What You’ll Learn
The programming team is hosting two season overviews, one at 5 p.m. and another at 6 p.m., where they’ll walk through each production so you know what you’re getting before you buy a ticket.
More Than a Preview
Staff will be on hand to talk through the Classroom Series and the Friends program, and to answer questions about accessibility services. Bring your phone if you want hands-on help getting your ticket wallet set up. If you’ve been curious about volunteering, you can learn how to join the volunteer corps or the local crew, and there’s a preview of the upcoming cocktail classes too.

Catch It Before It’s Gone
The exhibition lives a few blocks away at the Alexander Gallery inside the Porter Art Warehouse, 212 N. West Ave. Swing by while you’re downtown to see This Wheel’s Still on Fire: The Legacy of Levon Helm. The exhibition closes Sept. 6, so this is one of the last chances to see it.

Come hungry for options and leave with a season you’re actually excited about.
