The company, established in 1961, first toured North America two seasons ago. Among its fifty-four dancers are distinguished Russian artists and winners of international ballet competitions. Tickets are $20 for University Park students, $24 for those ages 18 and under or $37 for adults.

One of America's most popular entertainers performs his acclaimed stand-up comedy show. Bill Cosby is, by any standard, one of the most influential stars in the United States. Whether through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Cosby has the ability to touch people's lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, women, and men. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Cosby's comedy has a point of reference and respect for the trappings and traditions of the great American humorists such as Mark Twain, Buster Keaton, and Jonathan Winters. Magic City Productions presents the show.
Parking for each Cosby show is $4 per vehicle and will be collected at the entrance to the Eisenhower Parking Deck on the evening of the performance. Patrons with Penn State faculty, staff, or student parking permits will not be charged an additional fee to park.
