The concert is being presented in New Hope as part of the Bucks County Playhouse Visiting Artist Series. Starring and created by Osnes, "The Broadway Princess Party Concert" will feature Osnes alongside two other Broadway royals, Catherine Charlebois ("Wicked," "Beauty and the Beast") and Catherine Ricafort ("Miss Saigon," "Cinderella," BCP's "The Rocky Horror Show") in a musical evening that first debuted at Feinstein's at 54 Below and has since travelled to the West Coast. Along with her Music Director Benjamin Rauhala, this trio will create a dazzling evening of musical magic. The all-star cast will sing the most beloved princess songs of stage and screen, reminiscing about their favorite fairytales and most cherished characters. Some the beloved songs include "When You Wish Upon A Star" (Leigh Harline, Ned Washington), "A Whole New World" (Alan Menken, Tim Rice), "Colors of the Wind" (Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz), "For The First Time In Forever" (Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez) and many others. Osnes describes the concert as enchanting noting, "Where else might a little mermaid get to duet with a beautiful bookworm? Or might an ice queen drink tea alongside a princess with a lost glass slipper? Get your ball gown out of the closet and dust off that tiara for The Broadway Princess Party Concert.

Introduction The City of Evansville, Indiana is pleased to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Project goals outlined in the plan were determined through citizens' participation at three public meetings where participants discussed community development and housing needs, including the completion of a survey. Due to COVID-19 and the suspension of public contact the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was displayed on the City of Evansville website. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) prepared by Prosperity Indiana provided a summary of the existing fair housing condition in Evansville, with five-year remediation goals. A marketing plan of the public service area, Evansville, prepared by Bowens National Research provided housing data on the existing PSA and five submarkets; Central Area, Near East, East, North, and West, including three submarkets of the Central Area; Arts District, Downtown District, and Jacobsville District. Through the use of these tools Evansville will be able to carry out reasonable community and housing goals with positive outcomes. Evansville Indiana, established in 1812, today is the third-largest city in the state of Indiana with an estimated population of 117,429. Situated along the scenic Ohio River, Evansville is centrally located providing highway access to and from major cities; Indianapolis, Indiana is 170 miles north via Interstate 69, Louisville, Kentucky is 120 miles east via Interstate 64, St.

  • Fall 2017 (PDF)
    DEPARTMENT Fall 2017 Vol. 1 MUSIC MAGAZINEof From the Chair It’s no exaggeration for me to say that it has been an exciting year for the Department of Music. Performances by musical and cultural icons, teaching and student awards, and events that engage with our com- munity are just a few of the oppor- tunities that our students experienced in the course of this academic year. Among the many accomplishments and activities you will discover in the following pages, I’m pleased to share news that the Depart- ment of Music received word of its re-accreditation with the National Association of Schools of Music in July. UE is among only 20 percent of institutions accepted by NASM’s highly selective accreditation process. Our membership represents an endorse- ment of the quality of programs and degrees available in our department. Our accreditation is the culmination of a multi-year process and the work of numerous members of our faculty and staff. Many thanks for their efforts! One outgrowth of our accreditation process has been departmental strategic planning, about which you can find more details on the following page. Needless to say, the engagement of our friends, students, alumni, faculty, and administrators in this process has been both an energizing experience, and a source of great ideas that will guide many of our efforts in the coming years. Wylie Wins Teaching Award Another result has been the decision to make the historic Victory Mary Ellen Wylie, professor of music therapy, was named Theatre the home for many of our large ensemble concerts.
