Aladdin (A British Panto)

December 6 - December 22, 2024

Aladdin plays at the Dolphin Playhouse December 6 - 22. Don't miss the chance to experience Aladdin in this exciting tech-enhanced production that's perfect for all ages! Shows are 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and a matinee showing Sunday at 2 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $8 - $12 with a special family discounted price of $25 all in. Get your tickets here.

This year’s Panto, Aladdin, is loosely based on the Aladdin story most of us have heard from childhood. For those new to the Dolphin Playhouse, the holiday Panto has become a tradition, as this will be their fifth Panto, following Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and Beauty and the Beast.  

Borrowed from the traditional British “pantomime”, Panto is a theatrical entertainment based on a fairy tale or nursery story, told in a broad and humorous way with music, sight gags, jokes about current events and plenty of slapstick comedy.

MusiKaravan at the Egyptian Theatre

February 5, 2025

The Coos County Community Center Association is proud to present MusiKaravan at the Egyptian Theatre. Often referred to as a fun, imaginative "musical picnic", MusiKaravan was developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic closing music venues. Violinist Etienne Garam and YeEun Kim took to the road on a 6-month trip in their 1971 VW bus to bring music to farmers, winemakers and random passerby to celebrate and thank the people who were "working hard to feed us physically and emotionally". Alongside cellist Stella Cho, MusiKaravan presents classical favorites in inviting ways.

Tickets for the performance are available through the Coos History Museum or buy them online here using PayPal. Cost for a season ticket is $99 for adults and $49 for students. Individual concert performances are $39 for adults and $19 for students. Please feel free to call Jay Farr at 541-297-4008 or Eva Shimotakahara at 541-297-1363 at anytime to ask questions
