Adults $24, Students $10
Back by popular demand, award-winning singer-songwriters Sean Altman (Rockapella) and Jack Skuller (Songwriters' Hall of Fame's Buddy Holly Prize) return to the Auditorium stage after taking Oskaloosa by storm with their Everly Set tribute last season!
Celebrating the best-selling duo in rock’n’roll history with humor, soaring energy, charm, and laser-precise harmonies, Forever Simon & Garfunkel leads the audience on a journey from the group's early success as a folk act to their global dominance as hit-makers through the best of Paul Simon’s solo career.
Sean and Jack met on stage in 2010 when they were paired at a variety show to duet Mrs. Robinson.
Jack had just celebrated his 14th birthday, and Sean had just celebrated his shiny new AARP card, but the audience found their December-January musical bromance and brotherly harmony to be enchanting and mesmerizing.
Iconic songs in Forever Simon & Garfunkel include The Sound of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson, I Am a Rock, The Boxer, Homeward Bound, Cecilia, Hazy Shade Of Winter, Feeling Groovy, Me & Julio, Kodachrome, Slip Sliding Away, and many more! These are the greatest American songs ever written, performed by amazing craftsmen and entertainers.

Pamyua is Alaska’s most famous Inuit band. Founded in 1995 by brothers Phillip and Stephen Blanchett, the group includes Ossie Kairaiuak and frequent guest member Karina Moeller. Their performances honor and share indigenous Inuit cultural traditions through ceremony and songs passed down through generations. Their unique performances blend traditional Inuit drum/dance melodies with contemporary R&B and soul music, often referred to as “tribal funk” or “Inuit soul.”
Arts Midwest is bringing the folk music of Finland to Oskaloosa as part of Arts Midwest World Fest. Okra Playground will offer workshops in local schools and other community locations during a week-long residency in Oskaloosa.
Pamyua’s visit to Oskaloosa is made possible by a partnership between Arts Midwest, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Iowa Arts Council, and the George Daily Auditorium. The partnership will bring international artists to Oskaloosa through 2025.

THE LIGHTNING THIEF – TYA EDITION
Thursday, April 6, 2023 • 7:00 p.m.
Adults $17, Students $7
Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. And that’s the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he’s angered a few of them. Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Now Percy has ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
