With one of the most recognizable voices in modern country music, Eddie Montgomery is keeping the Montgomery Gentry legacy alive— and having a great time doing it. As one half of the legendary duo, Montgomery earned five No. 1 country radio hits, membership in the Grand Ole Opry and induction into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, while helping create fan favorites like “Hillbilly Shoes.” Today, he continues to tour coast to coast with the rowdy country-rock anthems and heartfelt storytelling that made Montgomery Gentry a favorite for generations of country fans. His latest EP, Home Run, adds a new chapter to that story with songs rooted in hard work, family, home and authentic country life, including a new take on “Hillbilly Shoes” and a collaboration with his brother, country star John Michael Montgomery. Through it all, Eddie remains committed to a promise he made to his late musical partner, Troy Gentry: to keep their music and legacy going. Fans can experience that unmistakable voice, high-energy spirit and decades of country hits when Eddie Montgomery takes the stage at the Gallo Center. 6

AN EVENING OF LAUGHS WITH THE ONE AND ONLY
LILY TOMLIN SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2026 7:30 PM – LIMITED AVAILABILITY $52 - $108 SPONSORED BY Few performers have shaped American comedy quite like Lily Tomlin. She first became a national sensation on Laugh-In in 1969, introducing audiences to unforgettable characters including Ernestine, the famously irritable telephone operator, and the precocious Edith Ann. From there, Tomlin built a remarkable career across television, Broadway and film, earning an Academy Award nomination for her film debut in Nashville and starring in beloved favorites including 9 to 5, All of Me, Big Business, Grandma and, more recently, Netflix’s hit series Grace and Frankie alongside Jane Fonda. Over more than five decades, Tomlin’s singular wit, versatility and originality have earned her nine Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, a Grammy, two Peabody Awards, the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a Kennedy Center Honor and the SAG Life Achievement Award. Now, audiences have the chance to experience this true entertainment icon live at the Gallo Center—an evening with one of comedy’s most celebrated and enduring voices.

“The funniest disaster you’ll ever see!” On opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor, everything that shouldn’t happen… does. Props misbehave, scenery collapses, cues vanish, and the performers struggle heroically to keep the show afloat— even as the actors trip over both furniture and their lines. Blending Sherlock-style mystery with Monty Python–level absurdity, this Olivier Award–winning farce turns theatrical disaster into pure comic delight. A wildly entertaining celebration of chaos, it promises nonstop laughter from curtain to curtain. By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields Directed by Patrick Norris Runtime: 2 hours (including intermission) Presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service under license from Mischief Worldwide Ltd. The Mischief Production of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG was originally produced on the West End Stage by Kenny Wax & Stage Presence and on Broadway by Kevin McCollum, J.J. Abrams, Kenny Wax & Stage Presence.
