Letter from the Publishers
Dear Readers,
At a time when hard copy print publications are rapidly
disappearing in favor of the ipad, iphone, kindle or whatever
the next device may be that replaces print...it’s comforting to
know that there are venues that exist where we still cherish
the hard copy printed word. You know what we’re talking
about...that special time just before the curtain goes up at
TPAC, Schermerhorn,The Franklin Theatre and the Martha
Rivers Ingram Center for the Performing Arts at Vanderbilt.
Clearly the performing arts venue setting is going to be the
last bastion for print in America.
If you or your company is interested in advertising, please let
us know. We offer a very unique advertising package that not
only includes all seven Playbill publications listed below, but
also our very popular newsstand annual guide, Nashville Arts
& Entertainment. We are the only print publisher in Nashville
that offers our advertisers newsstand exposure plus the finest
venues where you have the confidence in knowing that your
advertising message is actually being seen. No fast forwarding, no channel surfing, and no distractions before the curtain
goes up...everyone is focused on their Playbill.
We are thankful for all our readers and advertisers...couldn’t
do it without you!
Enjoy the show!

THE MATCHUP
THAT’S NO MATCHUP.
When comparing the BMW 528i Sedan to rivals like the Mercedes E350, some stark differences quickly
come to light. To start, the 528i is faster than the E350, and more fuel-efficient, with 34 mpg hwy vs. 30 with
the Mercedes.* The 528i widens its lead with a comprehensive maintenance plan (that costs you nothing),
and a lower MSRP than the E-Class. Looks like it’s time for a test drive of the 528i today.

Welcome to the
Tennessee Performing
ArTs CenTer
by Kathleen W. O’Brien
TPAC President and Chief Executive Officer
For years, I’ve announced seasons from our stages, met with patrons in our lobby, and shared
the latest news in columns like this. Now, I’m making the leap to Twitter. Follow me!
I’ve just begun to tweet as a fresh way to talk to TPAC patrons and to hear from you. I’ll give you
insights into TPAC operations, the Broadway network in Nashville, New York, and the nation …
maybe even around the world.
I hope we’ll all have some fun sharing short snippets of news, amusing stories, and general
observations from our daily lives, our love for theatre, and our commitment to arts education.
You’ll see another side of my work and my life as TPAC’s president and chief executive officer.
And, hopefully, I’ll learn more about you as well.
A decade ago, who could have imagined that 140 characters or less would be used in some of our
most fun, personal and interesting conversations? Who could have known we could reach so many
people so easily, whether it’s to say “Hi” or build and engage communities around the world?
The more I tweet, the more I hope to hear from you, too. I always want to hear what you loved or
hated at TPAC, or what you want to see next. But I also want to learn about the books you’re reading,
the movies that captivate you and, of course, the theatre, dance, and music that touches your life.
Saw a Broadway show in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, or LA and absolutely loved it? Tweet me.
Talk to you soon,
@tpacCEO
TPAC education 2013-14 Preview
History, world culture, and literature come
to life on stage for thousands of children every
year through TPAC Education’s Annual Season
for Young People. TPAC Education also trains
teaching artists who collaborate with teachers
in the classroom at no cost to schools.
Here are three outstanding productions to be
presented during the 2013-14 school year.
Imagine the possibilities!
2012, the artists from this troupe were unable to
travel to Nashville and had to cancel their scheduled
engagement. But, in response to the tremendous
demand for the show from school teachers last year,
they’re back on the season. The company performs a
blend of Latin, classical, and modern dance to music
from internationally-known Hispanic singers and
musicians, connecting cultures from around the world.
Studio Tenn’s A Christmas Carol, December 2013
/// Teachers often request titles that depict literature
studied in their classrooms. Next year, that title is
A Christmas Carol, a creative staging of the Dickens
classic from the Franklin-based theatre company.
Ballet Hispanico, October 2013 /// When
Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast in October

leO, March 2014 /// You’ve heard about the
emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Math) in education? Here’s an incredible show from
Y2D Productions that leaves a lasting impression in just
those subject areas. Students watch enthralled as an
ordinary man seems to defy gravity. High tech video is
projected in perfect harmony with physical theatre to
create fun, mind-bending illusions.
Groups who attend TPAC Education performances
represent students from pre-school through high
school in public, private and home settings. To receive

awarded Elton multiple GRAMMYS,® including the GRAMMY® Legend
Award. In the early 1990s, Elton collaborated with lyricist Tim Rice on
the soundtrack for The Lion King, winning him an Academy Award.® The
album produced two top-selling, award-winning singles: “Can You Feel
the Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life.” The Tony® Award-winning Broadway
productions of The Lion King and Aida both awarded Elton with
GRAMMYS, for Best Musical Show Album. Billy Elliot was nominated for

