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!

Welcome to the Tennessee Performing Arts
Center. I hope you enjoy this performance
and that it provides many great memories
for you. At TPAC, the memories we strive
to create extend beyond our halls and into
our community.
We believe that TPAC should be, and is, a great
resource that offers opportunity and outcomes to
many in a variety of ways. We want to connect and
engage at many levels and serve in ways that make
our communities stronger and more viable. I invite you
to consider, for just a moment, all of the wonderful
programs that we provide. Jump in and enjoy!
TPAC InsideOut, for adults, offers a series of preshow previews, post-show talkbacks, lunch hour
programs, and exclusive entry into rehearsal halls to
dialogue with artists and creative teams.
Our state and local economic impact on the end
of last year was an astonishing $46 million, not
including the considerable impact of our resident
companies and rental clients.
TPAC is accessible to all, providing customized
assistance for people who use wheel chairs or
walkers, and services for patrons with visual or
hearing impairments.
We work with dozens of non-profit community
partners – serving them in unique ways, seeking their
advice, and inviting them to be active participants in
what we do. We are involved in civic organizations
and work closely with the State of Tennessee and
the City of Nashville, especially proud that these
governments invited us to take part in the dramatic
new look created for Deaderick Street last year.
We provide special discounts, services and events
for people who attend shows with others through
our group sales department.
In short, TPAC is not simply a building. TPAC
is a community of diverse people – children,
adults, teachers, artists, civic leaders, corporate
supporters, and the constituents of non-profit
organizations statewide.
Again, I hope you enjoy the performance – that
you’ve had fun with family or friends, that you were
amazed by the talent you saw on stage, and that you
connected to the show in a special, memorable way.
More so, please help us tell the whole story of what
TPAC is and what TPAC does. Check out our web
site and our own pages on Facebook and YouTube.
Sign up for our e-mails. Talk to teachers. Advocate
and support the arts, knowing how important they
are to education, business, culture and quality of life
in Nashville and Tennessee.
See you soon at and outside TPAC!

have You heard the
Incredible News
from tpac Education?
Disney Theatrical Group has chosen TPAC Education
as the only program outside of New York City for the
educational outreach project “Disney Musicals in
Schools.” Yes, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center
is the national pilot project, coordinated by TPAC
staff and artists in consultation with the educational
arm of Disney Theatrical Group.
TPAC teaching artists will work in five Metro Nashville
elementary schools to produce a Disney KIDS musical.
In addition to public performances at each school in
the spring of 2012, the public will be invited to the
“Student Share” hosted by TPAC on May 17, 2012
featuring an excerpt from each musical.
There’s more!
Photos: Disney Musicals in Schools; Give Yourself
a High Five art by Jennifer Wright; and Bryan Fenkart
as Huey in Memphis, photo by Randy Morrison.
TPAC Education just released its first CD for
children: Give Yourself a High Five. Professional
Nashville musicians at playful work in local Head Start
classrooms were inspired by the kids to create this fun
and interactive recording. The artists’ varied influences
– folk, funk, gospel, spirituals, jazz, blues, and rock –
combine for one of the most unique projects ever
released in the world of music for youngsters.
Produced by TPAC’s Lattie Brown, the recording is
dedicated to the “strong, creative, leading educators”
who collaborate with the Nashville affiliate of the
national program, Wolf Trap Early Learning Through
the Arts, coordinated by TPAC Education.
The excitement never ends!
It just keeps getting better and better!
Within three weeks after TPAC Education announced
its annual season for young audiences, reservations
reached 90% of budgeted seating capacity. That
doesn’t mean it’s too late for your child’s school to
take part in this incredible, curriculum-based series,
presented through TPAC Education’s Humanities
Outreach in Tennessee (HOT). On occasion, TPAC is
able to add additional performances to accommodate
demand and reservations are sometimes cancelled.
Works on this year’s schedule include Alice in
Wonderland; The Rivalry (Abraham Lincoln’s famous
debate with Stephen Douglas); Fisk Jubilee Singers;
LaTraviata; Of Mice and Men; Zorro and more.
Four of the performances are ArtSmart Focus Works,
pairing teaching artists with educators in classrooms.
The TPAC affiliate of the national arts integration
model which began at the Lincoln Center, ArtSmart
also is offering a creative adventure with “Exploration
and Discovery,” the collection of bronze sculptures in
Public Square Park.
Many of you already know that every single event from
InsideOut, TPAC Education’s series for adults, fills to
standing room only. Check out the whole schedule for
the season, paying special attention to the programs
for Memphis, the Tony Award winner for Best Musical
playing TPAC in November. Set at the intersection
of music and civil rights in 1950s/60s radio and
television, the show is a celebration of “the music of
the soul.” To complement your experience with seeing
this incredible musical, TPAC InsideOut is offering:
an Arts Appetizer before Memphis at 6:00 p.m.
on Wednesday, November 16, featuring discussion
with cast members and a local radio personality
($5 reservation fee); InsideOut of the Lunch Box
with Vanderbilt University at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday,
November 17, with a panel discussion of artists and
experts, including one of the producers of Memphis
(over a free box lunch); and Talkback Thursday
on November 17, a time to meet the cast and ask
questions after the performance.

