Central Florida Community Arts Launches 2021 Summer/Fall Season.
ORLANDO, Fla. (June 2021) - Central Florida Community Arts today announced new summer and fall events and performances for all ages. The new season will include musicals, concerts, and more, with programs that allow people of all skill levels to participate.
Events and performances occurring this season include Topsy Turvy Masquerade and You Make Me Feel with the Community Choir, Disney’s Frozen Jr., The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Meet Me in St. Louis with the Children & Youth Arts Programs, Ragtime, Peter and the Starcatcher, and Rachel with the Theatre, and Ritmo del Sol with the Big Band. The Symphony Orchestra will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World’s opening with a concert entirely of Disney music titled Symphonic Disney. The CFCArts Christmas extravaganza will also return this year with A Holiday Homecoming, featuring the choir, orchestra, and dance company. CFCArts staff and volunteers are eager to share their creativity with the community through exciting events that aren’t to be missed.
In addition to performances, CFCArts will provide free classes and workshops as part of Arts Access, private lessons through the Academy, and other interactive opportunities in the new season. One series of classes in July will create an “Art Passport” with crafts themed after ancient civilizations. Other activities, such as creative writing groups and acting intensives, will provide a creative outlet and a chance to grow artistically.
COVID-19 greatly impacted the arts and prevented many artists from showcasing their work. For Central Florida Community Arts, the pandemic meant numerous shows, programs, and classes planned for 2020 were canceled or delayed. However, CFCArts will kick off the summer with many opportunities for local artists to express themselves and for the Central Florida community to experience the arts again.
Tickets and more information about each event can be found at CFCArts.com/Events.
