Welcome
WELCOME!
We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen to join us for a performance. Last year
was one of the most successful in our 33-year history, and we couldn’t have done
it without loyal patrons like you.
Most people are familiar with the performances presented in our Ruth Finley
A Message from the Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers
Person Theater - from Steely Dan to Craig Ferguson to ZZ Top to The Piano Guys
to David Sedaris to Chrissie Hynde, we truly have something for everyone this
year! But many people are not as familiar with our Education Through the Arts
programs, which provide educational opportunities and access to the arts for
more than 30,000 North Bay children each year.
One of those programs is School Shows. This program, which is made
possible through the generosity of our members, donors, and sponsors,
welcomes more than 30,000 students and teachers from throughout the North
Bay to the Center to see music, dance, and theater performances that reinforce
and deepen their classroom curriculum. More than 40% of students attend on
scholarship, and for many it is their first experience at a live performance. We
invite you to turn to page 40 in this program to read one story about the impact
of this program in our community.
If you find these stories compelling, we hope you’ll consider becoming a
member. Memberships start at just $75 for the year, are tax-deductible, and
come with a variety of valuable benefits including pre-sale opportunities on new
shows, drink tickets, preferred seating, and more! See page 14 for more
information.
On behalf of everyone at the Luther Burbank Memorial Foundation (owner
and operator of Wells Fargo Center for the Arts), it’s our pleasure to serve our
community, and look forward to providing even more opportunities in the future.
Thank you again for attending, and enjoy the show!

Boz Scaggs
Wednesday, May 20 at 8pm
“I’m at a point where I’m having a lot
of fun with music, more than ever,”
Boz Scaggs says about his spellbinding
new album, A Fool to Care. “It’s like I’m
just going wherever I want to go with it.”
You can hear that sense of fun, as well
as that ability and willingness to wander in
any musical direction throughout the
album’s twelve tracks. The inspirational
heart of those songs lies in the sounds of
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma that played
such a vital role in shaping Scaggs’ musical
sensibility, but they venture forth boldly
from there, ranging from the seductive New
Orleans rumble of the title track to the wry
social commentary of “Hell to Pay” and a
heartbreakingly wistful interpretation of The
Band’s “Whispering Pines.”

album since 2008 and his first project since
signing with Capitol Christian Music Group
in 2013, he deliberately steps into a new
creative chapter to craft a vibrant collection
of vertically focused songs with a fresh
sense of musical innovation.
“I feel like it’s a good season,” Smith
says, leaning forward in a comfortable chair

Smith has always had a gift for
delivering songs that capture the hearts of
the listener and give voice to their thoughts
and feelings. During his three-decade
career, the Kenova, West Virginia native has
shaped the Christian music landscape with
such classic songs as “Friends,” which was
named the No. 1 Song of All Time by CCM
Magazine and “Healing Rain,” a powerful
anthem that remains one of the best-loved
songs in his extensive repertoire.

Wells Fargo Center for the Arts Opens
New Sculpture Garden
36
Sculptor Bruce Johnson
Opening to the public on June 6, 2015, a new Sculpture
Garden – located at the northeast end of the Center’s
campus, between the Center’s building and the Sutter
Hospital campus – will present rotating works from
contemporary regional artists that focus on monumental
outdoor art incorporated into a landscaped natural setting.
The Sculpture Garden is free and accessible to the public, and will
feature the distinctive redwood sculptures designed by highly
acclaimed local artist Bruce Johnson for the inaugural exhibit, which
will last for two years.
This installation will be the unifying focal point for the various
other aspects of the visual arts pieces that are already on display at
Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The visual arts have always been an
intrinsic component of the programming at the Center dating back to
the early 1980’s when the Museum of Contemporary Arts was housed
onsite. Although the works relocated in 2006, other significant
paintings and sculpture displayed at the Center include works by
thirteen local and regional artists such as Robert Ellison, Dennis Leon,

