Ever looking for something fun to do on a weekend? Ever find yourself humming a chorus from a recent Broadway release or reciting monologues from your favorite shows? Running low on dough? The Maine Center for the Arts, Maine’s premier spot for the performing arts, is offering students a way to satisfy their craving for live entertainment on the cheap – free, actually.
All students at the University of Maine registered for six or more credit hours are entitled to two free tickets per semester to any show of their choice. During the 2005-2006 season students can choose from a plethora of shows ranging from jazz guru Chris Botti to brass virtuoso’s the Canadian Brass. Don’t like classical music? Check out the Beach Boys Christmas show, or folk great Arlo Guthrie. The MCA offers something for everyone, regardless of taste.
Tickets to each of the shows are available now, but good seats are fading fast! Students can claim their tickets by visiting the Maine Center for the Arts box office Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. or the Student Services Center located in the Memorial Union.
UMaine students can view the full MCA schedule on their Web site. Students should note, however, that their complimentary tickets cannot be used for the upcoming Bill Cosby Gala on Sept. 24, or the Better Than Ezra show on Oct. 2. Special student rates are available for these shows.
