NOTES
MBT’s New Mobile-Friendly
Website is Here!
As technology changes, Mount Baker Theatre
constantly evaluates what we’re doing and what we
Brad Burdick, Executive Director
need to do to stay on top and provide the very best
possible experience for our customers. With this in mind, the Mount Baker Theatre
board recently approved making a substantial investment in our website. It’s been
several years since we overhauled the site, and during that time we’ve realized that there
are plenty of things we can do differently and better.
One of the latest trends in web design is for web pages to be “responsive.” This
means that no matter which form of technology you use—computer, tablet, or
smart phone—you’ll get access to the entire site with the easiest navigation and best
optimization possible. This means less zooming, squinting, and resizing, but with the
full information usually missing from “mobile optimized” webpages. This also means
improved accessibility and navigation of our calendar of events, access to even more
sneak-peak show videos, and an overall improved and simplified purchasing process.
We have worked with an outstanding web design firm called Domain7. Their
strategy: “foster a highly collaborative research-based approach to architecting
on-line experiences.” Based on findings from a thorough research and vision stage,
the designers created a product with the user-experience top of mind—they call it
“humanizing the web.” With that in mind, we are very interested in hearing
what you think about our new site. To provide input just send an email to
info@mountbakertheatre.com and put “Web Site” in the subject line, or simply
contact E-Marketing Specialist Caitlyn Klein at (360) 733-5793 x 308.
We are now one of the first performing arts centers on the west coast to have a
responsive website and this significant improvement will be much more convenient
for our customers! Let us know what you think.
But in the meantime… please enjoy the show!

