Tom Lilly Returns to Chesapeake Arts Center

February 20, 2010
Chesapeake Arts Center continues its Family Concert Series with one-hour family programs on the third Saturdays this winter and spring. For the first show, CAC will present Tom Lilly and Beowulf T. Wonderbunny on February 20th from 4:00pm – 5:00pm. Single tickets are now available for $10 for adults and $5 for children. Subscription tickets for all four spring family shows are discounted by 25% and are only $30 for adults and $15 for children!

There’s magic in the air from the moment Beowulf T. Wonderbunny arrives with his assistant Tom. Out of Tom’s trunk come all sorts of strange things: uninvited Martians, clapometers, even a flower pot!

That strange looking guy in the Hawaiian shirt and saddle shoes is Baltimore’s own Tom Lilly, a performer who combines magic, juggling, and balloonacy with loads of audience participation to produce a show that leaves all ages laughing and wondering. “The strangest adult I’ve ever seen,” is the post show comment of one youngster. Of course everybody gets to pet the bunny!

“Tom Lilly is so much  fun to watch, he engages the audience, leads them down strange paths, and he showers them with confetti, what’s not to love?” said Davina Grace Hill, Executive Director of CAC. “His show features family humor, outright silliness, and a wholesome good time for all ages to enjoy. And, his balloon hats are absolutely memorable.”

More About Tom Lilly:

Tom Lilly began performing in 1984 and quickly became a regular at area hospitals and libraries. In addition to the birthday party circuit, Tom was soon a featured performer on the family stage at the Baltimore City Fair and at the Cloisters Children’s Museum.

Tom is currently a regular at the Harborplace amphitheater, Artscape, and schools around the state. Summer finds him entertaining at company picnics, summer camps, libraries, or on the boardwalk in Ocean City. “Books Are A Blast” is the show Tom designed to tour in libraries throughout the mid-Atlantic.
