Welcome! 

Welcome, and thank you for visiting 

the Harris Center for the Arts. 

In addition to program notes for today’s 

show, inside this program guide you’ll 

find information about the many arts 

education programs offered by Folsom 

Lake College (page 7) as well as the 

college’s Innovation Center makerspace 

(page 12). There’s also a spotlight on 

some dance academies, one of the many 

local arts organizations that perform in 

the Center (page 14). Visit page 11 to 

learn about Center Gift Cards, Discount 

Ticket programs, Group Sales and the 

Center’s Perks Card program. To help 

you plan ahead, a listing of this season’s 

events is available on pages 60 and 61. 

Also within are acknowledgements of 

some of the cast that help make this all 

possible, including our members and 

and donors (pages 54-55) and sponsors 

(page 57) whose support of the Center 

is critical to its success, since ticket 

revenues alone simply do not cover all 

the costs of providing a world-class 

arts center. As you learn more about 

the Center and its programs, we hope 

you’ll also consider contributing to help 

us further expand the reach and impact 

of the Harris Center in this community. 

Again, thank you for attending today’s 

performance. We hope you’ll enjoy this 

great show, up close, and return for 

many more in the years ahead.

Falcon’s Eye Theatre 

Falcon’s Eye Theatre is the production

and Cinema at Folsom Lake College. 

Falcon’s Eye produced its first season 

of plays in 2007, and has been offering 

DANCE 

two productions each year ever since. 

The company is known for creating 

provocative theatre that looks into 

what it means to be alive and how we 

manage to live together. Students and 

community members are encouraged 

to audition for the productions and 

serve as on-stage or technical talent. 

MOSAIC Dance Company 

Folsom Lake 

College’s MOSAIC 

Dance Company 

performs a 

variety of dance 

styles including 

ballet, jazz, tap, 

hip-hop, lyrical, 

contemporary, 

African, and theatrical dance. 

The name derives from the group 

representation of a MOSAIC of 

diverse people, with different bodies, 

colors, shapes and sizes, ethnicities, 

religious affiliations, and ideological 

positionings… a MOSAIC not just of 

dance, but of life! Each semester is 

capped off with the signature “Evening 

of Dance” event featuring an all-student 

cast. Since 2007, FLC’s dance program 

has trained MOSAIC dancers who have 

had the opportunity to tour to places 

such as Hawaii, New York, and Los 

Angeles as performers. 

Music 

Folsom Lake College music ensembles, 

solo performance studies, and creative 

music studies provide students with the 

opportunity to develop performance 

skills by the study of music through 

THEATRE 

performance with a capstone 

experience in public performance. 

Students have the opportunity to join 

the 80-member strong college choir 

or instrumental ensembles ranging 

from jazz fusion to Afro Cuban Funk 

to traditional orchestras. Additional 

classes in commercial music 

performance and technology introduce 

students to the latest developments in 

the field. 

Visual Arts 

Folsom Lake College’s visual arts 

department seeks to give every student 

a solid foundation of concepts and skills 

that will lead to an open exploration of 

the historic, aesthetic, fine, and applied 

aspects of the visual arts. Visual arts 

students are instructed in a wide range 

of styles, techniques, and approaches 

supported by FLC Visual Arts faculty. 

Each spring, students have the 

opportunity of a 

public exhibition 

with the FLC 

Student Art 

Show held in the 

Harris Center’s 

Bank of America 

Gallery. 


Supporting the power 

of the arts 

Creativity not only powers the soul, but 

empowers your health. And research shows 

that they’re both linked in positive ways. 

So go ahead and let your artistic side flow. 

Learn to play a musical instrument, adventure 

to a new theatrical play, or join the dance 

class you’ve always wanted. And when you 

need a team of experts behind you, you’ll 

always have supportive partners in your 

care at UC Davis Health.

2019 Exhibitions 

Folsom Lake College Art Alumni Show 

May 24 - July 14, 2019 

The FLC Visual Arts Alumni Invitational 

exhibition at the Bank of America Gallery 

features a diverse range of works from 

representational to non-objective, as well 

as a variety of media. Each artist’s body 

of work captures the essence and investigative 

nature of the artist’s personal 

journey. The exhibition is representative 

of each artist’s aesthetics and reflects 

their experiential influences. 

Select FLC alumni were invited to exhibit 

their work. The artists in this exhibition 

are a diverse group. Some have gone on 

to pursue a B.A., M.A., or M.F.A., while 

others jumped straight into the job 

market. The artworks reveal fascinating 

personal stories and trace the artistic 

and professional trajectory of their lives. 

Many of these former FLC students keep 

in touch with their FLC instructors and all 

value the importance of their education at 

FLC, showing their ability to shine in the 

contemporary art world. 

A searching and deepening desire for the 

arts is what connects these artists. These 

individuals exemplify the vibrancy and 

multiple dimensions of the current art 

world.

and creation of awesome stuff! It connects students with Makerships, short 

internships designed to introduce students to the real world field in which they 

would work. 

A makerspace is a physical location where people gather to share resources and 

knowledge, work on projects, network, and build things. At Folsom Lake College, 

it's is a collaborative studio space, an informal combination of lab and workshop, 

and a creative environment for learning through hands-on exploration. 

Innovation Center programs and resources enable students from all disciplines 

to tackle open-ended, real world challenges, preparing them for careers 

involving innovation, creativity, and invention and helping them to become more 

competitive in a rapidly changing job market. 

The IC hosts workshops on the latest in digital fabrication and related 

technologies, including three dimensional-printing, laser cutting/engraving, 

computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining, bioprinting, virtual reality, 

and microcontrollers. It has grown into an inclusive and dynamic environment 

for students to collaborate on interdiciplinary projects and internships, and is 

home to courses and certificates in Digital Fabrication and the Internet of Things. 

The IC functions as a catalyst for instructional innovation, enabling the college 

to cultivate deeper relationships with local businesses, K-12 partners, transfer 

institutions and the community, and cements FLC’s reputation as a regional 

leader in STEM/STEAM education. 

Innovation Center programs are made possible by CCC Maker, a grant from the 

California Community College Chancellor’s Office, Workforce and Economic 

Division, as part of the Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy framework, 

and through the generous support of our local sponsors, including Inductive 

Automation, Intel, and the Bob and Star Pepper Foundation.

MARK HUMMEL'S 2019 SOUTHERN HARP BLOWOUT 

with Bobby Rush, Kenny Neal , James Harman and Jumpin Johnny Sansone, and 

Mark Hummel’s Golden State Lone Star featuring Anson Funderburgh 

Thursday, January 17, 2019; 7:30 pm 

Grammy Nominee Mark Hummel returns and, as always, his 

guests are stellar: Bobby Rush is a 2017 Grammy winner, Blues 

Hall of Fame Inductee, 10 Ten Blues Music Award Winner, B.B. 

King Entertainer of the Year, and Rolling Stone “King of the 

Chitlin’ Circuit” winner. Kenny Neal is a second-generation 

southern Louisiana bluesman, 2017 Grammy-nominee and 

winner of two Blues Music Awards for his Bloodline CD. Jumpin’ 

Johnny Sansone studied harmonica with Junior Wells and 

James Cotton; his former band Jumpin Johnny’s Blues Party 

was the foundation of the New Orleans-based The Iguanas. 

Appearing is blues supergroup Golden State/Lone Star Blues 

Revue. The Southern Blowouts are dedicated to the late Lazy 

Lester, who was on many of these shows since 2004. 

BIOS 

BOBBY RUSH 

Bobby is a 2017 Grammy winner, 

Blues Hall of Fame Inductee, 10 Times 

Blues Music Award Winner, B.B. King 

Entertainer of the Year and Rolling Stone 

"King of the Chitlin' Circuit” winner. 

Naming your album after a song entitled 

"Porcupine Meat” may seem a little 

unusual unless you’re Bobby Rush, who 

earned his first gold record in 1971 with a hit entitled “Chicken 

Heads.” He elaborates on his recent composition: “If a lady won’t 

treat me right, but she doesn’t want anyone else to have me, 

that is hard to digest.” Hence the lyric, “too fat to eat, too lean to 

throw away.” Porcupine Meat is Rush’s debut release for Rounder 

Records, and one of the best recordings of his astonishing 60- 

plus year career. Released in late 2016 the album went on to 

garner a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album after 

a debut at #1 on the Living Blues radio chart. Rush estimates that 

he has cut over 300 songs since he first began making music. 

He has been honored with four Grammy nominations, as well as 

41 nominations and 10 awards from the Blues Foundation, and 

a 2006 induction into the Blues Hall of Fame. 

