With subscription packages still available for the 2019-20 Center Presents Season at the Center for the Performing Arts, tickets for individual 2019 performances will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 9.
Sponsored by Allied Solutions, the season’s first half features names like Kevin James, Lyle Lovett, Trisha Yearwood, Johnny Mathis, Jason Mraz, Elvis Costello, Gladys Knight, Damien Escobar, Wynton Marsalis and Rita Moreno, as well as holiday shows and special evenings with Steve Martin and Martin Short, Monty Python’s John Cleese and the stars of Napoleon Dynamite.
