2013-2014 Annual Report 2013-2014 Annual Report Las Casas Foundation is dedicated to the development of the performing arts through education, scholarships and the restoration and preservation of historic theatres. Founded in 1988, Las Casas is funded through Foundation memberships, the generous support of donors, corporations and grants. It has awarded $485,000 in scholarship funds to deserving students in the field of performing arts since 2009. 2013-2014 Board of Directors Jocelyn Straus Martha Avant Founding Chairperson Aliza Cantu Bill Crow Frank Z. Ruttenberg Eric Dupre’ Chairman Carmen Goldberg George Hinchey Kevin Parman Steve Johnson President John D. Likovich Charline McCombs Lifetime Friends Linda Guerra Tillery David Nicolson Sunny Blumenthal Vice President Sue Ann Pemberton Clifton J. Bolner Peggy Penshorn Mary Margaret McAllen Jay Higginson Bonnie Reed Pat Wheeler Treasurer Kathy Rhoads Barbara Richmond In Memory Of Valerie Samaníego Finch Michael Schaefer Bob W. Coleman Assistant Treasurer Lisa Swann Elaine Honigblum “Lainie” Kaufman Don Thomas Laura G. Richmond Chris Turner Secretary V.T. “Skip” Wood When Las Casas Foundation was founded in 1988, none of us envisioned where we would be today. This year marked a number of milestones for Las Casas. We celebrated the 100th year anniversary of the elegant Charline McCombs Empire Theatre fêting its namesake in a star-studded evening; we honored the hard work and commitment of our founding chairperson, Jocelyn L. “Joci” Straus, as we dedicated our beautiful theater complex “the Joci Straus Performing Arts Center;” and applauded the amazing talent of our San Antonio youth through the Las Casas Performing Arts Scholarship Competition, awarding over $100,000 in scholarship funds to deserving high school students, bringing the total amount of scholarships awarded since the program began to nearly $500,000. As we look back to where we started and how far we’ve come, it is a fantastic reason to pause and be grateful for the opportunity we have to continue to impact the San Antonio performing arts community. On behalf of Las Casas, thank you for your generous contributions and your support as we continue our mission. This year also marks the opening of the new Tobin Center. We at Las Casas look with great pride at the ever-expanding landscape for cultural arts in our city, which was envi- sioned by Las Casas over a quarter century ago. As many of you have heard me state before, great cities are not remembered by their industry or commerce, or the wealth of their community, but rather by their contribution to the arts. Through your commitment and support of Las Casas, each of you has helped to enrich our city and elevate our community to one of the greatest in our country. We pause for just a moment to reflect and enjoy the memories of our accomplishments that could only be achieved with your great generosity and knowing that with your continued support, we will reach even greater achievements in the future. Frank Z. Ruttenberg Chairman of the Board, Las Casas Foundation 2013 GALA HONORING JOCI STRAUS Jocelyn L. “Joci” Straus, Founding Chairperson of Las Casas Foundation, was recognized at the 2013 Gala, which also featured the multinational operatic pop vocal group, IL DIVO.

During the gala program, it was announced that the downtown San Antonio Performing Arts Center, as the two theatres were collectively known, would be renamed the Joci Straus Performing Arts Center. Proceeds from the evening, a total of more than $425,200 directly benefited the Las Casas Performing Arts Scholarship Competition. 2014 EMPIRE THEATRE’S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION HONORING CHARLINE MCCOMBS The Empire Theatre turned 100 in 2014 and Las Casas Foundation celebrated the theatre by honoring its namesake, Charline McCombs, during a star-studded gala that spanned both the Majestic and Empire stages.

