Beyond Onstage: In 2010, the Orange City Arts Council began its summer series in the park, Onstage Orange City. From Onstage Orange City came the name for the fall-winter-spring series, which began in 2013: Beyond Onstage. It’s a series of five acclaimed performers: music, dance, theatre, comedy… including musicians from Quebec, Israel, Brazil and China; a Second City improv show; urban Latin dance theatre from Los Angeles; the opera Cinderella; Cashore Marionettes; and Harlem Quartet. Shows are held at the new Unity Christian Knight Center and the Northwestern College’s Christ Chapel.
The second season is even better than the first. Season passes may be purchased at Dove Christian Bookstore or the Orange City Arts Council office, or online here: $35 for adults for five shows; $20 for students. After October 1, season passes are $45 adults, $30 students. (At the door: $10 adults, $7 students, free for children age 5 & under.)
