Tickets sold out for Acrobats of China at SMU


WINONA, Minn. — Tickets are sold out for the Acrobats of China presentation Tuesday, Feb. 3, at Saint Mary’s University. The Page Series event, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in SMU’s Page Theatre, will be a night of wonder for the whole family.

The Acrobats of China will combine martial arts, spectacular costumes and breathtaking acrobatics. In this long-established Chinese tradition, every-day objects become tools to showcase the skills of the jugglers, spinners, and acrobats of this present-day troupe. The audience will watch in amazement as 15 people balance on a bicycle, performers spin dozens of cups and saucers while doing the splits, and many other amazing feats of strength and flexibility.

Although the show is sold out at this time, a few seats may become available the evening of the performance. Patrons still wanting to attend are asked to arrive early to be put on a waiting list. The box office opens at 6:30 p.m. the evening of the show. If any seats do become available, they will be available first come, first served. A waiting list will not be created until the box office opens the evening of the show.
