Big Names Top Cowan Center Season

TYLER — “It’s All Here.” That’s the theme of UT Tyler’s 2010-2011 Cowan Center season, with an October 19 appearance by former President George W. Bush among the highlights. That and other presentations are co-sponsored by KTBB. Cowan Center Executive Director Susan Thomae-Morphew is very pleased with the variety. Gladys Knight, Howie Mandel, and touring companies of “Mamma Mia” and “The Color Purple” are just a few of the others on the schedule. Thomae-Morphew thanks all the supporters, saying, “We are not getting any state funding to do the Cowan Center’s work, and it’s important to note that the community makes this happen.” Subscriptions are available starting at 9 a.m. Monday.
