Sancton is also a well-known jazz clarinetist who has toured widely in Europe and the U.S. The concert will be held at the Wooten Theatre in downtown DeRidder at 102 West First Street. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the entertainment will begin promptly at 7. Only 200 season tickets will be sold for $40 each, entitling the purchaser to all three concerts in the series.
