Morgan James Friday, October 5 Dustbowl Revival Friday, November 2 At the Stroke of Midnight Saturday, November 24 VoicePlay Friday, December 7 Sister’s Christmas Catechism Saturday, December 15 Volume 9 Issue 1 | CityOperaHouse.org WELCOME Thank you for coming tonight! As I write this 2018-19 performing arts season welcome, I find myself reflecting fondly over the last nine years and excited by what is ahead. In January 2010, MSU’s Wharton Center for Performing Arts entered into a management agreement with the City Opera House Heritage Association. With this agreement, I began to live two lives - simultaneously serving as the G.M. of Wharton Center and as Managing Director of COH. Every time I left our Torch Lake home, I’d leave my heart here. In 2015 I retired from Wharton, moved into our Torch lake home permanently and stepped into the COH Executive Director role full time. I have not looked back! The work we do daily at City Opera House is impactful. We’ve built two world class performing arts series. We work diligently to bring diverse national and regional performing arts to you. Beyond presenting, we host public and private events year-round and provide arts education through several programs. 60,000 patrons visit City Opera House driving an estimated $2.2 million into the local economy annually. We have also added amenities to serve both the public and artists and continue to receive positive comments on those additions. A large part of my role has become fundraising. 40 percent of our budget is supported by ticket sales from shows like the one you are attending tonight. The rest has to come from donations, grants and gifts. Join in supporting what you love. Consider a donation. Become a volunteer. Learn more about this treasure and how you can be a part. I am proud of the vibrancy of the arts we provide and continuing the history of this iconic place. I’m proud to serve the region through the arts and part of the economic engine in this area. Most of all, I’m proud to share it with you. Thank you and have an amazing arts filled year. Diane J.
