Palladium Theater Announces 2012-13 Season

This year, The Palladium presents a new season packed with all new  performances of jazz, blues, classical, Celtic, dance, theatre and more in two distinctive venues. Hough Hall is the theater’s acoustically perfect, 800-seat concert hall that hosts everything from full operatic and symphonic performances, to intimate solo acts and everything in-between.  The Side Door, the theater’s intimate 150-seat nightclub, brings audiences up close to their favorite artists with casual seating at candlelit tables
