Award-winning composer and performer Shondra Jepperson is thrilled to announce that her hit program, the “In the Living Room Music Series,” will be making its official debut at the Sedona International Film Festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre this January.

Starting Monday, Jan. 12, the series will be integrated into the theater's regular programming, with performances scheduled every other Monday at 7:00 PM. Your $20 ticket offers a personal, inside look at the heart and soul of the artist behind the music.

The series kicks off with a poignant "full circle" moment, featuring the extraordinary singer-songwriter and musician, Suzie Schomaker. As the very first artist to ever entertain an audience on the Mary D. Fisher Theatre stage when it first opened, Schomaker’s performance for this series premiere marks a beautiful homecoming.

Originally founded by Jepperson at a previous venue weekly from 2014 through 2016, this marks the first time the series will be hosted at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. Described as the “Actor’s Studio gone music,” this unique offering breaks the traditional concert mold. As moderator, Shondra leads an insightful conversation with each artist, inviting the audience to participate by asking questions throughout the set to discover the stories, inspirations, and craft that define each performer.

Executive Director Patrick Schweiss is excited to welcome the series to the festival's official schedule: “We are so pleased to have Shondra’s music series join our regular programming here at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. Shondra brings incredible expertise to the stage, and this intimate, interactive format is a wonderful addition for our audience and the Sedona arts community.”

“I am so excited to bring this level of intimacy to the Mary D. Fisher stage,” says Jepperson. “Because of my generous sponsors, Cleaner Quicker Car Wash and Sefton Engineering, when people purchase a ticket to these concerts, they are directly supporting the artist and SIFF, as all ticket sales go to them exclusively. It’s about more than just the notes on the page; it’s about the connection between the artist, the instrument, and the audience in a space that feels like home.”

In the Living Room Music Series featuring Suzie Schomaker will take the stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Monday, Jan. 12 at 7:00 p.m.
