Letter from the Publishers As we begin our 18th year with the Performing Arts in Nashville, we are excited to be a part of one of the most robust Arts communities in the country. In fact, Nashville ranks in the top 12 cities in the country for culture, arts and entertainment, while Business Week named Nashville one of the best places for artists to live in the United States. Therein lies why Nashville is the home of the most talented artists in the country. When you couple that with Nashville being ranked as the eighth strongest economy in the country, we find ourselves living in a very enviable community. The “Playbill” you hold in your hand is the visual voice of the arts, communicating the importance of the arts to the Nashville community. One of our favorite quotes regarding the arts is from Kathleen O’Brien, “We need the arts. They are not a luxury. They make us better people, and they are at the core of strong, vibrant communities”. How true. We thank our readers for being such an important part of the arts, and making Nashville such a strong, vibrant community! Enjoy the show!

We hope you enjoy your experience here with your family, friends, and familiar characters from television, film, and Broadway theatre. We hope you connect with the artists on the stage and the people in the seats surrounding you. I’m curious. How do you usually connect with other people these days? Are you more likely to send an e-mail or text message than to talk on the phone? Are you on Facebook? What gives you a sense of community? Do you “travel in circles” with people from your neighborhood, school, place of worship, work-world, sports activities, or civic, social, and business organizations? How often to you come to TPAC with family and friends, or spend time with them at movies, restaurants, athletic events, museums, parks, and other activities? We’ve thought a lot about all of this as we review the past year and look forward to the next. “Connections,” in fact, has become a theme of our 2010-11 Report to the Community, which I hope you will check out at tpac.org/annualreport. One thing we know: In this electronic, computer age, the live performance is more meaningful than ever. A great evening or afternoon at the theatre is filled with electrifying energy, laughter, and surprises. People become touched or changed in some way, and they can have interesting conversations after the show. On the other hand, TPAC’s social media enhances your experience with performances and your ways of interacting with our shared community. Join the fun on Facebook and TPAC’s YouTube Channel. Follow the links on our web site for more information on our for productions. Respond to the surveys we send after each show. Give us a call at 615-782-4000 or send us an e-mail to [email protected]. Simply put, reconnect with us! As our ways of connecting to each other continue to change, I sincerely hope that TPAC will be a source of meaningful and interactive social experiences for you. Kathleen W. O'Brien TPAC PresidenT And Chief exeCuTive OffiCer When you power-on your electronic devices after the performance, it’s the perfect time to call, e-mail, text, tweet, and post to tell your family and friends about the great time you just had.

What’s Coming to Nashville Next Season? putting together the pieces of a puzzle Building every season of HCA/TriStar Broadway at TPAC is a complex process that begins with the names of the shows on tour. From one year to the next we never really know what will be happening in New York or on the road. It really is like putting together the pieces of a puzzle. TPAC’s first goal is to offer local audiences a balance of new titles, classics, and family shows while also showcasing the breadth of what great, live theater provides: lavish sets, athletic choreography, lush music, powerful drama, and clever humor. We want high-quality productions that will engage, entertain, and inspire our patrons. Then, the long negotiations begin, based on available weeks in Andrew Jackson Hall and times when tours can route to Nashville. TPAC is now in the height of serious discussions, talking to agents and producers about their shows so we can announce the exciting news in April at a special event for season ticket-buyers, group leaders, and donors. “Every year at this time, months before we announce the next season, TPAC is fighting to land the best Broadway shows on behalf of our community. We compete against cities like Charlotte, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix and others across the nation in order to bring the best to Nashville,” said Steve Citerin, TPAC’s Vice President of Marketing, Sponsorships, and Strategies. “Many factors determine why a tour chooses a city, but the absolute strongest factor is a large and supportive subscription base. The more people who buy season tickets for HCA/TriStar Broadway at TPAC, the sooner we’ll get the top titles on tour, including the hot tickets in New York, the big winners at the Tony Awards, and the blockbusters like Wicked and The Lion King.” So, when it comes to TPAC’s Broadway series, bigger truly is better. Enjoy exclusive savings and benefits with a ticket package for the exciting shows coming to TPAC this winter and spring!

