Scottsdale Arts announces new performances for the 2024–25 season
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Scottsdale Arts has announced new additions to its 2024–25 season, featuring a dynamic and diverse lineup of performances and events to inspire and engage audiences.
“In Arizona, we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our most vibrant time of year,” said Abbey Messmer, programming director for Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. “With exceptional weather, an influx of visitors from across the country and a wealth of exciting events, this is the perfect season to celebrate the arts. Personally, I’m very excited about welcoming The War And Treaty.”
Messmer noted that The War And Treaty has been experiencing significant success and recognition lately, having recently performed at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. The duo has also opened for major acts like Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile and even The Rolling Stones.
“I can’t wait to hear their soulful blend of gospel, country and Americana music in our theater,” Messmer said.
To align with Spring Training, the Center will present an award-winning one-man show “Batter Up!” for anyone obsessed with baseball, its history and stats. Jamie Lissow has added a second show to his “Divorced Dad Comedy Tour,” featuring his signature humor seen on “Real Rob” and “Last Comic Standing.” For connoisseurs, the Celebrity Wine & Spirits event invites attendees to indulge in a curated collection of fine wines, spirits and beers in the scenic setting of Scottsdale Civic Center.
