GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., JUNE 25, 2021 - Circle Theatre, West Michigan’s go-to destination for
exceptional theatrical arts in an intimate setting, continues their 69th season with their 2nd
Annual Circle Summer Fundraising Concert. On July 12th, at 7PM, Lisa Knight will be joined by
Michelle Covington and Deb Alexander as they pay tribute to the ladies of soul. From Tina
Turner and Chaka Khan to Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, and more, Circle Theatre is
excited to bring this Circle On The Lawn Production to West Michigan. The Circle Summer
Fundraising Concert featuring Lisa Knight & Friends will take place on the lawn of the
Performing Arts Center, located on the campus of Aquinas College.

 


Circle Theatre is elated to be back for their 2021 season after having their stage dark over the
past year. This extended intermission has left Circle with the goal of raising $150,000 to
continue covering ongoing costs as they work to bring live theatre back to West Michigan.

there is more work to be done. The Circle Summer Fundraising Concert is just one great way to
support local theatre right here in Grand Rapids. So, grab your picnic blankets and beach chairs and join Circle Theatre on the lawn for a night of toe-tapping entertainment. Tickets are $25 and all proceeds go directly to supporting Circle Theatre programming.
