Long Center: No matter the weather, shows will go on
Never mind the predictions of cold and rainy weather Thursday evening. The first night of the “Sneak Peek” weekend at the new Long Center for the Performing Arts will go on no matter what, officials say.
Things kick off at 6 p.m with tours of the $77 million two-venue performing arts center. Then at 8 p.m. a performance by the New York-based MASS Ensemble on their giant stringed instrument known as the Earth Harp is set to take place on the Long Center’s City Terrace. But if weather is yucky, the performance will be moved inside to the lovely 2,400-seat Michael and Susan Dell Hall.
The ‘Sneak PeeK” continues Friday from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. All of the concerts are free, but you’ll need to get a ticket. Tickets are available online and at the Long Center box office.

I toured the Long Center earlier in the week; it is a very interesting venue. But I’m puzzled as to why the facilities do not provide enough parking on site. Folks were told that they could park across the street here, there and elsewhere. But no one could confirm that there is a parking CONTRACT agreement and that any owners of the properties “here, there and elsewhere” would not and could not sell their properties to new owners without a provision that the new owners could not prohibit Long to use their parking lots.