It takes the skill of
an artist to restore
this masterpiece.
To the neurosurgeons at Saint
Thomas Health, brain surgery is the
highest form of art. The Truebeam
STX radiosurgery program at Saint
Thomas Hospital provides them the
tools they need to apply therapeutic
radiation with unparalleled pinpoint
accuracy. That means renewed
hope and improved quality of life to
cancer patients.

Who’s Who in the CREATIVE TEAM
Mason Entertainment Group (MEG) creates and
produces innovative live spectacles and theatrical
productions that defy all social barriers. MEG’s
productions of BLAST! (winner of the 2001 Tony Award
for Best Theatrical Event and 2001 Emmy Award for
Best Choreography for a prime time television show),
Shockwave, Cyberjam and M.I.X. (Music-In-Xtreme)
have entertained audiences on Broadway, London’s
West End, domestic and foreign tours, as well as at
Disney and Six Flags theme parks. In 2008 and 2009,
MEG’s hit production of BLAST! completed a tour of the
United States and Japan, while its new sensation M.I.X.
performed throughout Japan. MEG also launched Blast
Fever, which was featured at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and
won the coveted IAAPA Award.
James Mason (President/CEO of MEG and Artistic
Director/Composer/Arranger). Recipient of the
2001 Tony Award for Best Theatrical Event (BLAST!)
and nominated for the 2002 National Broadway
Theatre Award for Best Musical (BLAST!). He was also
nominated in the Best Director category for the 2002
National Broadway Theatre Award (BLAST!). Mason
has been the creative driving force behind the Star of
Indiana/Blast Inc. since it’s founding in the fall of 1984
and served as its President/Executive Director. Mason
has produced and created entertainment for Disney’s
Epcot Center and California Adventure theme parks
along with Six Flags Fiesta Texas where his show won a
coveted IAAPA Award. He has also created for countless
corporate and sporting events ranging from the NBA
All- Star Game and US Open Tennis Championship to
opening the Detroit Auto Show for Mercedes Benz.
Donnie VanDoren (COO of MEG and Casting
Director) has been involved in the drum and bugle
corps activity for more than 35 years, and the Star of
Indiana/Blast organization for more than 20 years.
Throughout his career, he has worked with numerous
musical organizations. Under his leadership as a brass
manager, he has developed several world championship
brass programs and is noted for his relentless pursuit
for perfection and his commitment to excellence in
brass performance. Donnie came to the Star of Indiana
organization as the brass manager in 1986, and has been
a part of the organization’s evolution from what was a
competitive drum and bugle corps to what is now theatrical
stage productions (i.e. BLAST, Shockwave, Cyberjam,
and M.I.X. Music in Xtreme). He was inducted into Star of
Indiana’s Wall of Fame in 1997, inducted into the Cadets of
Bergen County’s Hall of Fame in 2002, and in 2004, was
inducted into Drum Corps International’s Hall of Fame. A
native of Easton, Pennsylvania, Donnie relocated to Indiana
in 1998 to fully commit to the BLAST project. In addition to
being the Casting director for BLAST and M.I.X.- Music in
Xtreme, he is also the Chief Operating Officer for Mason
Entertainment Group. He holds a bachelors degree in
business administration from Villanova University.
Jon Vanderkolff (Staging Director, Choreography,
Composer) is an original member of the creative team
for BLAST!, Shockwave, Brass Theatre, Cyberjam and
M.I.X.- Music in Extreme and has been a part of the
MEG/Blast! organization for the past 14 years. Jonathan,
along with the choreography team, received an Emmy
Award for the PBS broadcast of Blast!. They were also
nominated for the 2002 Tony Award and 2002 National
Broadway Theatre Award in Choreography. Born in
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, he has been the stage
director and choreographer for many award-winning
organizations throughout the world. Jonathan graduated
with an honors degree in music theory and composition
from the New England Conservatory in Boston.
Jefferson S. Lee (Music Director, Composer/
Arranger, and MIDI programmer) Involvement with

was crucial.
Shortly after having her baby,
Jessica was diagnosed with
heart failure. While she waited
for a transplant, she needed
a heart pump. The Ventricular

Thomas Heart kept her alive,
doing the work her failing heart
could not. Now, Jessica knows
what it’s like to survive. With
more than 45 regional locations,
Saint Thomas Heart offers
greater access and experience
that comes with seeing more

