the european tour, in 2005 STOMP returned to Tokyo for

stom

pthree weeks and also toured to Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

In 2006, STOMP’s new York production passed its 5,000th performance mark. In the same year, Luke and Steve directed a public service announcement for television called “Stomp out Litter”, which featured the cast ‘sweeping up’ at iconic locations in the five boroughs.

In addition, they were commissioned to create and produce The Lost and Found orchestra, which takes the ideas behind STOMP to a symphonic level, in celebration of 40 years of the Brighton Festival. The LFo subsequently performed at the Sydney opera House as part of the Sydney Festival early in 2007, was seen at the royal Festival Hall in London at Christmas 2008 and the Theater Carré in February 2009.

In 2007, STOMP OUT LOUD opened in Las Vegas at planet Hollywood resort and Casino with an expanded cast and performed inside a new $28 million theatre, specifically created for the production. The West end entered its 6th consecutive year with a move from

the Vaudeville to the ambassadors Theatre, where it still resides.

In 2008, STOMP returned to its roots for a new dVd shoot at the Brighton dome, bringing together a cast from all over the STOMP world. For the first time, the entire show has been captured in high definition sound and video.

2008 also saw Steve and Luke expand into new areas with the release of their IMaX 3d nature documentary Wild Ocean, with a symphonic mix of percussion and traditional orchestra in the soundtrack. In September of the same year, Wild Ocean won two awards at the Giant Screen Cinema association for Best Sound and Best original Score at their annual conference held in new York.

The Lost and Found orchestra reunited in 2010 for a new show, PANDEMONIUM, which appeared in several US cities throughout the autumn.

In 2011 the new York production of STOMP entered its eighteenth year, trouncing the orpheum house record

set by Little Shop of Horrors. It also entered its tenth year in the West end at the ambassadors Theatre, whilst at the same time Steve and Luke continued with their 3d film work.

2012 has seen the release of The Last Reef 3D, a film about the beauty and the plight of reefs worldwide. as with Wild Ocean, Luke and Steve composed the film’s orchestral soundtrack, recording it at The old Market Theatre in their hometown of Brighton & Hove in the UK.

They have also celebrated the one year anniversary of The old Market Theatre, which, having renovated it back in 2011, they now run as a full time venue, bringing music, theatre, dance, comedy and visual arts to the UK’s south coast.

Most recently, in august 2012, the largest ever assembly of STOMP performers (40 performers from 12 different countries) were brought together for a specifically choreographed appearance in the closing ceremony of the London 2012 olympic Games.

IIn a career that spans more than 70 years and ranges from regional the-atre to TV and film, the world inevita-bly thinks of Hal Holbrook primarily as Mark Twain. This recognition is all thanks to his irrepressible solo per-formance in Mark Twain Tonight!. To hear Holbrook tell it, this was all an accident. Born in Cleveland in 1925 where his first role in the theatre was in The Man Who Came to Dinner at Cleveland’s Cain Park Theatre, he grew up in Massachusetts and later graduated from Ohio’s Denison University. By the time Holbrook left Denison, he was married and he and his first wife, Ruby Johnson, had developed a two-person show consisting of characters from Shakespeare to (yes) Mark Twain. They took it on the road, touring the 8am school assembly circuit in a freezing Southwest, doing 307 shows in 30 weeks, and racking up 30,000 miles on their station wagon, with costumes that often had to be defrosted before they could be worn. The Twain characterization might have perished right there, but Hol-brook was cast in a soap opera in New York and became sufficiently bored with it that he began to ex-

pand his repertoire of Twain material in sheer self-defense. When TV’s Ed Sullivan saw the polished one-man piece in a small New York theatre and offered Holbrook national exposure on his hugely popular variety show, there was no turning back. The down side of that success was that young Hal was being offered mostly old-man roles. The up side, though he didn’t know it at the time, was that Mark Twain Tonight! would become the singular, solo creation that he’s played all over the country (including Broadway, where it earned him a 1966 Tony® Award). This turn of events threatened, but was not allowed to impede a much richer and fuller career. On stage he tackled everything — from comedy to drama, musicals to Chekhov, Miller to Shakespeare, careening from Hotspur and Shylock to the vaulting King Lear, without flinching at the sheer magnitude and range of his undertakings. “I was introduced to acting that way, playing everything,” he told this writer in 1996, when he came through Denver in the title role of Death of a Salesman. “I dove into the theatre to get be-hind disguises,” he confessed.

