Poplar Bluff, Missouri -The Three Rivers College Patrons of the Arts Society has revealed its 2013-14 season, which will include the return of the Moscow Festival Ballet, an Eagles tribute contest, bluegrass duo Dailey and Vincent, and three children’s shows. The Patrons also announced that it would be expanding their children’s show offerings with performances in Sikeston and Dexter.
All shows will be performed at the Tinnin Fine Arts Center on the Three Rivers campus in Poplar Bluff. All three children’s shows will also have performances at the Sikeston Field House and the Dexter High School Auditorium. Because of the support of donors to the Patrons of the Arts Society, ticket price for each main show will remain at $10, and ticket prices for the children’s shows have been reduced to $5.“This is an outstanding lineup that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes,” said Robert Cook, Director of the Tinnin Fine Arts Center. “We’ve tried to keep the shows affordable, especially the children’s shows, so that we can make it easier for people to try new things and see new shows.”
“The Patrons of the Arts is dedicated to bringing quality live performances to Southeast Missouri,” said Mary Libla, chair of the Patrons of the Arts Society, a non-profit organization that raises funds to bring special music, art, drama, dance, literature, lecture and film events to the community through Three Rivers College. “These are the same performers you might see in St. Louis or Memphis or even New York. I encourage everyone who enjoys these shows to help out by joining the Patrons of the Arts, or sponsoring a show. It’s that kind of community support that helps us continue bringing high-class entertainment to Southeast Missouri.”
The Patrons of the Arts 2013-2014 season will include the following performances. For more information on the performances or to order tickets online, visit trcc.edu/tinnin.
