GALESBURG, IL – The Historic Orpheum Theatre is thrilled to formally announce its highly anticipated 2026-2027 Orpheum Theatre Presents season. Slated to be an unforgettable year of world-class entertainment, the upcoming season features a powerhouse lineup of legendary rock anthems, laugh-out-loud comedy, jaw-dropping magic, and family-friendly fun. Anchoring this spectacular season is the premiere Red Carpet Series presented by The City of Galesburg, bringing top-tier national touring acts directly to the heart of regional audiences.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome audiences back to the Historic Orpheum for a new Orpheum Theatre Presents season that truly offers something for everyone," said the Orpheum Theatre Executive Director, Andrew Driscoll. "From the high-energy tributes to our spectacular Red Carpet Series, this lineup celebrates the vibrant diversity of the performing arts in our iconic, historic setting. It is more than the shows that you may be able to see in other places and in larger markets; it’s truly about seeing them here at the 110-year-old Orpheum Theatre in Galesburg."

Illinois Extension is excited to announce that CPR in Schools Training Kits are now available for community partners, schools, and organizations to borrow—thanks to the generous support of the American Heart Association. These kits provide an accessible, hands‑on way to teach life‑saving skills across Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties.
“CPR is a vital skill that everyone should know, and providing this training throughout Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties will help more people be prepared to act when it matters most.” Said Tara Heath, Extension County Director.
Each kit includes video‑led instruction and materials to train 10–20 participants in approximately 45–60 minutes, making it easy for anyone to coordinate a session—no prior CPR experience required.
Kits are available at all local Extension offices (Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties) and can be requested online at go.illinois.edu/CPR . A one‑week notice is requested for pickup, and with two weeks’ advance notice, additional kits can be delivered to an office location if needed. Borrowers will be asked to complete a brief demographic sheet so Illinois Extension can report community impact.
Questions may be directed to Shelby Carlson, Youth Development Educator, via email, srcarls2@illinois.edu.
These CPR kits offer a simple, effective way for local groups to build confidence, preparedness, and stronger, safer communities.
