two on tap rsTwo On Tap marks the creative collaboration of celebrated musical theatre performers Melissa Giattino and Ron DeStefano. Since its debut in February 2010, Two On Tap has entertained tens of thousands at countless theatrical concerts and gala events in the U.S. and enjoyed headliner status aboard luxury cruise liners. Melissa and Ron will take you back to the days when Fred and Ginger and Mickey and Judy filled the screen with undeniable chemistry, effortless harmony and precision tap dancing. Gorgeous vocals, exciting choreography and unique musical arrangements complete the evening's package. This concert is supported by the New Mexico Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Grant County Community Concert Association will present this talented duo on Thursday, March 22nd, at 7:00 p.m. in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater.

Heralded by presenters and critics alike, Two On Tap aims to breathe new life into classic song-and-dance with clever arrangements, a meaningful connection to the audience, and exciting high-energy routines. Recent accomplishments include multiple appearances at the National World War II Museum (New Orleans), headline performances on the Queen Mary 2's historic transatlantic route, and multiple community concert tours including hundreds of cities throughout the Midwestern and Mountain states.

In addition to their appearances throughout the world on Princess and Cunard Cruises, Two On Tap maintains an active concert schedule in the U.S. with a full season of shows from the Pacific Northwest to the South scheduled for the 2017-2018 season.

Two on Tap will offer an Educational Outreach program for grades 1 through 6 on the morning of the scheduled evening concert from 10:30 to 11:30 in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater. It is free of charge to the children, and bus transportation will be paid by GCCCA upon request by the school. For more information, call Karen at 575-538-5862.

For non-GCCCA subscribers, tickets to the concert are $20 for adults. Children to age 17 accompanied by an adult ticket holder are admitted free (limit of two children per adult). Tickets, subscriptions and further information are available at www.gcconcerts.org. Tickets are also sold at the MRAC office in the Wells Fargo Bank building, The Place Gallery (Bullard at Broadway), The Pink Store (Bullard) and in the lobby at the concert. For further information, call 538-5862 or go to www.gcconcerts.org.

Subscriptions for the 2018-2019 Grant County Community Concert Association season are now on sale. For this season we are happy to announce the return of the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra. Also, we have included a couple of groups that are a bit different from what we normally book in hopes of attracting a broader section of the community to our concerts.
