October 17-November 3, 2019
Bath House Cultural Center
A Circus Like You Have Never Experienced Before!
Back by popular demand, Laughter League, a non-profit organization, will present The Petite Palace at the Bath House Cultural Center, 521 E. Lawther Dr., Dallas, TX. 75218, October 17-November 3, 2019. The Petite Palace is an intimate, eclectic tent show that will take audiences on an unparalleled journey, which combines the dazzling, daring aura of Cirque du Soleil with the madcap mirth of Saturday Night Live. Forget your binoculars and bring your safety goggles! Your experience will put you in the middle of a raucous, amazing and hilarious sensory tour de force.
Set on the grounds of the picturesque Bath House Cultural Center at White Rock Lake, The Petite Palace provides an up-close personal experience for 150 circus-goers that is fun for the entire family. Patrons will sit front and center for a mesmerizing performance and be immersed in laughter. It’s part circus, part variety show, part cabaret. It’s all fun and will create memories that last a lifetime.
Written by Dick Monday and produced by Matthew Morgan, The Petite Palace explores the kooky world of a royal family reunion where everyone has chosen a different path of life. The characters will take the audience on a journey of wacky rituals and fractured fairy tales. Seeing the amazing circus virtuosity emerge from such engaging and comedic characters creates an atmosphere of pure joy and excitement.
The all-star ensemble cast will feature Dick Monday, Tiffany Riley, Dario Vasquez, Kelli Ramazini, Julio Ramazini, Mike Williams, Lily Monday, Mark Gindick, Robert Lok and Levgeniia Pokrovska Lok, and Emma D’Lemma, with special guest appearances by Asaf Mor, Kerlly Vazquez, Megan and Morgan McKenyon.
