Our popular music shows return using our SkySkan Definiti Theater System to rock out! Some favorites return, plus BRAND NEW shows as well!

These shows are all free - and they fill up fast. Once the auditorium fills up they pass out numbers for one of the next shows. 

All shows are free and open to the public (donations are always appreciated). No reservations are needed – doors open 30 minutes prior to show time. First come, first seated!
