Dear Friend,
Are you a fan of Grey’s Anatomy, Wheel
of Fortune or The Bachelor? Do you stay at
home every night on your sofa to watch your
favorite television show? Let me entice you
to become immersed in a live performance
at the Alan Jay Wildstein Center for the
Performing Arts, the No. 1 entertainment
venue in the Heartland since 1984.
Live performances are unpredictable,
exciting, and unique. It’s an exhilarating,
once-in-a-lifetime event that is shared by the
entire audience, enjoying camaraderie and
artistry. I consistently meet good people who have lived in or visited
Highlands County for 10 years or more and they have never felt the
thrill of the curtain going up on a Broadway show or shivered when
a Grammy Award-winning star hits those high notes in our beautiful
1,460-seat theatre.
We deliver memorable performances and I personally invite you
to get off your sofa and join us.
Love rock-n-roll? Come for Neil Berg’s 50 Years of Rock & Roll,
The Hit Men, or Phil Dirt and The Dozers.
Are you a musical theater fan? Get your tickets for the awesome
performances of “Bandstand: The Musical” and “An American in
Paris.”
Do you appreciate music? Experience the Florida Orchestra,
pianist Jim Brickman, or one of our traditional jazz concerts like the
New Victrola Dixieland Jazz Band.
Dance fans will love the Tamburitzans and Motown with a Twist.
Bring the kids to shows like Artrageous II, Blue Jupiter,
Dino-Light or Cinderella.
We offer a wide variety of performances, free parking, affordable
admission prices, comfortable seating, and a friendly atmosphere.
Groups of 12 or more can save up to 50% on some shows, so grab
your family, neighbors, and coworkers and come see a show!
Get up. Get out. Get thrilled at a live performance of Bill Engvall,
Lee Ann Womack, or Merry Country Christmas!
May fun fill your evenings,
Cindy Garren, M.F.A.
