Dear Arts Lover and Valued Broadway Center Supporter,

Thank you for sharing in the celebration of the Broadway Center’s thirtieth anniversary season. It has been a special honor for us to serve the Tacoma community, and we have taken great joy in all of our shared experiences. Tacoma has grown – culturally, economically and demographically – in leaps and bounds since 1983, and the Broadway Center takes great pride in reflecting that growth through diverse programming that cater to all the communities that collectively make the south sound such a wonderfully unique place to live. This upcoming season represents one of our most ambitious yet – with several national musical tours, award winning musicians and original productions.

We kick off the 2013-14 Season as the first stop of the national tour of CHICAGO The Musical. Starring John O’Hurley (of Seinfeld and Dancing with the Stars fame), the production truly is a star-studded event, the likes of which you would normally see grace the boards on Broadway. Following that is comedian Brian Regan. Known for his observational – and mostly clean – humor, Regan brings a fresh spin to stand-up comedy. Next up is travel guru Rick Steves, whose anecdotes and stories of traversing Europe for more than a quarter century make up a fascinating evening in Travel as a Spiritual Act.

Direct from New York, The Acting Company revives one of the most revered plays ever written, HAMLET. While fans of classic rock will be thrilled to see Ian Anderson take the stage, as he relives Thick as a Brick, as well as his entirely new concert Thick as a Brick 2. We will also continue the theme of hosting the best of theatre from across the globe with Potted Potter, the smash West End hit. Performing all seven Harry Potter books live onstage, these two actors’ hijinks will have He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named himself enthusiastically laughing along.

Award winning – and eminently talented – musician Rufus Wainwright takes the stage as we close out October, and November begins with the heart-breaking, yet often hilarious The Joy Luck Club. New Directions Veterans Choir, made up almost entirely of formerly homeless members of the armed forces, brings a joyful story of redemption to the stage. Then in Leaping Frog Films’ Salmon Stories, we experience the fragile beauty of the Pacific Northwest’s ecosystem. In Brentano String Quartet, the Broadway Center and Tacoma Philharmonic Endowment presents some of the finest orchestral music in the world. Fiesta, Familia, Folklore!, on the other hand, has a decidedly local flair as musicians from around the state bring the sounds of mariachi to the Pantages.

Together, we will experience art, community and life in vibrant downtown Tacoma. Thank you for joining the journey.

Warmest regards,

David Fischer Executive Director

CHICAGOSATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 2013 AT 7:30 P .M .SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 AT 3:00 P .M .PANTAGES THEATERRun Time: Appriximately 2 hours 30 minutes

Murder. Greed. Corruption. Violence. Exploitation. Adultery. Treachery. Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her.

Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to

transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.

With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, CHICAGO is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.

The national tour is directed by Scott Faris and choreographed by Gary Chryst. Walter Bobbie is the director of the original New York Production and Ann Reinking was the original choreographer in the style of Bob Fosse. CHICAGO features set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Ken Billington and sound design by Scott Lehrer. The production also features orchestrations by Ralph Burns, supervising music direction by Rob Fisher.

Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, CHICAGO has become a worldwide phenomenon with productions in 24 countries and 11 languages since 1996.

Brian ReganFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2013 AT 7:30 P .M .PANTAGES THEATER

Critics and peers agree: Brian Regan has distinguished himself as one of the premier comedians in the country. The perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality, Brian fills theaters nationwide with fervent fans that span generations.

On November 25, 2011, Brian’s highly anticipated second album, All By Myself, was released on CD available only through his website. The live concert recording was originally released as a digital download in December 2010 only available through his website. Releasing two critically acclaimed hour Comedy Central specials and DVD’s in as many years - 2008’s The Epitome of Hyperbole, and 2007’s Brian Regan Standing Up - Brian has set a standard of excellence that others continually try to follow. The Epitome of Hyperbole has also been seen on CMT.

Brian’s non-stop theater tour has visited more than 80 cities each year since 2005 and continues through 2012. It is the quality of his material, relatable to a wide audience and revered by his peers, which continues to grow Brian’s fan base. In January of 2012 Brian broke the record for the most consecutive shows by a comedian at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City with ten sold-out shows selling more than 26,000 tickets. In March of 2010, Brian performed five sold-out shows at Abravanel Hall breaking the previous record of four shows set by Jerry Seinfeld in 2005.

With his first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1995, Brian solidified his place on the show and this year he made his 25th appearance, the most of any comedian on the CBS show. A dorm room favorite, Brian’s 1997 CD, Brian Regan Live, has sold over 150,000 copies and consistently charts in iTunes Top Ten Comedy Albums. Brian’s 2000 Comedy Central Presents special continues to be a top viewer choice and in 2004 Brian independently released 2004 DVD, I Walked on the Moon.

