Tickets are now on sale for the upcoming 2017-18 performance season at Staller Center for the Arts, with highlights ranging from the renowned Emerson String Quartet, to jazz with The Hot Sardines, to unique theatrical extravaganzas including the Martial Artists and Acrobats of Tianjin, China.
“With the season in place, we are reaching out to loyal patrons and adding programs to entice first time visitors. It’s always great to hear newcomers remark ‘I’m so glad I finally came to Staller Center’” said Alan Inkles, director of the Staller Center.
“This season we have rising stars—the county singer Stephanie Quayle and the pop/rock musical ensemble Sons of Serendip, winners on ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Our audience will see we are bringing back many exceptional artists in proven genres, but they will also see fresh talent with the new acts we’re bringing in.”