“As a kid, I’d scare the neighborhood as the Hunchback of Notre Dame. If I’d learned just to play myself I might have become some kind of movie star, but I thwarted that by taking on roles that allowed me to get at the heart of a character.” Yet the most amazing of those characters remains his portrayal of the pugnacious, cigar-chomping Mark Twain, a wit and writer Holbrook deeply admires and with whom he is on very intimate terms after 60 years of being him on stage. Not only does he find Twain’s perceptions brilliant, but also extremely modern. When we met on a wintry Los An-geles afternoon in his home library, Holbrook was fired up. On cue, eyes, energy and indignation blazing, he expounded not only on the astonish-ing career he has made out of playing one of America’s greatest citizen-phi-losophers (a journey chronicled in his 2011 autobiography, Harold, the Boy Who Became Mark Twain), but also on his boundless admiration for what he sees as Twain’s prophetic vision of this country’s often rogue and diffi-cult trajectory and uncertain future. “He was the first tremendously successful author in this country,” he said. “In the 1870s, after the Civil War, his career took off, he came east, and the country took off. The Industrial Revolution began, fed by Mr. Lincoln saying go ahead, put down the trans-continental railroad. Mark Twain, still in his thirties, became the confidant of Andrew Carnegie, of Mr. Vander-bilt — he sailed on his yacht — of young John Rockefeller: [Jay] Gould, J.P. Morgan. “In those days they all belonged to clubs — the Players Club, the Lotus Club. They all knew each other, had lunches, made fun of each other, had fun with each other. Twain watched them, looked at them, went home and wrote about them. He saw the great turn that had happened in this country, from an agrarian to an indus-trialized nation, which became, in a

period of 30 or 40 years, an industrial giant.” Yet Twain saw an America that lost its way. To quote from the show, “It’s a civilization that has destroyed the simplicity and repose of life, its poetry, its soft romantic dreams and visions, and replaced them with a money fever, shorted ideals, vulgar ambitions and a sleep that does not refresh.” No wonder Holbrook stands in awe. “You could start the American Dream with Abraham Lincoln as the epito-me of the Great American Story,” he said. “You go from Lincoln to Twain and the disintegration that he began to write about in The Gilded Age and other late works, and you know he was beginning to see the erosion of the purity of our values. “If you think that Mark Twain was just becoming a road exercise for me, think again,” he added. “I can get out there and say something that means something to me and, I believe, to the American public that may not even understand the magnitude of what is going on. It’s become my sword. We all need to think a little bit about what we are doing to ourselves, to our children and especially to our country.” The words will be Twain’s. The pas-sion? All Holbrook.

When DaVita teammates from across the country agreed on a mission “to be the provider, partner and employer of choice” more than 15 years ago, the company created a culture to support its patients, teammates and communi-ties in innovative, creative and sustainable ways. Since then, DaVita Health-Care Partners has continued its journey “to become the greatest health care community the world has ever seen.” As a community first and a company second, DaVita HealthCare Partners created a vision for corporate social responsibility called the Trilogy of Care: Caring for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other and Caring for Our World. DaVita HealthCare Partners believes that if it creates a thriving, sustainable community for its teammates, they in turn will create a special clinical and caring community for patients and their families – and be inspired to help others. This trilogy is at the heart of the company’s industry-leading clinical outcomes, goodwill initiatives and environmental commitment. As part of its commitment to the arts and bolstering education in Colo-rado, DaVita HealthCare Partners helped create a unique arts collaboration called the Creative Classroom Collaborative between the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA), the Colorado Symphony and Youth on Record, facilitated by the Public Education and Business Coalition. This collabora-tion resulted in a pilot program at Denver’s Venture Prep High School where students were taught by teaching artists from the respective groups to use the arts as a tool for improving core curriculum skills. The pilot culminated in a live performance by the students who showcased their creativity in various ways. DaVita HealthCare Partners believes in the importance of arts and culture in our education system and supports many Colorado organizations that are working to enrich those opportunities in local schools. DaVita HealthCare Partners teammates also are committed to engaging their local community through volunteerism. Many teammates work togeth-er on community service projects – or Village Service Days – like serving in soup kitchens, cleaning up parks and working with underserved populations. Since 2006, DaVita HealthCare Partners teammates and their families and friends across the country have volunteered nearly 79,000 hours through more than 14,000 Village Service Days. DaVita HealthCare Partners is a proud sponsor of the DCPA and its com-mitment to sustaining the arts and educating the next generation of patrons in Colorado. DCPA’s dedication to helping students develop their own cre-ative voice and gain the confidence to share that voice with the world is just one of the reasons why Colorado is such a great place to live and work.

DaVita believes in the importance of arts and culture in education and supports many Colorado organizations working to enrich those opportunities.

