The Songs of Kander and Ebb
APRIL 12 - MAY 12
Closing the season is a newly reimagined The World Goes ‘Round co-produced with Everyman Theatre and Olney Theatre. The production pays tribute to the many iconic hits…New York, New York, Maybe This Time, Razzle Dazzle, brought to us by composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb, and performed memorably by legends. It will also pay homage to much more of the dynamic duo’s considerable catalogue of lesser known, but not lesser loved, hits. Complete with all the romance, drama, laughs, and showstopping performances you’d expect, this theatre favorite is a thrilling celebration of the quest for love, hope, and survival that we all know so very well.
*Please note that ticketing for this show will be handled by Everyman Theatre & Olney Theatre Center.

Kander and Ebb
JUNE 7 - JUNE 23
As the show opens, a child is terrified by a tropical storm, and the community comes together to comfort her with a story. On an island where people are separated by color and class, the four Gods (Earth, Water, Love, and Death) place a bet. A young girl leaves her humble upbringing to pursue her true love, the Prince, only to be faced with an impossible choice. With Calypso-flavored music and fantastical storytelling, Once on This Island is a celebration of hope and kindness that will nourish your soul.

AS YOU WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE ANYWHERE ELSE!
The bodyguard
AUGUST 2 - AUGUST 23
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. In 2023, ArtsCentric audiences will also experience a version of Cinderella unlike any other. The timeless tale, over two thousand years old, has origins rooted in African culture. ArtsCentric’s winter staging of the production will seek to revive the story’s original narrative, telling the tale through an African lens.