But make no mistake: Rush is not your typical octogenarian. At 

age 84, he exudes the energy of a 20 year old, and is on the road 

for over 200 dates a year. His hectic tour schedule has earned 

him the affectionate title “King of the Chitlin’ Circuit.” Bobby 

completed US dates with the star-studded Take Me To The River 

Revue w/Charlie Musselwhite, William Bell & other Memphis 

star’s promoting the documentary of the same name last year. 

Rush has traveled the globe, and has performed in such faraway 

places as Japan and Beirut. In 2007, he earned the distinction 

of being the first blues artist to play at the Great Wall of China. 

His renowned stage act features his famed shake dancers, 

who personify his funky blues and the ribald humor that he has 

cultivated during the course of his storied career. 

Born Emmet Ellis, Jr. in Homer, Louisiana, he adopted the 

stage name Bobby Rush out of respect for his father, a pastor. 

According to Rush, his parents never talked about the blues 

being the devil’s music. “My daddy never told me to sing the 

blues, but he also didn’t tell me to not sing the blues. I took that 

as a green light.” 

Rush built his first guitar when he was a youngster. “I didn’t 



continued 

know where to buy one, even if I had the money. I was a country 

boy,” he says. After seeing a picture of a guitar in a magazine, 

he decided to make one by attaching the top wire of a broom to 

a wall and fretting it with a bottle. He also got some harmonica 

lessons from his father. He eventually acquired a real guitar, 

and started playing in juke joints as a teenager, when his family 

briefly relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas. The fake moustache 

Rush wore made club owners believe he was old enough to 

gain entry into their establishments. While he was living in 

Little Rock, Rush’s band, which featured Elmore James, had a 

residency at a nightspot called Jackrabbit. 

During the mid-1950s, Rush relocated to Chicago to pursue 

his musical career and make a better life for himself. It was 

there that he started to work with Earl Hooker, Luther Allison, 

and Freddie King sat in with many of his musical heroes, such 

as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, and 

Little Walter. Rush eventually began leading his own band in the 

1960s. He also started to craft his own distinct style of funky 

blues, and recorded a succession of singles for a various small 

labels. It wasn’t until the early 1970’s that Rush finally scored a 

hit with “Chicken Heads.” More recordings followed, including 

an album for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s Philadelphia 

International Label. 

Rush relocated one final time to Jackson, Mississippi in the 

early 1980s. He was tired of the cold up north, and he realized 

that setting up his base of operations directly in the center of 

the South would make it easier to perform in nearby cities 

on weekends. More indie label recordings followed. Songs 

like “Sue, A Man Can Give (But He Sure Can’t Take It),” “What’s 

Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gander Too,” and” I Ain’t 

Studdin’ You” became regional jukebox favorites in juke joints 

throughout the region, and many of those songs are still fan 

favorites that are an integral part of his live repertoire. Make 

no mistake, Bobby Rush is both a Bluesman and an entertainer 

of the highest order! 

KENNY NEAL 

If you want to experience the "Real Deal," 

take time out to find Kenny Neal. One 

of the strongest modern proponents 

of Baton Rouge swamp blues, Kenny 

Neal is a second-generation southern 

Louisiana bluesman who is cognizant 

of the region's venerable blues tradition 

and imaginative enough to steer it in 

fresh directions. Neal was born on 

October 14, 1957 in New Orleans. His dad, harpist Raful Neal, 

was a Baton Rouge blues mainstay whose pals included Buddy 

Guy and Slim Harpo (the latter gave three-year-old Kenny his 

first harmonica). 

At age 13, Neal was playing in his father's band, and at 17, 

landed a job playing bass for Buddy Guy. The guitarist recruited 

some of his talented siblings to form the Neal Brothers Blues 

Band up in Toronto (brother Noel later played bass behind 

James Cotton; five other Neal brothers also play in various 

bands) before returning stateside. In 1987, Kenny Neal cut 

his debut LP for Florida producer Bob Greenlee, an updated 

swamp feast initially released by Kingsnake Records as Bio 

on the Bayou. The following year, Alligator Records signed 

Neal and reissued the debut under the title Big News from 

Baton Rouge!! Young Neal was on his way. Neal's sizzling guitar 

work, sturdy harp, and gravelly, aged-beyond-his-years vocals 

served him well, and he cut four albums for Alligator Records 

between 1989 and 1994. An acclaimed 1991 stint on Broadway 

in a production of Mule Bone found him performing acoustic 

versions of Langston Hughes' poetry set to music by Taj Mahal. 

In 1998, Neal moved from Alligator to the blues division of 

the jazz-based Telarc Records, releasing three albums for 

the label: Blues Fallin' Down Like Rain (1998), What You Got 

(2000), and One Step Closer (2001). In the new millennium, Neal 

recorded sets for a variety of independent labels, including Easy 

Meeting (a 2003 collaboration with Billy Branch), Double Take 

(2004, a one-shot return to Alligator), and A Tribute to Slim Harpo 

and Raful Neal (released in 2005 for True Life Entertainment). 

Three years later, Neal hooked up with Blind Pig Records and 

released Let Life Flow in 2008, once again incorporating his 

gritty Louisiana roots with a sophisticated Chicago/Memphis 

soul approach. A second Blind Pig release, Hooked on Your Love, 

appeared two years later in 2010. 

In 2015, Neal released his first holiday-themed album, I'll 

Be Home for Christmas. It was his first album for Cleopatra 

Records, which also issued his critically acclaimed release, 

Bloodline in 2016. 

Kenny's 2016 release, Bloodline, was nomimated for a 2017 

Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album and also won two 

2017 BMAs (Blues Music Awards); one for Best Contemporary 

Blues Album and the other for Best Contemporary Male Blues 

Artist. Kenny Neal, a true living blues Legend is THE REAL 

DEAL and more poised than ever to deliver the blues like no 

one else can! 

JAMES HARMAN 

James was born and raised in Anniston, 

Alabama-quickly picked up on the black 

blues and soul music being played on 

juke boxes and the radio. He sang in 

the church choir until age 16 when his 

family moved to Panama City, Florida, 

where he found himself surrounded 

by like-minded blues lovers. Wearing a 

fake moustache, young James slipped 

into a still segregated black nightclub to see Little Junior 

Parker’s show. He was totally overtaken by the blues and soon 

became a regular, known as “That boy who sings like a man” 

by patrons. 

While still in his teens, he started playing juke joints and 

dance clubs throughout the South. His performances became 

legendary-he was “tapped” by talent scouts, signed and taken 

to Atlanta, Georgia in 1964 to begin his recording career at age 

18. He had a series of nine singles (45 RPM records) released 

during the mid to late 60's on obscure southern labels. He tried 

several restarts in new home bases including Chicago in ’65, 

New York in ’66, Miami in ’68 and New Orleans in ‘69. 

During his stay in Miami Harman was befriended by fellow 

record collectors Henry Vestine, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite 

of Canned Heat, who persuaded him to move to California, 



continued 

promising to help him get re-started. Harman made his move 

to SoCal in 1970, and true to their word, Canned Heat insisted 

on Harman’s Icehouse Blues Band as their opening act on many 

big shows. Icehouse Blues Band became established at venues 

such as The Golden Bear, The Ash Grove, The Troubadour and 

The Lighthouse, which all booked real blues artists. 

James Harman was soon in demand for his own shows, as well 

as backing every living blues artist who was touring without 

a band. He also opened literally hundreds of shows for artist 

who did have their own band. Icehouse Blues Band was a real 

working blues band. In 1978 James tired of using band names 

and started billing his act as James Harman Band. 

Some alumni include Phil Alvin, Bill Bateman, Gene Taylor, 

David “Kid” Ramos, Michael “Hollywood Fats” Mann, Stephen 

Taylor Hodges and Jeff “Big Dad” Turmes. All of these players 

did long stints in the Harman Band. James is often cited as 

a band leader who gave many now famous bluesmen their 

start. Harman stopped ground touring in 2000 and now only 

takes blues festival dates around the world. Nathan James has 

been James Harman’s regular band guitar player since 1997 

when he was 19 years old... he turned 37 in 2015 and he's still 

Harman's favorite! Nathan is also James’ recording engineer 

and co-producer on his own projects, as well as projects they 

produce for other artists. 

James Harman’s side project: Bamboo Porch Revue features 

guitarist Nathan James playing rollicking, low-down, juke-joint 

blues over James Michael Tempo’s Afro-Cuban percussion, 

Troy Sandow’s sparse, pulsating acoustic bass and Marty 

Dodson's masterful drumming. Through his long career starting 

in the early 60s James Harman has built up an enormous 

song catalog and had 20 of his original songs used in movies 

and television. He has been nominated for 20 pestiferous W. 

