Members of the New Guard: Teen Arts Leadership Society at the 2015 Teeny Awards. Photo: Branwen Hock

TeenTix, a Seattle non-profit founded in 2004, works in partnership with 64 regional arts organizations, to ensure equitable arts access for all young people. TeenTix has facilitated the sale of over 70,000 arts tickets to teens to local organizations including Seattle Symphony, 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle Opera, Pacific Northwest Ballet, SIFF, Seattle Repertory Theatre and more.

We sat down with Executive Director Holly Arsenault,

just as she announced that she is stepping down from

the position. After 11 years at the helm, we talked to

Arsenault about teenage brains, her favorite TeenTix

memories and ways you can help the organization.

What does TeenTix do?

TeenTix partners with arts organizations to help them connect with and serve young, diverse audiences. We are best known as the people who make it possible for any teenager to buy a five-dollar ticket to pretty much any art event in the region. But we also do arts leadership training and arts journalism training. We’re all about offering teens the tools to take an active role in shaping the arts community, and empowering youth to engage with the arts on their own terms.

How does the ticketing part of TeenTix

work?

Any teen—13- to 19-years-old—can sign up for TeenTix. It’s free. They then present their TeenTix pass at any of our 64 partnered arts organizations on the day of the show or exhibit that they want to attend, and, if there are tickets available, that partner will sell them one for five bucks. That’s basically it. It is a beautifully simple, mutually-beneficial thing. We also have 2-for-$10 days —

DialogueEncore Stages in conversation

TeenTix Executive Director Holly Arsenault

Thursdays at our museum partners and Sundays everywhere else—when a TeenTix member can buy a second, $5 ticket and hand it to anyone they’d like, including an adult or a child too young for TeenTix. 

Why is exposing teenagers to the arts

important?

We have tons of data that show that arts engagement has all kinds of healthy side-effects for young people: higher rates of literacy and volunteerism, lower rates of delinquency and school dropouts. These benefits are real and important, but I always feel like they fall short of really answering the question of why this is important.

I am more compelled by the stories that young people share with me about how experiencing art has opened their hearts and brains in ways that they did not expect, how it gives them something to do with their friends that feels positive and constructive, that sharing space, and sharing experiences, with people with whom they might otherwise never come into contact with has changed their idea of what their city even is and how they fit into it. For me, that is so powerful. How many opportunities do we really create in our culture for people from different generations to share an experience where there’s not a teacher/student dynamic? Very few.

At the start of the school year, did you ever have to face that essay “What I Did Last Summer?” Here’s my take on it:

You may have heard the news about the flooding of Seattle Shakespeare Company’s offices. It occurred just after we launched our Wooden O shows in the parks in early July. You can read the details of what happened on our website (http://bit.ly/ssc-flood). It has been an enormous challenge for our company. As I write this, it has been about a month since the flooding occurred.

Seattle Center stepped up and provided a temporary space for us. They hired movers to do the bulk of the relocation of our offices. With us out of the building, the real work began on the space. They tore out the carpet, ground down years of old flooring, gutted the kitchen/ laundry area. Next they poured a new cement floor, removed mold, sealed walls, and painted. The work has been continuous.

In the meantime, our relocated staff had to set up temporary offices to keep operations going. I won’t dwell on the many challenges due to the office relocation. I’ll just tell you that it been like trying to cook a gourmet meal for twelve with a spotty camp stove . . . in the rain . . . for a month.

My guess is that we’ll be dealing with the aftermath of this incident for a long time. And yet we put one foot in front of the other to keep going.

At times I wondered how we would get through this. But what made a difference? The kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity of so many people who believe in our theatre. Seattle Center, of course, was a huge help in all this. In response to our summer enews, donations poured in. Nearly 200 people gave gifts ranging from $10 to $5,000. Solo Bar had a two-day fundraiser, giving us half their revenues. Recognizing the impact on our marketing, Encore Media donated ad space in programs. Grantmakers in the Arts and others provided us with computers. Wells Fargo stepped up with an additional corporate gift. Theatre friends and supporters provided a range of gifts, from gift baskets to additional computers. And through it all, our staff persevered.

And we presented two delightful Wooden O productions — Hamlet and Love’s Labour’s Lost. More than 11,000 people joined us in parks from Tacoma to Edmonds — a thousand more people than the previous summer. Our education team put together some terrific youth camps, including a wonderful teen production of Hamlet. And we launched rehearsals for the show you’re seeing now, The Winter’s Tale.

