UNCSA Performance Calendar 2014-2015

Photo by Jeremy Cowart

Dear Friends,

I’m excited to announce the 2014-15 season of performances and screenings at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts,

programmed by our brilliant deans and presented by our gifted students, outstanding faculty, and world-renowned guest artists.

Whether you love classical ballet or contemporary dance, comedies or tragedies, music from the 1700s or 21st century, opera or film –

or better yet, all of the above – you’ll find a performance to entertain, delight, and inspire you.

As an audience member, you’ll experience the thrill of live performance and support the education of our young students, whose

rigorous conservatory training culminates on the stage. You’ll also help enrich our culture and community.

Our regular patrons say our shows are as good as or better than anything they’ve seen in New York, Chicago, Washington, and

Los Angeles - so please join us this year, as often as you can, to help sustain the professional quality and caliber of our performances

and screenings. Buy a ticket, or 10, or attend some of our many free events. Don’t miss the chance to catch our rising stars here in

Winston-Salem, because next year they could very well be on Broadway or in Hollywood!

Sincerely,

Lindsay Bierman CHANCELLOR

TICKET INFORMATION

State legislation enacted last year requires UNCSA (as well as other

arts presenters) to charge sales tax on admission to live performances,

films and exhibits. The law regarding sales tax went into effect Jan.

1, 2014, but prices of tickets previously on sale (before Jan. 1) were

“grandfathered in” and were not affected. Effective Aug. 1, 2014, the

combined state and local sales tax on tickets to performances and events

will be 6.75 percent.

To accommodate the new sales tax, UNCSA tickets will now be $18 regular and $15 for students with valid ID. This includes the new 6.75

percent sales tax as well as box office and facility usage fees. Unless

otherwise noted in the following calendar listing, tickets are $18/$15.

Tickets for special events are priced as indicated in specific event

details throughout the following calendar listing. The 6.75 percent sales

tax plus fees are included in the special event ticket price.

UNCSA is implementing a new ticketing system this year that will

offer patrons a revolutionary new experience when purchasing tickets

online! Our goal is to make the process convenient for our audience

members.

For most shows, reduced ticket prices are available for groups of 10

or more.

Tickets may be purchased by phone or online for pickup at Will Call, or

can be mailed for an additional fee. Tickets may also be purchased in

person at the box office.

Music and Lyrics by Frank LoesserBook by Jo Swerling and Abe BurrowsDirected by Gus KaikkonenOne of the biggest hits of Broadway’s Golden Age, Guys and Dolls is a Tony-winning perennial favorite that has delighted audiences since its rollicking premiere in 1950. Its songbook includes such irresistible classics as “Luck Be A Lady,” “My Time of Day/I’ve Never Been in Love Before” and “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat.” Featuring an array of characters both engaging and enduring, some of the snappiest, smartest lyrics ever written and a score that seamlessly traverses comedy, romance and the thrill of a throw of dice, Guys and Dolls has justifiably been called “the greatest of all American musicals” (TIME Magazine).

SUPPORT UNCSA FINANCIALLY!One of the best ways to support UNCSA is to give to the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund supports UNCSA’s core artistic and

academic programs, filling the gaps to help pay for productions,

student projects, student audition travel expenses, and

accomplished guest artists to enrich the students’ experience.

Annual Fund donors are among our most valued contributors,

providing the financial support to create a culture of artistic and

academic excellence. No gift is too small to show you care about

our students and their artistic development!

Giannini Society donors provide annual leadership gifts of $1,500

or more to the Annual Fund. They are invited to exclusive events

and receive greater access to student performances and guest

artists, among other benefits.

Chancellor’s Circle donors provide annual gifts of $25,000 or

more to the Annual Fund to support the high-caliber training

UNCSA provides to our student-artists. Chancellor’s Circle donors

enjoy invitations to intimate dinners, exclusive tours and other

special events.

Dean’s Councils for Excellence donors support specific arts

programs with an annual gift of $5,000 or more to the arts school

they choose, and enjoy a closer relationship with the dean and

students of that school.

UNCSA’s Endowment Funds provide ongoing support for

educational excellence in the areas of scholarships, guest

artists, faculty chairs and other program support. Donors may

choose to endow specific projects or to honor a specific person

or organization. Endowment funds generate a steady stream of

revenue, providing UNCSA with a permanent source of funding

and helping ensure UNCSA’s long-term sustainability.

Encore Circle donors include UNCSA in their estate plans. Donors

choose to honor UNCSA through bequests, designating UNCSA

as a retirement account or life insurance beneficiary, through

charitable remainder trusts or charitable lead trusts.

Matching Gifts through an employer are a great way to make your

donation go even further. Many companies offer these programs,

and forms are available through the company’s HR department.

foundations that support the arts and arts education.
