Leanne Morgan- The Time Of Our Lives Tour
2026-07-30 19:00 - 2026-07-31 21:00 | Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas
Leanne Morgan rose to prominence with her debut Netflix special I’m Every Woman, showcasing her signature blend of relatable humor and Southern charm. Since early 2023, the special has become Netflix’s most-viewed stand-up special from a female comedian globally, cementing Morgan’s breakout success after more than 25 years on the road building a devoted fanbase.
That momentum quickly translated to the stage. In the first six months of her Just Getting Started tour, Morgan sold more than 100,000 tickets, headlining prestigious venues including the Chicago Theatre, American Airlines Arena, and Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium in her native Tennessee. Her seamless transition from intimate comedy clubs to large-scale theaters and arenas affirmed her status as a major force in stand-up.
Morgan’s second Netflix special, Unspeakable Things, premiered on November 4, 2025, debuting at #1 worldwide. The special earned a 2026 Critics’ Choice Association nomination for Best Comedy Special and won a 2026 Gracie Award, further cementing her growing industry recognition. It marks the second of multiple planned hour-long specials for Netflix.
A native of rural Tennessee, Morgan has built her career on finding humor in the everyday family life, marriage, and the unexpected twists of getting older. Her warm, candid storytelling and sharp observational style continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
In September 2024, Morgan released her debut book, What in the World?!, published by Random House / Convergent, which quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Expanding her creative footprint even further, she stars in her own Netflix sitcom Leanne, created in partnership with acclaimed producer Chuck Lorre. The 16-episode, multi-camera comedy premiered July 31, 2025, and debuted in Netflix’s Global Top 10. Inspired by her stand-up, the series follows a woman rebuilding her life after an unexpected divorce, blending humor and heart in equal measure. The show is currently in production on its second season.
Morgan’s rising influence has been widely recognized across the industry, including being named The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 100 Most Powerful Women in Entertainment. She also appears in the Amazon Prime Video Feature You’re Cordially Invited, starring alongside Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon.
Despite her busy schedule, Morgan remains grounded, cherishing precious moments with her husband, three children, grandbabies, and beloved beagle in Knoxville, Tennessee.

George Lopez
2026-07-24 19:30 - 21:30 | Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas
18+ Audiences Only
George Lopez’s illustrious and multi-faceted career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy, and late-night television. Lopez has broken ground for Latino comics by embracing his ethnicity, confronting racial stereotypes, and fighting for his community on and off the stage.
Lopez stars in and executive produces his multi-camera comedy series for NBC, Lopez vs Lopez, featuring his real-life daughter, Mayan Lopez. The family sitcom, recently renewed for its third season, stars father and daughter in a fictionalized version of their real-life relationship, exploring dysfunction, reconnection, and all the pain and joy in between.
Lopez joined the DC Extended Universe, starring in the Warner Bros. Latin superhero
film, Blue Beetle. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto and featuring a predominantly Latino
cast, the film follows its first ever Mexican American teenager turned superhero. The
movie received nominations for Best Superhero Film at the 2024 Saturn Awards and for Best Superhero Movie at the 2024 Critics Choice Super Awards. Lopez can also be
seen in Snoop Dogg’s Amazon MGM sports comedy, The Underdoggs, and in the
independent holiday comedy How the Gringo Stole Christmas, directed by Angel
Gracia.
Lopez released the third installment of his middle-grade novel series, Chupacarter and
the Screaming Sombrero this March. He is currently performing stand-up across the
country on his Comedy Tour.
Lopez has four HBO specials: The Wall (2017), It’s Not Me, It’s You (2012), Tall, Dark
and Chicano (2009), which was nominated for a Best Comedy Album Grammy Award,
and America’s Mexican (2007). His acclaimed comedy concert, Why You Crying?, debuted on Showtime in 2004. He released his third stand-up CD, El Mas Chingon, in 2006, earning another Grammy nomination. In 2004, he was nominated for his first Grammy in the same category for Team Leader.
On television, Lopez produced and starred in Lopez, a semi-autobiographical single
camera sitcom for two seasons on TV Land. The series explored his struggle between
two worlds and the crises that are often of his own making. In 2014, Lopez co-created
and starred in the multi-camera ensemble comedy Saint George for FX. He hosted
TBS’ inaugural late night talk show, Lopez Tonight, for two seasons, marking Lopez’s
return to series television after co-creating, writing, producing and starring in Warner
Bros. Television’s groundbreaking hit sitcom George Lopez, which ran for six seasons
on ABC. The show remains a hit with viewers on both broadcast stations and cable TV’s Nick at Nite, ranking as one of the top-rated shows on the network.
Lopez’s extensive film credits include Walking with Herb opposite Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, IFC Films’ modern-day Western No Man’s Land, The Tax
Collector with Shia LaBeouf, El Chicano alongside Raúl Castillo, Aimee Garcia and
Emilio Rivera, the romantic comedy box-office hit Valentine’s Day, The Spy Next
Door with Jackie Chan, and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. He starred in
and produced the inspirational drama, Spare Parts, based on a true story about four
undocumented Mexican American teens who team up to build a robot for a national
competition. An icon and advocate for Latino representation, Lopez was the focus of
the award-winning documentary Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the
American Dream, as he struggles to stand for Latinos in a manner true to their realities
and aspirations.
Lopez has lent his voice to a string of animated blockbuster films including Gnome
Alone, Escape from Planet Earth, as well as the Rio, Smurfs, Beverly Hills
Chihuahua, and Cats & Dogs franchises.
In May 2004, Lopez’s autobiography, Why You Crying?, entered The New York
Times Bestseller Top 20 List. The book was co-written by Emmy-winning writer and
sportscaster Armen Keteyian. Lopez released his second memoir in 2013, I’m
Not Gonna Lie And Other Lies You Tell When You Turn 50, in which he shares the
unabashed and hilarious truth about aging – as only he can.
In 2005, Time named him one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America and the
Harris Poll named him one of the Top Ten Favorite Television Personalities. The
following year, Lopez received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Roman Street
2026-07-11 19:30 | Rea-Greathouse Recital Hall, 1310 Farm to Market 1788, Midlan, TX, 79707, United States
Brothers Noah and Josh Thompson put their guitars together to form Roman Street. Since the college years, this brotherly jam session has developed into a Billboard/iTunes charting band who many have dubbed ‘the next generation’ of Jazz Fusion. Roman Street, named for an old roman street in the Alps where they studied guitar, is an internationally trained instrumental band specializing in improvisational fusion of Classical, Gypsy and Contemporary Jazz, Latin, and Nuevo Flamenco. A departure from the over-produced music that is out there today, they keep it simple—the beautifully organic sound of acoustic instruments played by talented people who love what they are doing. Whether performing as a guitar duo, or with a backing band, Roman Street astounds with music that appeals to fans of many genres.
