Cirque Mechanics Coming to Laxson Auditorium, Sept. 17
Ever wonder what a circus and a birdhouse have in common? Well, bring the kids and come find out at the performance of Cirque Mechanics - Birdhouse Factory on Sept. 17, 2008 at 7:30pm in Laxson Auditorium, courtesy of Chico Performances.
The Birdhouse Factory is a magical place where workers are acrobats, the machines power high-flying trapeze stunts, contortionists perform on a unicycle-powered giant turntable, and trampoline-launched workers defy the laws of physics as they seem to walk on air. You will be amazed at the antics of the comedic characters, impressed by the acrobatics, and enchanted by the story of laughter, love, flight, and birdhouses. Birdhouse Factory’s cast includes former members of Cirque du Soleil, the Pickle Family Circus, and the Moscow Circus.
Tickets are $32 Premium, $27 Adult, $25 Seniors, $23 Student/Child and are available at the University Box Office, 2nd and Normal streets, 898-6333

STORY. Pancho is looking forward to his new life in college, away from the barrio, his culture, and way of life. But then he meets his new zany roommates, and together, they discover girls, parties, study time, and multiculturalism in a large Arizona college campus. Can Pancho adapt? Will he survive away from home?
Shot entirely in Southern Arizona, “Pancho Goes To College” is a comedy feast for the eyes and ears. Scenic desert landscapes, crazy college parties, class lectures, rowdy Chicano bars, and an eclectic rock-norteno-hip-hop music soundtrack drives “Pancho Goes To College” as a fast paced coming-of-age comedy with heart.
“A Chicano ‘Animal House’ with heart.” —Tucson Citizen
