September CCA performances to include Kingston Trio, Melissa Etheridge
The Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine is offering a variety of performances throughout the 2018–19 season.
September events will include a broadcast of a murder mystery and several musical groups.
National Theatre Live will bring “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” to the CCA at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7. Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain, exceptional at mathematics while ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. His detective work to investigate the murder of Mrs. Shears’ dog takes him on a frightening journey that upturns his world.
Rock band Blackberry Smoke will perform at the CCA as part of their Find a Light Tour at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14. Whether pursuing the dream by logging hundreds of thousands of miles on America’s highways and abroad or relentlessly exploring the many facets of its unique art form, the Atlanta quintet is always on the move.
Legendary folk icons The Kingston Trio come to the CCA at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15. Marking their 60th anniversary, the performance will take the audience on an iconic musical journey to a time when folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture — and the top of the music charts.
Melissa Etheridge will take the stage at the CCA for her “Yes I Am” 25th Anniversary Tour at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29. Melissa Etheridge stormed onto the American rock scene in 1988 with the release of her critically acclaimed, self-titled debut album. Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Etheridge has remained one of America’s favorite female singer-songwriters for more than two decades.
