CCA: Past & Present
Welcome
Groundbreaking: 1989

Renovation: 2009
Welcome to the 25th anniversary season of the Chandler Center for the Arts!
My name is Michelle Mac Lennan and I’ve been with the Center for fifteen
years, most recently as the Assistant Manager and now as the General Manager.
Before we embark on the next twenty five years, I want to take this moment to
acknowledge all of those who have helped us reach this milestone season. We are
deeply grateful to our volunteers, patrons, partners, supporters and staff.
Twenty-five years ago the City of Chandler and the Chandler Unified School District
envisioned an Arts Center that now serves over 300,000 people annually. With their
insight, and the leadership support of the Chandler Cultural Foundation, a model for
excellence in collaborative programming emerged.
We are thrilled to share our 25th Anniversary season of performances, exhibits
and cultural experiences with you. With over one thousand events annually, we
feature multiple genres of artists and art forms. I personally recommend our annual
signature event, the Zoppé Italian Family Circus. Now in its sixth year in Chandler,
this old world European circus tradition has become a Chandler tradition.
We look forward to seeing you this season.
Michelle Mac Lennan,
General Manager

Dear Friend of the Chandler Center for the Arts,
Dear Friend of the Chandler Center for the Arts,
The Chandler Unified School District has been a proud partner
of the Chandler Center for Arts for 25 years. This collaboration
with the City of Chandler has enabled our students
opportunities to perform in a first-class facility.
Thank you for celebrating with us as we commemorate 25 years of
arts and entertainment in the Chandler community. Through its storied
history, this facility has been home to thousands of performances,
bringing delight and wonder to all who have visited.
The successful joint use agreement of the Center between the
Chandler Unified School District and the City of Chandler, was
the harbinger of other joint projects with the City including libraries and pools that
provide additional amenities at a reduced cost for taxpayers.
The Chandler Center for the Arts would not have been possible without
the collaboration of many local partners who worked passionately to
bring an inspiring new level of culture to our community.
We appreciate our ongoing relationship with City of Chandler and look forward to
the Center for the Arts next 25 years!
Sincerely,
For the past two-and-a-half decades, the elected leadership of the City and Chandler
Unified School District, our municipal staff, members of the Chandler Cultural Foundation,
and the Center’s volunteers, have worked tirelessly to bring a very special amenity to the
residents of Chandler and the region.
Again, thank you for your commitment to the arts in Chandler.
Sincerely,
Robert J.C. Rice
Governing Board President
Chandler Unified School District

Letter from the Chair
Dear Friend of the Chandler Center for the Arts,
Dynamic leaders, loyal supporters and visionaries describe the Board members of Chandler
Cultural Foundation. The Chandler Cultural Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation established
in 1989 to program and raise funds for the Center’s artistic and outreach programs. Ticket sales and
other earned income cover only part of the Center’s programming expenses, which means that the
Chandler Cultural Foundation’s fundraising efforts play a vital role in delivering quality arts programs at
an affordable cost to the public.

Thank you for celebrating with us as the Chandler Center for the
Arts celebrates 25 years of arts and entertainment in the Chandler
community!
As a non-profit organization responsible for both promoting the arts
and operating the Chandler Center for the Arts, the Chandler Cultural
Foundation is grateful to our patrons, supporters and visitors – our
partners in celebrating everything that art represents.
The arts and the impact they have on our lives are more than a building, of course. But
the building serves as a gathering place for the community. Because of your support,
Chandler has a premiere facility for showcasing local, national and international talent
who bring joy, sorrow, love, inspiration, education, healing, fun and festivity into the lives
of tens of thousands every year.
Thank you for celebrating with us as we commemorate 25 years of celebrating life,
community building and artistic excellence.
Sincerely,
Rich Frazier
Chair, Chandler Cultural Foundation

Fine Art Photographs
by Sue Cullumber
August 15 – October 25, 2014
FREE!
¡FlaMÉXico! is a musical reflection of two cultures forming
a new vision. Arizona-born composer Chris Burton Jácome
charged his project ¡FlaMÉXico! with finding, creating and
celebrating the musical confluences of Spain’s Flamenco and
México’s Mariachi.
Chris grew up listening to mariachi music at his family’s
fiestas, but felt a calling to a musical genre more distant from
his Mexican-American roots. Flamenco stole Chris’ heart and
he moved to Sevilla, Spain to study the art form directly from
the source.
¡FlaMÉXico!’s mission is to find a genuine fusion of two
distinct and profound musical styles while adequately
representing the cultural integrity of each. Beauty, celebration
and joy have all been found in the beginning stages of this
quest. New audiences will be enthralled and delighted by the
initial results.

