We have the science and the results. Now we need the resources to bring this life-saving treatment to more children.

December 2014 Volume 19, No. 2 Paul Heppner Publisher Susan Peterson Design & Production Director WELCOME From Seattle Theatre Group, a non-profit arts organization Ana Alvira, Deb Choat, Robin Kessler, Kim Love Design and Production Artists ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house… Mike Hathaway Advertising Sales Director Marty Griswold, Seattle Sales Director Joey Chapman, Gwendolyn Fairbanks, Ann Manning, Lenore Waldron Seattle Area Account Executives You know the story. That curmudgeon, the Grinch, is a holiday hater and he attempts to ruin Christmas for the Whos. Sounds like a dour story, but at the heart there are lessons on giving, learning to live with less, and forgiveness. It’s the giving lesson that teaches us the importance of sharing the resources we have with others.

This is a place where we can contribute the resources we have in order for those with a potentially debilitating disorder to find comfort through dance. Originated by the Mark Morris Dance Group, Dance for PD® blends the skill of professional dancers who train their minds and bodies to execute difficult movement with confidence, power and grace, and empowers people with Parkinson’s to do the same. Along with professionally trained dancers, balance, sequencing, rhythm and aesthetic awareness is useful to persons with Parkinson’s. STG offers Dance for PD® classes in Seattle, Kirkland, Des Moines, and Issaquah. The program is one way STG is able to give to those in need in a way that is enjoyable, healing, and refreshing. Look for more information on this and other STG programs during the year. As we close one year and prepare for the arrival of a new one, our calendar is filled with another season of entertaining and diverse arts. The year kicks off with the return of Dame Edna, to say “farewell” once more, at The Moore January 15-18th. Join us for a night of fun and lively mischief.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, two Emmy awards and three Academy awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 books, many of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials and videos.

His Broadway career includes the standard “Young and Foolish” from the hit show Plain and Fancy as well as Redhead, for which he won the Tony in 1959. His film and TV career started when he was in his late 50s with the role of Professor Shorofsky in the movie Fame and the “Fame” TV series, and continued with many small roles in movies such as Space Jam and The Story of Us. Born in 1920 in Berlin, he escaped the Nazis via music scholarships in Rome and Cincinnati and settled in NY. The music from The Grinch is his most enduring achievement. MATT AUGUST (Director).

Open House The Paramount Theatre December 17th and 18th, 2014 Saturday, DEC 6 at 1pm Sometimes the key to success is just being in the right place at the right time, and no one could tell that story better than Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Paul Anderson, and Al van der Beek, also known as the Piano Guys. One day in 2010, Schmidt walked into Anderson’s piano store (named “The Piano Guys”) and upon striking up a conversation, the two decided to make a commercial for the store featuring Schmidt’s music. That commercial soon became the first in a series of collaborative videos also featuring cellist Steven Sharp Nelson and producer Al van der Beek. Those early videos received millions of views, and not long after, they were touring outside of their native Utah, playing shows to captivated audiences while still regularly making videos. The group’s penchant for mixing up classical music with popular songs and soundtracks is now one of their trademark characteristics. Some of their most memorable projects include a mash-up of the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Michael Jackson, a medley of John Williams’ Star Wars soundtracks, and Beethoven’s 5th Symphony with OneRepublic’s “Secrets”. They’ve filmed performances all the way from the top of Red Stone Mountain in their hometown of St. George, Utah to the Great Wall of China. The self-described “ordinary guys” are now taking their classically-influenced performances across the world, with tours in Germany and England on the horizon. This fall they’ll be taking songs from their new album, Wonders, to theatres across North America, including a two-night stand at the Paramount this December. Still beaming throughout every show, it’s clear that these four “guys” are the same ones that met in the piano store that fateful day, even if they’re famous far outside of Southern Utah.

The Croatian duo was one of the first classical groups to truly capitalize on using the Internet as a way to broadcast their music to audiences who may not be familiar with classical music. As they continued to put out videos of their thrilling interpretations of popular music, their profile grew far beyond the confines of the internet. Honored graduates from the Royal Academy of Music in London and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, respectively, Sulic and Hauser’s partnership has been admired from day one, not in the least by Sir Elton John, who invited them to open for him on a worldwide tour. A subsequent appearance reprising their cover of “Smooth Criminal” on the hit television series Glee and a performance on the CCTV New Year’s Gala viewed by more than one billion people continued the young musicians’ upward trajectory, which resulted in sold-out shows in North America, Europe and Japan. Their second album, IN2ITION, was released in 2013 and sees returning 22 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP …the duo have toured even more extensively around the world, stunning audiences with the skill and speed that has captivated hearts from Vienna to New York City. contributions from some of their advocates, including Glee’s Naya Rivera, virtuoso guitarist Steve Vai, world-class pianist Lang Lang, and a rare recorded collaboration with Sir Elton John. Since IN2ITION’s release, the duo have toured even more extensively around the world, stunning audiences with the skill and speed that has captivated hearts from Vienna to New York City. Just this past October, the duo’s cover of Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper” was widely acclaimed, and by the time 2Cellos bring their riveting show to the Moore Theatre in March, they’re sure to have added another brilliant rendition of a non-classical song to their already impressive oeuvre.

