Performing and Fine Arts 2007-2008 Professional Artists Tour Season at the CenterStage

The curtain is about to go up on another season of artistic adventure in the CenterStage at the Reston Community Center. This year,

The Reston Community Center serves the social, recreational and cultural needs of the Reston community. We host some 65 professional arts events annually. Our 300-seat, professionally-staffed and equipped proscenium theater is home base for nine community arts organizations.

“ Reston's CenterStage… is a little gem of a theater, very intimate with only 290 seats and some of the best acoustics in the area. I'd expected The Peace Train's horn section to drown everything out, but the sound was very full yet balanced. I also was surprised that there were no keyboards and expected to hear a "sonic hole" in the arrangements, but the mix was rich and full even without the keyboards. If you want to experience great performances at close range, CenterStage is the place to do it! –Liz Milner, The Green Man Review

“At Hunters Woods Village Center…swing through the plaza to the Reston Community Center and catch a performance at the Center Stage. The venue offers dance, theater and musical performances as well as lectures by both local and world-renowned artists. (I even performed once as a young, budding dancer, but that's a whole different story.)” – Willona Sloan, The Washington Post
