valentines-pigsValentine's Pigs - March 10 (rescheduled from January 21 due to weather)

A fast-paced act of miniature pigs doing tricks and incredible athletic feats is all part of the fun when you join us for Valentine's Performing Pigs! As music plays, the dazzling swine's dance, jump in the air, play catch with the audience, run up teeter totters, slam dunk basketballs, pop balloons, roll barrels, and madly roar across the stage on scooters and skateboards! Audiences go HOG WILD!

Henrik-BotheHenrik Bothe - March 17

Unusual, funny, and original, Henrik's show covers almost every combination of skill - from balancing atop an 8' tall, freestanding ladder to "Neonman", a glow-in-the-dark optical illusion. Children and adults will love this skilled, professional, and talented performer!

About the Series

The Children's Performing Arts Series was created in 1987 to enrich the lives of school-aged children by bringing performers and artisans to the Albany area. As school funding becomes tighter, it is more important than ever that our children have an opportunity to experience arts and music. For more than 20 years, the Albany Parks & Recreation Department has partnered with local businesses to make these performances a reality in area schools and free Saturday performance.

All performances are offered free-of-charge and made possible by your donations and the generosity of our sponsors.
