Fred Garbo Inflatable Theatre Co.
January 25, Friday, 7:30 p.m. The concert begins when a ten-foot cylinder slithers onto the stage and implodes, and before long the entire audience is playing catch with gigantic inflatable props! The big blow-up shapes shimmer, balloon, deflate and bounce in a rainbow of colors. Fred Garbo and Daielma Santos inhabit this enchanting world with tremendous aplomb and skill. Suddenly, the globulating red cube takes on a life of its own, rolling, gliding, tumbling in synch to the music, right up to the edge of the stage. The audience gasps, and the big block teeters dramatically on the brink, quaking and bulging and changing shape, then amazing everybody with a hilarious exit. Now the lovely ballerina dances a can-can, but her skirt starts to grow longer and longer, becomming a ball gown, then a balloon engulfing her, finally spiriting her away. Fast-paced, energetic, universally engaging and theatrically clever, Garbo and Santos mesmerize their audience with imaginative imagery and artistic foolishness. $33 & $12 (Student) |

Morgan State University Choir

The Choir’s repertoire spans several centuries and includes classical, gospel, and contemporary popular music. It is also noted for its emphasis on preserving the heritage of the spiritual, especially in the historic practices of performance. The choir has recently performed at the Kennedy Center's Legends of Jazz Greats concert. Last summer the choir was invited to perform in Prague and was rewarded with standing ovations. "I have never heard voices of black people before. I believe that I have now heard the voice of God!" comments an older Prague woman after hearing the Morgan State University Choir for the first time.
