Dear Friends,

Its hard to believe that as we kickoff our 20112012 season in October, this season will be leading us down the path to major festivi

ties in September of 2012 when the City of Richardson will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Eisemann Centers opening. The

time has passed by quickly, but not without impressive growth in both the programs presented and in our audiences. The success of

the Eisemann Center is due primarily to you, our patrons, who have embraced not only the events presented by the Eisemann Center,

but those presented by our many client organizations. Yes, well have much to celebrate next September, but first, we have an outstand

ing lineup of attractions coming your way during the Eisemann Center Presents 20112012 Season. Its time to Get Ready for a Great

Time at the Eisemann Center!

Recognizing the diversity of artists and attractions weve grown to present each season, we have created a new program that will allow

you to have far more flexibility in ordering tickets to a wide range of cultural events. This MultiShow Discount Program will reward

you with savings based on the number of shows ordered, but more importantly, allows you to do this across the board as all shows

presented as part of our season are eligible. Yes, we still have our three well established subscription based series: Theatre Comedy

Series sponsored by ViewPoint Bank; our Family Theatre Series; and Jeffrey Siegels Keyboard Conversations. However, what was

previously referred to as the Spotlight Series has now been replaced by our MainStage Shows. These shows take place in our larger

Hill Performance Hall and feature a wide variety of programming types and styles dance, theatre, music, and comedy.

As you leaf through this brochure youll discover 26 exceptional shows with 66 performances, featuring mostly new artists and shows,

and the return of one of our most popular shows of the past BLAST!, which sold out weeks in advance in 2005, so this time weveadded a second performance. We are also pleased to continue our relationship and partnership with Jaston Williams and Joe Sears, cre

ators of Greater Tuna, by presenting the North Texas premiere of their newest show, I Heard That!, which will run for two weeks in the

intimacy of our Bank of America Theatre.

Of special note is the return ofA Ride with Bob: The Bob Wills Musical for five performances at the end of December. Following the

last performance on December 31st, well be hosting a New Years Eve party at the Renaissance Hotel with Ray Benson and the entire

cast of the show. In addition to food and dancing, we will be entertained by Asleep At The Wheel and The Quebe Sisters Band. Tickets

for this special night to herald in the New Year are available to all patrons who attend any of the five performances. We hope youll be

there with us for a champagne toast at midnight.

Information on all of this seasons shows will be found on the pages that follow. Subscription and multishow package orders may beprocessed now. Single show tickets go on sale August 8, 2011. Visit our website at www.eisemanncenter.com to access video clips for

all of these shows. We also encourage you to visit our Facebook page to get updates and new information as the season progresses.
