​Catch the joy of live comedy at the TCA! With late-night television appearances on the Tonight Show, Seth Meyers, David Letterman, James Corden, and Conan O’Brien, we are proud to welcome New York City headliner MYQ KAPLAN to the TCA on Saturday, October 12th. His relentlessly witty, fast-talking style garnered him his own half-hour Comedy Central Presents special, as well as a one-hour special on Amazon, Small, Dork, and Handsome. Myq’s album Vegan Mind Meld was one of iTunes' top 10 comedy albums of the year. Always loose, silly, fresh, and unpredictable, the New York Times hails him as "invigoratingly funny.” 

Step right up as the CIRCUS SCIENCE SPECTACULAR explodes onto the TCA stage Saturday, October 19th. Ringling Brothers veterans, Steve Russell and Kobi Shaw, combine comedy, juggling, and magic with science to create jaw-dropping tricks and stunts. Prepare to be amazed as this action-packed show brings concepts like Forces & Motion, Matter, Air Power, and Chemical Reactions to life with bubbling concoctions, gravity-defying feats, and dazzling eruptions. It’s wildly educational laugh-a-minute fun for the whole family!

The most wonderful time of the year sparkles even brighter when BERNADETTE KATHRYN and the LONELY DAYS BAND bring their Rock’N Country Christmas Show to the TCA on Saturday, December 14th. This powerhouse vocalist started out at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, now she will be singing all our holiday favorites at the TCA. And as a special treat, Bernadette will be joined by Lenawee’s stars of tomorrow – our very own TCA Youth Choir! Don’t miss these talented students singing alongside this show-stopping artist and her spectacular band. It’s sure to be an unforgettable night glittering with Christmas cheer!

Brace yourself for hilarity! West-coast comedy hits the TCA stage Saturday, January 25th with headliner MICHAEL PALASCAK. A biographical comedian, Michael conveys stories from his childhood and his everyday experiences with a charmingly innocent yet sarcastic edge. When reminiscing about quarterbacking his high school football team to a winless season Palascak quips, “We even lost some practices that year.” Great lines like that landed him on The Tonight Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, gave him his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, and earned him over 1 million YouTube views. 

​Valentine’s Day sizzles at the TCA! Join us Friday, February 14th for the incomparable SHARRIE WILLIAMS. This internationally acclaimed recording artist has toured 34 countries and performed with musical legends Van Morrison, Dizzy Gillespie, Ruth Brown, Mavis Staples, and the Winans, just to name a few. Delivering vocal heat with fiery passion, her emotive, gospel-drenched voice and electrifying stage presence combine into an exhilarating blues hurricane sure to leave your heart racing.

​Hard-driving and instantly enthralling, CrossBow brings their soaring Celtic melodies to the TCA Saturday, March 8th. By incorporating pop, rock and folk into traditional Celtic tunes, CrossBow’s distinct, eclectic vibe charms music lovers of all ages. From rousing instrumentals to soulful ballads with haunting vocals, a night of incredible music is guaranteed. Don’t miss the exuberance of this dynamic band!
