In 1986, CoMMA, opened its doors to a full house for the performance of “The Tap Dance Kid”. Since then, the theater has hosted more than 600 events including national tours of Broadway musicals, big band concerts, and ice ballets. In 2004, CoMMA unveiled the Ben Long fresco, “Sacred Dance and the Muses”, and the Etta Baker Exhibit was unveiled in 2014 giving Baker a place of tribute in her hometown auditorium. CoMMA is the envy of many cities across western North Carolina and has brought affordable entertainment to Morganton residents that they otherwise may never had the chance to enjoy.
