Since 1990, the Performing Arts Series at Johnson County Community
College, or PAS, has presented an incredible array of concerts, shows and
events, right here in the heart of Johnson County, Kansas. From Broadway
to classical, there’s something for everyone! During our fantastic 25th
Anniversary year, we experienced the highest annual ticket sales achieved
to date! With new friends and returning patrons, we move ahead, as
wonderful news and celebrations continue.
This summer, we’ll renovate the performance halls. Yardley Hall and
Polsky Theatre, lobby, dressing rooms and Green Room will get new
carpet, paint and recovered seats. While this happens, make a gift to
the “Take A Seat” campaign! For a contribution of $650, you’ll receive
a personalized nameplate on the back of a theatre seat in Yardley Hall.
As always, the college supports our infrastructure, and we are asked to
raise funds and sell tickets to support programming, so money raised will
support future artist visits, right here in Johnson County! Help us reach
our goal of 1,000 named seats! More information on page 25.

Friends Package: $19-$28
Package: $20-$29
Individual: $23-$33
Named one of the top 10 performances in 2014 by The New York Times,
BASETRACK LIVE traces the lives of real-life characters of AJ and Melissa Czubai,
a young Marine and his wife. Follow their journey through his deployment to
Afghanistan and back home again, the birth of their child while he is overseas
and his injury that sends him home. This extraordinary work of documentary
theater is an ambitious collaboration between award-winning theatre company
En Garde Arts and corpsmen from the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. BASETRACK
LIVE powerfully portrays the impact of war on veterans, and their families and
does not represent these characters as either heroes or victims — instead,
it shows a complicated and sensitive portrayal of how war affects us all.
A partnership with JCCC Veteran & Military Student Resource Center
“Brings the gritty, brutal truths alive
in ways that nothing I’ve read or
seen has succeeded in doing.”

WICHITA GRAND OPERA
LA BOHÈME
by Giacomo Puccini
An Opera in Four Acts
Sung in Italian with English supertitles
8 P.M. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15
Package: $40-$49
Individual: $45-$55
Hey, the opera that inspired the musical “Rent” has to be on your bucket list, right?
It is 1830 in Paris and the rent is due, but the money is not there. Puccini’s
unforgettable tale of love, youth and tragic loss returns in a classic production of
La Bohème, starring legendary baritone and Kansas-born Samuel Ramey. Young
Parisian lovers (Zvetelina Vassileva and Alexey Sayapin) appear in the bohemian
setting that brings the Latin Quarter to life and twists a tale of love that sparkles
with merriment and ends wracked with despair. Puccini’s magical music will
fascinate and move.
Friends Hospitality at 6:45 p.m.
Preshow Talk at 7 p.m.
AN EVENING WITH GARRISON KEILLOR
8 P.M. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21
Package: $43-$79
Individual: $48-$88
America’s favorite author, storyteller, humorist and radio personality,
Garrison Keillor will retire from his iconic radio show, A Prairie Home
Companion in July, and he’ll hit the road, visiting venues all over
the country. Even when he talks about growing old, it seems Keillor
never grew up. Come hear him wax nostalgic about his home in
Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, and “late-life fatherhood.” With a
wonderful, dry sense of humor (and sometimes with music),
Keillor captivates audiences using his unique blend of comedy,
class, charisma and wisdom.
“He’s a big, tall guy and somehow
the persona of rumpled writer and
English major comes through even
in dark suit, brightened by a red tie,
red socks and red shoes — a hint of
unconventionality that winks at the
audience.”
— Peoria Journal Star

SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY
HEARTS CLUB BAND
Art of Time Ensemble, featuring Steven Page (The BareNaked Ladies)
and Wesley Stace, aka John Wesley Harding
Package: $31-$40
Individual: $35-$45
Fusing high art and popular culture, this 12-member ensemble will re-imagine the Beatles’
groundbreaking album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in a world-class orchestra
collaboration, led by internationally renowned concert pianist Andrew Burashko. One part
tone poem, one part rock opera, Sgt. Pepper is a cornerstone of rock ’n’ roll history including
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, When I’m Sixty-Four and With a Little Help from My Friends.
These arrangements affectionately celebrate the music while preserving the vocal harmonies
and musical elements that earned its designation by Rolling Stone as “the most important
rock ’n’ roll album ever made.”

LED ZEPPELIN II
8 P.M. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10
POLSKY THEATRE
Package: $18
Individual: $20
For this season’s concert, the band performs the works of Led Zeppelin II
the same way an orchestra performs the works of Mozart. They don’t bother
with imitation or impersonation. The bands are big – upwards of 11 pieces.
The research on the albums is extensive, and the group goes to great lengths
to reproduce each and every sound live, no tape or computers, note for note,
cut for cut.
It all began over a clean pile of laundry
when Jessie was immediately annoyed
by Gerard’s OCD folding tendencies and
the rest is history. Join Jessie and Gerard
as they share their ideas about building
a life with your love, all in a faith-filled
context. Witness this witty team as they
fill in a few extra marital tidbits and tales
in a live podcast taping on the Polsky
Theatre stage. Marriage is funny, but the
right mix of love + laughter is the best
recipe for a healthy relationship.

