Celtic Thunder to perform in New Philadelphia

The Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas will host Celtic Thunder on its all-new tour at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27, in New Philadelphia.

“An Evening with Celtic Thunder” will feature a celebration of the group’s most popular songs while reuniting past and present members for an evening of music and memories.
