Welcome to the Kean Stage 2011-2012 Season. World-Class performances in five different venues all across campus await you.
The Wilkins Theatre season opens with this year's GRAMMY® Award Winner for "Best New Artist", Esperanza Spalding followed by the
explosive Taiko drumming of TAO and Compañia Flamenca Jose Porcel's dazzling Gypsy Fire. The Concert Artist Series in its 12th season
will feature world-renowned faculty musicians performing chamber music in Enlow Hall and Kean Hall.
Dance enthusiasts will enjoy the awesome acrobatics and saber work of the Lezginka Dance Company direct from Russia, Dance Theatre
of Harlem's unique approach to ballet, and ballet classics like The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet and Giselle.
Highlights of Enlow Hall's upcoming season include Jane Krakowski, The 5 Browns, the Branford Marsalis Quartet and American soprano
and opera diva Christine Brewer. The season also features A Special Event Concert: An Evening with John Legend. Nine-time Grammy Award
Winning singer/songwriter and humanitarian John Legend delivers an evening of performance and storytelling in the intimate Enlow Hall
that will leave you inspired.
A new addition to this year's program is our International Film Series featuring award-winning modern foreign cinema on Sunday afternoons
in the Jules Irving Schwartz Lecture Hall in the new STEM building.
The Kean Theatre Series will present students performing The Odyssey, Lynn Nottage's Intimate Apparel and the Tony® Award winning musical
Spring Awakening. The Kean University Dance Ensemble (KUDE) will showcase students in diverse and high-spirited works choreographed by faculty,
