Eastern Standard: Encore by EKU Center's Aalberts

Lexington Herald Leader

This week's show features an "encore presentation" of our show from last spring with Joel Aalberts, Director of the Eastern Kentucky University Center for the Arts.  The 2014-15 schedule of concerts and other performances will be the first he has put together for the center which opened in 2011.

The lineup includes concerts by country stars Lyle Lovett, Rosanne Cash and Josh Turner, Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald and An Evening with Garrison Keillor. Also on tap are productions of “Million Dollar Quartet” and “Anything Goes” and performances by The Second City, Chicago’s sketch comedy theatre troupe that helped launch the careers of John Belushi, Steve Carrell, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert.

We're interested in hearing from you about your experience and expectations of the EKU Center for Arts, including your questions, comments and personal stories.  Send them by email to: wekueasternstandard@gmail.com, post them on Facebook, send a tweet to @wekuest or call in during the show at 800-621-8890.
