“For the storybook season of 2019-2020, the company was set to produce three main-stage programs - the fall showcase (2 performances), the nutcracker (4 performances), and gala performance (2 performances), - and two ancillary programs servicing families of smaller children. Program service accomplishments: the fall showcase featured a new, original ballet, around the world in 80 days, adapted by executive artistic director kristin kingsley from the book by jules verne. These performances featured 33 middle and high school aged performers and 1 professional guest artist. The music was comprised of pieces composed by robert schumann, edvard grieg, thomas arne, and percy grainger. This production premiered at longmonts stewart auditorium at the city of longmont museum, and was accompanied by solo pianist devon newburn. 1 professional lighting crew member created lighting for this performance. 21 volunteers gave over 102 hours to alter costumes and build sets and props. Audiences totaled 326 and an inspired creative made a photography opportunity for the community in the lobby at the event. Our 8th annual production of the nutcracker featured 113 youth performers ranging in ages from 5 to 18 years old (culled from local dance studios), 1 professional guest artist, and 11 adult/teen volunteer performers. This performance marked our first nutcracker with an in-house orchestra comprised of 32 freelance professional musicians (weve previously hired amateur community orchestras), plus conductor, rick thomas. The nutcracker is a traditional holiday ballet and was choreographed by kristen demaree, matthew helms, kristin kingsley, and stephanie tuley. The niwot high school student technical crew was led by david denman (production stage manager and lighting designer) and jason watkins (stage technology teacher). Mr. Denman brings his production management background to this young crew. He is the business agent for the i.a.t.s.e. Local 229 serving northern colorado and southern wyoming. Paige denman, daughter of david denman, was given the opportunity to intern as the stage manager. It was exciting to see our mission come to life in that csb is fostering the next generation of leaders both on stage and behind the scenes. Bryan stadtherr served as our technical director. Over 114 volunteers gave over 550 hours altering costumes, building sets and props, and other work behind-the-scenes to make this production a reality. Svvsd national honor society students ushered at this event under the guidance of volunteer karen kruse and board member kimberly taylor. Audiences totaled 2305. The gala performance, featuring the lion, the witch and the wardrobe would have culminated the companys 8th year as a nonprofit and its 22nd anniversary performance season. Due to covid-19, the production rehearsals ended march 12, 2020. This production consisted of a 3-act, classical ballet composed by elgar and arranged by conductor rick thomas. 80 youth dancers were cast and had been rehearsing weekly. They ranged in age from 5 to 18 years old (culled from local dance studios), 1 professional guest artists, and 4 teen/adult volunteer performers. Executive artistic director kristin kingsley choreographed the ballet based on the book of the same name by c.s. Lewis under the rights from the cs lewis company ltd in england. Professional musicians were being contracted to play in in-house orchestra conducted by rick thomas. The niwot high school student technical crew was led by david denman (production stage manager and lighting designer), jason watkins (stage technology teacher), and bryan stadtherr (technical director). Volunteers were in the process of altering costumes. This performance was cancelled due to health concerns for the community. A financial loss was incurred based on the performance cancellation through ticket sales, prorated performance fees, and boutique merchandise sales. Additional annual ancillary programs include the sugar plum tea party (fall)”