The Moore Theatre February 5th – 8th, 2015 Mark your calendars because this February, Seattle Theatre Group is the place for you. Starting off with a bang (and a bit of bending) is Circus Oz - the internationally acclaimed Australian circus troupe. Although they sowed and welded their first tent together with their own hands in 1978, the vibrant, explosive performances from the Melbourne collective now occur in much larger, alreadyconstructed venues across the world. As one of the first modern circus troupes to incorporate rock and roll, theatre, and satire into their act – Circus Oz continues to thrive with new shows and performers collaborating to create one of the Australian troupe’s most thrilling eras yet. After playing sold-out shows all across Australia, Circus Oz will bring their brand new show, “But Wait…There’s More,” to Seattle this February 5-8th as the first stop on their month-long North American jaunt. Inspired by an abandoned theatre, the show features new spins on some of Circus Oz’ trademark aspects including breathtaking acrobatics, lightning-fast juggling, and other incredible feats of athleticism and wit. Accompanying the performers are fantastical, visual displays of fire, smoke, strobes and original music making “But Wait...There’s More” a performance that audiences of all ages can enjoy from beginning to end. Not even a meteor could crash this roar of fun! The Paramount Theatre | February 15th, 2015 … embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains.

Born in Egypt and an immigrant to Canada while still a child, Raffi Cavoukian was a musician playing folk music when his mother-in-law noted his talent for connecting with children and invited him to sing in her nursery school classroom. Realizing his talent for writing children’s music and surprised by the lack of children’s music with production value, Raffi soon shifted his focus towards, to quote his debut album, “Singable Songs for the Very Young.” As his success grew, Raffi dedicated himself to using his music as an educational and edifying tool for children, incorporating positive messages into his songs and refusing to place his music on television or commercials due to a resolute belief that children should not watch significant amounts of television. In 1988, Raffi was inspired to become an environmental activist after viewing a presentation on the decline in the beluga whale population. In 1997, he released a book detailing his holistic philosophy towards raising youth, titled Child Honouring. Today, the 66-year old spends the majority of his time continuing to advocate for ecological sustainability and, more recently, an end to online bullying. His concert tours are now relatively sporadic, meaning that his January appearance at the Neptune Theatre is going to be a rare treat for both children and their parents, who grew up listening to “Baby Beluga,” “Bananaphone,” and “Down By The Bay.” … a rare treat for both children and their parent s… Neptune Calendar Saturday, December 6 Frankie Ballard Tuesday, December 9 A John Waters Christmas Wednesday, December 10 Hot Rize Thursday, December 11 Maria Bamford Thursday, December 18 A Very Merry Christmas Show Friday, December 19 Doug Loves Movies Podcast Taping Saturday, January 17 Craig Gass (two shows) Saturday, January 24 The Wood Brothers NEPTUNE SPONSORS & SUPPORTERS encoreartsseattle.com 27 SUPPORTERS of Seattle Theatre Group $100,000 and above Anonymous Washington State Historical Society $50,000 - $99,999 Anonymous 4Culture Berg Equipment & Scaffolding Co., Inc.

In our work at the historic Paramount, Moore, and Neptune theatres and the many other venues we partner with, we strive to engage the Northwest region in ways that encourage the creation and appreciation of art. We strongly believe that art and culture are not luxuries; rather, they are vital to our existence. They are a source of mental, emotional, and spiritual sustenance, which is why, with your support, Seattle Theatre Group plays an indispensable role in cultivating and presenting this vital art to our community. As part of Seattle Theatre Group’s ongoing educational initiative, we collaborated with 843 young artists and produced 218 free events for students, including master classes, workshops, rehearsals and discussions. Through our theatre access programs, a total value of $238,232 in subsidized tickets was donated to young artists, community organizations, schools and seniors. Over the next several months, we will be sharing profiles online at stgpresents.org/stories that highlight the three main goals of our work: delivering world-class performances, providing arts education and access, and preserving Seattle’s historic venues. As we present these stories we invite you to share memorable art and culture experiences you’ve had with STG using the hashtag #MyVitalArt. encoreartsseattle.com 29 BOARD OF DIRECTORS im Margard, C J hair Greg Mollner, P resident Bob Lipman, T reasurer Ron Wilkowski, V ice President Jim Kraft, General Counsel Ricardo Frazer, S ecretary Directors Lindsay Anderson Jan Block Becky Bogard Shavondelia Brown Peter Davis Masha Hart Brian Langstraat George Northcroft Steve Peltin Mike Slade Mary Beth Wressell HONORARY BOARD MEMBERS Ida Cole, F ounding Director nn Deutscher A Sara Hart Marian Thrasher CENTER STAGE COUNCIL Ann Deutscher, C hair Council Ted and Danielle Ackerley Howie Barokas Janie Hendrix Marty Loesch and Cyndi Lewis John Maynard Chris McReynolds David McShea Kabby Mitchell Tina Pappas and Robert Aigner Paul Pradel Stephen and Sheila Salamunovich Michael Shrieve Jeff Trisler Gigi and Alan White Fred Wilds VOLUNTEER COUNCIL SLATE OF OFFICERS 2012-2014 Sara Hart Chairman Fred Johnson Vice-Chairman Susan Jackson, Secretary Members Carol Allen Bonnie Briant JoAnn Field Jim Malatak Linda Middlebrooks Arlene Rankiin Lynn Thrasher Marian Thrasher Melinda Wilson Honorary Member Phil Hargis, w wPuget Sound Organ Society Council Members Emeritus Barbara Roper Claire Tompkins 30 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP Josh LaBelle, Executive Director VISION To enrich, inspire, challenge and expand our world through the arts.
