2014-15 CoMMuniTy Ar TS SerieS
The 62nd season of Hanover’s Community Arts Series (CAS) offers a wide variety of great entertainment and culture right in your own backyard.
We begin with the return of the always popular improv troupe, The Second City, bringing their world-renown satirical sketch and comedy revues. For opera lovers, the Kentucky Opera will perform highlights from “La Traviata.”
Shanren, a folk-fusion band from southwest China, offers original compositions and traditional songs. We’ll kick off 2015 with Michael Cooper: Masked Marvels and Wondertales, who combines handcrafted masks, original stories and outlandish stilt dancing.
Indiana University’s men’s a cappella pop ensemble, Another Round, will have toes tapping. Paulo Padilha and Group will bring the rhythm and swing of urban Brazil.
We end the season with our annual event, The President Honors the Arts, where Hanover’s talented student performers create an exciting evening that is free to the public.
I encourage you to take advantage of these wonderful cultural and entertaining events!
Sue DeWine President, Hanover College
Welcome, Community Friends!
It is River Valley Financial Bank’s pleasure to again partner with Hanover College for another spectacular season of the Community Arts Series.
Hanover College is one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the nation; unmatched in the beauty of the campus, and unsurpassed in its commitment to educating future generations of bright, energetic and aspiring youth.
This is also River Valley Financial Bank’s home, and home to our employees and customers. We, too, are passionate about sustaining our leadership role in developing and assisting our hometown to reach even greater potential. Community-based arts and entertainment programs in music, theater, the visual arts and the world of books add immeasurably to the quality of life in a community. The many fine programs that we have in Madison and Jefferson County today owe their success in large measure to what the Hanover College Community Arts Series started over 60 years and continues to this day.
On behalf of both institutions, I want to welcome you personally and hope you will join me at the show!
Sincerely,
Matthew P. Forrester President, CEO

Jo H n W. Dean
with James David Robenalt: Watergate, Vietnam and the Nixon Defense
Wed., oct. 1, 2014
7 p.m.
Fitzgibbon Recital Hall
Lynn Center for Fine Arts
John Dean was President Nixon’s White House Counsel in 1972 when the Watergatebreakin occurred. He and lawyer-historian James David Robenalt have teamed up to present Watergate programs across the country on the legacy of Watergate. They will talk about the Wtaergate cover-up and its relationship to the conclusion of the Vietnam War.
Dean will also discuss his newest book, “The Nixon Defense: What He Knew and When He Knew It.” Dean is a best-selling authorof books including “Blind Ambition,” “Conservatives Without Conscience” and “Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush,” among others.
“The Nixon Defense” draws on Dean’s own transcripts of almost 1,000 conversations, Nixon’s secretly recorded information and more than 150,000 pages of documents in the National Archives and the Nixon Library. Based on Nixon’s overlooked recordings, Dean dispels the myths about Watergate to reveal a full account of the late president’s involvement.
Tickets for this event are free, but reservations are highly recommended. To save your space, go to: hanover.edu/dean
