Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats coming to Caltech

The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats will perform on Friday, October 9, at 8 p.m. in Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium.

Under the direction of acrobatic legends, the Hai Family, the company interprets the precision and grace of an art form honed by years of training and discipline: Chinese acrobatics. Their multi-faceted and multi-cultural production features acrobatic displays, feats of daring and balance, Kung Fu, brilliant costumes, and even a touch of Chinese comedy.

Along with several television appearances, including That’s Incredible, the troupe was awarded the Performing Arts Campus Entertainment Award by the National Association for Campus Activities (1986), and was nominated for the 1998 Campus Activities Today Reader’s Choice Award for Best Live Novelty Act.

Tickets to this performance are priced at $29.00, $24.00, and $19.00; youth (high school age and younger): $10.00. Senior rush tickets will go on sale for $10.00, beginning one-half hour before the performance (subject to availability). Tickets can be purchased at the Caltech Ticket Office, 332 S. Michigan Avenue, Pasadena.

Parking for Beckman Auditorium is located at 332 South Michigan Avenue, Pasadena (south of Del Mar Boulevard). For information, call (626) 395-4652.
