BLINN PERFORMING ARTS SERIES TO LAUNCH 2025-26 SEASON WITH VISUAL SPECTACLE OF ‘ILUMINATE’
The Blinn College District Performing Arts Series kicks off its 2025-26 season with iLuminate, a jaw-dropping blend of dance, light, and music that has thrilled audiences across the globe. The performance will take place Thursday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. at the Dr. W.W. O’Donnell Performing Arts Center on the Blinn College-Brenham Campus.
Named “Best New Act in America” by America’s Got Talent in 2011, iLuminate transports audiences into a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience where high-tech LED costumes, cutting-edge choreography, and electrifying music collide. Set entirely in the dark, the performance features a brilliant cast of dancers outfitted with custom-built, wireless LED suits synchronized to iLuminate’s proprietary software. The result is a dazzling, fast-paced show where performers seem to appear and disappear, defy gravity, and create surreal illusions with every movement.
The 60-minute performance features energetic hits from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, mixed with jazz, Latin, hip hop, and rock classics. With brand-new music, suits, and choreography, the latest iLuminate tour introduces audiences to “Club iLuminate” – a series of imaginative, story-driven scenes filled with humor, heart, and high-tech spectacle.
“iLuminate is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on stage,” said Debbi Vavra, Dean of Arts, Kinesiology, and Agriculture. “It is the perfect opening to our season, offering an unforgettable evening of light, sound, and movement that will captivate audiences of all ages.”
This performance is the first of four shows featured in the 2025-26 Performing Arts Series. Season tickets for all four performances are available for $140, and reception packages for all four events are $40. This season’s slate includes Asleep at the Wheel on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m.; “I Am… He Said: A Celebration of the Music of Neil Diamond” on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m.; and “The Divas of Soul featuring Alfreda Gerald” on Sunday, March 22, at 4 p.m.
