Vinny DePonto Presents Mental Amusements virtually at Bristol Riverside Theatre

Mentalist Vinny De Ponto is giving a mind-blowing virtual performance sponsored by the Bristol Riverside Theatre. He speaks of his show, Mental Amusements, as a carnival, and it is certainly a carnival for the mind. The combination of psychological tricks and illusion must be seen to be believed. Vinny asks someone in the “front row”  to think of a zodiac sign and concentrate on it while he writes it down. He then shows it to the participant after she names the sign and it is the same. This is only one of many ways in which he interacts with his audience. He also asks everyone, including people in general admission seats, to make a pendulum with dental floss and a ring. The things that he could make the pendulum do remotely are fascinating.  There are two ways to enjoy this amazing production. If you want to be part of the show and interact with Vinny, purchase a $50 ticket. If you want to just sit back and be amazed and even follow along with some “tricks “ on your own, purchase a general admission ticket for $35. Due to popular demand, the show has been extended to November 6. While you might hesitate and think twice before purchasing tickets at this price for a virtual show, I can guarantee that it is worth it!

The (Virtual) Days of Re-Creation at PTC

 

Philadelphia Theatre Company is producing The Days of Re-Creation, on September 30, 2020, a virtual play written entirely by people of color. While 2020 will be recorded as a year of fear, and death, it will also be remembered as a year of change, rebirth and re-creation. The Days of Recreation: A Virtual Play is seven 10 minute plays on this theme of re-recreation which relate in some way to one of the days of creation from the Book of Genesis. The show runs for 80 minutes with no intermission beginning at 7:00 pm. There will be a talkback after the show. There will be an announcement of the theatre’s plans for the upcoming theatre season at 6:45 before the show begins.
