Bored Teachers: The Struggle Is Real! Comedy Tour
February 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Reynolds Hall
Tickets from $46
Bored Teachers, the funniest teacher-comedians in the world, are back on the road with all new jokes.
Founded more than eight years ago, the troupe was born from the sweat, tears and a love-hate relationship with the teacher profession. Founders James and Marilou Tarantino were classroom teachers and avid travelers who met and shared stories with teachers from all over the world going through the same struggles and frustrations. Through these shared sentiments, they formed a community on social media, sharing humorous skits, memes and articles – true stories and honest feelings about just how complex the teaching profession can be and how undervalued teachers tend to be.
Since launching in 2022, the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour has filled more than 200,000 seats and sold out more than 100 major theaters in almost every state around the United States and Canada. Teachers consistently hail the show with praise like “the night out we needed to make it through the school year,” and non-teachers regularly call it one of the funniest comedy shows they’ve ever seen.
Joshua Bell and Larisa Martínez: Voice and the Violin
March 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Reynolds Hall
Tickets from $45

With a career spanning almost four decades, the Grammy Award®-winning Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. He has performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world, and continues to maintain engagements as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, conductor and as the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
Martínez has been praised and sought after for her “smoky soprano” (Opera News), gracing many of the world’s top opera and concert stages including recent performances as a soloist at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl.
Of the husband/wife team’s concert together, Cleveland Classical wrote, “Bell and Martínez’s musical sensibilities were evenly matched, the soprano’s delicate voice fitting well with the violinist’s effortless playing. … Though the program retained the feel of an intimate, 19th-century salon, Bell and Martínez didn’t pass up the chance for some big, impressive moments.”

Another great place for a fun Night out-“1923 Live” at Grand Canal Shoppes, inside Venetian Resort!
The highly anticipated 1923 LIVE has officially opened its doors at Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, offering an exciting new destination for great entertainment. Building on the success of the beloved 1923 Prohibition Bar at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, 1923 LIVE promises captivating live performances on weekends and private event bookings throughout the week.
As 1923 LIVE’s hidden speakeasy magic and comedy show, Legerdemain will shuffle close-up magic with comedy and rich storytelling in a new experience performed for small audiences. One of the rarest tickets in town, the show is engaging and the audience isn’t just watching, they are part of the show. Additionally, custom cocktails are weaved into the captivating performance. The show, presented by the award-winning HKM/KDP Productions in partnership with renowned producers Adam Steck and Alex Schechter of SPI entertainment and 1923 partner Noel Bowman, created by American magician, actor, television host and theatrical producers Jonathan Levit and Benjamin Schrader. The truly intimate experience will be limited to 60 guests. Showtimes will be 6 and 7:30 p.m., Friday through Sunday. “Preview-priced” tickets are now available at www.1923lv.com. Each ticket includes one handcrafted specialty cocktail.
Later in the evening, 1923 LIVE transforms into the ultimate yacht rock destination, where guests are invited to kick back and relax with the golden era of soft rock hits from the 70s and 80s. Led by three-time Grammy Award nominee Kevin Sucher, The Docksiders – Yacht Rock Experience is the resident musical group at 1923 LIVE. From Michael McDonald to Christopher Cross and everything in between, visitors can prepare to dance the night away with smooth tunes.

“With 1923 LIVE, my goal is to keep the small lounge act era alive and well on the Las Vegas Strip,” said Bowman. “With the current emphasis on A-list headliners and mega-star residencies, the historic lounge rooms of yesteryear seem to be disappearing from the Strip. There is so much local talent deserving the spotlight, so this venue will be the new home for these sorts of intimate, live performances.”
1923’s second location occupies a large, inviting space decked out in Prohibition-style, 20s-inspired décor situated above Minus5º ICEBAR at Grand Canal Shoppes. In true speakeasy fashion, 1923 LIVE will only be accessible to guests receiving secret instructions guiding them to its cleverly concealed entrance.

