Performing Arts

For over 30 years, the West Shore Community College Performing Arts Series has provided top quality entertainment and enjoyment to the people of our area, as well as to countless visitors. Long known for its tradition of providing a showcase for the very best in regional, national and international talent, WSCC's Performing Arts Series boosts the cultural and economic climate of our area.

Musicians, dancers, actors, comics and other artists who have performed in the series over the years have made our little corner of the world a more vibrant place to live. As you know, the arts give us hope and vision for the future, help us interpret the present, allow us to understand and preserve our past, and enable us to laugh and enjoy our lives to the fullest.

The Center Stage Theater is a greatly enhanced venue with an expanded stage area, new sound and lighting equipment and an improved backstage and support areas. This allows us to create and present larger and more dazzling entertainment experiences than ever before.

Be prepared to have the time of your life - to be entertained in the fullest sense of the word and, in the process, you will help us celebrate another wonderful year of serving art lovers and artists!
