OGDENSBURG – The upcoming six-show season of Ogdensburg Command Performances is sure to mesmerize, make you laugh and tug at heartstrings, according to OCP Administrator Sally F. Palao.

“My board and I felt it’s just what our north country and regional audience could use following the difficulties of last year’s pandemic,” Mrs. Palao said.

The 2021-22 season is slated to kick off Oct. 30 with a re-scheduled production of “Forever Young” in the George Hall Auditorium at 4 p.m.

Mrs. Palao said ticket prices will be staying the same.

“We decided not to raise ticket prices for the new season because our mission is to make professional theater affordable to the citizens of the north country,” Mrs. Palao said. “But in lieu of that fact, donations become more important than ever.”

Here’s a brief look at the upcoming shows:

• “Forever Young,” Oct. 30, 4 p.m. Loads of laughs, power-house vocals & dynamite dance moves take you on an exciting and sentimental trip down memory lane with the music you grew up with. An exciting look at the greatest pop, rock, and country hits of all time. “A tribute to your life and your music!”

• “South Pacific,” March 1, 2022, 7:45 p.m. Love transcends the harsh realities of war and prejudice in this Pulitzer Prize winning tale. Set on a tropical island during WWII, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s classic features some of the most beautiful music ever composed. “An inspiring story cherished the world over.”
