Arts Partners play an essential role in the program offerings at the Hylton Center. With deep ties to our community and rich artistic traditions, their performances are a vibrant reflection of the talent and resources in our region. As the start of the Hylton Center 2026–27 season approaches, the Arts Partners are gearing up for their own respective seasons at the Hylton, and we’re pleased to share highlights from them on what audiences can look forward to in their 2026–27 seasons.
"I am absolutely thrilled for the season ahead—we've curated a wonderfully varied repertoire that includes beloved audience favorites while bringing back and breathing new life into works that have not been done for a long time at Manassas Ballet."—Amy Grant Wolfe, Artistic Director and CEO, Manassas Ballet Theatre
“Our 2026–27 season marks meaningful milestones, including the unveiling of our new organizational logo and the 5th anniversary of our STEAM summer camp. These moments reflect our continued growth and deepening impact in the community. With support from our George Mason University interns, we are researching new programming for 2027 to broaden the creative opportunities we offer young people.”—Denise M. McPhail, Co‑Founder, Creative And Performing Arts Center (CAPAC)
“The Chorale will present Joseph Martin's new work, "The Four Freedoms," as the centerpiece of our October concert. We are thrilled to sing with the composer of this exciting new patriotic piece at Carnegie Hall on November 16. Join us for all of our 33rd season with a huge variety of outstanding choral music, accompanied by a live orchestra!”—Becky Verner, Artistic Director, Manassas Chorale
“Our 41st season, Tales of Redemption, is a thrilling combination of classic tales, second chances, hilarious situations, and heart-warming relationships. With our blockbuster musicals Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Man of La Mancha, our Christmas show returning to Tinsel, TX in Dashing Through the Snow, and our gem, Neil Simon's Chapter Two, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy."—George Fulda, President, Prince William Little Theatre
"What excites me most about our upcoming season is the incredible range of sounds you’ll hear on stage. By weaving together bold new works we’ve commissioned with the inspiring young soloists who join us every December, this year becomes a true celebration of artistic growth. I take great pride in our decades-long history of bringing new music to life, and I cannot wait to share these stories—and these remarkably talented performers—with our community at the Hylton.”—James Villani, Music Director, Manassas Symphony Orchestra
