Hailed as "A Modern Three Tenors" EleMenTrio performs at the Herberger Theater on April 5


Three award-winning, international vocalists, including two of the creators of the upcoming Mad Hatter The Musical, come together to create an entertaining and unforgettable experience. EleMenTrio are the new “Three Tenors” for the modern age. Join them for a fun evening of inspiring and moving music. Hear original arrangements of classics like “Danny Boy”, “You Raise Me Up” and “Summertime”, and unique versions of current radio hits and classic rock tunes by Journey, Sting, Kansas, and more!

Victor Valdez, Vincent Connor and Terry Barber are EleMenTrio. EleMenTrio has been touring the USA and Canada following their international debut in Vienna.

“My hope is to create arrangements that will not only move people through my use of harmony, but will highlight the special sound that the three of us can make together,” says Valdez. The three believe the sound they make, the repertoire they are choosing, and the arrangements themselves (which have already caught the attention of publishers) will distinguish EleMenTrio in the crossover classical market.

Tickets are $45-$55 and are available at HerbergerTheater.org or by calling the Box Office at 602.252.8497. VIP tickets may be purchased for an additional $20 and include: meet and greet with the performers of EleMenTrio, one beverage, lite nosh, and exclusive autographed item.

The world premiere of Mad Hatter The Musical is May 4, 2024 at the Herberger Theater and runs May 1-19, 2024. Tickets may be purchase at HerbergerTheater.org or 602.252.8497.

Hilarity, failed dishes, and food fights ensue during this live “broadcast” of a public access cable cooking show hosted by two larger-than-life Italian sisters, Delphine and Carmela Calamari. The sisters sing and dance to such beloved Italian favorites as “Volare,” “Come On A My House,” “Botcha Me,” “Que Sera Sera,” “That’s Amore,” and of course, “Mambo Italiano!” as they try to make it through their final broadcast together in one piece.

You will laugh from start to finish as their singing, dancing, cooking and ad lib banter with guests on stage makes this a must see!

THE WOMAN IN BLACK - Herberger Theater Center - February 8-February 25, 2024


Written by Susan Hill
Adapted by Stephen Mallatrat


Center Stage

THE ACCLAIMED GHOST STORY COMES DRAMATICALLY ALIVE IN MALLATRATT’S INGENIOUS STAGE ADAPTATION.

Direct from the United Kingdom, with a cast from the West End of London, comes the second longest-running play in the history of British Theatre. Stephen Mallatratt adapts Susan Hill’s 1983 novel into a bone-chilling drama capturing its essence with masterful precision.

Obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a Woman in Black, Arthur Kipps engages a skeptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. See it if you dare!
