As technology changes, Mount Baker Theatre con-stantly evaluates what we’re doing and what we need to do to stay on top and provide the very best possible experience for our customers. With this in mind, the Mount Baker Theatre board re-cently approved making a substantial investment in our website. It’s been several years since we overhauled the site, and during that time we’ve realized that there are plenty of things we can do differently and better.

One of the latest trends in web design is for web pages to be “responsive.” This means that no matter which form of technology you use—computer, tablet, or smart phone—you’ll get access to the entire site with the easiest navigation and best optimization pos-sible. This means less zooming, squinting, and resizing, but with the full information usually missing from “mobile optimized” webpages. This also means improved acces-sibility and navigation of our calendar of events, access to even more sneak-peak show videos, and an overall improved and simplified purchasing process.

We’re working with an outstanding web design firm called Domain7. Their strategy: “foster a highly collaborative research-based approach to architecting on-line experi-ences.” Based on findings from a thorough research and vision stage, their designers will create a product with the user-experience top of mind—they call it “humanizing the web.” With that in mind, we are very interested in hearing from you about what you would like in our new site. Our expectation is that we’ll be making progress and improvements on the new site until its completion early next year. To provide input just send an email to [email protected] and put “Web Site” in the subject line, or simply contact Marketing Manager Beth Melvin at (360) 733-5793 x 307, and we’ll listen to your suggestions and consider them as we go through the process.

Once we complete this upgrade we’ll be one of the first performing arts centers on the west coast to have a responsive website and such a significant improvement will be much more convenient for our customers! Let us know what you want. But in the meantime… please enjoy the show!

Brad Burdick, Executive Director

It’s summer 2008, and a point in my life where I’m completely oblivious to the happenings in live theatre. A friend’s mom has offered to treat the three of us to a girl’s afternoon: lunch and the newly released movie version of Mamma Mia! I admit, I enjoyed the music of ABBA back in the day. But…a musical based solely on their music? Really? Well, hey, it’s a free afternoon to hang out with friends, and I’ll at least enjoy the nostalgia associated with the tunes, so…I’m in!

And I did…enjoy the nostalgia, and the tunes, and the dancing, and the absolute feel-good story woven through and around the music. This was completely one of those ‘whole is greater than the sum of parts’ situations and I had a blast! So much so, in fact, that I acquired the DVD and invited friends to come and watch it with me. Again and again.

Now it’s coming to the MBT stage, and I realized I still didn’t know much about the Broadway version. In case you also happen to still be oblivious to the phenomenon that is Mamma Mia! here are some facts from my research. Now in its 14th year on Broadway, more than 50 million people worldwide have seen the production, and it has grossed more than $2 billion. It is the ninth longest-running Broadway show, and the longest-running jukebox musical in Broadway history. It has played in 40 countries, on all six continents, including several non-English versions (now I’m back to trying to wrap my mind around that concept). Mamma Mia! also set the record for premiering in more cities faster than any other musical in history.

For those curious about the process, it turns out that several talented people had a hand in turning a collection of ABBA’s biggest hits into a story at the heart of a musical. First you have ABBA, from Sweden, topping charts repeatedly in Australia, North America, and Europe to become one of the most internationally popular pop music groups of the 1970s. Then producer Judy Craymer meets ABBA songwriters Björn

Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson in 1983, and realizes the theatrical potential of their songs, such as “The Winner Takes All.” While not completely opposed to the idea, the songwriting duo also wasn’t exactly enthusiastic.

Finally, in 1997, Craymer commissioned playwright Catherine Johnson to write a book for the musical. Andersson and Ulvaeus got involved in the development of the show at the beginning and fellow bandmate Anni-Frid Lyngstad has been financially involved and present at many premieres around the world.

With a title taken from the 1975 chart-topping song, the musical includes that tune along with the story-telling magic in such timeless songs as “Super Trouper,” “Lay All Your Love on Me,” “Dancing Queen,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Thank You for the Music,” “Money, Money, Money,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Voulez Vous,” and “SOS.”

I remember commenting, after watching that movie version several years ago, how well ABBA’s music had been woven into an actual story that while not gripping, had enough plot to be

©Kevin Thomas Garcia, 2013

Page 23: Playbill for Jekyll & Hyde

interesting. The story itself unfolds on a tiny Greek island. The funny and heartwarming (an overused but apt description) tale of a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father is presented with enough unknowns to keep my interest and an abundance of quirky characters to love. Her invitation to three men from her mother’s past brings them back to the island they visited last 20 years ago, and where old relationships are revisited and new relationships are forged. The charming story combined with ABBA’s well-loved tunes created a feel-good, infectious experience that I wanted to recapture.

