Shrek - The Musical at Stephens Auditorium

Shrek - The Musical

Join Shrek, Fiona and Donkey in this magical musical theatre version of the Oscar-winning Dreamworks animation. Following the same story beats as the movie, this Tony-winning show features original songs from Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), and a book by Pulitzer winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole).

David Sedaris at Stephens Auditorium

David Sedaris

David Sedaris is a Grammy Award-nominated humorist, writer, comedian, bestselling author, and radio contributor. Much of his humor is drawn from his unconventional North Carolina upbringing, his varied stream of odd-jobs (Christmas elf at Macy's, anyone?) and plays to his self-deprecating strengths, and now often concerns his life today in France with his partner.

Barenaked Ladies at Stephens Auditorium

Barenaked Ladies

Canada's finest purveyors of bouncy pop-rock are heading out for a handful of shows in 2024.

Stayin' Alive at Stephens Auditorium
