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, pictured above speaking to the Celebrity Cafe audience, returns to Ames in the 2009-2010 Peroforming Arts Series as Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz.

This will be Stewart's third visit to Stephens Auditorium as part of a touring company.
She played Vicki Nichols in the The Full Monty
(2005-2006 series), and was part of the
Hairspray cast (2007-2008 series).
