SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga University Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center (MWPAC) has announced the lineup of artists for the 2024-2025 season.
The season will open on September 22 and run through April 5, 2025.
Headlining performances will include world-class dance companies, Grammy Award-winning artists and internationally recognized theatre performers.
“In this yearlong offering of live events in Spokane’s newest performance venue, we have set the bar high for ourselves. We invite the community to come along for the journey,” says Stephen Cummins, director of the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center.
The season’s series theme is “Dance Lives Here.” The MWPAC is partnering with Gonzaga Dance to premiere a series of performances by acclaimed West Coast dance companies including San Francisco’s BODYTRAFFIC, Alonzo King LINES Ballet and ODC Dance.
The dance productions feature a blend of classical and contemporary-style choreography and compelling storytelling through the art of dance.
In addition to the dance lineup is a world-class jazz series featuring Grammy winners and jazz legends like Dee Dee Bridgewater and Bill Charlap, the international cabaret singer and comedian, MEOW MEOW and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra.
There will also be several performances for families with children.
For the holiday season, the popular dance performance titled “Campana Sobre Campana: Christmas in Mexico!” will be presented by Mariachi Garibaldi De Jaime Cuéllar and Ballet Folklorico Del Rio Grande.
ODC Dance will also bring the classic tale of The Velveteen Rabbit alive through music, dance and narration.
Rounding out the season, the world-renowned company “Actors from the London Stage” will perform Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
In addition, the MWPAC has announced three new ticketing packages designed to offer flexibility, savings and some exclusive benefits. Tickets are available starting August 12, on the MWPAC’s website and at the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center Coughlin Theater.
