Before the “Million Dollar Quartet” got together to make music history, one man was emerging as the face of rock ‘n’ roll, and his name was Buddy. Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story explores the life and music of one of rock 'n' roll's pioneers, from his humble beginnings in Lubbock, Texas, to his meteoric rise to fame. With hits like "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day," this musical captures the essence of Buddy's unique sound and enduring legacy, and will leave you toe-tapping and hand-clapping all the way home!

Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story

California State University, Long Beach

Bold, theatrical, and timelessly relevant, Man of La Mancha is a masterwork of musical theatre that explores the thin line between reality and illusion. Set in the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition, playwright and tax collector Miguel de Cervantes mounts a passionate defense of his life’s work by transforming his fellow prisoners into the characters from the beloved story of Don Quixote. With its stirring score - including the iconic anthem “The Impossible Dream” - and its powerful message of courage, hope, and unyielding idealism, Man of La Mancha challenges us to see the world not as it is, but as it should be.
