Birdhouse Factory
Cirque Mechanics

Sunday, October 25, 2009
7:30 p.m. at Temple Theater on the AC campus

Tickets: $27-$35
(tickets go on sale September 25th)

Special 90-minute Family Matinee performance
Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Tickets: $7 kids, $15 grown-ups

When world-renowned circus stars dream up a factory, it is no ordinary industrial plant. It’s a wild and wonderful workshop where the machines are circus props and the workers are acrobats, dancers, contortionists, and clowns. It’s Birdhouse Factory by Cirque Mechanics, an extraordinary troupe of Cirque du Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, and Moscow Circus veterans who transform the mundane into the magnificent.

Inspired by Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals, the whimsical illustrations of Rube Goldberg, and the comedic hijinks of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times, the show tells the story of assembly-line workers producing humdrum widgets at the H. Rosebud Factory, until a disoriented bird creates mayhem and forever alters their lives and the factory’s future. While its inspirations make Birdhouse Factory artful, nostalgic, and funny, the true essence of the show comes from the circus. The show enchanted Broadway audiences for six weeks last December.

The show is sponsored by Brookshire Brothers Food & Pharmacy and A Friend of the Arts
Produced by Popeyes
Fenley & Bate, LLP
Jordan Family Dentistry
Matinee Performance sponsored by Blevco Resources

Cantus
All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

Monday, December 14, 2009
7:30 p.m. at Temple Theater on the AC campus

Tickets: $22-$30
(tickets go on sale November 16th)

Cantus is recognized as one of America’s finest professional male vocal ensembles.

The Western Front, Christmas 1914. Out of the violence comes a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land, singing Stille Nacht. Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music – and peace.

This amazing moment – when enemy soldiers put down their arms and joined one another in seasonal celebration – makes up the framework of All is Calm, a co-production of Cantus and Theatre Lat t é Da ( Minneapolis). The theatre/choral piece features a cast of actors and singers who use letters, journal entries, and songs to illuminate the historical moment when ragged bands of soldiers put a temporary stop to war. Re-live this remarkable true story from WWI through the words and songs of the men who lived it.

The show is sponsored by First Bank & Trust/East Texas
Produced by Loggins Plumbing