The B-52s

It is well known that the B-52s are The World’s Greatest Party Band. And
38 years and more than 21 million albums into their career, there can be no
doubt as to why they remain one of rock music’s most beloved and enduring
bands. Any mystery concerning the band’s longevity and ongoing appeal
is immediately solved when exposed to a B-52s concert experience. From
groundbreaking songs like “Rock Lobster,” “Dance This Mess Around” and
“Private Idaho“ to chart-topping hits like “Love Shack” and “Roam” and
“Deadbeat Club” to their thrilling reemergence on the pop scene with their
2008 CD Funplex the B-52s’ unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every
time their music begins.
Formed on an October night in 1976
following drinks at an Athens, GA, Chinese
restaurant, the band played their first gig
at a friend’s house on Valentine’s Day 1977.
Naming themselves after Southern slang for
exaggerated “bouffant” hairdos, the newly
christened B-52s (Fred Schneider, Kate
Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson
and Ricky Wilson) began weekend road
trips to New York City for gigs at CBGB’s
and a handful of other venues. Before
long, their thrift store aesthetic and genredefying songs were the talk of the post-punk
underground. A record deal soon followed
and their self-titled debut disc, produced
by Chris Blackwell, sold more than 500,000
copies on the strength of their first singles,
the garage rock party classic “Rock Lobster”
and “52 Girls.” The B-52s began to attract
fans far beyond the punk clubs of the Lower
East Side — galvanizing the pop world with
their “stream-of-consciousness” approach to
songwriting and outrageous performance.
They had clearly tapped into a growing
audience for new music that was much
larger than anyone could have anticipated.
“We always appealed to people outside
the mainstream,” says Kate Pierson, “and I
think more people feel they’re outside the
mainstream these days.”
With the release of their second studio
effort, Wild Planet (1980), the B-52s and
co-producer Rhett Davies proved their
success was no fluke with hits with “Private
Idaho,” “Give Me Back My Man” and “Strobe
Light.” In just two albums, the B-52s created
a lexicon of songs, styles, phrases and
images which would set the standard for
the development of the “alternative music
scene” for the next decade. The success of
Mesopotamia, produced by David Byrne
(1982), and Whammy! (1983) positioned the
B-52s as MTV regulars as well as alternative
radio staples.
At the time of their greatest achievements,
however, they suffered their greatest tragedy
— the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson
from AIDS. “He really had a vision…,” said
sister Cindy Wilson. “He was one of the
strongest elements of the B-52s from the
beginning.” Ricky Wilson’s passing in 1985
came just after the sessions for Bouncing Off
The Satellites (1986). The album, dedicated
to Wilson, had taken nearly three years to
complete but was worth the wait, serving
up the fan favorites “Summer of Love” and
“Wig.”
After a period of mourning, Keith,
switching from drums to guitar, gradually
resumed writing music for a new album.
Working together on vocal melodies, lyrics
and arrangements for the new tracks, Keith,
Kate, Fred and Cindy re-emerged with the
Don Was/Nile Rodgers co-produced Cosmic
Thing (1989). The album proved to be the
greatest commercial achievement for the
group, and its success propelled the band to
international superstars.
Cosmic Thing soared to the top of the
Billboard Album chart, sold 5 million copies
and yielded their first-ever Hot 10 hits —
“Love Shack” and “Roam” and a Top 40 hit
with “Deadbeat Club.” The B-52s advanced
their reputation as the greatest party band
on the planet to a whole new generation
of music fans. They played to sold-out
audiences worldwide on a tour that would
last more than 18 months, including an
Earth Day gig before nearly 750,000 people
in New York City’s Central Park.
Soon after, Cindy Wilson amicably
departed. “I’d been a B-52 for a long time,
and it just felt like time for a change,” said
Cindy. Before long, Wilson had successfully
completed her first solo project — a baby
girl. Meanwhile, Kate collaborated with
other artists, including Athens compatriots
R.E.M., for whom she guest-starred on their
1991 album Out of Time. She also scored a
hit with fellow CBGB’s alum Iggy Pop on
his lovelorn duet “Candy.” Fred, meanwhile
started work on a solo project, Just Fred
(1996), with producer Steve Albini, his
second solo project since the release of
1984’s Fred Schneider and the Shake Society.
As a trio, Fred, Keith and Kate re-enlisted
the tag team of Was and Rodgers to produce
the energetic Good Stuff (1992). With its
popular title cut and concert favorite “Is
That You Mo-Dean?,” Good Stuff is more
than just a worthy follow-up to Cosmic
Thing: the album stands as the group’s most
overtly political album. “We’re out there to
entertain people,” said Fred, “but it’s great to
get people thinking and dancing at the same
time.”
Reuniting permanently with Cindy, the
B-52s wrote and recorded two new tracks
that fit perfectly into Time Capsule, a 1998
stellar collection of hits. The first single
from the Best Of collection, “Debbie” is a
metaphorical tribute to band friend and
supporter Debbie Harry and the whole
CBGB’s scene of the late ’70s.
With the release of the two-disc collection
Nude on the Moon: the B-52s Anthology
(2002), the B-52s took much-deserved
credit for a body of work that is unique,
beloved and timeless in its own way. The
B-52s influence cuts a wide path through
much of so-called “modern rock” — from
the low-fi efforts of nouveau garage bands
to the retro-hip of ultra-lounge, to the very
core of dance music itself. “We just did our
own thing, which was a combination of rock
‘n ‘roll, funk, and Fellini, and game show
host, and corn, and mysticism,” says Fred. It
is indeed all these things (and much more).
In 2008 the B-52s released their first new
album in 16 years, the aptly titled Funplex.
With its primal guitar hooks, driving
drums and the B-52s’ unmistakable vocal
style, Funplex is instantly recognizable as
quintessential and contemporary B-52s.
Newsweek Magazine declared, “Like a sonic
shot of vitamin B12, the dance floor beats,
fuzzy guitar riffs and happy, shiny lyrics
keep the energy going.”
On February 18, 2011 the band joyfully
celebrated its 34th anniversary with a
triumphant return to their hometown of
Athens, GA. Wig-wearing, boa-draped,
glitter-covered fans came from near and far
to celebrate this historic event, which saw
the band deliver a sizzling 90 minute set that
turned Athens’ Classic Center into a cosmic
dancehall. The concert was released on a
CD, DVD and Blu-ray entitled The B-52s
With The Wild Crowd! Live in Athens, GA.
In a review of the CD, Chuck Howard from
Scripps Howard News Service proclaimed,
“How The B-52s have maintained their
endearing vitality after all these years is a
wonder, yet fans who hear With the Wild
Crowd! will doubtless wish immortality on
this uplifting band.”
In January 2013 Keith Strickland announced
that he had made a decision to stop touring
with the band. In a statement he said, “I will
continue to be in The B-52s -- I will just not
tour. My barnstorming days have come to
an end, but I wholeheartedly support Cindy,
Fred and Kate’s decision to continue.”
As they take their party-music revolution
into the 21st century the B-52s show no
signs of slowing down, serving up their own
unique blend of music and showmanship to
millions of fans around the world.

