From the Director
____________________________

Many of you have contacted me over the past
year asking me to consider a few changes in
our approach to marketing performing arts
opportunities to better fit your lifestyle. I am impressed with your level of commitment and
the passion in your request.

We have a new look this year!  I hope you find
our new brochure easier to use, the
programming irresistible, and share my pride in
our performing arts programming.  You will
notice that we feature partnerships and collaborations with both UIS units and community organizations.  This is a direction that we will continue to expand upon in future years.

We are presenting our offerings and many purchasing options in a single brochure, so that you will be better able to plan for the upcoming year.  When possible, we have scheduled more weekend performances.  You have requested flexibility, same seat opportunities, deeper discounts for UIS students, and most of all, quality and variety at affordable prices.

Our staff has invested considerable time and energy responding to the needs of our various audiences.  We had a very good year; help me make the upcoming year a great year for the performing arts at UIS!
