For 24 seasons, the Prairie Center

has hosted an incredible array of

music, theatre, dance and performing

arts, from national headliners (The

Smothers Brothers, Crystal Gayle, Gordon

Lightfoot) to local favorites (Koko Taylor, River

North Dance, Rachel Barton) and cult heroes (Kronos

Quartet, Pilobolus, Penn & Teller).

For our silver anniversary, we continue a rich and diverse tradition

with a season line-up that’s already got people buzzing. Annual

programs such as the Prairie Center’s lavish Nutcracker ballet

and the up-and-coming Screen Test Student Fest are joined by

crowd pleasers like Aimee Mann, The International Tenors,

and Colin Hay to bring you a world of first-rate entertainment.

The mission of the Prairie Center Arts Foundation is to vitalizeand enrich the cultural arts by providing financial support tothe Prairie Center for the Arts.
