BART SHATTO: BACK TO BROADWAY WITH BART…AND FRIENDS!
BART SHATTO: BACK TO BROADWAY WITH BART…AND FRIENDS!

For 2 nights only on June 11th and 12th, Broadway veteran and Central Illinois native Bart Shatto will perform his vocal cabaret show BACK TO BROADWAY WITH BART…AND FRIENDS!!

Peoria area audiences may remember Bart from his performances in THE GLASS MENAGERIE and SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD with the Apollo Professional Theatre, a professional equity theatre in Peoria back in the early 2000s or they may have had the amazing pleasure of seeing Bart in Cornstock Theatre’s production of THE SECRET GARDEN 6 years ago.

But where Bart has made his career and left his mark are in the five Broadway Shows, numerous National Tours, and his memorable solo appearances with the International marvel called THE TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA.

The show will feature songs from Bart’s Broadway musicals and tours including selections from LES MISERABLES, CATS, HANDS ON A HARDBODY, DRACULA:THE MUSICAL, THE CIVIL WAR, and the most recent WAR PAINT which starred Patti LuPone! Other selections will be from the shows MAN OF LAMANCHA, JEKYLL AND HYDE, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, and more!

​"He seems to have the unique ability to straddle the line between leading man and character actor" -Broadway World

"Shatto is delightful" -Backstage.com

"Shatto is magnificent" -Philadelphia Daily News

"Vocally, Shatto has one of those knockout tenor voices" -The Times Picayune, New Orleans

Special guest stars to add to the evening’s incredible music will be Peoria actor/director Mike Reams and the incredible talents of Pauline Parkhurst & Carmen McCarthy. Deb Rude will musical direct and Pam Orear will be at the helm directing the 90 minute two act show along with a few surprise guests!

Admission is $25pp and there is a 2 item required minimum per person for the Broadway Lounge! Seating for the show begins at 6p and is arranged by the Broadway Lounge Management. Once seated, the wait staff will take your food and/or drink order. The show is planned to start at 7:30p. Tables seat 4 and if your group does not fill up a table of 4 please understand that you will be sitting with others as we expect every seat to be sold for this very special performance!

Piglets & Porter + Pilates @ Obed & Isaac\'s Microbrewery- Peoria
Piglets & Porter + Pilates @ Obed & Isaac\'s Microbrewery- Peoria

Finally! The piglets are coming to Peoria! Join us for Piglets & Porter + Pilates @ Obed and Isaac's Microbrewery. Come for the piggies and porter and nama-stay at Obed's amazing beer garten for an oinking good time!

Yep, it's our first "pilates" class. But let's be honest... no one is here for the pilates OR the yoga, right? So for simplicity's sake, it'll be a yoga class. But pilates just SOUNDED better, didn't it?? And what else goes better with piggies + pilates than some porter! Do you have to order a porter? Nope. Mimosas and Bloody Mary's hit the spot too! Or any other craft beer Obed's has to offer!

You can "Eat Well and Drink Better Beer" in an 1889 Church! The Bocce Beer Garden is the perfect place to be. They are family friendly and pet friendly. They also cater to cyclists with a fix it station and offer a large bike rack to park and secure your bicycle. (Sorry, no dogs allowed in our Goats + Yoga.)

The beer garden offers bocce, bags, DAGz and more to keep you and your friends entertained all evening. 

Session #1 - 10:30am

Session #2 - 11:30am

What is Piglets & Pilates + Porter like?

We will be outside in Obed & Isaac's amazing Bocce Beer Garden. After you get your drinks (if you're over 21), you'll set up your mats and get to meet the piggies. (They'll start off in some large livestock tanks.) Yep, you can bring your drinks into the yoga area! You will be given cups of treats to help persuade the piggies to come to you. There will be some who will be your new best friend, and some who'd rather watch you from afar or just eat out of your hand. You can be as involved (or not) as you'd like. We can also strategically place the right pigs on top of you for just the right selfie! 

This is a VERY informal class! You are welcome to bring your yoga mat, or a beach towel will be just fine, too. (If you have a nice yoga mat, we highly suggest you bring a beach towel!). If you are no longer able to attend, you may transfer your ticket to a friend. Just give us a heads up!

We highly recommend you nama-stay with your friends or significant other and make it a day here! 

Please follow us on social media and share those photos! Please use the hashtag #GoatsPlusYoga so we can all see each other's photos!
