Hylton Center is welcoming Hylton Family Series performances back to Merchant Hall this spring with three performances in an inspiring series with children in mind. The Hylton Family Series is a great introduction to the arts with great family entertainment at affordable family prices.
The Hylton Performing Arts Center believes that children should experience the arts early and often. To support that mission they offer performances designed for children, offer half-price Hylton Presents tickets for kids, and designate performances most suitable for all ages as family friendly.
There is something for everyone at Hylton Center, which presents diverse programming through series such as Hylton Presents, Hylton Family Series, the lunchtime Matinee Idylls Series, American Roots Series, and Hylton on the Hill. The Hylton Center is also home to Arts Partners and Affiliate Arts Organizations, and hosts many special events and exhibitions. Learn more about the Hylton Center Education and Rehearsal Wing.

His popular act, voted the “Best Family Attraction in Las Vegas,” gives his motley crew of more than 30 rescue animals, including dogs, cats, geese, doves, parrots, and even a Shetland pony, a whole new “leash” on life. Witness dogs pretending to be students in a classroom, cats jumping hurdles, and more. Along with the animal antics, clowns, jugglers, and acrobats round out the circus fun.

Bluegrass and American roots music fans, bring your youngins’ to experience the down-home Americana folk music you love with the GRAMMY Award-winning duo, The Okee Dokee Brothers. Long before the duo won four Parents’ Choice Awards, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing grew up as childhood friends in Denver, Colorado, enjoying outside exploits like rafting down their neighborhood creek and hiking through the Rocky Mountains.
Now, they infuse their family-style bluegrass music with childhood wonder and passion for the great outdoors, hoping to inspire children and their parents to create their own backyard adventures and ignite their imagination. “The Okee Dokee Brothers remind us of the American belief that we’re bound for better weather. Their album celebrates everyday explorers, young and old, who rediscover that notion daily,” (NPR’s All Things Considered). Recommended for ages 3 to 12.