MBT Education Program
T
he Wade Bennett King Education
Series is a community engagement program provided by the theatre for public, private, and home schools in Whatcom, Skagit,
Island, and upper Snohomish counties. This
exceptional program enriches school curricula while providing students with the cultural
experience that comes from early exposure to
professional live performance. When available, study guides pertaining to each show are

in their classrooms. Question-and-answer
sessions are frequently offered after the shows,
providing an opportunity for the students to
interact directly with the actors.
During the 2014-2015 school year, the
theatre hosted almost 15,000 students and
teachers at performances ranging franging
from puppet theatre and modern dance to
Click, Clack, Moo
A presentation of the Wade Bennett King Education Series
traditional plays and musicals. The Education Series often features stage adaptations of
well-known children’s literature, providing an
opportunity for young people to look at reading and stories in a whole new way. To borrow
a quote from Faustworks Mask Theatre, the
goal of the Education Series is to “excite the
student to continue learning well beyond the
performance they have just seen.” For many
students this is the only live theater experience they have had.
Our 19th Education Series began in
October 2014 with Cirque Mechanics and
concluded with Click, Clack, Moo in May.
Education brochures for the 2014-15 Season
featured the names of all business sponsors
and community donors whose support makes
this program possible. MBT is dedicated to
honoring and raising community awareness
about the strong commitment our sponsors
make to the children of Bellingham and
surrounding areas. For more information
about the Education Series please contact
Alison C. Terry, Program Manager, at (360)

by the Frank King Family in memory of their
son Wade.

