ninety's and it was just exquisite my wife watched it last night she said i'm going to sit with mary that chuck is always out there trying to like you know pawn his poor wife on me but anyway i love having seance it with me but anyway we talk about good looking guys this is my very lovely segue max and valor are coming oh these are your heart throbs it's more the dancing with the stars dancing with stars which is starting again on television and valid is probably the biggest name are apparently quite a lot but they will be here on june sixteenth dancing our way and chris isaac is here april twenty eighth right so those are some great additions and then i should also note we added brian wilson right to september eleventh with boots is coming to town it's not here it's our one week big broadway musical another tony award winning musical this year one of my favorites of the last three or four years that i've seen i just fell in love with his music oh i did wonderful and just the it's such a great story and by oh they have done a great revival of the old television version of rodgers and hammerstein's sister around so beautiful as to serve them wonderful and the way she morphs into the princes and this is going to be a great show because we have it on puts baby in the corner no you know that's january tenth and eleventh that we're going to have a a and so we shows of that and then river dance is coming back one of my all time favorites i always said this one of my daughters through college i will have with so many times and i never get tired of  right radio city and you know it's it's something about irish dancing and we were all like drag myself down and was spellbound the entire time went to the party afterwards and all these young dancers these beautiful women and men are all outside smoking these european stage and there's nothing better than living on the chair and looking out in the audience with seven hundred people there and you're going wow this is this or that but it sounded good once on st patrick's day march seventeenth and we didn't think this was going to happen but it did  incredible broadway season then we have a few broadway specials that will put in their forty second street due to its popularity this year but i do think that was one of the best i've ever leading probably could have sold two or three other shows out on that evening so everybody want to it was fantastic that's coming back on december thirtieth right one hundred eight years of broadway well once again our way through and the nice thing is we have three series this year we have a family series where you get i think it's fifteen percent twenty percent off right  you buy the whole package twenty one percent and then there's a make your own package which you can mix and match with our other series as well for ten percent off as you know it's for more and of all the broadway shows you just picked for the broadway show and you can either call nine five three three three six eight or box office you can order online yet for the subscriptions because we allow subscribers to renew their deceivers first and get the great seats get together this whole house sits right and then we're going to be back in a the university we're located not too far away from here on your signs all the time yeah right on the highway yeah definitely but you used to be known as the university of sarasota what is that about we did university a sarasota was actually found i every now and then i talk to my assistant explained to her there was a time before e mail in fact and all this but that seems like crazy wow that's amazing but your mark your part of your mission i know is to have partnerships and here at the van we have had a wonderful when with argosy care how does that work with the within the college framework of how it fits with your students well one of the things we're trying to do obviously since we've been around so long is make sure that we are entrenched in the community and we want to do a lot of outreach efforts some of the current partnership agreements that we have we have an education fellowship is what we call so not just in the local community we all when you present fellowship scholarship to anyone that works in the school district  you know you're a teacher or administrator wonderful and they can do this at night then with distance learning and certainly certainly you know we have online patient obviously or we also have residency classes but we try to work around people's busy and one of the things i read in looking over the material some argosy is your students do really well afterwards why do you think that is well i think we have a practitioner based teaching style so we always say if you're the type a student learns more by doing  you know obviously there may be testing in some research that were more a hands on approach so in the classrooms you might do for counseling programs you might do role plays you might learn from our faculty member some of them might have experience with things such as play therapy or therapy so you're really in trenching yourself in the role play and we do a lot of that here with arts education and things like that yes and i think like i said it's a valuable tool now do you have undergraduate and graduate degrees we do we do we have undergraduate programs for psychology business and criminal justice and we have graduate programs ranging anywhere from our behavioral sciences which is our counseling our american family therapy programs or forensic psychology our industr and that is a higher standard of accreditation for the counseling or education fields so we are well known for that we actually have ninety two percent pass rate of the national licensure exam which we're very proud of  and the thing that's nice is as i mentioned about our program is our residency is typically you don't hatch lee have to come to the classes maybe once every fifteen weeks of the semester typically or classes would be maybe a an extended weekend format so that's where the learning comes into play you could be anywhere in florida and we have other states that we can recruit from so i don't you didn't choose to work it argosy tampa i did actually yeah i was a senior admissions representative there and that's located right outside downtown tampa are these programs different tampa and sarasota were they mirror we each other we actually like to think are ourselves are going to see florida in one benefit is if a student lives in say lakeland florida and they want to do the residency classes if the tampa campus is more convenient for them they can actually attend the campus at tampa and also typically they would have the classes there one night and we really have that one weekend format person muster so we want to try to make it as convenient as possible with our students as far as if they're working or they have families or recent university is for someone like myself and like yourself as a working adult right we try to cater to that and you and i have sort of crossed paths you know we didn't know it but you were you were in pittsburgh i was in pittsburgh probably different times of the year but it was a great place to start you know my career i know that did you enjoy it there i did i did i was born and raised in pittsburgh pennsylvania went to got my undergraduate degree in professional studies with a concentration of leadership a point park university and actually that's kind of would brought me here or i started at south university online which is one of our sister schools and when i found out we had a campuses throughout the country i was able to relocate to tampa and experience that face to face interaction with student that's great that's great now if somebody out there in our audience wants to take classes do they have to be towards a degree or can you just take some some credits