Scheidegger Center for the Arts opened in 2008, launching its inaugural season with Liza Minnelli. Since then, the Lindenwood Theater stage has seen performers like Jay Leno, Bernadette Peters, Willie Nelson, and many others, and this year’s 10-year anniversary season has already seen performances by The Four Tops, Bill Engvall, the Fab Four Beatles tribute, and Postmodern Jukebox. The majority of the touring season is still to come. “We’ve gotten off to a great start this season, celebrating 10 years of entertainment at the Scheidegger Center,” said Peter Colombatto, marketing director for the Scheidegger Center. “We are really looking forward to the Christmas season, presenting a Carpenters Tribute Christmas Show and the legendary Celtic Woman on their 2018 Best of Christmas Tour.” The Carpenters Tribute , A Very Merry Christmas , will be at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 15.

Patti LaBelle has been captivating audiences with her unmistakable voice since entering the music business in 1959 with the Ordettes and, later, the Blue Bellas. Her career took off as a solo artist in the 1970s and ‘80s with hits like “On My Own” with Michael MacDonald, “New Attitude,” and “Stir It Up.” She will perform at 8 p.m. on March 22. Patti LuPone has starred on the stage, on television, and in movies in singing and non-singing roles, going back to the 1970s.

The touring season ends with country star Trace Adkins at 8 p.m. on May 18.
