As we begin our 18th year with the Performing Arts in Nashville, we are excited to be a part of one of the most robust Arts communities in the country. In fact, Nashville ranks in the top 12 cities in the country for culture, arts and entertainment, while Business Week named Nashville one of the best places for artists to live in the United States. Therein lies why Nashville is the home of the most talented artists in the country. When you couple that with Nashville being ranked as the eighth strongest economy in the country, we find ourselves living in a very enviable community.

The “Playbill” you hold in your hand is the visual voice of the arts, communicating the importance of the arts to the Nashville community. One of our favorite quotes regarding the arts is from Kathleen O’Brien, “We need the arts. They are not a luxury. They make us better people, and they are at the core of strong, vibrant communities”. How true.

We thank our readers for being such an important part of the arts, and making Nashville such a strong, vibrant community!

Enjoy the show! Gary & Robin

33 helping transplant patients SURVIVE

Jessica needed a transplant, and time was crucial.

Shortly after having her baby, Jessica was diagnosed with heart failure. While she waited for a transplant, she needed a heart pump. The Ventricular Assist Device or VAD from Saint Thomas Heart kept her alive, doing the work her failing heart could not. Now, Jessica knows what it’s like to survive. With more than 45 regional locations, Saint Thomas Heart offers greater access and experience that comes with seeing more heart patients than anyone in the state. And that means more survivors.

“Hats Off to Volunteers” Amerigo Hosts Annual TPAC Volunteer Luncheon For the fifth year in a row, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center extends its thanks to Amerigo for sponsoring its annual “Hats Off to Volunteers” luncheon. The event recognizes those who donate their invaluable time and effort to TPAC year-round. TPAC celebrated 87 active volunteers at the July 23 gathering, featuring a three- course meal in the West End eatery’s dining room with appreciation prizes. The afternoon’s highlight came from the much-loved hat decorating contest that produced some of the most memorable creations themed to this season’s TPAC Broadway shows: Mary Poppins (Fay Delk), Spamalot (Gloria Kleve), Blast! (Warren and Holly Westcott), The Addams Family (Carol Bass), South Pacific (Robert Gann and Carol McAlpine), and many more. “The volunteers certainly deserve to have their work applauded in such an enjoyable fashion,” said Mary Blair, who serves as TPAC’s volunteer coordinator and assistant house manager. “TPAC heavily relies on this special group of volunteers to offer the extra dose of warmth and hospitality patrons have come to expect. During the 2010-11 season, TPAC volunteers completed 5,044 hours of service, which translates into $105,167. “We are incredibly thankful for our relationship with Amerigo Italian Restaurant and Sales and Marketing Manager Ali Gensert for sponsoring TPAC’s annual ‘Hats Off to Volunteers’ luncheon since 2007. Their most helpful and attentive wait staff always produces a lovely atmosphere and meal for the TPAC volunteers.” Amerigo has three restaurant locations in Nashville, Brentwood, and Memphis, Tennessee and one in Jackson, Mississippi, offering a casual, cozy and upbeat atmosphere and servicing new world Italian cuisine. The award-winning bistro chain, open since 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. DON’T GLOW.

We know you silence your cell phone during the announcement before the show.

But what if you receive a text message as the lights go down?

Or, maybe, you begin to think about the score of the game, who got voted off the island, or if the babysitter is locked in the closet again.

No matter what you might be wondering, PLEASE silence your ringtone and refrain from checking your mobile devices during the performance.

The people sitting around you will be grateful.

Enjoy the show! Coming Soon to TPAC’s Jackson Hall:

Wicked October 19 – November 6 SYNOPSIS: Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, announces to the citizens of Oz that Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, is dead.

The students settle into their routine at Shiz. Dr. Dillamond, a goat and the University’s only animal professor, confides in Elphaba that things in Oz are not what they seem to be; something is causing the animals of Oz to lose their powers for speech. Fiyero, a Winkie Prince, arrives at Shiz, and invites Glinda to a dance. To evade another admirer, a persistent Munchkin, Glinda convinces him to escort Nessarose to the dance. A grateful Elphaba becomes friends with Glinda. Elphaba is distraught when Dr. Dillamond is arrested and taken away by the authorities. When she witnesses a government official experimenting on a caged Memphis lion cub, Elphaba’s anger releases a spell, freezing November 15-20 everyone in the room.
