Tahoe Arts Project bringing physical theater to the local stage

In their 31st year of bringing arts to the South Shore, Tahoe Arts Project starts their new season by presenting Push Physical Theater on Friday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. at Harrah’s South Shore Room. Don’t miss your opportunity to see these five performers with their intense athleticism, gravity-defying acrobatics, and soulful artistry.

Local Children will be treated to performances by the genre-defining masters of physical storytelling during school assemblies during the week of October 3-6.

PUSH’s repeated sold-out performances have led to creative collaborations with the National Institute for the Deaf and Rochester Institute of Technology, during which PUSH created “Red Ball,” using iPad technology. Choreography for the Pulitzer-nominated cantata "Comala" resulted in a Mexico and US tour. TruTV’s national series, Fake Off, in which PUSH became the season finalist, elicited this from judge and Glee star Harry Shum Jr.: “You guys are superhuman!” Unparalleled performers bring the narratives of our lives to the stage with hope and optimism: The strength of the human soul expressed by the power of the human body.

Ticket costs are $15 for adults and free for students through high school (when accompanied by adults). There are no pre-sale tickets and admission will be taken at the door beginning at 6:15 p.m.

Tahoe Arts Project is a nonprofit organization whose main focus is the presentation of performing arts in our local schools. For more information, please call 530 542-3632 or visit tahoeartsproject.org
