As you know, we always look for ways to make your Niswonger experience just a little more special than the normal.\u00a0 We are once again enhancing some of our performances with an extra touch to make them even more appealing and enjoyable.<\/p>\n
Starting with the Annie Moses Band on opening night, October 4, we are pleased to announce guest singer Joshua Carswell has been added to the show.\u00a0 He is a Michael Bubl\u00e9 style singer.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t heard of Michael Bubl\u00e9, he is a modern day crooner of original and classic songs, popular among young and old audiences alike.\u00a0I think you will really enjoy Josh.\u00a0Even without Joshua, the Annie Moses Band will certainly delight with its vast array of musical talent and styles.\u00a0It is a production, as well as a concert, and one worthy of opening our season in a grand style!<\/p>\n
Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary comes to the Niswonger October 9 and will entertain that evening with songs and stories that will certainly take you back to those enigmatic days of the 1960s, with all the folk songs everyone knows and loves.\u00a0We have added a band that works quite regularly with Peter, called Mustard\u2019s Retreat, that is from the Ann Arbor, Michigan, area.<\/p>\n
In addition to the 7:30 evening performance, Yarrow will also be speaking and singing to school kids in the early elementary grades.\u00a0 We have nearly 1,200 students from Van Wert, Crestview, Lincolnview, Parkway and Coldwater to hear Yarrow\u2019s message on anti-bullying.\u00a0He has become a national spokesperson on the topic, traveling around the country to speak at schools and conventions.\u00a0Several organizations, businesses, and individuals have come forward to help provide this learning experience for the kids to attend.\u00a0We thank them and will acknowledge them that day.<\/p>\n
\u201cInspiration of Broadway\u201d is a show that comes extremely highly recommended because the very popular Southern Gospel quartet, \u201cSignature Sound,\u201d has joined forces in a rather unlikely partnership.\u00a0J. Mark McVey, who starred in London\u2019s smash hit production of Les Miserables<\/i> as Jean Valjean, will join forces with this dynamic quartet of voices to present one memorable night of inspirational Broadway tunes.<\/p>\n
The Olate Dogs were a late season addition and will bring their amazing dogs from their \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d-winning appearance to our Central Insurance Stage on Saturday afternoon, November 1.\u00a0Tickets are already scarce; so don\u2019t waste any time reserving your seat for this incredible show.\u00a0Check with the box office now.<\/p>\n
Friday night, November 7, will be a very special night at the Niswonger as the Van Wert Area Performing Arts Foundation thanks and recognizes an important individual in the life of performing arts at the Niswonger. In addition, student musicians from some local high schools will be joining the very talented and entertaining Dallas Brass on stage for a huge gala celebration.\u00a0As a bonus, we have added vocalist Bryan Anthony, an outstanding singer with Big Bands, such as the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. You won\u2019t want to miss it!<\/p>\n
Finally, we have added a female vocalist, Logan Brill, to Josh Turner\u2019s November 15 sold-out performance at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. She is one of the up and coming stars from Nashville, personally selected by Turner to open for his Van Wert concert.\u00a0 Catch her now, because before long, she will be a star!<\/p>\n
That brings us to Christmas, and you can always expect wonderful surprises at the Niswonger during our Holiday Season.\u00a0So, stay tuned and I will let you know at a later date of some of the wonderful things we have in store for you, our valued patron of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center of Northwest Ohio.<\/p>\n
