Welcome to a new year in the arts at North Central College. We are truly excited that you are joining us! If this is your first visit, please do not make it your last. If you are one of our ever-growing number of returning clients, thank you for all you do for us. Your loyalty is a great present to all of us in the arts at North Central. There could be no better time to celebrate the arts in this vibrant community. North Central College’s 150th birthday celebration continues with some of the finest artists performing right here in downtown Naperville. When you combine spectacular facilities with free parking and over 100 restaurants, you get world class entertainment. But don’t keep us a secret! Let all of your friends know about this gem you’ve found right in your back yard. Speaking of friends, there is a way you can help us continue to bring you some of the finest artists to Naperville. Our Friends of the Arts program is an important group of supporters who understand that ticket sales only cover a portion of the expenses incurred to bring terrific artists to North Central College. To give you an example, in our recent sold-out performances of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, in addition to the artists fees, we provided all the theatrical magic plus the pampering that our artists deserve. It’s what we do with the greatest production team anyone in the fine arts can hope to work with. In order to keep our prices as low as they are, we need the generous support of you, our loyal patrons. Your tax deductible gift will bring so much to so many. Please call the box office for further information on Friends of the Arts and the great benefits you will receive by joining the club! Now, on with the show! Thanks for listening. . . .er . . . reading. I get the privilege of bringing the finest artists in the business to North Central College, Naperville, and the greater DuPage county area. Thank you for being here. We do appreciate your business. We also love to listen, so if there is something you feel we should do differently, if there is someone you want us to bring next season, or if you just want to chat, we are here for you. And now sit back, relax, and enjoy a great performance in the arts in the greatest venues around. Brian Lynch Fine Arts Director North Central College North Central College 1
