A Christmas Story at The Parker Performing Arts Center: PACE Center

December 3, 2011 By Chrissy Morin Leave a Comment

A new classic Christmas holiday production has come to Parker this week…

A Christmas Story

If you braved the wind and the cold last week for the Mayor’s Tree Lighting you might have gotten to glimpse the stars of the show and see a short scene from the production.

This holiday season, America’s #1 Christmas movie comes to life on the PACE Center stage as a hilarious comedy. You can ask for a Red Ryder BB Gun, but don’t count on it because “you’ll shoot your eye out!”

There are tickets still available for most performances which can be purchased here.

LUMA kicks off the PACE Center Grand Opening Saturday Parker Arts Center

October 26, 2011 By Chrissy Morin Leave a Comment

The PACE Center (Parker Arts Cultural Event Center) opens this weekend in Parker CO.

LUMA will be the first act on the Mainstage with a VIP only show Friday night and a matinee and evening performance on Saturday.

LUMA Shows October 29, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

What is Luma? It’s a light, dance and music extravaganza.

LUMA uses the dark as a canvas and light as the brush to paint a story of how light occurs to humanity. Standing on a lava flow on the ‘edge of the earth’, Marlin, the shows founder, had an epiphany that all life is drawn to light. Like deer in the headlight, a moth to a flame, a seed to the sun, we humans are also inextricably pulled to the light. Source: Luma Theater

The PACE Center shines like a jewel just East of historic downtown Parker on Mainstreet and you’ll want to be a piece of history at this Grand Opening.

Buy your tickets quickly as the evening performance is almost full and the afternoon show is filling up as I type.

Take a look at this video, it will give you an idea of what’s in store for you on Saturday.

PACE Center 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. Parker, CO 80138

Purchase Tickets for LUMA here.
