Golden Dragon Acrobats
Cirque D' Or
Friday June 6th & Saturday June 7th, 2008
“The
impossible can be achieved, and once achieved surpassed, then
surpassed again.”- AP Associated Press
“Juggling everything from umbrellas to soccer balls—and
with props as varied as ladders and giant spinning wheels—the
performers show just why they're world-famous.” – New
York Post
“The acrobats are almost too perfect.” – Newsday
"The Golden Dragons present a well-paced sampler of a highly stylized art
form . . . There is a precision and beauty about everything these performers
do.” — The Washington Post
“The Golden Dragon Acrobats have arrived! Men climb high up tall poles
and jump between them to the sound of drums. A woman in a shining gray python-colored
body stocking balances a lamp as she twists upside down on a pedestal, her body
bending like cooling taffy so that it is hard to see where her limbs begin and
end. Paper umbrellas twirl effortlessly, held by a pair of upturned, kneading
feet; plates spin three at a time atop long, slender sticks; and a man juggles
balls at the top of a three-man pyramid, effortlessly dropping down to the ground
afterwards to screams from the audience.” -New York Times
Tickets Adults $10 and Children 12 & under $5.

Modest Mouse
Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Wednesday, June 25th
“Over
the last dozen years, Modest Mouse has traveled a craggy path
from shoestring independence to platinum-selling prominence,
without surrendering any of its stubborn idiosyncrasies. It’s
a major-label indie-rock band, less of a contradiction than that
might seem.” –New York Times
“In the '90s, the trio's agitated, aggressive
songs, highlighted by singer/guitarist Isaac Brock's distinctive
howl, made them indie rock favorites. But the group (now a sextet)
is long past underground darling status now. The appropriately
buoyant "Float On," from 2004's "Good News for
People Who Love Bad News," was a legit breakthrough hit
and 2007’s "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" debuted
at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.” –The Washington Post
“Modest Mouse makes a peculiar brand of existential
folk poetry, one that combines singer-guitarist Isaac Brock's
desperately uneasy vocals with off-kilter arrangements, creating
something strangely catchy.” –Rolling Stone
Tickets are $28