POLSKY THEATRE

photo by Dan White
Package: $22
Individual: $25
We welcome Kansas City-based ensemble Bach Aria Soloists for a very special
program, created especially for the JCCC Performing Arts Series.
L’Histoire du soldat or The Soldier’s Tale is a theatrical work performed by two actors
and a dancer accompanied by a septet of instruments. The piece was conceived by Igor Stravinsky and Swiss writer C. F. Ramuz based on a Russian folk tale,
The Runaway Soldier and the Devil. During World War I, a young soldier trades his
violin to the devil in exchange for great wealth. Full of the wit and humor of Stravinsky,
rhythms are always shifting, the music incorporates elements of jazz, Viennese waltz
and ragtime. The violin is guttural and raw, the clarinet seems to have a will of its own
and the piano acts as a rhythm section, full of barroom “honky tonk.”
Bach Aria Soloists is the adventurous chamber music ensemble dedicated to presenting
the genius and relevance of Johann Sebastian Bach, his contemporaries and those he
inspired through performances, collaborations and BachReach education.

THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE
ANIMATED FILM WITH LIVE ACCOMPANIMENT
8 P.M. FRIDAY, MARCH 3 | POLSKY THEATRE
Package: $22
Individual: $25
Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville transports audiences to the
exciting streets of 1920’s Paris and Le Jazz Hot. This much beloved
animated film is screened as composer Benoit Charest leads the
orchestra in a live performance of his original score for the film,
including his Academy Award-nominated best song.
Kidnapped by mysterious, square-shouldered henchmen, a Tour de
France cyclist named Champion is spirited across the ocean to the
teeming metropolis of Belleville. His near-sighted grandmother and
faithful dog follow his trail and are taken in by a trio of eccentric
jazz-era divas. The motley sleuths follow the clues to an underground
speakeasy, where they entertain the crowd. The chase is on!
“Extraordinary! …
A bracing blend
of silliness and
sophistication!
It’s comic, touching
and a visual knockout.”

commissioning new works from world-class contemporary choreographers.
In 2013 choreographer Loni Landon was awarded a Choreography Fellowship
with BODYTRAFFIC from the Princess Grace Foundation. DAKHABRAKHA
“It’s not every day
that, even before a
company finished
the first piece, I think:
‘And now I have
a new company
to love.’”
— The Herald Sun, Susan Broili
8 P.M. FRIDAY, MARCH 10 | POLSKY THEATRE
Package: $22
Individual: $25
DakhaBrakha is a world music quartet from Kiev, Ukraine.
The name DakhaBrakha is original, outstanding and authentic at
the same time; it means “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language.
Accompanied by Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian
traditional instrumentation, the quartet’s astonishingly powerful
and uncompromising vocal range creates a tongue-in-cheek,
transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian culture.
“The group mixes everything from punk-pop to
traditional Ukrainian songs in cool yet beguiling
textures, often with the close harmonies usually
associated with Balkan music. But it’s really the
live shows that take DakhaBrakha beyond mere
curiosity to utter brilliance.”
— National Public Radio

SEVEN FINGERS OF THE HAND
CUISINE & CONFESSIONS
8 P.M. SATURDAY, MARCH 11
Package: $31-$40
Individual: $35-$45
Circus on a human scale, the Montreal-based circus company Les 7 doigts de la main
is known for placing the extraordinary element of circus in ordinary contexts.
Their newest creation, Cuisine & Confessions colorfully displays that life happens
in the kitchen and that storytelling can happen through food. In this show, the
audience’s most visceral senses are heightened by high-flying, eye-popping
acrobatics, elaborate choreography, and pulsating music coupled with visuals
of mixing batter, baking cookies and sprinkling oregano. The show reminds
us that each individual is composed of a unique set of ingredients and that
the kitchen is an iconic meeting point that spans generations and countries
throughout the world.
“A remarkably familial, interactive
ensemble piece. The audience leaves
the theatre nibbling the banana bread,
happily sniffing the smells of baking
as they go, wanting to share Cuisine
& Confessions with friends.”
— Montreal Gazette

Founded in Berlin in 1982 and recognized today as one of the world’s leading
chamber orchestras, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, or Akamus, enjoys
an unprecedented history of success. The ensemble, which performs regularly
in Europe’s leading musical centers, has toured Asia, North America and
South America.
For the co-presentation of Akamus between the PAS and Friends of
Chamber Music-Kansas City, the program is Foreign Affairs – Characters of
the Baroque, exploring the richness of the familiar and the foreign in culture
through the means of music, sometimes exotic, sometimes ironic, but always
diverting and highly musical.