C. Handy (Blues Foundation) awards. He was inducted into 

the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, and he is the harmonica 

player of choice on many ZZ Top releases, as well as live with 

them on many international TV shows. James Harman has 

had 33 releases, on many different labels; he currently tours 

every spring, summer and fall, working in as many as 29 

countries. Harman was nominated for a Grammy Award, and 

won two Blues Music Awards for his contribution to the Blind 

Pig release, Remembering Little Walter in 2014. He is a one of 

a kind song writer, producer, musician, showman, vocalist and 

internationally known bluesman. 

in 2015 Electro-Fi release Bonetime was nominated for an 

unprecedented five BMA awards: Song Of The Year, Album Of 

The Year, Traditional Album Of The Year, Harmonica Player and 

Traditional Blues Male Artist Of The Year. 

Harman’s newest Electrofi Cd is FinePrint. He appears on ZZ 

Top leader Billy F Gibbons’s newest CD, Big Bad Blues. and he 

also appears on Gibbons tour dates. 

JUMPIN' JOHNNY SANSONE 

Jumpin' Johnny Sansone was raised in 

West Orange, New Jersey. His father had 

played the saxophone in Dave Brubeck's 

band during World War II and by the time 

he was age 12, his son had learned to play 

the saxophone, guitar, and harmonica 

and saw Howlin' Wolf in concert. He 

later studied blues harmonica playing 

by studying both Junior Wells and James Cotton. Sansone 

attended West Orange High School. He left New Jersey in 1975 

on a swimming scholarship at a college in Colorado. Sansone 

toured in the 1980s supporting Robert Lockwood, Jr., David 

"Honeyboy” Edwards and Jimmy Rogers. His former band 

Jumpin Johnny's Blues Party was the foundation of the New 

Orleans offshoot group The Iguanas. Johnny also toured with 

guitarist Ronnie Earl. Most recently he was part of Tab Benoit's 

Voice Of The Wetlands Revue. Johnny was featured in HBO's 

Treme in a scene at House Of Blues. 

MARK HUMMEL GOLDEN STATE/LONESTAR BLUES REVUE will 

be the backing band for the featured artists with Mark Hummel 

acting as Master of Ceremonies and Band Leader. 

Blues Supergroup Mark Hummel Golden State - Lone Star 

Blues Revue, featuring Grammy-nominated Harp Blower/ 

Vocalist/ Bandleader Mark Hummel with guitar legend Mike 

Keller - guitar (Fabulous Thunderbirds/Marcia Ball/The Keller 

Brothers), another guitar sensation Rusty Zinn (Jimmy Rogers, 

Kim Wilson), drummer Wes Starr and bassist RW Grigsby 

is an all-star cross country melding of California musicians 

Hummel and Grigsby with Texans Funderburgh, Keller and 

Starr. Golden State - Lone Star Blues Revue's self-titled debut 

album (Electro-Fi Records/April 2016), was recorded by Kid 

Andersen at the famed Greaseland Studio in San Jose, CA, and 

co-produced by Funderburgh & Hummel. 

MARK HUMMEL 

Harmonica man/singer/songwriter/ 

bandleader/author/impresario mark 

hummel was born in New Haven, CT but 

moved to Los Angeles as a newborn. 

Hummel took up an interest in blues 

harp & rock-blues music in high school 

but soon discovered the originators like 

Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson & 

Little Walter. Soon after, Hummel frequented the Ash Grove club 

on Melrose Ave. in LA where he saw (in a three month period) 

three blues legends he would later work with on a regular 

basis; Charlie Musselwhite, Brownie McGhee (w/Sonny Terry) & 

James Cotton. By 1985, Mark Hummel's Blues Survivors hit the 

road full time and continue till the present (Hummel's memoir, 

Big Road Blues: 12 Bars on I-80 recounts many road exploits). 

In 2014 Blind Pig Records released Remembering Little Walter 

(a recording of a Hummel Blues Harp Blowout). The CD was 

nominated for a Grammy Award and won two Blues Music 

Awards. Hummel's latest CD is the brand new all instrumental 

HarpBreaker, with GSLS on some of it.

ANSON FUNDERBURGH 

Long time Golden State/Lonestar Blues 

Revue guitarist Anson Funderburgh was 

born in 1954 in Plano, Texas where the 

youngster first picked up the guitar in 

high school and was hit by the blues bug 

through Jimmy Reed Lightnin' Hopkins. 

By 1978 he had started Anson and 

the Rockets with vocalist/harmonica 

player Darrell Nulisch with the group being signed to Black Top 

Records a couple of years later. In 1986 Nulisch was replaced 

by Blind Sam Myers who stayed with the group until his death 

in 2006. The Rockets went on to win ten Blues Music Awards 

(formerly known as the W.C. Handy Blues Awards). It was widely 

regarded as the highest honor for blues artists in the United 

States. Funderburgh has played with Delbert McClinton (and 

joins his Sandy Beaches Cruise every year), Boz Scaggs, Snooks 

Eaglin, Earl King and Jimmy Buffet. Funderburgh is also the 

inspiration for Beavis of Beavis and Butthead as Mike Judge, the 

creator of those characters, worked as a Rocket for three years. 

MIKE KELLER 

Mike grew up in a musical family, his 

parents were musicians and his father 

played jazz, soul and rock in local bands 

around the Fargo area. Growing up he 

was influenced by Hendrix and Stevie 

Ray Vaughan and through them learned 

about the masters of the blues. Some of 

Mike's influences include Kenny Burrell, 

Freddie, Albert and B.B. King, Otis Rush and Jimmy Reed and 

later the slide techniques of Elmore James, Earl Hooker and 

Robert Nighthawk. These influences are apparent in his guitar 

playing which is pretty amazing! After getting an offer to play 

with Double Trouble (and becoming the first guitaist since Stevie 

Ray Vaughn), he moved back to Texas. "I did the Double Trouble 

gig for about two and half years, then played with Doyle Bramhall 

for four years, Marcia Ball for a year and a half, and then got the 

call to join the Fabulous Thunderbirds. 

Rounding out the GOLDEN STATE-LONE STAR BLUES REVUE 

are RW GRIGSBY on bass & famed Austin, Texas drummer WES 

STARR. Between these two old Rome, GA natives, they've played 

with a who's who of famed musicians - Omar & the Howlers, 

Junior Brown, Jimmy Vaughan, Asleep At The Wheel, Gary 

Primich, Kim Wilson, Mike Morgan, Carlene Carter, Hal Ketchum, 

Earl King, James Cotton and many more!

FRANK BAUM (Author) In 1900, L. Frank Baum wrote The 

Wizard of Oz simply to please children. He first adapted it to 

the stage musical in 1902 and numerous theatrical versions 

have been produced over the years. Baum was born to 

a wealthy oil family in 1856 and endured many financial 

failures, including a chain of theaters, a small variety store 

and a newspaper. He wrote 14 tales, creating a series about 

the enchanted land of Oz prior to his death in 1914. Several 

other authors continued the magical saga, creating a 40 

volume series. It is estimated that Baum’s best-loved tale of 

Dorothy’s journey through the world of Oz has entertained 

audiences totaling more than one billion people throughout 

the world. 

HAROLD ARLEN (Composer) and E.Y. HARBURG (Lyricist) hold 

a very special place in the world of movie and stage musicals. 

Together, their talents have brought new dimensions to a 

remarkable roster of successful cinematic and theatrical 

attractions. In The Wizard of Oz, Harburg and Arlen created a 



continued 

score and songs which are as fresh and meaningful today as 

they were when this classic film fable was first introduced in 

1939. From the poignant Academy Award-winning jolly bell 

ringer, “Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead!,” Harburg and Arlen 

take the music-lover and the fairy-tale-fancier down the 

yellow brick road to adventure, enchantment, laughter and 

some warm whimsical comments on the human condition. 

It’s a story, a message, a sheer magic which delights each 

time it is retold.

MARSHALL BRICKMAN (Book). Films (author or co-author): 

Sleeper, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Manhattan Murder Mystery, For 

the Boys, Intersection; (as writer/ director): Simon, Lovesick, The 

Manhattan Project, Sister Mary Explains It All. Television: “The 

Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” (head writer), “The Dick 

Cavett Show” (head writer/co-producer). He has published in 

The New York Times, The New Yorker, Playboy and other periodicals 

and was the 2006 recipient of the Writers Guild of America’s 

Ian McClellan Hunter Lifetime Achievement Award. Jersey 

Boys, his first venture into musical theatre (with co-author 

Rick Elice), won four Tony Awards including Best Musical. The 

Addams Family, his second theatrical venture (also with Rick), 

ran over 700 performances on Broadway and had national and 

international tours. Upcoming projects include musicals about 

Roy Rogers and the Woodstock Festival of 1969. 

