ABOUT DIGITAL PROGRAMS

The Gallo Center has adopted the use of digital programs meant to be viewed on cell phones or other computer devices. This change has important public health, environmental and economic benefits: reducing close contacts between patrons and ushers, cutting our use of paper, and eliminating substantial printing costs. View the program only before shows begin or during intermissions. Please be considerate of other patrons and artists on stage by not viewing it during performances. Patrons who do not observe this courtesy and create distractions may be asked to leave. Thank you!

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

The Gallo Center for the Arts is a non-profit performing arts center with a deep commitment to enriching the people and communities of California’s vast San Joaquin Valley. From the scintillating performances of its wonderful resident companies, to the great variety of world-class entertainment presented by the Center each season, to robust arts education programs for the region’s youth, this is where the magic happens.

From the beginning, the Center’s mission has been clearly defined: to provide an inspirational civic gathering place where regional, national, and international cultural activities illuminate, educate, and entertain. Since revenue from ticket sales and facility rentals only covers a portion of the costs associated with fulfilling this mission, the Center is dependent on the generous annual financial support from donors and program sponsors within our community.

The Gallo Center for the Arts celebrates the diversity of the San Joaquin Valley by offering an array of affordable cultural opportunities designed to appeal, and be accessible, to all.

ERIC MCCORMACK

Eric McCormack: Beloved for his eleven seasons as Will Truman on NBC’s Will & Grace, Eric McCormack was nominated for four Emmy Awards and six Golden Globes, receiving the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy in 2001.

Born in Toronto, Eric spent his twenties in theatres across Canada, including five seasons with the Stratford Festival. On Broadway, he starred in Tony-nominated productions of The Music Man and Gore Vidal’s The Best Man and is now sharing the stage with the one and only Laura Bell Bundy in The Cottage. Eric’s one-man show The Concert I Never Gave (except for, like, 2000 times in my bedroom)raised vital funds for cancer research in Los Angeles, Toronto and Vancouver. You can now hear him, and his old pal, Sean Hayes, weekly on their new hit podcast, Just Jack & Will
