Gold Dragon Acrobats to perform live at Armstrong, Savannah

The Golden Dragon Acrobats, the world’s leading touring Chinese acrobatic troupe, will perform live at Armstrong Atlanic State University Fine Arts Auditorium at 7:30 PM Thurs. Feb. 16 2012.

The Golden Dragon Acrobats represent the best of a time-honored tradition that began more than 2,500 years ago. The Golden Dragons are recognized throughout the United States and abroad as the premier Chinese acrobatic touring company.

Hailing from the central Chinese city of Xian, the troupe features talented jugglers, contortionists and acrobats. In November 2005, the Golden Dragon Acrobats made their Broadway debut to a sold-out audience at the New Victory Theater, New York’s ultimate theater for kids and families. Their Broadway run led to adoration and standing ovations from audiences of all ages and universal critical acclaim.

The reputation of the company is rooted in a commitment to the highest production values and a remarkable attention to artistic detail. World-renowned impresario Danny Chang and choreographer Angela Chang combine award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes, ancient and contemporary music and theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and spellbinding beauty.

The only year-round touring Chinese acrobatic company in the United States, Golden Dragon Acrobats perform a wide range of acts, including the lively Thousand Hand Dance, the high-energy Spinning Wheel and the nail-biting Tower of Chairs.

Advance tickets are $10 to $20. Day of show tickets are $25. Discounts are available to Armstrong faculty, staff and students at the box office. Advance tickets go on sale January 20.

Tickets are available at the Fine Arts Lobby Box Office at Armstrong from noon to 3 p.m. on weekdays, by phone during box office hours at 912.344.2901 or online at tickets.armstrong.edu. This event is hosted by the Campus Union Board at Armstrong.

A must-see: “Seussical the Musical” at Savannah Children’s Theatre, Savannah

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Who would have guessed the guy who was born to play The Cat in the Hat in “Seussical the Musical” was right here in Savannah? At The Savannah Children’s Theatre, no less!

Tyler Daugherty is a hit as that rascally striped-hat-sporting cat.  We checked out the show this weekend and urge you not to wait until the final weekend to take your kids, as it is so fun and entertaining, it’s sure to be sold out.

Tyler is among an amazing, talented 60-member cast that includes all your favorite Seuss characters including such standouts as Vann Doubleday playing the warm, dependable, loyal Horton the Elephant; Lauren Baxter as Gertrude McFuzz; and Ali Wambold as Mayzie.

This musical is truly for all ages. My 3 & 5 year olds loved it and there were even younger children the audience who watched the entire 2-hour show which includes an intermission. (Bring cash. Popcorn & concessions are sold at the non-profit theatre.) 

The Mainstage production features both adult and children performers, along with a live six-member orchestra. Showtimes: Jan. 27-29 and Feb. 3-5. Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. The Savannah Children’s Theatre’s Mainstage productions are the theatre’s biggest shows of the year and are so popular they typically sell out by the final weekend.
