SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. — The Midwest Theater is proud to announce that country artist Craig Wayne Boyd, winner of The Voice season seven, will perform live on May 8, 2026, in a special benefit concert supporting neighbors affected by the recent fires in the Panhandle.
This event carries a powerful meaning for the community. The Midwest Theater itself was born from resilience. Built 80 years ago on the ashes of the former Egyptian Theater. Over the decades, residents have repeatedly rallied to preserve the theater. Most recently its iconic marquee, even after fire and hail damage threatened its future. That same spirit of unity now fuels this benefit concert.
“The support we have felt from people throughout the entire valley for the theater is humbling,” said Midwest Theater executive director Krista Baird. “Our community has always rebuilt, restored and risen together. Turning the Craig Wayne Boyd concert into a benefit concert for our 80th Anniversary seemed like the perfect thing to do. It is a way to turn music into meaningful action.”
Concert proceeds will go directly toward relief efforts for families recovering from the recent fires, helping them rebuild and restore what was lost. Donation to be made to Oregon Trail Community Foundation - Morrill Fire Relief Fund.
