The international percussion sensation STOMP is returning to Reynolds Performance Hall on October 22, 2024 @ 7:00 pm.
From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an international sensation over the past 29 years, having performed in more than 50 countries and in front of more than 26 million people. Throughout its life, the show has continued to change by creating new material to bring music to everyday objects. It is safe to say you will never again look at supermarket carts or plumbing fixtures the same way… or paint cans, or kitchen sinks or…
Synchronized stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra, eight Zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – dustbins, suitcases, radiator hoses, boots, hub caps – to fill the stage with a compelling and unique act that is often imitated but never duplicated.
Current UCA Students may receive two FREE tickets to see STOMP.
– To obtain your tickets you must visit the box office in person with your current UCA ID before the day of the performance.
– Free tickets are subject to seating availability and, therefore, an event may sell out before the date arrives for free tickets.
– We cannot place orders for free tickets over the phone, nor can you bring the ID of anyone else in order to obtain more than 2 free tickets.
