Celebrity Cafe Presentations

Come early to each Performing Arts Series at Stephens Auditorium event for the Celebrity Café Presentation where you will learn more about a featured artist(s), dance style, composer, or engage in a fun family craft activity. 

The Celebrity Café is located in the ground floor lobby, accessible on the north side of Stephens Auditorium.

These presentations are free for event ticket holders and usually begin a half hour before curtain time.

 

Iowa native Kristin Stewart, who played Vicki Nichols in the The Full Monty (part of the 2005-2006 Season at Stephens), speaks to the Celebrity Cafe audience.

Ms. Stewart returned to Ames in the 2007-2008 Performing Arts Series as part of the Hairspray cast