and you can you can take what we call individual classes sometimes students will move from out of state obviously with florida being a destination and then when you need certain classes just the physical some requirements for counseling are something that the state would require for education we absolutely have that we also have some specialist degree programs maybe the student will graduate with a masters in clinical mental health counseling and they want to concentrate and say marriage and family therapy we have some certificates in that that would enhance their counseling ability how could people here in our viewership area sign up for classes or get more information do you have a web site or absolutely yeah they can just go to w w w dot  backslash sarasota and they can request information that way or we'd love to have people just walk into our campus so we're located right off of seventeenth street and on or a you know feel free to come in and we'd be about to meet with you show you around give you some history of our campus in the university of sarasota and tell you more about we think of ourself as more of a family at argosy university great and our goal is to make the admissions process a smooth as possible but our messages if you're a student there we want to make sure that you have a great experience graduate and go on what you what you want to do and actually the location here the man weasel is where we held our commencement ceremony i know we're so grateful for that and i just want to tell everybody argosy has been a sponsor for many years and it's been fantastic to have you this year is a sponsor of celtic woman which is coming up in april and we will be back in just a minute but we recommend highly to anyone to give blaze or argosy a call and all place was great when he was terrific but i wonder if there was really distance learning he says there was when i when i was going to school whether i would get anything done know there is a business skipping them now you don't even have to go but anyway it's a great way i think if you're trying to do a master's wonderful you know lead a series in or even if your adult education to go in and take a remedial course salukis like absolutely i want to goin to take a course in public speaking i need to get clean smooth wrong you do you do and you need to be able to appreciate good looking people on the stage when you are not always managed well we have chicago for you but here we're going to talk about our dan recipient of the community video archives the hall of fame a warning and i got this call and i was told who the other people were and i couldn't believe that they picked me with them i mean my friend nick wallenda right you know  schools i've ever seen you know he's done so much for the arts and howard temple it's for the jewish federation actually they've been a sponsor of ours forever and leads you know really good fight and it's been on this program and i'm honored to be with them and t it was a terrible thing they came for two hours ask me questions about my life and you know and any good stories i had of course i couldn't tell because there that you would try what got me in trouble is when you know unless somebody was passed away or something but and i have a lot of good stories so if you ever want to come have a coffee you know i could maybe all go home we're going to for the seeing the pictures of you from your childhood i had to pry pictures of my childhood and they were asking me what was my father like and it was excruciating it was awful you know but it's on april eighteenth and they're having a luncheon at michael's funny and my sister and my niece are flying and my cousin and it's really an honor and i'm really touched that they would think of me because when i came to ban wa all about nine or ten years ago i never thought this would happen because in the beginning i really felt like at the van way so we were the odd man out and you know it's so wonderful to have seen the theater turn around the big part of the community here who is no question from the town i've noticed how big you know your well you know it's only because of the theater you know and i really feel that it's quite frankly all the staff that helped but we've really i think there's such passion in our office for what we do and we love it especially marketing i yeah absolutely the marketing team but i mean i can tell you for some of the shows that i've gotten i josh groban we were out in the middle of the everglades driving around and i can remember jumping out of the car or as tony will tell the story he took i mean him about the car in the pouring rain fifteenth and then we have alvin ailey and my favorite i what's the most requested dance company i've handled i'm in boston philly miami i'm so glad to handle them here i was hoping you would book them i just loved it was like you know when we can fit them together with miami that's the other thing we do here in florida we book on with other companies and so i know all the people that work in florida and we try to book our shows together and that's fabulous because we're able to try and see if we get robert battle to either come to town i would say that we grasp your for us because he was so terrific  miami and then of course we have the great classical ballet swan lake running february twenty eighth and then palapa list oh yes yes and they're doing one of their big pieces we have seen once and i can't wait to see the last time they were here they did a few small pieces this is a big piece and that's march twenty third and then talking about big pieces this is one of my favorite companies moment i'm happy to see them i've never actually seen film they are just amazing the things they do and we've been lucky enough in the past to be able to do some children shows but this year they're doing another big piece it's called opus cactus right so that's our dance series it's a terrific and it's a terrific and i was really excited about this and then classical we have we chose the word classical rather than orchestra and we don't mean to turn anybody off by the work classical but it's a mixture of and she took me around vienna and i'm so excited she's coming to sarasota you take a rest are so damn good i absolutely am and i hope she stays with me but she is stunningly beautiful and sings like an angel and that's january third and then the new name is my hometown or maybe my adopted hometown because i was born in trenton new jersey but i lived in philadelphia forever the philadelphia orchestra is coming this year they are coming they can't had to rearrange their schedule and they are coming this year and then probably the most popular classical artist on the path planet this will be his third time here and i am like want to sit on the other side of the theater so i can see his hand in his hands or see or write long long is coming and that's the one show i can say out of all these that if should be coming to van ways that is a lot of great you know that's a good way to see you know if yes here for getting there you are and then you would call us at nine five three three three six eight go to the box office as we said become a subscriber you get the best seats you save money and then the nice thing is when we put a hot show on like a josh groban or something you get to go advance knowledge of tickets for the general and the general public and that sometimes they sell out in the advance and if you haven't received our new procedure which was going out in the mail the end of the month of march you can do it's also online and there's an electronic version you come to your box office again or you just call it will mail you a copy of it as well so yes it's a terrific season so come back to to the band ways all with chuck and i will talk to you about memory lanes and we will see you next month
