Ahoy mateys! Prepare for a high seas adventure with the most amazing crew of scalawags ever to set sail on the Spanish Main in this performance of Skullduggery - A Magical Pirate Adventure sensory friendly show.
Illusionist John Bundy and Morgan conjure up a treasure chest of incredible illusions in this family-friendly, sensory-friendly theatrical show. The magic happens right before your Ayes!
Broadway World said: "Cue award winning illusionists John Bundy and Morgan. Their thrilling mainstage production Skullduggery: A Magical Pirate Adventure! is a swashbuckling pirate adventure that will conjure up a treasure chest of illusions and interactive adventure the whole family will enjoy. This Broadway-style production, combining the science of illusion and storytelling, culminates in a climatic whirlwind of magical amazement...there are few family friendly shows that successfully manipulate the senses, while entertaining the masses. Skullduggery is one of the few productions that accomplish this arduous feat. Perhaps there is a strong connection between illusion and neuroscience, or laughter and distraction. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. One cannot help but buy into the enchantment of Skullduggery. The production evokes what science cannot explain: family magic."
Skullduggery is presented by The Union County Board of County Commissioners. Sensory Friendly theater, music, and dance performances are specially adapted for children and adults with autism and other sensory sensitivities. Learn more about UCPAC's Sensory-Friendly Theatre performances

Eddie B soared to new heights by creating his own opportunity starting with his series of comical videos titled "What Teachers Really Want to Say". In a matter of hours, those videos sparked the attention of educators all over the country when they realized that they were not alone and finally had someone to joke about the things they were reluctant to say out loud.
Shortly after, Eddie decided to take his videos to the stage selling out comedy clubs, theaters, and arenas with his “Teachers Only Comedy Tour” in 2017-2018 and the “I’m Already Professionally Developed Tour” in 2019- 2020. When the worldwide pandemic made it impossible for Eddie to see his fans in person he began performing his "Teachers Only" comedy virtually! When things got back to normal, Eddie B went back out on the road to give educators more of his unfiltered comedy beginning with his " Teachers Only Summer Break Tour", and the hilarity continues with his "Teacher's Only Comedy Tour '24"!
Eddie B has established himself as the official voice of teachers across the globe. Educators from America to Africa, Dallas to Dubai, New York to New Delhi (and beyond) are getting a lesson in the funniest ways to express their worst frustrations and they are loving every second of Eddie B’s uncensored, raw, and hysterically realistic portrayal of a teacher’s hectic life, from the point of view of an actual teacher!
