(TO SEASON SHOWS)
Our staff is an educational resource for students university-wide. This year we assisted Arts Administration master’s students in promoting the Singing Hoosiers Spring Concert, worked alongside Zeta Tau Alpha to present Big Man On Campus, advised the Asian Student Association for Taste of Asia, and mentored students from Union Board as they marketed and presented multiple Union Board lectures and the Little 500 concert (which sold over 3,000 student tickets).
Laid end to end, that’s more than enough to draw a line from Memorial Stadium to our front steps!
RPS VIP This new program gave special perks to IU students from Residential Programs and Services for each season performance—including chances to win tickets, meet the artists, get promotional merchandise and free concessions, access exclusive behind-the-scenes content, receive backstage passes, and more.
Artist Engagement Events This season offered a variety of cast interaction and educational opportunities in which our student patrons could take part—for which we had over 600 participants across all events! Among these participants are Wells Scholars, students and faculty from the Jacobs School of Music, the Department of Theatre and Drama, the IU Contemporary Dance Program, as well as many others.
