HANOVER COLLEGE PRESENTS

Welcome to Another Season of the Arts @ Hanover College

Hanover College & River Valley Financial Bank present the Hanover College & River Valley Financial Bank present the

2011-12 2011-12Community CommunityArts ArtsSeries Series

Hanover College is proud to offer another season of outstanding cultural arts events to the Madison/Hanover community and surrounding region. This will be the 59th continuous season in which Hanover College’s Community Arts Series (CAS) has brought nationally and internationally renowned performing artists and guest speakers to our campus to entertain and enrich the cultural life of southeastern Indiana. The 2011-2012 year promises to continue this historical and rich tradition, and we deeply appreciate the supporting sponsorship of River Valley Financial Bank, the college’s presenting partner in this year’s Community Arts Series.

Our upcoming 2011-12 season leads off on Homecoming Weekend with the national touring, hit musical revue, “The Water Coolers,” a musical comedy satire about life in an office and the things we share around the water coolers. Other CAS offerings this year will include the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, and a one-man play built on the life of Vince Van Gogh, performed by our own theater professor and equity actor, Jim Stark.

This season also features two free Young People’s Concerts for area school groups, made possible by generous local underwriting from Arvin Sango, Grote Industries, Inc., Chandler Chevrolet.

In February we will host Garrison Keillor, host of “A Prairie Home Companion” and best-selling author. Get your tickets early for this one!

The Hanover Theatre productions, along with our vocal and instrumental concerts and recitals, showcase some of the best young performance talent in the country! Meanwhile, the Greiner Art Gallery sponsors exhibits from nationally and locally known artists, as well as our own faculty and students.

Mark your colander for one of my favorite evenings, “The President Honors the Arts,” April 7, a celebration of some of our finest student creative talent of the past year. It is an evening of sheer delight! “Bravo!” is a gala reception that precedes the performance to honor and thank our donors to the arts at Hanover College. I hope you will be among them this year, and that I will have the opportunity to thank you personally for your support.

Please look through this brochure and mark the outstanding events that you, your family and your friends would like to attend. I know you will find plenty for all to enjoy, as the curtain rises once again on the beautiful Hanover College campus!

Welcome Community Friends!

It is River Valley Financial Bank’s pleasure to assist in bringing Hanover College’s Community Arts Series to you.

We are so blessed to be home to one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the nation; unmatched in geographical beauty, unsurpassed in its commitment to educating future generations of bright, energetic and aspiring youth.

This is also River Valley Financial Bank’s home, and just like the college, we are passionate about our leadership role in sustaining, developing and assisting our hometown to reach even greater potential. River Valley is proud that we can partner with Hanover College to bring to you some of the finest offerings available in arts and entertainment in the coming year.

On behalf of both institutions, I want to personally welcome you. Enjoy the show!

Starling Ensemble

from the IU School of Music

JanUary 20 | 7:30 C E N T E R For FINE ARTS

Note: All CAS performances are subject to change, in the event of circumstances beyond our control.

Todd Green is a solo musician who specializes in traditional music from around the world. He plays 30 authentic global instruments, as well as his own music on the guitar, an eclectic blend of classical, jazz, new age and world music. Green uses digital samplers to record and overdub himself live on stage, in

effect becoming a one-man-combo of unique and exotic instruments from all over the world. As he takes his audience on a fascinating tour of many countries and their diverse styles of music, Green intersperses his playing with entertaining and informative explanations of the music and the instruments.

The Starling Ensemble combines the unique talents of two of North America’s finest chamber music instrumentalists with a group of worldclass students from the renowned Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. The ensemble, co-directed by professor of violin Alexander Kerr together with Eric Kim, professor of cello, performs works from the great classics of the chamber music repertoire. The students come from both graduate and undergraduate ranks. According to Kerr, they’re among the very best, chosen for being totally comfortable on their instruments so the players can

focus on artistic engagement. Since its formation in 2009, the Starling Ensemble has performed widely, including engagements and concert series in Indiana and Florida, as well as on the IU campus.

2 Plays from the Spanish Golden Age

CRYPTOS

THREE POETS

Vinegar Tom

Monster hunter Adric Ramses and his faithful assistant Wendy are searching Loch Ness when called upon to solve a darker mystery. Who is stealing the children of an isolated Iowa village? Adric has a foreboding: a creature known as the Wolf of Heaven. Intrigue, fantasy, poetry and humor intertwine in this fascinating new play by Hanover College senior, James Wylder.

Obsessed by writers, American playwright Romulus Linney (1930-2011) crafted plays about writers ranging from Lord Byron to Oscar Wilde in his energetic and fertile career.

“Three Poets” is a trio of plays, called by critic Mel Gussow, “small in scale, but rippling with poetic intensity.” Three women poets — Komachi in 9th-century Japan, Hrotsvitha in medieval Germany and Anna Akhmatova in Stalinist Russia — fight the conventions and powers of their times. The play is both funny and moving.

How can I destroy you by telling a lie? Feminist writer Caryl Churchill tells a shocking story of women accused of witchcraft in 17th century England and the male privilege that makes accusations deadly.

Her scenes of humor, brutality and violence are interspersed with songs in this unforgettable play by one of England’s greatest living playwrights.

In addition to violence, the play includes frank sexuality and is for adults only. Directed by guest artist and Professor Emeritus of Theatre Tom Evans.

Auditorium

by Miguel de Cervantes & Calderon de la Barca

directed by Paul Hildebrand The evening begins with a hilarious short comedy by the prolific and beloved author of Don Quixote. What will the good people see when the puppet show comes to their town — a world of wonders or only their own folly?

Calderon’s masterpiece was centuries ahead of its time.

This swashbuckling story of love, deception and revenge opened new worlds for theater to explore. Is your life really happening — or is it all only a dream? Or just a play on a stage? Hanover College Theatre presents this unforgettable play by the prodigious soldier, priest and playwright Calderon for the first time ever in a riveting contemporary adaptation.
