A native of LaRussell, Mo. with a B.A. in Theatre and Music minor from Southwest Baptist University, Amber loves to perform. She’s been a featured vocalist over the years, but most rewarding is owning, producing and performing in #1 Hits of the 60’s (& 50’s too!).
Reza entered the world of illusion at age seven, inspired by a magic show in his hometown of Brookings, South Dakota. At 14, he had significant gigs across the Midwest. Fast forward and today he’s one of the fastest rising stars changing the world’s perception of magic.
Catherine Haygood has been performing in Branson since the age of 1! Now 29 years old and playing six instruments onstage nightly with her long-running family show, “The Haygoods.” She loves Branson, her husband Jason, and her dog, Milo.
Escaping communist Russia in the 1970’s, Yakov came to this country with nothing but a dream. He worked as a bartender in a Catskills resort telling jokes each night after his shift. His comedy quickly grew in popularity and he made the move to Los Angeles.
A Missouri native, started to capture critics’ attention beginning at age seven. She made her Branson debut in 2005 and since then has not only become a headliner but runs a multi-million dollar theater in the heart of the 76 Entertainment District.
