New Performing Arts Center
Progress On The New Performing Arts Center Continues!
It's really starting to look like the artist's renderings of the building! Click on any image to go to the campaign page!
In the ongoing creation of the new Manatee Performing Arts Center, Amick Roofing finished the job that had been started by another company and did a smooth, pain-free job with great attention to detail. It was a complex job, given the tiles and overall shape of the new performing arts center. Amick did a fantastic job, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent, detail-oriented roofer.

AIDA
Feb. 23 - March 11, 2012
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is a contemporary musical take on a grand classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms between them, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.
With a pop-rock score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is a modern crowd pleaser that embraces multi-cultural casting and exuberant dancing, staging and singing.
Coming Soon!
