BLiNK! to appear onstage in Fontana in 2009
Dates have just been announced for two special performances at the newly restored Center Stage Theater, in Fontana, California in 2009! This stage production of BLiNK!, featuring some of the best in the art of magic & illusion, will be appearing on June 26th & 27th.


The Legendary Fontana Theater - 1937

The theater itself is a bit of miracle. Originally built in 1930's, the historic "Fontana Theater" first served as a one-screen movie theater and was designed by noted theater architect, Carl H. Boller. When the movie theater closed in the 1950's, the facility was used for a variety of purposes ranging from an Elks Lodge to a full-blown roller-skating rink. The City of Fontana stepped in in order to preserve the heritage of their community and took a proactive approach by carefully restoring the theater to its original luster. Details of exactly how the building originally looked were culled from hundreds of old photos and documents. The result is the newly named "Center Stage Theater", which will officially open in July of 2008. The producers of BLiNK! are proud to be part of this incredible venue's very first season!

Another stellar performance for BLiNK! in Escondido, CA.

On April 13th, 2008, audiences quickly filled the large 1,500 seat, Concert Hall theater at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido, California. BLiNK!, starring Chipper Lowell, was a major hit and we are now in talks to bring the show back sometime in 2010, including a special return engagement of Chipper's own one-man show: The Chipper Lowell Experience! (scheduled to appear on April 1st, 2009 in the venue's Center Theater.)



Here's a quick quote from Chris Wolf - Director of Performing Arts at the CA Center for the Arts:

"Dear Chipper, what a joy it was to present "BLiNK!" in our 2007-2008 season. Our patrons, from ages 8 to 80 THOROUGHLY ENJOYED the performance, as the STANDING OVATIONS indicated. It is a rare pleasure when patrons thank me for bringing in a show. Thank YOU for a wonderful performance and for bringing comedy and magic into the 20th century! The entire cast and crew were a pleasure to work with, and the marketing materials were of a tremendous help to the sell the show as well as we did. The show was DEFINITELY one of the HITS of the season!"

For the city of Lancaster and their beautiful Lancaster Performing Arts Center, BLiNK! starring Chipper Lowell played to a STANDING ROOM ONLY audience on April 12th, 2008! Turns out that BLiNK! was their FASTEST SELLING SHOW in their entire subscription series! True! Within one month of the new season being announced, BLiNK! quickly set the pace and became the first stage production to completely SELL OUT their 750 seat theater!

Special thanks to the incredible staff and crew at the theater. It was truly a joy to work with so many talented people under one roof!

Star of "The Addams Family" movies is added to Show!


Christopher Hart, who played "Thing" in the darkly funny film versions of the classic television show, "The Addams Family", will be the Fourth and final act for the 2008 line-up of "BLiNK! - An Incredible Evening of Award-Winning Magic!" In addition to his extensive television and film work, Hart is also a multi-award winner in the magic world. He has been bestowed with "Stage Magician of the Year" by the Academy of Magical Arts, as well as countless other awards and trophies from around the world. And while you won't actually see "Thing" in person, mostly because Christopher doesn't care to actually chop his hand off for real, there is a very good chance you might get to meet Thing's "girlfriend." Don't ask - You gotta see it to believe it! : )

Along with Christopher Hart, the show will also star Chipper Lowell, The Magic of Jade, and Canadian illusionists of the year - Murray Hatfield & Teresa! TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
