Welcome to the 2009-2010 ARTS Northridge Season. Audience response to the 2008-2009 Season resulted in an 80% box office, the most successful ticket sales in the history of the theatre.

This year we are offering 28 headliner events organized into five different packages: LEGENDS, DANCE, CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ROOTS, and THEATRE/SPOKEN WORD. Packages are specially priced for the LEGENDS Series and a 20% discount is available for the DANCE, CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ROOTS, and THEATRE/SPOKEN WORD Series, as well as a 10% “choose your own series” that allows you to pick across all series. With these discounts, we are again offering the best entertainment value in the entire region!

With your subscription this year, you will position yourself for priority seating for the opening season of the new VALLEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, scheduled to open in January 2011.
