The Center for Arts in Natick
Annual Report 2012
Our MissiOn
We believe the arts are essential to a complete human experience and to the creation of a vibrant, healthy community.
TCAN serves the Metrowest region by increasing opportunities to experience, participate in, and learn about the arts. To
this end, TCAN strives to present arts programs of the highest standard that are available to everyone.
TCAN dedicates its resources to providing community access to diverse arts programs, reducing barriers to attendance,
and building appreciation through arts education.

AnnuAl repOrt 2012
The Center for Arts in Natick is flourishing.
The designation of Natick Center as a Cultural District by
the Massachusetts Cultural Council in 2012 recognizes the
measurable impact of Natick’s arts organizations on our
community.
We were pleased to end our 15th year in strong financial shape.
A surge in TCAN membership lifted our ranks to over 1,600
contributing members from across the region and beyond. We
were fortunate to receive generous support from current and
new leadership Circle members. A growing list of corporate
sponsors and generous grants from Nellie Mae Foundation and
Foundation for MetroWest provided important underwriting
support to maintain the high standard of our programming.
The 2012 fiscal year included a wide variety of arts programs
that set new records for attendance. We enjoyed memorable
popular music performances by Ben Taylor, Joan osborne,
english Beat, Susannah Hoffs, Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals
and Southside Johnny. Artists as varied as George Winston,
Buckwheat Zydeco and the acclaimed Swingle Singers made
appearances on the TCAN stage. We introduced the TCAN
Young Masters Series featuring the next generation of classical
musicians. And a strong season by the TCAN players ended on
a musical note with a classic production of Stephen Sondheim’s
“Company.”
We are grateful to TCAN’s board, donors, and corporate
sponsors for enabling us to provide affordable access to the
arts. Without their support, we would not be able to provide
the valuable programs that enhance Natick’s culture.
Thank you to our members, patrons and sponsors, and to
our dedicated staff and volunteers. I deeply appreciate your
support and hard work that allows our organization to thrive.
We are proud to be a part of the Natick community.

In our 15th year, compelling and entertaining artists illuminated the TCAN stage.
The varied and high quality performances culminated in an unforgettable benefit
performance from ReNT stars Adam pascal and Anthony Rapp. From the soothing
harmonies of acapella to the soulful sounds of rock, programming appealed to a
wide range of patrons and communities.The classical series grew in strength with
the introduction of the Young Masters Series, including violinist Hye-Jin Kim. Jimmy
Tingle and other notable comedians brought down the house with irreverent and
no-holds-barred routines. From nationally recognized artists to local rising stars,
the honest and energetic nature of every musician was showcased at TCAN.

stop kiss
March 2-11, 2012
An unexpected romance between two
young women is shattered when an assault
leaves one in a coma. The other is left to
piece together the story of their friendship,
and find out what her happiness is worth
to her. This story of charmingly unfocused
Callie and her friendship with Sara, a schoolteacher from St. louis, is a gentle, affectionate work, with a blithe sense of comedy.
Directed by Margaret umbsen.

the FinAl Adventure
June 1-10, 2012
Could the ultimately logical, thoroughly
dispassionate Holmes who has survived
poison, pistols and other precarious perils
actually be laid low by his love for a woman?
The villainous professor Moriarty thinks so.
And despite the best efforts of Holmes and
his loyal sidekick Dr. Watson, Moriarty may
just be right. This decorated play offered
suspense, mystery, drama and a healthy dose
of humor to enthusiastic crowds each night.
Directed by Matt Cederholm.
compAny
November 9-18, 2012
Set in upper Manhattan, Company is a
funny, sophisticated exploration of love and
commitment as seen through the eyes of
a charming perpetual bachelor questioning his single state and his enthusiastically
married, slightly envious friends. With a wise
and witty Stephen Sondheim score including
“Another Hundred people,” “Side by Side by
Side,” “The ladies Who lunch” and “Being
Alive,” Company offers musical comedy at
its finest. Directed by Erin Huelskamp.