RICK ELICE (Book) co-wrote Jersey Boys (winner 2006 Tony 

Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009 Olivier Award for Best 

Musical) with the great Marshall Brickman. His play, Peter and 

the Starcatcher, received nine 2012 Tony Award nominations 

(including two for Rick), won five (more than any play of the season), 

and is one of the most produced plays in North America. 

Also on Broadway, Elice wrote The Addams Family (with Marshall 

Brickman, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa), which also 

had productions on tour across North America and in Europe 

and South America. Getting ready for Broadway in the fall 

of 2018, The Cher Show, directed by Jason Moore. Heartfelt 

thanks to those whose work in the theater makes him grateful 

for the day he was born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince, 

Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Tune, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Kushner, 

Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, David, Strong, Gaudio, 

Valli, McAnuff, Trujillo, Seller, Suarez, Moore, Gattelli, Coyne, 

Brickman, Timbers and, eternally, Roger Rees. Rick thinks 

about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey much. He does 

now. 

BOB GAUDIO (Composer) wrote his first hit, “Who Wears Short 

Shorts,” at 15, for the Royal Teens, and then went on to become 

a founding member of The Four Seasons and the band’s principal 

songwriter. He also produced the hit “You Don’t Bring Me 

Flowers” for Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand (Grammy 

nomination, Record of the Year) as well as six albums for 

Diamond, including The Jazz Singer. Other producing credits 

include albums for Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, 

Michael Jackson and the soundtrack for the film of Little Shop 

of Horrors. Several songs co-written with Bob Crewe have 

been cover hits for such artists as the Tremeloes (“Silence 

Is Golden”), the Walker Brothers (“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine 

Anymore”) and Lauryn Hill (“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”). With 

his wife, Judy Parker, Gaudio produced and co-wrote the Who 

Loves You album for The Four Seasons and one of Billboard’s 

longest-charted singles (54 weeks), “Oh, What a Night.” A high 

point in his career came in 1990 when, as a member of the original 

Four Seasons, Gaudio was inducted into the Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall 

of Fame, which hailed him as “a quintessential music-maker.” To 

this day, Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli still maintain their partnership...on 

a handshake. 

BOB CREWE (Lyricist). “New York was pregnant in the fifties,” 

says Bob Crewe, “gestating with possibilities.” Crewe and music 

partner Frank Slay became independent writer-producers when 

the category hadn’t yet been invented. In 1957, they wrote and 

produced “Silhouettes” for The Rays, which skyrocketed to #1. 

Suddenly, producers in demand, they launched Freddie Cannon’s 

“Tallahassee Lassie” and Billy & Lillie’s “Lah Dee Da.” Crewe’s 

1960’s unprecedented producing success with The Four Seasons 

birthed a new sound, striking a major chord in American pop. 

“Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl,” 

“Ronnie” – all smashes! When lead Frankie Valli demanded a 

solo turn, Crewe and Bob Gaudio wrote (and Crewe produced) 

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” which eventually became the 

century’s fifth most-played song. Crewe ran hot with artists from 

Vicki Carr, Oliver and Lesley Gore to Mitch Ryder, co-writing with 

Charles Fox the soundtrack for Jane Fonda’s film Barbarella. 

Then his own Bob Crewe Generation exploded with “Music 

to Watch Girls By.” In 1972 Bob was in L.A., where he revived 

Frankie Valli with “My Eyes Adored You” by Crewe and Kenny 

Nolan. They also co-wrote Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” 

(#1, July ’75), which was a hit again on the soundtrack of Moulin 

Rouge (#1, June ’01)...David Ritz 

DES McANUFF (Director) is a two-time Tony Award-winning 

director and former artistic director of the Stratford Festival. He 

is also Director Emeritus of La Jolla Playhouse, where during his 

tenure he directed over 35 productions of classics, new plays

IN MEMORY 

It is difficult to imagine producing anything without the presence of beloved Dodger 

family members James Elliot Love and Jean-Michel Quincey. Friends to everyone they 

met, James and Jean-Michel stood at the heart of all that is good about the theatrical 

community. They will be missed, but their spirits abide.

2017 Grammy® Award-Winner – Regional Roots 

2019 Grammy® Award Nominee – Regional Roots 

“Gifted with a gorgeous voice and a flair for composing resonant 

Hawaiian songs, his debut album established him as a major, 

innovative figure in contemporary Hawaiian music.” — Maui News 

“One of Hawai’i’s brightest new stars…His soulful voice 

showcases his many influences growing up from classical, 

R&B, and soul, but his 'ike (Hawaiian knowledge) and love for 

our culture keeps it right where it needs to be” — Jaz Kaiwiko'o, 

Producer and Radio Personality 

In 2017, Kalani Pe'a's debut album E Walea took home the 

Grammy® Award for "Best Regional Roots Music Album." It hit 

number 1 on the iTunes World Music Charts and number 12 

on the Billboard World Albums Charts. In Hawai‘i, Kalani Pe'a 

was awarded the 2017 Na Hoku Hanohano Award (Hawai‘i’s 

“Grammy") for Best Hawaiian Contemporary Album, making 

history "as the first Hawaii recording artist EVER to have 

received a Grammy Award and a Na Hoku Hanohano Award for 

the same project. No one has accomplished that before." — 

Honolulu Star-Advertiser 

Accolades continue with the August 2018 release of his second 

album, No ‘Ane‘i, which reached #1 on iTunes World Music Charts

ARTIST BIO 

KALANI PE‘A 

Kalani Pe'a sings everything from classical, musical, ballads, 

R&B, soul and, of course, Hawaiian music, displaying his 

wide-ranging talents as a songwriter and music composer. It 

started at age four when Pe'a was diagnosed with a speech 

impediment; his mother Pua Leonard “introduced my son to 

singing and music to help him pronounce his words.” Leonard 

and Pe'a’s father Arthur (Ata) Pe'a, who comes from a musical 

family, encouraged Kalani to take vocal lessons and choir. By 

the time he was 8 years old, Pe'a was winning numerous talent 

competitions statewide. 

At age 18, he won Brown Bags to Stardom, and won first place 

in the National Association Teachers of Singing Competition 

in Colorado/Wyoming chapter, in men’s classical and musical 

divisions, while a student at Colorado Mesa University 

(Mesa State College), where he received his degree in Mass 

Communications. “From speech therapy to being a college 

graduate in communications,” noted Pe'a’s father with humor, 

“Kalani can’t stop talking and singing.” 

In the process of planning his debut album, Pe'a contacted 

Dave Tucciarone, a 13-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-Winning 

Engineer and Producer based in Honolulu. “I had to travel every 

weekend from Maui to meet Dave for seven months, and just 

sing my heart out,” Pe'a noted. The hard work paid off with the 

2017 Grammy® win, followed by his first Na Hoku Award. This 

successful collaboration continued with Kalani’s second CD, 

No ‘Ane‘i [We Belong Here], garnering rave reviews and a 2019 

Grammy Nomination. Raves award-winning vocalist Darlene 

Honolulu Magazine quoted Kalani relating to his Hawaiian 

cultural foundation: “From a Hawaiian perspective, we don’t 

believe in just Kūlia I ka Nu’u, striving for the highest mountain 

and you get to the top and that’s the end. We continue to soar 

and continue to climb. In Hawaiian, we call it ‘akahi a ho’omaka, 

the beginning of every journey. We don’t believe there’s a start 

and finish line, like a marathon. This is just the start for me, even 

though I’ve been singing for nearly 30 years.” 

BAND 

AIAU KOA, guitar, is known for his performances with many of 

Hawai‘i’s leading artists, including Keali‘i Reichel and Kalani 

Pe‘a. He is also an instructor and practitioner of the martial 

arts style of Ai Pilau Kenpo, drawn to its heart and soul that 

exemplifies the spirit of "ohana" or family. 

KALANI MILES, guitar, was raised in Hawai‘i among many 

diverse cultures, including his own Samoan background. An 

accomplished guitarist, he has come to appreciate various 

genres of music, old and new, traditional and contemporary. 

WAILAU RYDER, bass, was born on O‘ahu but grew up in the 

Puna region of the Hawai‘i Island. One of his major influences 

was his aunt, the well-known musician and Hawaiian educator 

Lei'ohu Ryder. He is also a gifted vocalist and slack key guitarist.

