Together, we have created something very special here in the Mississippi Delta. For 22 years now, we have been boldly inspiring audiences and future generations with the best of the performing arts.

This season, we continue in that tradition and also begin in a new direction as we expand our programming. Recognizing a need to provide affordably-priced opportunities for our youngest patrons, we are pleased to introduce the FAMILY SERIES. Performances in this series are aimed at a variety of ages, and offer an opportunity to introduce a love of the arts at an early age.

Our audience has asked for more classical music programming, and we are excited to debut the RECITAL HALL SERIES. Featuring ticket prices that include a social hour with hors d’oeuvres, we hope to provide patrons with a space to come together prior to enjoying a performance.

From national Broadway tours to concerts by award-winning artists to dance perfornances to children’s programs, I think you will agree that we have something for everyone in the upcoming season.

Thank you for your continued support of the Bologna Perfoming Arts Center. If you would like to be a part of ensuring a vibrant future for the arts in the Delta, please visit page 17 or call me at (662) 846-4625 to learn more about our Annual Membership Program and how your gifts can make a difference.

TRAVIS TRITT WITH SPECIAL GUEST LUKE COMBS

THE AVETT BROTHERS

THURSDAY • SEPTEMBER 15, 2016 • 7:30PM • MAIN STAGE

TUESDAY • OCTOBER 4, 2016 • 7:30PM • MAIN STAGE

TRAVIS TRITT | More than 25-years after Travis Tritt launched his music career, the Grammy award-winning artist continues to sell-out shows, top sales charts and stay true and relevant to Country music fans across the globe. A Marietta, Ga. native, Travis Tritt is dubbed one of “The Class of ‘89,” which included Country music superstars Garth Brooks, Clint Black and Alan Jackson; all of whom dominated the charts in the early ‘90s. Among his eleven studio albums and numerous charted singles are nineteen Top 10 hits, including “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde,” “Love Of A Woman” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” His twenty-five year career has produced millions in album sales, two Grammy award wins and multiple No. 1 singles on the Country radio charts.

When you’re receptive to the forces around you, you’ll notice there’s something powerful in the air. It’s that feeling of inspiration to which GRAMMY nominated Americana folk-rock band The Avett Brothers consistently remain open. It’s a spirit that courses through everything they do.

The Avett Brothers release their ninth album, “True Sadness,” on June 24, 2016. Over the past 16 years, over three thousand shows, eight albums, and hundreds of thousands of miles later — somewhere along the way, the line between the pursuit of music and what The Avett Brothers recognized as their daily lives faded, then evaporated altogether, and their songs have become increasingly reflective in their nature — open, honest, and to some extent, autobiographical.

The Avett Brothers’ narrative folk-rock tells bigger stories about what it means to be Southern, to be American, to be alive. The Avett Brothers combines bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, indie rock, honkytonk and ragtime — producing a unique sound that delights audiences of all ages.

Called “one of the most promising young talents in country music” by Country Music North, Luke Combs’ unapologetic style and fearless vocal abilities is beginning to cause quite a stir in Nashville.

THURSDAY • OCTOBER 20, 2016 • 7:30PM • MAIN STAGE

SUNDAY • NOVEMBER 6, 2016 • 3:00PM • FAMILY SERIES

MAVIS STAPLES | There are few living musicians who can lay claim to being the voice of America’s conscience, and even fewer who continue to make vital music. For six decades, Mavis Staples has been the solid rock of American music. Alongside her family group, the Staple Singers, Mavis has managed to transform herself as she goes, yet never alter.

Mavis is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner and a National Heritage Fellowship Award recipient. VH1 named her one of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll and Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. With the release of Mavis Staples’s new album Livin’ On A High Note, she continues to gain momentum, referencing and drawing from her past while taking the music to fresh places.

THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA | The Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. Celebrated by The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and winners of five Grammy® Awards, they have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 60 years and shows no signs of diminishing.

Longevity and major awards aside, The Blind Boys have earned praise for their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by acclaimed songwriters such as Curtis Mayfield, Ben Harper, Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits. Their performances have been experienced by millions on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, the Grammy® Awards telecast, 60 Minutes, and on their own holiday PBS Special. The Blind Boys’ live shows are roof- raising musical events that appeal to audiences of all cultures, as evidenced by an international itinerary that has taken them to virtually every continent.

Don’t miss Mermaid Theatre of Novia Scotia’s acclaimed composite of storybook favorites! Brown Bear, Brown Bear & Other Treasured Stories by Eric Carle brings together old favorites and new friends. The hour-long production showcases the imaginative blend of innovative puppetry and striking scenic effects that has won international acclaim. The Very Hungry Caterpillar joins the whimsical menagerie drawn from the pages of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? The heartwarming father and daughter quest for an unusual plaything, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me offers a splendid introduction to the wonderment of the lunar cycle.

Known for their incredible athleticism and stunning ensemble work, Parsons Dance, a New York City based dance company brings exuberance, joy and passion to any stage. Flawlessly fusing the gestures and movements that comprise modern dance with the discipline and precision of a classical dance company, Parsons Dance is internationally renowned and quintessentially American. With a vast body of work, Parsons Dance is one of the most successful, enduring and prolific company’s performing today. Always a fan favorite.

ELF The Musical is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, discover his true identity, and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.

The New York Times says that ELF is “SPLASHY, PEPPY, SUGAR-SPRINKLED HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT!” USA Today calls ELF, “ENDEARINGLY GOOFY!” Variety proclaims, “ELF is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!”

Based on the beloved 2003 New Line Cinema hit, ELF features songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone).

42ND STREET

TUESDAY • FEBRUARY 28, 2017 • 7:30PM • MAIN STAGE

STOMP is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, and utterly unique—an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered armfuls of awards and rave reviews and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. Year after year, audiences worldwide keep coming back for more of this pulse-pounding electrifying show. As the Boston Globe says, “If you haven’t seen STOMP, GO! If you have seen it, take someone and share the pleasure!” STOMP. See what all the noise is about.

The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as “We’re in the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo,” “Dames,” “I Only Have Eyes For You” and of course “42nd Street.”

Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley’s 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady. When the leading lady breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production will be directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony® Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

In 1955, a 14-year-old black Chicago youth traveled to the Mississippi Delta with country kinfolk and southern cooking on his mind. He walked off the train and into a world he could never understand — a world of thick color lines, of hard-held class systems and unspeakable taboos. Young Emmett crossed that line and stepped into his gruesome fate by whistling at a white woman. This riveting play chronicles the murder, trial and unbelievable confession of the men accused of Till’s lynching. The one-actor, multiple-character original drama is performed by Mike Wiley, a North Carolina-based actor & playwright whose compelling works of documentary theatre yield rich and powerful journeys to milestones and turning points of a cultural history.
