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?

Davis, and Joel Murray will leave you gasping with the very witty scenes they invent before your eyes.

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..

Rare Of Breed - The Restoration Tour

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 - 7:00 PM CST

Born and raised in North Carolina, Rare of Breed’s journey has taken him from the streets of Charlotte touring almost every state in the U.S. Placed in foster care at age 8, he discovered a love for writing when a therapist gave him a notebook to process his emotions. What began as poetry eventually evolved into lyrics and songs.

As a teen, his life took a difficult turn after being expelled from high school for selling drugs, leading to military school, where he earned his GED. However, bad decisions soon landed him on the streets and in jail at just 18.

Struggling with addiction and self-worth, Rare of Breed finally found hope when he walked into a church, fell to his knees, and gave his life to Christ. This pivotal moment gave new purpose to the lyrics he’d started writing years before.

For the past decade, he’s shared his testimony through his unique musical style, which he calls GodTwang on stages at churches, music halls, festivals, and prisons throughout the U.S. Blending Country, Christian, and Hip-Hop, Rare of Breed delivers an uplifting and one-of-a-kind sound that inspires listeners from all walks of life.

John Conlee - live In Concert

Friday, May 1, 2026 - 7:00 PM CST

The John Conlee hit list includes songs such as “Lady Lay Down,” “Before My Time,” “Friday Night Blues,” “Miss Emily’s Picture,” “Busted,” “I Don’t Remember Loving You,” “Common Man,” “I’m Only In It For The Love,” “In My Eyes,” “As Long As I’m Rocking With You,” “Years After You,” “Domestic Life,” “Mama’s Rockin’ Chair,” “Hit The Ground Runnin’” and “Fellow Travelers.” All of Conlee’s hits have that unmistakable common thread – that unique voice. 

Unlike many artists today, several aspects of John Conlee’s career have remained constant.


His career has been managed from the beginning by Dave Roberts and Bud Logan has produced all his records. In the entertainment world where artists change managers, agents, and producers almost as often as they change their socks, John Conlee has not tampered with success. He has remained loyal and constant with the people who have helped him from the beginning – which tells you quite a bit about the man with the rose-colored glasses. 


Overall, there have been 29 single releases throughout the years with 26 of them charting in the top 20 or better. Eight of those 26 have reached the coveted No. 1 spot on the national country charts. 

His record tenure, beginning at ABC Records, brought him to MCA Records when the two labels merged. John also recorded for Columbia Records where he scored four hit singles before signing with Nashville’s 16th Avenue Records, a division of the Opryland Music Group. This was a homecoming for Conlee, who has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1981.

“A Night of Patsy Cline” with Juliette Angelo is an unconventional type “tribute” show – a solo performance with Angelo and her guitar. Patsy Cline’s intimate melodies are stripped down to their very core, which allows her music’s storytelling, heartbreak, and soulfulness to shine through. 

With a set list also including songs from other legendary artists of the 50’s and 60’s, some gospel hymns, (and an Angelo original or two), this show is a celebration for anyone who loves that era of music. It is a truly a one of a kind, connective experience for performer and audience alike.

Born in Little Falls, New Jersey, Juliette spent her childhood performing in Manhattan on Broadway, in the shows How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Tony Award winning original cast of Billy Elliot, and as lead Jane Banks in Mary Poppins.

Juliette released her first record, Fields of Tennessee, in 2023. She draws inspiration from her tumultuous childhood, day to day life, and ongoing sobriety journey. Juliette is a natural performer with a traditional Broadway background, and her voice holds a vintage, gospel quality that can only be described as timeless. 

Juliette began traveling “A Night of Patsy Cline” in 2024, with great reception and success. After many sold out shows in the Midwest region, she will move to Texas in March of 2026. Juliette also has another show, “A Night of Gospel and Testimony”, which is a donation based musical performance sharing the gospel and her come to Christ.

Gene Watson - live In Concert

Friday, July 10, 2026 - 7:00 PM CST

GENE WATSON

 

This masterful country stylist from Houston, Texas has been thrilling audiences for more than 50 years. Gene’s very first radio single, the self-penned “If It’s That Easy” was released in 1962 so the entertainer is celebrating his 50 Years in the music business, a “Golden Anniversary” in 2012. Although the song didn’t make any radio charts, it did start the career of the man now known as “The Singer’s Singer.” Gene Watson’s tally of 75 charted titles, 23 top-10 hits and 6 number-one records has led to membership in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. Radio listeners are still transfixed whenever classics like “Farewell Party,” “Fourteen Carat Mind” or “Love in the Hot Afternoon” are played. The depth of emotion in his singing, his brilliant phrasing, his jaw-dropping range and the power in the lyrics he chooses are all factors in the awe he inspires in both fans and his musical peers.

 

At an age when most people are contemplating retirement, Gene Watson is still making some of the greatest records of his life, receiving such accolades as Album of the Year and even Album of the Decade from journalists around the world. Watson earned the title of 2010 Country Music Legend of the Year, from Citadel Media’s Real Country Radio Network nationwide fan vote.

 Watson is one of the rare singers who still sings in the same key as he did 30 years ago and his audiences respond with standing ovations night after night when he nails the octave jumping last note on his most requested song, the now country classic “Farewell Party.”  As Rodney Crowell so aptly stated, “Just when I think Country Music is a lost art form, something by Gene Watson catches my ear and I can breathe again.”

Considered one of the finest pure-country singers of his generation Watson offers up one of the best traditional country shows in the business. His stunning voice captivates audiences and keeps his fans coming back again and again.