Blues-Rock Virtuoso Samantha Fish Added to
Powerhouse Experience Hendrix Lineup
The Smith Center is excited to announce the addition of master blues-rock guitarist Samantha Fish to the lineup for Experience Hendrix presented by Danny Zelisko Presents, set to hit the stage at Reynolds Hall on September 27.
Fish, who was inspired as a youngster by the music of Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Ray Vaughan, has gone on to release seven successful solo studio albums, along with collaborations with artists such as Devon Allman, Dion and Jesse Dayton.
Fish won the 2012 Blues Music Award for Best New Artist and the 2018 Blues Music Award for Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year, and she was the readers’ pick for Female Blues Artist of the Year in 2018.
Fish joins a stacked lineup of guitarists set to perform at The Smith Center, including popular blues-rocker Kenny Wayne Shepherd; Ozzy Osbourne’s longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde; jazz-rock Grammy® winner Eric Johnson; blues legend Taj Mahal; Noah Hunt; Chuck Campbell and Calvin Cooke of The Slide Brothers; Stanley Jordan; Mato Nanji of Indigenous; Dylan Triplett; Ayron Jones; and Henri Brown. Artists are subject to change.
Experience Hendrix evokes an era when artists treated each performance as a unique interaction with audiences. Jimi Hendrix called it his “Electric Church,” and the Experience Hendrix tour fully embraces that approach, presenting opportunities for unique collaborations between the participating artists as they perform signature songs from Hendrix’s massively influential catalog.
During his short but dazzling life, Hendrix cemented his legacy as one of the greatest guitarists in rock ’n’ roll history, releasing a trio of revered studio albums – Are You Experienced? (1967), Axis: Bold as Love (1967) and Electric Ladyland (1968) – and earning posthumous induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. The lengthy list of revered Hendrix songs includes “Purple Haze,” “Foxy Lady,” “The Wind Cries Mary,” “Fire,” “Little Wing,” “Castles Made of Sand,” “Crosstown Traffic” and “Voodoo Child (Slight Return).”
“Jimi Hendrix was arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music,” reads the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s official bio. “Hendrix expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar into areas no musician had ever ventured before. His boundless drive, technical ability and creative application of such effects as wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll.”

Smith Center Schedule:
Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations
October 10 to 15, 2023
Summary: Tony winner for Best Choreography, this musical follows The Temptations’ extraordinary climb from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Paul’s Take: “Of course, this show offers the instantly recognizable hits of The Temptations, like ‘My Girl’ and ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now,’ which are classic Motown. The Temptations were the definitive performers when it came to this kind of music. And this musical also adds the backstory of the group members’ lives, showing us where the music came from and the sources of inspiration for their amazing body of work. It’s a great story.”
Chicago
January 16 to 21, 2024
Summary: Broadway’s longest-running American musical, this dark comedy follows aspiring vaudevillian star Roxie Hart after she murders her lover and is arrested.
Paul’s Take: “The fact that this show has been running on Broadway for 25 years proves how it has stood the test of time. It’s set in Chicago’s jazz age, and the musical’s energetic songs and big dance numbers are full of sizzle that follow that style – like ‘All That Jazz.’ This show also has an exciting story that gives it universal appeal. I know audiences will have lots of fun.”
Funny Girl
March 26 to 31, 2024
Summary: This uproarious musical comedy follows the talented Fanny Brice on her journey from a bit player in vaudeville to a Broadway star.
Paul’s Take: “Everybody knows and loves the showstopping songs from this musical, like ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’ and ‘People,’ and this is one of those comedies that keeps audiences laughing all the way through. This is also a fresh title that’s never played at The Smith Center before, so it gives our audiences a new experience. The recent revival of this musical broke box-office records on Broadway, which shows how strongly audiences respond to it.”
Come From Away
May 14 to 19, 2024
Summary: Returning to The Smith Center by popular demand, this heartfelt musical portrays the true story of when 38 planes carrying 7,000 people were diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland on September 11, 2001.
Paul’s Take: “So many people wanted us to bring this show back, so they could have the chance to share it with their friends and families. You wouldn’t think this story would lend itself to becoming a classic Broadway musical, but the creators found a way to do just that, with joyful songs and by using the cast to play many different roles. And it’s so uplifting. It’s a show about humanity rising to its full potential. Your heart just swells when you experience this musical.”
Girl from the North Country
June 4 to 9, 2024
Summary: Featuring the songs of music icon Bob Dylan, this poignant musical portrays a group of strangers and their struggles during the Depression at a boarding house in Duluth, Minnesota.
Paul’s Take: “This is one of the most magnificent shows I’ve ever seen. It has a beautiful, dramatic structure, the story and dialogue are incredibly clever, and it has a resourceful way of recycling Bob Dylan’s music to create a powerful effect. You don’t have to know these are Dylan songs to fully appreciate the dramatic flow they create on stage. But if you are a Dylan fan, it will just make you smile to hear a Dylan song you thought you knew and understood, that is now reimagined in a very effective way.”
Peter Pan
June 18 to 23, 2024
Summary: Based on E.M. Barry’s beloved play, this musical brings to life the whimsical adventures of Peter Pan, who whisks the Darling children away to the magical Neverland.
Paul’s Take: “There is a very talented creative team putting this show together, and they are taking this tried-and-true story and putting it back on stage in a very exciting and unexpected way. Most people when they think of ‘Peter Pan’ as theater, they think of Cathy Rigby in an almost campy production, and this show’s team is taking that as a point of departure. There will be a lot of surprises, and the production values are very high. It will not be your grandfather’s ‘Peter Pan.’ This will be so large-scale and entertaining, it will not only be a great introduction to theater for kids, but it will also be a thrill for adults, too.”
Single tickets for Beetlejuice, Les Misérables, Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, and Chicago will go on sale to the public Friday, June 16.
The remaining titles will go on single ticket on sale this fall.
