NPAC names community concert series

VW independent/submitted information

Van Wert Live loves to entertain and it shows with the all new 20-21 Enrich Community Concert Series presented by Unverferth Dentistry and Roger and Kay Okuley. Since 1953, the Community Concert Series has made Van Wert an entertainment destination. 

Van Wert Live continues this tradition at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center of Northwest Ohio with four performances that begin in October and end in April 2021. 

It all begins with the laughter-inducing Southern Fried Chicks. These four fun-loving chicks have busted out of the hen house for a night on the town. The “Cage-Free Comedy Tour” stars Etta May, Sonya White, Mia Jackson, and Karen Mills with their hilarious take on life and love in the USA. Think “Blue Collar Comedy Tour” with better hair and bigger attitude! 

The 2020-2021 Enrich Community Concert Series includes (clockwise, from top left) Southern Fried Chicks, The Texas Tenors, Swingtime with the Jive Aces, and The Prague Symphony Orchestra. photos provided

They are back! The Texas Tenors will add splendor to the Christmas season. This Niswonger fan favorite is back as part of their 10th anniversary tour! Known as “America’s Favorite Tenors” and made famous on “America’s Got Talent,” Van Wert has loved them from the start and it celebrates their return with “Deep in the Heart of Christmas.” 

Live music will be enriched with the rare opportunity to experience the Prague Symphony Orchestra  in Van Wert. The Prague Symphony Orchestra is the official orchestra of the Czech capital and boasts a well-established international reputation. Engage the senses with a Beethoven and Dvorak program of orchestral delight from the Prague Symphony Orchestra.
Direct from London, The Jive Aces are internationally renowned for their superb musicianship and spectacular stage show.

An NPAC audience can let loose with the energetic renditions of Swing, Jive, and R&B classics. The Jive Aces will perform fresh arrangements of favorites from Louis Prima, Cab Calloway, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.. Joining them on stage are the Hollywood Hotshots — Swing Dancers with sass and soul. The Jive Aces take entertainment to an entirely new level.

Rich with culture, humor and musicality, the Enrich Series is packaged together at tremendous savings thanks to Enrich supporting sponsors Gary Taylor, Tisha Fast State Farm Insurance Agency, Putman Law Offices, Van Wert Health, JoAnn Wolford, and First Financial Bank. 

Enrich member sales have begun, with benefits that provide first choice seating, priority buying opportunities and more. The Van Wert Live Box Office is closed to visitors but is accessible as a remote operation by phone. Orders and questions can continue to be made at 419.238.6722.

There will no in-person orders at this time. The NPAC website is always open and ready to serve patrons 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Van Wert Live continues to prepare and announce a future of value-packed entertainment.