TIM RICE (Lyrics) has worked in music, theatre and films since 1965
when he met Andrew Lloyd Webber, a fellow struggling songwriter.
Rather than pursue Tim’s ambitions to write rock or pop songs they
turned their attention to Andrew’s obsession – musical theatre. Their
first collaboration (lyrics by Tim, music by Andrew) was an unsuccessful show based on the life of Dr.Barnardo, the Victorian philanthropist,
The Likes Of Us. Their next three works together were much more
successful – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus
Christ Superstar and Evita. Tim has also worked with other distinguished popular composers such as Elton John (The Lion King, Aida),
Alan Menken (Aladdin, King David, Beauty and the Beast) and Bjorn
Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Chess).
His first new show for ten years, From Here To Eternity, with music
by newcomer Stuart Brayson, co-produced with Lee Menzies, directed
by Tamara Harvey, and with book by Bill Oakes, opens in the West
End at the Shaftesbury Theatre in October 2013.
He formed his own cricket team in 1973 and was President of the
MCC in 2002. He recently wrote and presented a 52-part series for
BBC Radio 2, American Pie, a trawl through the music and musicians
of every American State. He has won several awards, mainly for the
wrong thing or for simply turning up.

delightfully poetic of musical deities. Since his arrival in America, Lebo
has attracted music industry giants such as Quincy Jones, Jimmy Cliff and
Hans Zimmer as mentors, allies and collaborators. Lebo has performed
and produced four albums, Rhythm of the Pride Lands (Disney), Deeper
Meaning (Gallo) and The Lion King(Japanese and Hamburg cast recordings). Other credits include The Power of One, Back on the Block and

One might say in our walk
of faith, we’ve been down
many paths. But few as
exciting as the one we’re
on now. With hard hats
and rolled sleeves, we’re
building a university that will serve
students in greater, more innovative
ways than ever in our history. Two
new health science buildings
providing state-of-the-art facilities
for nursing and pharmacy.
In just the past 24 months—
16 new graduate programs,
with more to come,
that meet the
demands of today’s
workforce in fields
such as information technology and
biomolecular science. And almost
60 new faculty members to help
us keep our stride. Watch us as
we hammer out our future and take
some exciting steps forward.
To us, this is a
stepping stone.

Follow TPAC’s President and CEO on Twitter @tpacCEO
Kathleen O’Brien, TPAC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has just begun to tweet
and hopes you’ll join the conversation. In the spirit of Twitter, Kathleen O’Brien created some

The Six-Show Season Ticket Package
Jersey Boys @TPAC October 29 –November 3, 2013
Love the Jersey Boys soundtrack, and can’t wait
to see it again. Oh, what a night, what a show. What’s your
favorite song?
We will Rock You @TPAC November 12-17, 2013
?!?! Acting great Robert DeNiro is behind this high energy Queen
revue – the latest rock musical hit in London & other European cities.
GHOST @TPAC February 25 – March 2, 2014
This spirited musical has a special effect on the audience –
seriously supernatural, stage illusions like you’ve never
seen before.
Sister Act @TPAC March 11-16, 2014
Even the nuns you knew in the ’70s would say “Amen” to the
music & comedy. Even the critics confess to lovin’ the show.
Million dollar Quartet @TPAC May 6-11, 2014
You’re right there with Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee, & Carl for the greatest
unplanned jam in recording history. So Memphis, so Nashville.
War horse @TPAC June 3-8, 2014
Easy to see why the story of a horse who goes to war won top awards
in NYC & London. Most incredible life-size puppets since Lion King.
Add-On Special Events Include:
Beauty and the beast @TPAC September 24-29, 2013
The tale as old as time is the perfect family show – stunning
set, costumes, song & dance as the beauty casts her own spell
on the beast.
I Love Lucy @TPAC January 14-26, 2014
You’ll love Lucy (plus Ricky, Fred & Ethel) even more when you
experience a live taping of all-time favorite episodes. Hilarious.

BE aWARE & BEWARE
TPAC Patron shares her unfortunate
experience with scalper
Beth Smith of Nashville was waiting for the hour that tickets to
The Lion King went on sale.
She had marked her calendar. It was her birthday. So excited, she pulled
over on the side of the road to purchase seats with her cell phone.
An internet search for “TPAC Nashville Tennessee” led her to the site of an online scalper
who crafted a web page that mimicked the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
She paid $1,200 for six tickets in the tier of Andrew Jackson Hall that never arrived.
“What upsets me most is that they went to a lot of trouble to trick me. I’ve been to TPAC
before. When I purchased the tickets I never knew that I was not on the TPAC web
site,” said Smith, who contacted TPAC directly after a suspicious phone call. “A place
called Goody Tickets told me there was a problem with my seat locations. They could not
provide six tickets together in the same row. That just didn’t sound right.”
It wasn’t right and Smith hoped that by sharing her story “I can help prevent this from
happening to someone else.”
She disputed the charge (and anticipates a credit, as other banking institutions have done
for TPAC patrons in similar situations).
Through TPAC, she purchased six tickets to The Lion King for $461 –about one-third the
price of her original transaction.
