CENTERPOINT ACADEMY
Making A Dramatic Difference
The CenterPoint Academy motto is “You Belong Here,” and nobody knows that better than the 716 people, ages 3-18, that we train in performing arts. What we really teach them, however, is how to be the awesomest version of themselves.
While the performing arts training, we offer is top-notch, taught by the best local working artists, the end result for the vast majority of our students isn’t the Broadway stage.
Instead, we use the arts to teach lessons that matter in any facet of life – confidence, discipline, leadership, self-esteem, teamwork, friendship, and creativity. Our students learn these universally-relevant skills and become assets wherever they go – at school, at work, at church, and at home.
The Academy provides unique performance opportunities to these students on the CenterPoint Theatre stages, performing for more than 15,000 people per year, in over 125 performances of more than a dozen different shows.

FROM THE DIRECTOR
Growing up, my mom had a major crush on Errol Flynn and loved Olivia de Havilland in the 1938 film, “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” The music from that film, written by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, has been performed by orchestras all over the world. You will hear some of this music tonight along with some more untraditional selections. When I was 18, I was lucky enough to perform the role of Maid Marian at City Rep’s historic Utah Theater. What did this experience teach me about these great literary characters? I learned that it is no accident that Robin Hood is a classic literary character who has been depicted countless times in books, movies, and adaptations of this story. He is noble. He serves the poor and the needy. He is strong, courageous, romantic, a capable leader, and oh, so likable! In this completely off-the-wall production, we get a completely different spin on this story, along with a taste of Robin’s egotistical side!
We have had so much fun putting this together…we have laughed a lot and hope you will, too!! I hope you get to see the show at least twice because it gets funnier each time you watch it!
The first time you see it, you may say to yourself, what in the world am I watching? Just sit back, toss out all of your expectations for a “classic” play, watch these amazing young performers do their thing, and let yourself go with the fun – Trust me, you’ll laugh! A lot!
I would like to acknowledge the wonderful young people in this production whose good manners, strong work ethic, and overall kindness to myself and one another has truly been an example to me and has inspired me. Thank you to this amazing cast for your goodness! A special thanks to Megan Call who has been never endingly kind and exceptionally efficient, along with being a great choreographer – yes, she is multi-talented! Sawyer has been a wonderful assistant stage manager for the project and Lucy was a lifesaver to step in while Megan was gone. A shout out to the production staff at CenterPoint – Janell, Shannon, Jordan and Marilyn. Thank you for lending us your amazing artistic talents! Thanks especially to Wendy and Jana for welcoming me and making me feel at home. Also, thank you Spencer Hohl for training us in stage combat and choreographing our fight scenes – we learned so much from you! A final thanks to my wonderful spouse Nels for supporting me again on another project.
Enjoy this somewhat (emphasis on somewhat) classic tale of Robin Hood! Huzzah!! Huzzah!!

2022 BARLOW SEASON
2022 BARLOW SEASON
We are thrilled about our 2022 Season at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre. Whether you are a long-time part of our CPT family or a new season ticket holder, the lineup for 2022 is packed with shows that will keep you coming back again and again.
They say laughter is the best medicine, so get ready for a much-needed dose delivered up in The Play That Goes Wrong. Set in the 1920s, the actors of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society do their level best to uphold the time-honored adage that “the show must go on” as they present to you the opening night of “Murder at Haversham Manor”. Quickly things go from bad to disastrous, and with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse who can’t seem to play dead, and actors who not only trip over their lines, but everything else on stage, you have the recipe for a riotous dose of healing laughter!
It’s IMPOSSIBLE not to love the Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. This beautifully staged show is filled with romance, hope, unforgettable melodies, and of course, magic. It’s the perfect show for the whole family!
Big Fish is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about fathers and sons, and the stories we use to define and shape our lives. The music is as beautiful and powerful as the story, and you just may walk away with some new favorites.
Go Go Go Joe! One of the most enduring musicals of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers, and the envy of their favored brother with his coat of many colors. Written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, this show is a musically eclectic journey masterfully told using different genres of memorable tunes you’ll be singing long after. Joseph is a great show for the entire family.
Bright Star is a beautifully written musical about a young woman growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We see her first as a young carefree woman and then watch how her life changes as she becomes a well-to-do magazine editor 22 years later. Her story is inevitably woven with that of an idealistic young man named Billy, with whom she shares a mysterious connection. The bluegrass score, (written by actor Steve Martin and Edie Brickell) provides a rich musical palette with which this story is painted.
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to see Elf, The Musical. This wildly popular musical is packed with all the magical ingredients needed for the perfect start to your Christmas season. Come along with Buddy the Elf on his adventure to find his dad and ultimately save Christmas!
