Enrich your quality of life!
Circle of Honor Donors
The City of Lancaster and the Lancaster Performing Arts Center
Foundation would like to extend special recognition to the businesses
and individuals who are committed members of the Circle of Honor.
The contributions of these donors have enhanced the theatre experience
and quality of life for all patrons.
From the Mayor of Lancaster
The City of Lancaster has navigated the turbulent waters of a
struggling economy and, in the process, continued to advance
the Arts in the Antelope Valley. We have grown and flourished
as a community with deep-seeded respect for our history and
our culture. This is evidenced by the multitude of performances
drawing crowds to the Antelope Valley’s entertainment Mecca,
the Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC). Our City is
committed to further enhance the livability and quality of the
community by providing a level of arts and entertainment which
engages, uplifts and inspires us all.
Cultivation of the arts is an essential element in the vibrancy
of our community, one which is key to residents from all walks
of life. As such, the arts must be vehemently supported and
sustained. The City of Lancaster is working hand-in-hand with
the LPAC Foundation as an unyielding cohesive force driven to
expose the Valley’s youth to the performing arts. Thousands of
youth are impacted annually through the Arts for Youth Program,
which provides for scholarships, bus funds, school shows, and
various outreach projects that make reaching our City’s most
precious citizens possible.
I am deeply appreciative of all the efforts and contributions of
our patrons, sponsors, Foundation members, and staff, which
enable us to continue to flourish as a progressive City centered
on the betterment of lives through the appreciation of the Arts.
I especially wish to thank Ralph Bozigian, Lou Bozigian and
Scott Ehrlich for their tireless dedication to the Arts in the City
of Lancaster.
Sincerely,
R. Rex Parris, Mayor

From the LPAC Foundation President
Supporting the Arts in our community is a rewarding endeavor.
One of the Foundation’s priorities has been to focus attention on
bringing the experience and enrichment of the performing arts
to students across the Antelope Valley. It is through the generous
support of the community that enables us to continue in our
efforts, providing for opportunities such as: school performances,
ticket scholarships for students, outreaches (artists in schools),
workshops and now transportation assistance. With school
budgets being widely cut, the LPAC Foundation was pleased to
announce the addition of bus funding assistance to area schools
this past year.
In addition to supporting LPAC’s Arts for Youth program, the
Lancaster Performing Arts Center Foundation has provided
over two million dollars in equipment, facility upgrades and
programming enhancements since the Center’s grand opening.
Please consider becoming one of our partners, or reaffirm
your commitment to supporting the arts in our community, by

BLAST!
Born on athletic fields across the nation, steeped in the tradition
of military and outdoor pageantry, drum corps, bands, and color
guards have a long history in America. Often rehearsing twelve
hours a day through heat, cold, dust and rain, they create thrilling
performances where athleticism, musical talent, kaleidoscopic
movement, and showmanship merge into an art form that is both
competitive and entertaining.
Rising from fertile midwestern fields, one drum corps, Star of
Indiana, consistently set ever-higher standards of excellence.
From its inception in 1984, Star of Indiana achieved successes
no corps in history had ever accomplished in such a short time.
With its place in drum corps legend secure, Star moved beyond
its earlier triumphs to bring the power, passion and precision of
outdoor pageantry to the stage in a musical performance that we
now call BLAST!

Bruce Hornsby
Saturday, March 3 @ 8 PM
The ever-versatile Bruce Hornsby is a singer, pianist, accordion
player, and songwriter. Known for the spontaneity and creativity
of his live performances, Hornsby draws frequently from classical,
jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, rock, blues, and jam band musical
traditions with his songwriting and the seamless improvisations.
He has even avoided planning set lists for his shows, preferring
to choose songs on the spot based mainly on audience requests.
His commercial stock soared early on, when “The Way It
Is” — the title track of Bruce Hornsby and the Range’s 1986 debut
album — became the most-played song on American radio in
1987. “The Way It Is,” as well as subsequent hits “Mandolin Rain”
and “Every Little Kiss,” established Hornsby as a popular pop act,
reflecting the vibrant temperament and true stylistic diversity with
which he approaches his craft.

Savion Glover
In his latest production SoLo iN TiME, the inimitable Savion
Glover continues the HooFeRzCLuB tradition of exploring tap
dancing’s percussiveness — using tap as sound and sound as
dance. Accompanied by his newest dance band Bare Soundz,
live flamenco vibes, and his own acclaimed Hooferz style, Glover
and company create a percussive medley of flamenco music and
dance. Glover made his Broadway debut at age 12 in The Tap
Dance Kid and his film debut in 1989’s Tap, co-starring with
Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis, Jr. He came to prominence
in 1996, starring in Broadway’s Bring in ‘da Noise/Bring in ‘da
Funk. He also starred in Spike Lee’s 2000 film Bamboozled and
appeared with Barbra Streisand in her “Timeless” tour.

lead his favorite team in the pennant race against The New York
Yankees only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he’s
left behind. Filled with hit songs like “Whatever Lola Wants”
and “You Gotta Have Heart,” this show is a musical comedy
home run!

A happy go lucky view of small town vice and statewide political
side-stepping recounting the good times and the demise of the
Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s as one of the better
pleasure palaces in all of Texas. Governors, senators, mayors
and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona’s
cozy bordello until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his
television cameras and Emile’s righteous indignation on the
institution. Adult content.

Hall. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

A wonderful comedy about five days that made history. 1939
Hollywood is abuzz. David O. Selznick has shut down production
of his new epic, Gone with the Wind. The screenplay, you see,
just doesn’t work. So what is an all-powerful movie mogul to do?
While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own
father-in-law, Selznick calls in famed screenwriter Ben Hecht
and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The
Wizard of Oz. Once in his office, he locks the doors, closes the
shades, and on a brain food diet of bananas and peanuts, the
three men labor over five days to write the screenplay for one of
the most beloved films of all time.
Written by Ron Hutchinson. Produced by special arrangement with
Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

In turn-of-the-century Sweden, middle-aged Fredrik Egerman
brings his 18-year-old bride Anne to a play starring his former
mistress, Desirée Armfeldt. Soon, Fredrik and Desirée resume
their romance, incurring the wrath of her current lover, a
pompous Count. The situation culminates in a weekend at a
country estate, with Fredrik, Anne, Desirée and the Count in
attendance, as well as Fredrik’s son (who is hopelessly in love
with Anne), Desirée’s illegitimate daughter, the Count’s manicdepressive wife and the Egerman’s lusty maid. And there, under
the summer night, things are set to right. Adult content.
Book by Hugh Wheeler; music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

Saturday, May19 @ 8 PM
Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love
stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war.
Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature
French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of Emiles’
children is an island native and, unable to turn her back on the
prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile’s proposal of
marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself
the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with
whom he’s fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie.
When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous
mission, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own
chance for happiness.
Book by Joshua Logan and Oscar Hammertein II; lyrics by Oscar
Hammertein II; music by Richard Rodgers. Produced by special
arrangement with the Rogers and Hammerstein Organization.
