Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no nerve. Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
The Wizard of Oz is presented through special arrangement with and all materials are provided by Concord Theatricals

Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum selling rock band SOUL ASYLUM started as Minneapolis’ punk younger brothers to the Replacements and Husker Dü. Their 1992 breakthrough album Grave Dancers Union featured the international hits “Runaway Train”, “Black Gold” and “ Somebody to Shove”. “Runaway Train” won a Grammy, and its groundbreaking music video brought nearly two dozen missing and exploited children and teens around the world home to their families.
SOUL ASYLUM has released 13 original albums – including their most recent, 2024’s Slowly But Shirley – with multiple live albums and assorted Greatest Hits collections. Their famous 1993 MTV Unplugged performance was released for the first time on vinyl as a coveted Record Store Day exclusive, and November 2025 also saw the 30-year-anniversary reissue of their Let Your Dim Light Shine album.
This upcoming show offers a rare opportunity to see SOUL ASYLUM’s Dave Pirner and Ryan Smith perform an intimate, one-of-a-kind acoustic set.
Jason Narducy is a Chicago musician. When he isn’t touring with Bob Mould, Superchunk, or Sunny Day Real Estate, he writes and sings in Split Single. Jason has performed with Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices), The Pretenders, Liz Phair, Eddie Vedder, and many more.
Jason and his first band, Verböten, were featured in the Foo Fighter’s HBO series Sonic Highways and in Dave Grohl’s NYT best selling book, Storyteller. Playwright Brett Neveu wrote a musical about Verböten (featuring music by Jason) that opened in Chicago in January 2020. Verböten the musical garnered rave reviews and sold out performances and is currently being re-worked for a film adaptation. The actual band Verböten reunited for 2024 Riot Fest in Chicago and released a new album.
Initially started as a fun celebration, Jason performed songs by R.E.M. with actor/musician Michael Shannon at Metro in Chicago but the performance garnered so much attention that they took the show on the road for tours in the U.S., UK, and Ireland. When they played in Athens, GA in February 2025, all four original members of R.E.M. attended and joined them on stage to play “Pretty Persuasion”.
In December of 2025, Jason released his first book, Mostly The Van, a collection of awkward, unusual, and sometimes moving stories about his music work experiences. It is available online and at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
Over the years, Jason sang the national anthem at a Chicago Bulls game, sang “Surrender” with Cheap Trick, and even sang a duet on a Blue Note Records album by jazz artist Patricia Barber.
Jason Narducy has written and performed in comedy shorts such as The Sexiest Elbows in Rock (3 episodes all found on YouTube). The episodes feature Fred Armisen, Margaret Cho, Frank Black, Sharon Van Etten, Tim Meadows, and Cynthia Plaster Caster, among others.

John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band (J2B2) is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary, award-winning musicians delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before. The band’s live shows have received stellar reviews and have the bluegrass world buzzing – John Jorgenson on acoustic guitar, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo, acoustic guitar and vocals; Mark Fain on bass; and Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals. The four combine forces to form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship, incomparable songwriting, incredible harmonic vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest.
“John Jorgenson is one of my most favorite players. He is incredibly versatile and his solos are unique and melodic, played with amazing technique. ‘My guitarist’s guitarist.”
–Peter Frampton
