The Alliance for the Arts, in partnership with Wild Ace Entertainment, will present an evening of virtual entertainment on Thursday, Aug. 13, at 7:30 p.m. Fun for all ages, this virtual extravaganza is jam-packed with magical mystery, clever circus and comedy delights.

Brittany Sparkles and George Gilbert are Wild Ace Entertainment.

Sparkles, who was born and raised on Long Island, New York, is “America’s Circus Sweetheart.” She has over 20 combined years of dance, theater, cheerleading, martial arts and circus training. She is a graduate of the elite National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne, Australia, from where she earned a bachelor’s of circus arts, specializing in aerial acrobatics and object manipulation.

Gilbert has been using his talents to amaze and amuse audiences around the globe for over a decade. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Gilbert first found his love of magic in elementary school after reading a book on Harry Houdini. He has performed all over North America and Europe to raving reviews, chasing his childhood dream of mystifying audiences while making them laugh.

The production is free to stream, but a suggested donation supports the future of the arts in southwest Florida. Pre-registration is required at ArtInLee.org/ Virtual Varieties in order to provide an access link prior to showtime.
