The
UT Tyler R. Don Cowan Fine and Performing Arts
Center has begun its annual campaign for membership
in the Cowan Center Circle. A
native of Jacksonville, Texas, Womack has earned
many awards including the 2001 Country Music
Association Female Vocalist of the Year. Her
album, I Hope You Dance, sold three
million copies, and the title track was named
Single of the Year by the CMA. Renewal memberships received by May 9 will be entered in a drawing for a weekend in Galveston including hotel accommodations and Saturday evening tickets to a performance at the 1894 Grand Opera House. “Your membership in the Cowan Center Circle truly makes a difference in the our ability to provide ‘Quality Arts–Right Where You Are.’ You can enjoy state-of-the-art entertainment without leaving East Texas,” said Susan Thomae-Morphew, Cowan Center director. Funding from Circle membership helps make higher quality events possible and directly supports educational programming for schools along with quality upgrades to the Cowan Center. Membership support enables the Cowan Center to be the cultural center of East Texas. Last
season the Circle membership totaled 236, with
16 show sponsors. Support from the Cowan Center
Circle provided for remodeling the Green Room,
which supports casts and crews of touring shows
and doubles as a classroom, a new lobby sound
system, upgrade of the sound and lighting for
the Vaughn Auditorium, educational performances
for public schools and an enclosure for the
box office that will be constructed this season.
