The Jones Family Singers |Saturday, January 14 at 8pm
The Jones Family Singers, consisting in part of five sisters, two brothers and their father, have been tearing up churches and festivals alike for over two decades. The Jones Family Singers received a standing ovation at Lincoln Center this past summer, and showcased at New York City’s globalFEST and The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Yep, it’s gospel music – but fans of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and Vintage Trouble will also find a hip shaking and spiritually uplifting workout at the core.
The Acoustic Living Room with Kathy Mattea | Saturday, January 21 at 8pm

The Second City: We’re All In This Room Together | Saturday, January 28 at 8pm
The cast of The Second City returns to The American Theatre with a special invitation for you: turn off your cell phone, log off Facebook and stop tweeting to attend a unique 21st century event featuring a diverse group of live people in one room physically interacting with one another. For two extraordinary hours, we will resist the compulsion to check our text messages, status updates and twitter feeds. We're All in This Room Together is one of Second City's best and a sure bet for a huge laugh, but keep in mind that the performance may include mature content.
