Wilmington Trust Sponsors 2011 CSS Series.
5 Great Performances, 3 Options
To "Build" Your Own Season.

When the 2011 Celebrated Speakers Series at The Emerson Center kicks off, audiences will experience a whole new level of programming and choices, thanks in large part to the generous support of the series’ new Presenting Sponsor, Wilmington Trust.

According to Donald Croteau, “Wilmington Trust has opened the door for us to add a fifth speaker to our annual series, enabling our patrons, subscribers, and guests to experience additional thought-provoking programs. Plus, we’ve come up with a way to allow each subscriber to ‘build’ their own season by choosing a 5-show season or either of two 4-show options.”

For those who select a 5-show Full Season, they will first meet Peggy Noonan, author and political columnist, on January 15, 2011, followed by Patrick Jake (P.J.) O’Rourke, America’s premier political satirist, on February 5, 2011. Author and former national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, will appear on February 26, 2011. Gwen Ifill, the moderator and managing editor for Washington Week follows on March 19, 2011 while Paul Krugman, one of the world’s foremost economists, concludes the series on April 9, 2011. Full Season subscriptions cost $275.00 each and prior subscribers will be entitled to retain their seat selections provided they renew prior to the March 27, 2010 deadline.

Some patrons and subscribers may elect a Short Season option that includes only 4-shows. “Option 1,” features Noonan, O’Rourke, Brzezinski, and Ifill. “Option 2” subscribers will attend O’Rourke, Brzezinski, Ifill, and Krugman. Again in 2011, Short Season subscribers pay just $220 per subscription and they may retain their previous years’ seat assignment when they renew before the March 27th deadline.

To assure that subscribers’ special needs and requests are met, online reservations will not be available for the 2011 series. Instead, subscribers are asked to call the Emerson Center box office at 772-778-5249 for reservations.

Halsey Smith, Managing Director of Wilmington Trust adds, “We are excited about helping bring the Celebrated Speakers Series to our community. Since its inception in 2006, the Celebrated Speakers Series has continued to distinguish itself by providing quality performances and attentive service to the people of Indian River County and beyond. We are especially excited about the changes planned for the 2011 season and know this season will be remembered as the best ever.”

By the way, the >>2010 Celebrated Speakers Series<< is already underway. Single tickets for these performances may be purchased >>online<< or at the Emerson Center box office for $65 each while they last.
