August 18, 2010 Connect Special

    Season ticket renewals are underway for the 2010-2011 season at Georgia Southern University's Performing Arts Center which will feature a diverse blend of music, dance and dramatic performances including "Stomp!" and "A Chorus Line."
    "Fans of theatre and music have much to look forward to as we begin our new season," said Performing Arts Center (PAC) Director Albert Pertalion. "We are thrilled to bring performers and performances that have electrified crowds around the world here to Statesboro, and we urge people to buy their tickets early to these in-demand shows."
    The season opens Friday, Sept.24 with the return of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. This string-band trio was such a hit at the PAC two years ago that audiences requested to have them return.
    "Champions of the Dance," the stage version of the hit television series "Dancing with the Stars," will appear Oct. 8.
    Many of the same dancers and the same choreographer from the television series make up this stage performance complete with amazing costumes, sets, and lighting.
    On Nov. 5, "Gershwin on Broadway" will come to the PAC. A pianist and two vocalists will perform some of George Gershwin's most beloved classics from the 1920's and 1930's.
    Christmas comes a little early to the Performing Arts Center on Nov. 18 when baritone vocalist John Berry will performs holiday selections that have made him an area favorite.
    The percussion extravaganza "Stomp!" is guaranteed to be one of the hottest tickets of the season when it arrives March 8, 2011.
    This musical that originated in London has brought audiences to their feet around the globe. The cast takes ordinary — and extraordinary — objects and turns them into instruments.
    "Tango Buenos Aeries" brings the world's most romantic and seductive dance to the PAC on March 24.
    The season ends with the classic Broadway smash "A Chorus Line" April 12. This musical about a New York audition has thrilled audiences for decades. Fans who want to see this show are encouraged to purchase their tickets early.
    Season ticket renewals will be on sale through Aug. 25, and new season ticket subscriptions are available beginning Aug. 31. Single tickets will go on sale Sept. 14.
    For more information or to purchase tickets, call the Performing Arts Center box office at (912) 478-7999 or visit www.georgiasouthern.edu/pac.
