Mayo Performing Arts Center to Welcome Popovich Comedy Pet Theatre, 4/28
The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $19-29.
Starring Russian circus star Gregory Popovich, the performance features Gregory and his cast of jugglers, clowns, 15 house cats, 10 dogs, 4 geese, 8 white doves, and 2 parrots.
The Popovich Comedy Pet Theater is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich, and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. They love to show off onstage -- performing a variety of stunts and skits! Audiences will be delighted to see this extravaganza of European-style clowning, amazing juggling and balancing acts, and of course, very talented performing pets.
Mr. Popovich and his Pets have been featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with David Letterman, and as a finalist on NBC's 'America's Got Talent'. Feature stories have appeared in People, The New Yorker and USA TODAY. Most recently Gregory wrote a book about the cats: 'You CAN Train Your Cats.'
Gregory Popovich grew up in a unique environment, as the child of Russian circus performers Alex and Tamara Popovich. In addition to their juggling and performing skills, Gregory's parents were dog trainers. From a very young age, Gregory formed a special bond with animals. Eventually, the connection he formed with his mother's showdogs led to his participation onstage, assisting with Tamara's dog act. At the age of six, Gregory began to learn the art of juggling. Eight years later, he prepared his first solo act - juggling on a free standing ladder. After the public debut of this feat, Gregory became a member of the renowned Moscow Circus at the age of 17.
