Cincinnati Arts Association Announces Fall 2011 Season, Begins Oct 12

The Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA) has announced its Fall 2011 Season - three October events that promise diverse audiences a fun night of music and/or dance at the Aronoff Center. These intriguing additions to another vibrant Cincinnati arts season are certain to continue CAA's long-standing mission of presenting an eclectic mix of alternative entertainment choices to Cincinnati theater-goers.

The Fall Season opens on October 12th with the return of Neil Berg's 101 Years of Broadway, a sequel to his popular ‘Broadway's Greatest Hits" musical revue 100 Years of Broadway that played the Aronoff Center in February 2009. Later that month, audiences will move to the cool and hip salsa sounds of The Kings Of Salsa, direct from Cuba; and groove to the political folk-rock of the legendary singer-songwriter, Arlo Guthrie, and his all-new Boys' Night Out Tour.

CAA is currently confirming a number of events for its Winter/Spring 2012 Season, which will be announced later this year.

"We are thrilled to start off our season with a trio of diverse, fun-filled events which promise to appeal to a wide variety of audiences," says Steve Loftin, President & Executive Director of the Cincinnati Arts Association. "We hope that this entertaining mix of CAA Experiences will add variety to the 2011-12 schedules at the Aronoff Center and Music Hall, encouraging audiences to have fun downtown before and after these great events, and to enjoy all that our city has to offer!"

Arlo Guthrie's concerts embody the spirit of the ‘60s while staying at the forefront of contemporary folk, all combined with his unique style, which is at once hilarious and inspiring. The legendary singer-songwriter gets back to his roots, performing his hits and many deep album cuts from a repertoire spanning more than 40 years. Guthrie has long been a crowd favorite as he incorporates his humorous philosophical reflections with folk-rock classics and brilliantly crafted, thought-provoking new works. Son Abe Guthrie, grandson Krishna Guthrie, instrumentalist Gordon Titcomb, and long-time drummer Terry "a la Berry" Hall form the Boys' Night Out band, offering both synergistic and familial support.
