2016 Tour Begins

We had a sort of kick off last month in London, Ky.  We self-produced a stage show using the High School.  The real goal was to get all the equipment cleaned-up, set-up, and gathered together after having been stored in several locations and shipped here from Cali.  It took a good month getting it all to the point that it will look good on tour. We also wanted to have a venue to perform some of the new stuff.  The show itself was pretty good. The turn out was lousy. Didn't even come close to breaking even. Albeit, we had less than 2 weeks to advertise because it took the school a month to approve our use.  So in the end there was a lesson in self producing out here....that is, book the venue way early. And do a better job advertising.

OK, that said, the show is all ready to go. We are adding some cool new stuff.  We have expanded the Enchanted Garden, have an illusion to make Henry the pig appear (oh, yeah, we added a pig), and all the old routines have been updated,  modernized, and new costumes. We are also bringing back some stunts and tricks that have been rotated out for a few years.
