We’re so excited for the next two shows coming to the AMT stage — Roots & Boots at 8 pm on Friday, January 27 and Bill Engvall at 3 and 7 pm on Sunday, January 29.

Looking for a chance to see three incredible country music stars in one great country concert? Here’s your chance! Sammy Kershaw, Joe Diffie and Aaron Tippin join forces in the Roots & Boots tour to swap stories and perform many of their timeless hit songs. They’ll be sharing the stage, presenting an acoustic concert not to be missed. Three stars for one great ticket price! Click here to get your tickets now!

Comedian Bill Engvall told Randall Mielke of the Chicago Sun Times that “When I perform, I liken my act to a bunch of friends just getting together to have a good time. I’m like the guy next door,” Bill told the reporter. “I view my show like we’re all just sitting around like neighbors and I happen to be the funny one.” Engvall finds humor in everyday situations — “People identify with what I have to say.” Come identify! Get your tickets now!

The date for the Chicago concert, originally scheduled for Sund ay, May 6, is being changed at the artists’ request. This show will be rescheduled to a date in the Fall — the ticket on sale date will be announced soon.

Please check AMTshows.com for further details as they become available.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

From all of us at American Music Theatre, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As The 2011 Christmas Show runs into its final weeks, our 2012 Season takes on even greater significance — not only due to our exciting and diverse Celebrity Concert schedule and three brand-new AMT Original Shows, but because 2012 represents 15 years of providing world-class entertainment to Central Pennsylvania and beyond.

It has been both a gratifying and humbling experience to realize the over-whelming support of our valued patrons through the years. Simply put, we wouldn’t exist without you. This reality is what drives us to consistently ask for your comments and suggestions, and encourages open communication to help us offer the types of entertainment you most desire.

I realize you have many entertainment options and perhaps a shrinking budget in tough economic times. That’s why all of us here at AMT sincerely appreciate that so many of you have chosen to spend your valued time and hard-earned dollars on many of the over-300 shows we presented this year.

From the AMT Family to yours, we wish you a Blessed Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah and a wonderful New Year. Thank you for your patronage in 2011, and we look forward to seeing you in 2012!

Sincerely,
Jim Martin
