Civic's Coleman a prodigy from the start

Stockton Civic Theatre Artistic Director Jim Coleman, watching the cast rehearse a scene in June from the hit musical “42nd Street,” has a renowned history on Broadway, working with the likes of Angela Lansbury, Leslie Uggams and Patti Lupone. “I never thought of it as being a step back,” Coleman said of his move to Stockton. “I wouldn't have gone to just any community theater. This community theater is different to me.”

The easy smile and upbeat demeanor of Jim Coleman these days doesn't stem from the success of his current Stockton Civic Theatre hit, "42nd Street."

The artistic director of SCT since 2005 always bubbles with enthusiasm when he's in the theater, whether he's directing, conducting the music, playing the piano or telling the audience where the emergency exits are located.

He was to the theater born, and long before he was raising the quality of local productions or shaking up the status quo by bringing in cutting-edge material like "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and "The Full Monty," Coleman enjoyed a 30-year professional career as a director and musical director on Broadway and national tours, a part of 96 different musicals and operas.

"I've been very fortunate," Coleman said. "I've worked with some great people. I've worked with some not so great people. I could write a book, but I have to wait for a few more people to die."

Actually, the 65-year-old Coleman has quite a tale to share even if he doesn't dish the dirt, beginning when he was hired at 16 to play the piano for a dinner-theater production of "The Fantasticks" at Santa Rosa's Flamingo Hotel.

He'd been something of a musical prodigy. At 6, when his family lived in Stockton, he'd come home from church and pick out the hymns he'd heard on the piano, prompting his mom to sign him up for lessons.

"He really flourished," said his sister, Nancy Bowles. "His teacher told my stepdad he was the best person he'd ever worked with. He said he was closer to pitch perfect than anyone he'd ever known."

Music was his first love, but he majored in that and theater at Northwestern University. Not long after graduation, in 1973, he made his way to New York, invited by a friend who had a spare bedroom and guaranteed that those with talent got work.

Civic's Coleman a prodigy from the start

"He said, 'You're ready, you're going to do ("I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change").' He was my musical director, and he never once said, 'You shouldn't do that or you should do that.' He kept his mouth shut. He did the music.



Review: Theory of a Deadman - The Truth Is...

The opener, "On The Line," is musically as upbeat as a Springsteen anthem while the lyrics tell a darker story of despair and loneliness. "Nothin's Free" is a quiet, cautionary tale spun by a world-weary hero while "Lorraine" is a lively campfire-romp
