Blue Man Group at Briar St. Theatre

Around the World in 80 Days

There's no plot and no dialogue, but the high-energy combination of mime, percus-sion, visual feats and lots of audience interaction and participation make for a great theatrical performance. Once a New York City street performance, Blue Man Group has been performing for nearly 15 years at the Briar Street Theatre. All of the actors wear shiny royal blue latex paint that takes nearly an hour to apply before each show. A DJ warms up the audience, but the gleam really comes when the Blue Man Group takes to the stage and the deep percussive bass begins. Flying toilet paper reams, spraying colored water (blue, of course) and strobe lights fill the theatre. This is a not-to-be-missed trip!

Date: Thurs., June 2 Code: 205406.A

Time: 1:00PM-5:00PM Cost: $94—Members; $113—Non-Members Registration Deadline: May 26

Based on Jules Verne's classic novel, join fearless adventurer Phileas Fogg as he sets out to circle the globe in an unheard-of 80 days. It's a race against the clock as he contends with stam-peding elephants, raging typhoons, bandits, and a detective who thinks he's a robber on the run. Danger, romance, and comic surprises abound in this whirlwind of a show as five ac-tors portray 39 characters in several continents. This perform-ance will be seen at Pheasant Run in St. Charles.

At time of registration, please select from Tuscan Style Seared Chicken, Herb Crusted Roast Sirloin or Vegetarian Entrée.

Date: Thurs., June 23 Code: 205421.A Time: 11:15AM— 6:00PM Cost: $80—Members; $96—Non-Members Registration Deadline: June 16
