Visitor Behavior Policy of the UIS Performing Arts Center ppinn2 Tue, 12/19/2023 - 14:14

Scope

This policy applies to all visitors and participants at events held at the UIS Performing Arts Center, including performances, lectures, meetings, receptions, and other activities. In addition to the behaviors listed below, the management of the UIS Performing Arts Center and University of Illinois Springfield retains the right to address any participant conduct it deems is unsafe or negatively affecting the enjoyment and/or participation of others. Management also reserves the right to change or modify this policy at any time without notice. The terms visitors and participants are used interchangeably in this policy.

Purpose

The University of Illinois Springfield is committed to ensuring all visitors and participants at the UIS Performing Arts Center have a positive and safe experience. To that end, we are establishing the following requirements for personal conduct.

Statement of Policy:

All participants are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not interfere with other participant’s enjoyment or participation in the event. Conduct must not compromise the security and well-being of the participant or another person, nor should it result in or have the potential to result in damage to property.

Specifically Prohibited Conduct at the UIS Performing Arts Center:

Disruptive Behavior: Participants may not disrupt, interfere with, or prevent (a) the orderly conduct of a function or activity, including, but not limited to, classes and other instructional activities; research; study; lectures; presentations; performances; meetings; interviews; administrative business; ceremonies; or other public events; or (b) access to any room or space in which such functions or activities are being held.
Noise: Participants must maintain a low noise level at events so as not to disturb others. Examples include but are not limited to loud talking, singing along with a performance when not invited to do so by the performer, or other disruptive noises.
Use of Mobile & Electronic Devices: Patrons should silence or turn off mobile and electronic devices during performances and events. The use of such devices in a manner that disrupts a performance/event or disturbs others is prohibited.
Photography & Recording: Unless specifically permitted at an event, photography and audio and/or video recording of performances is prohibited. When photography or audio/video recording is permitted, it must not be done in a manner which does not interfere with other participants’ enjoyment of, or participation in, the event. Examples of potentially disruptive behavior include standing in aisles, obstructing the view of others, distracting light emanating from cell phone screens, excessive clicking of camera shutters, etc. The use of camera tripods, selfie sticks, or similar items is also prohibited without prior authorization from the management of the UIS Performing Arts Center.
Food and Drink: Bringing in outside food or beverages, other than bottled water or infant formula, is prohibited.
Cannabis, Tobacco, Vaping: Use of cannabis, tobacco, or vape products in any form on campus is prohibited.
Movement and Dancing: Unless invited or encouraged by the performer or event leader, patrons should remain seated during performances. Standing, dancing, or moving in a way that obstructs the view or disrupts the experience for others is not permitted.
Blocking Aisles: Aisles are emergency exit paths and must remain clear at all times. Sitting in the aisles is not permitted. Personal items, including mobility aids, are not permitted to be stored in aisles or exit paths.
Obstructive View: Intentionally obstructing other’s view of the performance is prohibited.
Verbal or Physical Threats: Any active violence, threat, and/or harassment against any person is prohibited. This includes verbal or physical indications/threats of potential violence.
Throwing Items: Throwing items onto the stage or at speakers, performers, or other people is prohibited.
Unauthorized Stage and Backstage Access: Any attempt to go onto the stage or into the performance area, including backstage areas, without proper authorization is prohibited.
Failure to Follow Instructions: All event participants are expected to follow the instructions of UIS Performing Arts Center staff and event volunteers.
Other UIS Policies or Performer Requirements: In addition to following this policy, all participants shall follow and abide by all other relevant UIS policies.

Individuals with disabilities preventing compliance with the above list of prohibitive conduct may seek reasonable accommodations by contacting a staff member of the UIS Performing Arts Center.

Procedures

When a violation of this policy occurs, staff are expected to take the following steps.

Warning: Staff members or volunteers give a verbal warning to patrons engaging in disruptive behavior.
Second Warning: A second warning will result in staff asking the patron to leave the performance space temporarily to discuss the issue.
Ejection: Staff may consider ejection from the UIS Performing Arts Center without a refund for patrons failing to comply with this policy after multiple warnings. Especially egregious behavior may result in staff issuing a notice of trespass.

