Art and science blend to spectacular degrees in Mark Nizer performance

Piedmont Arts is thrilled to host Mark Nizer at the Martinsville High School Auditorium for a public performance on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6:30 p.m. He will be performing his 4D one-man show, which blends comedy, juggling, music, and 3D technology. This show is fun for the whole family. General admission tickets are $20 and student (K-12) tickets are $5. Tickets are on sale now at PiedmontArts.org and at the museum. Every ticket purchase comes with a pair of 4D glasses that will make the performance come to life in new and exciting ways.

Mark Nizer is one of the greatest entertainment comedians and jugglers performing today. His wild exploits have landed him on MTV, HBO’s Just for Laughs, Arsenio Hall, Bob Hope and Other Young Comedians, Comic Strip Live and LA Law. He has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, George Burns, John Byner, Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, and Barry Manilow. The late Bob Hope said, "He just keeps getting better and I didn’t think that was possible."

Making the impossible possible and the improbable probable, Mark Nizer has taken his one-man show to a variety of venues around the world, including The Improv, The Comedy Store, Walt Disney World, thousands of college campuses, and all major cruise lines. He has also performed in thousands of corporate events, civic centers, festivals and performing arts centers including the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Nizer will also be in residency with local schools the week of the public performance. His Sciencesplosion show will be performed to audiences at Laurel Park Middle School, Fieldale-Collinsville Middle School, and bussed in groups to the Martinsville High School Auditorium. This educational program is designed to spark children’s curiosities about science and how it can be used to understand and improve our world.
