It's Simple!
First, balance on the top rung of a ladder. Next, balance another guy - upside down - on your head. Now...juggle! It's just another day at work for the Golden Dragon Acrobats - a troop of fabulously talented (and flexible) traditional Chinese acrobats from Hebei, China. They've played all over the world, including Lincoln Center and Caesar's Palace - now, they're coming to Edmonds! Check out their cool Web site. $17-$34 (and tickets are going fast, so call right away if you're interested). Ages 5 and up. Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave. N., Edmonds. 425-275-9595. Wednesday, March 12 and Thursday, March 13, 7:30 p.m. |
