Event Details

The ICC Guest Artist Series will present Are You Ready for It? A Taylor Experience at the Illinois Central College Performing Arts Center (located at 1 College Dr. in East Peoria) beginning at 7:30 pm.  The show recreates the magic of the Eras Tour in a spectacular, unforgettable show starring Traci Marie as Taylor, who has opened for national artists like Tony Orlando and the Righteous Brothers.   Tickets range in price from $37 to $40 or $17.25 for students and are available by calling 309-694-5136 or online at https://icc.edu
Traci’s attention to detail will not go unnoticed by Swifties. Her authentic costumes, mannerisms, and voice embody the essence of Taylor Swift. This theatrical style show is filled with everything you’d expect to see from the Eras Tour: a great band, exciting choreography, stunning multimedia visuals, costume changes, and audience participation. Whether you’re a Swiftie or new to Taylor’s music, you will love Are You Ready for It? A Taylor Experience. Nominated for the Josie Music Awards Tribute Artist of the Year 2024, it’s fast-paced, energetic, captivating, and a must-see event!

Norman Rockwell’s iconic illustrations did not just capture American life – they helped shape how Americans saw themselves for generations. Through masterful brush strokes, Rockwell painted the tender moments of human experience and transformed private moments of vulnerability into shared experiences that touched millions. During the 1960s, in the twilight of his career, Rockwell confronted America’s struggle with racial justice head-on, marking a profound evolution in his artistry and expanding his exploration of belonging and exclusion into powerful statements on civil rights that resonate today. Lecturer Jane Oneail is a college-level teacher and the founder of Culturally Curious, a company that curates and presents art appreciation programs.
