Become a Friend
Become a Friend: Receive priority ticket ordering and additional discounts!
You are cordially invited to become a member of the Friends of the Performing Arts Series, a group dedicated to supporting the performing arts in the Carlsen Center at Johnson County Community College.
For more information about the Friends of the Performing Arts Series, please contact Renee Kyles in the Carlsen Center office, 913-469-4450 or rkyles@jccc.edu
Why join the Friends of the Performing Arts Series?
Contrary to popular belief, tax revenues support only the academic side of JCCC’s programs, while ticket sales cover only a portion of costs. Friends membership revenue underwrites the direct costs of presenting professional performing arts events, including artists fees and production expenses. Private donations from people like you bridge the gap, keeping ticket prices low and making it possible to continue bringing great artists to the stages in the Carlsen Center.
