Our 2011/12 per formance season finds us reflecting on the mission and role of Carolina Per forming Ar ts. Over the last year, we have examined fundamental questions: How do we succinctly define our role and mission? What is success? Do you – our audience – feel engaged and inspired? Are our per formers equally engaged and inspired? What impact should we be having on our university, our community and beyond? Our exploration of these questions has resulted in our new guiding principles and mission and three simple words:

Gate Theatre
Dublin’s illustrious Gate Theatre started the acting careers of Orson Welles and James Mason, enjoyed a close association with the late Harold Pinter, and became the first company in the world to present a full retrospective of the nineteen stage plays of Samuel Beckett – a towering figure in 20th-century theater and one of the great Irish humorists. Beckett’s Endgame tells the comical tale of the aged and blind Hamm and his servant Clov, co-existing in a mutually dependent and fractious relationship with only Hamm’s parents, legless from a biking accident, for company. Watt is Beckett’s hilarious study of obsessional neurosis, adapted from his autobiographical novel.

Béla Fleck & the Original Flecktones Nominated in more categories than anyone in Grammy Award history – country, pop, jazz, bluegrass, classical, folk, spoken word, composition and arranging – Béla Fleck is considered by many to be the most innovative banjo player in the world, transcending language and culture barriers and finding common ground with musicians ranging from African villagers to international superstars. Through a remarkable per forming and recording career that has taken him all over the musical map and on a range of solo projects and collaborations, Béla Fleck has reinvented the image and sound of the banjo. He appears here with his signature ensemble the Flecktones.
