Tickets are $25 Members, $35 Non-Members, and $10 Students, and events take place in Crooked Tree Arts Center’s theater, unless otherwise noted.

“If I had a crystal ball, I would see our 2019-20 season bringing sell-out crowds just like last season,” said Chris Brown, member of CTAC’s Performing Arts Committee. “Our committee has worked hard to make another smash season, which kicks off in just a few months. I’m looking forward to working our concerts and hearing rave reviews again.”

The 2019-20 Performing Arts Series lineup follows below:

Paul Vornhagen Quartet – Friday, October 4 – 7:30 p.m.

Alan Turner – Friday, November 1 – 7:30 p.m.

Alan Turner’s rich baritone vocals and mainstream country songs speak of loves gained and lost, often times with a sly twist of humor mixed in. His Steel Horse Band has been thrilling crowds with a distinctly high energy country and pumping rock ‘n roll sound.
