We declared 2010-11 a year of investing – in education and families, facility upgrades, and fundraising stewardship. For the recently completed fiscal year 2011-12, those investments showed significant returns as we expanded and extended the Tower’s commitment to children and adults across Central Oregon.

In particular, our educational initiative LessonPLAN (Performing Live Arts Now) made a considerable impact in classrooms, with parents, and with donors. Using the unique power of performing arts to enhance education, LessonPLAN engaged our children’s minds while enriching their hearts.

The city’s Arts, Beautification and Culture Commission presented LessonPLAN its 2012 award for “outstanding contributions to Bend’s culture.” From educational matinees with Japanese drummers (pictured on front cover) to special assemblies for bilingual and hearing impaired children, LessonPLAN provided area students – in the words of Three Rivers Elementary teacher Steven Gleason – “a chance of a lifetime.”

The year’s highlights also included:

- 3,000 students and families reached through LessonPLAN

- 41 nonprofits using the Tower at discount rates

- 800 Tower members from all walks of life

- 7 of 8 CenterStage Series shows sold out

We also formally launched the Stover Fund, named after Bend benefactors “Dutch” and Ruth Stover (see page 4). This account offers donors a direct and efficient way to underwrite educational events that enrich teaching about performing arts or enable deeper understanding of curriculum topics through the performing arts.

You’ll see throughout this annual report our growing commitment to serve the entire Central Oregon community. We are shaping the next generation of theatre goers while continuing to engage stakeholders – like you – to ensure this iconic venue remains the center of Bend’s cultural economy and quality of life.

SOURCES OF REVENUE

Ruth and Dutch Stover were dedicated to youth and improving the culture of Bend. Their friends set up a fund providing educational scholarships to local high school students that lasted more than four decades. In the words of longtime friend Harriet Langmas, “Dutch and Ruth left a legacy of love which cannot be matched.”

The Tower continues the great legacy they started! Last year, the Tower Theatre Foundation extended the Stovers’ commitment of benefitting youth and education by bringing performing arts to the children, schools, and families of Central Oregon. The Tower’s Board of Directors created THE STOVER FUND to take performers into our schools and bring students to the theatre.

RECIPIENTS OF STOVER FUNDS:Tower Theatre’s LessonPLAN received the bulk of Stover funding throughout the year. Because LessonPLAN was so successful in grant writing and other funding sources, The Tower Theatre Foundation used Stover funds for other education-based programming at the Tower.

2011-2012 educational matineesmade possible by

The Tower’s commitment to children in Central Oregon reached new levels in 2011-12, with the inaugural season of LessonPLAN (Performing Live Arts Now). Events included both family priced shows and educational outreach efforts with local school children either being bussed into special matinee shows or performers presenting at local school(s). The schools were provided these opportunities free of charge. Teachers were also provided study guides to assist them in incorporating the positive messages and lessons from the shows to their curriculum.

With LessonPLAN, the Tower can bridge a gap in many young people’s experiences: seeing and feeling the inspiration possible from live performing arts. Before an educational matinee performance in October 2011, the Tower’s executive director asked the audience of 430 fourth graders, “Who’s been to the theatre before?” A smattering of hands went up, proof that the program about to take place would likely register as a significant “first” in the lives of the majority of these young children. Being removed from a metropolitan area, exposure to a professional performing artist is also an inspiring and rare opportunity for older students, especially those interested in careers in the arts. As funds shrink and resources are focused on tested subjects, schools provide limited arts instruction. In 2009-10, the Oregon Arts Commission reports that, state wide, a mere 16% of public schools provided instruction in theater.

The first season, which concluded in May 2012, included five different events appealing to young audiences. Feedback from the community, teachers, administrators, and most importantly, the

almost 3,000 students reached has been overwhelmingly positive. The students were from across Central Oregon, including Bend and the more rural communities of Madras, Redmond, and Prineville. The total cost for the family priced shows and educational outreach was almost $50,000 with foundation grants, local business sponsorships, individual donations, and ticket sales contributing 62%, 13%, 14% and 11% of the total, respectively.

2011-12 Supporters: Local individuals donating to Stover Society, Children’s Edu-Investors Fund, Bank of the Cascades, WHH Foundation, Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation, Herbert A. Templeton Foundation, Autzen Foundation, Deschutes Cultural Coalition, Umpqua Bank, Bend Bulletin, BendBroadband, and Oxford Hotel.

2011/12 EVENT RECAP Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats (10/2011): Students came to the Tower for a special matinee performance. From the producers of the Peking Acrobats, these gymnasts represent the best of the acrobatic tradition that began 27 centuries ago. The educational focus was on healthy lifestyles, exercise, and cultural diversity, with a Q&A.

TAO—The Art of the Drum (2/2012): Students came to the Tower for a special matinee performance. Athletics, contemporary costumes and innovative choreography combine to create spectacular music based on traditional Japanese Taiko drumming. The educational focus was on health, fitness and cultural diversity.

Cuentos del Arbol (2/2012): Pushcart Players, an award-winning professional theatre and arts-in-education company, visited schools in Madras and Redmond. This bi-lingual musical, drawn from Spanish and Latin American folklore, revolves around a tree (Un Arbol) that sheltered and nurtured countless characters over the years.

