CELEBRATING OVER 40 YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT
Columbia Basin College and the Arts and Humanities Division is proud to present another showcase season filled with theatre, art and music! Showcase is one of the ways we continue the college’s mission of cultural enrichment to the community. Although we offer countless numbers of exhibits, concerts and plays during the year, showcase is unique in that it has added community involvement in the talent on and off the stage.

This year we offer to the Tri-City community for the first time, theatre in repertory, allowing viewers the possibility to see more than one show in a weekend. We will also bring back the season ticket to give a savings to the community on ticket prices.
