NORWICH – The Chenango Arts Council is offering an evening of magic when “The Magic of Michael Gray” comes to the Martin W. Kappel Theater on Saturday evening.

Sure to delight all ages, the performance will bring the intimacy and excitement of drawing room magic to the stage, with levitation, card tricks, mind reading and plenty of audience participation and comedy.

This enchanting show begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, with the Arts Council lobby opening at 6:30pm. The Martin W. Kappel Theater is located at Chenango Arts Council, 27 West Main Street, Norwich NY 13815.

“It’s the kind of show people pay $150 to see in smaller spaces in the big city,” said magician Michael Gray. “We wanted to bring it to a larger venue and make it accessible to everyone.”

A large screen will ensure no detail is missed, whether the illusion is large or small.

Audience members will also be able to “get in on the act” after the show, as magic kits will be available for purchase.

Michael Gray is no stranger to the Arts Council’s stage, as a founding member of the Norwich Theater Company and a 30-year veteran of performing and teaching. He has delighted crowds all over the East Coast, including New York City celebrities.

Tickets range from $12 to $15 and can be purchased at ChenangoArts.org or by calling 607-336-2787.
