Since 1942, the Forum lecture series has presented many of the world's greatest minds and imaginations. Speakers have ranged from Margaret Mead to Cornel West, William Westmoreland to Noam Chomsky, Buckminster Fuller to Carl Sagan, and Bennett Cerf to Garrison Keillor. Believed to be the oldest such continuous program in the United States, The Forum informs, enlightens and inspires through the spoken word.
The Artists Series presents excellence in the performing arts, which uplifts the spirit and enlivens the mind. In recent seasons the Artists Series has featured medalists of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, the Tibetan Monks, Pilobolus Dance Theatre, Colcannon, The Baltimore Consort, Odadaa! and Moses Hogan. World-class performers entertain and enrich through music, dance and theater arts, at a fraction of ticket prices in the Twin Cities, Milwaukee and Chicago
University Theatre examines the human condition through the collaboration of playwrights, actors, designers, directors, technicians, and stage managers. Audiences are entertained and enlightened--sometimes moved to laughter and sometimes brought to tears by the drama presented in live performance.
