Friends of the SeriesMC Foundation

Best Seat (& Best Deal) in Town

Experience Four Extraordinary Evenings as a VIP

Each year, Midland College’s Lecture and Performance Series brings four unforgettable shows to the Permian Basin—featuring world-class artists, performers, and speakers who educate, entertain, and inspire.

When you become a Friend of the Series, you’re not just in the audience—you’re a valued guest with exclusive access to the people, performances, and experiences that make this series so special. You’ll enjoy reserved seating, valet parking, and post-show receptions where you can mingle with the featured guests and fellow supporters.

It’s an entire season of inspiring performances, thought-provoking lectures, and community connection—for a price that makes it the best deal in town.

Expanding Access.
Elevating the Experience.


The new Friends of the Series membership structure was designed to welcome more people into this remarkable program—while giving our long-time supporters even more ways to enjoy and engage.

Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a loyal Friend, there’s a level that fits your lifestyle—and every level includes extraordinary access and benefits.

We want more of our community to experience the magic of seeing world-class talent right here in Midland, and to enjoy every event as part of a close-knit group of supporters who make it all possible.
