Illusionist and magician Rocky Clements will take the stage of the Ritz Theater at 7 p.m. Saturday for his "Show of Wonders." The production is the second 2009-10 Series event presented by The Arts Council of Mississippi County.
The production is reminiscent of the old style traveling magic shows of the vaudeville era. From the red velvet and gold-tasseled stage decor, to the antique props -- many dating back to the early 1940s -- the show is an ornate and entertaining tribute to an almost lost art of classical magic and family fun.
One of the largest touring magic shows in the United States, Clements' "Show of Wonders" offers an alternative for those seeking something different from the usual forms of entertainment, and takes spectators to another time -- "once upon a stage."
Tickets are $10 for adults, and children 12 and under are admitted free with a paid adult.
