Just Announced: Theresa Caputo of “Long Island Medium” is coming to Rialto Square Theatre

Theresa Caputo, better known to millions of fans as the “Long Island Medium” from TLC’s hit reality series, will be appearing live at Rialto Square Theatre on Thursday, October 20 at 7:30 PM. Theresa will share personal stories about her life and deliver healing messages to audience members; giving people comfort knowing that their loved ones who passed are still with them, just in a different way. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 29 at 12 PM.

“The Experience” brings Theresa face-to-face with her fans as Spirit guides her through the audience. A full-stage video display ensures that everyone in the theater has an up-close experience regardless of seat location. “The Experience isn’t about believing in mediums. It’s about seeing something life-changing” says Theresa Caputo. “It’s like Long Island Medium live, witnessing first-hand spirit communication.”

Long Island Medium debuted in 2011 on TLC and follows Theresa’s life as a typical Long Island mom with one very big difference…she can communicate with the dead. Since she cannot “turn off” this gift, messages from departed loved ones can come through at any time, which leads to spontaneous readings with those she encounters. In addition to her television series, Theresa has appeared on such programs as “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “Live with Kelly and Michael,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” “Tamron Hall,” & “The Today Show.”

Theresa has authored five books including NY Times Best Sellers “Good Grief: Heal Your Soul, Honor Your Loved Ones, and Learn to Live Again” (2017) and “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” (2014). Her latest project, the “Hey Spirit” podcast, helps guests work through their grief to allow them to heal and move forward with peace and self-assurance.

Theresa has been a practicing medium for over 20 years. For Theresa, this is not just her job… this is her life. Learn more about Theresa at www.theresacaputo.com.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt coming to Rialto Square Theatre

It was just announced that Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt will perform at Rialto Square Theatre on Thursday, October 13 at 8 PM.

A singer, composer and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.

Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend’s deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music. His works, rich and eclectic, are some of the most beloved of any artist working today.

A master lyricist and satirical storyteller, John Hiatt delivers songs filled with tales of redemption, relationships and surrendering on his own terms. Hiatt’s finest album is 1987’s Bring the Family; other catalog highlights include the pop and rock of 1983’s Riding with the King, the rough-hewn blues-rock of 2008’ Same Old Man and 2021’s Leftover Feelings.

His lyrics and melodies have graced more than 20 studio albums, have been recorded by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and scores of others, and have earned him a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a BMI Troubadour award and a lifetime achievement in songwriting designation from the Americana Music Association.
