Dear FrienDs,It is our pleasure to announce the 2012-2013 Lied Center Season of performing arts. You will find a wide variety of programs providing great entertainment and artistic inspiration. Through the continuing generosity of our sponsors, the Lied Center has enriched the lives of the people of Nebraska by presenting the greatest artists in the world for over 20 years.

This year’s season features everything from one of the biggest rock & roll icons of all time to America’s premier ballet company. As a season subscriber, you can enjoy tickets to every show you wish. Do not delay making your choices; our most popular programs often sell out with season tickets each year. By ordering season tickets, you will also enjoy great savings, the best available seating locations and avoid waiting in ticket lines. If you find yourself unable to attend a show you purchased in advance, we will exchange your tickets at no charge for another performance of equal value in the season.

Beyond the stage, the Lied Center transforms the lives of thousands of young people each year with interactive arts education programs. Please consider joining the Friends of Lied with a tax-deductible contribution to assist us in sustaining these artistic programs and maintaining Nebraska’s

“Home for the Arts.”

We invite you to join us for a wide variety of music, theater and dance at the Lied this season.

See you at the Theater!
