Saturday Apr. 3rd, Pioneer School Gymnasium, 7:00 pm $15 General, $12 SAC Members Born of earth and water twenty some years ago, the Mud Bay Jugglers evolved into an organized body of arms, legs and hands; a multi-headed being that was guided by the natural belief in egalitarian leadership. This shows up on stage as their cooperative style of direction plays out in their amazing, non-verbal, choreographed performances. Their blend of juggling, physical comedy, dance, and music is as unique as their working style. Doug Martin co-founded the Mud Bay Jugglers in 1980, and is proud to be serving yet another year as performer and artistic co-director. Doug has co-created four shows with the Mud Bay Jugglers as well as co-authored the play "Do Geese See God." His desire to create the unique and unusual has motivated the company toward great discoveries. Alan Fitzthum has helped to create what Juggler’s World Magazine called "a revelation- juggling and dance merged into a single theatrically expressive performance art." Harry Levine began to stage manage in 1990 for the Mud Bay Juggler theater shows and perform part-time as a juggler. He joined the Mud Bay Jugglers as a full time performer in 1995. For more information visit their website www.mudbayjugglers.com and view this 8 minute promotional video. You'll want to try to keep your eyes on them, it's far more than juggling!

hot old-timey Jazz
Saturday April 3rd, 7:00pm
“A time capsule that will transport you back on a
swingin’, swaying river of song” “infectious syncopation and the real nuttiness
of 1930’s swing era jazz.” Scuff “Skuff” Acuff washboard and vocals Recently referred to as “a circus that plays music,” the Tune Stranglers have been entertaining audiences across the West since 2003. With a smorgasbord of stringed instruments, washboard and the occasional clarinet, they perform fabulous hot jazz and old-timey music of the 1920’s and 30’s. If good ole country and bluegrass is what you like, this band can kick up their heels and hoe down ‘til the cows come home. If you prefer sophisticated hot jazz, they’ll get slick and citified and swing you round the ballroom. The group plays everything from hot jazz to slow blues, country melodies and swingin’ rhythms, cowgirl yodelin‘ to uptown croonin’ so sweet you’re libel to “want to take your pants off” as one fan put it. The Tune Stranglers demonstrate their versatility and love for the ridiculous by performing with The Mud Bay Jugglers, a nationally acclaimed juggling sensation. The Stranglers and Jugglers have performed together across the Northwest including shows at the International Jugglers Association’s Conference, The Oregon Country Fair, Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts, and the Mud Bay Jugglers’ 25th Anniversary show at the State Theatre in Olympia, Washington. While the music at a Tune Stranglers show is swingingly and toe-tappingly outstanding, the overall theatrical experience is joyous. Their stage presence and interaction with the audience is as fun and comfy as relaxin’ in your favorite chair. They have a great time with each other and share that energy with the audience, whether it’s playing the music, telling stories or jokes, or just sharing observations. For more information visit their website www.tunestranglers.com, listen to Yodel Blues and Everybody Loves My Baby.
