January 26, 2015 – Dana Daniels

Dana Daniels, teamed with his Psychic Parrot Luigi (yes, a psychic Parrot), has been headlining in Las Vegas, Maui and at major corporate events around the country. With Dana as the comedian and Luigi as the straight bird, the duo never fails to fracture an audience with laughter. Dana sets out to prove his little green friend is truly clairvoyant by performing incredible magic blended with rapid fire clean comedy and audience participation. Dana has been awarded by his peers as one of the best comedian magicians working today. His accolades include: Comedy Magician of the Year and Two Time Stage Magician of the Year, both from the Academy of Magical Arts. He was also awarded The Jimmy Durante Comedy Award. Appearances on television include Stand Up Live, Evening at the Improv, CBS Morning Show, The Golden Girls, NBC’s Comedy Club, News Radio, Master Of Illusions, Lance Burton’s Guerrilla Magic and the bestselling clean comedy DVD series, Thou Shalt Laugh. He has also opened for such stars as Ray Romano, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Tony Orlando, Randy Travis, Gary Shandling and Charro. It’s Dana’s unique twist on magic that separates him from other comedic magicians and separates Luigi from other poultry.

March 9, 2015 – Todd Oliver and Friends

Talking dogs and Rock ‘n Roll! Have you ever met a talking dog, a real talking dog? Get ready because you’re going to meet two of them at this show. Irving and Lucy, with a little help from their friend Todd Oliver, are going to talk up a storm. If you ever wondered how a dog looks at life, these little home raised companions are going to give it to you straight from the dog’s mouth. They won’t mince words and if they do it’s Todd’s fault anyway—he’s a ventriloquist. Todd Oliver and Friends has been a feature on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Today Show, a couple episodes of Walker Texas Ranger and in 2012 they were a semi-finalist on America’s Got Talent. Also a major draw in Branson Missouri, the guys now are touring and bringing their brand of family fun to towns across America.

March 23, 2015 – Assisted Living The Musical

Somewhere nestled in all of our futures is The Pelican Roost: An active retirement community. On this, our tour, we meet the resident Roosters and discover their eccentricities, their desires and what gets them to and through the night. Help, I’ve Fallen (for you) and I Can’t Get Up, My Hide and The I Love My Dentures On Steak Night Blues are gentle railings against the inevitable. We meet Naomi the unsinkable, oft-widowed resident (“Bedridden? I haven’t been bedridden since Mr. Lipschitz passed away.”) There’s an aging TV lawyer who offers to sue someone—anyone—including himself. In the Kumbaya Community Room we hear from Ben Younger, a retired Catskills comedian who experiments with yoga. Down the hall we meet a sweet little old lady who’ll do anything for a room with a view. You’ll meet 18 characters all played by two cast members along with an accompany pianist. Baby Boomers and their parents think about growing older. We took these thoughts and set them to music. We make people laugh.

Assisted Living: The Musical is for anyone who is growing older or thinking of doing so someday.
