The Circle Theatre’s last of its three-part Circle Summer Fundraising Concert series on Wednesday, Sept. 16. The outdoor concert will be at 7 p.m. on the lawn of the Circle Theatre which is the Aquinas College Performing Arts Center located at 1703 Robinson Rd. SE.
The outdoor, family-friendly, socially distant concert will feature the best of West Michigan musicians performing a variety of music. The concerts will take place on the lawn of the Circle Theatre. Patrons are urged to bring a picnic, good friends, and relax while enjoying the music.
Social distancing between groups is required, so feel free to spread out and enjoy the great summer weather! Tickets are $25 and all proceeds go directly to Circle Theatre.
September’s fundraising performance will feature performances by Lisa Knight, Ellie Frances, and Larry Young. Musicians for the performance include Perry Moody, John Parker, and Danny Robinson. Songs will include “What’s Going On,” “Master Blaster,” “Mustang Sally,” “Chain of Fools,” and others.
Circle Theatre is committed to keeping the health and safety of our patrons, volunteers, performers, and staff our top priority. It is because of this, that the decision to postpone our 68th season was made. This extended intermission has left Circle Theatre with the task of raising $200,000 to cover costs during this time. With the support of the community, Circle Theatre has raised $100,000 to date.
