Anniversary Tour
starring
Sally Struthers
" A hail of fun and frolic."

2008 - 2009
National Tour
|
"Nunsense is good old-fashioned comedy at its best: it is
quick paced, generally raucous, occasionally touching and
totally wonderful. Bravo!"
- Backstage
NUNSENSE,
the hit
musical comedy, celebrates its 25th Anniversary with this
special National tour starring two-time Emmy Award winner,
Sally Struthers.
This zany
evening begins as the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover
that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has
accidentally poisoned 52 fellow sisters. Money must raised
immediately for burials! The sisters decide that the best
way to raise the money is to put on a variety show. Here we
meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer;
Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise
nun named Sister Robert Anne, Sister Mary Leo, a novice who
is a wannabe ballerina, and the delightfully wacky Sister
Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix
fell on her head. Featuring star turns, tap and ballet
dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show
has become an international phenomenon boasting more than
5000 productions worldwide in over 21 different languages.

 NEW
SHANGHAI CIRCUS
SOLD OUT ON BROADWAY!
Awesome!
Unbelievable!! Incredible!!!
Tour Dates:
January - March 2008
 Astonishing
athletes defy gravity and
execute breathtaking
feats as they stretch the limits
of human ability in
this spellbinding
show. Fearless performers with boundless energy bring
you
more than two thousand
years of
Chinese circus
traditions. If
it's humanly
possible-and even if it's not! -
Shanghai's acrobats,
jugglers and contortionists do it
with spectacular
flair.
"Feats of circus art that reach
literally
 breathtaking
heights of skill...the New Shanghai Circus is providing
entertainment in abundance"
- The New York Times
"Everyone was delighted with the skill poise, charm and flourish...a
very
entertaining show...2,000 kids and their parents assembled for the
Boston debut of the New Shanghai Circus"
- The
Boston Globe
"the talents of the Shanghai acrobats
are beyond
compare...watch these acrobats and be
stunned and thrilled."
- The Kansas City Star
"Show-stopping rarities of daunting
difficulty"
-Los Angeles
Times
"Fantastic"
- CBS News
The
Incredible Acrobats of China
are simply that -
incredible! This
talented troupe,
just off a sold out
highly acclaimed Broadway tour continues to WOW audiences of all
ages.
The
show is a beautifully orchestrated
presentation of
Chinese circus acts
dating back to
harvest festivals of
2000
years ago.
This modern day
performance is
enhanced by fabulous choreography, amazing
lighting, enchanting
scenery, and powerful
music.
Audience members are enthralled by astounding contortionists,
masterful acrobats, and clever comedians. They see feats of
incredible skill and imagination. They gasp at many of the
gravity-defying feats and applaud at the super-human displays of
power and extraordinary grace.
Ladies and Gentlemen, New Acts of Derring-Do
"Feats of circus art that reach literally breathtaking heights of
skill are among the pleasures awaiting the children and adults lucky
enough to make their way o the New Victory Theater, where the
New
Shanghai Circus
is providing
entertainment in
abundance through May
23.
In
acts that often
trace their origin to the harvest
festivals of more than
2,000 years ago,
this youthful, handsome
and graceful company
spends a swift two hours in a range of
demanding
performances, most of them typifying Chinese circus and constituting
a refreshing alternative to the Western tradition. Under the
direction of Zhao Lizhi, the artistry, individually and
collectively,
 attains
levels that make it seem almost unfair to single out any act, from
jugglers to the comic knife throwers and the bicyclist who finishes
by piling about 10 of his colleagues aboard his vehicle.
Fans of circus of any sort are bound to appreciate the young women
spinning six plates at a time atop sticks, while one of their number
goes through amazing contortions without ever dropping a dish.
And what about the woman who stacks chair atop
chair on a fragile
foundation
of four vases
atop a table, and
makes her way acrobatically to the pinnacle of this
rickety structure?
Or the young man who juggles
a huge
jar, usually using
only his back or
shoulders, and catching it on edge atop his head?
Or the young man who
builds an absolutely ungainly structure of more than
20 wooden benches and
balances them on
his head? What is the
secret of the young
woman who
manages to
lie horizontally
with no
apparent
support but the point
of a sword placed against the back of her neck?
And
let no one overlook an act
called the nose balance, on which a young woman
balances a glass of
water on her nose, covers it
with a glass plate,
adds four small glasses, covers them with a plate and proceeds to
build a lofty, glassy structure before beginning a series of
acrobatic moves and then walking across a bridge of light bulbs.
Confronted by feats like this, onlookers can catch their breath
while
witnessing a very funny knife-throwing
act and soothing eye
and ear with the consistently artful costumes, atmospheric lighting
and
music."

