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… Event Name: Meredith Willson’s THE MUSIC MAN. Organization: UP - Center - A&A - CPA.

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.

Penn State Opera: "Non più nascoste"

School of Music   Step into the candlelit world of Venice, 1709, where music floated from behind gilded screens and extraordinary young women played for the most celebrated audiences in Europe — yet were never seen. Penn State Opera's Non più nascoste ("Hidden No More") is a fully staged Baroque pastiche opera that pulls back the curtain on this stunning, secret world, following Gianna, a young musician studying under the legendary Antonio Vivaldi, as she fights to find her voice — artistically and personally. Born from a yearlong scholarly adventure that took Penn State graduate students to Venice itself to study in the very halls where this music once lived, the production weaves together ravishing Baroque music, original storytelling, and the talents of over 50 students from music, theatre, and art history into one unforgettable evening. With costuming, a lobby art exhibition, and a pre-show immersion beginning at 7:00 p.m. this isn't just a performance — it's a portal. April 13 & 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall. … .

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.

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.

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.
