2017-18 HOT Season for Young People

Presented by

perspectives

The experience of live performance is especially powerful for young

people living in the fast-paced age of digital communications

and entertainment. As they engage with the action on stage, their field trip to the

theater helps them better understand themselves and how

they connect with the world. Art gives children and teens a chance to pause – to imagine,

to question, and to consider the perspectives of people and

cultures different from themselves.

Academically, socially, and personally, arts education sets the

stage for meaningful learning today and contributes to the creative thinking and problem-solving

our students will need tomorrow.

Each year, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) presents a series of exceptional

performances of theatre, dance, and music through its Humanities Outreach in Tennessee (HOT)

program. The HOT Season for Young People works with teachers to serve students in grades PreK-12

from public, private, and home schools located in the Nashville area and surrounding counties.

The Battle of Franklin: A Tale of a House Divided

September 6, 13, 20, 201710:00 a.m. | Jamison Hall in The Factory at Franklin 2 hours and 30 minutes, including intermission $8 Students | Grades 5-12 Presented by Studio Tenn

Experience Tennessee and American history through the eyes of Captain Tod Carter and his family, whose home still stands next to the site of the Civil War battle. Local historians contributed to the development of the script by A.S. Peterson, which is not a battle re-enactment, but emphasizes the relationships of the people involved. This play with music offers balanced views of the struggles between father and son, master and slave, and North and South. Video projections above the simple, rough-hewn set enhance the story. The innovative, artistic telling explores the universal nature of inner conflicts and humanity’s ongoing quest for reconciliation. (Contains mature themes.)

October 2-26, 2017IN-SCHOOL TOUR | 90 minutes, including TalkBack $600 flat fee (up to 400 attendees, depending on space) Grades 10-12 Presented by Writer’s Stage

This gripping drama, with moments of surprising humor, was inspired by playwright Jim Reyland’s experiences as a volunteer for Nashville’s Room In The Inn and his longtime relationship with a homeless man. An absorbing story unfolds as trust and friendship build between Mark, a business executive, and Johnny, who lives on the streets. Students gain genuine insight into the complicated circumstances which can lead to homelessness, including addiction and mental illness. Following its Nashville premiere, the play began touring to high schools nationwide.

Fisk Jubilee Singers®

October 26, 201710:30 a.m. | 60 minutes | War Memorial Auditorium $8 Students | Grades 5-12

The original Jubilee Singers introduced “slave songs” to the world in 1871 and were instrumental in preserving the unique American musical tradition known today as Negro spirituals. They have been performing at their Fisk University home and on international tour ever since, earning a National Medal of Arts in 2008, America’s highest honor for artists and patrons of the arts. Under the direction of Dr. Paul T. Kwami, this world-renowned a capella choral ensemble brings its storied heritage and contemporary vitality to TPAC. For its annual offering on the Season for Young People, this year’s performance is specifically designed for students in middle and high school.

Macbeth

November 6- , 2017ARTSMART FOCUS WORK | 10:00 a.m. | TPAC’s Polk Theater 2 hours and 35 minutes, including intermission $8 Students | Grades 9-12 Presented by American Shakespeare Center

The action in William Shakespeare’s masterpiece tumbles madly from the prophetic opening scene to the chilling last acts of a passionate young couple. Shocking, bloody violence reigns as together they claim Macbeth’s right to the throne. In classic literary style, ambition is the source of both their greatness and ultimate downfall. Based in Staunton, Virginia, ASC specializes in “theatre of the imagination” focusing on expert acting and language, with most actors playing multiple roles. The company embraces the performance conditions and challenges of Shakespeare’s day – with a nearly bare stage surrounded by audience members sharing the same light as the actors, and tackling how the master playwright conveyed darkness in plays performed outdoors in daylight.

The Polar Bears Go Up

November 13-17, 201710:30 a.m. | 50 minutes | TPAC’s Polk Theater $8 Students | Grades PreK-1 Presented by Fish and Game

Two smiling polar bears receive a mysterious package in the mail. When they open the box, a balloon pops out and instantly floats away into the sky. Oh no! So begins a fun, nonverbal adventure, conveyed with intelligence, wit, and a sense of joyful discovery. The bears try everything to retrieve their balloon – jumping on a trampoline, riding an elevator, hopping on clouds, and reaching for the stars. Tapping into youthful curiosity, the lovable characters even create a chart to track their problem-solving. Amongst all this activity, the bears cheerfully continue with their daily tasks which include dancing, playing music, and making delicious sandwiches to eat!

