A small update to our 2026–27 season: we've adjusted the speaker order, with Drew Bledsoe now opening the season and Brooke Shields closing it out. Same four speakers, same dates — just a different sequence.
This fall: Drew Bledsoe opens the season on September 23 — the Super Bowl-winning quarterback turned Walla Walla vintner behind Doubleback and Bledsoe Family Winery. Then on October 14, Kate Andersen Brower takes the stage — the New York Times bestselling author of The Residence, who most recently co-authored We the Women with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, a past Yakima Town Hall speaker.
This spring: Albert Lin, the National Geographic Explorer known for using cutting-edge technology to uncover lost cities, speaks on March 24. Brooke Shields closes out the season on April 21 — actress, author, and current star of Acorn TV's You're Killing Me.
Premium seating for the season has sold out — a limited number of upper balcony seats remain, available through The Capitol Theatre. More at YakimaTownHall.com.