10TH ANNUALCOLORADONEW PLAYSUMMIT

Visitors to the 10th Colorado New Play Summit are calling the addition of a second week a real game-changer.

“Kent Thompson absolutely walks the walk,” playwright Theresa Rebeck said of the DCPA’s Producing Artistic Director who founded the Colorado New Play Summit in 2006. This year’s Summit featured the readings of four works in development — three of which were commissioned by the Theatre Company. With the expansion of the Summit, the four featured playwrights were given a week to rehearse with full creative teams followed by a sold-out weekend of public readings. Then, the playwrights had a second week to rewrite before readings for industry professionals and subscribers. The cumulative reaction from the writers was something akin to stunned euphoria: “Adding the second week was electrifying and extremely original,” said Rebeck. Added Jason Gray Platt: “I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish in just one week.” While the focus at the Summit is on development, the playwrights are keenly aware of the statistics: Thompson has mounted 25 world premieres in 10 years. So far, 57 percent of all Summit readings have gone on to full stagings by the DCPA Theatre Company. “This is what we do,” Thompson said. “We are committed to taking at least half of what we read at the Summit and [mounting it for a full production] on the stage — sometimes more.” This year’s readings had often overlapping things to say about gender, ethnic identity, memory and community.

Platt’s The There There tested our presumptions of tolerance by presenting one couple’s love story over 60 years. The same script was read by two men the first weekend, and by a man and a woman the second. Rebeck’s The Nest had pointed things to say about the different ways men and women see the world inside a story about a community of tavern regulars. Catherine Trieschmann’s comedy Holy Laughter looks at a very different kind of community in conflict. Her community looks at a flawed young Episcopalian priest who struggles to keep her church — and the minds of her few remaining parishioners — open. Tanya Saracho’s FADE is a semi-autobiographical story about an inexperienced young Latina who is hired to write for a TV detective show in Hollywood. The expanded Summit offered a plethora of new activities, including playwriting workshops led by Matthew Lopez and Paula Vogel, and two playwright “slams,” one curated by the local Rough Draught Playwrights. Visitors also attended world premiere performances of Benediction and Appoggiatura. Saracho left Denver saying, “I don’t know how to describe the essence of this place. Nurturing is not enough. I need a better word. Everyone here at this Summit is just trying to get your play born…so it’s like everyone is your midwife.”

Our main driving principles at Abend Gallery and Gallery 1261 are col-laboration and the power of art to support charitable endeavors as well as other artistic disciplines. That’s why Abend Gallery partners with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA) annually for Saturday Night Alive. Numerous works by gal-lery artists are donated to the Satur-day Night Alive auction and valued at more than $20,000 a year. There are many other ways in which this practice manifests in our galleries’ programs. In terms of collaboration, Abend has recently launched a series of guest-curated exhibitions. This past February, we partnered with curator Ivar Zeile and Plus Gallery by offering Ivar our main gallery space for a pop-up exhibition, paired with our in-house curated show. We used this platform to explore the possibilities of galleries working together in a shared con-text. Currently, Abend is featuring an exhibition by guest curator Mark Sink as part of his annual Month of Photography, a biennial celebration of fine art photography with hun-dreds of events throughout Denver and the region, taking place in March and April. The exhibit at Abend runs March 10 to April 17. Future guest curation and collaborative events at the gallery are planned for 2016. We also partner with local char-ities, such as Project Angel Heart and the Central Visitation Program. At Abend Gallery we host Art for

Life, a one-night auction featuring more than 100 artists donating over 100 works for auction that benefit Project Angel Heart, an outstand-ing charity dedicated to providing meals to individuals coping with life-threatening illness. Many of our artists from Abend and Gallery 1261 participate by donating works as well as performing live demonstrations during the event. In 2014, Art for Life raised more than $100,000 through auction and ticket sales to support Project Angel Heart’s home-deliv-ered meals program. This year, Art for Life will be held on May 29. Visit projectangelheart.com for more information. For more than 10 years, Gallery 1261 has hosted a silent auction benefit for the Central Visitation Program (CVP). The CVP is “a low-fee supervised visitation program that provides a safe and comfortable environment in which children and non-residential parents may visit.” We donate our space each year as well as a portion of the proceeds from any art sale during the event. The annual event at the gal-lery has typically provided more than 10% of CVP budget each year. This year the fundraiser will take place on November 6. Visit CVPDenver.org for more information. We are proud of our continued partnership with the DCPA, support of local charities and promoting the arts community of Denver.

Our main driving principles are collaboration and the power of art to support charitable endeavors as well as other artistic disciplines.
