Introducing The Spotlight Series
The Palace Theater is delighted to present our inaugural Spotlight Series Membership! Gathering several of our popular speaker series under one umbrella, The Spotlight Series is a curated collection of presentations designed to entertain, educate, and inspire. The Spotlight Series Membership provides an affordable way to attend multiple events!
These events shine a light on remarkable people and experiences while showcasing the art of storytelling. Table Readings and I Wrote That! Author Talks offer insights into the creative process of writing, while 2ND ACT features the extraordinary things people do in the second half of their lives. Our newest addition to the series, Immigrant Stories, presents first-person accounts of moving to a new country and starting over.

Additionally, our CommUNITY Spotlight Series events are interactive presentations that gather speakers and audiences around diverse topics, with the goal of creating a more understanding community. This seasonβs presentations include a comedy night, a womenβs luncheon and speaker panel, and a celebration of Juneteenth.