Noted Alumni members include Kevin Kline, Rainn Wilson, Patti LuPone, Jesse L.

Its celebrated Education Programs — master classes, workshops and Learning Through Theater artistic residencies — reach over 37,000 students yearly, particularly those with no other access to arts education and live performances.

Our 2013-14 season will start with a fall tour of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, directed by The Acting Company’s Artistic Director Ian Belknap. During the winter and spring, Hamlet will run in repertory with Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, both productions in association with the Guthrie Theater.

“Prog Rock? Prog Rock? In 2012? Are you serious? Well, yes actually – although let’s use the original term ‘progressive rock’. Cast aside all prejudices as Jethro Tull’s singer / flautist / composer Ian Anderson explains what led him to revisit the genre some 40 years after the ground-breaking Tull album Thick As A Brick.

In the early 1970s bands like Yes, Genesis, ELP and King Crimson were pushing musical boundaries. The arrival of punk cast a shadow over a style of music that admittedly was becoming self-indulgent and pretentious, and the term Prog Rock became somewhat derogatory. But, Ian explains, “To me, anything is progressive if you are trying to take things on into a slightly new dimension, and draw upon different influences and push them into something that fits your own sense of inventiveness and your own career progression. So ‘progressive rock’ is a fine title.”

Jethro Tull’s short ‘prog rock’ era peaked with 1972’s Thick As A Brick, a 45-minute continuous piece of music charting the difficulties of a child growing up and confronting a frightening and unfair world. The album was encased in a spoof local newspaper The St Cleve Chronicle, with a headline story that a precocious schoolboy called Gerald Bostock had been disqualified from a poetry competition because of the inappropriate nature of his epic poem, which Tull then allegedly used as the album’s lyrics. Ian explains that the idea stemmed from the critics’ descriptions of 1971’s Aqualung as a ‘concept album’, even though it was just a bunch of songs a few of which had common themes. “In the light of the Aqualung reviews I deliberately set out to do a concept album that would in essence be a bit of a parody of other people’s concept albums and grandiose

progressive rock adventures. I thought let’s take this slightly arrogant and pompous way of writing and presenting music to an extreme, with the fiction of a then 10-year old boy having written the lyrics.”

The album was a world-wide success, including a No 1 spot on the American Billboard chart, and excerpts from the piece have regularly featured in Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson live shows. But Ian had steadily resisted record company suggestions that he write a follow-up. It was not until a chance encounter in 2010 with old pal Derek Shulman of Gentle Giant, who nagged him to consider a 40th anniversary sequel, that Ian gave it some serious thought – and surprised himself by not dismissing it out of hand this time. He had noticed that in recent years his audiences had been changing. “It wasn’t just

old codgers, it was kind of a mix between old codgers and young codgers. It really struck me that there was this new wave of interest from youngsters who want something that is an alternative and antidote to the X-Factor and the very repetitive rock music that does tend to be the stuff of

today. So I began to feel that it was not quite as undignified as I had earlier supposed to be doing something that was more in that kind of progressive vein.”

In February 2011 Ian spent a couple of days sketching out some ideas. “It was predicated on the idea of what might have befallen Gerald Bostock, this precocious child, where would he have headed in life? And the more I started thinking about that the more I thought that there were so many pivotal moments in my own childhood where, often quite by chance, I might have gone in one direction or in some completely opposite direction. I could have been anything from a soldier or a sailor or an astronaut to a thespian or a silviculturist - although when I left school I actually tried first to join the police force and then to be a journalist on the local newspaper, before music took over while I was at art college.”

The last few years have been quite a journey for Rufus Wainwright. Creatively, he put pop music aside and concentrated on his other interests, from his Grammy-nominated recreation of Judy Garland’s fabled Carnegie Hall concert to the 2009 premiere of his opera, Prima Donna. Wainwright’s personal life has been even more dramatic, witnessing the birth of his daughter, Viva; the death of his mother, singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle; and his engagement to partner Jorn Weisbrodt.

All of these experiences inform his seventh studio album, Out of the Game, along with the input of a new collaborator, celebrated producer Mark Ronson. The results are the loosest, most accessible music of Wainwright’s career, retaining his distinctive narrative sense and wry wit while adding classic pop pleasures.

“What I wanted was a warmth and a depth in terms of quality of sound, and a certain clarity that’s still easy on the ears,” he says. “I’ve done that whole ponderous, pseudo-genius thing, so it was fun to get in there and work really fast and do something that was more about the songs.”

Wainwright and Ronson knew each other socially, but the idea of matching them in the studio was the idea of their mutual friend and publicist Barbara Charone (who, in turn, is paid tribute on the album’s track “Barbara”). Ronson—winner of the 2008 Grammy for “Producer of the Year,” known for his work with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Christina Aguilera—says that initially he was unsure why the singer was turning to him, but that he was instantly inspired by the demo recording of the song that would become the album’s title track.

