“Luis Carreon, “La Bestia,” is—as the Spanish word means—the beast. He’s not only the beast but the best! Talented, convincing, and funny, he charms his audience with his well-crafted magic act.” –Julia W. Rath, Around the Town Chicago
Luis Carreon is a highly sought-after entertainer, performing magic across the country – from New York City's Monday Night Magic to House of Cards in Nashville to the World-Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. An award-winning and well-respected magician, Luis regularly travels the country teaching other magicians about the art of magic. He is also a regular performer, fan favorite, and co-founding company member of the Chicago Magic Lounge. Carreon has made numerous television appearances, domestically and internationally. He has been featured on the Univision Evening News and was a semi-finalist on Tengo Talento, Mucho Talento, the Spanish language equivalent of America's Got Talent.
Funny GirlPittsburgh, Pennsylvania
January 7 to January 12
Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, an updated book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre has the whole shebang!
Francis Menotti in Sisyphus & SiriPittsburgh, Pennsylvania
January 8 to February 2
Darkly funny and mind-boggling, a play swallowed by a magic show— Sisyphus and Siri follows the whimsical journey of magician and creator Francis Menotti as he comically and mysteriously comes to terms with his inevitable demise while presenting his (supposedly) final performance. The even-tempered digital voice of Siri hosts the evening, interacting with the audience and even performing a magical interlude, mid-show. Featuring pieces he created for Penn & Teller Fool Us and Masters of Illusion, the show builds from light-hearted amusement to thrilling chaos up until the final curtain which looks an awful lot like the beginning. Has he done this exact show three times? Hundreds? Thousands? Absurd, visually stunning, and a tad disturbing, Sisyphus and Siri is a textured and captivating exploration of the balance of futility, optimism, and magic.
