Big Talent, Intimate Stage: Why Top Performers Are Choosing Our Theater
Or… What did Bill want for Christmas?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year at our theater and not just because the lights are twinkling and the air feels a little more magical. Over the past few months, we’ve received the best kind of gift: an outpouring of interest from some truly top-tier performers. These are artists who can fill much larger venues, yet they’re choosing our intimate stage: a place where every seat feels close to the heart of the show.
When comedians like Matt Rife and Kevin Hart were developing new material, or when touring productions such as Blippi’s Join the Band Tour were preparing to take the stage, they turned to our theater for the kind of setting that allows real connection. Here, they could feel the laughter, applause, and energy of the crowd in real time. This is the kind of instant spark that makes performing feel like a shared celebration. Those unforgettable performances reminded us just how special it is to offer artists and audiences a space where every moment feels close, genuine, and alive.
Our reputation for professionalism, warmth, and technical excellence has spread throughout the industry. Word travels fast when a theater not only hosts artists, but cares for them, offering a partnership that feels genuine, supportive, and collaborative. It’s that spirit of generosity and hospitality that keeps performers coming back.
And what a lineup we have to look forward to! From the elegant Prague Philharmonia and the timeless Vienna Boys Choir, to chart-toppers like Walker Hayes and the legendary Billy Ocean — whose U.S. appearances are as rare as snow in July — our stage is glowing brighter than ever.
So, what does this mean for our community? It means the kind of entertainment usually found in big cities is now lighting up our own backyard. From comedy to classical, family shows to pop icons, audiences can experience world-class performances in a setting that feels personal, festive, and full of heart.
This season, we’re feeling especially grateful for our artists, our audiences, and everyone who helps bring this theater to life night after night. The future is bright, the marquee is shining, and we can’t wait to share the joy with you.
Happy holidays from all of us and may your days (and nights at the theater) be merry and bright.
