About The Show
The WYO Performing Arts & Education Center gets even more magical this December with two talented locals. John Rotellini and AJ Longhurst will prove what happens when “Amazing Meets Extraordinary” Thursday December 8 at 7pm.
John and AJ bring their own magical experience to the stage and both are rooted in theater, a WYO specialty. For John, a childhood love of magic paired with an eclectic collection of interests led him to a career in doing extraordinary things onstage. By combining sleight of hand magic and illusions with psychology and theatre, John has created live, interactive events that have wowed audiences around the world.
AJ aka The Amazing AJ! also found an interest in magic at a young age, when he had his first magical experience watching a trick close-up. AJ has performed magic professionally for more than 12 years and has been a professional actor for over than 22 years. Six years ago, AJ started a new magical adventure: teaching! At AJ's Magic Academy AJ effortlessly weaves important communication and life skills into every magic lesson, proving that magic IS REAL and can change your life!
Don’t miss AJ and John on the WYO stage this December when they go join forces to prove that magic is REAL!
“Amazing Meets Extraordinary: The Magic Returns” is sponsored by the WYO’s Major Season Sponsors along with McDonald’s, Sheridan EyeCare Center and Frank & Georgia Boley.
ABOUT THE WYO PERFORMING ARTS AND EDUCATION CENTER
The WYO Performing Arts & Education Center is a live performing arts venue in the heart of downtown Sheridan dedicated to inspiring, educating and entertaining.
The WYO was originally built in 1923 as the Lotus, a vaudeville theater. The theater entertained Sheridan families for nearly 60 years with both live performances and films before closing its doors in 1982. Its future uncertain, the theater seemed destined to become just another main street memory.
Faced with the loss of this venerable landmark the citizens of Sheridan came together to rescue the building. Community leadership coupled with the generous gifts of time and money by individuals, businesses, and private foundations not only saved the theater, but renovated it to become an architectural centerpiece and important performing arts facility for downtown Sheridan.
Since reopening in 1989 as a road-house, the WYO has brought countless hours of live entertainment, cultural enrichment, and educational opportunities to the greater Sheridan community. Learn more about the upcoming programming at wyotheater.com.
