2019 LIBRARY TOUR
A Program to Support Reading
To Celebrate the 50 Year Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing, Michael is preparing to tour his Cosmic Juggling & Variety Show. Join Michael as he defies gravity by swinging Chinese meteors, juggles the rings of Saturn, and takes everyone on a journey out of this world with his amazing Flying Saucers! Michael’s Cosmic Juggling Show is a 45 minute up-close and intimate, fun program for children and families. The show will encourage kids to learn about space exploration as part of the Collaborative Summer Library Program while sharing the fun and amazing world of juggling arts.
“The best show we’ve had
in our library in 25 years!“
-Nancy Chase, Haverhill Public Library, Haverhill, Massachusetts
