What a successful season! We saw an increase of 12% for single-ticket sales and 5% for season subscriptions. We created new partnerships with other local organizations including:

• Frizz Hair Experience helping us with hair donations by patrons during our production of Hair• The American Red Cross - hosting two blood drives, one in the fall during Dracula and the other during

the spring• Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank - during the holiday season we collected and donated 242 lbs. of food

which equals 201 meals!

A Note From the Managing and Artistic DirectorsA Season of Partnerships

Cast members from A Christmas Carol: The Musical and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee pose for a promo photo for our donation collection.

We partnered with Nervous Dog Coffee Bar & Roaster to serve their coffee before our shows and with R. Shea Brewing, which created some show specific brews, that they had at their tasting room and we served on-site during opening weekends. By hosting events from Creative Cog to 91.3 The Summit, we engaged new potential customers who had never been to our theater before.

This season we decided it was time to upgrade our sound system. This began with the installation of a new assisted listening system that taps into the T-coil in hearing aids. In the latter part of the year, we ran a generosity campaign and raised $7,678 towards phase I of a new sound system, which we were able to integrate before Monty Python’s Spamalot.

Looking forward to another exciting season,

ProfessionalOur volunteers, patrons and critiques say we produce professional-quality work. This year’s peoples’ choice awards with the Akron Beacon Journal and Akron Life Magazine make that pretty clear, too.

Although we landed in third place in the Beacon’s Best of 2015, we are in great company along with Playhouse Square (1) and the Akron Civic Theatre (2). We were the only community theater in the top three.

And we landed in second place this year in Akron Life’s Best of the City, behind EJ Thomas Hall.

FamilyThere’s family you’re given and family you choose. Weathervane is full of both. We have many families that volunteer together and many generations grow up at Weathervane.

Peter Pan was one of the ultimate examples of family, where parents literally flew their children in the air for every performance. Creating magic for the audience and memories for the families onstage that will last a lifetime.

So many people refer to their castmates, crewmates and other fellow volunteers as their “Weathervane Family.”

DedicationFrom Peter Pan through Spamalot - Gracie and Diane Thanasiu embarked on a challenge this season. They made a pact that they would volunteer together on every single production. And the mother-daughter duo held true to their word, endeavoring to not only work every show, but explore all the volunteer opportunities.

Logan Chapman also was inspired to challenge himself to work every show in the second half of the season. He even convinced his parents to start a family vacation a bit late so he could run lights for just one more performance of The Man Who Came to Dinner.

Jay Sigler branched out from acting and also worked on every production of the season as an actor, git shop sales associate, bartender, co-designer for properties and made his directorial debut in the 8x10 TheatreFest.

More than 380 volunteers contributed more than 41,000 hours this season!

Fun

Don’t just take our word for it.....

“It really is my favorite place! So many wonderful people and memories.” - Kaitlyn Harris, volunteer actress

“My cousin got me involved, first by working backstage, then I switched to working as House Manager and as an usher. I have fun seeing the people coming to see the shows.” - Christina Sanyo

“I love being backstage and feeling the buzz of the production without the stage fright.” - parent backstage volunteer

“Volunteering at Weathervane is fun. I enjoy learning new things.” - Niya

Welcoming

CommunityWe challenged ourselves and our community to new ways of engaging with each other this year. The journey began with four volunteers who donated their hair to charity and took the first cut onstage at a performance of Hair.

Next, we hosted a blood drive for the American Red Cross in October as a nod to our production of Dracula. As far as anyone from the valley and Red Cross can recall, this was the first blood drive in the Merriman Valley. It was so successful, we held another drive at Valentine’s Day.

The holiday season always inspires generosity. We served as a donation center for the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank during our productions of A Christmas Carol: The Musical and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Our volunteers and patrons contributed 242 lbs. of food, which provided 201 meals.

“Every time I have walked into Weathervane, I am always immediately greeted by people who love and support me.” - Jonathan Gruich, volunteer actor

“Weathervane demonstrates a willingness and interest to leverage the strengths of many actors from many walks of life and is very inclusive.” - parent volunteer

We provided opportunities for students and families of Project R.I.S.E. to attend our productions of A Christmas Carol: The Musical and Peter and the Starcatch-er. “We at Project R.I.S.E. commend Weathervane for their efforts to be more inclusive of all our members in the Akron Community both onstage and in the audience!” -Debra Manteghi, District Homeless Education Liaison & Program Manager

We began the 2015-2016 season soaring through the sky with our Emerging Artists Series production of Peter Pan. Audiences were showered with pixie dust as this talented cast brought the classic tale to life. When we returned from Neverland, we dove into our first ever Education Carnival. This was a great way for kids from all over our community to attend a free event at the Playhouse. Many of our Outreach Program patrons were able to come and meet our teachers, take a sample class, eat some treats and sing with a princess. Many of the kids attending signed up for fall classes and applied for scholarships that day. We had over 150 people in attendance and we are excited to continue this tradition!

