LAKELAND — In the 20 years RP Funding Center Booking Manager Scott Sloman has worked at the venue, he's seen more event cancellations ever in one season this past year.
But with entertainment complexes across the United States beginning to reopen, the RP Funding Center stage lights are ready to regularly shine once again.
Battling a string of cancellations for the 2020 season and empty auditoriums and indoor sports arena, Sloman and RP Funding Center Director of Marketing Jason Refermat have announced a full slate of live programming for the center’s 2021-22 season.
During a recent meeting at the RP Funding Center offices, Sloman and Refermat, along with their intern, Nicole Flynn, discussed the logistics of getting shows and sporting events literally up and running after an extended hiatus. Among the schedule are Tony-Award winning Broadway productions, the popular rock album covers Classic Albums Live Series, holiday shows and renowned comedians.
