Central Arizona College Community Events proudly announces its 2024-2025 season.
With the ongoing closure and rebuilding of the Pence Center for the Arts at the college’s Signal Peak Campus, the 2024-2025 season highlights smaller local events that will be distributed between four of CAC’s campuses: Signal Peak Campus in Coolidge, Maricopa Campus in the City of Maricopa, San Tan Campus in San Tan Valley and Superstition Mountain Campus in Apache Junction. CAC campus locations and directions can be found at www.centralaz.edu/locations.
In the Premiere Events series, Community Events welcomes Tony Vicich, Magician Eric Gilliam, Tribute Barbershop Quartet, Perceptives Mentalism and local musicians John & Julie. These performances will be held at various campus locations during the fall and early spring.
Community Events is grateful for community partners who will host some of the larger events. Two such events are The Sons of the Pioneers concert in January and the James Fernando Jazz Trio in February. Both concerts will be presented at The First Presbyterian Church of Casa Grande.
The popular Speaker Series will continue with local musician and storyteller Nancy Elliott presenting her workshop The Heart of It All and newcomer Heather Dzcicek who will take on the topic of how to talk with people who have cancer in her talk How Not to Say Dumb Sh*t.
The CAC Music and Entertainment Industry Technology (EIT) departments will continue to entertain audiences. EIT students will perform their Rocktacular concerts at the Signal Peak Campus while the CAC Community Band and Orchestra will hold concerts at Casa Grande Union High School in November and April. The CAC Handbell Choir and Choir will conduct winter and spring concerts at The First Presbyterian Church of Casa Grande in December and May. Additionally, the CAC music department is proud to participate in the first Casa Grande Community Veteran’s Day Concert in November, also at The First Presbyterian Church of Casa Grande.
