CHAD BALLARD INTERVIEW<br />
continued<br />
or funny stories from behind<br />
the scenes?<br />
CB: We’ve had some<br />
amazing artists come<br />
through so far! This August<br />
will mark two years<br />
for me at the King Center<br />
and in that span I’ve been<br />
fortunate enough to help<br />
to promote and host events<br />
such as Ron White, George<br />
Thorogood, Il Divo, Chris<br />
Daughtry, Tom Segura, Jim<br />
Gaffigan, Nate Bargatze,<br />
Leanne Morgan, The Indigo<br />
Girls, The Beach Boys<br />
w/ John Stamos, while<br />
also having nationally recognized<br />
Broadway events<br />
such Chicago, Waitress and<br />
Fiddler on the Roof, and<br />
don’t forget, Space Coast<br />
fan favorites Classic Albums<br />
Live just to name a<br />
few! We always make sure<br />
the artists stay safe and enjoy<br />
their stay here at the<br />
King Center – they have<br />
the better stories though!<br />
What kinds of exciting<br />
things can we look for<br />
in the future of the King<br />
Center?<br />
CB: This is the year of<br />
the anniversaries! The<br />
King Center celebrating<br />
35 years, our resident arts<br />
companies Brevard Symphony<br />
Orchestra will be<br />
embarking on 70 years as<br />
an organization this fall.<br />
Both Space Coast Ballet<br />
and Classic Albums Live<br />
will be celebrating 20 years<br />
of the Nutcracker and national<br />
touring respectively.<br />
And fans can expect even<br />
more nationally recognized<br />
shows coming to the Space<br />
Coast. With the influx of<br />
people moving to the area,<br />
we are seeing and feeling<br />
more demand for top talent.<br />
Rest assured, our team<br />
is working around the clock<br />
to bring in the highest form<br />
of entertainment to the region<br />
and to continue to create<br />
those amazing memories<br />
together singing along to every<br />
word.<br />
You have the mic,<br />
Chad! Is there anything<br />
you would you like to say to<br />
the good people of Brevard?<br />
CB: We look forward to<br />
seeing you in the lobby at<br />
the King Center – feel free<br />
to stop by and say hello,<br />
and we hope you tell your<br />
friends and family to come<br />
out and enjoy a show with<br />
us soon!<br />
