O’Brien TPAC President and Chief Executive Officer We hope your experience with the live performance today is a fun, meaningful, and even magical time for you, your family, and your friends. In this premiere of a new publication format for TPAC, we focus on how live performance is meaningful and relevant in education. As we note in a story on the next page, great works of art are unique records of human experience. Naturally offering a wealth of connections to every subject taught in our schools, they are powerful tools for teaching all ages. As 45 states including Tennessee implement the new federal Common Core Standards, now, more than ever, TPAC Education and the performing arts are making a powerful impact in the classroom. It’s not hard for our teaching artists, educators or staff to get a handle on what Common Core means, because we’ve practiced discovery-based learning for more than 30 years. In the simplest terms, Common Core and our arts education strategies teach problem-solving, critical thinking, literacy across subject areas, collaboration and other skills critical to academic achievement and later success in college and career. Read on! I hope you are proud to claim one of the largest and most comprehensive arts education programs in the nation as Tennessee’s own. Just as the magic and power of the live performance has engaged you and yours today, the performing arts make learning fun, meaningful, and even magical for the children of your community. With kindest regards, Hats off to Amerigo, Too! who coordinates the special arrangements for us. The meal, the atmosphere, and the service are outstanding. I can’t imagine a better way to honor our volunteers and their contributions to TPAC.” TPAC greatly appreciates Amerigo’s generosity to help honor the people who contributed 5,866 hours of their valuable time last season, valued at $129,873.24. Donning colorful hats—some themed to Broadway shows—100 volunteers enjoyed the elegance of the three-course meal and atmosphere for the fun, festive event. Service pins were presented to volunteers celebrating special anniversaries, including 25 years for Deb and Howard Thompson, the first time anyone has marked that length of time at TPAC. Amerigo has three restaurant locations in Nashville, Brentwood, and Memphis, Tennessee, and one in Jackson, Mississippi, offering a casual, cozy and upbeat atmosphere and serving new world Italian cuisine. The award-winning bistro chain, established in 1987, features a wood fire oven grill and an American and Mediterranean twist on traditional Italian food. The Nashville restaurant is conveniently located near TPAC at 1920 West End Avenue and offers both lunch and dinner menus for everything from an intimate pre-show date to large group celebrations. For the seventh consecutive year, Amerigo, An Italian Restaurant, recently donated a three-course meal for TPAC’s annual “Hats Off to Volunteers.” “We had another great time at Amerigo as we celebrated another great year with our volunteers,” said Mary Blair, TPAC’s Assistant House Manager and Volunteer Coordinator. “We’re extremely grateful for our partnership with Amerigo and Ali Gensert, the restaurant’s sales and marketing manager, Amerigo.net • 615-320-1740 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////page 13 TPAC Education Collaborates with Montreal Company on English-language PinoCCHio The English version of Pinocchio premieres to student audiences in Nashville this school year, following an adventuresome collaboration between TPAC Education and a theatre company with similar artistic vision and educational mission. U.S. and Canada — sometimes performing in French, sometimes performing in English, and sometimes (like New Orleans) performing in both languages. from Page to stage, from schools to TPAC stage The innovative teacher will use Pinocchio to engage students in learning that will help them to master such skills as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication — all fundamental to the thrust of the current education standards. “When we started talking about whom to approach about the translation, really only one organization came Impressed and inspired by their experience with TPAC to mind and that was TPAC Education,” said Bélanger. Education, when touring its adaptation of Alice in “Their artistic vision and educational mission is similar to ours.

The play is also an ArtSmart focus work, central to cross-curriculum learning in up to 80 classrooms this fall. Marian Graham For example, Marian Graham, a 6th grade teacher at May Hughes School, created a detailed project plan around Pinocchio for interactive project-based learning connected to 23 specific state and federal standards. A perfect match for the new Common Core criteria, Graham’s plan came out of her participation in a recent Arts Integration Institute, TPAC Education’s professional development program for educators. Graham and other educators at the Institute noted how Pinocchio can be a vehicle for learning across subjects, including history, geography, language arts, and even math. TPAC Education knows that great works of art — unique records of human experience — naturally offer a wealth of curriculum connections. Students meet multiple learning objectives when they engage in the creative process. As they explore connections between Pinocchio and academic subjects, they gain greater understanding in each area. “Common Core emphasizes the skills children need to perform well in school and to be successful in college and careers.

