Magician/Autism Rights Advocate Cody Clark to Perform Solo and Childrens Show at Haines House of Cards June 16-17

Diff Way at Haines PostcardMAGICIAN/AUTISM RIGHTS ADVOCATE CODY CLARK TO PERFORM CODY CLARK: A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING SOLO SHOW AND CONDUCTOR CODY CHILDRENS SHOW AT HAINES HOUSE OF CARDS JUNE 16-17

May 15, 2017 (CINCINNATI, OH) – Having had a lot of fun performing this show at the 2015 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, Louisville magician/autism rights advocate Cody Clark will be bringing CODY CLARK TO PERFORM CODY CLARK: A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING back to Cincinnati June 16-17th at 7 PM both nights at Haines House of Cards in Norwood. In his show, Cody uses the arts of magic, theatre, and storytelling to give audiences a first-person account of living with autism. Cody will also be performing a matinee children’s show called CONDUCTOR CODY on the 17th at 1 PM. This show, inspired by George Carlin’s Mr. Conductor character on the PBS children’s TV show Shining Time Station, takes children on a magical railway themed adventure.

As for his main show, since Cody feels that his autism causes him to see the world differently, he uses his magic to illustrate this to his audiences. His routines are placed within his life story, starting at birth and ending with his recent graduation from the University of Louisville. Audiences will get to join him in reliving experiences ranging from visits to his Memaw’s house to the pain of romantic rejection.

Cody has been performing magic for twelve years, utilizing his magic to spread his message of autism acceptance. He tours with his one-man show at small theatres and fringe festivals across the United States, with his first fringe festival appearance being Cincy Fringe and since then including eight other fringe festivals. Haines House of Cards is one of America’s oldest magic shops, having been founded in 1947 to build card magic apparatus for the United States Playing Card Company. Cody’s appearance will be among the first of many future public magic shows Haines will host.

Tickets for CODY CLARK TO PERFORM CODY CLARK: A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING will be $15, $10 for CONDUCTOR CODY, or $20 for both. Tickets can be purchased online at www.hainesmagicshop.com or at the door.

AN EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS | Mon., Oct. 30 | Aronoff Center

CAA_An Evening with David Sedaris logoThe Best-Selling Author, Humorist and Contributor to This American Life 
Live at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall
October 30, 2017

David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor will be appearing for one night only at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Monday, October 30, 2017 at 7:30pm, following the release of his newest book, Theft By Finding Diaries (1977 – 2002). His new book is a collection of diaries that will be released on May 30, 2017.

Tickets range from $45.00 to $55.00 and go on sale June 2, 2017 at  10:00 AM at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-2787, or the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.

This is a unique opportunity to see the best-selling humorist in an intimate setting. As always, Sedaris will be offering a selection of all-new readings and recollections, as well as a Q&A session and post-show book signing.

Tweaking the familiar until it warps, David Sedaris mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move with his lover to France. Including his recent releases, the New York Times’ bestselling books When You Are Engulfed in Flames and Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary, David Sedaris’ wickedly witty observations of the ordinary-bizarre are always sure to deliver insights and laughs. One of six children in a second-generation Greek family, he grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1977, he dropped out of Kent State University to hitchhike around the country. Aside from working as an elf, Sedaris has worked a number of charmingly quirky jobs such as a house painter, an apple picker, an aide in a mental hospital, a creative writing teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago, and an apartment cleaner.

Sedaris made his comic debut recounting his strange-but-true experiences of being a Macy’s elf, reading his Santaland Diaries on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition in 1992. His sardonic humor and incisive social critique have made him one of NPR’s most popular and humorous commentators. In 2001, he was named Humorist of the Year by Time magazine and received the Thurber Prize for American Humor.

(Cincinnati, OH) – Television personality, author, and Food Network star Alton Brown has announced that his Alton Brown Live: Eat Your Science tour will visit the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Saturday, October 21, 2017 at 7:30 PM.  Brown created a new form of entertainment – the live culinary variety show – with his “Edible Inevitable Tour,” which played in over 100 cities with more than 150,000 fans in attendance.

Brown says fans can expect “all-new everything including songs, new comedy, new puppets, and bigger and better potentially dangerous food demonstrations.” Critics and fans have raved about the interactive components of Brown’s shows. He promises “plenty of new therapy inducing opportunities during our audience participation segments. I don’t want to give too much away, but this time we’re going to play a little game.”

Brown has a knack for mixing together science, music, and food in to two hours of pure entertainment. “Plus, you’ll see things I’ve never been allowed to do on TV.”
