The Joyfull: Fanoos Ensemble Edition
Center for Performing Arts
Food is much more than what sits on our plates. Food intersects with nearly every aspect of our lives—from the communities and cultures we come from to issues of climate, food security, and our personal relationships with food.
Just like food, art comes from many forms, cultural backgrounds, and histories. At each Joyfull, we welcome all to come and enjoy a meal, live performance, and conversation.
When our bodies are hungry, we need to eat. But when our souls are hungry, we crave a different kind of nourishment. Join us for evenings of joyful expression, where we forge connections and leave with full bellies and full hearts. Feed your soul; savor the culture.
The menu will be catered by Kabul Plate. The program will feature a presentation about Nowruz by Storai Jalali at 6:45 p.m. and a short performance by Fanoos Ensemble at 7:30 p.m.
Free sustainable utensil sets will be given to first-time attendees while supplies last. Help us reduce waste by bringing them with you to use at each Joyfull. …

The program includes folk songs, traditional ghazals based on the poetry of Rumi and others, and popular songs from the legendary midcentury-era Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir.
The Joyfull program will feature a presentation about Nowruz (“new day,” the Persian spring equinox festival) by Storai Jalali. The menu will be catered by Kabul Plate.

Decoda Featuring special guest Ringdown
Center for Performing Arts
Praised by The New York Times as “refreshing in the extreme,” the chamber music collective Decoda, the affiliate ensemble of Carnegie Hall, creates a more connected and compassionate world through music—offering artfully scripted performances, leading inventive community projects, and training the next generation of artists to rethink and reimagine their role in society.
Decoda’s musicians are equally devoted to virtuosic performance and meaningful audience engagement. Decoda makes its Penn State debut with special guests Ringdown, the cinematic electro-pop duo featuring composers and vocalists Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpan—an “ecstatically blissful” (Night After Night) and “irresistible” (Feast of Music) pair creating music that floats up from the dusty record bin between Brahms and Brandi Carlile, and centers around joy, human connection, and trying to inspire people to feel more love.
The program, “Reverberations,” explores the profound relationship between inspiration and imagination, revealing…

Meredith Willson’s THE MUSIC MAN
Center for Performing Arts
There’s trouble in River City when a fast-talking salesman gets his heart stolen by the town librarian.
Meredith Willson’s six-time Tony Award-winning musical comedy THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa. The smooth-talker tricks people into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize—despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
This new production will be helmed by veteran director Matt Lenz (Hairspray, The Sound of Music). Joshua Bergasse (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, NBC’s Smash), Emmy Award winner, Tony Award nominee, and critically acclaimed choreographer, will create all new dances for the citizens of River City.
Featuring songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Trouble,” “’Til There Was You,” “Pickalittle,” and…

Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
Center for Performing Arts
They play ukuleles, they sing, they say funny things, and they whistle. But the musicians of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain bring a lot more to the table than a salute to their genre-bending covers of well-known songs. The seven-member ensemble will return Stateside to tour in celebration of its fortieth anniversary.
Since its founding in 1985 by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux, the ensemble has been known as a quintessential British musical performance. The self-described “much-loved national institution” gives vibes of all-around good humor, light-heartedness, well-being, and joy with an engaging and energetic performance.
Only the seven artists, their voices, and their ukuleles lead an evening of light antics and technically superior playing skills to their versions of popular hits spanning the 1960s through the twentieth century. The ensemble’s discography includes versions of Broadway show tunes, and songs by Eurythmics, ZZ Top, Nirvana, Lady Gaga, The Muppet Show, Paul Simon, and more.

Detroit '67
School of Theatre
DETROIT ’67,
By Dominique Morisseau,
Directed by Marcus Jordan,
An uprising is brewing in the Heart of Motown.
The year that changed everything for a family and a city, 1967. The world is shifting for two siblings running an after-hours joint to make ends meet. Tensions mount when dreams diverge, their tight-knit community is threatened by an outsider and the streets erupt in violence in this riveting new play set to a driving Motown beat. PG 14,
Winner of the Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama, this thought-provoking, resonant play sizzles to the soundtrack of the 1960s.
In 1967 Detroit, Motown has hit its groove and the Poindexter siblings, Chelle and Lank, make ends meet by hosting parties in their basement. However, Lank and his friend Sly have dreams beyond the cellar shindigs—despite Chelle’s resistance. When Lank then brings home a mysterious white woman, the family’s simmering disagreements explode—as their streets erupt in riots—and life becomes a lot more dangerous.

Art After Hours: Rhythms + Rhymes
School of Music
RESONANCE: AN EVENING OF SOUND, WORD, AND IMAGE will be a uniquely intimate and immersive performance in the evocative setting of the Palmer's Ned A. Brokloff Gallery of postwar modern art. Penn State's brand new Contemporary Music Ensemble joins forces with students in Advanced Poetry Writing to create an interdisciplinary exploration of sound, word, and image. The poems of Emily Dickinson, Rumi, and Federico Garcia Lorca, letters from Attica prison, and the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky all intertwine with the beautiful and captivating sounds of composers Toru Takemitsu, George Crumb, Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, Leilehua Lanzilotti and Frederic Rzewski. The student poets will offer their own ekphrastic responses to artwork in the gallery space and to the music itself. Join us for a rare convergence of art forms and student creativity that transforms the gallery into a living performance space.