Mount Baker Theatre:
A Community Legacy
Adapted by Katharine Conrad
Courtesy of Mount Baker Theatre
Nestled in the heart of downtown Bellingham, the Mount Baker Theatre (MBT) is a
wonderfully preserved example of the “movie palaces” built across the United States
during the early 20th century. It opened on
April 29, 1927, and has been in continuous
use ever since, earning a place on the National Register of Historic Buildings in 1978.
Drawing more than100,000 patrons to live
performances each year, MBT has provided enjoyment to generations of audiences
and continues to be a major attraction in
downtown Bellingham. The theatre building is owned by the Bellingham-Whatcom
Public Facilities District and managed by the
nonprofit Mount Baker Theatre organization. The dedicated staff operate the business
and continue to restore and improve the
building.
The theatre was built as part of the Fox
movie and vaudeville circuit and designed
by architect Robert Reamer, whose other
designs include Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre,
Spokane’s Fox Theatre, and the Bellingham
Towers. For MBT, he selected a Spanish-Moorish theme, intending for the lobby
to resemble “a captain’s cabin on a Spanish
galleon.” To achieve this effect, master craftsmen used feathers to paint a wood grain
on the plaster ceiling. Even with modern
lighting, many visitors today do not realize
that the ceiling does not include even one
piece of wood.
MBT was built at a turning point in entertainment history and is uniquely known as a
“transitional theatre” designed for both silent
movies and vaudeville. It has a projection
booth, screen, and Wurlitzer pipe organ, plus
a full stage, orchestra pit, and dressing rooms
for performances. Six months after it opened,
the first successful talking film was released,
and soon after that, radio stations made
entertainment available in living rooms from
coast to coast. Due to this, the entertainment
industry experienced drastic changes. Silent
films disappeared, and the stars of vaudeville
found a new home on the radio airways. New
theatres were designed for either films or live
performances, but not for both. MBT still has
all of its film and performance capabilities, as
well as original custom-made furnishings and
fixtures, and welcomed back a refurbished
Wurlitzer this past fall.
MBT thrived as a cinema until the 1970s,
when multi-screen complexes became the
norm. The 1,500-plus seat theatre was too big
for the commercial film market, and there
was a real threat that, like many other movie
palaces, the building would be demolished.
A group of citizens – dedicated supporters
Charles LeCocq, Jim Zervas, Jean Gorton, and
Edward Harris among them – calling themselves the Mount Baker Theatre Committee
rallied the community to save the theatre, and
in 1984 the building was purchased by the
city of Bellingham. During the next 10 years,
the committee and the city worked together
to plan the future of the theatre, and in 1993
the committee, renamed the Mount Baker
Theatre Corporation, signed a 20-year lease
to manage and restore the theatre. A capital
campaign raised $1.6 million to renovate the
stage and backstage to accommodate large
productions, refurbish the seats and carpet,
and restore the fixtures. Decades’ worth of
dust, tobacco smoke residue, and paint were
carefully cleaned away to restore the original
ornate decorations, and the theatre reopened
on September 29, 1995.
During the following decade, the storefronts
adjacent to the building were converted into
two smaller venues to accommodate more
diverse programming and provide additional
options for community use. With capacity for
about 120 people, the Encore Room primarily
hosts lectures, corporate functions, private
receptions, and cozy local productions. The
Harold & Irene Walton Theatre, originally
known as the Studio Theatre, is the home of
the popular MBT Rep program and seats up
to 300 people in a variety of intimate configurations, from cabaret tables to theatre-in-theround.
In 2008, MBT’s Main Stage and lobby closed
for nine months for “Phase II” of renova-
tions, which modernized its internal systems.
More than 1,500 LED lights replaced the old
incandescent lighting in the auditorium and
chandelier, recreating the special lighting
effects of 1927 with energy efficiency. A new
heating system replaced the old boiler, and
a much-needed air conditioning system replaced the giant fan apparatus. Other improvements included an updated sound system and
new security features.
Today the theatre hosts more than 300
events annually; the “MBT presents” series
features a carefully selected combination of
national tours and in-house productions,
while venue renters ranging from local community organizations to the biggest names in
entertainment utilize MBT services to present
both public performances and private events.
The rich diversity of presenters allows for
an equally rich variety of shows, including
Broadway musicals, rock concerts, classical
symphonies, stand-up comedians, ballets, and
much more. This once-neglected movie palace
is now the premier performing arts venue in
Northwest Washington with a legacy that can
continue to benefit the community for many
generations to come. See page 38 for more
MBT history.

Money Melody
Jekyll & Hyde
Mamma Mia!
By Ramona Abbott
Let’s say you and your sweetie are sitting
around on a Thursday night, wondering,
“Whatever shall we do this weekend? Hmm.
Perhaps we should go to a show. Let’s see what’s
playing at Mount Baker Theatre.”
“Oooh,” you say. “Here’s Broadway Show X.
Gosh, I’ve been wanting to see that for a long
time. But wait. It’s $69 each, plus fees! I’ve
heard those fees are astronomical, maybe $10
per ticket. Now we’re talking $160 for the two
of us. For a show? Maybe not.”
That’s one way to think of it. Here’s another.
Broadway shows are expensive. First, there
are the rights to the show, which are very expensive – think tens to hundreds of thousands
of dollars right there. Add in directors, actors,
costumes, props, stage design, lighting design,
stage dressing, wigs, hair, makeup, stage managers, prop managers, etc. And let’s not forget about the music! Add in musicians, conductors,
and all their associated needs, too.
And the entire thing has to be built: gaffers, stagehands, stage crews, carpenters, painters,
electricians. The list goes on and on. So by the time you get to a show playing on Broadway, what
might you expect to pay? We thought we’d take an illustrative look at show prices.
Of course, this depends on the night of the week and the quality of the seats. Let’s take a quick
spin through a typical Thursday night show in New York City:
Ticket Face Value
Fees Per Ticket
Total Ticket Cost
Orchestra, pref. - $149.50
$48.59
$198.09
Premium - $199.00
$64.68
$263.68
Yes. That’s right. For just two of you, you’ll be looking at $400-500 dollars. Now, if you’d like
to sit in the Mezzanine, far side, nose-bleed seats (like MBT’s value seats, only way higher up and
much farther away), you can get away with a hair under $200.
But not so fast. First you have to get to New York City. For the two of you, that’s $1,000 - $1,200.
Hotel? We looked at a range around Times Square, so you’d be decently close to Broadway. Let’s
say you fly in the night before the show and leave the next day (which might be insane, but we’re
just looking at the cost of seeing the show here, not visiting Aunt Tillie and Uncle Mort to boot).
For your basic Hilton in the financial district, that is going to set you back $600-$900. If you
want to go high class and stay at the Waldorf Suites, then you’re looking at $1,400-$1,950.
Let us review:
Tickets
Budget: $360
Medium: $400
Premier: $540
Flight
Coach: $1,000
Biz Class: $1,700
First Class: $2,250
Hotel

