OXFORD, Miss. – The Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Mississippi will host Artrageous, billed as “the interactive music experience,” for one show at 7:30 p.m. Thursday (Sept. 21).
The interactive performance incorporates a variety of art forms, and audiences experience live painting, music, dance and life-size puppetry, as well as getting to be part of the show.
The cast of artists, musicians, singers and dancers combine vocals, choreography and audience interaction to bring the patrons on a visual journey of art, pop icons and musical genres. The result is a gallery of finished paintings, making the performance a crossover experience.
“I would encourage you to bring your children and grandchildren to experience how much fun it can be to directly participate in the arts,” said Julia Aubrey, Ford Center director. “This show is for the young and the young at heart.”
Tickets, priced at $30 for the orchestra, parterre and Tier 1 box seats, $26 for the mezzanine and Tier 2 box seats, and $22 for balcony seating, are available at the UM Box Office inside the Ford Center.
