Tickets are on sale, now, for every show in the 10TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON of THE ALLEY THEATRE: a part of Central Christian Church, and housed in the JAKE HOOVER THEATRE downstairs, on the alley off Jackson Street.

This year’s line up includes some classics and favorites – from the Neil Simon comedy, “THE ODD COUPLE” (which was the very first show we performed in the theatre) to Rick Vale’s adaptation of “A CHRISTMAS CAROL” (6 performances this year), the classic dark comedy, “ARSENIC & OLD LACE” (directed by our own Kevin Weston), the intimate, comic, and moving, “DRIVING MISS DAISY”, and a world premiere to celebrate our 10th Anniversary: “FALL RIVER” – an original dark musical based on the trial of Lizzie Borden in 1892. That performance will be in the ANDERSON MUSEUM OF ART.

Two “extra” summer shows (not a part of the regular season) include the third in the “TUNA” series: “RED, WHITE, AND TUNA” which will be over the Independence Day weekend….and then the short, Shakespeare classic, “A COMEDY OF ERRORS”.

Please join us for one or all! Tickets are $12 per seat, per show, and can be purchased on the theatre website: www.thealleytheatre.com. If you have any trouble purchasing tickets online, simply call and leave a message (with your name and phone number, please) at 765.643.0701.

As is the case with every season, all income from ticket sales are donated to the Central Christian Church general fund.

LENT 2024

The season of LENT; the “countdown” to Easter, begins with ASH WEDNESDAY (February 14th) and continues for 40 days (excluding Sundays) till Holy Week (March 24-31, 2024) which is early this year.

This year’s LENTEN THEME is “THE SEVEN LAST WORDS of CHRIST”, a traditional and familiar theme for many churches across the globe. Each Sunday/Week Pastor Rick will look at these seven last words of Jesus, on the cross, and dive in to the details and meaning of each of these phrases.

THE LUNCH BUNCH

Central’s LUNCH BUNCH will meet Thursday, February 29th at noon. See Lynn & Charlie High for details…WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE in the Fellowship Hall!

Join PASTOR RICK in SCHUSTER CHAPEL for “THE BIBLE STUDY” – all are welcome, 11:00am, to discover WHAT the Bible is, HOW we got it, and HOW to use it.

There is hardly anything more powerful than someone’s “story”. Come hear the “stories” of several of our CCC ELDERS. This very popular, and annual Lenten event, is always uplifting, heart-warming, and congregational-building. Join us in SCHUSTER CHAPEL, Wednesday nights at 6:00pm. ALL ARE WELCOME!

Specifically designed for those wishing to make CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH their church home, but also appropriate for anyone who would like to know about CENTRAL: History, Structure, and Beliefs. ALL ARE WELCOME at 3p, on the 3rd.

Join Pastor Rick (who will be at the piano) in THE ALLEY THEATRE for a quiet, intimate, Good Friday evening “set in a garden”. ALL ARE WELCOME.

Come celebrate RESURRECTION DAY at CENTRAL (March 31st). There is a morning filled with love and joy. NOTE: If you plan on attending the EASTER BREAKFAST at 8:15am there is no cost, however, we do request you circle “B” (for “Breakfast”) on your BLUE WELCOME CARD some Sunday morning before Easter Sunday – and please write the number of people attending beside your “circled B”. Thanks!
