Join us during this extraordinary production season by attending one - or more - of the following 2015 performances:

"The Trip to Bountiful," September 25 - October 4, Pease Auditorium
"The Trip to Bountiful" is the poignant story of Mrs. Watts, an aging widow living with her son and daughter-in-law in a three-room flat in Houston, Texas in 1953. Fearing that her presence may be an imposition on others, and chafing under the watchful eye of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Watts imagines that if she can get away and return to her old home in the town of Bountiful, she is sure to regain her strength, dignity and peace of mind.

"The Phantom of the Opera," November 13 - 22, Dale F. Halton Theater
CPCC Theatre, together with CPCC Opera Theatre and CPCC Dance Theatre, will join forces to present Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera," a musical that has captivated audiences for more than 30 years. This classic Broadway production tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House. Exercising a reign of terror, over all who inhabit it, the Phantom falls madly in love with an innocent soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents.

"I Love a Piano: The Music of Irving Berlin," February 12 - 21, Dale F. Halton Theater
"I Love a Piano" is the celebration of the music and lyrics of one of America's most prolific songwriters - Irving Berlin. Containing more than 60 of Irving Berlin's most beloved songs, the show includes classics such as "Blue Skies," "There's No Business Like Show Business," "Puttin' on the Ritz," "White Christmas," "God Bless America" and "I Love a Piano."

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," April 8 - 17, Pease Auditorium
In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.

Individual and season tickets are now on sale to all performances. Season tickets are $56 for adults and $52 for seniors (restrictions apply).
