Steven Wright
Stand-Up Comedy
Friday, October 14, 2011
Laxson Auditorium
$35 Premium | $30 Adult | $28 Senior | $23 Student/Child
 Steven Wright, known for his surrealistic, absurd, and observation al humor, is also an Academy Award-winner and two-time Gram my-nominated comic, actor, and entertainer. Wright's humor is always delivered with the deadpan expression and flat monotone that has made him famous over decades. Wright's comedy is a steady stream of consciousness, observations on the bewilderment at the oddities of everyday life and the quirks of human nature.

k.d. lang & The Siss Boom Bang
Singer/Songwriter
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Laxson Auditorium
$60 Premium | $55 Adult | $53 Senior | $40 Student/Child
It seems inevitable that k.d. lang - a  Patsy Cline devotee - would record Sing It Loud, a Nashville produced blend of tasteful country pluck and twang. Lang's fall tour highlights this new album, and with the band The Siss Boom Bang, lang ruminates on romantic regret in the Roy Orbison-esque "I Confess," hits some vocal highs in "Sugar Buzz," and makes Talking Heads' "Heaven" sound even more, well, heavenly.

$25 Premium | $20 Adult | $18 Senior | $12 Student/Child
Planet Money keeps its hand on the pulse of the economy, in an economic climate that changes minute by minute. Using terms that the everyday Joe can understand, the LIBOR and TED spread are metaphorically explained as carnival games and pizza. Whatever is happening out there - the price of commercial paper, the U.S.'s falling housing market or the decreasing availability of sawdust for composting toilets-Planet Money's Alex Blumberg and Adam Davidson always say what is on their minds, in a way that is both entertaining and accessible.
