Directed by Fritz Grobe of Coke and Mentos fame, this all-new show features a talented group of variety performers, dancers, cabaret acts, artistic jugglers and more.“Fritz has outdone himself,” said Johnson Hall’s executive director, Mike Miclon. “This ensemble offers the full package of an entertainment experience.”

For the first 20 years of his life, Grobe wanted to be either a designer for Lego or a mathematician, then came juggling. While attending Yale University, he founded the Yale Anti-Gravity Society, the university’s juggling club. After leaving Yale, he turned to Celebration Barn Theater’s renowned performing arts school where he studied physical theater with Avner Eisenberg, Julie Goell, Fred Garbo and Tony Montanaro.

In 1993, he won the International Jugglers Festival individual championships, the first of his five gold medals at the festival. He was artistic director of the juggling and dance ensemble “blink” from 1995 to 2000, which won both the Dance Portland Professional Choreography Showcase and the International Jugglers Festival Team Championships in Las Vegas

In 2004, Fritz was in the original cast of “Birdhouse Factory,” a theatrical circus created by a group of Cirque du Soleil performers. He appeared in a leading role and as the featured solo clown, touring throughout the United States and Mexico.
