Welcome the winter chills with a spine-tingling Stephen King classic: Misery. Adapted for the stage by William Goldman, the screenwriter of the Oscar-nominated film adaptation, Misery follows world-famous novelist Paul Sheldon, who, after a near-fatal car accident, finds himself in a strange house being nursed back to health by his "Number One Fan.” Featuring Mark Coffin, acclaimed for his role in Constellation’s 2023 production of Deathtrap, as Paul Sheldon, this stage adaptation of the classic thriller is one you won’t want to miss!
Starring alongside Mark Coffin is Laurie Carter Rose as Annie Wilkes. A Chicago-based actor, Laurie has performed nationally and beyond, including West End and US National Tour productions of Sunset Boulevard and Jesus Christ Superstar. Joining the cast is Bloomington-based actor Alan Craig, playing Buster. Alan was previously seen in Constellation’s productions of The Grapes of Wrath (Proprietor), To Kill a Mockingbird (Heck Tate), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Cheswick), West Side Story (Officer Krupke), and more.

The sewer rate for City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) customers will increase starting January 1, 2025. The new rate will be reflected starting in the February 2025 bills. Also, starting January 1, 2025, customers who pay their CBU bill using a debit or credit card will have a service fee. The average CBU customer should expect a monthly increase of less than $2 on their bill, but customer impacts will vary with water use and meter size. This rate change will not affect charges for drinking water or stormwater services.
The Bloomington Common Council and Utilities Service Board approved the sewer rate increase in 2022. This is the second of two phases; the first phase was 12% in 2023, and now 6% in 2025. This new rate supports continued improvements to the wastewater plants and sewer lining projects.
