Fall at Staller Features Holiday Performances and a Star-Studded Lineup

The Fall 2025 season at Staller Center for the Arts offers the very best in Broadway, jazz, dance, comedy and much more!

Fall Highlights

Celebrity Autobiography returns to the Staller stage with an all-star cast featuring Richard Kind (Spin City, Curb Your Enthusiasm), Ricki Lake (Ricki Lake, The Ricki Lake Show, Hairspray), Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid, Cobra Kai) and Emmy-nominated show creator Eugene Pack. This award-winning comedy show brings outrageous celebrity memoirs to life with hilarious readings from the stars' own words, having played everywhere from Broadway to London's West End.

The date for An Evening with Kelli O'Hara, previously scheduled for November 1, has been changed to Sunday, November 2, at 8 pm. The date change accommodated her request, as she will be starring opposite Tom Hanks on Broadway in Hank's penned This World of Tomorrow. She will perform the matinee of the play on November 2 in New York City and then be whisked out to Stony Brook to perform her 8 pm concert at Staller. See the Tony Award-winner for a night of showtunes that prove why she remains one of the theater's greatest leading ladies.

LeAnn Rimes is back by popular demand with a brand new holiday show. Join the Grammy Award-winner for her Greatest Hits Christmas, where she'll bring her top hits alongside all your holiday favorites. Rimes last performed to a sold-out crowd at Staller in 2023, so don't miss your chance to experience her magic again this season!

Fan-favorites Béla Fleck & the Flecktones are swinging into Staller in "Jingle All the Way," an energetic evening of holiday blues, country, bluegrass and more. Come celebrate the holidays Flecktones style, with special guests Jeff Coffin and Alash. Plus, true fans can go deeper into the music with an all-new VIP Upgrade, granting access to an exclusive pre-show experience with the band.
