Grammy Award Winner
LeAnn Rimes
October 11, 2012
Orr Auditorium • 7:30 p.m.
LeAnn Rimes scored her first national hit, “Blue,” in 1998 at the age of 13 becoming
the youngest person ever to win a Grammy and the first country recording artist to
win the “Best New Artist” category. LeAnn has won two Grammy Awards, three
Academy of Country Music Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards and has sold over
37 million albums. Now in the prime of her career, this multi-award winner will bring
her all-acoustic show to Orr Auditorium, to showcase her rich vocals, her songwriting
ability, and to perform the favorites we all know: “How Do I Live (Without You)”
which is the second-longest charting single ever on the Billboard Hot 100 chart,
“Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” which went #1 in 11 countries, and “Til We Ain’t
Strangers Anymore” (originally recorded with Jon Bon Jovi).

Straight No Chaser

Orr Auditorium • 7:30 p.m.

500,000 Albums Sold
100s of SOLD OUT Concerts
10 Incredible Voices
If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers,
ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses…think again.
Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced. They are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape. Originally formed over a
dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon – with a massive fan base, over 35 million
views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances, and proven success with two
holiday releases. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal – the captivating sound of
ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is
moving people in a fundamental sense…and with a sense of humor.

The National Touring Production of Charles Dickens Family Holiday Classic!
A Christmas Carol
December 14, 2012
Orr Auditorium • 7:30 p.m.
Nebraska Theatre Caravan’s A Christmas Carol returns to the
Orr stage in honor of the 200th Birthday of Charles Dickens
When Dickens wrote his “ghostly little tale” in 1843, he couldn’t know that A Christmas
Carol was destined to become one of the most beloved holiday traditions of all time.
The NTC production is probably the most widely produced production of Dickens in
the nation, annually performing for more than 100,000 people in more than 60 cities
across the country. Twenty-eight performers bring Dickens’ fable of redemption to life
as the staging evokes a three-dimensional Victorian Christmas card that literally leaps
to life as the setting for one of the most powerful stories of kindness, redemption and
the healing powers of the holiday spirit. A full array of traditional Christmas carols is
woven into the classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge.

“When a child loves you for a long, long time...then you become Real.” So says the
Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams’ famous and much-loved literary
classic. A plush rabbit, given as a gift to a young boy, yearns for the day the boy will
choose him as his special playmate, so that he can become real. This innovative
production combines the theatrical magic and signature style of Enchantment Theatre
with the musical magic of Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning composer/
arranger Don Sebesky. With an original musical score, life-sized puppets, masks and
magic, Enchantment Theatre Company brings to life this charming tale of love and
devotion, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience for the whole family.
