Michael Martin Murphey's Cowboy Christmas

Thursday, December 4, 2025 - 7:30 PM CST

Michael Martin Murphey’s Cowboy Christmas,

featuring RIO GRANDE BAND.


A magnificent spectacle that showcases his legendary “Rio Grande Band,” mesmerizing lighting, captivating videos, and an artistic fusion of Western Art and masterful photographs. This extraordinary production takes you on a journey through the spirit of the Wild West, immersing you in its rich heritage and evoking a sense of wonder and joy.
Inspired by an 1885 wild-west dance known as the original “Texas Cowboys’ Christmas Ball” in Anson, Texas, Murphey embarked on a remarkable journey that carries on the biblical tradition of merriment, song, and feasting during the “holidays,” a term signifying “holy days.” In 1992, Michael introduced a groundbreaking concept album called “Cowboy Christmas,” which had never been attempted before in popular Christmas music. This innovative creation became a best-seller and paved the way for five more Cowboy Christmas albums and accompanying DVDs. Today, this remarkable concept has evolved into a grand live musical concert production! Join Michael, the talented members of the Rio Grande Band, for a joyous and heartfelt “Christmas Cowboy-Style” experience.

Kid at Heart is unlike any magic show you’ve ever seen.

It’s the world’s first interactive magic show where you choose what happens next. 

There are two types of people who walk into a magic show: believers and skeptics.

And in this show, weather you’re a skeptic or believe, you direct the show.

Zak Mirz is a world renowned magician, AGT Season 20 semifinalist, and Penn and Teller Fool Us winner . Zak brings you his most exciting project yet. A show that doesn’t just entertain you…

it lets you become part of the magic as it unfolds.

 

Magician Zak Mirz FOOLED Penn & Teller on their TV show “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” served as a magic advisor to David Blaine, was a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent, and launched his first special “Ticket for One”, now streaming on YouTube.

As a first-generation American with roots in Iran and Afghanistan, Zak shares real life stories through a unique lens. Unfortunately, at the early age of one, his father was murdered. Seeking comfort, Zak discovered magic tricks as an unexpected form of therapy. Today, he’s recognized as a rising star in the magic industry.

Zak’s latest show “Flashes of Magic” blends the art of magic and storytelling offering an interactive experience for audiences of all ages. This family-friendly, family-owned tour reminds us that the greatest magic trick we can give ourselves is seeing the world through the eyes of a child, full of curiosity, awe & wonder.

TOAST - The Best Of Bread

Wednesday, January 28, 2026 - 7:00 PM CST

TOAST is the No. 1 Tribute in the world to the 70’s hit band, BREAD!

With a surprising fidelity rarely heard from a live tribute band, their sound is often described as “spot on” to the original recordings. Audiences everywhere rave about closely their live performances sound like the cherished records they listened to back in the day.

“BREAD VIRTUALLY INVENTED soft rock in the early Seventies, and the group’s biggest hits — ‘Make It With You,’ ‘If,’ ‘Baby I’m-a Want You’ and ‘Everything I Own’ — remain staples on lite-rock radio.” – Rolling Stone

TOAST takes the audience on a journey back in time, engaging a spectrum of emotions; from the tender moments that tug on the heartstrings to the upbeat classics that compel them to jump out of their seats and dance. And when combined with the timeless music of Bread, this concert has “risen” to the top as one of the absolute favorites of audiences everywhere!

Martin Media Presents: Whose Live Anyway?

Thursday, March 12, 2026 - 7:30 PM CST

WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY? BIO


The current cast members of the Emmy-nominated TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway? are proud to present their new improv tour: WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY?


WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY? is 90 minutes of hilarious improvised comedy and song all based on audience suggestions. Cast members Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, Jeff B. Davis, and Joel Murray will leave you gasping with the very witty scenes they invent before your eyes. Audience participation is key to the show so bring your suggestions and you might be asked to join the cast onstage! WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY? showcases some of the improv games made famous on the long-running TV show as well as some exciting new ones, featuring musical direction by Bob Derkach.


IMPROV MADNESS AT THE VENUE

 


This particular style of improvisational comedy is rife with countless gags, one-liners, hilarious games and even songs so good you will hardly believe they were made up on the spot. The teamwork and trust that it takes to perform a show with no script is apparent, but when the best of the best do it, they do it effortlessly. Watch them build entire scenes, characters, and storylines right before your eyes as they take you on a white-knuckle ride through endless chuckles.


Ryan Stiles’ television credits include roles on “The Drew Carey Show” and “Two and a Half Men,” while Greg Proops has lent his vocal talents to animated characters in Star Wars: Episode 1, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Brother Bear. However, both got their start as comedians and are excited to return to their funny-bone-tickling roots.


Jeff B. Davis is also a highly experienced improv comedian and starred in the cult classic cartoon series, “Harmonquest.” He has also starred in “Drew Carey’s Green Screen Show” and “Improv-a-Ganza,” while gaining fame for his spot-on impressions of Christoper Walken, Keanu Reeves, and Jeff Goldblum.


Joel Murray is the youngest of the nine Murray brothers, including Bill Murray, but has become a star in his own right. Though he has over 250 sitcom appearances, he is best known for his recurring roles like Freddy Rumsen on “Mad Men” and Eddie Jackson on “Shameless.” He has also appeared in One Crazy Summer, The Artist, Scrooged, and Bobcat Goldthwait’s God Bless America..


WHOSE LIVE ANYWAY? showcases some of the improv games made famous on the long-running TV show as well as some exciting new ones, featuring musical direction by Bob Derkach. All ages welcome! please note that some “PG-13” language will be used during the performance.
