"Monty's Magic Holiday Show"

What do you get when you combine magic, caroling and a touch of comedy? "Monty's Magic Holiday Show". Venture Theatre hosts this one of a kind show with Guinness World Record Holder Monty the Magician, veteran comedic performer Peggy Eserkaln and features the debut of Sydney Eserkaln. Peggy and Sydney will portray the elves left in charge of decorating a family's bare living room. Through Monty's magic, audience volunteers, intermittent elf-inspired caroling and decor from The Primitive Heart the space will transform into a festive holiday atmosphere.

"Monty's Magic Holiday Show" opens in Venture Theatre on Sunday, December 9th with a 4pm matinee. Performances run Friday and Saturday at 7pm, and Sunday at 4pm from December 9th through December 30th. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for kids.
