"Popovich Comedy Pet Theater" is a perennial favorite at performing arts centers across the country, features Gregory and his cast of jugglers, clowns, 15 house cats, 10 dogs, four geese, eight white doves and two parrots. It is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. They love to show off onstage - performing a variety of stunts and skits! Audiences will be delighted to see this extravaganza of European-style clowning, amazing juggling and balancing acts, and of course, very talented performing pets.

What makes this show so unique is that all of the cats and dogs have bee n rescued from shelters. He uses his shows to help support animal shelters, sanctuaries and animal welfare organizations. Gregory strongly supports and promotes adopting pets from animal shelters and the practice to spay/neuter all pets. He aims to teach people that one caring person can make a huge difference to the animal world.

"It is important to the Walker Center to bring family entertainment to our community to expose the young and young-at-heart to all forms of performances. This can lead to a lifetime of appreciation and celebration of the arts," said Tabitha Hudler, lead events specialist.

An inexpensive meal of pizza, hotdogs and all the fixings, assorted snacks and drinks will be available for purchase from 5:30-6:30 p.m. prior to the show.

A limited number of tickets are available for this show.
