Two
TWO presents a complete character building performance and educational program that captures the attention of students with their amazing skills in juggling, contortion, acrobatics, physical comedy, theatrics, original techno music and inventive choreography.
Having performed at The White House three times and being recognized as "one of the hottest juggling acts in the country!" by Inside Edition, Jason and Matthew Tardy are living proof that education, hard work and dedication are a direct path to a successful future.
After training at the Celebration Barn Theater with Mime Master Tony Montanaro and world-renowned jugglers Michael Menes and Peter Davision, they performed with the world's most highly awarded juggling troupe, Blink.
Although they toured throughout the Northeastern U.S. during high school, they were able to graduate early by increasing their course load while earning top grades. Both were inducted into the National Honor Society, and Jason graduated as Valedictorian of his class, speaking to the importance of goal setting and course juggling in his graduation speech.
"As hip as STOMP and as inventive as BLAST" is how the Bristol Valley Theater describes the show. TWO has amazed audiences at events across the country and abroad including performances at The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, on Princess Cruise Lines and in the International Juggler's Festival. They have also appeared on local and national television such as WGME's Daybreak, PBS's True North, CBS's Sunday Morning and Inside Edition. Juggle Magazine has described the show as "Juggling meets the X-Games".
