Dennis Quaid

Dennis Quaid is an American icon and treasure. Alongside his globally beloved acting career, Quaid is a respected singer- songwriter with hundreds of thousands of miles under his belt as a recording and touring musician who’s been playing music since his grandfather bought him his first guitar. A riveting performer, Quaid captivates audiences with engaging stories about his illustrious film career and stories behind the highly personal songs that populate his multi-week No. 1 inspirational album, Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners, released in 2023, via Gaither Music Group. Combining soul-stirring renditions of original songs and covers from his movies that defined cinema, Quaid delivers an honest, inspiring performance. Fallen follows Quaid’s 2018 album, Out of the Box, described by Quaid as a junkyard of American music. Though he loves writing, recording and making movies, music holds a special place in the Texas native’s heart, and for the last four decades, he has toured extensively, displaying equal ease on the piano and acoustic guitar.

Quaid enchants audiences with a set list that ranges from songs such as those included on Fallen to rock ‘n’ roll standards like “Great Balls of Fire!,” an homage as “the Killer,” who he portrayed in the 1989 box office smash. The Emmy® Award and two-time Golden Globe® nominee is known for his roles in hit films THE ROOKIE, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, TRAFFIC, VANTAGE POINT, FREQUENCY, THE PARENT TRAP, SOUL SURFER, THE RIGHT STUFF, BREAKING AWAY, MIDWAY and many more. Quaid’s recent big-screen credits include starring roles in Paramount+ series BASS REEVES; Max miniseries FULL CIRCLE; Netflix’s uplifting film, BLUE MIRACLE; Sony’s thriller THE INTRUDER, Universal’s A DOG’S JOURNEY and A DOG’S PURPOSE; Roadside Attractions’ I CAN ONLY IMAGINE and Disney’s animated film STRANGE WORLD. Quaid’s long-awaited biopic portraying the 40th president of the United States, REAGAN, will be released theatrically August 30, 2024. Earlier this year, Quaid’s production company, Bonniedale, will release THE LONG GAME, a movie about a group of Mexican American teen caddies who go on to out-golf the all-white country clubs that rejected them.

Dante 360

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.” 

And so we all begin—in darkness.

Join Dante on his most famous journey through the depths of hell, levels upon levels of purgatory, finally discovering the light and glory of paradise. You will find terror in the wild beasts he meets along the way; and only moments later great hope at the strong woman, Beatrice, who leads him always upwards.

This contemporary staged performances of one of the most epic stories of the western world is an immersive, multi-dimensional production that leads you into Dantes universe. Returning to the stage for the 4th year, this year’s production.

Its heaven. It’s hell. But above all, it’s worth the trip.
