At times BECKET looms before us like a vast Shakespearean tapestry and at others like a bloated two-hander, but this CPCC Theatre production plays well at Halton Theater, which is really good news as Pease Auditorium bites the dust.

CPCC Theatre has announced its cast for 1776 the Musical.

Celebrating their 50th Anniversary, Davidson Community Players open their Summer season with the Tony Award-Winning Musical, Chicago.

CPCC opens Big River: The Musical Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Roger Miller on Friday February 15th for a two week run in the Halton Theater. Based on Mark Twain's immortal classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Big River sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming. Propelled by an award winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.

Fahrenheit 451: the temperature at which paper ignites and books burn. And that is precisely what the firemen do, in Ray Bradbury's classic novel of the future, FAHRENHEIT 451. They burn books. It is a crime, in this society, to own or read books. Trivial information is good, and knowledge is evil. People receive all of their culture and information through television walls that are built into their houses.
