Barbara & Frank, The Concert That Never Was |

September 17, 2010 - 7:30pm |

Although Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra never actually worked together, it's
tantalizing to think what might have been. The Concert That Never Was features segments
simulating Streisand and Sinatra in masterful duets, including Somewhere, Something
Stupid, and New York, New York. Sharon Owens, who has a stunning resemblance in
both appearance and voice to Streisand, joins Sebastian Anzaldo, who looks and sounds
amazingly like Sinatra. You won't want to miss this bit of stage magic! Tickets
available through Wayne Community Concerts membership only.

Spencers': Theatre of Illusion |
|
October 23, 2010 - 8:00pm |
Theatre of Illusion is a spectacular production filled with never-before-seen-illusions.
For The Spencers, magic is no longer merely about baffling the audience by doing
something seemingly impossible. Magic these days is about drama, spectacle, interaction,
danger, and personality. And that’s exactly what separates The Spencers from every
other magical performer in the field. The husband-wife team can penetrate through
walls and levitate with the best of them, but they do it with world-class charisma
and style, packing one of the biggest, most state-of-the- art illusion rigs in the
business. People have been known to levitate, walk through walls, vanish, and reappear.
And be prepared to experience the magic yourself because the Spencers don’t want
you to just sit in your seat and watch - they want you to participate! In one magical
experiment, the entire audience is asked to get involved in a stunning, interactive
mind reading experience!
Tickets are $18/Adults, $15/Children & Seniors, SPECIAL Family 4 pack $50. They
will be available as part of the Paramount Performing Arts Season Package on August
2nd. Individual tickets available August 18th.
