"Pirate School!"

Performed by physical comedian and actor David Engel

Oct. 13, 7 p.m.

Set sail on a swashbuckling adventure with Pirate Billy Bones as he teaches zany lessons on how to stand, talk, laugh, and eat like a boisterous buccaneer. Using slapstick antics, skillful magic, and eye-popping puppetry, kids will learn how to become “good pirates” while getting the chance to live out their dreams in the Golden Age of exploration!  Recommended for grades K-5

The Comedy Ventriloquism of Lynn Trefzger

Nov. 19, 7 p.m.

Lynn Trefzger is a ventriloquist/comedienne with a trunk full of zany characters, a lovable camel, a cantankerous old man and a feisty little girl to name a few, that have accompanied her to stages throughout the country.  Her vocal illusion talents were first brought to national audiences on TV's popular "Star Search" and she has since performed with artists including Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, Drew Carey and Faith Hill.  Her off-the-wall audience interplay is riotously funny. Trefzger (and her many voices) has appeared on ABC, TNN, A&E and Lifetime. Nominated by American Entertainment Magazine as Funniest Female Performer of the Year!  Recommended for grades K-8
