Artist Alan Parkinson is back in celebration of Architects of Air’s 20th anniversary! Exxopolis takes its inspiration from natural geometry and architecture. The completed structure occupies half of a soccer field and rises to the height of a 3-story house! This giant structure will astonish you with its colorful domes and beautiful stained glass effects. This is a work of art that must be seen to be believed! architects-of-air.com ALL AGES | MAZEROSKI FIELD

Egg and Spoon
Jump head-first into unbridled silliness with the clown clean-up crew — three former stars of Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Brothers and the Moscow Circus. Rooted in the unique style of theatrical clowning, AGA-BOOM brings together the best traditions of circus arts, physical comedy and European avant-garde. Get ready for a liveaction cartoon, exploding with sophisticated slapstick, outlandish chases and the most chaotic finale ever. agaboom.com AGES 3 AND UP | CHARITY RANDALL THEATRE

Featured Performances
The Girl who Forgot to Sing Badly
Charlotte Blake Alston (USA)
Tales that make you say, “Hmmmm. Why?” You may find yourself asking, “What will Turtle do next?” and “What would I do in that situation?”. This tradition followed Africans to America where Brier Rabbit, Brier Fox and company were born. Come listen, laugh, join in, tap your finger on your temple and say “Hmmm?”, then go back to your classroom (or back to your home) and talk! charlotteblakealston.com AGES 5-10 | BELLEFIELD HALL AUDITORIUM
The Ark and Theatre Lovett (Ireland)
Louis Lovett leads the audience on an adventure that crosses snowy lands and wild seas. All the while, Peggy sings with the voice of an angel—a grossly unfortunate angel, who can’t sing at all. As Peggy desperately tries to save the day, we learn about love, loss, the reassurance of goats, and the courage to sing gloriously on-or off-key. theatrelovett.com AGES 7 AND UP | CHARITY RANDALL THEATRE
