Jugglemania with Shoehorn combines the antic talents of two professionals — Rhys Tomas and Shoehorn (aka Michael Conley). The tandem make hilarious physical and musical comedy look easy.

Thomas juggles anything he can, referring to his skills as “dancing with stuff.” Shoehorn is a multi-talented musician who taps dances while simultaneously playing saxophone, clarinet, percussion or keyboards.

Pre-show activities will include plate spinning, scarf juggling, tap dancing, face painting and entertainment by the Lincoln Juggling Club. The event will also showcase the talent of On Approach, a three-piece emsemble that won Lincoln TeamMates’ 2011 Talent for TeamMates competition. Group members are Jim Rhian, Ory Wickizer and Sam Costello.
