welcome As we celebrate our sixth Spotlight Series season, I can’t help but recall 2009. It was an exciting time for Broken Arrow and its school district when the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center opened its doors to welcome a variety of shows to its stage, including renowned Broadway shows, musicians and students of Broken Arrow Public Schools. Then I fast forward to where we are today. The BAPAC has hosted hundreds of school events, presented numerous professional shows and held countless community events. I’m certain the success of this facility wouldn’t be possible without the commitment from BAPS Superintendent Dr. Jarod Mendenhall, Broken Arrow’s administration and school board members, city leaders, corporate sponsors and you, the patron. I am thankful for your dedication and enthusiasm for what we do here at the BAPAC. Your support in our foundational years laid the groundwork for future generations to be able to enjoy entertainment at the highest level. This season is sure to be one where anything goes. Running August to May, you have the opportunity to attend eight incredible Spotlight Series shows, four UPCLOSE Series concerts and numerous student productions. From a two-night concert event with hometown girl Kristin Chenoweth to an eclectic mix of Broadway shows to an eighth grade vocal music performance, this year is sure to be a hallmark of pure talent. Thank you for choosing to spend your evening with us. We hope you’ll enjoy tonight’s show. See you around the theatre,

BAPAC gives back to community, schools “Bringing the world to Broken Arrow” is the mission of the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center (BAPAC). Through its programs and initiatives, the BAPAC provides educational outreach opportunities for Broken Arrow Public Schools (BAPS) students and artistic enrichment for the Broken Arrow community. “Our top priority is to serve the students and staff of Broken Arrow, but we also welcome the community to utilize the facility,” said Dr. Jarod Mendenhall, Superintendent for Broken Arrow Public Schools. “Not many other performing arts venues can lay claim to being such a valuable asset for a wide variety of patrons.” Since BAPS opened the facility in 2009, the BAPAC remains the official location for student assemblies, fine arts productions, concerts and staff seminars. Through its Spotlight Series, the BAPAC also welcomes talented performers such as Amy Grant and serves as the destination for national touring productions like “Memphis.” Additionally, the facility hosts many events for community partners such as the Broken Arrow police and fire departments, reinforcing the bridge between the community and its schools. It is also available for rental to outside organizations, providing a top notch venue for recitals, conferences and performances. “For five years now, we’ve served as a partner in the cultural and economic liveliness of Broken Arrow,” said Mark Frie, Executive Director of the BAPAC. “With our professional Spotlight Series shows, community facility rentals and nearly 300 school-related events bringing

more than 70,000 patrons through the doors each year, we hope to continually increase traffic for surrounding businesses, hotels and restaurants, making good on our promise to be the cornerstone of the arts and entertainment district.” Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce President Wes Smithwick agrees. “Quality of life is a primary focus for the Broken Arrow Chamber,” Smithwick said. “The Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center is a place for entertainment and education, both of which enrich the community by providing a diverse arts experience in a one-of-a-kind venue. As the Rose District continues to grow and expand, the BAPAC will be vital to the entertainment happening in the area.” Located in the heart of downtown Broken Arrow, the BAPAC has served as the foundation for the developing Rose District. “The Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center is a critical element in positioning the Rose District as an arts and entertainment destination,” said Lisa Frein, Director of Downtown Development for Broken Arrow Economic Development Corporation. “A city our size deserves a world-class performing arts center like the BAPAC, and we’re glad the city and schools had the foresight to make it a priority years ago.” Attracting nationally renowned artists to Broken Arrow provides district students with educational opportunities through events such as cast talkbacks and master classes.

(Right) Kevin Spencer with “Spencers: Theatre of Illusion” visits Rhoades Elementary with his “Healing Is Magic” program, geared towards helping physicallychallenged students.

“With each performer we bring to Broken Arrow, we find opportunities for students to connect with him or her,” Frie said. “We hope to inspire our own students to pursue their own dreams of becoming a world class performer one day.” Broken Arrow students have worked with legendary trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, learned about life on the road from “Bring It On: The Musical” cast members, tap danced with troupe Tap Dogs and sang with Emmywinning Kristin Chenoweth. In 2010, illusionist Kevin Spencer visited students with autism for one week, teaching them magic tricks and helping build motor skills. The BAPAC also provides opportunities for unique partnerships with performing artists. In 2013, Kristin Chenoweth, a 1986 Broken Arrow High School alumna, committed her philanthropy efforts to support fine arts and community relations in her hometown, establishing the Kristin Chenoweth Fund for Arts and Education. Chenoweth’s future endeavors include after-school and summer arts institutes, scholarship programs and more. More recently, Chenoweth held an educational master class, graciously lending her years of experience and expertise to the region’s most aspiring high school and college fine arts students. The event raised more than $35,000, helping nearly 200 BAPS students travel to New York City and perform at the famed Carnegie Hall. “The generosity Ms. Chenoweth has shown for our town, her alma mater and the BAPAC is such a gift

for our community,” Frie said. “Her passion for helping students pursue their love of the arts is immense, and we are grateful for her support.” Broken Arrow Public Schools continues to focus on opportunities to “bring the world to Broken Arrow” for the benefit of its students. “To see these renowned artists come to our performing arts center is wonderful but the real joy is to watch as they inspire and educate Broken Arrow students,” said Dr. Mendenhall. “Through the BAPAC and our top notch fine arts programs, we provide our students with experiences they might not otherwise have. That is the real purpose and value of the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center – to open our students’ eyes to all that is possible.”

