SUMMARY:Christmas with C.S. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Emery Entertainment presents\nChristmas with C.S. Lewis\nIn the early years of his young adult life C S Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author\, J R R Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general\, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas\, for Lewis\, took on an entirely different meaning. \nHere we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity\, laughter\, gladness and even some tears. Above all\, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.

SUMMARY:Thrivent - An Irish Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Thrivent presents\nAn Irish Christmas with Rend Collective\nAbout Rend Collective:\nHailing from the rugged coast of Northern Ireland\, Rend Collective has always believed that worship should feel more like a celebration than a performance. From their earliest days gathering on beaches and in living rooms to now leading worship across the world\, the band has held tightly to one mission: to joyfully share the good news of Jesus through authentic\, Spirit-filled worship. \nSince the release of their debut Organic Family Hymnal\, Rend Collective has grown from a small worshipping community into a global voice\, amassing over 1 billion career streams\, and multiple gold and platinum selling singles\, including fan favorites like “My Lighthouse\,” “Counting Every Blessing\,” and “Build Your Kingdom Here.” Their catalog also includes the international worship anthem “Hallelujah Anyway\,” which has resonated deeply with churches around the world. \nThe group’s breakout single “Build Your Kingdom Here” became an early global anthem\, and their momentum carried into a historic run of chart-topping albums. The Art of Celebration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart\, followed by several additional No. 1 records including As Family We Go\, Good News\, and Campfire. Known for their energetic\, folk-infused worship\, Rend Collective has toured with major artists such as Chris Tomlin\, MercyMe\, Hillsong UNITED\, Kari Jobe\, and Lecrae\, all while preserving a sound rooted in joy\, community\, and honest storytelling. \nAcross albums like As Family We Go (2015)\, Campfire II (2016)\, Good News (2017)\, Choose to Worship (2020)\, Whosoever (2022)\, and FOLK! (2024)\, Rend Collective continues to evolve musically while staying true to the heart of their ministry: hope\, simplicity\, and the wide-open welcome of Jesus. \nToday\, the band is made up of Chris Llewellyn\, Stephen Mitchell\, Daniel Jones\, and Jonathan Chu—friends and worshippers who still believe that celebration is a holy act and that the joy of the Lord is worth shouting from the rooftops. \nTickets starting at $26.

SUMMARY:Cedar Rapids Opera Presents Sweeney Todd (Friday)
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Sondheim’s thrilling and chilling masterwork\, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street\, is brought to life this January. Presented by Cedar Rapids Opera\, this now-classic tale of madness and revenge rides the razor’s edge between complex scores and endlessly catchy anthems that you’ll find yourself singing for weeks afterwards.\n\nThe globally renowned voice talents of baritone Tim Mix (as Sweeney Todd)\, mezzo-soprano Margaret Gawrysiak (as Mrs. Lovett)\, local soprano Jessica Pray Patel (as Johanna Barker)\, and University of Iowa faculty baritone Jeremiah Sanders (as Judge Turpin) will drag you into 19th Century London’s Fleet Street. Attend the tale and bear witness to Sweeney Todd’s obsessive pursuit of revenge against the unjust Judge Turpin who has taken everything from him all while the darkness closes in around him and his partner-in-crime\, the ever-faithful Mrs. Lovett.\n\nThe tale of Sweeney Todd is sure to make your hair stand on end. Don’t miss this performance directed by Pacific Opera Project’s Josh Shaw from Los Angeles with Cedar Rapids Opera’s Daniel Kleinknecht conducting your Orchestra Iowa in the pit. With two shows to choose\, Friday\, January 22nd or Sunday\, January 24th at the Paramount Theatre. Join us for this world-class opera experience you cannot get anywhere else in Eastern Iowa.

SUMMARY:Masterworks V – Brahms Symphony No. 2 (Paramount Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:We’re painting a picture with sound under the baton of Guest Conductor and University of Iowa Alum\, Fernanda Lastra. Starting out with George Whitefield Chadwick’s Jubilee Overture\, who’s accompanying poem begins by loudly stating “No cool gray tones for me!” Then\, in homage to Lastra’s Argentinian roots\, Luis Gianneo’s Le Tarco en Flor captures the essence of the vibrant purple blooms of the Jacaranda tree. Orchestra Iowa’s own Principal Clarinet\, Christine Bellomy\, brings the dark emotions and rhythms of Oscar Navarro’s Clarinet Concerto No. 1 to life before we end the program with the ironically happy melodies of Brahms’ Symphony No. 2. \n\nCHADWICK – Jubilee Overture from Symphonic Sketches\nGIANNEO – El Tarco en Flor\nNAVARRO – Clarinet Concerto No. 1 with Principal Clarinet Christine Bellomy\nBRAHMS – Symphony No. 2\n\nSubscribe to Masterworks\nFirst Time Subscribers get 50% Off. \nSingle Tickets go on sale August 11th.

SUMMARY:Taylor Tomlinson: Nobody Asked You To Do that
DESCRIPTION:Outback Presents \nTaylor Tomlinson: Nobody Asked You To Do that\nWith 15 years of stand-up experience and four Netflix specials before the age of 32\, Taylor Tomlinson has established herself as one of the most influential comedians of her generation. Drawing from her own experiences navigating family\, faith\, relationships\, and mental health\, her comedy combines a cutting self-awareness with refreshing vulnerability\, earning her a reputation for excavating humor from life’s messiest and most uncomfortable moments. That distinctive voice has earned widespread acclaim across the entertainment industry\, with CNN declaring that audiences are in “the era of Taylor Tomlinson\,” and Rolling Stone writing that she has “conquered comedy.” She has been inducted into Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Next\, highlighted in Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” and annual “Comedy Impact Report\,” and named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s “100 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood.” New York Times critic Jason Zinoman calls her “a comic with the confidence of a star” who “makes even the heaviest subjects seem spikily funny.” \nBefore headlining sold-out theaters and releasing a string of hit specials\, Tomlinson began performing stand-up as a teenager in churches and comedy clubs\, eventually landing appearances on Conan\, Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup\, and numerous late-night programs. Her four Netflix specials\, Quarter-Life Crisis\, Look At You\, Have It All\, and Prodigal Daughter\, have cemented her reputation as one of comedy’s most compelling voices\, with Prodigal Daughter standing as her most ambitious and personal work to date. In 2023\, Tomlinson headlined the seventh highest-grossing comedy tour in the world and was the only woman to rank in the global Top 10. Most recently\, she hosted CBS’s After Midnight\, becoming the youngest network late-night host by roughly two decades and the only woman hosting a network late-night show at the time. Her first book\, Actually\, Nevermind\, will be published on September 22\, 2026. \nTickets starting at $52.15 \n
