Icenhower is distinguished as the only five-time World Champion Elvis Presley tribute artist. He has performed with many of the original musicians who have worked with Elvis including The Jordanaires, The Stamps Quartet, The Sweet Inspirations, Joe Gerchio, DJ Fontana and Duke Bardwell. He has taken home over 75 “First Place” awards from contests all over the world.

In 2018 Dwight Icenhower’s popularity was catapulted when he was hand picked by APPLE to be the face of their new worldwide advertising campaign.

Regarding COVID-19 precautions: Venice Theatre has taken cautious steps to reopen with a limited number of performers on stage, distanced seating, and stringent protocols.

To help staff plan ahead for each audience, seats are not be available for purchase at the door and sales close 24 hours prior to each performance.
