UT Tyler Cowan Center: Enjoy high class acts!

     Texas is right down center from the two states infamous for entertainment wonders: California and New York. Although mostly two cities make these states popular, the value consumes the states with visitors. New York City is well known for having great performance acts, whether it be musical, comedy or Broadway. It has it all. So when those acts come to The University of Texas at Tyler, there is an opportunity for East Texans and UT Tyler students to experience Grade A entertainment without traveling far. This is what the Cowan Center provides here at the university. 

     This will be the 18th season for the Cowan Center. This season will provide an array of world class acts where audiences will only crave more and come back every year.

     The perks of being a student here at UT Tyler, is that there are a set amount of tickets available for each show for free!! Though, it is a first come first serve basis, it is still a great opportunity to see such unique acts! I personally will go to see Nicholas Sparks. His romanticism and comedic genius is something I would love to explore as an audience. Who doesn't love The Notebook? 

     As a student, I have been to different shows at the Cowan Center. From Ballet, to magic to Broadway. I have loved every one. This season will definitely be something to look forward to!
