The Covina Center for the Performing Arts Announces Open Summer Season 5/19-23

The Covina Center for the Performing Arts is proud to announce three varied special events on three quickly approaching weekends--May 19 through June 13-- to open the summer season at The Covina Center for the Performing Arts at its newly reconstructed facility at Citrus and Badillo in downtown Covina.

Celebrity illusionists The Edward Twins are set to appear on May 19-23 for a four-night run of "Celebrities On Stage." Anthony and Eddie Edwards, identical twins, perform over 50 celebrity impersonations, recreating the styles of Barbra Streisand, Cher, Neil Diamond, and Elton John, to name just a few. The ‘celebrities' appear complete with iconic costumes, accessories, and hair, in an act that has headlined regularly in Las Vegas and throughout the United States. The Edwards Twins perform May 19, 20, 21, 22 at 8 pm and on May 23 at 2 pm. 

Rick Nijera follows with his "Diary of a Dad Man" on June 4, 5 and 6, and ValLimar Jansen concludes the series with "Sweet Mama String Bean, A Celebration of the Life and Times of Ethel Waters," on June 11, 12, and 13.

"Diverse and quality programming," is how CCPA Executive Director Retha Champion characterized the coming attractions.

Ticket prices for all the events are $35. Tickets may be obtained by calling the box office at 626-331-8133 or by visiting the CCPA website at www.covinacenter.com.
