Often our tickets are being marketed on secondary ticket websites before the operator of the website has even purchased tickets – and they are selling at prices far above the price you will pay through whartoncenter.com. Purchasing tickets to Wharton Center events through another source might result in paying too much for your tickets or paying for tickets that are invalid. If there is a problem with your tickets, you may not be able to receive help from Wharton Center’s Ticket Office as there will be no in-house record of your transaction. In addition, we are unable to contact you if there is a change in performance time, traffic notices, etc. To avoid being ensnared by unscrupulous ticket resellers: • Bookmark our website, whartoncenter.com for ticket and show information. • Sign up for our eClub to receive information directly from Wharton Center. We urge you to protect yourself by purchasing directly from the official source for Wharton Center tickets: at whartoncenter.com; by phone at 1-800-WHARTON (1-800-942-7866); or at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office at Wharton Center.

Approximate running time is 90 minutes. Continued on next page. 27 FROM THE DIRECTOR I have been asked several times why I chose a play that retells the story of Leopold and Loeb, and it’s a legitimate question. After all, it is the story of two wealthy, brilliant and privileged teenagers who commit murder, it happened 95 years ago, and we’ve certainly had more “crimes of the century” since then. But this story persistently intrigues and doesn’t want to go away; it keeps coming back to haunt us … and Stephen Dolginoff has given good reasons to again watch this tragic story unfold. Dolginoff’s musical is eerily fascinating as his music captures both the sinister nature of Leopold and Loeb’s crime and the complexity of their relationship. Dolginoff says the play is about the relationship and “its twists and turns, manipulations, shifts of power and ultimate surprise conclusion.” For audiences, the toxicity of a bad relationship and the consequences of such are ultimately the roller coaster ride of this show. With dark foretelling, the tag line in advertising for the Off-Broadway production was, “Relationships can be murder.” Yeah, no kidding. Dolginoff’s taut and hard-hitting script is the stuff of great theatrical drama set to a chilling and intoxicating score. This is what attracted me to the piece when I first saw it at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Audiences in the U.S. and around the world have been drawn to this re-telling of Leopold and Loeb as Thrill Me has had over 150 productions. I hope Thrill Me will thrill you as well. –Bert Goldstein BIOS MARK RYAN ANDERSON (Nathan).

Weil sie überzeugt sind, dass die Arbeit, die hier geleistet wird, ein bedeutsames Unterfangen ist. Anderenfalls würden sie nicht kommen. Es gibt so viele Orte, wohin sie gehen könnten. Wer hierherkommt, erkennt die Bedeutung dessen, was hier getan wird. Es sind große Musiker. Es sind großartige Persönlichkeiten. Sie wissen, dass sie ein Erbe weiterzugeben haben.

  • Arlene Sierra
    Arlene Sierra Urban Birds Arlene Sierra’s Urban Birds brings together three international soloists in a tour de force for three pianos with electronics, sampled birdsong, and percussion. The work combines spectacle with refined keyboard artistry, juxtaposing harmony, rhythmic drive, and sounds from nature. The work engages musically with one of the central preoccupations of our time: our relationship with the natural world. Urban Birds is in three movements: 1. Sylviid Babblers This movement features the extended song of the Blackcap with answers from related species known collectively as Sylviid Babblers, as well as from the pianos and a single crotale. 2. Skylark Loops A looped fragment of the Skylark's song is transcribed, manipulated, and repeated with percussive contributions from stopped piano strings and woodblock. 3. Cuculus-cornuta Cuckoo calls dominate this movement, punctuated by the guiro, until rogue elements are introduced in the form of an extended passage for pre-programmed Disklavier and the call of a very different bird: the South American Horned Screamer. Artists: Xenia Pestova, piano & percussion | Kathleen Supové, disklavier Sarah Nicolls, piano | Jose Miguel Fernandez, electronics Timing: 14’24 About Arlene Sierra London-based American composer Arlene Sierra writes music that takes its impetus from rich sources including military strategy and game theory, Darwinian evolution, and the natural world. The Guardian describes her work as “remarkably sure-footed… quirky and individual” and “startlingly fresh and assured”, while Time Out New York describes it as “spry, savage, sly and seductive.” Important commissions include Game of Attrition – New York Philharmonic, Art of War – BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Cicada Shell - Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, Insects in Amber – Cheltenham Music Festival, Neruda Settings – Tanglewood Music Festival, Hand Mit Ringen – Huddersfield Music Festival, Moler – Seattle Symphony and Urban Birds – PRS New Music Biennial.
