Peking Acrobats_header

Flipping, flying, balancing, and diving. That’s what you’ll see at the Lone Tree Arts Center on Wednesday, February 7, 2018. The Peking Acrobats will commandeer the stage with athletic abilities that will make you scratch your head—how is that humanly possible?

Few have had the opportunity to travel to China and take part in a Chinese festival, but the Peking Acrobats bring the carnival to us with contortionists, gymnasts, jugglers, and cyclists. Musicians play Chinese instruments that provide traditional background music during each act. Colorful Chinese lions and dragons prance around the stage assisting the gymnasts and delighting the audience.

My ten-year-old granddaughter possesses impressive gymnastic skills, and she will accompany me to the show. She’s always looking for new moves to master, and the Peking Acrobats are sure to deliver an enriching performance that will inspire her quest for excellence.

The entire family will enjoy the choreographed program filled with fast-paced routines that date back to the Ch’in Dynasty. Join us at Lone Tree Arts Center for a night of thrills as the Peking Acrobats perform their time-honored tradition of entertainment.

Single seats are still available here: lonetreeartscenter.org/pekingacrobats

I think we can all agree that 2017 has been a rough year. Politics, tragedies, and natural disasters have taken a toll, so what could be a better way to unwind from 2017 and usher in 2018 than a night of good clean fun? Well, sit back, relax, and laugh because we got it covered. Three of the funniest men in the stand-up comedy arena—Pat McGann, Pete Lee, and Pat Hazell—are banding together as The Good Humor Men to bring us a well-deserved night of jocularity. I don’t know how Lone Tree Arts Center finagled this sought-after trio of talent, but I’m sure glad they did!

The Good Humor Men are known for hilarious clean humor. No cussing is necessary to get a guffaw. About the dirtiest joke you may hear is from Pat McGann who is a father to three youngsters: “I got kids at home. We got three under four. Know what that’s like? Here’s a fast fact, 75% of the asses I wipe aren’t mine.”

Then there’s Pete Lee, the youngest of the jokesters. He knew he was doing something right when following his performance, Robert DeNiro called him over to his table to tell him what a terrific set he had.

Last, but not least, Pat Hazell, a well-seasoned comedian with appearances on ABC, CBS, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, PBS, Fox, and CNN, and celebrated for his baby boomer child-of-the-sixties live theatrical tour, The Wonder Bread Years. He is also the brains behind the original production of The Good Humor Men. Thank you for that, Pat.

One night only, Friday, December 29, 2017. Don’t delay. Get your tickets today and join us for an evening of laughter.