About Us
Diana Meehan, and Roberto Santo. With the new Sculpture Garden,
the Center’s walkable campus can now easily be experienced as an
integrated Art Walk, incorporating all the visual arts and elevating the
profile of the Center as a comprehensive center for the visual and
performing arts and a community resource. The physical concept for
the garden, how best to adapt the current space to most successfully
display artwork, its design, and planning is by Bill Mastick, Quadriga
Landscape Architecture and Planning with offices in Santa Rosa, San
Francisco and Sacramento.
”Root 101,” the inaugural exhibit by Bruce Johnson is comprised
of colossal wood sculptures made from salvaged old growth
redwood, which he has been working with for 50 years. Three years
ago, Johnson acquired 80 tons (four truckloads) of huge salvaged
redwood stumps and chunks, some trees over 1,000 years old near a
tributary to the Eel River. “There is something primal and archetypal
about these huge water washed forms,” observes Johnson. “Within
the form of roots and
swirl of grain you can
see and touch patterns
of nature and feel the
fractal expression of
growth and energy.
These materials are the
heart of the Wells Fargo
Center for the Arts
exhibit.”

The Arts—Where Learning Comes To Life!
Serving 30,000 children and adults annually from

Quietly (and not so quietly) at work outside of the spotlight,

science, and reading, to create new ways of learning and
improve engagement and understanding.

Removing Roadblocks to the Arts
Truth is, not everyone can afford to participate in the arts. Yet, music,
dance and theater are at the heart of every community, providing
one of our greatest means for understanding and communication.
We believe these benefits should be shared by all and are working to
remove financial barriers to the arts in our community.
n Evert Person’s ArtReach—
Each year, the Center distributes approximately 12,000
free and reduced-price tickets to low-income students and
community members, helping make the Arts accessible for all!

Why Education Through the Arts?
At Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, we believe in art for art’s sake,
but we also know that the arts are an incredible tool that stimulates
creativity and communication skills, and also helps children develop
self-esteem. By integrating the arts into core curriculum lessons, we
are using the power of the arts to teach all subjects, including math,
science, and social studies, while also acknowledging that children
learn in different ways.
Why Now?
As we see cuts to arts and music education in the classroom, our
programs help fill the gap for students and teachers in
our community.

Your Community Gathering Place
In the late 1970s, a group of 12 local community
leaders envisioned a home for the arts. They
dreamed of a vibrant gathering place where
people could treasure the wonderful talents of
local performing artists and enjoy world-class
performances without having to travel to San
Francisco and beyond to see them.
Founders
“We really wanted an arts center for our
community,” noted the late Henry Trione, one
of the Center’s founders. “So, when the church
building came up for sale, we decided to buy it
on our own.”
Ed and Marion Gauer
Such is how our founding families arrived at
a bankruptcy auction for the Center’s River
Road complex. As the only cash bidder, our
founders walked away with the property for
$4.5 million, reaching deep into their own
pockets to purchase the Center on behalf of
the community.

“Music has made
me a better person.”
Watching Luis Lopez lead the
talented Elsie Allen High School Jazz
Band from behind his drum set is
inspiring. Luis enjoys helping the younger
musicians in the band become better players
and relishes his role as a mentor and leader.
Music has made a huge difference in Luis’s life.

“In the past, there were times I wasn’t on
the right path,” he says, “but music has taught
me how to be better at everything – from

