WELCOME
From Seattle Theatre Group, a non-profit arts organization
Tonight we celebrate the end of our 2015/2016 KeyBank Broadway at The Paramount Season with our final show, MOTOWN THE MUSICAL! We could not be more excited to welcome this record-breaking smash hit that tells the incredible story of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s journey from featherweight boxer to the heavyweight music mogul who shattered barriers, shaped our lives and made us all move to the same beat. As our current season comes to an end, we look ahead to our upcoming 2016/2017 STG season and an exciting lineup of performances that aim to continue to connect all members of the community with life-changing access to artists, mentors, and experiences on and off the stage. Next season, our incredible Dance Series features five performances, each dynamic in their own right. First up is Dorrance Dance with Toshi Reagon & Biglovely in “The Blues Project,” an innovative evening of rhythm, original live music, explosive energy, and raw emotion. In association with On the Boards, Company Wayne McGregor will perform “Atomos,” a hauntingly beautiful work by cutting-edge contemporary choreographer Wayne McGregor. Batsheva Dance Company, one of the foremost contemporary dance companies in the world, comes to The Paramount to perform choreographer Ohad Naharin’s “Last Work.” Rounding out the series are return appearances by the acclaimed Dance Theatre of Harlem and Emmy Award®-winning choreographer Travis Wall’s Shaping Sound. STG has also invited the National Theatre of Scotland back to Seattle to stage its must-see major production of Let the Right One In. Tony® and Olivier® Awardwinning director John Tiffany heads up a world-class creative team for a stage adaptation of the Swedish novel and film by John Ajvide Lindqvist, which tells the story of a lonely, bullied teenage boy who befriends the new girl next door, leading to a series of sinister killings that shock the neighborhood. This truly rare piece of theatre is an enchanting, brutal vampire myth and a coming-of-age love story that cannot be missed. Throughout the season, STG presents local, national, and international music artists featuring masters of various genres, as well as innovative up-and-comers. Stars from the world of broadcasting also take the stage, including A Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor, who offers an evening of insight and stories from his journey as one of America’s greatest storytellers. Bassem Youssef, Egyptian satirist and former host of the popular TV show AlBernameg, comes to The Moore. We also welcome back our ever-popular Silent Movie Mondays, featuring the two series Love Stories and Comedy Classics, as well as a special Halloween screening of the 1922 classic “Nosferatu.” We are excited and eager to have all of you back next season for this amazing lineup of artists and invite you to learn more about our upcoming season by visiting our website at www.stgpresents.org!

Who’s Who A Note from Berry Gordy At Motown, we called ourselves a family and we were—a big family. While it is impossible to list here the many people who helped Motown with their love and passion, I personally want to thank them all. Their dedication and talent contributed to our success, as well as helped to inspire me to bring our story to Broadway. Motown was a dream that happened to come true, and it’s all because of you. Thank you. Berry Gordy Founder, Motown

In March 2014, Disney Theatrical Group invited Seattle Theatre Group to launch Disney Musicals in Schools (DMIS) in the Seattle region. Together, our goal is to provide the training necessary for teachers to continue a tradition of theatre education in under-resourced elementary schools for years to come. Over the course of a semester, Seattle Theatre Group Teaching Artists guide school teachers through the process of mounting a musical with student performers. This year, Dunlap, South Shore, Martin Luther King, and McMicken Heights Elementary Schools have been selected to participate in the program. Schools perform excerpts from their The Jungle Book, West Seattle Elementary. 2015. Photo by Danielle Barnum. renditions of Aladdin, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King in the Student Share Celebration at The Moore Theatre. The Student Share event is free and open to the public. Your support makes it possible to provide this experience to students and faculty. Performance rights, ShowKit materials, Professional Development, and onsite Teaching Artist support are provided at no charge. Disney Musicals in Schools empowers schools to connect students with the arts now and into the future, exposing them to the many benefits of musical theatre, including the development of self-confidence, collaborative skills, speaking and reading skills, and creativity.