The 2014-2015 season marks the 22nd anniversary of the Chandler Symphony Orchestra.
Since its humble start in 1993 as the San Marcos Symphony, these dedicated, professionally
trained musicians have provided the greater Chandler community with the opportunity to hear great
music at no charge.
Every year, Conductor Jack Herriman and Associate Conductor Alex Zheng lead volunteer
musicians from all around the Valley in a Pops concert and five Classical concerts, including a
spring concert that showcases the winner of the annual Youth Competition. The three Chamber
Music concerts have become popular as well, in the more intimate Hal Bogle Theatre. It isn’t
unusual for both halls in the Chandler Center to be filled for these concerts, demonstrating the
benefit of free admission in making classical music accessible to everyone.

Commemorating 25 Years Since
The Fall of the Berlin Wall
“Rockin’ the Wall,” the story of music’s part in
bringing down the Iron Curtain, mixes music, politics,
and history over the 40-year period of the Cold War.
Featuring the Doors, Quiet Riot, Toto, Vanilla Fudge,
and “witnesses” from behind the Wall, “Rockin’ the
Wall” introduces us to a Romanian black market
rock music record dealer, a Hungarian drummer/
activist forced to escape his home country through
a guarded railroad tunnel, a Ukranian woman whose
conversion to Christianity she attributed to “Jesus
Christ Superstar,” and an Atlanta funk-rock band that
played East Berlin just two weeks before the Wall fell.
Featuring original music by stars of the day, as well
as new original recordings made exclusively for the
film, “Rockin’ the Wall” celebrates a time when music
changed the world.

The old theatre phrase “Break a leg!” takes on a whole new meaning when the Who’s Who
of Chandler come together for a dinner gala at the City’s crown jewel…the Chandler Center
for the Arts. Molly Sirus, Chandler High Schools’ most famous (or infamous) alumni is the
evenings’ honorary chair. Mayhem ensues when Molly’s boyfriend, plastic surgeon and tabloid
favorite, Hugh Van Helsing, is found bludgeoned to death in the Green Room with a mannequin
leg from the Little Black Dress exhibit. With the building in lock down, the gala goers are forced
to work together to find out who among them is a murderer.
Black Violin
Friday, November 7, 2014 · 7:30pm
$18, $22 & $28
Virtuoso violinists Wil B and Kev Marcus
meld highbrow and pop culture through
a fusion of classical, jazz, hip-hop,
blues and R&B. Joining the classically
trained violinists is DJ TK on turntables
and together the trio smashes musical
stereotypes and enthralls lovers of
Bach and Beyoncé. Wil B. explains,
“We encourage kids to think creatively,
to take what they love doing and try to
come up with something no one has
ever done before. And that doesn’t just
apply to playing violin or even music, but
whatever it is you decide to do. Expand
your mind. Once we get their attention
with the music, that’s the message we
want to deliver.

Ballet Etudes
December 2014
The SnowCat
by Dmitri Matheny
Saturday, December 13, 2014 · 11am
$8 General Admission, Bogle Theatre
An original musical production by flugelhornist
and composer Dmitri Matheny, The SnowCat
is the heartwarming tale of a little girl’s search for
her wandering white cat on a chilly afternoon.
Each year, Dmitri and friends bring The SnowCat to life in a
popular series of performances for families, combining singing,
storytelling, live music, and visual art. The SnowCat is based on
the ancient Asian parable of The Oxherder, in which a herdboy’s
quest to find his missing ox is likened to an individual’s journey
through life.
Nutcracker
28th Anniversary
Let the Holiday-favorite story of Clara’s
magical journey surround you as she
encounters life-size mice, swirling
snowflakes, dancing confections, and
the Sugar Plum Fairy in “…a royally
entertaining show…” (The Arizona
Republic). A feast for the eyes and ears
with colorful and imaginative costumes
paired with Tchaikovsky’s original score,
Ballet Etudes’ Nutcracker is the perfect
way to celebrate the holiday season with
the entire family. Backstage tours are
available following most performances.
Tickets: $25 & $29
A discount of 20% off will be given

As in the ancient parable, the hero of Dmitri Matheny’s The SnowCat finds her companion and returns
home to appreciate the beauty of nature, play music, and have fun with friends. She maintains hope,
optimism and determination in the face of adversity; discovers the gentle power of sitting quietly; and
embodies the spirit of sharing and gratitude that makes the holidays such a magical time.
“The SnowCat story is certainly spiritual, but it is secular, not religious, and thus it is universal. It contains
great messages for both kids and adults,” Matheny said. “Children will appreciate the spirit of fun and
friendship between Sam and the SnowCat. Adults may also view the story as an allegory or parable.”
Our narrative poses questions worthy of adult contemplation: Who am I? What am I seeking? What does it
mean to go home, or to cross to the other shore? What is serenity? And why are dancing, music, and play
so important?