DevelOping CreAtivity
Through affordable and accessible education programs, TCAN has helped foster
community expression and provided a place for people of all ages to cultivate
their artistic talents. In 2012, TCAN expanded its vocal and instrumental
instruction through the intergenerational Sound & Spirit choral ensemble and
RockWorks, an experimental rock band workshop for teens. With successful
long term partnerships with the Television Workshop, pocket Full of Tales (now
in its 12th year at TCAN), Walnut Hill School, and other public schools, TCAN
has nurtured the creativity and confidence in students who took the stage. This
encouragement helped students explore expression of the self at its deepest core,
while enabling students who might not otherwise interact to cross demographic
boundaries, including age, race, geography, income, gender, and ability.
firehouse
preserving histOry
When TCAN purchased and restored Natick’s Central Fire House in 2001, it also
accepted the charge to care for this historic building. In 2012, TCAN invested in
a Capital Systems Replacement plan to identify repairs and improvements that
will be required during our next 20 years in this facility, and budget for them
accordingly. To improve the energy efficiency of the Firehouse, a comprehensive
energy audit was conducted that lead to the replacement of some stage lighting
with modern LED fixtures. A complete replacement of the incandescent house
lights and dimming system is now underway.
looking to the future, TCAN’s Board of Directors approved the goals for an
updated Strategic plan that included moving forward with a capital campaign
to fund the renovation of the building’s second floor. TCAN completed a
programming strategy, a detailed business plan and preliminary drawings of the
new performance space. TCAN will also invest in upgrades to its main audio
system with support from a grant provided by Foundation for Metrowest.
culturAl district
on August 22, the Massachusetts Cultural
Council recognized Natick Center as one
of 13 designated cultural districts. The
late 19th-century neo-gothic architecture
and “quintessentially New england” town
common distinguished Natick from other
Massachusetts towns. Called “majestic” and
“visually impressive” by the MCC, the district
is a culmination of over a decade of historic
preservation and public and private investment
in the town center’s streetscape and façade
improvements, and cultural facilities.
Recognized as the “premier performing arts
center in MetroWest,” TCAN serves as the
anchor for this hub of cultural activity that draws
an increasing number of tourists and patrons
from surrounding communities. In 2012, TCAN
drew over 21,000 attendees to Natick Center,
while other events like Natick open Studios,
the Art Walk, and historic walking tours created
a cohesive schedule of cultural activities.
“TCAN has provided a much-needed additional performance and event venue for
our public schools, local nonprofit organizations, town functions, and community gatherings.
We are very appreciative of this resource in our town.”
– Martha White, Town Administrator

A smile in every seAt
The arts play a crucial role in the health and
well-being of all members of our community,

for everyone. Through partnerships with
the Natick Service Council and the South
Middlesex opportunity Council of Framingham (SMoC), the TCAN Smile in every Seat
program distributes free tickets and tuition
vouchers to families and other members of
our community facing economic hardship. In
the first year of the program, NSC and SMOC
clients enjoyed more than 20 TCAN events,
including family shows and community theater
as well as national touring acts. TCAN is

As the arts community in Natick has grown, TCAN has developed significant
partnerships with many local organizations. The Walnut Hill School for the
Arts, an international leader in arts education, has evolved as one of TCAN’s
key strategic partners. For a number of years, the two organizations have
collaborated to deliver quality theater education and programming to the
families of MetroWest. And in October, TCAN held its Annual Benefit in the
Walnut Hill facilities, offering a master class by the artists for Walnut Hill students.
The principals at both organizations have begun planning for an expanded
partnership, sharing resources and developing new programming in film, dance,
theater, and arts education.
“By offering free access to high quality music, theatre,
and arts programs, TCAN significantly enhances the
quality of life of our clients and the
entire community.”

Ticket sales and membership provide strong evidence of TCAN’s impact on
Natick and the surrounding communities.
The Town of Natick represents 18% of the 24,000 households now attending
events at TCAN, while other cities and towns of MetroWest comprise 27%.
The remainder – a nearly astounding 55% – travel to TCAN from greater Boston,
Worcester, surrounding communities in Massachusetts and other New england states.
Support from donors, members, and volunteers is what makes TCAN’s arts and
education programs possible. Nearly one-third of patrons attending events at
TCAN each year provide additional support through participation in our growing
membership program.