IMPERFECT DANCERS COMPANY 

ANNE FRANK — WORDS FROM THE SHADOWS 

Thursday, January 31, 2019; 7:30 pm 

IMPERFECT DANCERS COMPANY brings to ANNE FRANK 

-WORDS FROM THE SHADOWS, an inspirational tribute to a young 

woman’s life, spiritual strength and humanity in the midst of the 

darkest time in the 20th century: the Second World War. This 

work of extraordinary beauty and grace honors the memory 

of Anne Frank whose touching story has moved and inspired 

generations all over the world. This special tribute was created 

to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of Anne Frank’s 

arrest and deportation. The powerful and moving production 

begins after the liberation of Auschwitz. Anne’s father, the only 

survivor of the Frank family, returns to the Secret Annex where 

he receives his daughter’s diary from Miep Gies. While reading 

it, he discovers aspects of her personality that he did not expect. 

He relives their absconding and the tragic events that followed. 

ABOUT THE SHOW 

ANNE FRANK: Words from the Shadows 

The diary of Anne Frank invites us to think about the dark period 

in our history, seen through the eyes of an adolescent. It warns 

of the dangers of intolerance. This theme is still relevant today, 

because we are still disturbed by anything that deviates from 

our own opinions of what is “good” or “normal.” 

"It is impossible to understand certain things," said Primo Levi, 

writer and Auschwitz survivor "but it is necessary to be aware, 

and it is our duty to keep their memory alive." Asked whether the 

story of Anne Frank is more important than that of the millions 

of other victims, Levi replied: "One single Anne Frank moves us 

more than the countless others who suffered just as she did but 

whose faces have remained in the shadows. Perhaps it is better 

that way; if we were capable of taking in all the suffering of all 

those people, we would not be able to live.” 

"Anne Frank, parole dall'ombra" ("Anne Frank, Words From 

the Darkness") is dedicated to Anne Frank, and was made to 

commemorate the seventieth anniversary of her arrest and 

deportation. 

Choreography: Walter Matteini and Ina Broeckx 

Dancers: ImPerfect Dancers Company 

Decor and costumes: Ina Broeckx

Music: Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Richter and Pärt 

Libretto: Walter Matteini and Stefano Mecenate 

Premiere: May 11, 2014, Teatro Verdi, Pisa (Italy) 

ABOUT THE DANCE COMPANY 

IMPERFECT DANCERS COMPANY was founded by Walter 

Matteini and Ina Broeckx in January 2009. Since its inception, 

this eight-strong contemporary dance company has proven 

tirelessly creative as it evolves, expands its repertoire, and 

delights audiences with its sensitive, original and compelling 

performances. In doing so, it has secured its rightful place in 

the artistic landscape. 

The source of that creativity and what makes the company so 

uniquely different is its conscious diversity. As dancers and 

human beings we all start from imperfection constantly striving 

for the unattainable; individual and collective perfection. It is this 

paradox that is encapsulated in the company’s name. 

In this pursuit of excellence and precision, IMPERFECT DANCERS 

COMPANY sets ever-higher standards and pushes itself to 

new pinnacles of achievement. In just five years, the Company 

has regularly toured throughout Europe [Germany, France, 

the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Belgium], and has taken its 

passionate and intensely physical repertoire to Africa, South 

America, Canada, the US, the Festival de danse de Cannes, 

Benefit Gala for the Alzheimer Stuttgart, Tanz-Tage Festival 

Regensburg, Kultur Tempel Festival Karlsruhe, Chutzpah 

Festival Vancouver, Cali International Dance Festival, Visa2Dance 

Tanzania, just to name a few. ImPerfect Dancers Company has 

been the resident dance company of the Pisa Opera and Ballet 

Theatre in Italy since the 2011 season. 

Artistic Director Walter Matteini is a rapidly rising star of the 

European contemporary scene. His work is deeply human 

and accessible, energetic and emotional, and pushes past 

conventional interpretation and breathes fresh life into music 

and stories which inspire him. 

Co-Director and Co-Choreographer Ina Broeckx, a native of 

Belgium, has had an extraordinary career throughout Europe 

and is the Company’s costume and set designer as well as one 

of the dance members. “Our choreographic language is intensely 

physical and athletic, and hinges on our quest to explore and 

understand the human soul in all its different facets. Our work 

seeks to create an emotional connection with the audience. 

While we usually draw inspiration from history and literature, 

our choice of themes is always guided by careful consideration of 



continued 

severe factors: the cultural depth, the potential to be developed 

in an original and modern fashion, the artistic interest and 

the emotions they evoke. When we translate our ideas into 

movement we always start with the music and then the sole 

purpose is to convey emotion.” 

Mix brilliant dancers from around the world, the deep passion of 

Italy and the vision of one of the great emerging choreographers 

of the century. The result is the perfection of IMPERFECT 

DANCERS COMPANY, the most sought-after troupe from one of 

the world’s most inspired landscapes. 

are now accustomed to seeing violence. It has become difficult 

to distinguish reality from fiction. Terrible events do not shock 

us as they should. This interaction with the soldiers catapults 

the audience into the historical period. 

Scene 3 – Traditional Jewish music “Improvisation” 

From the darkness of the stage the sound of a violin slowly 

emerges, silencing the soldiers. As the musician is lit, the 

audience can see him, dressed in his ''stripped pajamas''. While 

he plays, the stage lights slowly reveal the secrets the stage 

holds. There is a striking contrast between the violence and the 

brutality of the soldiers and the purity and beauty of the music.

Scene 1 – Traditional Jewish choir 

Overture 

The piece opens with a traditional Jewish choir, singing one of 

the songs of their repertoire commemorating the Holocaust. 

Note: A live choir performance is not a sine qua non. If possible 

we try to involve the city's Jewish community, if not, we use a 

CD recording. 

Scene 2 – Interaction with the audience 

Soldiers enter the auditorium. 

We decided to introduce this scene for two different reasons. 

The first one is historical: German soldiers used to raid 

theaters during performances, seizing Jewish artists, political 

opponents, etc. The second one, and more important to us: we

Scene 7 – Max Richter Last Days 

The life in hiding becomes harder every day.

Scene 8 – Arvo Pärt Mein Weg 

In the Secret Annex they learn that the number of deportations 

has significantly increased and they are overwhelmed by fear. 

The future seems ever more uncertain. Daily life becomes 

increasingly difficult. There is great agitation and fear. Betrayed, 

the occupants of the Secret Annex are discovered and deported.

Scene 9 – Arvo Pärt Variations for the Healing of Arinushka 

The train journey. 

The audience witnesses the despair, the pain and the fatigue of 

human beings forced into horrific inhuman situations. There is 

also the desire to resist. 

On stage: 


Scene 10 – Traditional Jewish music Composer Oyfn Pripetshik 

- Klezroym 

Upon their arrival in the concentration camps, women with 

children were separated out to be executed immediately. The 

song is a lullaby that mothers sang to calm their children while 

they went into the gas chambers together. 

On stage: 

Auguste and Peter and Edith, Anne and Margot, crouched at the 

bottom of a totem of clothes and shoes 

Soldiers with gas masks 

Scene 11 – Arvo Pärt Stabat mater dolorosa 

A leap into the past. 

Otto’s memories are fragmented and confusing. Memories flash 

through his mind, like meteorites, in no particular chronological 

order. Back in the Secret Annex, Anne and Peter start exploring 

new feelings and emotions towards each other. 

On stage: 

Duet Anne and Peter 

Scene 12 – Max Richter Infra 4 A bombing. 

Anne runs. Only during a bombing could she romp freely without 

fear of making any noise. The families are still in the Secret 

Annex. The focus is on the family van Pels and their exuberance. 

Anne and Peter continue their game under the watchful eye of 

Otto.

to survive begins to wane. Despite her optimism and vitality, 

Anne fails in her attempts to raise the morale of the others in 

the Secret Annex. 

On stage: 

Alternation of solos and duets 

Scene 14 – Traditional Jewish music ''Gam gam'' version 

Morricone 

From the ceiling, hanging on chains, descend the striped pijamas. 

The characters change their clothes on stage; the lighting is 

such that only their silhouettes are visible. The audience hears 

a song that children sang upon their arrival in the concentration 

camps. 

Scene 15 – Albinoni Adagio 

The audience is catapulted into the concentration camp, where 

all that is left is pain and despair. Every day the prisoners 

struggle to survive, to maintain their dignity, to remain human 

beings. 