Watching actors who seemed to be having such fun doing something a bit different than usual added to my movie experience. Now I’m looking forward to seeing it on performed on a stage with different actors and without the beautiful Greek island. I’m not at all concerned whether it will be the same great experience, because I expect that whether it’s the story or the music, on screen or on stage, performer or audience, we’ll all still be having the time of our lives!

See Mamma Mia! on MBT’s Main Stage at 7:30 pm on Monday, March 30, 2015.

Around the globe, the first half of the 1940s evokes strong memories for those who lived it. Even for those without first-hand experience, there are equally strong images associated with that time.

Foremost is, of course, World War II. Officially lasting 6 years and 1 day, it was the deadliest conflict in human history, includ-ing the Holocaust and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centers.

Struggling with war-time concerns, Amer-icans were hungry for optimism and looking for moments of enjoyment. Enter the Swing era of music. This body of work is credited with doing much to sustain national morale during WWII. The intimate, romantic bal-lads and up-tempo big band instrumentals set the mood of a future filled with hope, promise, and prosperity.

The release of the 1939s tune In the Mood from American bandleader Glenn Miller, topped the charts for 13 straight weeks in 1940. It went on to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1983 and was named by National Public Radio in 1999 as “one of the 100 most important Ameri-can musical works of the 20th century.” In February 1944, the single was released as a V-Disc, one of a series of recordings sent free to overseas military personnel by the War Department.

The Swing era is worthy of celebration as

the last time in the 20th century that the entire country shared a common popular music. On radio, in theaters, and in ballrooms, Big Bands were drawing record crowds. Soloists and vocal groups sang a repertoire of great songs, and the nation’s spirit moved with them.

The retro 1940s musical revue, also called In the Mood, began in 1994 as a celebration of this unusual era. Featuring the String of Pearls Big Band Orchestra and the In the Mood Sing-ers and Dancers, the music and arrangements are as authentic as it gets.

The show was included in the 50th Anni-versary WWII commemoration held by the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The engagement was extended twice to accom-modate crowds lining up for hours ahead of curtain time. In 1993, thousands attended a repeat performance outdoors on Constitution Avenue, staying to dance into the night. As a result of the overwhelming popularity of the show, In the Mood began a series of tours across the nation.

Now on their 20th Anniversary Tour, In the Mood can be seen on the Mount Baker Theatre Main Stage on Wednesday, March 4, 2015, at 7 p.m.

Drums have always been a part of human experience. Every culture has used drums, most often in ceremony or as a call to battle. “Taiko” generally refers to the relatively modern art of ensemble performance. How-ever, the word actually refers to the drums, and literally means “fat drum.” The specific history of taiko drums isn’t known, but the oldest physical evidence dates from the sixth or seventh century.

Taiko were traditionally used singly; en-semble performances popular today weren’t born until the early 1950s. Much of the credit for starting that post-war phenom-enon is given to jazz drummer Daihachi Oguchi. He happened upon an old piece of taiko music he wanted to perform, jazzed it up with a new arrangement, and broke with tradition (as jazz musicians often do) by assembling a taiko drum ensemble. This new style was an instant hit, and gained even greater popularity with the advent of Japanese television.

In 1969 Tagayasu Den, as part of a larger movement to rediscover Japanese folk art, collected a group of youths seeking to leave modern big city life for a communal alternative on Sado Island. Sado is Japan’s sixth largest island and located just off the coast in the Sea of Japan. The group, known as Za Ondekoza, dedicated themselves to taiko drumming not simply as a style of

music, but as a way of life. That life included rigorous training (including daily marathon running) and communal living alongside the drumming. This immersion and focus created a powerful performance that awed the world, and the group gained new members.

In 1981, the larger group split, and original members remained on Sado to form Kodo. The word “kodo” has dual meanings: “heart-beat” as the primal source of all rhythm, and “children of the drum.” The latter meaning reflects Kodo’s desire to play the drums simply, as with the heart of a child. Sado Island is still their home, and a place where indigenous performing arts and traditional ways of life continue to thrive. Kodo’s goal is a harmoni-ous balance between the natural world and its human inhabitants.

At the Kodo Apprentice Centre young peo-ple are trained in all matters of spirit and body, alongside musical technique. All apprentices

live and train communally for two years, before select members go on to spend another year as junior members. If successful, they can then become full Kodo members. Men and women of all nationalities, experiences, and backgrounds are welcome. The only requirements are being over 18, healthy, and speaking advanced Japanese.

