CENTER EXI ST S because of YOU
the
We are excited to present our 2018/2019 season lineup! As has been our practice, we seek to provide a wide array of artists and genres. This year, they range from Itzhak Perlman’s world renowned violin stylings to We Banjo 3’s nuanced mix of Irish tradition with modern Bluegrass; from the logic defying Clairvoyants to the iconic rock legend STYX. With your support, we have been able to expand the number of shows, and we anticipate continuing this trend in future years. We’re confident that you will find many shows that pique your interests, but also encourage you to take in a new genre or artist. We trust you will know through experience that the artists we bring to the Center are of the highest quality. Speaking of experience, we are working to improve yours here at the Center by starting our bar service earlier. Please enjoy a cocktail with us an hour before your show. When appropriate and available, we will be opening a bar in the Lyric Court so you will enjoy the beautiful evenings outdoors while relishing light meals prior to some shows. Check our website for additional information as the season progresses. We also have many exciting shows presented by organizations that rent our theaters. I encourage you to attend those shows as they have done so much to help us give you a place in your community to be entertained, and we hope you will support them as you have us. The Center exists because of your support, which includes over 40 free community events and our arts education programs serving thousands of children from local schools. Thank you for your patronage, and for letting us be your place to discover, create, and celebrate the arts. See you at the Center!
