Among the 28 shows coming to the LBC this season, comedians Matt Rife and Nimesh Patel will have you laughing your cares away. The music of Matteo Bocelli, Carley Pearce, and Teo González will draw you to the edge of your seat—and to your feet! You can escape to your imagination with The World Ballet Series’ Cinderella and Parsons Dance.
You can create happy family memories with Blippi—The Wonderful World Tour and our Family Fun Series’ The Magic School Bus. You can discover new ideas with a lineup of speakers, including astrophysicist Dr. Neil de Grasse Tyson, comedian Molly Shannon, and psychic medium Matt Fraser.
