King Center Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary

The Maxwell C. King Center for Performing Arts is pleased to announce its 25th anniversary of excellent performing arts and entertainment on the Space Coast! “As we embark on the next 25 years, we are planning a series of fundraisers that will celebrate the legacy of our wonderful facility and raise support for its outstanding programs,” said Executive Director, Steve Janicki.

The signature fundraising event for the theatre is the 25th Anniversary Celebration. This exclusive event package includes an invitation to a private “Cocktail Kickoff Party” at the home of Phil and Jeanne Farmer, a ticket to see the legendary Boston Pops Orchestra presenting The Barbara Streisand Songbook with Keith Lockhart and Ann Hampton Callaway on March 2nd, a post show coffee and dessert meet-and-greet with Boston Pops director Keith Lockhart (pending approval), and a ticket to the musical Rock of Ages on Wednesday, April 10th (actual King Center’s 25th anniversary). It also includes admission to an ‘80s themed pre-show party on April 10th. Various contribution levels are available for this signature event.
