When the animals revolt against Jones, they find themselves responsible for their own fate on the farm. The initially set up a government where everyone had an equal say. But slowly, things begin to change. What will happen?

This is a powerful allegory about the dangers of socialism. It shows how things sound good in the beginning but slowly everything devolves. Written during Stalin's USSR, some references might be dated, but this is a warning well worth heeding today.

This is not your average magic show. Darren Romeo is a really good magician and singer. The illusions are top notch and worth going to see. This is a magic show so there are going to be dancers and assistants that wear outfits that show some skin. Live animals are a part of the show but it isn't an animal act.
I love watching magic in any way I can, live being the best, and I can say that this is a great show. The pop cultural references span the ages well and I have taken my niece there.
