With audience participation that combines movement, music and language, young and old will delight in learning new songs that children from Latin America know and love.

Noted one parent, “Maria Del Rey’s joy, vivacity and personality are so refreshing to kids learning Spanish.” She is an award-winning producer of the successful “Lullabies of Latin America,” and A Universe of Song,” available on Music for Little People, Kid Rhino and AOL/Time Warner. Bring the family and come enjoy an artist who bridges cultures in her fun-filled concert. Smythe & Saucier Circo Comedia Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 3:00 Main Stage - $9 Not Just for Kids This comedy circus of two (“small on performers, large on laughs”) presents the perfect combination of circus, theater and vaudeville for audience members of all ages. Unpredictable thrills, sidesplitting antics and daredevil stunts are the signature style of this duo from Montreal. Jean Saucier is the straight man, as well as unicyclist, stuntman, and juggler, while Lawrence Smythe is the rubber-faced prankster and clown who describes the act as “Monty Python meets Cirque du Soleil.” As a child in Montreal, Saucier was sufficiently inspired by telecasts of European circus shows to purchase his first unicycle; Smythe drew his early impetus from such classic artists as Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Carol Burnett. A wonderfully funny show for the entire family!

The Princely Players for Young People Sunday, January 30, 2005 at 3:00 Recital Hall - $9 Not Just for Kids The Princely Players combine education and entertainment in a workshop that reaches out to young people raised on pop and rap.

Come enjoy this potent performance group that has become a traveling course in African-American history.
