The Lakewood Cultural Center is will be home to another season of wonder with the newly announced 2016-2017 season.
The new season offers the center's most eclectic mix of music, theater and performances yet.
"We're really excited about what we have for people this year," said Meghan Ruble, the city's marketing and promotions coordinator. "We have a few less performers than usual this year, but we have more repeat performances instead, which is new for us."
Finding an interesting mix is one of the key goals for the center, said Susan Martin, Cultural Center Administrator.
"Hosting a variety of acts is the best way to compliment the local organizations that help host," she said. "We're bringing in some returning acts, and have some new ones we're lucky to see."
Returning performers include jazz greats the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, New York's Aquila Theatre presenting two plays on two separate nights --; "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Murder on the Nile" --; and Timothy P. and the Rocky Mountain Stocking Stuffers for the holidays.
Some of the exciting new performers include Vitaly, an illusionist performing in October, the Cirk La Putyka, a Czech Republic circus putting on a show called "Slapstick Sonata" and jazz singer Alicia Olatuja.
"Last year we had a dance group that people loved because it made them want to dance, so this year we have Las Cafeteras coming," Martin said. "Their performance will have great music, English and Spanish, and room for the audience to dance."
Patrons can purchase an eight-show, four-show and Create Your Own series packs now. Tickets for single shows will be available Aug. 1.
"It's going to be a really fun season," Ruble said. "People should pick a show they typically wouldn't see and go experiment with new arts."
