Munster, IN (March 13, 2020) After Indiana Governor Holcomb’s directive announced Thursday, March 12 about gatherings over 250 people being prohibited, Theatre at the Center and The Center for Visual and Performing Arts has made the decision to suspend all public events and performances at our theatre through April 29, effective immediately. Theatre at the Center has canceled all the remaining mainstage performances of “Almost Heaven: John Denver’s America” March 13-22. In addition, the following special event performances have also been canceled: Creole Stomp concert (March 27), Waco Brothers concert (March 28), Purdue Varsity Glee Club concert (March 29), John-Mark McGaha tribute to Stevie Wonder concert presented by Artist Lounge Live (April 4). All Theatre KIDS classes have been suspended, as has the Theatre for Young Audience run of “Aladdin” scheduled for April 13-19, and The Prince and Princess Party in the CVPA Dining Room on April 18. The TATC 30th Anniversary Big Band Concerts and Dinner on April 18 have also been canceled. The Ultimate Doo-Wop Show on April 5 presented by Henry Farag has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date to be announced. The safety and health of our patrons, performers and staff is our highest priority. As a nonprofit organization, we are asking all ticketholders if they would like to convert the value of these tickets to a tax deductible donation to help offset the Theatre at the Center’s significant loss of revenue during this difficult period. We are also prepared to issue a gift certificate in the amount of your purchase that will be good for any of our future performances. At this time, all events after April 29 will remain in place. For questions about Theatre at the Center cancellations, please contact the box office at 219-836-3255. During this time, the CVPA lobby and box office will also be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, closed on weekends through April 29. Food service operations as provided by Chef Joe Trama and Trama catering at The Center for Visual and Performing Arts, including the weekly Sunday Champagne Brunch and the Easter Brunch seatings on April 12, have also been canceled. Patrons and guests should continue to visit www.TheatreAtTheCenter.com and www.CVPA.org for further developments. Dining events and food service questions can be directed to Trama Catering at (219) 836-1930, Ext. 2.
The Waco Brothers bring their unique blend of county, rock-a-billy, punk, and rock to our stage! They been traveling the world turning every performance into an on stage celebration. Join us in welcoming them to NWI for their first performance in the region!
The Waco Brothers have been standing at the corner of punk urgency and Three-Chords-And-The-Truth country for 20 years now. They started at a time when it was deemed patently absurd to mix the two types of music, but the Waco knew the score; they are different sides of the same coin, the personal wrapped in the political. And instead of travelling calculated creative boulevards during their career, the Waco Brothers have explored dark alleys and winding gravel paths through nine releases, all with the headlights off and the pedal to the metal, worrying (or not worrying) about end results later.
