Subscription renewals for current season ticket holders began May 10. Subscriptions will go on sale to the general public Tuesday, July 5. Single tickets will go on sale to the general public Monday, Aug. 15. Patrons who have purchased a series subscription may purchase individual tickets during subscriber courtesy week, Aug. 8-12.

This year patrons may once again subscribe to their choice of the Night Out Series, Broadway Series or the Nostalgia Series.  They may also subscribe to the Distinguished Lectures Series or the Performing Arts Package, which combines the 15 events in the Night Out, Broadway and Nostalgia series.

“Dividing the season into four series allows us to offer packages that are affordable and that meet everyone’s needs,” said Catherine Marhenke, director of marketing and development for the College of Fine Arts and Communication and UCA Public Appearances. “By purchasing subscriptions to one or more series, you’re going to be able to experience the art that interests you most.

“I think this is an amazing lineup with a wide array of guest artists. Where else in Arkansas can you see the Munich Symphony Orchestra, the Broadway tour of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and James Carville all in one month?  The 2011-2012 season is going to be very exciting and diverse.”

UCA Public Appearances launched a newly re-designed website on May 10 at www.uca.edu/reynolds. The site includes details about all the upcoming performances as well as information about Reynolds Performance Hall.
