As an anchor for performing arts at the University of Maine and for our region, the CCA has been bringing broad and diverse programming to our stage since we opened in 1986. Each year we carefully curate a season that we feel has something for everyone and this year is no exception! We have music, theater, family shows, holiday concerts, musicals, and our broadcast offerings with the best of London theatre and the Metropolitan Opera. And of course, no season would be complete without the Bangor Symphony Orchestra and selected performances from UMaine’s School of Performing Arts.
It is our pleasure to provide a beautiful venue where you can see performers up close and personal at a reasonable price. As you browse through this program, please take note of the wonderful entities that have made a choice to support the Arts. We could not do what we do without their generosity.
We’re proud to support the Collins Center for the Arts
Dear Friends,
It’s almost unimaginable that our last complete season was back in 2018-2019. We have endured a lot since then, which is why reaching this moment feels so monumental.
We thank them – and you – for being with us.
welcome
The creativity and spirit of musicians, performers, and artists transcend economic benefit to our communites. And that’s worth a lot.
