Join Check City for the international percussion sensation- Stomp! This show is totally unique and has been performed in over 350 cities in 36 countries.

Several young performers “make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound,” said co-creator/director Luke Cresswell. This means that anything can be used stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra; pipes become different notes; zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue; wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion; and garbage cans turn into drums.

Audiences everywhere have been captivated and mesmerized by the lively rhythms of STOMP!
