The State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton, announces its 2021-2022 Season, the 95th season at the historic venue.

Tickets for the new season go on sale to State Theatre Members on Aug. 2, and to the general public on Aug. 9.

“We are thrilled to be offering a 2021-2022 season,” says Shelley Brown, president and CEO of the State Theatre. “We are beyond grateful for the incredible support of our community, and want to get back to doing what we do best … presenting shows in our beautiful and historic theater.

“Our patrons will see some favorites and some new offerings, but can count on wonderful entertainment made even sweeter by the ‘intermission’ we were all forced to take these past months.

“Additionally, 2022 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Freddy Award program, and we hope to celebrate that with as much fanfare as our stage will hold.”

After a long 18 months, the celebrated reopening of the theater will be on Sept. 10 with an Eric Clapton Retrospective by Craig Thatcher Band. The rest of the opening month includes shows such as Big Eyed Phish and the Early Elton Trio.

New shows this fall include Broadway hits “Waitress” and “Beautiful: The Carol King Musical,” as well as the return of the Cat Country 96 Jingle Jam. Christmas at the State Theatre includes Chris Collins & Boulder Canyon: A John Denver Christmas, A Christmas Carol and the Kenny G Holiday Tour.

“New for ’22” features the return of ABBA Mania, The British Invasion, The Flying Karamazov Brothers and Blue Man Group. 2022 will also bring rescheduled Broadway shows such as “RENT,” “Hairspray,” “Jersey Boys” and “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Tickets can be purchased by the general public at the Box Office window at 453 Northampton St., online or by phone beginning at 10 a.m. on Aug. 9.
