Reynolds Performance Hall at UCA will come alive with performances as UCA Public Appearances offers its biggest season to date: 21 performances of 12 different shows, starting mid-September and ending in late April 2008.
Variety abounds and there is something for everyone, according to Guy Couch, director of UCA Public Appearances.
“We have put together a group of shows that will spice up your nights with sparking professional entertainment,” says Couch. “From Neil Berg’s ‘100 Years of Broadway’ to the final bow of the St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre’s new production of ‘Carmen,’ these are all great shows. We have Broadway and country, rock opera and dance, cirque and world music. Really, this is a true variety season with something to please everyone. We are very happy with the way the season came together this year.”
Opening September 13 and 14 with a New York Broadway revue, Neil Berg’s “100 Years of Broadway” is a President’s Choice show and will be hosted by President Lu Hardin and his wife Mary. “This year UCA celebrates its first 100 years, and the revue celebrates the last 100 years of the Broadway musical. It’s a nice fit, and a great show,” said Couch.
Couch also announced new price options as well. “With 12 shows, we felt like we would need to offer our season ticket holders some options, so we have developed a flexible season ticket package. Purchasers can choose the full 12-show package or they can choose 8 of the 12 shows, and they get to choose the 8 shows they want to see.” he said.
Season ticket holders also get to choose their performance dates. Five of the 12 shows have a single performance. Five have double performances. Two shows have 3 performances, for a total of 21 performances.
Season tickets will remain on sale through September 14. UCA students can obtain tickets for only $10.
