The Jim Show Thursday Apr 21
Armed with nothing more than a trunk full of props, a quick, dry wit, and a mysterious, “cat-like” agility, Jim bounds to the stage and begins his show. He performs amazing feats of skill, thrives on audience interaction, and enjoys accepting challenges. He runs, he jumps, he dances and sings! (Actually, Jim doesn’t do any singing.)When attempting the impossible, things can go wrong, and in The Jim Show, they often do; yet Jim displays an intriguing self confidence and “stick-to-it” attitude that keeps audiences glued to every performance. People love to watch Jim accomplish his seemingly unachievable tasks. The show is guaranteed to amaze and amuse.
