The Gizmo Guys, IF YOU GIVE A MOOSE A MUFFIN, THE LIAR and More Set for Centenary Stage, Feb 2014

The Centenary Stage Company boasts a variety of live entertainment throughout the entire season. This February is the perfect example, providing a taste of music, theatre and family fun in all three theatre venues, from the Sitnik Theatre in the grand Lackland Center to the classic coziness of The Little Theatre.

The Gizmo Guys are a comedy juggling act and much more. These performers will bring their talents to the Lackland Center on Sunday, February 2nd at 2 p.m. Their act includes original routines, quick-witted verbal repartee and world class juggling skills in a very light-hearted approach to the art. Tickets for The Gizmo Guys are $20 for adults and seniors and $17.50 for children under 12 when purchased in advance. There is also an optional post-show workshop for $18.50 per participant.

Back by popular demand, Bishop Townsley's Jubilee was the most talked about event of the 2011 season. Audiences can catch this entertaining, high octane group when they return to the Lackland Center on Saturday, February 8th at 8 p.m. for a night of song and dance. The Jubilee's repertoire includes African Chants, Jubilee Songs as well as Jazz favorites and popular music mixed together in a dynamic show that has audiences on their feet. Bishops Townsley's Jubilee is sponsored by Wells Fargo and Home Instead Senior Care and tickets are $25 for adults, $22.50 for students/seniors and $15 for children under 12 when purchased in advance.

Renowned actors and directors Randall Duk Kim and Anne Occhiogrosso will continue the popular Great Authors Out Loud Series this season with Three French Farces on Sunday, February 9th at 3 PM in The Kutz Black Box Theatre. Winner of the New York Obie Award for "Sustained Excellence in Performance", Kim has performed leading roles at regional theatres throughout the country, including his own American Players Theatre, which he founded with Occhiogrosso in 1981. The Great Authors Out Loud Series is sponsored by Fulton Bank and is free to the public, with reservations recommended.

The popular childrens' books by Laura Numeroff are brought to life with Centenary Stage's Young Audience Series. On Saturday, February 15th at 11 am, audiences can find out what happens If You Give a Moose a Muffin. If a big hungry moose wants a muffin, he'll surely want some jam to go with it. So begins the comic complications of an adventure that will delight young audience members just as much as the first two. If You Give a Moose a Muffin tickets are $12.50 for adults and $10 for children under 12. Seating is by general admission in The Little Theatre.

From Manhattan's famed Birdland to the Lincoln Center, anyone who has listened to Rio Clemente play piano, comes away in awe. This master pianist will perform in The Little Theatre on Sunday, February 16th at 2 p.m., mixing a strong classical background with a rich knowledge of jazz history, and adding an amazing sense of creativity and interpretation. The result is music that is different from others, and nearly always produces a standing ovation and cries for "more." Rio Clemente: The Bishop of Jazz is sponsored by Wells Fargo and Home Instead Senior Care and all tickets are $20 when purchased in advance.

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as refracted in a theatrical fun-house mirror with CSC's Spring comedy, The Liar, running February 21-March 9 at The Lackland Center. Dorante is charming, handsome, and a pathological liar. When he arrives in Paris, his outlandish tales amaze and convince all who hear them, but for each problem his clever lying solves, it creates two new ones. The Liar is sponsored by Bea McNally's and tickets are $25 for adults on Matinees and Fridays and $27.50 on Saturdays with discounts for seniors, students and children under 12. Thursday evening tickets are $25 with a two-for-one Date Night discount when purchased at the door, two hours prior to the performance.
