The
Great Kaplan
Sunday, October 12 • 7:00 pm

Virtuoso juggler, magician, inventor, musician, and physical comedian, -- all wrapped up in one eccentric performer, The Great Kaplan brings his one-man variety show to The Midland to kick off the Family Series, sponsored by The Energy
Cooperative. Whether he's juggling bean bag chairs, playing a melody on "concert balloon", or accidentally levitating a bowling ball, Kaplan's preposterous blend of dazzling skill and shameless gimmickry is sure to amaze and amuse. Inspired by the antics of Keaton, Sellers, Victor Borge and the illustrious Maxwell Smart among others, Kaplan delivers a most unique and hilarious spectacle. Kaplan's greatest talent may lie in his uncanny ability to appeal to a wide cross-section
of the audience, some of whom will find themselves on stage assisting The Great Kaplan. Spectators young and old are welcomed to enjoy and participate in a show they will not soon forget.
