Five years ago in 2011, a $50 million performing arts center opened on the Folsom Lake College campus. Perched on the side of a prominent hill in Folsom, the venue held three distinct stages under one roof. It promised both a home for regional arts organizations and a venue for international touring artists. It was to be an arts laboratory for students and campus faculty alike; for the broader community, the facility was to be a jewel in its crown. The opening performance on February 11 was, fittingly, the national tour of "A Chorus Line," the beloved Broadway play celebrating those hearty souls who pursue a life on stage.

The national tour of the Broadway musical CHICAGO is coming to Folsom, but not until August.  On Wednesday afternoon the Harris Center received notice from the show's tour management of the need to reschedule the Folsom engagement's seven performances originally planned for March 3-6.  By Friday, theatres on the west coast had received confirmation of new performance dates in August and the Harris Center began contacting its ticket holders about the change.
