Legendary rock band The Moody Blues and 11-member ensemble Tedeschi Trucks Band will headline the spring Clay Center Presents lineup. The upcoming season showcases a wide range of entertainment with everything from dance to dramatic theatre to '80s pop. 

The spring schedule includes:

• Montana Repertory Theatre: Doubt, 8 p.m. March 23 — This compelling drama will take audiences on an intense journey into the church and the confrontation between Father Flynn and Sister Aloysius. This classic American play will leave you with your own doubt, long after the final curtain.

• Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, 8 p.m. April 21 — This show marks the reunion of the first Fab Four at the peak of their creativity. New groundbreaking compositions showcase the subtle blend of acoustical jazz, classical and electric blues fused to produce the unique sound for which Fleck and the Flecktones are best known.

• Rick Springfield, 8 p.m. April 15 — Springfield skyrocketed into stardom with the 1980s mega-hit "Jessie's Girl" and since then he has entertained audiences for more than 30 years. Sing along to your favorite '80s hits like "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Love Somebody" during this high-octane performance that will rock the Clay Center.

Special add-on events include:

• Tedeschi Trucks Band, 8 p.m. March 30 — After years of successful solo careers, husband and wife duo Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi have united with an all new and exceptionally talented 11-member ensemble. Experience the fiery vocals of Tedeschi and the expressive musical virtuosity of Trucks as they bring to the stage a unique, modern blend of blues, rock, gospel, jazz and World sounds to create a "swampy mix of rootsy, rockin' American music."

• The Moody Blues, 8 p.m. April 1 — The band set the early stage for progressive rock and helped define the psychedelic period in the early '70s, earning them legions of fans. Relive that same cutting-edge sound in a sensational show of legendary hits and fan favorites.
