From the Executive Director & ISU President Dear Friends, Welcome to the 47th annual Performing Arts Series at Stephens. We are so pleased to have you join us. Since 1969, generations of audience goers have been star-struck by a long list of entertainers who have defined the quality of entertainment you expect to see on our stage. We continue the tradition with a performance for everyone this season. World-class music ensembles, Broadway shows, comedy, dance and acclaimed performers are all at home at Iowa State University and all under one roof. In the age of 24/7 entertainment from countless delivery systems, we thank you for making the performing arts important in your life and to the lives of others. According to the State of Iowa Official Public Register, the arts are a major force in Iowa’s economic development. Over $140 million is generated each year in the state, creating jobs that serve nearly two million Iowans. There has always been a need for audiences and performers to connect in the same space and it is energizing to see our community so passionate and supportive of our Performing Arts Series. As you leave this performance, ask yourself, What took you by surprise? What about the performance inspired and motivated you? What made you stretch creatively? We hope you share your experience with others and come back for more!
Steven Leath President Iowa State University
Tammy Koolbeck Executive Director Iowa State Center

Educational Experiences for Youth Youth Matinee Series Parents and educators know that helping a student develop creativity and imagination is one of the most important things they can do. Helping to complete the education formula, our Youth Matinee Series energizes, engages and enhances the overall learning process for students through the magic and wonder of live performing arts produced by professional touring artists.These performances enrich students’ lives and illustrate the dynamic relationship between literature, social studies, history, science, math, world cultures and the performing arts. The Youth Matinee Series is underwritten by the Martha-Ellen Tye Performing Arts Institute endowment.
Martha-Ellen Tye Performing Arts Institute The Martha-Ellen Tye Performing Arts Institute was established through a generous endowment by long-time Marshalltown resident, the late Martha-Ellen Tye. It brings a unique blend of arts experiences to students of all ages through matinee performances, teaching activities in schools, demonstrations and workshops. Now in its 16th year, the program has served more than 200,000 students in grades PreK-12 from across the state of Iowa. Mrs. Tye believed strongly in the power and importance of arts education and vigorously supported programs that develop the “whole person — body, mind and spirit.” The Youth Matinee Series is underwritten by this endowment, which allows us to keep the price at $4.
To learn more about these performances, contact Sara Compton, Outreach Coordinator, at 515-294-7389, e-mail scompton@iastate.edu, or visit www.center.iastate.edu.
