PARIS — Celebration Barn celebrates its 48th season with a performance and silent auction at its biggest event of the year: “The Spectacular: A Fundraiser for Celebration Barn Theater” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 20.

Executive Artistic Director Amanda Huotari describes the special event as “an evening to experience, celebrate and support international theater arts in Maine — Celebration Barn’s hallmark. With an exceptional cast, this show will be elegant and full of both laughs and surprises.”

This year’s Spectacular features performances by Cirque du Soleil’s Kyle Driggs, Martha Graham Dance Company soloist Andrea Murillo, Austin’s award-winning puppeteer CB Goodman, and Emmy-nominated viral video artist Fritz Grobe, among other distinguished guests.

In addition to the show, audience members will have the final opportunity to bid on silent auction items, which include a Tuscan vacation, white-water rafting trips and a day sail in Casco Bay.
