At Advent Christian Village, our senior living activities are designed to create engaging experiences for everyone in the community to enjoy. That’s exactly what the Live! at Dowling Park artist series accomplishes. This is the 35th season where this series has offered a variety of performances right in the heart of the Village — a unique opportunity to see amazing performances featuring music, dance, drama, photography, and even comedy from local, national and international artists — affordably.
Season passes and individual tickets may be purchased from the ACV cashier (386-658-5343). Individual tickets will be available at each event. Individual ticket prices are listed with each event. Season pass information is located below the following event information.

What started as almost a clean sweep of nearly 50 pageant victories from age seven in Texas quickly evolved into seven seasons on the Disney Channel’s wildly popular The All-New Mickey Mouse Club in the late ‘80s and ‘90s. Now, with over 30 years of showbiz under her belt, Jennifer tells the stories of her rollercoaster ups and downs like never before, as a speaker, worship leader, songwriter, coach, and inspirational pop recording artist.

Longing to see the art of dance restored to the church for the glory and honor of Jesus Christ, Keith and Kathy Thibodeaux founded the Ballet Magnificat! Tour Company in 1986. Kathy had a vision for something totally unheard of — a touring Christian ballet company that would dance for the glory of God. She envisioned Christian dancers coming together for the purpose of glorifying God in dance. In addition to bringing people into worship, Kathy wanted the group to be an outreach ministry in which dancers would share the love of Jesus with their audiences.