On stage: 

From group sections into solos 

First to die: Hermann 

Second to die: Doctor Pfeffer (Fritz) 

Third to die: Edith 

Scene 16 – Max Richter Infra 4 

The death march. 

Anne and Margot are separated from the other family members. 

The two young women struggle to survive, but the fatigue and 

ill-treatment are too much for them to bear. Margot is the first 

to succumb. She urges Anne to go without her, but Anne does 

not want to leave her. Margot dies and Anne, now left alone, also 

surrenders to death. 

On the left side of the stage: the group of families, some of the 

members with their backs to the audience (i.e. those who are 

already dead). Still alive, facing the audience, are Peter, Auguste 

and Otto. On the right side of the stage: Anne and Margot begin 

their death march. In the end, Anne lies down on the lifeless 

body of her sister and dies. Then Auguste turns her back to the 

audience, followed by Peter, as the both slip into death. Otto is 

the only survivor. 

Scene 17 – Bach AIR Adagio on the 4th String 

Back to Otto's present. 

He has finished reading the diary. Anne gave her words to the 

world – words that have remained in the shadows until now. She 

is free at last. The audience witnesses a fictitious, hypothetical 

farewell between Otto and Anne. The farewell that never took 

place. The farewell of a young girl who has not had time to live 

her life. 

On stage: Anne's solo 

Duet Anne and Otto 

Scene 13 – Vivaldi II Mov. Concerto for oboe RV 447 Do Major 

A feeling of despair starts spreading among those in hiding in 

the Secret Annex. The characters turn into themselves. The hope

catalog of songs. The album quickly earned another Gold Record award 

for Byrd but he was trying to persuade MCA to let him out of his contract 

so he could pursue a different direction. MCA finally allowed Byrd out 

of his contract and he quickly signed with RCA Records and got to work 

on a new project, It's About Time that would be released in November of 

1999 and would reach the top 10 quickly with the single "Put Your Hand 

In Mine." Byrd has said that this album is the most Traditional Album he 

ever released and therefore his favorite. 

Tracy Byrd became a household name on the Country Music Scene 

in 1993 when his third single, called "Holdin' Heaven," off of his MCA 

Records, self-titled debut album, hit #1 on the Billboard Country Charts. 

The album also included the remake hit of Johnny Paycheck's "Someone 

to Give my Love to" cementing Byrd as a Traditional Country Troubadour!! 

The Debut Album went on to be certified Gold, a reward signifying sales 

in excess of 500,000 copies. 

Byrd's second project, No Ordinary Man, kept building on the momentum 

the first album created. The first radio single from it called "Lifestyle's 

of the Not so Rich and Famous" reached #4, followed by another top five 

hit, "The First Step," then with the release of the smash, chart topping 

hit "Watermelon Crawl" the second album crossed the half million sales 

mark and certified Gold. The realease of the 4th and last single on this 

project moved Byrd to the top of both the Billboard Album and Singles 

charts. The song was called "The Keeper of the Stars" and it shot to #1 

on the singles charts and pushed the album to Double Platinum Status, 

which certifies sales of over two million copies. "The Keeper of the Stars" 

won Academy of Country Music's "Song of the Year" award in 1995. 

His third studio album, Love Lesson, is one of Tracy's favorites. It included 

the title track, another top five hit single for Byrd, also included were the 

top 15 singles, "Walking to Jerusalem" and "Heaven in My Woman's 

Eyes", Byrd's personal favorite. A 4th top 15 single was released called 

"4 to 1 in Atlanta" which Byrd performed live on the David Letterman 

Show. The "Love Lesson's" album also certified Gold. 

Big Love became Byrd's fourth studio album with it's release in the fall 

of 1996. It spawned two more top five singles with the release of the 

title track and "Don't Take Her She's All I've Got" The video's of both of 

these songs reached the top of CMT's Video Chart's and also earned 

Byrd his first TNN television special titled Tracy Byrd's Big Love on which 

Byrd invited guests Johnny Paycheck, Mark Chesnutt, and Asleep at the 

Wheel. The album Big Love became Tracy's fourth consecutive Studio 

Album to be certified Gold. Tracy said that this meant more to him than 

anything because he knew Fans weren't just listening to his hit songs 

on the radio, they were laying down their hard earned money to own a 

copy of their own and that was flattering. 

The fifth project on MCA was titled, I'm From the Country. The CD also 

contained a Beautiful Ballad called "I Wanna Feel That Way Again" Both 

Tracy Byrd crossed into the new Millineum with the release of his 

album 10 Rounds. It took off on the release of a duet with his longtime 

hometown buddy and hero Mark Chesnutt. The song was called "A Good 

Way to get on my Bad Side" and was a milestone for Byrd to finally get 

to record with his good friend. Then came the release of the party song 

of the year, "10 Rounds with Jose Cuervo" which shot to the top of the 

Billboard Charts to notch Byrd's third #1 single. He also hit the top 10 

with his spanish guitar flared "Just Let Me be in Love." 

Next came The Truth About Men, which first released the title track which 

was a comedic look at what men are really like. It was a team effort 

with Tracy's buddies Blake Shelton, Andy Griggs, and Troy and Eddie 

of Montgomery Gentry lending their talents to the song and the video. 

This album also released the top five smash "The Drinkin' Bone" which 

became a crowd favorite sing along song. 

Byrd was then moved to BNA Records, the sister label of RCA, and they 

released his second Greatest Hits project, another feat that not many 

artists experience, two Greatest Hits projects!!! It debuted in the top five 

of the album charts and became Byrd's sixth Gold Album, and sent him 

to over six million records sold!!! 

Byrd then left the major label and released an album on his own, 

appropriatelly titled Different Things. Although this project was not 

commercially successful, it garnered Byrd his highest critical acclaim 

of his career with Billboard magazine choosing it as one of their Top 10 

Country Albums of the Year!!! 

Through all of these years, Byrd became a promoter favorite on the road, 

performing over 4000 exciting shows across the United States, Canada, 

Mexico, Europe, and Australia from 1992 until 2009! He then say's he 

needed a break to take care of himself and his most precious thing, his 

family, wife Michelle, daugter Evee, and sons Logan and Jared, who 

had taken a backseat to his career for years. He did not perform from 

2010-2013, but in 2014 he got back to the music with a new band and a 

new found sobriety and love of the thing he enjoys so much. Say's Byrd, 

"These day's my life has great balance, with my music being a part of it, 

not all of it. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed it more!!" 

Byrd went back in the studio in June of 2016 and started work on his first 

project in 10 years. Recorded completely in Tyler, Texas at Rosewood 

Studios, that album is appropriatelly titled, All American Texan, which is 

exactly what he is and has always been. This album features eight tracks 

written by Byrd, a fact he is very proud of. The album was released in 

October of 2016 and has been very well received by his fans and critics 

alike.

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET 

COMPANY of 50 

Artistic Director: Elena Radchenko 

The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow 

during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s, 

when many of the great dancers and choreographers of the 

Soviet Union's ballet institutions were exercising their newfound 

creative freedom by starting new, vibrant companies 

dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian 

Ballet but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to 

accept new developments in the dance from around the world. 

The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, was 

founded by and incorporated graduates from the great Russian 

choreographic schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm. 

The principal dancers of the company came from the upper 

ranks of the great ballet companies and academies of Russia, 

and the companies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw. Today, the 

Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with over 

50 dancers of singular instruction and vast experience, many of 

whom have been with the company since its inception. 

In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko 

was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first 

permanent artistic directorship of the company. Ms. Radchenko 

is the founder of the Russian National Ballet Theatre, and she 

has focused the Company on upholding the grand national 

tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new 

talents throughout Russia, with a repertory of virtually all of the 

great full works of Petipa: Don Quixote, La Bayadere, The Sleeping 

Beauty, Swan Lake, Raymonda, Paquita, Coppelia and La Sylphide, 

as well as productions of, among others, The Nutcracker, Sylvia, 

and La Fille Mal Gardee.

PROGRAM NOTES 

ACT 1 


In Cinderella's father's house, Cinderella is sitting by the fire and 

then cleans the dishes. Her stepmother instructs her daughters 

to sew her a scarf and then leaves. Sisters begin to fray and tear 

the fabric for a scarf. They blame the incident on Cinderella. The 

stepmother has a fit, and it stops with the appearance of the 

royal dancing-master. He presents an invitation to the ball and 

tries to teach ballroom dancing to the nasty sisters. Cinderella's 

stepmother fights over the scarf and then the all depart for the 

ball without Cinderella. 

Cinderella is left alone and has sad dreams of the royal ball. 

