THE MAGIC OF ADAM TRENT | Tue., March 13 | Music Hall

CAA_The Magic of Adam Trent logo

CINCINNATI, OH – Broadway/TV star Adam Trent is bringing his signature brand of magic and illusion to Cincinnati Music Hall on Tuesday, March 13 at 7:30 PM in a high-tech stage spectacle that is part of his larger tour of more than sixty cities.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. Group discount tickets for ten or more are available by calling (513) 977-4157. 

Produced by the creative team behind The Illusionists, the world’s best-selling touring magic show, THE MAGIC OF ADAM TRENT (AdamTrent.com) is an immersive entertainment extravaganza of magic, comedy, and music designed to entertain the entire family. Showcasing his “futuristic” brand of magic, Trent has mesmerized live audiences around the globe, in person, and as a featured guest on America’s Got Talent, The Today Show, Ellen, Rachael Ray Show, and the Disney Channel, among countless other TV appearances. The 32-year-old also stars in his own ten-episode TV series The Road Trick on Red Bull TV.

Trent inaugurated the first two years of The Illusionists’ record-breaking Broadway runs, which served as a launching pad for his own live show and tour. “I am so excited to hit the road and bring an entirely new show to audiences around the world,” says Trent, who has always thought that magic should be entertaining first and tricky second. He doesn’t want people to remember “tricks” as much as the laughs and memories made with the performance. “This will be a show like you’ve never seen.”

THE MAGIC OF ADAM TRENT is produced by MagicSpace Entertainment and The Works Entertainment. “Adam Trent is unlike any magician working today, a funny, witty, and accomplished entertainer — the next David Copperfield meets Justin Timberlake,” says creative producer Simon Painter. “He has a knack for electrifying giant television and theatre audiences with his unique brand of magic.”

GOLDEN DRAGON ACROBATS | Tue., March 6 | Aronoff Center

The World’s Leading Chinese Acrobatic Troupe
Danny Chang’s Golden Dragon Acrobats twist more than the imagination

CAA_Golden Dragon Acrobats promo

Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Aronoff Center – Procter & Gamble Hall 

CINCINNATI, OH – The spellbinding artistry and amazing athletics of the Golden Dragon Acrobats will thrill audiences and children alike at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Tuesday, March 6 at 7:30 PM as part of Cincinnati Arts Association’s 2017-18 Presenting Season.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. A student ticket price of $15 is available in select seating locations. Group discount tickets for ten or more are available by calling (513) 977-4157.

The Golden Dragon Acrobats represent the best of a time-honored tradition that began more than twenty-five centuries ago. The company’s reputation is solidly rooted in a commitment to the highest of production values and an attention to artistic details that is unparalleled in the art form. World-renowned impresario Danny Chang and choreographer Angela Chang combine award-winning acrobatics, traditional dance, spectacular costumes, ancient and contemporary music, and theatrical techniques to present a show of breathtaking skill and beauty.

Performing feats on chairs stacked ten-stories high, the troupe has traveled to all fifty states and to more than sixty-five countries on five continents. The Golden Dragon Acrobats have received two prestigious New York Drama Desk Award nominations for its Broadway performances. A five-week run at Broadway’s New Victory Theater in 2014 marked the only time an acrobatic troupe from China was chosen to perform twice at this prestigious venue.

The ancient art of acrobatics has developed into one of China’s most popular art forms. As well as evolving into many forms of performance – dance, opera, martial arts, and sports – acrobatics has served an important role in the cultural exchange between China and Western nations. The citizens of China continue to present their acrobatic art for the world today, in order to portray their hard-working nature and set forth an example of the rich traditions of Chinese culture.

The group’s founder, producer and director Danny Chang, is one of the world’s leading promoters of Chinese acrobatics. He began his training at the age of eight with his family’s acrobatic school in Taipei and began performing with its touring wing, the Golden Dragon Acrobats, at age ten. He is the recipient of many awards, including the prestigious Medal for International Faith and Goodwill by the Republic of China’s Coordination Council for North American Affairs.

“When the Golden Dragon Acrobats come to town, the wonders stack up,” reviewed The New York Times. “Cathedrals of contortionists in backbend rise before your eyes, body by body. Human obstacles, which tumblers flip over, widen in person-size increments. The thrill is escalation. These touring acrobats from China know how to keep topping themselves.”
