It’s shaping up to be another season of standout performances for the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center highlighted by Asleep at the Wheel, several tribute artists and Larry Gatlin.
The center’s 26th season gets underway later this month with a free outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” during sunset at Appling Lake, which surrounds the theater.
BPACC had more sold-out performances last season any season it its past, and Michael Bollinger, the theater’s artistic director, expects similar or better ticket sales this year.
