Since 1953, artists and entertainers from the around the globe have made their mark on the Van Wert community and enriched lives of those in it as a part of the Community Concert Series. The Niswonger is proud to continue this Van Wert institution by putting together four monumental acts that have been carefully selected to bring culture, joy, and wonder that’s incredibly affordable.

Catapult, the magic of shadow dancing, kicks off Enrich by pushing the limits of both mind and imagination. As seen on NBC’s hit show “America’s Got Talent”, Catapult is a troupe of shadow dancers who work behind a screen to create seemingly impossible dancing silhouettes of the world around us. In their near decade of existence, Catapult has amazed audiences with their family friendly show full of music, humor, breathtaking visuals, and engaging storylines on Saturday, October 12, at 3 p.m.

The Swingles are coming to the Niswonger, bringing with them a holiday flare on Sunday, December 1, at 3 p.m. This five-time Grammy winning a cappella group, formerly known as The Swingle Singers, has astounded audiences for over half a century with its barrier-breaking vocals and delightful harmonies. The audience will sing-a-long to holiday classics and original songs by The Swingles.

Do-wop puts a bit of spunk into the holiday season when The Midtown Men come to town on Sunday, December 15, at 7:30 p.m. The ‘60s-era group, consisting of four original cast members of the Broadway hit Jersey Boys, deliver its sweet harmonies, performing both holiday and hits. Alongside their band, The Midtown Men have captivated audiences over the course of more than 2,000 performances. 

Neil Diamond fans rejoice with a rocking full-production tribute show, “I Am, He Said”, that leaves fans astounded. Matt, Jeff, and Tommy Vee (nephew and sons of ‘60s pop-star Bobby Vee) bring the hits of Neil Diamond to life in a spectacular show that features Neil Diamond’s classics such as “Sweet Caroline”, “I Am, He Said”, “Cracklin’ Rosie”, “Song Sung Blue”, and many more. This show has rocked venues of more than 23,000 people and will now entertain from the Niswonger stage on Saturday, March 21, 2020.
