Oh man, is it back-to-school time already?

Well, at least Central Washington University is already giving you plenty of options on how to spend your spare time -- whether you're a student or not.

Today, tickets go on sale for CWU's 2008-09 Performing Arts and Presidential Speaker Series. Here's the schedule:

* Sept. 18 -- Performance by the Arctic Chamber Orchestra, the touring branch of the Fairbanks Symphony.

* Oct. 8 -- Author, naturalist and free speech advocate Terry Tempest Williams will discuss environmental and social ethics.

* Oct. 22 -- Performance by Los Angeles' Mariachi los Camperos di Nati Cano.

* Nov. 1 -- Critically acclaimed mime Bill Bowers (a student of Marcel Marceau) explores the peace and balance that silence brings.

* Dec. 13-14 -- "The Nutcracker: Two Faces." CWU's Chamber Orchestra and Jazz Band I take the stage together to perform side-by-side interpretations of this classic holiday story.

* Jan. 11, 2009 -- CWU Music Faculty Ensemble Showcase.

* Feb. 12, 2009 -- Grammy-winning male a cappella ensemble Chanticleer returns to CWU to perform renditions of pop, jazz, gospel and classical songs.

* April 9, 2009 -- A talk by Dr. Bob Arnot, the globetrotting medical expert, former NBC foreign correspondent and host of the television series "Dr. Danger."

* May 7, 2009 -- Performance by Grammy-winning jazz-fusion guitarist and composer Earl Klugh.

* May 2009 -- CWU's Central Theater Ensemble production of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers."

Season tickets are available by calling 963-1301, or through CWU's Student Union and Recreation Center ticket office, which is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. Individual tickets go on sale Sept. 15. Complete series information is at www.cwu.edu/president/series.

 

Tickets are also on sale for these events coming to Central:

* Comedic songwriter Stephen Lynch performs at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 26 in the student union ballroom.

* Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood -- stars of the improv TV show "Who's Line is it Anyway?" -- will show off their on-the-spot antics at 8 p.m. Oct. 25 in the student union ballroom as part of Central's homecoming celebration.

Tickets to both of these shows cost $35 for reserved seats, $25 for general admission and $15 for CWU students and are available through the student union box office
