NOISES OFF
THS Theatre Arts
Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious, high-energy comedy. Mixing mockery and homage, Frayn heaps a hilarious melée of stock characters and situations into his side-splitting play-within-a-play.

SCRIPTLESS IN SEATTLE
Scriptless in Seattle LLC - Presented by the TPAC
No script. No two shows alike. Scriptless in Seattle brings a fast-paced night of completely unscripted comedy to the Templeton Performing Arts Center!
With a style reminiscent of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Scriptless in Seattle has toured throughout the United States and Europe, creating an entirely new show every time the performers take the stage.
Using suggestions from the audience, the professional improv troupe creates scenes, characters, improvised music, freestyle rap, film noir-inspired stories, and more, all made up in the room. The audience helps shape what happens next, and some audience members may even find themselves joining the performers on stage to become part of the show.
Because everything is created live, no two performances are ever the same. The performers don't know exactly what will happen, the audience doesn't know what will happen, and that's all part of the fun.
Family-friendly without being just for kids, Scriptless in Seattle is a night of live comedy for teens, adults, families, and anyone who loves to laugh.

12 GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS
Artistry in Motion
Join Artistry In Motion for 12 Gifts of Christmas, a spectacular holiday dance production!
When a sudden snowstorm leaves the delivery van stuck in a snowdrift, lead dancer Grey and stage manager Wren face an Opening Night nightmare: every single prop is missing! With a little imagination and an extraordinary cast of performers—featuring Ballet swans, lyrical maids, high-jumping jazz lords, and thunderous tappers—they set out to dance the entire holiday classic with a twist into existence.
Told through the eyes of a dancer’s dream, this high-energy, heartwarming show proves that the true magic of the stage isn't in the decorations; it's in the community coming together to create something unforgettable.

Roy Orbison Returns
Running Scared Productions
Join us for a 90-minute live tribute that celebrates the life, music, and legacy of Roy Orbison. Led by Wiley Ray & The Big O Band, the nation’s top Roy Orbison tribute band (praised by Orbison’s own drummer, Paul Garrison), the show captures the voice, emotion, and storytelling that made Roy a legend.
For over twenty years, Wiley Ray & The Big O Band have brought this show to theaters across the United States. Each performance blends Orbison’s greatest hits with stories from his life, from his early days at Sun Studios alongside Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to his chart-topping years with Monument Records.
Hear timeless favorites like “Only the Lonely,” “In Dreams,” “It’s Over,” “Crying,” “Blue Angel,” and “Oh, Pretty Woman,” performed with care and authenticity. Between songs, you’ll learn more about the moments that shaped Orbison’s journey: his triumphs, his challenges, and his deep connection to his music.
Whether you grew up with Roy’s songs or are discovering them for the first time, Roy Orbison Returns is an evening filled with heart, nostalgia, and incredible musicianship.

OUR FOUNDATION & FUTURE

Through our non-profit (sister) organization, the Templeton Performing Arts Center Foundation, we have been able to bring a number of improvements and enhancements to our venue.
State-of-the-art upgrades — including new LED CYC lights, advanced LED moving lights, a professional-grade light console, a cutting-edge sound board, a new Clear-Com system, a new greenroom stage monitoring system, and a digital audio snake — would not be possible without the generous support of the Foundation and donors.
Visit our Foundation website for more information about its role and commitment to securing additional funding for the Performing Arts Center's continuous growth and potential to be one of the premiere theatrical venues in all of San Luis Obispo county.