“Hearing ‘Out of the Game’ set this warm, ‘70s, slightly Laurel Canyon-meets-Young Americanstone,” he says. “I started to hear sounds and ideas as soon as I heard that demo.”

Wainwright and Ronson both credit the influence of the great recordings of the 1970s on Out of the Game. They reference such giants as Elton John, Harry Nilsson, and Steely Dan, and the genre-blending and sense of songwriting ambition that characterized the

best music of that era.“We were both born in the ‘70s and that’s

the first music that we heard,” says Wainwright. “I think it kind of gives us a right to pull from that, because our generation really was the last one that was actually there.”

After the brief, initial demo session, they spent six months reviewing the new songs and listening to some of Wainwright’s older,

unreleased material. By the time the recording began, they had enough preparation and, as Wainwright says, “were getting along like a house on fire,” and found that they were able to work at a very productive pace, tracking sixteen songs in just eight days.

“There was nothing precious about the recordings,” says Ronson. “The band was playing live, with Rufus singing on a

couch in the control room. For the most part the songs are what was recorded in that take, and it feels like you’re sitting there with the band.”

The sounds on Out of the Game range from the grand horns-and-strings arrangement of “Jericho” to the sparse, hypnotic “Montauk.” On “Rashida,” Ronson displays his signature love of doo-wop/girl group harmonies, while Wainwright says that “Bitter Tears” allowed the producer to “flex his dance muscles a little bit.” He describes “Welcome to the Ball” as the rare pop song that “goes on a serious journey through different musical perspectives.”

With grace and humor, craft and confidence, Out of the Game is a remarkable return to the pop world for Rufus Wainwright. The scope of sounds and styles is unified by both his incomparable voice and the lucidity of his vision. “Because I’m older and I’ve had different experiences, there’s a diversity in my life that I wanted the record to express,” he says. “Maybe in the past, it would get a little confusing to people, but this time we were able to maintain that mountain range of an existence with something tying it together, a certain sound or warmth, which makes all the difference.

“That’s always been my mission,” Wainwright concludes, “to make albums with variety and a sense of perspective on all that music can be.”

New Directions Veterans ChoirFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2013 AT 7:30 P .M . THEATRE ON THE SQUARERun Time: Approximately 70 minutes

New Directions Veterans Choir is an award winning a cappella group that sings renditions of doo-wop, soul, traditional gospel and popular music. The Choir consists of former military men and women, current and former residents of New Directions’ transitional facility, as well as some very special members from the “family” of veterans. The New Directions Veterans Choir is comprised of men and women who have served proudly in the United States Military. Another element they have in common: following their service to our country, they became homeless. The New Directions facility gave them hope and direction.

The Choir embarked on its inaugural tour in Fall 2012; The New Directions Veterans Choir recently performed for NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and has been featured on the NBC Nightly News and E! Entertainment Television. They have performed at over 100 venues and events, including “The Donny and Marie Show,” the Democratic National Convention and for members of the United States Congress. In 2006, the Choir took to the stage for a production of Michael McFall’s Dirty White Tuxedo Pants and a Brown Paper Bag, the tale of a homeless and schizophrenic Vietnam veteran living on the streets of Los Angeles. Despite their show business forays, the New Directions Veterans Choir has never forgotten their humble roots or their message of hope and redemption. George Hill, choir founder and director, was homeless for 12 years, living in and around MacArthur Park. A graduate of New Directions, Hill is also an employee at the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration and is studying for a degree in Computer Information Systems at California State University Los Angeles.

Come and join us for interesting evening of WA state salmon restoration stories.

River As Spirit This film is a

meditation on the soul of the Elwha River and the people and the salmon who have been a part of it for thousands of years. Just a week before the historic dam removal work officially began the filmmakers flew and filmed the length of the river (with a 600K camera), from its source high in the Olympic Mountains to the mouth at the Straight of Juan de Fuca. This stunning film is set to tribal music, poetry, and narrated in the native Klallam language, (with English subtitles).

Buried in Sawdust for 50 yearsThe story begins in the 60’s with a veneer

making operation and the dumping of what eventually became a 60’ high pile of wood waste into a nearby estuary. Scientist discuss the vital roll estuaries play in making healthy, sustainable salmon runs possible, as well as the broader environmental implications of what was not an uncommon practice at that time. You will also witness how the rebirth of Salmon Creek Estuary unfolded through the help of scientists, a local nonprofit, and volunteers.

Saving Puget Sound One Watershed At a Time

This film is an inspirational story of a Kitsap county community’s effort to preserve 40% of their watershed. This extraordinary and sustained effort will ensure that this natural treasure will be their legacy to the future of Puget Sound and help in the battle to save local salmon runs.