Immediate Ejection from Event

The UIS Performing Arts Center and University of Illinois Springfield reserve the right to bypass any warnings listed above and immediately remove a patron from the UIS Performing Arts Center and/or campus. Specifically, illegal activity, such as attempting to enter into restricted areas including onto the stage and into backstage areas without authorization, or conduct that puts a participant’s safety at risk or has the potential to put other’s safety at risk, will result in immediate removal from the facility and may result in arrest or criminal charges.

Enforcement of this Policy

Volunteers of the UIS Performing Arts Center: A volunteer’s primary duty related to this policy is to monitor the behavior of visitors and participants and to politely inform them about this policy as needed (i.e., issuing a “Warning”). If a person remains noncompliant with this policy after the warning, the volunteer shall notify the appropriate staff member on duty to resolve the situation. It is not the duty of a volunteer to discuss or debate the policy. Volunteers shall not physically touch a participant, nor order them to leave an event.

Staff of the UIS Performing Arts Center: Staff members have the authority to issue “Warnings” and “Second Warnings” to non-compliant participants. This includes having detailed conversations with the participant about the policy and/or instructing the person to leave the immediate event area to allow for further discussion. Staff also have the authority to verbally request a participant leave the UIS Performing Arts Center. Staff shall not physically touch a participant, nor use force to remove them from an event. Rather, staff shall contact UIS Police for assistance.

UIS Police: UIS Police shall be contacted to intervene in cases of illegal activity, active or potential acts of violence, public safety issues, staff requests to eject a participant from the premises, and all instances requiring police services.

Brad Williams: Tour ’24 skupp4 Mon, 11/20/2023 - 11:28

“No one is doing stand-up comedy more hilariously than Brad Williams.”
New York Times

Pound for pound, Brad Williams is the funniest comedian in the country right now, and has become one of the most in-demand comedians working today. Williams started doing stand-up comedy as a teenager and has been touring successfully ever since, routinely selling out prestigious venues all over the country and world.

Williams has parlayed his live performances into a multitude of stand-up television appearances, including The Tonight Show, Dave Attell’s Comedy Underground, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. His first one-hour special, Fun Size, was the highest rated special on Showtime, and a year later, he followed that up with his second one, Daddy Issues, which was even more successful than the first. His third special in three years was an uproarious one, hosting some of the edgiest comedians in the country from the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. His last groundbreaking special on Netflix, The Degenerates, garnered more huge ratings and rave reviews.

Also an accomplished actor, Williams has appeared on numerous TV shows and feature films, including FX’s Legit, Sam and Cat, Mind of Mencia, Pitboss, a recurring role on the Hulu original show Deadbeat, and memorable roles in a plethora of movies, including Little Evil, produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), as well as the Netflix original Christopher Guest film, Mascots, and most recently Reno 911: It’s A Wonderful Heist.

Recently, Brad became the first stand-up comedian to headline a Cirque de Soleil show in their 30 year history, when he agreed to launch—and do a three month run of—their newest show Mad Apple, at the magnificent 1200 seat New York New York Theater in Las Vegas. The show became an immediate smash hit to rave revues, singling out Williams for his incredible ability to captivate his audiences with his extraordinary performances.

In addition to stand-up and acting, Williams co-created and co-hosted one of the most successful podcasts in the world, with friend and fellow comic Adam Ray, entitled ��ý Last Night, which was always a mainstay on the iTunes charts during their five year run. Additionally, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show.

Williams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members; which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head

John Mellencamp Live and In Person skupp4 Mon, 10/30/2023 - 12:38

John Mellencamp’s career in music, spanning more than 35 years, is one of the most highly respected singer/songwriters of a generation. Mellencamp is incredibly acclaimed; he is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award and Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award and more recently, the Founders Award, the top honor assigned by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also one of the most successful live concert performers in the world. In 1985, Mellencamp, together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young, created Farm Aid. The social activism reflected in his songs helped catalyze Farm Aid, the concert series and organization that has addressed the struggle of American family farmers for more than 25 years.

Legends of Rock: John Mellencamp, a permanent exhibition at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, opened last year. There, Mellencamp confirmed his massive “Live and In Person 2023” tour coming to Springfield, IL in March 2024.

Mellencamp continues his journey as the walking embodiment of rock icon; passionate, plain-spoken, and a self-proclaimed rebel. John Mellencamp continues to live and work in Bloomington, Indiana.
