SUMMARY:B—The Underwater Bubble Show
DESCRIPTION:Take a dive into a visual\, musical\, and spectacular show that transports you into an imaginary underwater world. Using cutting-edge laser technology\, soap bubble tornadoes\, optical illusions\, and more\, B—The Underwater Bubble Show is an interactive performance that appeals to children and adults alike.  \nThe show follows Mr. B\, a creature of modern habits who “always feels pressed by a thousand things to do in a world that seems to be moving too fast.” The office worker discovers a little aquarium that appears like magic inside his briefcase and becomes enchanted by the wondrous underwater world of Bubblelandia\, which is full of seahorses\, dragon fish\, starfish\, mermaids\, and other creatures.  \nInspired by childhood standards like “Alice in Wonderland\,” “The Little Mermaid\,” and “Peter Pan\,” B—The Underwater Bubble Show is a modern fairy tale with one major twist. “Each classic tale represents a journey of a kid who grows up and learns something\,” explains co-creator and director Enrico Pezzoli. “We wanted a story about an adult character who discovers that he can still go back and enjoy life. Sometimes we need to step backwards for a bit and re-start.”  \nTaking cues from Cirque du Soleil\, The Underwater Bubble Show blends drama\, mime\, dance\, puppetry\, juggling\, and more with imaginative costumes and creative visual effects for a truly immersive experience.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Richman
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Tommy Larkins on the Drums\n“Richman is one of America’s most unique and dynamic songwriters.” – Nashville Scene  \n“Richman didn’t need much else besides a beat to work his magic.” – New York Daily News  \n“Buy tickets early. Buy tickets often. This is just good general life advice\, but even more so when you’re talking about Jonathan Richman. Don’t get denied at the door\, don’t leave things up to chance: You will regret it.” – Nashville Scene  \n“Rhymes worthy of Ogden Nash.” – The New York Times  \n“Richman has spent decades removing barriers between himself and his audience\, cultivating an intimacy that is almost extinct in modern music.”– Nashville Scene \nFrom the artist himself: “The music we’re doing now works well in quiet places like theaters and performing art centers. We still don’t use a program or a set list so we don’t know what we’ll do until we do it. Please do not expect old songs. Many singers my age do a retrospective; this show is not like that. It’s mostly stuff made up in the last 3 and 4 years. Some of the songs presented might be in different languages; this is not to be esoteric or clever\, it’s because the different languages help me express different feelings sometimes. One last thing\, my idea of a good show has nothing to do with applause. It’s about if all the songs I sang that night were ones that I felt.” \n  \nThis event is presented by Alternative Concert Group\, an independent organization separate from Marcus Performing Arts Center (MPAC).

Ray‘s vast catalog spans eight full length records\, multiple Grammy nominations\, and chart-topping radio singles. \nABOUT RAY LAMONTAGNE\nRay LaMontagne has released 8 studio albums\, 6 of which have reached Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart and Billboard’s Digital Albums chart. Additionally\, his 2010 album God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise won the Grammy for Best Folk Album and was nominated in the coveted Song of The Year category for “Beg Steal or Borrow.” \nEach release from his catalog over the last 16 years carries its own character and feel. Having worked with producers Ethan Johns\, Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and Jim James of My Morning Jacket\, Ray’s vast sonic catalog has been called everything from “a perfect throwback to the lost art of the album-length format\,” from Entertainment Weekly to “epic and magical\,” from Rolling Stone and “gorgeous and ambitious\,” from Esquire.  NPR’s All Things Considered said that Ray throughout the course of his career “has continued to push himself in different directions\,” while People called Ray a “marvel of nature.” \nThis event is presented by 88NINE\, an independent organization separate from the Marcus Performing Arts Center.

Widely recognized as the world’s premier tribute to ELO\, they are known for their brilliant arrangements\, flawless musicianship\, and superlative vocals.