Total for 2 People
Well, alrighty then! And we haven’t even started thinking about meals. (Your faithful author
did take a spin through a few sites seeing how much a good steak dinner costs in NYC, and all
she can say is yowza. Perhaps a nice granola bar for supper instead.) All of a sudden, a couple
hundred dollars isn’t looking so bad.
“But,” you might say, “I don’t have to go all the way to NYC to see a touring Broadway show.
I can go to Vegas! Vegas is cheap.” To which your faithful author will reply: When was the last
time you were in Vegas? She used to think it was cheap too, probably because it used to be. Sadly,
no more. Now that Vegas is all about shopping, fine dining, and bringing along the entire wedding party for bachelor and bachelorette parties, the prices of everything there have spiked. So
let’s take a look-see:
Tickets
Budget: $120
Medium: $215
Premier: $278
Flight
Coach: $ 576
Biz Class: $1,000
First Class: $ 1600
Hotel
$ 100
$ 254
$ 375
Total for 2 people
$ 796
$1,465
$2,253
For a final comparison, let’s look at just popping down to Seattle. We’ll stay over one night, so
we don’t have to drive home in the wee hours.
Tickets (with fees)
Budget: $72
Medium: $208
Premier: $268
Gas
$ 50
$50
$50
Hotel
$ 100
$ 150
$ 200
Total for 2 People
$222
$408
$518
And that’s without dinner. Here in the ‘Ham, a lovely dinner for two should run you $40-$60,
tops. In Seattle, figure double that.
Seeing that same show here at MBT, your range of total costs for two people will range from
just $40 on the lowest end to $198 at the top. You can get premium seats and a great dinner, all for
less than the price of nosebleed tickets in Seattle. Plus, no driving, and you can be snug at home
in your own bed that very same night. What’s not to like about that? Just another reason to love
seeing touring Broadway shows right here at home!

MBT Presents:
Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers 7:30 p.m. | $32-62
Almost three decades after launching one of contemporary music’s most diverse careers,
Bruce Hornsby still makes joyful noise by tapping into a variety of genres, including pop, jazz,
bluegrass, country, and modern classical. Known for his instantly identifiable sound, Hornsby
is a songwriter at heart, committed to portraying his songs in changing ways that allow them
to expand organically. Fans would expect nothing less from a musician who has pushed his
artistic limits over the years, collaborating with the likes of Ricky Skaggs, the Grateful Dead,
Bob Dylan, Spike Lee, and many more. Nothing better illustrates this collaborative spirit than
Hornsby’s communion with his longtime band, the Noisemakers, a powerhouse ensemble with
impressive musical chops. The Noisemakers are comprised of JV Collier on bass, JT Thomas on
keyboards, Gibb Droll on guitar, Ross Holmes on fiddle, and Moyes Lucas on drums.
