Cornell College Theatre Production: The Spitfire Grill
<p dir="ltr">By Fred Alley, James Valcq, and Lee David Zlotoff; directed by Caroline Price. A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill.</p><p dir="ltr">From the New York Times: "A soul satisfying … work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows." </p>

The holiday-themed show will feature illusions performed by the duo that will be sure to get audiences in the Christmas spirit.</p><p>“We cannot wait to celebrate the most magical time of the year with our audience,” Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass shared. “We will spend an unforgettable evening together. Get ready to experience the miracle of Christmas in your hearts and minds.”</p><p> </p><p>When Amélie van Tass and Thommy Ten met in October 2011, they began to develop their "second sight" act, and two months later brought it on stage for the first time.

More recently, in early 2019, they were personally invited to compete in the AGT spinoff, America’s Got Talent: The Champions, wowing the judges with every performance. Being part of not one, but two highly successful TV shows has been another major step in the evolution of their career.</p><p>A highlight of their career was the opportunity to perform their show at the Sydney Opera House. In winter 2016, they experienced another career highlight, headlining the show “The Illusionists - Turn of the Century” in the Palace Theatre in New York City, on Broadway. The show was the best selling magic show in Broadway history.</p><p>Van Tass and Ten were awarded “The German Champions of Mentalism,” “Magicians of the Year 2015,” and, also in 2015, were enthusiastically chosen as the “World Champions of Mentalism,” a prize that hasn't been awarded in 30 years.</p><p>In April 2017, the Academy of Magical Arts and The Magic Castle Hollywood awarded Thommy Ten & Amélie van Tass "Stage Magicians of the Year 2016" for their extraordinary art.</p><p>Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass continue to appear with their full length show in America and Europe and perform for corporate events worldwide.