As I write this, we still await the completion of the remodel of the offices. When you read this, I’m hoping we’re back into our offices! While it was a wet summer, we still, with the help of so many, found the way to do what we do best — create summer theatre magic.

— John Bradshaw Managing Director

PLOT SYNOPSISLeontes, the king of Sicily, and Polixenes, the king of Bohemia, have been friends since childhood. Polixenes is about to return home after a nine-month visit with Leontes, who begs his friend to stay longer and asks his wife, Hermione, to help persuade Polixenes. When Hermione easily succeeds, Leontes suspects the two are having an affair, and he asks his faithful courtier, Camillo, to kill Polixenes. Camillo alerts Polixenes to the plot, and they escape to Bohemia together.

Leontes accuses Hermione of being pregnant with Polixenes’ child. Everyone tries to convince him otherwise, but Leontes will not listen and sends his newborn daughter, Perdita, to be abandoned in the wilderness. When the oracle of Apollo reveals Hermione’s innocence, Leontes realizes his mistake and vows to live as a penitent, constantly reminded of his terrible deeds by Paulina, Hermione’s best friend.

Time passes, and Perdita is now a young woman enjoying a pastoral life with the shepherds and amused by the thief and pedlar Autolycus. She is secretly wooed by Polixenes’ son Florizel. When Polixenes discovers that Florizel is in love with a shepherdess, he threatens to disinherit him. Camillo disguises Florizel as Autolycus to help the couple elope.

Everyone eventually finds their way back to the court of Leontes, where Perdita’s true identity is revealed, and she is engaged to Florizel with Polixenes’ blessing. Paulina takes them all to see a new statue of Hermione. Leontes begs everyone’s forgiveness, and happiness is restored to all.

When he discards her and their children for a new bride, the blow strikes deep into Medea’s heart. She is transformed into concentrated white hot fury.

On August 11 the New York Times* ran an article on the rare joy of seeing actors perform in repertory, portraying multiple roles in different plays over the course of a few days. The article ran just days after the start of rehearsals for The Winter’s Tale. Director Sheila Daniels addressed the assembled group made up primarily of the cast, by noting something unique, “I am so struck by history by looking at this room.”

There was a lot of history in that room. A history of many artists who have worked and appeared together on our stages, in some cases, dating back nearly 25 years. Although it’s not as immediate and visceral to see an actor play Falstaff one day and then King Lear the next afternoon, there is something special about watching artists grow over time.

Several artists in The Winter’s Tale have appeared on our stages in multiple productions and in various combinations. We thought it was worth noting the “history” of these artistic relationships. Below is a sampling of some of the artistic collaborations that have taken place over time on our stages.

“I was thinking about Amy this morning and realized that the first time I ever saw Amy on stage was in 1986 in the summer at Oregon Shakespeare Festival,” Daniels recalled, “and that same fall Reg [Reginald André Jackson] and I were students together at Lane Community College.”

Reggie appeared in Seattle Shakespeare Company’s second production, Othello (1992). He and Amy Thone appeared together for the first time on our stage as Helena and Demetrius in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1998) and then went on to appear together in productions of Macbeth (2001), King Lear (2004), and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2011).

George Mount hired Sheila Daniels to direct her first Shakespeare production, Macbeth (2005), for Wooden O. Daniels went on to direct Reggie Jackson in Pericles (2006), Amy Thone and Brenda Joyner in Much Ado About Nothing (2010), Darragh Kennan in Electra (2010), Amy and Reggie in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2011), and Amy in King Lear (2014).

Darragh Kennan and Brenda Joyner first appeared on stage together as Sir Andrew Aguecheek and Olivia in Twelfth Night (2009); they later appeared together in a celebrated production of Hamlet (2010) as Hamlet and Ophelia.

It was a production of The Merry Wives of Windsor in 2001 that brought George Mount and MJ Sieber together for the first time. They later played the Antipholus twins in The Comedy of Errors (2007).

After a summer performing in parks around the Puget Sound, Seattle Shakespeare Company is back indoors, kicking off our mainstage season with The Winter’s Tale. Summertime’s Wooden O and mainstage shows, however, are only two of our three performance programs and, surprisingly, they are the smallest two!

