This landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality, and rock and roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years.

Producers Ira Pittelman and Tom Hulce said, “When we decided to bring this show to Broadway, we knew that the issues explored in Frank Wedekind’s 1891 banned play were still relevant today. The show has become a cross-generational phenomenon that continues to transcend age and cultural barriers. We hope that you will find Spring Awakening not only entertaining, but thought provoking and insightful into those teenage issues experienced in every century, the world over.”

Comedians, commentators, and fans love Lewis Black because of his insights and love/hate relationship with America—which are brilliantly expressed in his concerts and TV appearances worldwide.

The First Commonwealth Lecture Series and Ideas and Issues will present Pulitzer Prize-winning author and investigative reporter Bob Woodward on November 4, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. in Fisher Auditorium at IUP’s Performing Arts Center.

Woodward is an assistant managing editor of the Washington Post, where he has worked since 1971. He has won nearly every American journalism award, including a Pulitzer for his report on the Watergate scandal. He earned a second Pulitzer as lead reporter for the team that reported on the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Woodward has coauthored or authored more number-one national best-selling nonfiction books than any contemporary American writer. They include All the President’s Men and The Final Days, coauthored with Carl Bernstein; The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court, coauthored with Scott Armstrong; Wired: The Short Life and Fast Times of John Belushi, Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981–1987, The Commanders, The Agenda: Inside the Clinton White House, Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate, Bush at War, and Plan of Attack.

The topic of Mr. Woodward's lecture is “What Can President Obama Learn from Presidents Past?” There will be a question and answer session and after the lecture, and there will be a book signing in Fisher’s mezzanine.

This First Commonwealth Lecture Series, in conjunction with the Ideas and Issues series, will be offered November 4, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. in Fisher Auditorium at IUP’s Performing Arts Center.

OnStage presents The Clarks, one of Pittsburgh's favorite bands, playing at IUP Performing Arts Center's Fisher Auditorium on Saturday October 17, 2009, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 or $100 ($100 tickets include VIP seating and a private party with the Clarks after the show.)

The Clarks are an American rock band that have somehow managed to stay together for over twenty years, support themselves through their music, and remain relative unknowns. Much in the way that Bob Seger was a Detroit-area favorite for over a decade before exploding on the national scene with his Night Moves album, The Clarks, though musically worlds apart, have been superstars in and around their hometown of Pittsburgh, succeeding in Pennsylvania as the national stage awaits them. Now, with the straight-ahead, guitar-driven rock of their album Restless Days, The Clarks are poised to make the same kind of mainstream crossover that Seger experienced in 1976. In fact, perhaps not since Seger has there been an act that’s received such extraordinary notoriety year after year in their hometown while remaining under the radar for the rest of America. But The Clarks have a sound that’s bigger than one town. From the scorching guitars of “Trampoline” to the storytelling of “Midnight Rose,” the new songs deliver a real rock band playing real instruments. Add in overlapping vocals, driving percussion, and great hooks, and you’ve got a cohesive collection of muscular music from a seasoned band that knows their trade. If Green Day played songs written by Paul McCartney, the result might sound a bit like Restless Days.

This new album, The Clarks’ first studio CD in five years, features twelve tracks in all—eleven original songs by The Clarks, plus a rollicking cover of “Wonderful World,” which was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Penguins and used as part of their 2008–2009 season marketing campaign.

With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late ’70s. McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth soft rock, a sound that made him a star. He initially essayed his signature style with the Doobie Brothers, ushering in the group’s most popular period with hits like “What a Fool Believes” (which won three Grammys), “Minute By Minute,” and “Taking It to the Streets.”
