Each semester, Lindenwood’s J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts schedules professional acts for students and the community.
September:
Starting this Friday, at 8 p.m., An Evening with Jon Dorenbos will be a magic, comedy and inspirational show. After appearing on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and The Ellen Degeneres Show, Dorenbos will be performing on campus for students and St. Charles residents.
The first 150 Lindenwood students get a free ticket to the show, but if you’re not a student tickets range between $39.50 and $79.50.
Jay Leno will be returning to the Lindenwood Theatre with his comedy act on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. Leno is famous for his former late night TV show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and performs over 100 stand-up shows annually all around the country and even internationally.
Back in 2014, Leno researched Lindenwood prior to the performance and made his jokes pertaining to the campus. His stand-up will have opening entertainment by the Steve Schankman Orchestra featuring the St. Louis Blues national anthem singer, Charles Glenn.
Tickets range from $79.50 and $109.50.
October:
Next month, David Clark’s Songs In The Attic, a musical tribute to Billy Joel, is on Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. David Clark is a Long Island veteran singer and piano player and will be performing with a band along side him.
Tickets for the concert will range between $29.50 and $69.50.
