In October, Council Bluffs welcomes the nation’s top Eagles tribute artists, Hotel California: “A Salute to the Eagles.” Just in time for election season, audiences can enjoy The Capitol Fools (formerly The Capitol Steps), offering humorous perspectives on all sides of the political spectrum.

Following them, The Barricade Boys – Broadway Party features four men who all held lead roles in London’s West End production of Les Misérables.
