Future street cred: “I was at Jackson Lee’s first professional music performance!” Come enjoy Jackson’s debut live concert! Don’t be fooled by the fact that he is an 8th grader at Tinora Middle School; this kid has legit chops and is sure to wow the audience in his very first professional solo gig!

Performance SmArts Studios will be open to the public during the 2024 Defiance Lilac Festival! Stop up and see what cool things are going on in the studio!

Enjoy an evening of entertainment like no other when Rob Lawson, fresh off a 14-year professional performance hiatus, initiates our stage and sets the tone for what to expect in future performances up in Studio A! A mixture of storytelling and whatever musical whims tickle his fancy in the moment, this concert promises to make you laugh, make you cry, and it’ll be much shorter than the musical Cats!
