The 2026-2027 Live at the Scheidt season brings a bold mix of music, comedy, storytelling, and live performance to the Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center. This season is designed to offer audiences a dynamic lineup that moves across genres and experiences, from the cinematic power of blues with Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience to high-level jazz with Rahsaan Barber and EVERYDAY MAGIC featuring Jeff “Tain” Watts and Nat Reeves.

Audiences will also enjoy the timeless charm of Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore in Concert, the humor and real-world insight of Jermaine “FunnyMaine” Johnson, and the explosive rock-meets-brass energy of Brass Against. Together, these performances create a season that is engaging, diverse, and built for both longtime arts supporters and new audiences looking for something memorable.
