The Piano Men is a musical celebration of the 1970’s- year by year, hit by hit- from the songbooks of Billy Joel and Elton John. Award winning Canadian recording artist Jim Witter and his incredible band lead an expertly crafted tour of an entire decade that begins with “Your Song” and winds us along on a musical time machine, saluting two of the century’s most popular contemporary songwriters. Utilizing spectacular visuals on a giant screen behind Witter and his band, we return to the newspaper headlines, the automobiles, the people, the events, the toys and even the TV shows that shaped a decade. Along the way, the sounds of “My Life”, “Candle in the Wind”, “Rocket Man”, “Just the Way You Are”, and many more classic hits create an evening that’s so much fun, you won’t want it to end.

A Christmas Wish directed by Amy Graham
An original production first presented in 2008, and then again in 2016, A Christmas Wish features local talent and guest artists from afar to tell the story of a small girl away from home on Christmas Eve. Lost and exhausted, she makes her way to an abandoned theater where she snuggles in an empty seat and falls asleep. Her dream reveals an angel who was sent to earth by God to find the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done since the birth of His son, Jesus Christ. The music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra transcends the audience through the story of the little girl’s dream. After she awakes, she is met by a kindly barkeeper who assists her with getting back home to her father. The angel returns to heaven and places in the Lord’s hand the wish of a soul for the happiness of another. This production is directed by Legacy Theater Foundation board member, Amy Graham. Saturday's performance is generously sponsored by Carson Motors.
