✔ PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS!
Many people believe the Rio has ghosts. Some people have experienced this first hand. While in a delicate, heightened state we will watch some real-life ghost hunters explore the theatre with thier ghost busting gadgets and perhaps mingle with the afterlife?
INTENSE!!!!

✔COMEDIAN COLIN COWAN!
You may recognize Colin as our sometimes band leader, captain of the China Cloud or as a mainstay of The Hero Show. This werid and wonderful fella with perform an opera inspired piece, perfect for our psychodelic show. Hold on to your minds, it's Colin Cowan!

✔ COMEDIAN CARLA MAH!
Carla performs regularly as a cast member of Instant Theatre, as one half of improv/sketch comedy duo Carmelahhh, and as a member of all-female improv troupe Nasty Women. She will be performing a really funny and strange piece that I like allot.

✔ YOUNG SINGER: LAUREN WEBB!
She has the voice of an angel and is going to sing a song that will make your heart melt (even if you are 100% sober)

✔ OLDER ADULT CREATIVE DANCE: DEZZA DANCE!
"Their dance is immediate, improvisational, and passionate. Rather than dancing to music, they become it as they channel the eclectic soundtracks provided by lead artist Desirée Dunbar - from Neil Young to classical orchestral symphonies."- Claire Robson, Arts & Heatlth.

✔ A GIANT PLAY PARACHUTE!
The kind you played underneath in elementary school. We will try and get as many of you involved as possible. FUN!

✔ PRE SHOW ENTERTAINMENT:
People are invited to "drop-in" at 7 when the doors open. There will be live mystical music and a guilded meditaion leading up to the 8pm show. Come early and arrive with us.
