Marvin Hamlisch
Friday, September 14, 2007, 8 p.m.

Join us for the Opening Night of our 2007-2008 Performing Arts Season with composer, songwriter and conductor Marvin Hamlisch, one of the preeminent pop artists of our time.

Marvin Hamlisch has won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammies, three Emmys, a Tony, three Golden Globe awards and the Pulitzer Prize. Known best for his smash Broadway hits "A Chorus Line," "They’re
Playing Our Song," and "The Goodbye Girl," and for such film scores as "The Way We Were," "The Sting," and "Bananas," Mr. Hamlisch returns to Sangamon Auditorium for yet another elegant evening of memorable music and hits.

Hairspray
Sunday, September 30, 2007, 7 p.m.

Broadway’s Tony Award-winning musical-comedy phenomenon takes you back to 1962 Baltimore, as 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad sets out to dance her way onto TV’s most popular show. Can a big girl with big dreams and even bigger hair change the world . . . and still have time to win the boy she loves?  This mega-hit is piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance and enough deliriously tuneful new songs to fill a nonstop platter-party. It’s the winner of eight 2003 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Georgian State Dance Company
Wednesday, October 3, 2007, 7:30 p.m.

From the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, the Georgian State Dance Company has performed for over 50 million people in 87 countries. In 1990, their performances were announced as the "Best Show of the Year on Broadway". The Georgian State Dance Company brings to life their poetic land with their thrilling performances of traditional Georgian folk dances, complete with airborne kicks and fast spins done with kaleidoscopic geometry and military rigor. 

Defending the Caveman
Friday, October 5, 8 p.m. & Saturday, October 6, 2007, 5 & 8 p.m. - UIS Studio Theatre

Making peace in the long-running battle of the sexes, the wildly funny Defending the Caveman is the longest-running solo show in Broadway history, and in the running for the most popular comedy performance of all time. Rob Becker’s hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate leaves audiences howling with laughter. Chock full of humorous insights on feminism, machismo, and masculine “sensitivity,” Caveman finds a way to mine the commonplaces of relationships, giving both sexes plenty of reasons to roar with recognition.
