  • Three event highlights
    1. Joshua Casey (filling in for John Wee) and Owen Morse will appear on stage.
    2. The duo will perform a complex club-juggling routine accompanied by comic banter. In the past, their acts have included Segway scooters, razorsharp sickles and roaring chainsaws.
    3. “The Passing Zone” has been awarded five Guinness World Records and 18 gold medals from the International Juggler's Association. They have appeared on numerous national television shows and were recently presented with that organization's Award of Excellence, which is the most prestigious award in juggling.
    Why you should attend
    “I saw John and Owen perform last year at the Midwest Arts Conference in Minneapolis. I was super impressed and immediately booked the show. We always try to include a family-friendly show every season, and “The Passing Zone” absolutely fits the bill. You'll be kicking yourself if you miss it.”
    — John Holecek, Opera House executive director