A Heart for Education
Patti Delano, like many of the volunteers at Wells
Fargo Center for the Arts, became involved
through the invitation of a friend. “Mary would
always talk about all the great acts and events at the
Center. I decided to join her, just for fun, and now I’ve
been volunteering longer than her!” Patti has been
volunteering as an usher since 2007 for both public and
weekday school shows, and currently helps train our
new volunteer ushers.
As a wife, mother and grandmother, Patti is busy
with her family, but always has a place in her heart for
education. She worked for 16 years as an elementary
school instructional assistant and continues to volunteer
with her grandsons' school in Santa Rosa and her
granddaughters' school in Novato.
Volunteers
Betsy Boes, the Center’s Senior Events Supervisor,
has this to say about Patti, “If you look up the word
perfection in the dictionary, you would find a picture of
Patti Delano. Patti is an authentic lady; she has an
up-beat attitude, is always fair, and a pure pleasure to
have in the workplace.”
The Center’s mission to “Enrich, Educate and
Patti Delano
Entertain the North Bay community” fits Patti’s passion
Photo by WB Photography
for teaching and love for Sonoma County. She loves the
school shows, “When I open the doors and children walk
down those aisles, I love to see how excited they are.
They’ve never seen anything like our theatre- other than
on TV- and these field trips are their only opportunity to
experience something as special as live music, theatre

and dance.” Patti’s favorite shows spark her memoires
of another time, The Smothers Borthers, Frankie Valli,
Paul Anka and Shirley MacLaine. She lights up as she
talks about a contemporary a capella group, Straight No
Chaser, and their ability to “fill the stage like they all had
instruments with only their beautiful voices.” Patti’s goal
at the Center is “to make every time as special as the
first. This is a dream come true for so many who grew
up watching these stars all their lives.”

Volunteer Opportunities
It takes hundreds of people and
hundreds of hours to “make the magic”
here at the Center. We salute our 300-plus
volunteers who provide over $270,000 in
donated services annually, without whom we
could not continue to deliver our wide-ranging
programs to the community.
Usher
Our usher volunteers take tickets, assist
patrons with finding their seats, answer
questions, and provide overall exceptional
service to guarantee our patrons a great
Volunteers
experience.

Concessions
Concessions volunteers can choose to serve
beverages and snacks, or choose to be a
cashier, operating our Point-of-Sale system
and helping customers complete their
purchases in an efficient and friendly manner.
“
Every time I
volunteer, I have
an opportunity
to see old friends
and welcome
new patrons,
who may turn
into friends.

“Thanks to you,
music is my life.”
Elsie Allen High School Senior
Eduardo Barazza will be the first in
his family to go to college. Even
though he was born into poverty, his
mentor and music teacher predicts he will
be “a great success in life.”
A trumpet paved the way for Eduardo’s
unlikely success.
How? Eduardo got his trumpet in 7th
grade from Music For Schools, one of the many

over 400 donated instruments to aspiring
student musicians like him.
“I don’t know what we’d do without
Music For Schools,” says Kyle Thompson, Elsie
Allen music director. He estimates 85% of his
kids are using Music For Schools instruments.
Want to get involved in
Music For Schools?
1) Donate an unused instrument (call
Chrystie Prokopakis at 707.800.7504).
We’ll refurbish it and put it to work
transforming the life of a student.
2) Become a Wells Fargo Center for the
Arts member. In addition to priority
tickets and other benefits, you’ll help
fund Music For Schools and our
other educational programs.
Music For Schools transforms lives.
Eduardo’s trumpet gave him a passionate
love of music, but it also gave him the chance
to grow into the leader he is today. “Eduardo’s
leadership skills are at such a high level,” says
Kyle Thompson, “he is the most skilled teacher
of peers I have ever had in a class.”
Music has not only given him leadership
skills, Eduardo says, it’s helped him become a
confident public speaker – a skill he’ll bring
with him to Sonoma State University this fall
where he will major in Business and minor in
Jazz Studies.
All this from the loan of a trumpet our
donors made possible.

SEATING CHART
76
The Ruth Finley Person Theater at Wells Fargo Center for the Arts is a flexible venue
allowing for both seated and open floor configurations. When seated, the 1681-seat venue
is the largest fixed seat venue in Sonoma County. When main floor seats are removed, the
open floor/seated balcony configuration raises the capacity to 2000. The theater’s unique
thrust stage design, with no seat more than 75 feet from the stage, provides a level of
intimacy between artists and audiences unlike any other in Northern California. For more
than 30 years, Wells Fargo Center for the Arts has been the best place to see your favorite
performer up close and personal.
