The theater department presents the inspiring story of “Silent Sky,” Fri., Sat. Feb. 28-29 at 7p.m., and Sun. March 1 at 2 p.m., William Inge Theater. It is the true story of Henrietta Leavitt, who in 1900 mapped stars for Harvard University, but received no scientific credit.

ICC then hosts the Kansas Music Education Association in a daylong event Sat. March 28.

The vocal and theatre departments then combine talents to present the musical “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.”  This fun tale about the romance and mishaps of modern dating plays Fri. and Sat. May 1-2 at 7 p.m., Sun. May 3 at 2 p.m.  Performance location will be announced.

Soon after, on Wed. May 6 at 7 p.m., the Jazz and Concert Bands are in concert at the William Inge Theater.

The academic year culminates with the 39th William Inge Theater Festival, honoring Lynn Nottage, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama.  The Inge Festival is May 13-16.
