JCC CenterStage Artistic Director Ralph Meranto announced the lineup for the theater's 2015-16 Season during a digital press conference on YouTube. The 39th JCC CenterStage Subscription Series will include two world premiere musical events, two regional premiere plays and a high-profile revival.

"The season is a Melting Pot," Meranto said. "Each show reflects differing worlds colliding through either race, culture, religion, or political beliefs. I love stories like these because they bring out the wildest comedy, the most powerful drama and the most passionate music."

The 2015-16 Series is listed below, and more information is available online. Subscriptions can be purchased by calling 461-2000 or vising www.jcccenterstage.org