Partnering with ACE Theatrical Group, Las Casas Foundation organized and sponsored the program for the 2013-2014 school year. Thirty students from the theater arts programs at SAY Sí and The Playhouse San Antonio participated in the inaugural year of the program, which included educational program- ming on two Broadway shows in San Antonio at the Majestic Theatre shows, Peter and the Starcatcher and Wicked, as well as other activities to ignite a life-long love of the performing arts. The program is designed to give the students a full range of theater experiences, from enjoying live shows and meeting members of the cast and crew, to seeing what it takes behind the curtain to bring a production to life. The idea is to spark a love of theater and engage the students so that they embrace the performing arts and become active members of the performing arts community, whether on stage, behind the scenes or in the audience. IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT National High School Musical Theater Awards/The Jimmy Awards The Las Casas Performing Arts Scholarship Competition is now a RAP (Regional Award Program) for the National High School Musical Theater Awards. After proving their talents through their performances during the 2014 Las Casas Performing Arts Scholarship Competition, Aria Braswell and Aaron Taylor of San Antonio were awarded the opportunity to participate in the National High School Musical Theater Awards, fondly called the Jimmy Awards, in New York City. While in the Big Apple, Aria and Aaron experienced private coaching with the industry’s top professionals and were treated to a talkback with Tony-award winning lyricist and composer Stephen Schwartz, tickets to Kinky Boots (2013 winner of Best Musical at the Tony Awards), a talkback with the cast after the show, a special dinner at Sardi’s and much more. Both Aria and Aaron received great crowd responses at the finale event at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City. National Arts Star Award In November 2013, the American Foundation For Arts Education honored Las Casas Foundation with the National Arts Star Award for our positive impact on arts education. Presented annually to individuals and organizations that have made a significant impact on arts education on a national or regional level, the National Arts Star Awards raise awareness of the need for an arts education in America’s public schools, celebrate the contributions of advocates and supporters of the arts in America’s public schools, and the creative and academic achievements of schools, school districts, teachers and students in the nation’s public school arts programs.

  • In Our Community Creating Bright Spots of Hope
    Annual Report 2020 Creating Bright Spots of Hope in our Community Impact San Antonio members watch a demonstration of San Antonio Clubhouse’s new hydroponic garden funded by a 2018 High Impact Grant. The hydroponic farming system provides recovery-oriented volunteer opportunities for Clubhouse members with mental health challenges. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As I reflect on this most unusual year of challenges, I was heartened by the depth of caring and generosity coming from our members, sponsors and other supporters that allowed us to continue our legacy of making transformational grants to outstanding local nonprofits. Here are some highlights of what we accomplished as a dedicated team of women coming together with a shared purpose of helping our community: • $490,000 in grants awarded to 10 nonprofits • First time we awarded 6 High Impact Grants at $75,000 each • Over $4.2 million awarded since 2005 • 580 women stepping up to support our community • Adjustments to our grant guidelines that acknowledged the new health and financial stresses nonprofits were facing • Ability to pivot to virtual operations to keep us all safe during the pandemic As a significant funder of grants to local nonprofits, it’s important to us that the community knows we’re here as an enduring resource. It’s also important that we spread the word to warmhearted, civic minded women to join us. The more of us who come together, the bigger the impact we can make. 2021 holds the promise of life slowly returning to normal, but there will still be many who need help to get through the day and rebuild their lives.

  • The Public Theater of San Antonio Executive Artistic Director
    The Public Theater of San Antonio Executive Artistic Director San Antonio’s Theater for All Organization The Public Theater of San Antonio (The Public) is San Antonio’s largest producing theater, currently celebrating its 109th consecutive year of production. Its mission is to produce professional live theater that inspires, educates, and connects communities. The Public presents high-quality theatrical productions year-round and is an important artistic leader in the City of San Antonio’s cultural landscape. Its stated goal is to be a ‘Theater for All,’ where residents of San Antonio can all feel welcome in the space and comfortable engaging with the artists and the art. The Public’s direction moving forward is to maintain and improve upon its role as San Antonio’s flagship theater while creating a stronger collaborative and supportive culture, both internally and with the San Antonio community. The Public’s history traces back to 1912 when Sara Barton Bindley, a resident of San Antonio, established the San Antonio Dramatic Club. The early years of the twentieth century saw the emergence of the little theater movement in the United States. As the movement flourished across the nation, civic leaders of San Antonio formally incorporated as the Little Theater Production Company of San Antonio in 1927, updated legally to the San Antonio Little Theatre, Inc. in 1962. During the early years under the direction of Carl Glick, the productions were held across the city in places like the Menger Hotel and Beethoven Hall. The organization’s leadership eventually petitioned the City for a permanent location and on January 22, 1930, the San Pedro Playhouse opened as the first city-built, city- funded theater in the United States.
