2013 Center Stage at Indian River State CollegeCurtain at 4 p.m. McAlpin Fine Arts Center

Thursday, January 24, 2013 - Broadway’s Next H!T Musical Come prepared to laugh out loud! Reviewed in New York as the best improv comedy in the city, this musical comedy is not like any show you have ever seen before. The hysterical Broadway’s Next H!T Musical is the only unscripted theatrical awards show. Master improvisers gather made up, hit song suggestions from the audience and create a spontaneous evening of music, humor and laughter. The audience votes for their favorite song and watches as the cast turns it into a full blown improvised musical—complete with memorable characters, witty dialogue and plot twists galore. The New York Times calls this show “hilarious!” and the New York Post “Remarkable.”

Thursday, February 21, 2013 - This Blue Planet with Alexandra CousteauA National Geographic "Emerging Explorer,” filmmaker and globally recognized advocate on water issues, Alexandra Cousteau continues the work of her renowned grandfather Jacques-Yves Cousteau and her father Philippe Cousteau, Sr. She has mastered the remarkable storytelling tradition handed down to her and has the unique ability to inspire audiences on the often weighty issues of policy, politics and action. Alexandra is dedicated to advocating the importance of conservation and sustainable management of water in order to preserve a healthy planet. Her global initiatives seek to inspire and empower individuals to protect not only the ocean and its inhabitants, but also the human communities that rely on freshwater resources.

Monday, March 18, 2013 - The Capitol Steps The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. The group was born in December 1981 when some staffers for Senator Charles Percy decided to dig into the headlines of the day, and they created song parodies & skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor. Not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience. Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded over 30 albums, including their latest, Take the Money and Run — for President. They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS.

Friday, April 12, 2103 - Twyla Tharp on The Creative Habit Since graduating from Barnard College in 1963, Ms. Tharp has choreographed more than one hundred thirty-five dances, five Hollywood movies and directed and choreographed four Broadway shows. In 1965, Ms. Tharp founded her dance company, Twyla Tharp Dance. Her dances are known for creativity, wit and technical precision coupled with a streetwise nonchalance. Ms. Tharp's work first appeared on Broadway in 1980 with WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG, followed by her collaboration with David Byrne on THE CATHERINE WHEEL and then SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. In 2002, her dance musical MOVIN' OUT, set to the music and lyrics of Billy Joel, received, among other awards, the 2003 Tony Award for Best Choreography. In film, She has collaborated with director Milos Forman on HAIR, RAGTIME and AMADEUS. Ms. Tharp wrote her autobiography PUSH COMES TO SHOVE in 1992 and went on to write THE CREATIVE HABIT: Learn it and Use it for Life, followed by THE COLLABORATIVE HABIT: Life Lessons for Working Together.

2012-2013 Distinguished Lecture Series on Current IssuesNow in our seventh season, the series brings experts and seasoned educators to the podium on current events including subjects in foreign policy, the environment, education, health, and the economy.

Thursdays, December 13, January 10, February 14, March 14, April 119:30-11:30 a.m. Mueller Campus, Richardson Center, Vero Beach3-5 p.m. Chastain Campus, Wolf High Technology Center, Stuart

December 13, 2012 - “U.S. Medical Care--the Cost and Comparisons Abroad” In an era of rising public debt, finding sensible ways and means of keeping our annual health care outlays under control has become a national preoccupation and priority. All without violating the health providers’ motto of ‘Do No Harm.’ An impossible challenge? Perhaps. This lecture will explain why, while also touching on the cost containment steps built into the existing Affordable Health Care Act and other approaches suggested by ongoing research. Dr. Robert Reiser, Associate Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine and Medical Director for the Emergency Department at the University of Virginia School of Medicine will present.

January 10, 2013 - “The Arab Nations Going Forward--What Can We Expect?” This lecture will look at likely developments in the Middle East, country by country, and what America’s stance might turn out to be. This is a volatile area, with many interlocking interests and interactions. To sort it all out, we turn to former Foreign Service Officer Molly Williamson who served six presidents, achieving the rank of Career Minister. In addition to her numerous State Department postings in the Middle East, she has worked in the departments of Commerce, Energy and Defense.

February 14, 2013 - “The Food We’re Eating, Is It Safe?” Our food chain has expanded enormously, with myriad agricultural products streaming in from abroad. Some of our domestic food folks don’t appear to be all that careful these days. And the push is one to cut back on FDA’s budget. What should a country like ours, which takes its food seriously, be doing--policy- and regulation-wise? Dr. Martha Roberts is Deputy Commissioner in the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Over her 34 years there, she has become a prominent authority on food safety issues, enabling producers, packers and processors to minimize food contamination and ensure high quality products.

March 14, 2013 - “Student Achievement and Global Competitiveness” We’ve dropped to the second tier of countries in the proportion of young adults receiving college degrees, and in the middle of the pack in performance of middle- and high-school students, according to international assessments. What does this mean for jobs and competitiveness, and what policies might the states and the feds pursue as remedies? Our speaker is Dr. John Phillipo, founder of the Center for Educational Leadership and Technology (CELT). He consults with school and universities in linking 21st century educational reforms with the effective use of information technology.

April 11, 2013 - “A Look at What Needs to Be Built (or Re-built) in America” From bridges, to roads, to schools, to power grids, to easier Internet access, our physical plant is in urgent need of upgrading. Do we have the will, and the resources, to tackle the problem? It’s one in which the states, the feds and private investors will all be involved. Our lecturer is Dr. Everett Ehrlich, one of the nation’s leading business economists. Currently head of ESC Company, a D.C.-based business consulting firm, he was Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs in the Clinton Administration. More recently, he directed the Commission on Public Infrastructure, co-chaired by Felix Rohatyn and Warren Rudman, organized by the Center for Strategic and Intelligence Studies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP

Q: How do I become a Lifetime Member if I have already paid my annual membership for 2012-2013?

A: If you have already paid the annual 2012-2013 membership of $50.00 your Lifetime Membership will be $315.00.

Q: What if I am already a Distinguished Lecture Series subscriber?

A: If you have already subscribed at $150.00 this included your annual membership of $50. Your Lifetime Membership will be $315.00.

Q: Why are series programs not included in Lifetime Membership?

A: We hope we have made it easier to participate. All offerings in our program that are series programs will be designated with “Series” in the title. These programs have variable hard costs involved because they are contracted with other organizations and third parties. While we do not plan to increase registration fees related to these programs in the foreseeable future, we do need to cover the expenses of delivering these programs.

Q: How do I register for programs included in Lifetime Membership?

A: Once you opt in as a Lifetime Member, your lifelong learning record will identify you as such and will not require registration payment. You will choose and register for the programs of interest to you on a first come first served basis with no additional registration fees. It is our intention to add offerings in the event demand exceeds the current schedule of offerings.

Q: Is my Lifetime Membership tax deductible?

A: The Lifetime Membership is a contribution to the Endowment Fund and therefore is tax deductible.

Q: Can I become a Lifetime Member online?

A: Yes. All you have to do is fill out the membership form on the website and click on the Lifetime Membership option—go to irscfoundation.org and click on Lifelong Learning. Become a Member is located on the left side of the page. Or you can visit the College homepage at irsc.edu and click on the bottom of the page where you see Lifelong Learning. Become a Member is located on the left side of the page. You can also join us by phone or mail.

Q: How will Lifetime Members affect future programming?

A: We hope that more members will opt in and enjoy more than one offering. We very much want to provide multiple opportunities to come together and participate in programs. This will give us an even clearer direction in planning member-driven programming and ensuring a positive member experience.
