The Buskirk-Chumley Theater presents Rufus Wainwright Tuesday, August 7, 8PM $44 Reserved Seating
Rufus Wainwright’s new album Out of the Game, will be released in the United States on May 11. The celebrated Singer/Songwriter will be making an appearance at Bloomington’s Buskirk-Chumley Theater on August 7, 2012 in support of his new release.
Affectionately referred to by Elton John as “the greatest songwriter on the planet” and praised by the New York Times for his “genuine originality,” Grammy nominee Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright. Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theater, dance and film.
$1 from every ticket sold for Rufus Wainwright's American tour will go to the Kate McGarrigle Fund. As an inspirational tribute to the wonderful care that she received in her hometown of Montreal, Canada, the late Kate McGarrigle, one of Canada’s most iconic folk singer-songwriters, established the Kate McGarrigle Fund to support cancer care and research at the McGill University Cancer Centre and the renowned teaching hospitals of McGill University in Montreal, including the McGill University Health Centre and the Jewish General Hospital.

Over the last year the BCT Box Office has undergone major changes. We changed our name to reflect our location and, more significantly, we changed our physical appearance to better serve the public and to blend in with our wonderful and historic venue. We want to continue to improve our service to respond to the ever-expanding cultural landscape of Bloomington and the needs of our patrons.
Your opinion is critical to this process. You, as a return customer to the Bloomington arts scene, know better than anyone what the BCT Box Office needs to serve you most effectively and efficiently. In a few weeks our staff will ask you to answer three questions, online, when you call in, or in person. We hope you will help us by providing us with your time, answers and insight.