Are You My Mother? (4/2012): ArtsPower, one of America’s preeminent producers of professional theatre for young audiences, conducted an assembly at Prineville High School with all of the city’s grade schools in attendance. The assembly included a segment of the performance and dialogue with the students on themes in the show. The one-act musical adventure is based on P.D. Eastman’s enduring and well-loved picture book.

Stuart Little (5/2012): In a 90-minute workshop, the cast explained similarities and differences between “Deaf Theatre” and normal “Hearing Theatre” at Juniper grade school. Sign Stage audiences see costumed characters sign as they speak their lines while hearing the voice of the character spoken by a hearing actor. In this E. B. White fantasy, a mild mannered mouse tries to cope in a “real person” world; he realizes that size is not important—it’s temperament and ability that count.

Tower Theatre Programming

The Tower Theatre Foundation presented special shows and events whenever opportunities for “last minute” bookings arose. We took advantage of agency relationships and tour routings to present The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles, The California and Montreal Guitar Trios, Pure Prairie League and Asleep at the Wheel.

In a nod to our humble beginnings as a movie house, the Foundation presented a growing slate of films, including the ever-popular Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Big Lebowski, The Sound of Music Sing-Along, Pink Floyd: The Wall and This is Spinal Tap. We collaborated with the Serendipity West Foundation to present the Northwest premiere of The Fat Boy Chronicles, starring Bend native Cole Carson. And we partnered with our friends at BendFilm to present two award-winning favorites from their 2011 festival: Wild Horse, Wild Ride and This Way of Life.

The Tour du Chocolat was back in 2012, with Central Oregon chefs and students from COCC’s Culinary Arts department showcasing their delicious talents (above left) on our stage in a delectable fundraiser during downtown’s Spring Art Walk.

The Foundation extended its relationship with the Central Oregon Mastersingers to present Handel’s Messiah, including an audience sing along to three of Handel’s most well-known choruses.

In late June, Shore Thing Productions and the Tower Foundation presented “1776 In Concert”, the patriotic musical with a unique all-female cast (center left) and a full, professional orchestra. Three sold out shows were a reminder that local talent in Bend knows no age or gender boundaries!“1776”alsomarkedthefirstshowin our newly-created Marquee Series, sponsored by U.S. Bank, featuring local theatre companies Shore Thing Productions, Cat Call Productions and Cascades Theatrical Company.

As with all that we do, corporate and foundation support, including the sponsors you see listed here, underwrites production costs and helps keep ticket prices low.

The 2011-12 Bend Surgery Center’s CenterStage Series kicked off in October with a sold-out show of Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats and ended in April with a sold-out performance from Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Bruce Hornsby. In between, audiences enjoyed shows that were indicative of what the CenterStage Series is known for: world-class talent presented in the comfort of “Bend’s Living Room,” the intimate Tower Theatre.

This year’s CenterStage Series introduced (and in some cases, reminded) theatre-goers of the amazing diversity of the performing arts. Gravity-defying gymnastics by the Shangri-La Acrobats were tempered by Peter Yarrow’s social conscience and classic folk songs. Tower of Power funked-up the house, while the Miles Davis Experience recalled the Birth of the Cool. Tao—The Art of the Drum was a visual and cultural spectacle direct from Japan; yet a month later we saluted a distinctly American comic, Groucho Marx. And while the Blind Boys of Alabama transformed the Tower into a Southern Baptist church—everyone clapping, swaying, and on their feet—Bruce Hornsby improvised his way through a remarkable 30-year personal repertoire with only a spotlight and the Tower’s Steinway piano.

We are indebted to the sponsors who underwrite the series and our mission to keep ticket prices affordable for all. We simply couldn’t do it without them.

The Tower Theatre Foundation presented 39 programs this past year. Another 120 events came from nonprofit organizations, national and regional producers, area concert promoters, plus local corporations in Central Oregon.

Nearly 62% of all events at the Tower last year were presented by nonprofit organizations. We are honored to be the home, year after year, to these vital organizations, and proud of our long-term relationships with many community-based nonprofits:

Deschutes Public Library Bend 2030

OSU-Cascades Bend Surgery Center Foundation

The Nature of Words Sunriver Music Festival

The Environmental Center Big Brothers Big Sisters

Ignite Bend COCC’s Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program

Tour promoters recognize their acts work well in the intimacy of the Tower Theatre. Brandi Carlile was back on our stage last year, as was Leo Kottke and Riders in the Sky. First-time Tower performers in 2011-12 were Todd Snider, the Mickey Hart Band and the legendary Lindsey Buckingham.

We hosted a wildly successful two-week run of the musical Chicago by Bend-based Cat Call Productions, the all-female musical spectacle Maiden Bend Music Fest, and dance recitals from Mrs. Marcelle’s School of Dance at the Athletic Club of Bend, Urban Pointe Dance Academy, and The Academie de Ballet Classique.

Last year, the Tower established itself as the best place in the region to see a movie:

BendFilm Festival Sprout Film Festival

Full Draw Film Festival Fly Fishing Film Festivals

Reel Paddling Film Festival Pine Mountain Sports’ Powderhound Preview

Caldera Student Film Festival SledFilm Festival

The Tower also proved its role as a wonderful locale for corporate and community presentations:

Bend WEBCam

Bend Venture Conference

Bend Parks and Rec’s Central Oregon’s Got Talent

Bend-LaPine Education Foundation’s Trivia Bee

Karnopp Petersen’s Business 20/20 series
