The McKnight Center for the Performing Arts in Stillwater has announced some heavy-hitting acts for its 2021-2022 season lineup, including country music star Tim McGraw and Broadway icon Bernadette Peters.
Any performance at Oklahoma State University’s McKnight Center is worth attending because the facility is so impressive, with excellent acoustics and a beautiful setting. It’s wonderful to see the performing arts returning thanks to vaccines and a drop in COVID-19 numbers. While the center kept some performances going, seating capacity was limited.
