CHAMBER CONCERT
Festival Mozaic
Festival Mozaic returns to the intimate Templeton PAC for an evening of all Russian chamber music. On the first half of the program, Glinka's Sextet for piano and strings shows the composer's fascination with Italian opera, while Gliere's String Octet for strings is distinctly Russian in character and rivals Mendelssohn's Octet as the finest piece for this ensemble. Finishing the program is Shostakovich's Piano Quintet, noteworthy for including a prelude and fugue directly modeled after the works of J. S. Bach.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Wine Country Theatre
In this deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash hit, mild-mannered floral assistant Seymour Krelborn discovers a strange plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood ("Feed Me!"). As the plant, named Audrey II, grows, so does Seymour's success -- but at a deadly cost.
Featuring a catchy score that combines rock, Motown, and doo-wop, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a darkly comedic musical with an edge. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a hilarious, dark tale of love, ambition, and the lengths we go to for success, no matter how monstrous. Get your tickets but don't feed the plants!

JAMES GARNER'S
TRIBUTE TO JOHNNY CASH
All Over Again Productions
Get ready for a night of classic hits and toe-tapping nostalgia as A Show That Walks the Line returns to the Templeton PAC after last year’s sold-out performance!

Featured on PBS and performed at Folsom and San Quentin Prisons, this show is an unforgettable journey through Cash’s greatest hits, from Folsom Prison Blues to Ring of Fire and I Walk the Line. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the Man in Black, this is a musical event you won’t want to miss!

LEGEND ZEPPELIN
The Cosmic Energy
Take a small peek into what a 'Bootleg Band' is with this live look-in and behind-the-scenes peek with Legend Zeppelin, recreating 1969 nightly as they intend to traverse throughout the years chronologically over a 5-year period culminating with the 1980 US Tour that never happened. This isn't nostalgia, it's history in motion.
Currently bringing 1969 back to 2025 every night, the show is creating a storm on the west coast, which has captured the attention of notable documentarian, Jacques St. Claire, resulting in this presentation.
Be sure to catch 1969 before they go into 1970 next year!
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.
