Hypno Hick Comedy Hypnosis Show

Hypno Hick Comedy Hypnotism Show, Covey Arts Center, Provo, Utah, Utah County, Utah Valley, FamilyWitness a volunteer eat an onion like an apple! That’s right: they bite into it just like and apple and love it; no tears or bad taste. They are so happy to eat it. It is their favorite thing to eat all weekend—until the hypnotist wakes him up, that is. Then the tears fall like rain drops in a monsoon and the mouthful of onion is expectorated faster than a rocket car at the salt flats. He, of course, is promptly given water and breath mints.

Scenes like this play out at every Hypno Hick Comedy Hypnosis Show, which are almost always accompanied with sell-out crowds. Come see for yourself the power of hypnosis. See volunteers rush the stage to volunteer to be hypnotized and asked to do some amazing but mostly silly things. They enjoy singing and dancing like The King of Rock and Roll, swimming with Flipper the dolphin, and hearing music come from their friend’s shoe.

Hypno Hick has been performing for years and is a Master Hypnotist. He has performed at comedy clubs and schools, including the University of Utah, BYU, UVSC and Utah State, as well as Brighton High, Springville, West, Skyline and many other high schools around Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Nevada.

Young Frankenstein

Young Frankenstein, Capitol Theatre, Theater, Salt Lake city, Utah, Mel Brooks, Play, ComedyYoung Frankenstein, the stage reincarnation of the classic Mel Brooks movie, is alive & headed to Salt Lake City. As part of the 2010-2011 Broadway Across America – Utah season, Young Frankenstein will be at Capitol Theatre April 26 – May 1, 2011.

This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankensteing legend follows bright, young Dr. Frankenstein (that’s Fronkensteen) as he attempts to create a monster – but not without scary and hilarious complications.

The brains behind the laughter is mad genius and three time Tony® winner Mel Brooks himself – who wrote the music and lyrics and co-wrote the book – along with his record-breaking team from The Producers: five-time Tony®-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and three-time Tony®-winning writer, Thomas Meehan.

Tickets $35.00 – $67.50

Plan-B Theatre Presents: BORDERLANDS

Plan-B Theatre Presents: BORDERLANDS A world premiere by Eric Samuelsen March 31-April 10 at the Studio Theatre, Rose Wagner.

Plan B Theatre presents Boarderland, Studio Theatre, Rose Wagner, Salt Lake City, UtahBORDERLANDS is about coming out—stepping forward, admitting who you are, telling the uncomfortable.

From the playwright: I wrote a play about coming out. Not just coming out in the usual sense—in fact, in BORDERLANDS, the one gay character is already out. It’s a play about all the other ways we come out as Mormons, about admitting that we don’t necessarily believe what we’re supposed to believe, or that we don’t always find it possible to live the way we’re expected to live. It’s a play about moments of unanticipated honesty, and the revelations that result. And it’s a play about the hard work of carving out a social space for those for whom none exists in our culture. So the characters in this play sit in an honesty car, and tell the truth about what liars they are. Because they’re Mormons, they’re much harsher in their self-judgments than they really need to be. And that pressure to conform blinds them to people who really are genuinely suffering. Finally, one young man finds a way to actually be what the other characters profess to be.
