Renowned Mentalist to Return to Downstairs Cabaret Theatre in MIND OVER ROCHESTER

Downstairs Cabaret Theatre is thrilled to announce a limited return engagement of MARC SALEM with his show MIND OVER ROCHESTER, May 5-15, 2016.

Salem has entertained and baffled Rochester audiences in multiple engagements at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre over the past several years, and returns to Rochester fresh from an extended run at the Apollo Theatre in Chicago.

A truly funny, thoroughly astonishing display of mind reading and so much more, Marc Salem is a mentalist like you've never experienced. He doesn't bend spoons, hypnotize you, or predict your future. But he can tell you what you're thinking, deduce the serial number on a bill in your wallet, guess the sentence you've picked out of a book... and show you how to tap into the power of your own subconscious. He doesn't have anything up his sleeve except an amazing ability to understand and control the human mind. It's no wonder his engaging and thoroughly entertaining foray into mind and matter has been a jaw-dropper from Broadway to London's West End to Sydney's Opera House.

MIND OVER ROCHESTER features new material never before seen in Rochester. Performances will take place at the Downstairs Cabaret, 20 Windsor Street, downtown Rochester: Thursdays, May 5 and 12 at 7:00pm Fridays, May 6 and 13 at 8:00pm Saturdays, May 7 and 14 at 8:00pm Sundays, May 8 and 15 at 2:00pm.
