Celebration Barn Theater plans to present Mike Miclon’s The Early Evening Show at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14 at 190 Stock Farm Road in South Paris. The show, a Celebration Barn Show Series staple and audience favorite, takes place on the Barn’s outdoor, open-air stage.

The Early Evening Show, a spoof of late-night talk shows, has been performed from New England to Switzerland. 22 years and over 200 performances have made it the longest-running live variety show in Maine history.

The show will feature guest Karen Montanaro, world-renowned dancer and mime artist, award-winning choreographer, and the innovator of “mimedance” (the fusion of two classical art forms). Karen danced professionally with the Ohio Ballet and the Darmstadt Opera Ballet in Germany before meeting master mime and Celebration Barn’s founder, Tony Montanaro. For more than a decade, the duo toured and taught internationally. She is a recent recipient of the Individual Artist Fellowship grant from the Maine Arts Commission.

Tickets cost $18 for adults, $16 for seniors (60-plus), and $8 for children. Purchase tickets early for limited reserved seating, or bring your own chair. Tickets are general admission. Parking and concessions open at 6:15 p.m.
