When David Malmberg takes the stage, he doesn't come alone. Using the classic art of ventriloquism, David makes interesting and funny characters come to life, as well as sounds and voices appear out of virtually anywhere. Great comedy and great ventriloquism are all part of the show.

In Capable Hands will leave you begging for more. This comedy juggling husband and wife duo's show is filled with flying pizzas, juggled canned meat, pink flamingos, vanishing bananas, impaled potatoes and music played by pounding their heads. Always great fun, this act is appropriate for and appreciated by audiences of all ages.

Back by popular demand! Childhood best friends Joe and Justin, The Okee Dokee Brothers, believe that music should be an energetic, interactive and fun experience, where kids can enjoy dancing, singing and playing instruments with their families. Their original music is inspired by their adventures canoeing down the Mississippi River and hiking the Appalachian Trail. Don't miss these Kaleidoscope favorites, who won the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Children's Album.