The story, in music and song, of Finlandʼs transformation from a predominantly rural agricultural base to one of the most sophisticated industrial and entrepreneurial economies in the world. AUGUST 2007 2 MUSICAL NUMBERS “These Little Finns Remind Me of You” “Milk It” “I Hear Your Nokia But I Can’t Come In” “Milk It (Reprise)” “It’s a Bleeding (Economic) Miracle!” “Foek You, Farmers” “Milk It (Finale)” THE ACTION TAKES PLACE ENTIRELY IN A SAUNA. DIK OD TRIAANENEN FOL WILL BE PERFORMED WITH THREE INTERMISSIONS: ONE EVERY TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS. Featuring the show-stopping, foot-stomping East Finland Moose Ballet—45 magnificent creatures in high-stepping harmony. Believed to be the greatest display of horn ever seen on an American stage. WHO’S WHO in the CAST BIN FAAARKREKKION (Writer). Faarkrekkion’s career typifies the Finnish economic miracle. Born the son of a humble woodcutter, Bin worked his way up through shrubbery management to become Professor of Treadmill Dynamics at the University of Toooti, believed to be the 28th most northerly university in the world. “I have always been interested in the relatively rapid transition from a predominantly rural agricultural base to one of the most advanced industrial economies in the Western world, and one day in the sauna, it came to me: What a great subject for a musical.” RUUDI KOKKI (Producer). Like Bin Faaarkrekkion, Kokki’s life has had its twists and turns. He learnt his trade up country where he was, for a time, the 28th most northerly person in Finland. “My father was a humble woodcutter. But at these latitudes, where it is dark for half the year, this was a very dangerous business, as it was not always possible to see where the trees are falling— and one year my father brought down a huge spruce on top of his friend Nee-Wom, partly killing him.” Kokki’s father would never touch a tree again. He would hang about the cabin nursing his grief, rocking backwards and forwards and listening to the hated Swedish group Abba. “My loathing of Abba, and their enormous earnings, led me to my first musical venture, the formation of an alternative Finnish group: Udda. Two boys, two girls and, my master-stroke, one hermaphrodite, Ken-Angela Nuuti.” Udda’s problems are now well known. Shiiti refused 3 PLAYBILL to share a towel with Noggi, Bonk complained that Tuulivaarskinonen’s name was bigger on the door and Ken-Angela turned out to be Norwegian. Kokki changed his name to Art Polaris and wrote Do Skleeezwiaanaenblon, an erotic opera set amongst the winkle pickers on Finland’s Baltic Sea coast. The show closed after only eight minutes. The sight of 94 aroused winkles was too much even for Helsinki’s liberal Ghooti Sponen newspaper. “Do Skleeezwiaaanaenblon gives Finnish erotic opera a bad name. I’ve seen more erotic activity at a builder’s yard.” Undaunted, Kokki set to work on an erotic opera set in a builder’s yard. Di Hoviekrekkertilllniamen, the story of a young female crane operator who pleasures herself during preliminary works connected with the extension of Helsinki’s Metro system, was an instant hit. “I discovered, for the first time, how many people were interested in the extension of the Metro system, and in the burgeoning Finnish economy generally.” Kokki set himself a new task, to represent this extraordinary economic transformation in music, dance, mime and magic. One night he was explaining his plans at the exclusive Sons of Humble Woodcutter’s Club in the chic Kongspalatzen, when a fellow diner pricked up his hears. His name was Bin Faaarkrekkion. The rest is history. DILLI AARNEN. Dilli, 43, began her career understudying Speeni Solkomen in The Keith Richard Story. She’s married to producer Mooni Moorikikinen but is having an affair WHO’S WHO in the CAST with Ost Fwellok and Stubbi Bwenolllenson. She has won four Golden Nukkies. SWELL PEST. Swell is best known for his portrayal of Gossi Tweshonen, the unsighted bus driver in FinnTV’s hit series “Aaarghh! Villianomeniaanen Schiederrbobrana Ig” (“Watch Out!”). He lives in the woods many miles north of Helsinki in a house modelled on Steve Earle’s early hit “Guitar Town.” SAD AAARSE. As well as being Finland’s open unicycle champion, Sadd is a keen environmentalist, who believes that man has much to learn from the moose. “We think we have all the answers, but we don’t. If we did we’d have horns.” He has twice won the Shapeless Gray Thing of Tampere. THE HONNI OBIKKIONEN SINGERS. Twelve boys, seven girls and an ostrich who all met up at Utsjoki Cold Research Institute in the extreme north of Finland. “There was not much to do in the evenings but sneeze,” laughs Honni, now 57, “so we used to cheer everyone up with a few Leonard Cohen songs. They went down so well that we now do Tom Waits, Tibetan songs for the dead and Petula Clark.” A little-known fact about the Honni Obikkionen Singers is that they once had two ostriches in the team. STONG VATTIAAANIKKERA (Moose Trainer). Stong, twice winner of the most westerly man in Finland, grew up with moose. “Very often I would go down to breakfast and find moose in the kitchen, in the car and sometimes listening to the radio, dressed up to look like my mother and father.” During almost a decade of psychiatric treatment, Stong took up ballet as a way of dealing with what he called “bad thoughts.” The treatment worked, and Stong took, and on the third time passed, accountancy exams. He returned to the community and rose to become CEO and lifetime president of the Finnish Steel Corporation. What few people knew was that in the evening Stong was combining the two “loves of my life”: moose and ballet. Without anyone knowing, he hired a theatre and put on his very own creation, Moose Lake. As a result he was re-admitted to hospital where, despite everyone’s best efforts, he wrote and scored 12 more moose ballets. Now 88 years old and a trim 193 pounds, Stong believes his time has come. “For years I was laughed at. I only hope I will be again tonight.” TANAKA ING (Director). The only nonFinn in the company, Ing has a long history in experimental theatre, including Churchill’s History of the English Speaking People in mime, a salsa version of the Tibetan Book of the Dead and a puppet version of The U.S. Population Census of 1973. A great tennis lover, Ing went to Finland for a contemplation weekend and found himself hooked. “I love trees and always have, and in Finland there are something like a thousand trees for each person. I also like the bits in between them, which allow you to walk around the trees without hitting them. I hope I can do my bit to make the world sing along with the remarkable transformation from a predominantly conservative rural base to one of the most advanced industrial economies in the Western world.” Ing’s next project is to drain Lake Michigan for a day. Patrons are asked not to smoke or speak Swedish in the theatre. Please use cell phones whenever possible. CREDITS Bicycle hire by O Vienhonhennin. Live chickens by Barry Vig. Cigarettes by De Mornay.

