Cultural Arts
The Cultural Arts Series is an offshoot of Central Lakes College Theatre. It is the goal of the Series to bring to local stages professional artists of national and international reputation. A wide variety of quality artists from the worlds of theatre, music, dance, and literature are presented by the Series at affordable prices. Series producer Patrick Spradlin calls this year the most ambitious season of the series’ history, with 15 scheduled events and plans to add additional programs later. “I’m really excited about the lineup of shows I’ve been able to find for this year,” said Spradlin. “There are some returning favorites, some legendary performers, and several new offerings that I think people will really enjoy. Also, for the first time since the series began, ticket packages tailored to particular interests are available. Tickets and ticket packages are onsale now at www.clctickets.com. (Ticket packages on www.clctickets.com are listed under "Subscriptions" at the top of the page.) Box Office information is listed as Tickets in the sidebar. Central Lakes College Theatre
