NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE
Performing Arts What an exciting time of year. We all survived the third largest snowstorm in Chicago history. Okay, I hope we all survived the snowstorm. The Fine Arts is wrapping up another great year in the arts at North Central College and moving ahead with our sesquicentennial celebration; 150 years that North Central College has been in existence and you get to be a part of this historic milestone. I love surprises, and I love building to a great final event. That’s another reason why this time of year is so wonderful. The final event in our Performing Arts Series is American Legacies: The Del McCoury Band and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. (We still have a full line up in May, so don’t stop attending now.) This is one of the most exciting concerts I have had the privilege of seeing. I cannot wait to share it with all of you. If you are here for a performance before American Legacies, you must come back. Not only will you experience an amazing evening of entertainment, but you will be among the first to hear about the 2011-2012 season for the arts in Naperville here at North Central College. We bring the best artists for the best and most affordable prices for you, our loyal patrons. We know you will not be disappointed with the line-up we have for next season. Since it is the actual 150th year of the college, we are pulling out all the stops. We have the greatest performance venues in this great city for you, our great customers. You will not want to miss one event of the coming season. This is a perfect time to thank everyone in the arts at North Central. I have the honor of working with a terrific team from our front of house staff to the unsung heroes behind the scenes. We could not bring you the entertainment we do without these people so thank you. This is also the perfect time to thank our Friends of the Arts, those of you who go above and beyond the price of the tickets to help us bring you the artists that we do. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is people like you who also make this all possible. Whether you are renewing your subscription for next season or purchasing a pair of tickets for a special night, please consider joining the Friends of the Arts. Complete details of the program are available at our box office or from any of our friendly staff. They will be more than happy to fill you in. Your gift to the arts is just the beginning. Depending on your level of support, we are able to give back to you through sneak previews, special events, unique offers, and, of course, great artists. The bottom line is we cannot do it without you. Thank you in advance for your support. And now, on with the show!
