Mass Menagerie

The venerable Granada Theatre has been having a busy week.

Cirque Mechanics, an inventive play on circuses of old, kicked off the week in a UCSB Arts & Lectures show, “42 ft: A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels.”

The innovative 80-minute show had machines interacting with acrobats, dancers, jugglers, and contortionists, much to the delight of the audience.

Just 48 hours later, fans took a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Hot Jersey Nights when four talented singers sang the 1960s hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

Great fun.