Jumpers

The Time Jumpers was established in Nashville in 1998 by an assemblage of high-dollar studio musicians who wanted to spend some spare time jamming with their sonically gifted buddies. The notion of building a rabidly devoted following was the last thing on their minds, but it happened. The current edition of The Time Jumpers includes almost a dozen members, each a master of his (and, in one case, her) instrument. Alphabetically they are

BOONE

DECEMBER 19, 2014

The holidays will be filled with the sounds of Debby Boone, multiple-Grammy award winner and star of the studio and stage. In 1997, Debby Boone earned instant fame when “You Light Up My Life” became one of the biggest songs in history, charting No. 1 on Billboard for 10 straight weeks and selling more than four million albums. That year, she received the Grammy for Best New Artist. In 2008, the song was ranked No. 7 on Billboard’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Top-Charting Songs. Additionally, Debby has appeared a number of times on the stage in New York, including “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” in 1982, Lincoln Center’s 30th anniversary production of “The Sound of Music” in 1989 and as Rizzo in the long-running revival of “Grease” in 1996.


JANUARY 25, 2015 All aboard! The saucy and splendid production of “Anything Goes” is a winner of three 2011 Tony awards including Best Musical Revival and Choreography and is making its way to Broken Arrow on Jan. 25. This musical is about crazy antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. Peppering this Cole Porter first-class comedy are some of musical theater’s most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.” The AP exclaims it as, “So DELIGHTFUL, So DELICIOUS, So DELOVELY!”

anythingGOEStheS For the first-time in Spotlight Series history, the BAPAC Foundation is welcoming a play to its lineup. The prequel to Peter Pan called “Peter and the Starcatcher” flies through Broken Arrow on Feb. 24 in its Oklahoma debut. Hailed by The New York Times as “the most exhilarating storytelling on Broadway in decades,” this comedy takes a hilarious romp through Neverland. Winner of five Tony awards, this is the innovative and imaginative play based on the best-selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. A company of a dozen actors play more than a hundred unforgettable characters, all on a journey to answer the century-old question: How did Peter Pan become The Boy Who Never Grew Up?

ROSES

the

After a year of settling into its newly rebranded name, the Rose District continues blooming with brand-new restaurant and shopping options, giving patrons more reasons to spend their evenings congregating on Main Street, Broken Arrow, before and after Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center shows. “We have physically changed the landscape of Broken Arrow and mentally changed the way people think about us,” said Lisa Frein, director of downtown development. “Downtown Broken Arrow found a way to bring back Main Street with a renewed energy to attract and entertain individuals who want a vibrant atmosphere just as much as they want a good meal, unique retailers or to see a great show.” The Rose District designation was established in honor of Broken Arrow’s rich history, a time when residents beautified the city’s sparse prairie land with rose buses, trees and flowers. Since then, Main Street has stayed true to its heritage with a picturesque landscape, due to a $3.7 million improvement project completed late last year. The transformations include wider sidewalks and patios, decorative street lighting and an abundance of roses. During the fiscal year ending 2014, the City of Broken Arrow collected nearly $111,000 in new sales tax generated from Rose District businesses,

more than doubling what was collected in 2012 before the revitalization. That number is expected to increase as Broken Arrow celebrates new additions to the Rose District. The latest businesses include Pinot’s Palette, a “sip and paint” studio; In the Raw, the popular sushi restaurant known across Oklahoma; and The Rooftop, a 3,500 square-foot bar and grill with indoor and outdoor seating options. The Rooftop specializes in artisanal style pizzas and is owned by Jason Scarpa of Main Street Tavern, an alreadyestablished restaurant on Main Street. Also recently announced was the construction of a mixed-use facility called District @222. This fourstory project includes Andolini’s Pizzeria, which is the sole retail user on the first level, and two stories of apartments above. The development will be positioned between In the Raw and the recently opened Spoke House Bicycles. Located at 222 S. Main St., this space is expected to open early 2015. “The Rose District continues to prove itself as a premier and ever-expanding arts and entertainment district, and now more than ever, I believe with its shops, restaurants and performing arts center, it is quickly becoming a destination location,” BAPAC Executive Director Mark Frie said. For a complete listing of downtown businesses and events, please visit www.rosedistrict.com.

“When we started our journey on Main Street 10 years ago, many buildings were empty and needed much attention; however, there was still that sense of community. Closing your eyes, you can still see people walking up and down the street, greeting each other and being part of something great. Ten years later that feeling remains, but now, the buildings aren’t empty. Main Street has grown into something bigger. It’s a place where people feel at home. More than anything, we at Nouveau enjoy the time spent visiting with our customers. Being located in the heart of the Rose District is truly like being part of the sweetest place in town.”