TPAC is able to offer these meaningful and personal encounters with works of performing and visual arts because of the generous financial support of our community.

Our approach is based on inquiry, interaction, and hands-on experiences geared to different learning styles. It promotes literacy, logic, creativity, and communication across curriculum. We encourage students to make their own connections to the art, to school, and to the world. Education is so much more than learning to spell, calculate sums, or memorize dates. What skills do children need to position them for success in school and life? TPAC Education supplies an answer to that question,” she said. The first affiliate of the renowned model created by the Lincoln Center Institute, TPAC Education educators and teaching artists have refined the practice of arts integration in the classroom for more than 30 years. 4 Programs for Children + 1 for Adults = TPAC education TPAC administers one of the most comprehensive education programs of its kind in the United States, serving more than 1.3 million children statewide, from preschool to high school over three decades. Students attend performances. Teaching artists visit schools, where the arts are proven to advance learning and development.

BRIAN MAY, CBE, PhD, FRAS is a founding member of Queen, a world-renowned guitarist, songwriter, and performer; also a Doctor of Astrophysics, 3-D stereoscopic photography authority, patron to a number of charities and a passionate campaigner for animal welfare. Brian penned 22 of Queen’s top 20 hit singles including “We Will Rock You”, now a feature of almost every sporting event worldwide, and recently a star live feature of the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. We Will Rock You also gave its name to the worldwide hit Queen musical now celebrating its 11th anniversary in London, and about to embark on its first US Tour; Brian and bandmate Roger Taylor are co-musical supervisors for the production. Following four decades of worldwide success with Queen and as a solo artist, most recently Brian has been writing and performing with Kerry Ellis, originator of the role of Meat in the London WWRY production. Brian’s interest in 3-D Photography sees the October publication of “Diableries - Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell”, Brian’s fourth book. As an advocate for animal welfare, Brian is a leading inspiration in the ongoing fight against the proposed UK badger cull, and the return of blood sports. Brian can be contacted via his website www.brianmay.com. ROGER TAYLOR. Although best known for his powerhouse role in Queen, Roger Taylor is anything but a drummer confined to his kit. With rock ‘n’ roll in his veins all through his schooldays, he has always been a highly active, vocal member of Queen. He famously wrote Queen’s No.1 hits “Radio Ga Ga”, “Days of our Lives” and “A Kind of Magic”, amongst others. Each of the band’s 15 studio albums included compositions by him including such eternal classics as I’m In Love With My Car and Sheer Heart Attack. He was also the first to make a solo album, 1981’s Fun in Space. To date he has released four solo albums, which, aside from his work with Queen, further highlighted Taylor as an musician and writer with a strong sense of identity, a wide musical perspective, and a defined political awareness, more often than not conveyed in characteristic irony. He is kept busy these days overseeing Queen’s worldwide hit musical We Will Rock You and as the creator and driving force behind the Queen Extravaganza, the hugely successful official Queen tribute band.

Member FDIC capstarbank.com Katie Postotnik and Steven Grant Douglas, Ghost The Musical tour. © Joan Marcus 2013 Amazing. Incredible. Spectacular. A Seriously supernatural experience. That’s what you’ll say about Ghost, the musical with more high-tech special effects and illusions ever to haunt the TPAC stage. February 25 – March 2, 2014 Most of you are familiar with the spirited tale in the highest-grossing film of 1990, which starred Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg. The stage version closely follows the love story about Molly and Sam, who is killed in an apparent mugging. Instead of following the light and going to heaven, Sam becomes a ghost and stays behind with Molly. Speaking through Oda Mae, an eccentric psychic, he is eventually able to contact Molly, trying to save her from his friend Carl, who was actually behind Sam’s death. The pop score includes the memorable “Unchained Melody” from the film, along with new songs by rock legends and Grammy Award winners Dave Stewart (The Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard (songwriter/producer for Michael Jackson’s Thriller). “In the movies, you can make anything happen. In the theatre, it takes real ingenuity to summon up ghosts and physical disturbances from beyond the grave. [Ghost] succeeds spectacularly with the help of illusions,” said The Daily Telegraph. “Looks set to keep audiences laughing, gasping and holding back tears for a long time to come… Terrific illusions, thrilling hi-tech designs and real heart, humor and suspense.” “Ghost the Musical is a gleaming piece of stagecraft whose smoke, mirrors, full-throttle heartache and beguiling special effects put it light years ahead of many of its competitors,” wrote London’s Time Out.
