Shaolin Warriors Thu. November 8, 2012 • 7:30pm

Carpenter Theatre, Richmond CenterStage $38 | $34 | $30 Presented by the Modlin Center for the Arts and Richmond CenterStage. “…they combine the agility and grace of gymnasts with the showmanship of Cirque du Soleil performers.” – Washington Post In a fully choreographed, theatrical production, the Shaolin Warriors bring the remarkable skill and spectacular imagery of kung fu to Richmond’s Carpenter Theatre. Combining the strength of Olympic gymnasts, the grace of ballet dancers, and the magic of Cirque du Soleil, the Shaolin Warriors demonstrate their sacred and deadly art form in a dazzling display of technical precision and artistry. Disciples of the world-renowned Shaolin schools, these kung fu masters have trained from a very young age in mental and physical disciplines, which allow them to perform feats you thought were only possible in the movies. This performance will take place at Carpenter Theatre, Richmond CenterStage. Ticket prices for this event include a $2 per ticket restoration fee.
