Casa Mañana bringing STOMP to Fort Worth

By Pegasus News wire

STOMP, the international sensation, is making its triumphant return to the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, November 11 – 16, 2008 for a one week only engagement. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans.

The changes that can now be seen in the tour of STOMP are the biggest since the late 1990’s. A new piece “Paint Cans” evolved out of the “Boxes” routine in the Las Vegas show and “Donuts” is a piece that implements huge tractor tire inner tubes, worn around the waist on a bungee cord.

These new changes also bring along some new faces. Fort Worth native John Angeles has joined the STOMP national tour. Angeles, a professional drummer, attended Nolan Catholic High School and graduated from Texas Christian University’s music program in 2005. Patrons might also recognize Angeles from his appearance on America’s Got Talent in summer 2007.

STOMP is directed and created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. The national touring production is presented by Casa Mañana for an exclusive limited engagement at the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth. Performance dates are: Tuesday, November 11 at 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, November 13 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 14 at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, November 15 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday, November 16 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. This show is suitable for all audiences.
