Arts in the Afternoon Scott Kirby: Main Street Souvenirs

Explore 150 years of music through Scott Kirby’s live piano performances of some of America’s greats – including Stephen Foster, John Philip Sousa, and the ragtime of Scott Joplin. The music and narratives will be accompanied by a video featuring nostalgic archival images from America’s past, as well as stunning photography, and Kirby’s own spectacular watercolor paintings of the Great Plains that “touch the soul of the heartland.” Baseball games and barbershops, prairie churches, concerts in the park, and one room schoolhouses – it’s all here on Main Street.

Following most performances, patrons enjoy complimentary refreshments and conversation with artists. This series also includes full-length matinees of our theatrical productions.
