About The Life (and Death) of Harry Houdini...
The world’s greatest magician is about to take his final bow.
Join us as we venture behind the curtain of Houdini’s final performance. A mysterious magician’s assistant prepares the absinthe, the shackles, and a séance. Houdini gasps for breath as his life flashes before his eyes. An invisible crowd applauds. You are the audience for this magic show of life, death, and the beyond. After a lifetime of death defying escapes, Houdini is ready for his final curtain call. You will be there to distinguish reality from fiction – if you can.
Presented as a part of the 2013 Philadelphia International Performing Arts Festival.
Sponsored by The Jacob Burns Foundation and Rowan University's College of Performing Arts.