Broadcast of the Canadian International Film Festival premier
of
The film written and directed
by John Walker
THE MEN
OF THE DEEPS
North America's Only Coal Miners Choir
A
moving portrait of a group of miners and former miners
gathered together by their love of song... the hauntingly
beautiful voices of the choir... it captures the grace and
dignity of the men... their voices inspire and uplift...
“The harmonies of the chorus are almost enough to call forth
tears... may your lamps never go dim.”
- Naomi de Bruyn
“...Under the direction of Jack
O'Donnell, the rich, robust and earthy voices of The Men
continued with numbers like Gordon Lightfoot's “Sweet
Guinevere” and the finger-clicking crowd pleasers like
“Sixteen Tons”... To The Men of the Deeps - we welcome your
return.”
- June
Heywood, Mining the Soul Tour
“Among the
Canadian films, however, truly the most moving was “Men of the
Deeps” - Montreal-born director John Walker has composed a
masterful portrait of the men... Walker intercuts the choir's
stirring performances with interviews and footage of miners
underground. They tell funny and terrifying stories...”

Laughter
in Bloom
starring
Eddie Carroll
as
Jack Benny
Veteran stage and television actor Eddie Carroll's one-man show goes
beyond mere imitation of Benny's familiar catch phrases and
 mannerisms.
It's a captivating evening of theater that has Jack Benny himself
leading us on a fascinating tour of his rich and colorful life and
illustrious career
that spanned six decades...from vaudeville to films, from the
Broadway Stage to radio and television,
to concerts
and personal appearances.
"An evening of pure joy and
laughter...this is one performance you don't want to miss" -
L.A. LIFE-Daily News
|
"Anybody who
ever loved Jack Benny
(and that includes most everyone) should
rush to this wonderful performance
of comedy and nostalgia"
-
Variety
"Funny...Nostalgic...A rare treat for Benny fans..."

Angeles Magazine

Terry Evanswood
International
Star of Magic
"Enter the Terry
Evanswood world of illusions, where reality and fantasy
embrace."
- Chicago
Tribune
"...Throughout
the ages, magical entertainers have lifted the human spirit
with arts of wonder and delight...Evanswood excels in this
great tradition."
- American
Museum of Magic |
|
"Evanswood has
audience in the palm of his hand"
"What a great time kids had with St. Charles' own young,
first-rate magician, Evanswood, on Saturday. Terry
Evanswood continues to mature and grow. His interaction
with the children was electrifying.
He knows how to handle his audiences well - with much humor,
grace and never embarrassing them.
Personable from the start of his adult career, Evanswood
continues to gain polish and professionalism. He'll be a
big, big name soon.
He knows how to milk every slight of hand for all it's worth
without becoming tiresome. His cute blonde assistant is
a big help too. Given a Vanna White type role - no
voice, just lots of personality, this young lady plays the
part to perfection, adding energy to the act, but doing it
without being hammy.
Her stage presence is natural, electric, but never
overshadowing the star.
It was exciting to see children and adults become so willingly
involved in the show. That is, of course, no accident.
It's the talent of Terry Evanswood."
