Ken Double returns to Long Center on Saturday June 4th, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. for his 40th Annual Variety Show.

Ken will be at the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ presenting his inimitable arrangements. Our guest artist this year is Audrey Johnson, Mezzo Soprano. Ken will also accompany Audrey and perform solo at the console of the Mighty Wurlitzer -- and as always we'll screen a silent comedy short!
