The Nazareth University Arts Center welcomes back three popular acts as headliners in the return of the Nazareth Arts Center series.
Comedian and filmmaker W. Kamau Bell brings his Who’s With Me? stand-up tour to Nazareth Arts Center’s Callahan Theater on Saturday, December 6, at 7:30 p.m. His is a show full of questions, thoughts, and a heavy dollop of silliness. For seven seasons, Bell served as the host and executive producer of the five-time Emmy Award-winning CNN Original Series, United Shades of America. In 2023, he won an Emmy for his HBO documentary 1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed. He also won a Peabody Award for his 2022 Showtime docu-series We Need to Talk About Cosby.
The Capitol Fools, masters of political and current events satire, take the Nazareth Callahan Theater stage on Wednesday, December 31, with shows at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The Capitol Fools hold up a mirror to the country’s political and social culture, providing hilarious song parodies and foolish reflections that inspire belly laughter. Audiences will see former members of the Capitol Steps performing their beloved sketches, breakneck costume changes, over-the-top impressions, and all-new song parodies reflecting the day’s news.
Garth Fagan Dance returns to Nazareth Arts Center for its 55th Anniversary Performance Celebration, May 7–10, 2026, marking a historic milestone for the internationally acclaimed company. Known for its groundbreaking fusion of modern dance, Afro-Caribbean traditions, ballet, and postmodern dance, Garth Fagan Dance will thrill audiences with works that are at once technically brilliant and emotionally powerful. The 55th Anniversary Performance Celebration will feature new works by Garth Fagan Dance leadership – Artistic Director Norwood “PJ” Pennewell and Executive Director Natalie Rogers-Cropper – along with beloved revivals by Garth Fagan himself.
