4 BROADWAY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS LETTER FROM DAVID FISCHER

Welcome to the Broadway Center! The 2018-19 season is a historic one for us, as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Pantages Theater. The theater will reopen in November after extensive renovations, including a center aisle and new seats. Keep an eye out for additional LISA MONET PHOTOGRAPHY announcements and surprises, as we get closer to the grand opening celebration. We are launching the season with a special presentation of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition. The only stop in the northwest, this installation showcases the brilliance of arguably one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements; bringing meticulous, life-size prints of the paintings to eye-level, you will find yourself closer to the artwork than ever before—a better view up close than what you'll see in Italy! September also welcomes the Chinese Warriors of Peking to the Rialto Theater, with their martial arts and acrobatic feats, in an evening that’s fun for the whole family. Then We Banjo 3 and Skerryvore perform their unique celtic-bluegrass music—bringing toe-tapping Americana, rock, and traditional Scottish and Irish music to the stage. Finally, we celebrate Halloween with the Disney favorite, Hocus Pocus. We believe that live events, as the pulse of the city, radiate a vital, joyful, transformative energy. We look forward to welcoming you to experiencing art, community, and life together in vibrant downtown Tacoma.
