Brothers Matt and Jason Tardy, cofounders of the Freeport Theater of Awesome, will present their comedy and juggling show, The Tardy Brothers, and their high-tech family show, Audio- Body, almost every weekend throughout the summer.
On Sundays at 2 p.m., the brothers from Buckfield will offer their juggling show.
“Its funny that a couple of jugglers opened a theater with 8-and-a-half foot ceilings,” said Jason, 34. “It’s going to be high-energy juggling … low ceiling.”
“It’s going to be a challenge but it really shouldn’t be a problem since we have performed in spaces with 7-foothigh ceilings and I could put my hand flat on the ceiling,” added Matt, 32. “It just means the show will be more fun for the audience than it will be for us!”
The Tardy Brothers show features its own brand of relentless sarcastic wit, high-energy juggling, physical comedy, and daring stunts.
The Atlantis Resort calls it “Amazing!” Inside Edition has dubbed them “One of the hottest juggling acts in the country!” and Fox News says “They make their momma proud!”
On Fridays at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 2 and 7:30 p.m., AudioBody will feature an explosive mix of sibling rivalry, technological mishaps, relentless comedy, full-body contortion, juggling, LED light shows, and up-beat music. The Tardys even throw in a grand finale tribute to the Star Wars classic “Imperial March.”
AudioBody’s show has been described as the common ground between circus arts and science fiction, and has been compared to Blue Man Group, The Smothers Brothers and Cirque du Soleil.
Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. shows are $22 in advance and $25 at the door and the 2 p.m. matinee shows are $15 in advance and $18 at the door.
There will be a special deal for the month of July, when all advance Friday tickets will be $10.
The Freeport Theater of Awesome is fully air conditioned and is located at 5 Depot St. in the heart of downtown Freeport. Tickets can be purchased online at www.AwesomeTheater.com.
