March 19 concert at the Tarkington will have performances at 5 and 8 p.m.
CARMEL, Ind. – Due to popular demand, the Center for the Performing Arts has added a second performance when Croce Plays Croce comes to the Tarkington on March 19.
The production features singer-songwriter A.J. Croce paying tribute to his late father, Jim Croce, a folk-pop singer who died in a 1973 plane crash while his star was still on the rise. Along with such hits as “Operator,” “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” and “Time in a Bottle” (written for A.J. himself), the performances will include the younger Croce’s original material as well as classic songs that influenced both artists.
The 8 p.m. show at the 500-seat theater is sold out. The new 5 p.m. show is on sale now, with tickets at $55 and $65, a selection of student/youth tickets at $15, and discounts for military personnel and first responders. Tickets are available at the Palladium Box Office, online at TheCenterPresents.org and by phone at (317) 843-3800.
Croce Plays Croce is part of the Center’s Katz, Sapper & Miller Pop/Rock Series and the 2021-2022 Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions.
For these performances, all patrons regardless of age must show proof of COVID vaccination or a negative test taken within 72 hours of the performance.
