TAMPA - The Salerno Theatre Co., "Tampa Bay's Musical Theatre Company," is pleased to announce that it has entered into a joint and mutually-beneficial agreement to establish its Hillsborough County residence at the appealing Carrollwood Cultural Center (CCC), located at 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa, Florida 33618.
The Carrollwood Cultural Center (CCC) is a 26,000-square foot facility dedicated to the arts, including a main performance hall, dance studios, piano and computer labs, conference rooms, and rehearsal areas.
The Salerno Family is thrilled to embark upon this new relationship with both CCC and Hillsborough County to bring its acclaimed Broadway musical productions and casino-style entertainment to the Carrollwood area.
Since 2004, Salerno, along with its sister company, American Concert Company, have been performing its Broadway musical productions and theatrical concerts at multiple venues in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. The companies have also performed at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and tour many of its productions throughout Florida.
“Carrollwood is one of the most centrally and easily accessible areas in western Hillsborough County,” says Salerno’s producing artistic director, Michael Mathews. |

Carrollwood Cultural Center provides The Salerno Theatre Co. its first true "home base" of operations in the Tampa Bay area. |

“Our association with CCC not only gives Salerno a permanent rehearsal and gorgeous performance facility, but perhaps most importantly, the ability to reach out with grass-roots efforts with Carrollwood and surrounding community partnerships to give children and adults alike close and friendly access to affordable, high quality performing arts.”
“I am extremely excited to have The Salerno Theatre Co. and the American Concert Company grace the stage at the Carrollwood Cultural Center,” says Paul D. Berg, Executive Director of Carrollwood Cultural Center.
“The quality and professionalism of these two companies brings a new level of family-friendly entertainment to the Center, which I know our patrons will love.”
In addition to their main stage performances, Salerno and American Concert Company’s theatre and entertainment professionals will make guest coaching and educational workshop appearances to help Carrollwood Cultural Center increase their community outreach efforts.
Salerno/ACC will complete the Florida tours of its 2008-09 Season at CCC with SWEET DREAMS: FRANK, BOBBY & DEAN, running for three performances February 20 and 21, as well as the season finale of OKLAHOMA, running for four performances May 1-3, 2009.
