The season opens with three-time grammy award winning singer, Cécile McLorin Salvant; and it closes in may with the Tony Award winning singer, Patti LuPone. The rest of the season is a mix of dance, musical, comedy, and even ice skating performances.

"It's at Magness Arena. And so imagine, all those ice skaters that you watch at the Olympics but they do a full length show, choreographed on the hockey ice, so it's really exciting," Ahmad-Post explained.

The Newman Center for the Performing Arts opened in 2002 with the mission of engaging, inspiring, and connecting audiences through diverse and thought-provoking performances.
