The Virginia Theatre is bringing another season filled with a wide variety of events, from movies to live music to community performances. From their website:
The 2019-2020 Virginia Theatre Performing Arts Season includes folk legend Art Garfunkel, Broadway Smash A Night With Janis Joplin, and platinum blues rockers George Thorogood & The Destroyers. The Virginia is proudly welcoming back CUTC (with their production of The Wizard of Oz), David Sedaris, The Moth Mainstage, and prog-rock favorites, Kansas, this time on their Point of No Return Tour. This season, the Virginia will also host the breathtaking Magical Cirque Christmas, opera singer Nathan Gunn with the Champaign-Urbana Civic Wind Band, a concert by renowned folk singer Gordon Lightfoot, an evening with Hamilton actress Renee Elise Goldsberry, The Second City, Straight No Chaser, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and much more.
As a Hamilton obsessed person, I’m rather excited about Renee Elise Goldsberry gracing our local stage.
