Tag-Team Performers

Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) is now performing it’s new musical Trick Boxing, showing until Aug. 24 Tuesday – Sunday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2 pm. There will be no evening performances on Aug. 17, 19, and 24.

Dynamic duo, Brian Sostek and Megan McClelland, are both the creators and performers of this show. Playing multiple roles, they charm and impress in this fast-paced musical with physical comedy full of rapid fire dialogue, high-energy dance numbers, ridiculous puppetry, a sweet old-fashioned love story and, of course, boxing.

Trick Boxing follows David Danielovich, a down-on-his-luck apple seller who is bamboozled into becoming a boxer by a shady hustler and ends up swinging his way to the championship with the aid of a wily dance hall girl named Bella.

Since it premiered at the 2002 Minnesota Fringe Festival, Trick Boxing has received rave reviews from around the globe. From New York to London, critics have called it “A tiny treasure of a show,” “A sweet little love story from a bygone era,” and “A beautiful piece of comic storytelling performed with infectious charm.”

Tickets are $22/general admission, $10/students (12 – 24), and $5/children (11 & under). For more information visit thirdavenueplayhouse.com.
