CPCC Theatre to Kick Off 2017-18 Season with THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY

Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) Theatre will kick off its 2017-2018 performance season with "The Bridges of Madison County," September 22 to October 1, in its Dale F. Halton Theater.

Jason Robert Brown and Marsha Norman's "The Bridges of Madison County" captures the lyrical expanse of America's heartland along with the yearning entangled in the eternal question "What if...?" Just like the Meryl Streep film of the same name, this sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross will leave audiences breathless.

With a soaring score and a heartbreaking story, "The Bridges of Madison County" is a touching and powerful start to CPCC Theatre's 2017-2018 season. Don't miss this opportunity to support local theatre; reserve your seat today!