Our fall session was record breaking! We had 121 children enrolled in our fall classes. Each Saturday, our lobby was filled with families and little actors. Our classes were: Imagine That; Superheroes and Villains; Places, Please; Enter Stage Right; Star Struck; Musical Theatre I and II; Advanced Acting; Advanced Musical Theatre; and Broadway Tap. We had over 500 people at our final presentations on November 21.

Our young actors got into the holiday spirit this year with our production of A Christmas Carol: The Musical. This musical featured the nostalgia of this great musical retelling of a classic tale. Jeff Bixby led our diverse cast of 35. It was a holiday delight for the entire family! We even had A Christmas Carol’s High Tea, where our very own Princess told stories, sang songs and taught us all the proper ways to have tea.

We had a few new adult classes in the fall. First up was “Broadway Bodies.” Our class of dancers had a wonderful time exploring different dance styles and getting exercise. We spent the first week with Marissa Leenaarts, learning a dance from A Christmas Carol: The Musical. Next, Miss Sarah spent two weeks teaching them how to tap away their troubles. Kevin Lambes taught our next class on Bob Fosse. Who knew such little movement could be so hard?! We ended our class, kicking it old school, with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Our average class size was 8. Next up was our Master Class with John Davis, the director of the bone-chilling Dracula. He spent time explaining his concept of the production and led a two hour Stage Combat Master Class. We had 4 people attend the workshop and stay for the production.

This past fall we continued our after-school programs at two Copley-Fairlawn Schools. We also ran new after-school programs at South Street Missions and at Parma City Schools. After our successful run in the fall at one school, Parma invited us to two schools in the spring. We also continued programming at Copley-Fairlawn Schools. Over the course of the year, we were able to serve a total of 171 students in after-school programming.

Muggles (non-magical folks) had a magical time at The Yule Ball held at Weathervane Playhouse! We had 38 students attend this amazing event. Marissa Leenaarts transformed the theatre and even built a Whomping Willow in the entryway. Our food was donated by Tom Nunley and cookies by Corina Gaffney. Our DJ, Jason Leenaarts, was delighted to play all the kids’ favorite hits with equipment donated by Christopher Pepe. It was an amazing evening and the kids are “literally dying” to do it again! We had a nice article in the Beacon Journal and the word of mouth about the event has been extremely positive. Plus we raised $1,218!

We had 13 spies sign up for our second annual Spring Break Spy camp. Our spring session of classes began on March 5. We had over 140 children enrolled in class. Our final class presentations brought over 500 eager friends and families into the playhouse. We also brought back a second edition of our adult class “Broadway Bodies.” Kevin Lambes taught new dance styles and routines to an average class size of 12.

A Note From the Director of Education

Our Weathervane Chanticleers Show Choir had a great inaugural season. We performed once a month at a variety of different locations throughout the community. We performed for almost 6,000 people last year! This talented group of singers and dancers is devoted to the music of Broadway and gives a sneak peek of our season to the community.

This year has been a year of reassessment in the scout programming at Weathervane. In the fall we offered two scout badge days, where troops could earn most of the requirements towards theatre or performance-related badges and one smaller scout day in the spring. A total of 144 scouts attended our scout programs throughout the year. Education Coordinator, Dane CT Leasure, has chatted with the scouts about how to recreate the program moving forward to better serve the scouts in Northeast Ohio. This plan will be

implemented throughout the 2016-2017 year.

Sarah Bailey’s program Imagine That is now in residence at Akron Children’s Hospital. She provides theatre programming once a month with the mission to reduce feelings of isolation, reduce stress, create connections within a hospital setting, encourage self-expression, creative problem solving, encourage movement and play! She also applied for and received the Emily List Fund for Performing Arts Therapy for the third year in a row! This allows Weathervane to provide these services at zero cost to the patients and hospital.

We worked with a new group called Broadway Connection which brought Broadway to performing arts students at Weathervane Playhouse! Without the cost of travel and lodging, students had the opportunity to work with a cast member from the Broadway tour of Matilda. We look forward to new and exciting classes next season.

The summer of 2016 has proven to be a summer of fun! Our on-site classes served 170 students. Off site, summer was sizzling with our library programs. We offered our curriculum Theatre Games or Jedi Training Camp at 14 different libraries in Summit and Wayne counties. We served over 500 children and families. Perhaps you wondered by Portage Path CLC in July? If you did, you would have heard over 100 students enjoying dance, art, theatre and poetry in our 2016 Neighborhood Playhouse. This camp is provided by a generous grant from The City of Akron’s Department of Housing and Urban Development. Each child attended at zero cost and received two meals a day thanks to a partnership with Akron Public Schools who also provides the space in

kind! Across town, little wizards in training were learning spells (stage combat), potions (science), mythology (Latin), dance and they stayed on the lookout for “you-know-who.” We had 61 students attend Hogwarts Summer Studies at Resnik CLC. This was a magical partnership with the Gifted and Talented program at Akron Public Schools.
