Season 27 begins with Latin and Caribbean rhythms and traditions, then ends with the sublime sounds of guitar strings. In between is an exciting range of the performing arts. Beginning on March 7, Alegria Real brings our neighbors south of the border a little closer to Ponca City. The Roustabouts present an evening of excitement on April 11. For families and kids this July 9, the Sugar Free Allstars grace the Poncan stage. The Great Big Band returns on Sept. 26 at the Hutchins. Closing the season on Nov. 7 is Oklahoma’s own Edgar Cruz.
 

 

Performers will also appear in area schools and senior living centers.