Sleeping Beauty

November 28-30, 2017ARTSMART FOCUS WORK | 10:30 a.m. | 60 minutes TPAC’s Polk Theater | $8 Students | Grades 2-4 Presented by David Gonzalez

This creative treatment of a classic fairy tale is told with rhymed verse in a magical, multimedia world where the beautiful (and quirky) princess is awakened by true love’s kiss… or not.

The score includes excerpts from Bach’s Goldberg Variations as well as original music by composer and pianist Daniel Kelly, who is often pulled into the action onstage.

Young people around the world love C.S. Lewis’ critically acclaimed tale of Narnia. Faithfully adapted from the literary classic, the stage version by Joseph Robinette is set in the English countryside, where the four Pevensie children have come from London to stay with kindly Professor Kirke during World War II. Passing through a magical wardrobe in the spare room, they enter into a wintry world, where animals talk, trees walk, and the wicked White Witch rules. Working together, the siblings and their newfound friends overcome the forces of evil with love, faith, and courage.

Kaytek the Wizard

January 23-26, 2018ARTSMART FOCUS WORK | 10:30 a.m. | 60 minutes TPAC’s Johnson Theater | $8 Students | Grades 5-8 Presented by BriAnimations

Kaytek, a mischievous schoolboy, discovers he has unusual powers and revels in an exciting double life of wizard and ordinary boy. However, his rash choices soon begin to cause danger to himself and others. His search to find meaning in his unique abilities helps him become wiser, more humane, and accountable for his actions. This coming-of-age story grew from the heart of Janusz Korczak, a physician and pioneering child rights advocate in Warsaw during World War II. Adapting Korczak’s book, Brian Hull has created a masterful puppetry performance in the European style with puppeteers in full view, enhanced by video projections and original music by Sarah Hart.

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

Family music practice began at 6:00 a.m. every day of the week for these siblings from the south side of Chicago. The leader of their childhood band was their father, jazz legend Kelan Phil Cohran, who raised them on a regimen of jazz, soul, and funk. Now touring worldwide, these seven brothers create a sound that’s all their own: reggae-rock steeped in hip hop and jazz big band. The ensemble starred in the PBS documentary Brothers Hypnotic, and their song “War” was featured in the film The Hunger Games. They assert that performing for young people is the most important, impactful aspect of their international acclaim.

Air Play

Ride the wind and reach for the skies with a modern spectacle that brings to life the very air we breathe! Created in collaboration with an air sculptor, this nonverbal performance is the result of superbly practiced storytelling and stagecraft as the characters turn ordinary items into objects of uncommon beauty. Umbrellas, over-sized kites, and fabrics dance in currents of air. Confetti turns into the night sky. Balloons have a mind of their own. The normal rules of science, including gravity, are seemingly held at bay as the performers step into a circle of fans and use the updraft to create an astonishing aerial spectacle.

One Morning I Left…

Three friends explore the world with youthful wonder and imagination when Ana goes on adventures with Gaspar and Oliver. She milks a cow in the countryside, flies on a bird through the desert, dives into a sea of bubbles, and visits the jungle. The friends also take time to simply enjoy the sunshine, flowers, and butterflies in their everyday world. Common objects – like buckets, funnels, and colorful cloth – are used to tell the story, in addition to live singing with guitar, clarinet, percussion, and sound effects. Based in Santiago, Chile, the company specializes in theatre for young children. The play is performed in English, with some Spanish added.

Inherit the Wind

In 1925, famous lawyers, prominent journalists, and curious spectators descended on Dayton, Tennessee, when an educator was arrested for violating state law by teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution. Dubbed the

“Scopes Monkey Trial,” the case was argued by the most brilliant legal minds of the day, fiery Clarence Darrow and three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan. These events inspired Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee’s 1955 play about the passionate views on both sides. The powerful storytelling of this classic resonates with our culture’s current struggles with the relationship between faith and science.
