The 2020-21 Performing Arts Series season celebrates our 60th anniversary with six outstanding performances.

Virtual fall events

Our fall performances offer a series of one-of-a kind virtual arts experiences. Each event is designed to move us beyond a traditional performance and into a new experience altogether – something that is only possible in the context of a global pandemic.
