Subscription ticket packages of four or more events selected from the new 2006-07 Cal Poly Arts season series are now on sale at the Performing Arts Center Ticket Office. Single tickets go on sale to the public September 5, 2006.
"Cal Poly Arts always presents popular performing artists across a wide range of genres. This season, we have a particular emphasis on comedy and lighthearted events, such as celebrity Jon Lovitz, Chicago City Limits improv troupe, a production of 'The Pirates of Penzance,' and the Nobodies of Comedy stand-up showcase," said Cal Poly Arts Director Ralph Hoskins.
 "We even have the all-male Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, dancing the fine line between high art and high camp. There's something for every fan of live entertainment in 2006-07."
Other performances audiences can look forward to this season:
 The Chieftains, Bobby McFerrin, soloist Olga Kern with the National Philharmonic of Russia, Academy of St. Martin in the Field in a Chamber music concert, new Cashore Marionettes vignettes, and the crowd pleaser for all ages, Cirque Eloize.