Kodo has achieved international fame, and is generally accepted as the oldest professional group of taiko drummers. The group bal-

ances preservation of the ancient drumming tradition with a re-interpretation of the art, bringing influences from international tours back to the Sado Island community to incor-porate into their work. From the rich depth of tradition, Kodo pushes taiko music to greater musical heights.

You can experience the tradition, the excitement, and the heartbeat on the Mount Baker Theatre stage, Wednesday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m.

MBT Education Program

The Wade Bennett King Education Series is a community engagement pro-

gram provided by the theatre for public, pri-vate, and home schools in Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and upper Snohomish counties. This exceptional program enriches school curricu-la while providing students with the cultural experience that comes from early exposure to professional live performance. When availa-ble, study guides pertaining to each show are provided to teachers, giving them an oppor-tunity to use the shows as educational tools

in their classrooms. Question-and-answer sessions are frequently offered after the shows, providing an opportunity for the students to interact directly with the actors.

During the 2013-2014 school year, the theatre hosted more than 15,600 students and teachers at performances ranging from stunt dogs and African folktales to traditional stage

COMMUNITY

plays and musicals. The Education Series of-ten features stage adaptations of well-known children’s literature, providing an oppor-tunity for young people to look at reading and stories in a whole new way. To borrow a quote from Faustworks Mask Theatre, the goal of the Education Series is to “excite the student to continue learning well beyond the performance they have just seen.” For many students this is the only live theater experi-ence they have had.

Our 19th Education Series begins in October 2014 with Cirque Mechanics and extends through May 2015. Education brochures for the 2014-15 Season featured the names of all business sponsors and communi-ty donors whose support makes this program possible. MBT is dedicated to honoring and raising community awareness about the strong commitment our sponsors make to the children of Bellingham and surrounding areas. For more information about the Education Series please contact Alison C. Terry, Program Manager, at (360) 733-5793. The Education Series is sponsored by the Frank King Family in memory of their son Wade.

THE MOUNT BAKER THEATRE was

the creation of a nationwide movement

to construct formidable theater buildings in

the hearts of American cities. Now, decades

later, the few remaining giant palaces of

another era are involved in a new movement,

this time to preserve a wonderful heritage and

to restore the structures for community use,

performing arts, and entertainment centers.

In 1978 the Mount Baker Theatre was placed

on the National Historic Landmark Register.

Through the cooperative efforts of the City

of Bellingham, Whatcom County, the State

of Washington, the citizen-based non-profit

Mount Baker Theatre Center and numerous

private donations, the historic landmark un-

derwent extensive restoration and remodeling

of the 1509-seat facility to assure a permanent

and useful place in the cultural life of the

community. It remains true to its heritage

of stage presentations and community use

events.

The construction of the Theatre itself was a

monumental task, employing several different

contractors and more than 80 craftsmen experi-

enced in stone masonry, carpentry, and plaster

casting. The 130–by-250-foot theatre was out-

fitted to accommodate vaudeville stage produc-

tions on a 26-by-75-foot stage under a 42-foot

proscenium arch. Dressing and practice rooms

behind the stage were connected by a tunnel to

the orchestra pit, and the best in counter-weight

lighting systems were used to enhance the live

performances.

UP NEXT ON THE MAIN STAGE

Exploring the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese taiko drum, Kodo is forging new directions for a vibrant living art form. In Japanese the word “kodo” conveys two meanings: the first is “heartbeat,” the primal source of all rhythm. The word can also mean “children of the drum,” a reflec-tion of Kodo’s desire to play the drums simply, with the heart of a child. Since the group’s debut at the Berlin Festival in 1981, Kodo has given more than 3,700 performances on all five continents, spending about a third of the year overseas, a third touring in Japan and a third rehearsing and preparing new material on Sado Island. Collaborations with other artists and composers extend across the musical spectrum, and Kodo’s lack of preconceptions about its music continues to produce startling new fusion and forms.

Renowned performer and writer Steve Martin provides a reinvigorated satire adapted from the 1910 German play about Louise and Theo Maske, a couple whose conservative existence is shat-tered when Louise’s bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, Theo thinks the incident will cost him his job as a govern-ment clerk. Louise’s momentary display does not result in the feared scandal, but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Maskes’ home. Oblivious to their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both a foppish poet and a whiny hypochondriac. Filled with off-the-wall humor, wordplay, and masterful banter, The Underpants is relevant in the most entertaining of ways
