Tickets are now available for the second performance of the CSI Theater Department's 2016-2017 Season, Jacob Marley. This show, directed by Laine Steel, will run Wednesdays through Saturdays, November 30 - December 3 and December 7 - 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for seniors or students. CSI students are free. Tickets can be purchased at the CSI Fine Arts Box Office, by calling 732-6288, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu.
Jacob Marley, directed by Laine Steel, fills in the blanks of Marley and Scrooge's relationship. Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol begins with the line: "Marley was dead to begin with. . . ." But why was Marley allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path?... Why was Marley so concerned about Scrooge?... We know what happened to Scrooge, but what of Marley? These questions and many more are answered in this new script written from the perspective of the ghost "burdened by chains, cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in steel."
The large cast includes: Kai Gyllenskog as Jacob Marley; Davis Craney as Ebenezer Scrooge; Cindy Simonson as the Narrator and the Benevolent Spirit; Alice Ariel as the Ghost of Christmas Past; Tyler Jones as the Ghost of Christmas Present; Derek Montes as the Ghost of Christmas Future. The production features The Marley Family, The Cratchit Family, and a host of familiar and new characters played by: Blake Dmochowski; Abinadi Hancock; Suleyma Alamillo; Baylee Young; Alexis Ulrich; Keegan Jones; Steve Hauskins; Luis Delgado; Roberto Flores; Hayden Mann; Curtis Hopfenbeck; Cloe Hewes; Riah Hewes; Billye Hewes; Morgan Vaughn; and Madeline Brackus. Assistant to the director is Shannon Werle. Technical Director is Shane Brown and Lighting Director is Jud Harmon.
Follow up performances to the CSI Theater Department's 2016-2017 Season include Julius Caesar, which will run February 22 - 25 and March 1 - 4 and Antigonick, which will run April 26 - 29 and May 3 - 6.
For more information or for tickets, call 732-6288.

The College of Southern Idaho Music Department presents a performance by the CSI Symphonic Band on Tuesday, December 6 at 7:30 PM in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. This concert, entitled
Holidays and Heroes
, is both a celebration of the Christmas season and a retrospective remembrance of forgotten heroes and veterans.
The band will honor two groups of veterans who seldom, if ever, receive recognition for their service, by performing the
U.S. Public Health Service March
and the official march of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration,
Forward with NOAA
. This year also marks the 15
th
anniversary of the 911 attacks, so the band will remember both the victims and the heroes of that day by performing Eric Ewazen's
A Hymn for the Lost and the Living.
In honor of the holiday season, the ensemble will perform four Christmas-related selections,
Babes in Toyland
, from the Disney movie of the same name,
Christmas in Europe
, by Timothy Johnson,
Ave Maria
, by the German composer Franz Biebl, and music by Henry Mancini from the soundtrack to the movie,
Carol for Another Christmas
.
Also on the program are a Sousa march,
From Maine to Oregon
, Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov's
Italian Polka,
Ritual Fire Dance
, by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla, and
October
, by Eric Whitacre.
Admission to the concert is free, but donations to the CSI Music Scholarship Fund are appreciated. For more information, please contact Dr. Halsell at 208-732-6767 or
ghalsell@csi.edu.

Financial aid advisors at the College of Southern Idaho are hosting FAFSA Night at CSI's Health Science building from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7.
FAFSA stands for Free Assistance for Federal Student Aid. Rules that just went into effect this fall make it possible for students who are making their college plans to apply for federal assistance now instead of having to wait until the new year as used to be the case. College advisors recommend applying early in order to know what assistance is available. This can help with decisions on college applications and choice of majors.
Students and their parents are urged to bring Social Security information, driver's license number, 2015 federal tax return and 2015 W-2, as well as alien registration card if not a U.S. citizen.
Those who attend are also urged to go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and obtain their federal student aid ID prior to the event.

The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Something Special: The Legacy of RJ Baxter and the Ineffable Power of Radio" on December 14. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.
The intimacy of radio lends itself to stories, both in music and speech. For more than one hundred years, radio broadcasts have captured listeners' imagination and emotion, and radio remains today one of the most powerful communication media. Join Jeff Fox at the next Stage Door for a live radio "broadcast," an exploration of the ineffable qualities of radio, of listening to music from the 20s through the 50s and the evocative power of voice and recorded music as connection to the imagination and heart of the human condition.
Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for CSI or high school and under students and are available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu. Seating is limited to 100 people.
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved.
For more information, contact the CSI Fine Arts Center at 732-6788.

The end of the year is fast approaching and for many of you that means open enrollment and benefit renewals. Your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is no different. While employees don't have to actively enroll in the EAP benefits, the plan does renew, which means that any authorized counseling services expire at the end of each benefit year.
All EAP counseling visits must be authorized prior to receiving services in order for the sessions to be covered. It's easy to get an authorization. You just need to call our Customer Support line at 800-726-0003 with your provider selection before your first appointment each year.
If you have been authorized to use your EAP benefits during the current benefit year and want to continue using them into the new benefit year, please be sure to call Customer Support in the new benefit year prior to your first appointment of the year to request authorization.
If you are unsure of your group's benefit year start date, you can check with your benefits administrator or call Customer Support at 800-726-0003. Failure to call each benefit year to request authorization will result in denied claims which will have to go through your health plan for coverage and could be your financial responsibility.
As a reminder, the EAP benefit provided by your employer is confidential, is offered at no cost to you, and connects you and your dependents to face-to-face counseling professionals, web-based tools and other resources that can help sort out work and personal challenges. The EAP is designed to address a wide range of topics including personal, work, relationship, legal, and financial issues. EAP counselors have offices that are located within a reasonable distance from your workplace or home. We can also accommodate the needs of dependents when they are away from home. Use the online BPA Health provider search at www.bpahealth.com or contact Customer Support at 800-726-0003 to find a counselor that can help address your individual needs.
