Keystone Repertory Theater (KRT), IUP’s summer Theater-by-the-Grove, will offer a charmingly quirky summer season this year. The line up will include three musicals and one play starting Saturday, May 18, 2012. These student-directed productions will be held in Waller Hall on both the Mainstage and Studio theaters of IUP’s Performing Arts Center.

While Bernadette Peters was in Indiana for her Fisher Auditorium peformance, she autographed two of her children’s books. One of each title was presented on May 7, 2012, to two local animal shelters: the Indiana County Humane Society and Four Footed Friends, by Florence Lattimer Helwig of Indiana.

Bernadette Peters, performing at IUP on May 4, 2012, has been chosen to receive the Isabelle Stevenson Award during the upcoming Tony Award celebration.

For the upcoming concert by Broadway legend, actress, and singer Bernadette Peters, the Lively Arts at IUP will provide 28 musicians that will perform with the two-time Tony Award winner.

A ticket to a Peters concert can easily reach over $50 per ticket. However, with support of the Student Cooperative Association and a variety of sponsors and donors, IUP students will only need to pay between $15 and $18 a seat.