“Hats Off to Volunteers”
Amerigo Hosts Annual TPAC Volunteer Luncheon
For the fifth year in a row, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center extends its thanks
to Amerigo for sponsoring its annual “Hats Off to Volunteers” luncheon. The event
recognizes those who donate their invaluable time and effort to TPAC year-round.
TPAC celebrated 87 active volunteers at the July 23 gathering, featuring a threecourse meal in the West End eatery’s dining room with appreciation prizes. The
afternoon’s highlight came from the much-loved hat decorating contest that
produced some of the most memorable creations themed to this season’s TPAC
Broadway shows: Mary Poppins (Fay Delk), Spamalot (Gloria Kleve), Blast!
(Warren and Holly Westcott), The Addams Family (Carol Bass), South Pacific
(Robert Gann and Carol McAlpine), and many more.
“The volunteers certainly deserve to have their work applauded in such an
enjoyable fashion,” said Mary Blair, who serves as TPAC’s volunteer coordinator
and assistant house manager. “TPAC heavily relies on this special group of
volunteers to offer the extra dose of warmth and hospitality patrons have come to
expect. During the 2010-11 season, TPAC volunteers completed 5,044 hours of
service, which translates into $105,167.
“We are incredibly thankful for our relationship with Amerigo Italian Restaurant and
Sales and Marketing Manager Ali Gensert for sponsoring TPAC’s annual ‘Hats
Off to Volunteers’ luncheon since 2007. Their most helpful and attentive wait staff
always produces a lovely atmosphere and meal for the TPAC volunteers.”
Amerigo has three restaurant locations in Nashville, Brentwood, and Memphis,
Tennessee and one in Jackson, Mississippi, offering a casual, cozy and upbeat
atmosphere and servicing new world Italian cuisine. The award-winning bistro
chain, open since 1987, features a wood fire oven grill and an American and
Mediterranean twist on traditional Italian food. The Nashville restaurant is conveniently
located near TPAC at 1920 West End Avenue and offers both lunch and dinner menus
for everything from an intimate pre-show date to large group celebrations.

Wicked
October 19 – November 6
SYNOPSIS: Glinda, the Good Witch of the North,
announces to the citizens of Oz that Elphaba, the
Wicked Witch of the West, is dead. An extended
flashback continues the story, going back in time
to the day that the daughters of the Governor of
Munchkinland – Elphaba and Nessarose (who
was born without the use of her legs), arrive at
Shiz University. The beautiful, popular Glinda
immediately classes with the independent, greenskinned Elphaba, who is excited to discover that
she might have a talent for magic.
The students settle into their routine at Shiz. Dr.
Dillamond, a goat and the University’s only animal
professor, confides in Elphaba that things in
Oz are not what they seem to be; something is
causing the animals of Oz to lose their powers for
speech. Fiyero, a Winkie Prince, arrives at Shiz,
and invites Glinda to a dance. To evade another
admirer, a persistent Munchkin, Glinda convinces
him to escort Nessarose to the dance. A grateful
Elphaba becomes friends with Glinda. Elphaba
is distraught when Dr. Dillamond is arrested and
taken away by the authorities. When she witnesses
a government official experimenting on a caged
lion cub, Elphaba’s anger releases a spell, freezing
everyone in the room. When Elphaba and Fiyero
free the terrified lion in the woods, she realizes
she is attracted to him. Elphaba is invited to meet
the Wizard, who tricks her and reveals that he is
not who he appears to be. As Madame Morrible
denounces her to the public as a “wicked witch,”
Elphaba vows to fight the Wizard’s injustice.
Glinda and Madame Morrible, now part of the
Wizard’s administration, announce Glinda’s plan
to marry Fiyero, who is in charge of the hunt for
Elphaba. In Munchkinland, Nessarose has become
Governor. She has grown bitter and cruel, earning
her the nickname “The Wicked Witch of the East.”
Her sister seeks asylum with her, but they quarrel
and part. Elphaba returns to the Emerald City,
where she crosses paths with Fiyero . Elphaba
sees a disturbing vision of a flying house and
rushes to Munchkinland, only to discover that
Nessarose has been crushed...
Memphis
November 15-20
The music in this show – in the style of the
late 1950s and early ’60s – features incredible
harmonies, powerful voices, and the great rhythms
of the band.
Winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical,
Memphis is a universal story about the “music
of the soul.” Out of his love for African-American
music, a white radio personality leads a movement
to integrate black music into radio and television.
He introduces an African-American singer, who
becomes his girlfriend, to his listeners. As
many challenges and obstacles are overcome,
ultimately, the people of Memphis – including radio
advertisers – demand to hear the music the DJ
loves. This music, of course, eventually expanded
the worldwide reach of the blues, jazz, and soul
music, also influencing the birth of rock ‘n roll.
Special note: Memphis contains adult situations and language.
For more information, pick up a Center Stage magazine in the lobby
or visit tpac.org/shows.