CELEBRATING 100TH BIRTHDAYS
OF DIZZY GILLESPIE, ELLA FITZGERALD,
MONGO SANTAMARIA AND THELONIOUS MONK
7 P.M. SUNDAY, MARCH 19
Package: $27-$36
Individual: $30-$40
Light 100 candles and celebrate the centennial birthdays of
greats Thelonius Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and Mongo Santamaria — all born in the glorious year of 1917.
Jazz 100 centers on the musical direction of Danilo Perez, former
pianist for Dizzy Gillespie, whose musical DNA also includes Monk
and Santamaria. An A-list band and the deep, resonating voice of
Lizz Wright will intertwine with those early strands of jazz history.
Also featured are Chris Potter (tenor sax), Avishai Cohen (trumpet),
Wycliffe Gordon (trombone), Ben Street (bass), Adam Cruz (drums)
and Roman Diaz (percussion).
“The luxurious dimensions of Lizz Wright’s voice
— a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you
might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or
butter-soft leather — have typically come with
a counterweight of righteous uplift.” — The New York Times (on Lizz Wright)

The Performing Arts Series is thrilled to partner once again with the Heart of
America Shakespeare Festival for a script-in-hand performance of The Tempest,
by William Shakespeare. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero,
rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place
using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous
tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of
Naples to the island. There, his machinations bring about revelations, redemption
and romance, with a cast of time-honored Shakespearean characters: heroes,
villains, a princess and a magician.
The Heart of America Shakespeare Festival is celebrating its 25th year and
is delighted to collaborate with JCCC’s Performing Arts Series as one of
its “25 for the 25th” — performances and events which are providing
Shakespeare all year — presentations in all arts disciplines and focused
on Shakespeare-inspired or -derived works.

Ragtime and opera join hands as conductor Rick Benjamin and his 11-piece

a lively past creating “America’s Original Music.” Benjamin’s scores recreate the
syncopated sounds of early musical theatre, silent cinema and vintage dance.
Celebrate the legend! For generations, the name George M. Cohan has conjured
the rollicking magic that is Broadway. And this legend is real: as America’s
beloved tunesmith and original “Song and Dance Man,” Cohan actually was the
father of modern musical theater. This exciting PRO program, starring Colin
Pritchard, offers a stirring look at George M’s amazing life and music – Give My
Regards to Broadway, H-a-rr-i-gan, The Yankee Doodle Boy, Over There! and
all the rest. You’re A Grand Old Rag is a tap-dancing bravura performance that
brings audiences to their feet!

rchestra pit seating includes preshow
conversation with the artist: Time to be announced
To some people, Bobby McFerrin will always be
the guy who sang that iconic, earworm song; and
he is that guy; he wrote and sang that global No.
1 hit more than 20 years ago. But if that song is all
you know about Bobby McFerrin, we suggest the
following: Go to YouTube, type in Bobby’s name,
sit back and prepare for a serious boggling of the
mind. You’ll join the millions who have marveled
at Bobby’s stunning rendition of the Bach prelude
Ave Maria. You’ll find his unparalleled interpretations
of Beatles songs, his collaborations with everyone
and his condensed version of The Wizard of Oz.
Bobby McFerrin is an eternal seeker, always defying
the music industry’s practical impulse to pigeonhole
artists. His diversity and range are incomparable.
His performance in Yardley Hall will undoubtedly
“make you happy!”

An extraordinary and uniquely gifted pianist from Bali, Joey Alexander marks his recording debut with the release
of My Favorite Things, nominated as Best Instrumental Jazz
Album for the 2016 GRAMMY® Awards. Joey brings a delicate,
profound and soulful touch to his own interpretation of such
classics as Giant Steps, Over the Rainbow and of course,
My Favorite Things, showcasing his talents as an arranger,
composer and bandleader. Giant Steps earned a 2016
GRAMMY® nomination for Best Improvised Jazz Solo.
Joey taught himself to play piano by listening with his father
to classic jazz albums. His father soon recognized his son’s
gift and his ability to grasp complicated musical concepts.
Joey began attending jam sessions with senior musicians and
he flourished, as did his love of playing jazz. The world has
taken notice of this phenomenal and exciting pianist with the
astonishing technique and soulful sound.

“The shows that Johnson County Community College offers to younger students provide them with educational
programs that are interesting and involve the student in their own learning. They can see the learning potential
outside of the classrooms and find lifelong learning. The Math Maniac show was rigorous and interactive for the
students and they continued to talk about the show many days later. We will continue to look for opportunities
to visit your campus and to share with our students how achievable college is for them.”