Suddenly the room is filled with light, and in front of Cinderella, 

the Fairy appears - her godmother, surrounded by the Fairies 

of the four seasons. She will fulfill the desire of Cinderella go to 

the ball and gives her a beautiful dress and shoes. She warns 

Cinderella that midnight she must return. When the clock strikes 

midnight, her will turn into pitiful rags. Happy Cinderella, not 

believing her luck goes to the ball, surrounded by the entourage 

of the four seasons Fairies. 

Scene 2 : Ball in the Royal Palace 

The royal palace is filled with guests. Ladies and gentlemen 

dancing. The young prince also dances and talks with guests. 

Then appears the stepmother, who wants to marry off her 

stepdaughters to the Prince. The Prince and guests wonder, 

watching their ridiculous behavior. Suddenly the room is in the 

radiant with Cinderella and her beautiful dress. The enchanted 

prince can not take his eyes off her. He invites the beautiful 

stranger to dance and Cinderella and the Prince dance oblivious 

to anyone around them. But suddenly we hear the chimes of 

midnight! Cinderella had forgotten about it! She runs away and 

loses her slipper. Then the Prince runs after her, but only finds 

her slipper. 

INTERMISSION 

ACT 2 


The Prince desperate. He wants to find the beautiful girl that 

ran off leaving her slipper. Many beautiful women from different 

countries and parts of the world come to claim they left the 

slipper behind, but no one who tries fits the slipper. Then Prince 

then goes in search of the beautiful stranger! 


Cinderella recalls how she and the Prince were dancing at the 

palace. The sisters brag in front of her impressions of the ball. 

The silly sisters again grapple, figuring out which of them is 

better than the other. They try to calm their stepmother. Then 

suddenly there are sounds of a fanfare! The Prince and his 

entourage enter the house. Sadly, he has to try the slipper on all 

the sisters. Of course it is too small and does not fit. Prince goes 

to leave, but the stepmother takes the slipper and tries to put on 

Cinderella, who can no longer look at the frenzy the stepmother 

and her sisters are causing and drops the second slipper. All 

the people are surprised to look at the dirty and poorly dressed 

girl. Then the Fairy godmother appears and tells everyone to 

leave the room. The Prince, immediately recognizes her as the 

beautiful stranger in a shining dress. They dance together.

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET: GALA PROGRAM continued 

The Rose Adagio from Act I of Sleeping Beauty 

Choreography by: Marius Petipa 


The Sleeping Beauty, a ballet in a prologue and three acts with 

choreography by Marius Petipa, had its first production in 1890 

at the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg. In the last quarter of the 

nineteenth century, ballet on the Imperial Russian stage had sunk 

to a very low level artistically. The director of the Imperial Theatres, 

Ivan Vsevolojsky, a talented and cultured man, was determined to 

raise the artistic level on all counts, and as a first step he approached 

the composer Tchaikovsky to supply him with a ballet score. Owing 

to the slight success in Moscow of his previous attempts at ballet 

music (Swan Lake), it is not wholly surprising to find Tchaikovsky 

insistent on having minute and detailed instructions from the 

choreographer himself. These he followed slavishly, down to the 

exact number of bars required in a given scene or variation. This 

seems to have inspired his imagination for the resulting enchanting 

score remains possibly his best ballet music. 

The "Rose Adagio" of Act I of The Sleeping Beauty is one of ballet’s 

most iconic set pieces. The scene takes place at the beginning of the 

ballet at Princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday party. Celebrations are 

already underway: the atmosphere is festive and Princess Aurora 

receives her four royal suitors and their gifts of exquisite roses. The 

music and choreography by which Princess Aurora is presented to 

her four suitors is instantly recognizable as the Dance of the Little 

Swans in Swan Lake or the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker. 

The key fact about the Rose Adagio is its technical difficulty. After 

a sparky allegro entrance, the ballerina has to steady herself for a 

series of unsupported balances, taking off from each of her four 

princes in turn as Tchaikovsky's music builds up to an expectant 

climax around her. Marius Petipa (1818-1910), served as ballet 

master of the Imperial Theatre in St. Petersburg from 1862 to 1903, 

where he choreographed such classics as Don Quixote, The Sleeping 

Beauty, Raymonda and Le Corsaire. His work is considered one of the 

greatest achievements of ballet history. 

The Quatre 



While Tchaikovsky is known for his composition of several glorious 

pas de deux’s in his prolific ballet works, little is known about 

his non-excerpted pas de deux. In this sensational display, Elena 

Radchenko has taken two of those pas de deux’s and choreographed 

them into a mélange of pure beauty and elegance. 

The Ocean and the Pearls from The Little Humpbacked Horse 


Choreography by: Saint- Léon 

Arthur Saint-Léon's 1864 ballet Le Petit cheval bossu, ou La Tsar- 

Demoiselle ("The Little Humpbacked Horse, or The Tsar Maiden") 

was based on Pyotr Yershov's celebrated poem "Konyok-gorbunok,", 

meaning "Hunchback Horse" and composed for the Imperial 

Ballet (today the Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet). The work premiered on 

December 13, 1864 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in 

St. Petersburg, Russia. The ballet was a massive success, with 

its fantastical tableaux set on an enchanted Isle of mermaids, 

or another set in a magical Under-water world. The ballet's 

final act included a Grand divertissement celebrating the many 

peoples of the Russian Empire. Cesare Pugni's music was equally 

successful, and was heard at Imperial Balls for decades thereafter. 

The resoundingly successful premiere was attended by Emperor 

Alexander II. The ballet lived on for many years in the repertory of 

the Imperial Ballet and the Kirov Ballet, and of the Bolshoi Theatre 

in Moscow in a version by Alexander Gorsky (1901). Marius Petipa 

revived the ballet in 1895 as The Tsar Maiden for the Ballerina Pierina 

Legnani. Alexander Radunsky choreographed his own version to a 

score by Rodion Shchedrin for the Bolshoi Ballet in 1960, a version 

which was filmed in 1961 with Maya Plisetskaya as the Tsar Maiden 

and Vladimir Vasiliev as Ivanushka. In 2009, Alexei Ratmansky 

choreographed a new version for the Mariinsky (Kirov) Ballet, also 

using Shschedrin's score. 

A version of Saint-Léon's original was filmed in 1989 for Russian 

television with graduates from the Vaganova Academy of Russian 

Ballet in the lead roles. The film included narrated sections and 

illustration from a popular 1964 Russian version of Yershov's book, 

Cinderella, Act III: Adagio 


Choreography by: Rostislav Zakharov 

In Act III, Cinderella remembers the Ball as if it were a beautiful 

dream, but finds the remaining glass slipper in one of her pockets. 

She quickly hides it as the Stepsisters return, proudly displaying 

the oranges the Prince gave them. The Stepmother announces 

the arrival of the Prince with his Jester and courtiers in search 

of the owner of the glass slipper they bear with them. Each of the 

Stepsisters in turn vainly tries to squeeze an oversized foot into the 

tiny slipper. When the Prince notices Cinderella sitting shyly by the 

fire, he asks her father if she may try it on. As she moves to do so, 

the second slipper falls from her pocket. The Prince is overjoyed in 

spite of Cinderella's ragged appearance, and asks her to marry him. 

Cinderella forgives her Stepmother and sisters for their previous 

cruelty to her. 

As the Prince returns the glass slipper to the Fairy Godmother, the 

kitchen is transformed into a magic glade where Cinderella and her 

Prince dance a romantic pas de deux. The guests return to acclaim 

their new Princess at her betrothal. 

Adagio from Romeo and Juliet 



The ballet closely follows Shakespeare’s tragedy. There is an 

emphasis on the social conflict between the two feuding families 

from disparate social classes who are reconciled over the tombs 

of the two lovers. This pas de deux is from the famous scene 

where Juliet dreams of Romeo outside on her bedroom balcony. 

He appears below in the garden. They declare their eternal love for 

one another before the lovers reluctantly part. 

Grand Pas de deux from Act III of Don Quixote 

Choreography by: Alexander Gorsky 


The full-length ballet of Don Quixote concentrates on the love affair 

between Kitri and the barber Basil from Volume Two of Cervantes' 

masterpiece. The characters of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza 


RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET: GALA PROGRAM continued 

merely serve as a thread to link the various scenes of the ballet. This 

striking pas de deux performed by Kitri and Basil takes place during 

their wedding festivities, and is one of the most famous dances for its 

flair and stamina. After a bold, lyrical entrance, the ballerina and her 

partner dance a sustained duet followed by an engaging, diamondlike 

variation for her and a spectacular solo for him. A joyous climax 

is reached with her famous fouettés (quick whipping movement of the 

raised leg while turning on the other) and his tours a la seconde (turns 

on one leg with the other raised and extended throughout). 

