Moon Dog's Valentines Day Variety Show

Moon Dog Theatre presents a Valentine’s Day–themed Variety Night celebrating local artists and the Rockford creative community. The evening will feature a rotating lineup of musicians, poets, comedians, and performers, each sharing short sets in an intimate, relaxed atmosphere.

Audiences can expect a mix of heartfelt, funny, and unexpected performances—ranging from live music and spoken word to comedy and experimental work. The tone of the night is playful and community-focused, making it just as welcoming for couples as it is for friends or solo attendees looking for something creative to do on Valentine’s week.

The show will take place at the Nordlof Center and is designed to move at a lively pace, with a host guiding the audience through the night and spotlighting each artist. Whether you’re coming to support a specific performer or to discover new local talent, the evening is meant to feel inclusive, celebratory, and uniquely Rockford.
