Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live. For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses.[more...]

Abbey Road LIVE! is not your typical Beatle look-alike tribute act; don't expect mop-top haircuts and vintage Rickenbacker guitars. Rather, this show is about bringing to life some of the more mature and complex Beatles material in a raw and spirited fashion, while remaining true to the original recordings. Combining attention to detail with a creative exuberance, the band always delights its audiences with its diverse repertoire of hits and more obscure favorites. Show time:  7:30 p.m.[more...]

Grab your hat and boots and come on down - Caleb Klauder and his Country Band are back! Caleb’s authentic and familiar sound feels all at once contemporary and vintage. Raised between Orcas Island and Little Cumberland, Georgia, Caleb took his first steps in Knoxville. If his music could invent a genre, it would be New-school Americana, infusing old standards with Northwest attitude and spinning out modern classics with Southern charm. Caleb writes his rough-hewn lyrics among the chickens scratching in his garden in Portland, Oregon, where he works as a musician and carpenter.[more...]

Classical songs and arias to delight and inspire. Orcas Center welcomes back to the center stage our very own Orcas classical soprano, Sharon Abreu. Sharon will offer a celestial array of songs and arias in English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish, from Mozart and Puccini, to Samuel Barber and Jake Heggie. Special guests will join Sharon for some duets and ensembles and Marianne Lewis will accompany on the piano.[more...]

This is the Orcas Horns as you’ve never heard them before, at their exciting and original best. Show time:  7:30 p.m.