Brentano String QuartetFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2013 AT 7:30 P .M . RIALTO THEATER

Since its inception in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. “Passionate, uninhibited and spellbinding,” raves the London Independent; the New York Times extols its “luxuriously warm sound [and] yearning lyricism”; the Philadelphia Inquirer praises its “seemingly infallible instincts for finding the center of gravity in every phrase and musical gesture”; and the Times (London) opines, “the Brentanos are a magnificent string quartet…This was wonderful, selfless music-making.” Within a few years of its formation, the Quartet garnered the first Cleveland Quartet Award and the Naumburg Chamber Music Award; and in 1996 the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center invited them to be the inaugural members of Chamber Music Society Two, a program which was to become a coveted distinction for chamber groups and individuals. The Quartet had its first European tour in 1997, and was honored in the U.K. with the Royal Philharmonic Award for Most Outstanding Debut. That debut recital was at London’s Wigmore Hall, and the Quartet has continued its warm relationship with Wigmore, appearing there regularly and serving as the hall’s Quartet-in-residence in the 2000-01 season.

In recent seasons the Quartet has traveled widely, appearing all over the United States and Canada, in Europe, Japan and Australia. It has performed in the world’s most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York; the Library of Congress in Washington; the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam;

the Konzerthaus in Vienna; Suntory Hall in Tokyo; and the Sydney Opera House. The Quartet has participated in summer festivals such as Aspen, the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, the Edinburgh Festival, the Kuhmo Festival in Finland, the Taos School of Music and the Caramoor Festival.

In addition to performing the entire two-century range of the standard quartet repertoire, the Brentano Quartet has a strong interest in both very old and very new music. It has performed many musical works pre-dating the string quartet as a medium, among them Madrigals of Gesualdo, Fantasias of Purcell, and secular vocal works of Josquin. Also, the quartet

has worked closely with some of the most important composers of our time, among them Elliott Carter, Charles Wuorinen, Chou Wen-chung, Steven Mackey, Bruce Adolphe, and György Kurtág. The Quartet has commissioned works from Wuorinen, Adolphe, Mackey, David Horne and Gabriela Frank. The Quartet celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2002 by commissioning ten composers to write companion pieces for selections from Bach’s Art of Fugue, the result of which was an electrifying and wide-ranging single concert program. The Quartet has

also worked with the celebrated poet Mark Strand, commissioning poetry from him to accompany works of Haydn and Webern.

The Quartet has been privileged to collaborate with such artists as soprano Jessye Norman, pianist Richard Goode, and pianist Mitsuko Uchida. The Quartet enjoys an especially close relationship with Ms. Uchida, appearing with her on stages in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

The Quartet has recorded the Opus 71 Quartets of Haydn, and has also recorded a Mozart disc for Aeon Records, consisting of the K. 464 Quartet and the K. 593 Quintet, with violist Hsin-Yun Huang. In the area of newer music, the Quartet has released a disc of the music of Steven Mackey on Albany Records, and has also recorded the music of Bruce Adolphe, Chou Wen-chung and Charles Wuorinen.

In 1998, cellist Nina Lee joined the Quartet, succeeding founding member Michael Kannen. The following season the Quartet became the first Resident String Quartet at Princeton University. The Quartet’s duties at the University are wide-ranging, including performances at least once a semester, as well as workshops with graduate composers, coaching undergraduates in chamber music, and assisting in other classes at the Music Department.

The Quartet is named for Antonie Brentano, whom many scholars consider to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved”, the intended recipient of his famous love confession.


SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2013 AT 3:00 P .M .RIALTO THEATER

The Wenatchee School District’s Mariachi Program has been Nationally recognized as being the fastest growing Mariachi Music program outside of Mexico, currently integrating over 300 participating students ages 9-18. The program first became popular among Hispanic & Latino students; but every year the program sees increased participation by non-Latino students as well.

This year the program was honored to receive a Golden Apple award – an educational achievement award equivalent to a Grammy.

Thanks to its many local supporters, the program has been able to continually provide

access to musical instruments free of cost to all its students who are in turn encouraged to pay it forward by modeling good citizenship, volunteering, and performing at community events, senior centers, colleges & universities, and non-profits.

Mariachi Huenachi is the advanced mariachi music class at Wenatchee High School and has earned a reputation as the best high school mariachi group in the State of Washington.

The group, under the direction of Ramon Rivera and Aaron Davis, has performed extensively across the Northwest including at Seattle Seahawks and Mariners games, has shared the stage with the Grammy Award winning group, Los Tigres del Norte, and has opened for Mariachi Vargas – known as the best Mariachi in the world.

The Brentano Quartet has a strong interest in both very

old and very new music.