For the last nine springs, we’ve been sending small-cast tours to perform in schools and performing arts centers across the state. Between March and May, these nimble productions serve more than 16,000 people each year. The statewide tour is our largest performance program, and it’s about to grow even more.

For the past several years our spring tour has maxed out its booking capacity, with more than 60 performances across the entire state. This fall, we are thrilled to announce the return of our 2016 touring cast for a limited run of Romeo and Juliet, serving the greater Seattle area from October 10 to November 10, 2016.

Touring cast members are much more than actors and teaching artists. They are ambassadors not just for Seattle Shakespeare Company, but for the art form of theatre itself. For many students, these productions are the first professional theatre they encounter and, thanks to the talent, enthusiasm, and commitment of our touring cast members, it is an experience that leaves students eager for more.

Bookings for our fall tour are available now. For more information about bringing a touring production to a school in your community, please contact Casey Brown, Touring Manager: caseyb@seattleshakespeare.org or 206-733-8228 x 241

“The performance was nothing like what we expected. I’m not sure what I thought it would be like, but when those actors spoke loud, and clearly, with such passion and feeling, how could you not pay attention.”

A-10 SEATTLE SHAKESPEARE COMPANY

After a summer performing in parks around the Puget Sound, Seattle Shakespeare Company is back indoors, kicking off our mainstage season with The Winter’s Tale. Summertime’s Wooden O and mainstage shows, however, are only two of our three performance programs and, surprisingly, they are the smallest two!

For the last nine springs, we’ve been sending small-cast tours to perform in schools and performing arts centers across the state.

I also love hearing from teens who do not participate in any other kinds of art activities in their day-to-day lives. We have a young woman right now on the New Guard, our Teen Arts Leadership Society, named Elizabeth. She goes to Aviation High School in Tukwila, which is a STEM high school. She says that TeenTix taught her that you don’t have to be an artist to be a part of the arts community, and that art is now a huge part of her life and the way she engages with the world—she never expected that to happen. People like Elizabeth are so important for the health of this community, and we need to be nurturing their interest and inviting them to participate in every way that we can.

What are some TeenTix memories that

will stick with you?

Oh, golly. So many. You are asking me this at a particularly tender time, with me stepping down at the end of October. One memory that is really indelible is a young woman named Olivia Menzer. She was an athlete, primarily, in high school, but she started writing reviews for the TeenTix blog, and then she participated in a little experiment we were doing with On the Boards for a bit called the Contemporary Performance Cool Kids Club where a group of teens committed to seeing everything in OtB’s season for one year and then they would get together on Saturdays with Dave Schmader and just talk about it. That program was one of the better things we’ve done. Anyway, that season OtB produced a conversation hosted by CultureBot where they asked a bunch of different audience types to give short talks about their experiences with contemporary performance. Olivia was one of them, and she just blew the walls down. She was so honest and vulnerable about her anxiety and confusion about some of the work she had seen, and so passionate about what it meant to her and how it had

changed her. This was four years ago, I think, and people still tell me about the impact that her five-minute speech had on them, just allowing people—some of whom consider themselves to be very sophisticated arts goers—to kind of reclaim their “beginners mind” and feel comfortable saying “I don’t know what that was, but here’s how it made me feel.” For me, that is the power of inviting young people into our arts spaces. They are still in learning mode, they’re still in the student part of their lives, so they can be less shy about asking questions and just engaging with something where they are, which then makes that easier for everybody else. There is so much that we, as established arts audiences, have to learn and gain from inviting young people into “our” spaces.  

How can someone get involved in

TeenTix?

This year, we expect to send about 15,000 teens through the doors of our region’s arts organizations. TeenTix is a pure service organization—we get no revenue from the ticket sales that we facilitate. We rely entirely on the generosity of the community to keep doing what we do. Luckily, this community has really stepped up and said, “Yes, we want to be a place where all teens—regardless of their background or income—have access to the arts.” So, donating money is a great way to get involved and join that movement. We are growing just as fast as we can to keep up with the demand for our work, but we could double our staff tomorrow and everybody would still have more than enough to do.

If someone is interested in learning more about TeenTix, our annual gala, The Teeny Awards, is a great starting point. This year it will be October 9th at Benaroya Hall. It’s a perfect opportunity to get to hang out with some arts-passionate teens, and support TeenTix. People always tell me that they leave the event feeling really optimistic about the future of this community. That’s how I feel every day, so it’s nice to get to share that feeling. <
