Last night, the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas announced their sixth season performance lineup for 2015-2016 to patrons and the press.
The announcement included several acts in their Hylton Family Series, like ventriloquist Kevin Johnson, their Hylton Presents performances, such as The Midtown Men, and a slew of Matinee Idylls, including the Echos Chamber Choir.
According to Rick Davis, Executive Director of the Hylton Center, the announcement event has doubled in size from last year.
“By the end of our current year in June, well over 100,000 people will have taken advantage of the Center’s amazing capabilities, whether as an audience member for a great concert, a performer in a play, a guest at an art gallery reception, a business person or civic leader at a meeting, or a happy bride and groom,” said Davis in a release.
The Hylton Center has also recently garnered national attention, after a popular country group, Dailey & Vincent, filmed a performance on-site. The taping of the performance has since been released nationally by PBS and is being seen in homes across the United States.
During the event, members of the Hylton Center staff stated that residents can now subscribe, purchase tickets and manage their purchases at the Hylton Center all online.
When Potomac Local spoke to patrons, they stated that they were happy that a high-quality arts venue was so close to home.
“There’s selection and variety…and because they have such a diverse variety, we come here. Over the years, we’ve found that we can get equally good talent at either this venue or the one in Fairfax. And we can avoid the hassle of having to drive down to D.C.,” said Peter Coughlan, a Fairfax resident.
Alan Yates, a Prince William resident, said he that the value he gets from the Hylton Center performances rival well-known venues in D.C., including the Kennedy Center.
“It’s great for people to be exposed to the arts…we’ve been to many shows here, and many shows in Fairfax. And the shows are just fantastic. When you look at the price you’d pay at the Kennedy Center, this is a tremendous value for your money. A lot of people just don’t realize what’s at their doorstep,” Yates said.
Subscriptions for the Hylton Presents and Hylton Family Series go on sale today.
