Announces 2024-25 Presenting Season!
From Stephen McCandless, Craterian Performances Executive Director.
This October, as we begin our 2024-2025 season, the Craterian Theater will celebrate its 100th anniversary. What a milestone, and what a legacy we safeguard here at Craterian Performances! And as is the case with any centurion, just imagine the stories the Craterian could tell. Indeed, it would be impossible to recount all that has transpired at 23 South Central over the past century. Even our best historians would come up short. But I can give you a glimpse of some of the things that have happened since the theater’s $5.2mm renovation in 1996.
For instance, I can tell you there have been over a million admissions to over 2,000 events. I can tell you that stars of stage, screen and concert hall perform on our stage, as do treasured local performing arts groups such as the Rogue Valley Symphony, Rogue Valley Chorale, and Youth Symphony of Southern Oregon. I can tell you that we host weddings, baby showers, anniversaries and funerals, and that business meetings, board retreats and training sessions are all familiar to us. Films have been screened and films have been made on our stage. I can tell you that we produce the largest and most prolific teen theater program in the region. I can tell you that we’re always looking for new ways to engage with our community through original projects such as the Silver Stars Talent Show and Next Stage Theater Company. In other words, Craterian Performances has delivered on its promise to reopen the Craterian as a dynamic, state-of-the-art, cultural force and economic engine for the Southern Oregon region.
Craterian Performances brings the following nationally and internationally touring shows to the Craterian Theater at the Collier Center, Medford.
