THE THRESHOLD: A Storytelling Series
What if happiness is not something waiting for us on the other side of achievement, healing, or becoming, but something already beneath it all? The Threshold is a monthly storytelling series hosted by Dennis Mahoney, built around brave people, vulnerable stories, and the truths we usually discover only by living through them. The theme, Happiness Is the Baseline, explores those moments when joy stops feeling like a destination and begins to feel like a return: to ourselves, to one another, and to the simple fact of being alive. This is not a TED Talk or a motivational seminar. It is an intimate evening of honest storytelling, an invitation to gather at the edge of human struggle, growth, and recognition, and perhaps leave feeling a little less alone. Thursday, October 29, 2026 at The Olympic South Side Theater. Doors 6:30 PM, storytelling begins 7:00 PM. $35 entry. 2026-08-30 20:00:00 -0500The Olympic South Side TheaterCedar Rapids35.035.0 -
Free Fallin' - A Tom Petty Tribute
Some songs do not belong to a single generation. They are played with the windows down. They become the soundtrack to first road trips, late-night drives, summer evenings, and friendships that somehow pick up exactly where they left off. For one night, those songs come to life at The Olympic. Free Fallin' celebrates the music of Tom Petty with the energy, musicianship, and spirit that made his catalog one of the most enduring in American rock. From American Girl and Refugee to Learning to Fly, I Won't Back Down, Runnin' Down a Dream, and Free Fallin', it is an evening built around songs that everyone knows and everyone sings. There are tribute concerts that recreate a performance. This one recreates a feeling. Saturday, November 7, 2026 Doors 6:30 PM · Show 7:30 PM · All Ages The Olympic South Side Theater · 1202 3rd St SE, Suite 200, Cedar Rapids $30 + fees 2026-08-30 22:30:00 -0500The Olympic South Side TheaterCedar Rapids30.030.0 -
Tyler Richton & The High Bank Boys
Real country never left. It just kept putting in the miles. Tyler Richton & The High Bank Boys bring their first Cedar Rapids headline show to The Olympic South Side Theater on Saturday, November 14. The Deep River, Iowa band has spent a decade working the Midwest circuit, playing more than sixty shows a year and sharing bills with Tracy Byrd, John Michael Montgomery, Craig Morgan, and Eli Young Band. Their sound reaches back to Owen Bradley era country, runs through the grit of the 1970s outlaw movement, and lands in today's Red Dirt tradition. Fiddle, guitar, a road-tested rhythm section, and songs made for dance floors, fairgrounds, and anyone who still likes country with some dust on it. Luke Fox opens. Saturday, November 14, 2026. Doors 7pm. $16 advance / $23 day of show. All ages. 2026-09-27 22:30:00 -0500The Olympic South Side TheaterCedar Rapids16.016.0 -
