I’m writing that a month or two earlier than I normally do since we didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to bring our audiences the national tour of If/Then as part of our 2016-2017 Bushnell Broadway Series. Hartford is the nextto-last stop in the current leg of the tour, and we’re especially pleased to welcome UConn alumna Jackie Burns back to Connecticut as she leads the cast of this captivating new musical. When I look at the scope and variety of our Series this year, I feel like we can truly say we are bringing the best of Broadway to Connecticut. Four of our shows are recent Tony-winners for Best Musical, Play, or Musical Revival, and we have productions ranging from the traditional (The King & I ) to the contemporary (If/Then and Fun Home). We’re also bringing back, off-Series, two of the most popular and acclaimed shows of the last decade, The Book of Mormon and Jersey Boys. Thanks once again to Farmington Bank and Travelers for generously sponsoring the Broadway Series. Summer is also the time when we’re able to get some maintenance and renovation projects accomplished in our performance halls, public spaces, and backstage areas. If you entered via the box office today, the most significant change you noticed is our more open, welcoming, reconfigured ticket windows. In this age of on-line sales and payment by credit card, the need for thick glass windows, unwelcoming barriers, and chatting through microphones has gone by the wayside. We plan to continue to create an even more open and welcoming atmosphere at The Bushnell, where any obstacles separating our guests from our always-ready-to-help staff members will continue to be removed. As always, thank you for spending time with us at The Bushnell. We welcome any ideas and suggestions you have to make your visits here always feel like you’re coming home. Sincerely, David R.

Sensory Friendly performance on September 25 at 10am is sponsored by Hospital for Special Care and Walgreens with a special thanks to Autism Speaks. To say that BILL BLAGG has had a magical life would be no exaggeration. From the moment he received his first magic kit in 1986, his world was never the same. After years of endless practice and persistence, Bill professionally launched his magic performing career in 1996, at the ripe age of sixteen. In just two short years of professional performance, Bill developed a stage presence that made him a stand out in the magic community, due in part to his off-the-cuff personality and his high energy performance style. He chose to put his skills to the test in 1998, by entering the adult stage competition at the Abbott Magic Get Together in Colon, MI, which is also hailed as the magic capital of the world. Magic had been Bill’s life for over twelve years, he had performed hundreds of shows, and it all hinged on a single, five minute routine; his dancing handkerchief. He had just turned eighteen, barely old enough to enter the competition, and he was about to make magic history by becoming the youngest contestant to ever win the prestigious event. Following his win, Bill never looked back. While intensely studying to earn a degree in performing arts and communications at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI, Bill was busy planning and staging his next big venture; his own ninetyminute, grand-scale magic and illusion show he called “Beyond Imagination.” After graduating with honors, Bill took his illusion production on the road to select cities throughout the Midwest. He virtually sold out all of the shows, with his unique brand of grand-scale magic and illusion. Entertainment Weekly summed up Bill’s appeal by saying, “Bill Blagg has a charm and style all his own; he’s definitely the best kept secret in magic!” Bill prides himself with being able to consistently create and stage new illusions to thrill his audiences year after year. Through his countless stage appearances, Bill consistently draws standing ovations from audiences who have experienced his unique talents and performing arts ability. Today we are pleased to welcome Bill Blagg and his team to the stage to present Bill’s latest magical production “The Magic of Bill Blagg LIVE! Sit back, relax and enjoy the magic and illusions of the nation’s top magical star…Bill Blagg! *Following the performance there will be an autograph session in the lobby with Bill Blagg. **Bill Blagg appears by arrangement with Shaw Entertainment Group 34 | B U S H NEL L PR OM PTE R ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS 100% AUTOMATED MARKETING Utilizing Your Current Satisfied Customers To Drive New Business GUARANTEED RESULTS!

Trees conserve energy in the summer, and save you money. Properly planted trees can cut your air conditioning costs by 15–35%. 2. Trees help clear the air. Trees produce the oxygen we breathe, and reduce air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and by retaining particulates. 3. Trees bring songbirds close by. Birdsong will fill the air as trees provide nesting sites, food, and cover for countless species. 4. Trees around your home can increase its value by up to 15% or more. Studies of comparable houses with and without trees place a markedly higher value on those whose yards are sheltered by trees. 5. Trees help clean our rivers and streams. Trees hold soil in place and reduce polluted runoff into our waterways. 6. Trees conserve energy in the winter. Trees can slow cold winter winds, and can cut your heating costs 10–20%. 7. Trees fight global warming. As they grow, trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the major contributor to global warming. Trees planted near our homes and in our communities moderate temperatures and reduce the need for air conditioning and heating produced by burning fossil fuels, a major source of excess CO2. 8. Trees make your home, and your neighborhood, more beautiful. Trees mark the changing seasons, and add grace and seasonal color. Trees make a house feel like a home. 40 | B U S H NEL L PR OM PTE R 9.
