SUMMARY:HYPROV Improv Under Hypnosis
DESCRIPTION:HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv) is coming to you straight from a 70-show run Off-Broadway in New York City!! HYPROV is “hilarious and fascinating’’ (says Time Out New York) and is “catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality\,” (The Wall Street Journal). The New Yorker says\, “say yes to HYPROV\,”! The 100-minute live show combines hypnosis and improv – two art forms that have mystified and\nentertained fans\, skeptics and everyone in between worldwide – for a totally unique comedy experience that The Times of London declared “a celebration of the human imagination.” \nYour evening begins with Hypnotist Extraordinaire\, Asad Mecci welcoming 20 volunteers* onstage to be hypnotized. The most receptive to hypnosis then join Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it\, Anyway?) to improvise the rest of the show\, while hypnotized. In the hands of two experts\, and solely crafted from the volunteers’ uninhibited\, unconscious minds and audience suggestions\, each show is an entirely\noriginal and completely unforgettable theatrical experience. Whether in the audience or on stage performing\, get ready to have the time of your life!!

SUMMARY:Stinky Cheese Man!
DESCRIPTION:Stinky Cheese Man!\nMonday\, January 22\, 2024\n9:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.\nTickets: $10 \nBased on the book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. Poor\nJack. He’s got to use his wits to save himself from the\nterrible Giant\, but a host of familiar fairytale characters\nkeep messing up his plans—and then there’s that annoying\nStinky Cheese Man! The Stinky Cheese Man and Other\nFairly Stupid Tales deconstructs the tradition of the fairy\ntale. Characters slide in and out of tales; Cinderella rebuffs\nRumpelstiltskin\, and Goldilocks meets the Three Elephants.\nNothing is quite the same and you remember it.

SUMMARY:Taylor Hicks
DESCRIPTION:For Taylor Hicks\, w in n i n g “American Idol’s” blockbuster fifth season was just the beginning. Hailed as “part Stax\, part Motown and part honky-tonk” by The New York Times\, Hicks’ intoxicating blend of soul\, blues\, country\, and rock ‘n’ roll quickly rendered him a household name as he progressed to the show’s record-breaking finale in 2006\, a historic television event which drew an audience of more than 200 million viewers. Hicks immediately followed his “American Idol” victory with a No. 1 Billboard single and an RIAA®-certified platinum debut and soon went on to make history as both the first male “American Idol” champion featured on a GRAMMY-winning record (Jimmy\nFallon’s Blow Your Pants Off) and the first to land a prestigious Las Vegas residency. A versatile artist\, actor and advocate\, Hicks has since ventured into theater\, television and film\, starring in Serenbe Playhouse’s 2019 production of “Shenandoah\,” touring as Teen Angel in the popular Broadway musical “Grease” in addition to appearing on “Law & Order: SVU” and hosting the INSP series “State Plate\,” which won the Cynopsis TV Award for Best Reality Series (Travel). Hicks’ passion for southern cuisine led him back to his native Alabama\, where he opened up SAW’s Juke Joint\, a restaurant crowned one of the“ 25 Best Barbecue Spots in America” by Men’s Journal.

SUMMARY:The Cher Show
DESCRIPTION:Superstars come and go. Cher is forever. For six straight decades\, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture – breaking down barriers\, pushing boundaries and letting nothing and no one stand in her way.
