Brief history of the 2/8 Robert Morton Theater Organ
The 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.
The 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.
Time 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.

The Drifters
2024-09-13 19:00 - 22:00 | Carolina Civic Center, 315 North Chestnut Street, Lumberton, 28358, United States
Our season opener!
The Drifters – Rock & Roll Hall of Famers
7pm Friday September 13
Up on the Roof. Under the Boardwalk. This Magic Moment. There Goes My Baby. Dance with Me. Spanish Harlem. Stand by Me. The list of hits goes on and on. THE DRIFTERS…one of Rock & Roll’s founding vocal groups is once again touring the U.S. under the auspices of their original management team.
From their inception in the early 1950s and up until recently, THE DRIFTERS has a symbiotic relationship with Rock & Roll legend George Treadwell, who has discovered and managed such famous artists as Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn and Nina Simone. The Treadwell Family was there when the original DRIFTERS formed and was responsible for guiding their career through 20 years of uninterrupted hits that has made them the second most successful recording artist of all time, according to Billboard Magazine.
From the start, the term “Drifters” was used to denote performers who “drifted” in and out of the group. All of the original members are long deceased and, in fact, the last original member departed the group over 40 years ago. Robert Wiggins, our longest current member, has been with the group 30 years and worked with 3 original members. While the Drifters were among the first group of artists to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, several of their members who left the group and went on to have solo careers (like Ben E. King and Clyde McPhatter) were also inducted for their individual efforts.
Tickets: Individuals $30, Seniors (60+) and Military $27. Students $15. Group discount rates of $25 each for groups of 10 or more when purchased in advance are available by contacting the box office.

Hairspray Auditions!
2026-02-20 17:00 - 2026-02-21 13:00 | Carolina Civic Center, 315 North Chestnut Street, Lumberton, 28358, United States
Directed by Kendrix Singletary, Hairspray is a high-energy musical set in 1962 Baltimore that follows Tracy Turnblad, a big-hearted, plus-size teenager with a passion for dancing and a belief in equality. Tracy dreams of appearing on The Corny Collins Show, a popular local TV dance program. When she finally earns a spot on the show, her talent and infectious spirit quickly make her a star, and challenge the show’s rigid beauty standards. As Tracy’s popularity grows, she uses her newfound platform to speak out against racial segregation on the program, which only allows Black dancers to appear once a month on “Negro Day.” With the help of her best friend Penny, heartthrob Link Larkin, and her supportive mother Edna, Tracy stands up to the show’s discriminatory producer, Velma Von Tussle, and her spoiled daughter Amber. Facing backlash, arrest, and public opposition, Tracy refuses to give up. In the end, her courage and determination help bring about integration on The Corny Collins Show, proving that change is possible when people stand up for what’s right. Hairspray celebrates individuality, acceptance, and the power of young voices to inspire social progress, all set to an upbeat, dance-filled score.

Annual Bluegrass on the Blackwater Concert: The Country Gentlemen Show
7pm Thursday March 12
Few names in the bluegrass world are as celebrated as The Country Gentlemen. Their harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary styles has made a lasting impact on the genre. Today, The Country Gentlemen Show, composed of talented musicians, carries the legacy of honoring the original band’s music and spirit.
While the band honors the past, it also looks to the future. Their album “Yesterday and Tomorrow” is a testament to this, featuring new, original material that stays true to the style of the original Country Gentlemen. This project, especially poignant following Bill Yates’s passing, shows the band’s commitment to evolving while respecting the roots from which they grew.
Tickets are $20 adults and $15 students. This performance is partially underwritten by a grant from the Robeson County Arts Council.