Pas de Quatre 


Choreography by: Anton Dolin 

"Pas de Quatre" was originally choreographed at the suggestion 

of Benjamin Lunley, by Jules Perrot in 1845, with music by Cesare 

Pugni at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. In the nineteenth century, 

ballerinas were worshiped, even idolized. Their salaries were the 

equivalent of what is paid to star athletes today. They developed 

enormous egos and had feuds with their rivals. It was a real feat for 

Benjamin Lumley to get Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Cerrito, 

and Lucile Grahn to dance together, and Perrot to choreograph. Of the 

great dancers of that time, only Fanny Elssler did not participate. The 

first performance of "Pas de Quatre" sent critics into a frenzy. Perrot 

had the difficult task of making each ballerina look her best. 

An additional challenge was the order in which they were to appear 

with the last solo as the best spot. The manager, Benjamin Lumley, 

solved the problem by suggesting that they dance according to age 

— the youngest first and the oldest last. Suddenly everyone wanted 

to be first, but it was decided that Grahn would lead, followed by Grisi, 

then Cerrito and, finally, Taglioni. Only four performances were given 

with the original cast. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were in the 

audience at the third performance. 

In 1941 Anton Dolin re-choreographed the ballet for Ballet Theatre 

and in 1949 for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. I saw this ballet with 

Alicia Markova in the role of Taglioni, Mia Slavenska as Grisi, Alexandra 

Danilova as Cerrito, Nathalie Krassovska (and later Gertrude Tyven) as 

Grahn. Many, many dancers have danced this ballet since. 

Fokine employed the music of Le Cygne from Saint-Saens's Le 

Carnival des Animaux. The dance, evoking the final struggle for the life 

of a dying bird, became particularly identified with Pavlova. It remains 

one of the most famous solo dances ever created, representing for 

many the very essence of ballet dancing. 

Selections from Paquita 

Choreography: Joseph Mazilier/Marius Petipa 

Music: Leon Minkus 

Paquita is one of the most celebrated displays of technical fireworks 

from the old Imperial Russian Ballet. Marius Petipa made a series of 

revisions to the famous French ballet Paquita when he was balletmaster 

in St. Petersburg, the most important being in 1881 when he 

inserted a trio and Grand Pas to new music by Ludwig Minkus as a 

showcase for the considerable talents of his ballerinas at that time. 

These gems of Petipa’s choreography have been treasured in Russia 

ever since and remain wonderful examples of his genius. Paquita was 

originally staged at the Paris Opera in April 1846. The first Paquita was 

Carlotta Grisi. A year after its creation it was staged in St. Petersburg, 

where Marius Petipa danced the leading role – his first steps on a 

stage to which he would devote the rest of his long career in Russia. 

As chief ballet-master in St. Petersburg, Petipa revived the ballet in 

1881 for his favored ballerina, Yekaterina Vazem, and with the new 

music by Ludwig Minkus, he created the dazzling Grand Pas, which 

was revived by Pyotr Gusev for the Bolshoi Ballet. 

The ballet takes place in Spain during the Peninsular War and tells 

of a Gypsy girl, Paquita, who saves the life of Lucien, and officer 

in Napoleon’s army, from a plot to murder him. Lucien’s father, a 

French general, wants his son to marry Dona Seraphina, daughter 

of the Spanish Governor, but the Governor looks at the proposed 

alliance with disdain and bribes the Gyspy King Idigo to kill the 

young Frenchman. Idigo offers Lucien a glass of drugged wine, but 

Paquita, who knew about the plot, changes the glasses. When hired 

assassins enter the Gypsy’s hut, Paquita and Lucien escape. Lucien 

approaches his father and introduces Paquita during a ball. The 

Governor is arrested and Paquita discovers that she is a daughter of 

noble parents, and thus she is able to marry Lucien. 

Allegro 

Choreography: Vitaly Zabelin 

Music: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 

Tchaikovsky’s last symphony, nicknamed “Pathetique,” which in 

Russian translates to “passionate” or “emotional,” was composed 

between February and August of 1893. Tchaikovsky conducted its 

debut in St. Petersburg on October 28, 1893, nine days before his 

death (it is said that five days after he conducted his final symphony, 

he drank a glass of unboiled water, which was the cause of many 

cholera cases in St. Petersburg at the time, although some refute that 

it was an accidental death). The choreographer for this work is also a 

member of the company, and sets the music to the third movement 

from Tchaikovsky’s famous symphony.

Music by Camille Saint-Saens 

Choreography by Michel Fokine

HARRIS CENTER SUPPORTERS 

MAKE GREAT SHOWS COME TO LIFE 

WAYS TO SUPPORT THE HARRIS CENTER FOR THE ARTS! 

Whether you give through our membership program or make a donation beyond membership, your generosity supports the 

Center’s mission to bring the best in the performing arts to the region. Your philanthropic support makes possible the many 

services and programs the Harris Center for the Arts provides and are typically eligible for tax deductions. 

MEMBERSHIP 

Over 500 fans of the Harris Center support the Harris Center 

each year through the Membership program. Memberships 

come with a variety of special benefits that may reduce the 

deductibility of one's gift. See the opposite page for more 

information on the Harris Center Membership Program, or 

contact Kathleen Leavitt with Harris Center Membership 

Services: (916) 608-6851 or kathleen.leavitt@HarrisCenter.net 

NAME A SEAT 

Your legacy, in your words. Make a statement with your favorite 

seat — or your favorite person’s favorite seat — and put some 

personality into a customized plaque. On top of your $1000 

donation being 100% tax-deductible, you'll support bringing 

great shows, up close, to the entire region. Name a seat 

donations are deposited in the Harris Center’s Endowment 

Fund. Larger naming opportunities exist as well. 

OTHER DONATIONS 

Donors making outright gifts with no expectation of tangible 

benefits see 100% of their contribution support Harris 

Center services and programs. Undesignated gifts provide 

valuable general operational support, while designated gifts 

can support a special program like Youth Arts or an area of 

particular interest to the Donor. 

SPONSOR A PROGRAM 

Assure that your favorite artist or art form is presented on 

stage, while also receiving visibility in the community and/ 

or access to other valuable sponsor benefits. See page 57 for 

information about Corporate Sponsorships. 

PLANNED GIVING & THE CIMAROLI SOCIETY 

Named in honor of long time Folsom residents and 

philanthropists Sevy and Neva Cimaroli, the Cimaroli Society 

recognizes those interested in leaving a legacy for future 

generations to enjoy and experience artistic work, celebrate 

cultural traditions, and participate in the creative process. 

Legacy gifts strengthen the Harris Center’s endowment, 

provide much-needed annual income, and support our 

extraordinary mission to build community and enrich the lives 

of people throughout California’s capital region. By including 

the Harris Center in your long-term plans, you can achieve 

the goals that are important to you – benefiting yourself, your 

family, and an institution that you value and believe in. 

In addition to a bequest in your will, there are other ways 

you may make a legacy gift. For example, you can name the 

Harris Center as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life 

insurance policy. If you are looking for a way to supplement 

your income, you can establish a charitable gift annuity, or a 

charitable remainder trust, which are gifts that will support 

the Harris Center and pay you, and/or other designated 

beneficiaries, income for life. 

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE 

Gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and employer 

matching gifts can apply to a membership or to a donation 

with no benefits. 

A Charitable IRA rollover, Qualified IRA Charitable 

Distribution and gifts from Donor Advised Funds can be used 

to provide support to the Harris Center for non-membership 

gifts such as endowment contributions, youth arts programs 

and/or general operating support, but cannot be used to fulfill 

membership payments (because donors are not permitted 

by law to receive privileges or benefits in exchange for this 

form of giving). 

For more information on Donations and Other Ways to Give, 

contact the Folsom Lake College Advancement office at 

916-608-6643 or howards@flc.losrios.edu

Volunteers 

A Key Part of the Team 

More than 1,500 volunteers help to keep 

the Center running smoothly. Last year 

alone, volunteers contributed nearly 

35,000 hours as gallery docents, ushers 

and office assistants, and community 

ambassadors—helping patrons to have an 

outstanding arts experience. They are a 

key part of the Center’s success—it literally 

could not operate without their support.

The art of performance 

draws our eyes to the stage 

Our community’s commitment to arts and culture says a lot about where we live. Theater brings us 

together from the moment the lights go down and the curtains come up. 

We’re proud to salute Harris Center for the Arts.
