IYKYK – Walton Arts Center’s 10x10 Arts Series is the best entertainment deal in town. $10 to see a performance by artists you love and those you might not know or love – yet! But if you don’t know the artists – then how do you know what to see? We’ve asked some of Walton Arts Center’s staff to recommend the 10x10 performances they are most excited about in the first half of the season!   

Circa: Duck Pond 

“I'm excited to bring my children to the MANY family shows offered this season! When I ask my five-year-old daughter what she wants to be when she grows up, she says "a dancer," so Circa Duck Pond is at the top of the list to see. Recreating Swan Lake into an accessible, fresh and funny circus performance is going to be memorable for us all.” 

• Sara Jones, programs and festivals manager 

“My children are most excited for Circa Duck Pond. They love to watch dance performances.” 

• Samantha Stinson, engagement manager 

Some Enchanted Evening 

“I am most excited about Some Enchanted Evening because it's a combination of jazz music and iconic Broadway songs. You can truly never go wrong with an amazing musical performance. Additionally, this show is part of the 10x10 series and as a student at the university, all the tickets for this series are extremely affordable and make it so easy for my friends and I to experience unique performances. The 10x10 Series is truly my favorite, you get to see innovative performances for an amazing price!” 

• Anna Buie, public relations coordinator 

Mark Morris Dance Group: The Look of Love 

“Mark Morris Dance Group is an acclaimed dance company and with The Look of Love they are bringing a vibrant and wistful modern dance take on the legendary Burt Bacharach's music catalogue.” 

• Cody Kopp, production manager 

“One of the more powerful dance companies that has stayed true to the vision of their founder.  Clean lines, relevant content and full of expression - this is a must-see for those who appreciate the power of dance.” 

• Peter Lane, president and CEO 

“I cannot wait to see Mark Morris Dance Group: The Look of Love, because dance finds a way to speak to my heart and soul in a way that words fall short. Watching artists play with emotions, human connection, musicality and space never fails to take my mind on an adventure I didn't know I needed.” 

• Rachel Pianalto Strickland, director of individual giving
