This hit holiday show is back with marvels old and new for its third season!

Along with magician Kim Silverman and juggler Stefan Fisher, Hirata has crafted a show that brings wonder directly to the audience on the intimate space Marsh stage. The magicians mingle with the crowd before the show, bringing the magic up close. Then, when they take to the stage, classical magic illusions are given new life — a rope takes on four dimensions, a bottle of water defies gravity, a sketch becomes animated. Water balloons, hats and rings become the media for Fisher’s feats of dexterity and balance

Magician David Hirata has been called “a master of deceit” by Kron 4’s Henry Tenenbaum. Dr. Kim Silverman, with his flowing beard, his warmth and his magic, has been mystifying and delighting audiences for thirty years. He is President of the Society of American Magicians in Palo Alto and a "Magician Member" of the Academy of Magical Arts based in the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Stefan Fisher has been juggling for nearly thirty years and has performed with the Royal Lichtenstein Circus, Roberts Brothers Circus and Big John Strong Stage Productions.
David will be at every performance; Dr. Kim will be at every performance except December 27 & 28; Stefan will be there on Dec 27, 28 and 29.

Calling all salsaholics, tango freaks, bachata addicts, merengue maniacs, chachaficianados, and bailamosapiens... who like a good laugh! Stand-up comic Bill Santiago riffs on his feet - about his feet and yours! - hunting for the Funny of Latin Dance, as he workshops and presents his latest show.
The Funny of (Latin) Dance explores the humor of every type of Latin dance, the actual dances, the scenes surrounding them, the personalities they attract and unleash, the instructors, the wannabes, the obsessions, the trepidations, the hang-ups, the thrills, the expressions and connections and individual dance histories that every one has in relation to their own dancing or brush with Latin dancing, and of course the music. Come hear and help shape Santiago's take on the syncopated reconquista of American dance floors by the cadera-centric body language of la raza, aka the vida loca people. Be ready to share your dance stories - about every kind of Latin dancing and to share your own dance moves to the live music from members of the newest Latin Groove sensation, Benito Cereno.

“A spunky satire of fame culture”- Village Voice

“Duarte has the makings of a young Carol Burnet”- The EsoCritic

“Your grandfather laughed. I don’t think he understood it, but he always likes your little antic.” - Amanda’s Mom

“Lucky Pink Wonderland” lies at the intersection of fame and rehab, a terrible and funny fever dream of a play that chronicles the struggles of What's-her-name, remembered by the public as Pinky Peppercorn, the child lead of the popular eponymous 1980's sitcom. What's-her-name's life has since become one long "Where Are They Now" segment- she has drifted for fifteen years on a sea of booze and drugs, to find herself washed up on the banks of the Hudson, a destitute yet too-familiar face, utterly alone in the madding crowd, trying to start over. As What's-her-name soldiers on through a landscape littered with wannabes, has-beens and never-beens, she asks herself whether fame is a dream or a nightmare, and either way, why can't she wake up?
