The national touring, hit musical revue, The Water Coolers, will kick off the 59th Community Arts Series season opener. A laugh-out-loud musical comedy, the troupe presents a satire about life in an office and the things we share around the water coolers of American everyday life - work, kids, husbands and wives, getting ahead, falling behind - and trying to balance it all. With original songs, sketch comedy and pop parodies, you're sure to enjoy this comedic take on the workaday world of the American office! (A clean show, suitable for the whole family!)
Brought to you in part by Chandler Chevrolet.

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.
A free young people's daytime performance by Todd Green will be offered to Madison and Jefferson County schools, made possible by the support of Arvin Sango.

The Starling Ensemble combines the unique talents of two of North America's finest chamber music instrumentalists with a group of world-class students from the renowned Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Co-directed by Professor of Violin Alexander Kerr and Eric Kim, professor of cello, they perform works from the great classics of the chamber music repertoire. Students come from both graduate and undergraduate ranks. Since its formation in 2009, the Starling Players have performed widely, including engagements and concert series in Indiana and Florida, as well as on the IU campus.
CAS audiences will remember with pleasure another fine ensemble from the IU School of Music, Violin Virtuosi, presented as part of our 2009-10 series. The Starling Ensemble will take your enjoyment of chamber music to a whole new level!

Paint your palette blue and gray...
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream...
What happens when you travel the world only to see what you've missed? After a lifetime of wandering, artist Emile Bernard is planning one last trip. As he prepares, he recalls his friendship with Vincent van Gogh, he looks down the roads not taken and he finally hears what Vincent was trying to say.
Jim Stark stars in the one-man show, “Seeing Red,” a drama built on the life of painter Vincent Van Gogh, written by David J. Loehr. This production traveled to the South Carolina Repertory Company on Hilton Head Island in April 2010.
