Tickets can also be purchased at the door. Theater lobby box office opens for ticket sales one hour prior to performance. \nAbout Mark Andersen\nMark began his education at Mars Hill College\, The Governor’s School for the Performing Arts\, and East Carolina University in North Carolina where he studied organ\, harp\, and flute. His graduate studies carried him to Chicago and the American Conservatory and then on to a full scholarship at the Paris Conservatory where he studied harp with Pierre Jamet\, organ with Marcel Dupré\, and composition with Nadia Boulanger.  Andersen’s musical compositions have twice won the International Composer’s Competition (1976 and 1999) in Amsterdam\, Holland.  In addition to the classical side of Mark’s endeavors he has also written the musical score for several Broadway and Off- Broadway productions including “Widow’s Waltz”\, “Best Friends”\, and “The Woman They Love to Hate”. His musical scores have also been heard in movies and on television for many years. \nMark has served as church organist to several churches throughout his career. Currently he serves as Director of Music and Organist to Trinity Episcopal Church in Lumberton\, NC where he heads a concert series that opens the church to many in the community. Mark also teaches organ students at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke as well as in his own studio. \nDr. Andersen continues as weekly host to “Crescendo!” over Time Warner and Comcast television from New York\, Seattle\, and North Carolina. \nBrief history of the 2/8 Robert Morton Theater Organ\nThe 2/8 (2 manual/8 rank) Robert Morton Theatre Organ currently residing in the Carolina Civic Center\, Lumberton\, NC was originally installed in the National Theatre in Greensboro\, NC in 1922. A sister organ was installed in the Carolina Theatre in Greensboro around the same time – this organ continues to play in its original setting. In 1939 the Center Theatre opened in downtown Durham and the National organ was relocated to Durham where it lived until 1967 when the Center was demolished. Just a few days before demolition\, a group of organ enthusiasts was finally granted permission to remove the organ before the wrecking ball hit. The Morton was saved! The organ then spent several years in the residence of the late Dr. Paul Abernethy in Burlington\, NC before he replaced it with a larger instrument. \nThe smaller organ was stored and found its way to Lumberton during the 1980’s thanks to a lot of work by Piedmont Theatre Organ Society members and the support of the community and the CCC Board of Directors. Funds were raised to purchase a console lift\, prepare the chambers in accordance with local fire and building codes\, and to complete the installation. The organ has been upgraded to use a computerized relay system to control the several thousand pipes and other devices located in the 2 chambers to the left of the stage. \nTime and other factors took their toll on the keyboards\, which were original to the 1922 console\, which rendered the console inoperable for the last several years. The organ was playable only from the computer for that time period.  In 2015\, new keyboards were custom built and installed making the organ playable again by live organists thanks to the CCC and its supporters\, especially Mayme and William Tubbs\, Mark Andersen and Mac Abernathy. \n