The African Children’s Choir is composed of African
children, aged 7 to 10 years old. Many have lost
one or both parents through the devastation of war,
famine and disease. They represent all the children
of a continent and they demonstrate the potential
of African children to become strong leaders for
a better future in their land. The children melt the
hearts of audiences with their charming smiles and
delightful African tunes, accompanied by ethnic
instrumentation.
The program features well-loved children’s songs,
hand clapping, traditional spirituals and contemporary
tunes. Nearly every performance is concluded with a thunderous standing ovation. A marvelous by-product of
the concert is the inspiration the music brings to virtually every listener. In spite of the tragedy that has marred
their young lives, the children are radiant with hope, musically gifted and wonderfully entertaining.
The primary goal of the Choir is to raise awareness of the need of destitute and orphaned children in Africa
and to raise funds for continued development and support of the African Children’s Choir Programs. The
Choir’s international educational endeavor provides unique training for the children. Once Choir members have
completed a concert tour, they will return to their homelands with the tools necessary for bettering their future.

Glenn Miller Orchestra
Sunday, February 22, 2015 · 3pm
$28, $34 & $38
This show features over 40 hit songs from four decades of jukebox chart toppers! “Tuxedo Junction,” “In The
Mood,” “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and “Moonlight Seranade” were all major hit records.
Miller played to sell out crowds, and his music constantly dominated the airwaves from 1938-1942. Just prior
to going into the army, he had disbanded his famous orchestra and eventually formed the Glenn Miller Army
Air Force Band to entertain the servicemen. On December 15, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane
from London to precede his band to Paris. The weather was foreboding. Not very confident, he said to the
pilot, “Maybe we ought to call this off?” The flight officer ribbed him about his fear of flying, “Do you want to
live forever?” Glenn Miller disappeared on December 15, 1944. The bandleader went down over the English
Channel at the height of his popularity.
Now, over sixty years since the public first embraced the successful Miller Sound, both the legend and the
music live on. The Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most sought after big band in the world today for both concert
and dance engagements. Still considered the greatest band of all time, its unique sound is loved by almost
anybody that cares for dance music.

Black Violin
Friday, November 7, 2014 · 9:45am
Virtuoso violinists Wil B and Kev Marcus
meld highbrow and pop culture through
a fusion of classical, jazz, hip-hop,
blues and R&B. Joining the classically
trained violinists is DJ TK on turntables
and together the trio smashes musical
stereotypes and enthralls lovers of
Bach and Beyoncé. Wil B. explains,
“We encourage kids to think creatively,
to take what they love doing and try to
come up with something no one has
ever done before. And that doesn’t just
apply to playing violin or even music,
but whatever it is you decide to do. Expand your mind. Once we get their
attention with the music, that’s the message we want to deliver.”

Macbeth
Friday, February 27, 2015 · 9:45am
Three witches await the coming of Macbeth and Banquo, Scottish generals
on their way home after a victorious battle. The three witches prophesy that
Macbeth shall become the thane of Cawdor and later on shall be king. When
the thane of Ross arrives and addresses Macbeth with the new title, the
witches’ prophecies already seem to be coming true.
Macbeth, with his wife’s urging and assistance, murders King Duncan in his
bed. Macbeth goes now to consult the witches. They warn him to beware of
Macduff who is suspicious of Macbeth. However, they also assure him that no
man born of a woman can harm him and that he cannot be defeated.
Lady Macbeth, becomes completely overcome by remorse and guilt and, with
unsettled mind, dies by her own hand. Macduff attacks the castle. During his final hand-to-hand conflict with
Macduff, Macbeth learns that his opponent was prematurely ripped from his mother’s womb, a Caesarean
birth. Macbeth realizes he is doomed but, rather than being captured alive, fights to his death and announces
Scotland’s freedom from tyranny.

how he was living the life of a graffiti rebel until a high school teacher challenged him to make his art more
purposeful. He shares his personal struggles and triumphs that helped to shape him into a world-renowned
painter and performer in the studio and on the stage.
The foundation of Garibaldi’s message is simple: Live your life as a platform, and live with passion and purpose.

Ticket sales and other earned income cover only part of our programming expenses, which

cost to the public.
