J.E. Broyhill Civic Center Announces 2019-2020 Showcase of Stars

Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s J.E. Broyhill Civic Center has announced the lineup for its 2019-2020 Showcase of Stars. This season will feature several award-winning musical acts and new shows from Foothills Performing Arts, the resident theatre group for the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center.

Following is a schedule of events for the season:

FPA Presents “Drinking Habits 2” by Tom Smith
Sept. 12-14, 2019
Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The sequel to last season’s hit comedy! The Sisters of Perpetual Sewing miss the excitement of the old days when they were saving convents and reuniting long-lost families. So when they learn that the orphanage where Paul and Kate grew up is in peril, they can't wait to come to the rescue. Everyone pitches in to mount a play to raise money, but it's no easy feat when this cast of zany characters get up to their usual shenanigans. The merry mix-ups multiply in this warm and winsome farce that stands on its own whether you saw the original or not. Tickets for the show are $14 for adults; $12 for students and $7.50 for children 12 and under.

Mark O’Connor Band
Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.

Mark O’Connor Band’s very first performance took place at the legendary Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas in 2015. In 2017 – less than a year and a half later – they took home the Grammy® Award for Best Bluegrass Album for their debut recording, Coming Home. In a whirlwind three years, the band has also performed at the Grammy® Awards Premiere Ceremony, received standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Bluegrass Albums chart, and opened for the Zac Brown Band that included two nights at Fenway Park. They have put together shows unlike any other, blending country and pop sensibilities with Americana rawness, bluegrass drive, and chamber music sophistication, one that has begun winning over audiences nationwide. Tickets for the show are $26 for adults and $15 for students/children.

Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder
Oct. 24, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.

Fifteen-time Grammy® Award-winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence of that fact, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact. Together with his amazing bluegrass band, Kentucky Thunder (8-time winners of the IBMA ‘Instrumental Group of the Year’), Ricky Skaggs will present an unforgettable night of his lively, distinctively American form of music! Tickets for the show are $40 for adults and $18.50 for students/children.

Vienna Boys Choir
Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.

No group of child musicians has won more renown than the incomparable Wiener Sängerknaben, founded by Emperor Maximilian I in 1498. Six centuries later, the famed Vienna Boys Choir continues to delight music-lovers across the globe with their purity of tone, distinctive charm and a diverse, crowd pleasing repertoire that encompasses Austrian folk songs and waltzes, classical masterpieces, beloved pop songs, holiday favorites and medieval chant. Gifted musicians with voices of unforgettable beauty, they carry on the Vienna Boys Choir’s illustrious tradition as the world’s preeminent boy choir. Tickets for the show are $30 for adults and $15 for students/children.

FPA Presents “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” Adapted by Jon Jory
Feb. 13-15, 2020
Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The game's afoot and the legendary friendship of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson is born, as they face a quartet of the most confounding crimes to ever cross the threshold of 221B Baker Street. Discover the truth about the surprising secret within an abandoned Christmas goose; the meaning of a coded message from an organization obsessed with the past; the danger that sends a family playing cards to madness; and the web of conspiracy surrounding a governess in an isolated country house. Based on four classic short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a thrilling reminder of why Sherlock Holmes remains eternal. Tickets for the show are $14 for adults; $12 for students and $7.50 for children 12 and under.

Kruger Brothers with Kontras Quartet
Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020 at 7:30 p.m.

Classical, bluegrass and folk music take center stage together as the members of the Kontras Quartet team up with the world-renowned bluegrass group, the Kruger Brothers. The Kontras Quartet, composed of violinists Dmitri Pogorelov and Francois Henkins, violist Ben Weber, and cellist Jean Hatmaker are dedicated to exploring contrasts in music. (“Kontras” is the Afrikaans word for “contrasts.”) However, listening to them perform alongside Jens Kruger, Uwe Kruger and Joel Landsberg, you can easily hear that classical and folk music contrast less than you might think. Tickets for the show start at $22 for adults. Special pricing for students and children available.

FPA Presents “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”
June 18-20, 2020

A progressive white couple's proud liberal sensibilities are put to the test when their daughter brings her black fiance home to meet them in this fresh and relevant stage adaptation of the iconic film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Blindsided by their daughter's whirlwind romance and fearful for her future, Matt and Christina Drayton quickly come to realize the difference between supporting a mixed-race couple in your newspaper and welcoming one into your family, especially in 1967. Will the love between young Joanna and John prevail? With humor and insight, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner begins a conversation sure to continue at dinner tables long after the curtain comes down. Tickets for the show are $14 for adults; $12 for students and $7.50 for children 12 and under.

The J.E. Broyhill Civic Center is also offering an “All-In” Rate of $154.50 that includes one ticket to each show.
