Looking for some quality entertainment without spending a dime? Peoria Arts has you covered with their latest lineup. Mark your calendars for two evenings of no-cost performances in Downtown Peoria, all happening at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts.
Kicking things off on Friday, April 25 at 7 pm, the "Que Funny: Latin Comedy Night" promises to deliver laughs galore. With a roster of local Latin talent, it's not just a comedy night; it's a celebration of culture and humor. Sharing the stage will be stand-up comics Phillip Jewel, Lola Hernandez, Cierra Miranda, and Derek McFarand—with Gene Moore capping the night off as the headliner, according to Peoria Arts. Get ready to laugh, folks—Ernesto Ortiz is hosting, guaranteeing a few good snorts.
Ready to slip into something a bit more musical? Then the following evening is your jam. Showtune Productions is tuning its time machine to the groovy '70s for "You've Got a Friend," a tribute to the musical stylings of Carole King and James Taylor. Set for Saturday, April 26 at 7 pm, the performance is more than just a nostalgic trip—it's a homage to two icons whose tunes pretty much wrote the soundtrack for a generation.
The best part? Admission to both nights is on the house. However, just because the tickets are free doesn't mean they're infinite; Peoria Arts recommends making a reservation to claim your spot. For more information or to snag your tickets, interested folks can head to TheaterWorks' website or dial-up 623.815.7930.
