10:00am and 12:00pm - Mark Nizer: Expect the Impossible
Comedy & Juggling
The phrase "Nothing Less Than Brilliant" (Performance Magazine) has been used to describe the outrageous comedy antics and expertly crafted juggling feats of Mark Nizer.
Mark Nizer is one of the greatest entertainment comedians and jugglers performing today. His wild exploits have landed him on MTV, HBO’s Just for Laughs, Arsenio Hall, Bob Hope and Other Young Comedians, Comic Strip Live and LA Law. He has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, George Burns, John Byner, Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, and Barry Manilow. The late Bob Hope said, "He just keeps getting better and I didn’t think that was possible."
Making the impossible possible and the improbable probable, Mark Nizer has taken his one-man show to a variety of venues around the world, including The Improv, The Comedy Store, Walt Disney World, numerous college campuses, and all major cruise lines. He has also performed in thousands of opera houses, civic centers, festivals and performing arts centers including the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (three times). Entertainment Magazine states, "Without a doubt the hottest juggler on the entertainment market, Mark Nizer is simply incredible."
Don’t miss the combination of original comedy, world class juggling, movement, music and technology that promises a spellbinding evening. Whether juggling laser beams at 1000 rpms, or five ping pong balls being thrown 20 feet in the air using only his mouth; or even juggling a burning propane tank, a running electric carving knife and a 16-pound bowling ball, you'll discover for yourself that Mark Nizer is truly "the juggler your mother warned you about." Or if she didn't, she should have.

10:00am and 12:00pm - The Airborne Comedians
The high-energy, unorthodox comedy juggling style of the Airborne Comedians is a thrill and delight for all ages.
An act that started as a snowball-juggling contest in a laundromat has since escalated into flaming lawn chair juggling, extreme unicycling and other feats of amazement.
The Airborne Comedians are Dan Foley and Joel Harris, two skilled comedians and virtuoso jugglers, currently ranked the 3,246th best juggling team in Massachusetts.
Witness their hilarious banter as they toss, then juggle electric guitars, lawn chairs, machetes, and other odd objects from one side of the stage to the other, or while riding six and seven foot unicycles!

10:00am, 12:00pm and 2:00pm - Finding Nemo, Jr.
From the beloved Disney/Pixar film right to the musical stage, this tale has found the hearts of millions of people. The one-hour long musical follows Marlin, a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef, as he embarks across the ocean to find his son Nemo. He meets lots of memorable characters along the way, including a hilariously forgetful but loveable fish named Dory, and his journey proves to him that nothing is impossible with friends to help you, and love to guide your way. The show features songs by award-wining composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the same people behind the hit soundtrack of Frozen. Finding Nemo, JR is a heart-warming tale of adventure, risk, trust, and the strength we all get from our friends and family.
Disney's Finding Nemo Jr. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