COME TO FINLAND If you’ve enjoyed this production, why not hop on a plane and see Finland for yourself? It is such a lovely place. (Mostly flat but with some raised bits.) Quite warm sometimes in the south, though on the whole colder in the north. There are some paper mills. The roads have relatively few bumps. All hotels have curtains. Things are very clean, but not pathologically so. It’s a great place for trees. Alongside the trees you will find other trees, which blend into a forest running for a thousand miles. If you’ve never seen a forest running, then Finland is the place for you. And don’t believe anyone who says you can’t get tomatoes there. Of course you can.

Ruby Howell Nashville, TN Heart Disease Survivor A heart transplant wasn’t an option for Ruby. But destination therapy was. Through the combined care of the cardiac specialists at Saint Thomas Heart at Baptist Hospital and Saint Thomas Hospital, Ruby’s heart was given new life by implanting a ventricular assist device (VAD) which helps the weakened left ventricle pump blood throughout the body. Now Ruby’s improved strength has allowed her to get back to what she loves most – singing in the choir at Galilee Missionary Baptist Church. And isn’t that what surviving is all about? Saint Thomas Heart provides the only Joint Commission certified destination therapy program in the region.

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. She learns that the mother of his children was 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, prejudices are confronted. The beloved score’s songs include “Some Enchanted Evening,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” “This Nearly Was Mine,” and “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame.” For more information, pick up a Center Stage magazine in the lobby or visit tpac.org/southpacific.

It’s just another example of Lipscomb’s commitment to the arts in Nashville. The chair of our theatre department was named one of Nashville’s top ten directors for 2010, and our partnership in staging Blackbird Theater’s production of “Twilight of the Gods” resulted in a “best new play” recognition. And that’s just part of the story. Experience it for yourself—there are hundreds of arts performances on campus annually that are open to the public for little or no charge. Go to events.lipscomb.edu. There’s lots to see and hear at Lipscomb. We’re not teasing.
